Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 2 How to build a good relationship with Tang San

Jerry excitedly ran up to Tang Hao with his short legs: "Uncle Tang Hao, is Little Tang San here? I want to play with him."

Hearing Jerry's childish voice, Tang Hao slightly opened his drowsy eyes, glanced at me, and said, "Oh, it's little Jerry. Are you looking for Xiao San? He went to play in the back mountain. Go there and find him!" After saying that, he closed his eyes again. After all, he didn't take the three-year-old kid seriously.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang Hao. I'm going to find Xiao San now!" Jerry said, and ran towards the back mountain.

Tang Hao then thought of Xiao San, who was a bit withdrawn and never played with the other children in the village. Little Jerry was the same age as him, so they should be able to play together! With that thought, he fell asleep peacefully again!

Jerry ran to the back mountain, panting heavily. Children's bodies are so weak; he got tired after walking only a short distance. It seems he needs to strengthen his training in the future. But the thought of fooling Tang San suddenly gave him motivation, and he quickened his pace.

The so-called back mountain is just a small hill, about forty or fifty meters high, with a winding path leading directly to the top. Occasionally, some children come to play there, but adults rarely do.

After a great deal of effort, Jerry finally reached the top of the hill. The air at the top was fresh, and the view was excellent. He could see the entire village in one glance.

There was a large rock on the hillside, and sitting on it was a small child. This must be Tang San. He was of average appearance and a bit thin, clearly a malnourished child. He wore simple, faded clothes, but they were very clean, unlike the other children. He truly had the soul of an adult; he knew how to care for cleanliness!

How should I approach Tang San? I'm suddenly at a loss.

No, wait, I'm a child now, so I should use a child's way. What kind of way is a child?

After all, it's a bit shameless for an adult to suddenly act like a child.

[Forget it, I'm just a kid now, why think so much! But Tang San also has the soul of an adult. Based on my experience reading hundreds of fanfictions, Tang San is a hypocrite, a vindictive man, and someone who holds grudges. In his past life, he was able to steal the Tang Sect's secret manual as an outer disciple, so his scheming must have been extraordinary! Well, I guess I'll just have to give it a try!]

"Tang San, Tang San, what are you doing?" Jerry asked.

"Oh, it's Jerry. I'm not doing anything, just out to enjoy the scenery. Want to come and play?" Tang San said.

When Tang San heard someone calling him, he quickly finished his work and looked at Little Jerry. It turned out to be the village chief's grandson! Just then, he realized that he had already cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to the first level, but he couldn't break through. He was feeling a bit annoyed. His father was an alcoholic who did nothing but wait for him to cook. After all, he had a father now and was no longer an orphan. Tang San cherished this hard-won family affection very much!

"I see you're different from the other kids in the village. You're more sensible, so I wanted to ask you to come with me to get something to eat. Eating porridge every day is so bland. Let's go get some meat," Jerry said, making up an excuse.

Hearing Jerry suggest they go get something to eat, she immediately became interested. Yes, if she could get something to eat herself, it would improve her life. Thinking of this, she quickly ran downstairs!

"Little Jerry, where are we going to get something to eat?" Tang San asked.

"There's a waterfall to the west of the back mountain. I saw lots of fish under the waterfall. Let's go there and catch some fish," Jerry said! After all, he needed to build a good relationship with Tang San. He couldn't just ask for the cultivation technique right away. If he aroused Tang San's suspicion, he might not even survive the third episode! It was better to be careful!

"But the water is a bit deep there, and we're all too short to go down," Tang San said.

As long as you don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties. If you can't slack off, does that mean you can't fish?

"I have a plan. Let's go home and get the tools. With the tools, we can catch any fish we want, trust me!" Jerry said confidently. As a seasoned angler, getting the tools was second nature to him!

After saying that, she ran back to the village with Tang San. They went home first and found two needles from memory. However, the needles were a bit big, and since they were made of coarse linen, the needles they used were obviously not small.

"Tang San, your family owns a blacksmith's workshop. Can you forge something for me? I'll draw a diagram for you. It's small and won't require many materials!" Jerry said, drawing a fishhook shape on the ground.

"Oh, this looks easy. I can make it myself. Come on, let's go to my house!" Tang San said, pulling Jerry away.

When they arrived at the blacksmith's workshop, Tang Hao was still lying lazily in front of the door.

"Dad, we want to make a little thing," Tang San said.

"Crafting things? Can you do that?" Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes and asked.

"It's a very simple thing, I can do it!" Tang San said. He had already created the Buddhist Angry Lotus in his previous life, so this little fishhook was a piece of cake.

"Then go ahead!" Tang Hao said, then closed his eyes and continued sleeping.

Then Tang San began the forging process, and with skillful technique, it was completed in no time.

Looking at the fishhook he had just received, Jerry tried it out. It was very sharp, handmade, and indeed much better than the mass-produced fishhooks from his previous life.

Jerry is a seasoned angler, not a novice, so he mostly uses barbless hooks, which minimizes the damage to the fish.

Then Tang San made several more of different sizes. We don't know the exact size of the fish yet, so we're preparing more for future use.

The fishing hook is done, and then I found a roll of thick hemp line. The line used by ordinary people in this world is still quite thick. After a few tugs, it was very strong and would be perfect as a fishing line. But what about the float?

So they went out to search together with Tang San and finally found some dry reeds by the river. They threw them into the water to test them, and the buoyancy was okay, so they could be used, but they couldn't be used for a long time because they would absorb water. Since there was no waterproof coating available, they had no choice but to make do.

With the float material ready, and given the limited resources, I simply cut it into sections to use as a seven-star float. The sinker was a piece of scrap iron I found in Tang San's fertilizer pile. Although it wasn't lead, the material was quite soft, so I just rolled it up and used it.

The fishing rods were two bamboo poles, each about four meters long. Longer bamboo poles were available, but they were a bit too thick and inconvenient to hold. Jerry knew of a type of bamboo that was thin and long, but there was no such bamboo in the village. So they could only use ordinary bamboo for now, fish and see what the fish were like, and then improve their equipment later.

Looking at the two fishing rods Jerry made, Tang San asked, "Jerry, can these tools catch fish?" After all, Tang San's previous life's Tang Clan was in Shu, and he was adopted by the Tang Clan from a young age, living in the mountains. Being an ancient person, he had never seen modern fishing equipment!

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Jerry was very confident, the confidence of a seasoned fisherman!

Honestly, I don't know who he was in his past life, but he was addicted to fishing for turtles every day. He would go to the river to cast a few lines whenever he had free time. Many anglers in the area knew him and secretly called him Master Turtle, the Air Force Commander!

This person, however, was oblivious to his own shortcomings. He hadn't caught many fish, his skills were mediocre, yet he had accumulated a huge amount of equipment, spending all his living expenses on it! But when it came to fishing, he was incredibly confident, and if anyone mentioned him, he could argue with you for ages.
