Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

"Those simple-minded fools are still the easiest to fool. He probably doesn't realize that no matter how many fish he catches today, the total amount each household can catch is still limited. What advantage can he possibly gain?"

Inside the shed, watching Li Xingdao grinning foolishly as he stared at the three fishing rods, Li Gou sneered and spoke disdainfully to Li Xiaohua.

As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes: "If it weren't for the fact that my second uncle made him work, this idiot, daring to talk back to me like that, would not only let him miss out on a fish, but I'd also kill him!"

"Stop harming people. You've already caused trouble by killing his parents, and now you've left him with a mentally challenged person. There's always a way out. If you go too far, you'll be punished."

Upon hearing Li Gou's words, Li Xiaohua pursed her lips and spoke in a very low voice:

"This fool doesn't know, but don't you know? My second uncle couldn't have children after he caused his parents' death, didn't he?"

"Moreover, now we've harmed this fool's parents and tricked him into coming to our house to live off their destitute children. His parents were scholars in the imperial court. Although they were stripped of their literary status, they still retain some of their literary talent. Who knows what kind of retribution my second uncle will suffer for doing this?"

As Li Xiaohua spoke, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face: "Our family used to be workers at Li Xingdao's brick factory, but now that he's killed his parents and taken control of his own life, I'm afraid even we might..."

"Alright, little sister, why are you saying all this? Our family members are tough, what are we afraid of?"

Upon hearing Li Xiaohua's words, Li Gou looked displeased and said in a low voice, "If we didn't kill his parents, would our family have enough to eat every day?"

"He only has one mentally challenged son in his family. What ability could he possibly have to take revenge? As for my second uncle's inability to have children, we can just have him see a doctor once his leg heals. At worst, we can have one of his uncles give him a son. Why would we be worried about the family line dying out?"

Li Gou stopped Li Xiaohua from saying anything more, lowering his voice and saying, "Hearing you say this makes me lose all my mood. You can make trouble out of nothing. Don't say anything more."

"Then don't treat this idiot too badly. As long as he can work, treat him the way you'd expect."

Li Xiaohua pursed her lips and sighed.

Hearing her say that, Li Gou stopped talking, walked to the other side with an unhappy expression, took a sip of water from the water gourd, and looked at the pond indifferently.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiaohua helplessly picked up her fish basket and watched Li Xingdao fishing with three rods in front of her.

…………

"What are those two whispering about?"

Li Xingdao, who was happily fishing by the pond and watching his skill level increase, glanced at the brother and sister who suddenly lowered their voices and whispered to each other with some doubt.

When they speak loudly, he can still hear them clearly from this distance.

The fact that I could hear their conversation earlier meant that they weren't trying to hide it from him, the idiot.

But if you lower your voice, you can't hear anything at all.

"Never mind, upgrading is the priority."

Li Xingdao glanced at it twice, shook his head, and seeing the float on the left being pulled into the water, he hurriedly ran over to lift the rod.

"Whoosh~"

As a crucian carp leaped out of the water, Li Xingdao saw the message that his skill level had increased again. He looked delighted and quickly threaded an earthworm onto the hook.

As soon as I put the fishing rod down, I saw the two floats next to me start moving at the same time, so I quickly pulled them up one by one.

[Fishing +1]

[Fishing +1]

[Fishing +1]…………

As one experience point after another came in, Li Xingdao, like a diligent old farmer, was as happy as a child weighing over 100 pounds, constantly lifting his rod and reeling in the fish!

And so, one cast after another, one small fish after another was pulled up.

Unfortunately, Li Xingdao only had small hooks, and he could only catch fish that were 20 or 30 centimeters long. He couldn't catch any bigger ones, nor could he catch any smaller ones.

Even so, the feeling of constantly catching fish is still addictive.

They pulled the fish up one by one, as quickly as picking corn.

As the fish were being caught, Li Xingdao even forgot about time, and his fatigue was swept away by the pressure.

Then, at a certain moment, as yet another fish was caught and placed into the sixth fish basket that Li Xiaohua brought over, his expression changed drastically.

【渔夫职业经验值满足，渔夫Lv3（250/250）提升至渔夫Lv4（0/1250）】

[Attribute Points +0.4]

[Fishing skill upgraded from Lv3 to Lv4]

[New effect at Fishing Lv4: Learns methods and techniques for guiding fish to desired areas]

A series of messages flashed across the panel, and then Li Xingdao's attribute points increased by 0.4 points instantly, making him look extremely surprised.

0.4 attribute points may seem like a lot, but it's already close to the strength of an average person.

"My spirit attribute is already 1.3, and with this 0.4, it will be 1.7, almost twice the physical strength of a healthy adult!"

Li Xingdao's face lit up, and a sense of joy unconsciously rose in his heart.

A difference of 10% in strength can make a significant difference, let alone a 70% overtake?

"However, in life-or-death battles, many factors can have a fatal impact. Before we have a means to overcome ordinary attacks, we should be cautious and develop our strength in a low-key manner."

Li Xingdao took a deep breath, suppressing the joy in his heart.

He also knew that now was not the time to immediately add attribute points.

He suppressed his joy, then checked the time. Seeing that it was almost noon, he hurriedly reattached the fishhook with earthworms and cast it back into the ditch to continue fishing.

"Splash!"

The fishing float next to him was also pulled away, and Li Xingdao hurriedly went to retrieve it.

[Fishing +1]

The fisherman's experience points increased again, and so it went until the sun was directly overhead.

"Brother Xingdao, it's noon, hurry back and have lunch."

Just as Li Xingdao was about to fish again, Li Xiaohua swayed her taut and delicate body over, her fair face revealing a shy smile as she smiled at Li Xingdao and spoke.

"Okay, that's enough fishing!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao immediately smiled sheepishly and spoke. After saying this, seeing that the remaining two rods had caught enough fish, he hurriedly ran over, lifted the fishing rods, and caught two more fish. His mouth was practically crooked from smiling.

Fisherman Lv4 (Experience 18/1250)

[Job Skill: Fishing Lv4]

Li Xingdao took the fish off the hook, put away the fishing rod, and looked at the five full fish baskets and one half full fish basket beside him. A bright smile appeared on his face again.

"These are your brother's. Tell him to prepare the earthworms this afternoon. I'll have lunch at home, take a nap, and then come over to fish for you!"

Li Xingdao spoke excitedly, but as he was speaking, he turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with a gentle face, light eyebrows, a curvaceous figure, fair skin, and a graceful body walking towards him. He immediately raised an eyebrow:

"Auntie's here!"

"Xingdao, it's lunchtime, why haven't you come back yet?"
