Chapter 63 Fishing for a Treasure Chest
"Who said I can't stay long?"

Chu Cheng sat on the chair, swung the fishing rod in his hand into the sea, picked up the beer beside him and drank it in big gulps.

"I want to see how long you can last."

After drinking the beer in the cup in one gulp, he turned around and looked at Sun Yu and Pan Yue who were sitting beside him and no longer pretending, and said with a chuckle:
"I can stay at the pier and fish every day. Can you fish every day?"

Sun Yu and Pan Yue both looked very unhappy, but their expressions were stubborn. They gritted their teeth and said:
"I don't believe you really fished for two months."

"Then you watch carefully and see if I can catch a fish."

Quickly grab the fishing rod and lift it up.

"Hey, it's a big fish!"

He stood up excitedly and began to wrestle with the giant creature in the sea.

Ten minutes later, a sharp-toothed herring weighing more than 20 kilograms was caught.

"Tip: Fishing proficiency +1, your fishing skill is upgraded to intermediate fishing."

"Really cool!"

In just two days, Lin Lin had caught more than 30 fish in total, and his fishing skills had accumulated enough proficiency to be upgraded.

You have to know that I spent a whole half month fishing in the Black Sail Pirates dungeon, and my proficiency only increased by 20 to 30 points. Now it has increased by more than ten points in just two days, and my efficiency has increased dramatically.

The reason for this is naturally due to the help of the golden finger.

The original skill acceleration effect of the cheat code was not effective for life profession skills such as fishing. Since the official unlocking of the first stage, the function has been improved and has covered all aspects of itself, and even life professions such as fishing can be effective.

“Keep fishing!”

Chu Cheng became interested and wanted to see if he could upgrade his fishing skills to advanced or even expert level in this dungeon.

Although fishing skills will not improve your strength, they are still quite useful at certain times. At a high level, it is possible to catch some precious fish or even treasures.

Just like this sharp-toothed black carp weighing more than 50 kilograms that I just caught, it is no problem to sell it for coppers.

Two pieces equal one silver coin.

This is not the most expensive one. It is written in the information that there are two very rare fish in this copy. One is the crystal scale fish, which can be sold for 10 silvers, and the other is the dragon scale fish, which can be sold for 1 gold.

Moreover, the official Gear City is purchasing dragon scale fish, and one dragon scale fish will give 50 points of Gear City reputation, but after getting the reputation, there will be no money left.

This is also a good way to increase your reputation. In theory, you can use this to increase your reputation to revered.

Because the purchase of dragon scale fish in Gear City is not limited to this world, you can buy dragon scale fish in the outside world, and then return to Gear City to hand it in to increase your reputation, and reach reverence in one go.

It's just that the investment is too outrageous.

A dragon scale fish costs 50 reputation, and the revered reputation requires 20000, which is equivalent to 400 dragon scale fish, with a cost of 400 gold.

Anyway, Chu Cheng wouldn't be willing to do this. Wouldn't it be great if he could catch 400 dragon scale fish and get 400 gold?

He was sitting peacefully on the dock fishing, but Sun Yu and others who were following him were feeling very uncomfortable.

They were able to hold their patience for the first few days, but as Chu Cheng spent day after day at the dock fishing and seemed to be enjoying it, they became a little restless.

"I can't go on like this."

Pan Yue pinched her brows and said in a deep voice:

"He can stay here and fish without doing anything, but we can't. We still need to improve our reputation and accumulate points and ratings. We can't waste time here."

Sun Yu was also quite annoyed:
"But what can we do if he doesn't leave? Are we just going to ignore him?"

"No matter what."

"Well, leave one person here to watch him, and everyone else leave."

"Who to keep?"

"Let's go with Xu Zhiyuan, he's the fastest." "Let him stay for a week. If he still doesn't leave after a week, we'll just ignore him."

"Row!"

Chu Cheng only found out about Sun Yu’s team’s departure the day after they left, but he didn’t care and had no intention of leaving, so he continued fishing.

After a few days, he found that this fishing skill could really be upgraded to a high level.

It turns out that fishing for the same fish basically only gives one or two points of proficiency, and it will not increase anymore. Fishing for smaller fish will not increase the proficiency at all.

It is different now. For the same fish, you will be given three or four points at the beginning, and the value will go up if you continue to fish. It’s just that you need to catch many fish to get a little bit higher, and the demand will increase as time goes by.

But no matter what, the fact that it can increase is a qualitative difference.

What’s lacking in variety and quality, we make up for with quantity.

Just find a spot and fish hard, and you can gain more than ten proficiency points a day. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to catch a few big fish, you can gain more than twenty proficiency points.

The proficiency of this life profession is 100 points regardless of the level, which is similar to a percentage. If you increase it by a little over ten or twenty points a day, you can make up points in a week.

If he could continue to upgrade after reaching the advanced level, and could raise his fishing skills to the expert level here, Chu Cheng felt that it was worth wasting half a month here.

After a week, the proficiency was accumulated enough on time and the fishing skills were successfully upgraded to the advanced level.

Chu Cheng grinned and swung down another pole.

Just as he lowered the rod and swung it left and right a few times, the float suddenly stopped. He subconsciously lifted the rod, but it felt very heavy.

"Are there any big fish again?"

He lifted the rod with force with excitement, but found that this rod was different from usual. Although it was heavy, it did not have the pulling force of catching a big fish, but was purely heavy.

"Did you hook the garbage?"

The huge force easily lifted the rod, and as a shadow emerged from the water, it turned out to be an extremely exquisite box with fish hooks hanging on the left and right hooks of the box.

"Treasure chest?"

Several goblins fishing nearby looked over curiously:

"Man, you're really lucky."

Chu Cheng chuckled:
"I'm really lucky today."

I just upgraded my skills and immediately caught a treasure chest.

I took the treasure chest back and lifted it up. It felt very heavy. I wiped off the moss and sand on it, revealing the exquisite patterns on the outside. The chest was gilded.

"This treasure chest is of a high level!"

The treasure chest caught by fishing is different from the loot treasure chest. The value of the loot treasure chest depends on its color, while the value of the regular treasure chest depends on the material and appearance of the box. The better the material and the more exquisite the decoration on the outside, the higher the value.

This treasure chest has exquisite patterns and is lining with gold. It is of very high quality and will definitely yield good things.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who immediately tilted his head and focused on his fishing rod.

It was too boring to just watch these days, so he got a fishing rod and started fishing.

It's just that he had never learned to fish before, his skill level was too low, and he had no experience, so he didn't catch anything in the past few days.

Chu Cheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed the lock of the treasure chest. With a slight sound, the treasure chest opened. He looked inside and showed joy on his face.

Xu Zhiyuan, who was standing next to him, immediately looked over with curiosity when he turned around.

There were three things in the treasure chest: a small bag with a faint red light emitting from the open mouth, a scroll, and a letter.

When seeing the bag emitting red light, Chu Cheng was delighted, while Xu Zhiyuan showed surprise and envy.
