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

No wonder these fish are so easy to catch; it turns out the owner is watching and not letting anyone fish for them.

"What are we going to do? Such a great upgrade opportunity, and we're stuck with it."

Li Xingdao carried the fish basket on his way back, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Compared to the fisherman who only gains one experience point for chopping down a tree, but gains one experience point for every fish caught, the fisherman was the answer in the early version!

A way to easily level up your profession and gain attribute points is right in front of you.

As a result, it got stuck.

"That kid is pretty fierce."

Li Xingdao gritted his teeth, recalling the fierce look in the eyes of that kid who had charged at him with the iron fork.

This little bastard is so fierce, he must have learned it from his father.

There wasn't a single good one in this whole litter!

"I don't know if I'll be able to go fishing again after we've eaten all these fish."

Li Xingdao felt helpless and could only think of a compromise. He silently picked up the fish basket and walked towards Li Lai's house.

It's only been about half an hour since Aunt Zhang Cui brought him to Dongtang.

When Li Xingdao arrived at the door with his fish basket, he saw Zhang Cui drying vegetables at the door. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her fair arms, and a wooden winnowing basket was tucked between her graceful waist and arms.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Upon seeing Li Xingdao return carrying a fish basket, he looked over in surprise and spoke.

"The fish were easy to catch. I caught ten, and then that kid chased me away with a pitchfork, so I had to come back."

Li Xingdao lifted the fish basket, which was already quite heavy in his hand, and spoke with displeasure on his honest face.

"You silly boy, ten fish are enough. Eat them first to nourish your body, lest you get sick."

Before Zhang Cui could say anything after hearing Li Xingdao's words, a voice came from inside the house.

Li Xingdao turned his head and saw Li Lai, leaning on his cane, walking to the door. Seeing the fish basket Li Xingdao had brought back, he said with satisfaction:

"The number of fish in the pond is limited. Each household can catch a maximum of thirty fish per month, and the rest will be harvested together at the Lunar New Year."

"With these ten, we can eat them for two days to replenish our bodies. Let's clean the fish, cook five today, and five more tomorrow, so we can have some meat in our bellies."

As Li Lai spoke, imagining the scene of him soon eating fish, his expression became even happier: "Come on, let me see the fish."

"Okay, I'll go kill the fish."

After Li Lai finished speaking, Li Xingdao turned around with a silly grin on his face and went to the kitchen to take a knife and kill the fish, which made Li Lai's expression darken even more.

But thinking about it, it seems that such a simpleton is indeed not very good at absorbing much information.

When someone talks at such a long pace, you can only hear the beginning and then act on it, not the end.

"Otherwise, how could this fool have let me take over his land and grain?"

Li Lai's expression was sarcastic, but when he saw Li Xingdao pour the fish out of the fish basket, his displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a broad smile.

"This kid may be a bit slow-witted, but he's pretty quick at his work."

Li Lai watched with a smile as Li Xingdao deftly killed and scaled the fish. The ten plump fish piled on the ground were a delightful sight.

He slowly squinted, basking in the sun, but kept glancing at Li Xingdao, his fingers twitching, seemingly trying to figure out what he was thinking.

"Splash splash splash..."

Li Xingdao swiftly removed the scales from the fish with his knife, cleaning all ten fish in no time.

"Auntie, let's eat fish."

After cleaning the fish, Li Xingdao walked up to Zhang Cui, handed the cleaned fish to her plump body, and said with a smile.

"I'll go sprinkle some salt on it and marinate it until noon. You can rest here."

Zhang Cui had just finished hanging up the vegetables when she took the fish, said something to Li Xingdao, and went to the kitchen to prepare the fish with a smile on her gentle face.

"Okay, Auntie."

Li Xingdao watched Zhang Cui waddle away with her large buttocks, reluctantly turning his gaze away.

He patted his stomach again, resisting the urge to immediately allocate attribute points, and walked straight past Li Lai, who was watching him, without glancing to either side. He went into the inner room and lay down on the bed to rest.

He really needs to rest.

"Hey, this idiot."

Seeing that Li Xingdao went back to his room to sleep without even glancing at him, Li Lai stomped his cane in anger and cursed.

But seeing that Li Xingdao was already asleep inside, he could only suppress his anger.

"..."

Feeling physically weak is an unpleasant experience.

Li Xingdao fell asleep as soon as he lay down and didn't wake up until he heard the sound of stir-frying.

Hearing that it wasn't time to eat yet, he didn't rush to get up, but instead squinted his eyes and pondered.

"I can only catch thirty fish per month, which means I won't be able to level up my fisherman profession this month."

"The restriction on the source of fish is truly a problem."

Feeling frustrated, Li Xingdao began to think of other solutions.

But after thinking it over and over, I still couldn't come up with a solution.

Two of the three professions—woodcutter, fisherman, and farmer—have been unlocked; the farmer's farming needs will have to wait until the crops are harvested.

With limited fish sources, leveling up quickly is really difficult.

After much thought, he could only decide to target the woodcutter.

"After absorbing 0.3 attribute points, my physical fitness will be about the same as a normal adult. As long as I have the willpower, I'll definitely be much stronger than those office workers in my previous life."

Li Xingdao pondered to himself, but the problem was, how should he go about cutting down the trees...?

"I'll rest for a few days first. Once I'm feeling better, I'll ask around to see if I can find work chopping wood for someone else."

After thinking it over, Li Xingdao realized that this was the only plan he could make. Then, as he watched the lunch being prepared, an idea suddenly struck him.

0.3 attribute points were immediately added to the Fine attribute.

[Host: Li Xingdao]

【职业：樵夫Lv1（经验值2/10）；渔夫Lv2（经验值0/50）】

(The following profession can be further awakened: Farmer, which requires working the land; after the profession is upgraded to Lv5, you can change professions.)

【Fine: 1】

[Qi: 0.5]

【God: 5】

[Skills: Woodcutting (Lv1); Fishing (Lv2)]

After allocating the attribute points, Li Xingdao instantly felt a warm sensation within his body. Once the warm sensation subsided, he felt a significant increase in his strength!

But at the same time, there was also physical hunger!

"Time to eat."

Just then, Zhang Cui's voice rang out.

"Coming, Auntie."

Li Xingdao licked his lips, immediately got out of bed, and quickly went into the kitchen.

When Li Lai slowly took his seat in the main seat with a smile on his lips, a pot of seven fish, fish dishes with oil sizzling on them, and a plate of vegetables appeared on the table.

He slowly picked up a fish, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and savored it with a contented look.

Based on my years of experience, I simply close my eyes and enjoy the whole process, slowly savoring the entire fish.

Then he opened his eyes, just as he was about to spit out another one, but when he opened his eyes again...

His eyes widened immediately.

"Why is the bowl empty? Where are the fish?!"

"Uncle Lai, you're so kind. You knew I was hungry, so you gave me all the fish."

Li Xingdao, who chewed up all the fish bones with lightning speed and managed to eat five fish on his own, was moved and spoke to Li Lai.

"..."
