Chapter 124: Amazing Fishing Rod

Three days later,

in the south of the Ochimma Federation,

this is a continuous coastline known as 【Carter Port】.

Carter Port is a long bay occupying a vast stretch of the Ochimma Federation's coastline.

Although somewhat winding, the terrain is overall quite long and straight, so a very famous sport exists here.

Long-distance marathon!

There are professional tracks here, and large-scale marathon events are held two or three times a year, boosting the local economy.

It is said that the marathon track here is the longest of the Six Continents, attracting many challengers.

But most cannot even run half the distance, hence it is also called the 【Road That Never Ends】.

At the same time, being close to the ocean, it is also known as the largest seaport of the Six Continents.

The south of the Ochimma Federation is the southeast corner of the Six Continents; beyond it lies a vast, boundless sea.

Among these, besides the marathon, the most well-known is the local 【Sea Market】, famous throughout the Six Continents.

The Sea Market is a local activity, just like in other coastal regions.

Every morning, fishing boats go out to catch fish, bringing the seafood they haul up to the market to sell.

Fishing boats are roughly divided into two types based on their time at sea.

One is the short voyage; these are usually small boats that go out to fish and return the same day.

The other is the long voyage; these vessels are generally larger, and their return time is uncertain.

Usually around a week.

Long voyages make it easier to catch rare ingredients and items, but the danger is also higher.

If something special is caught, it is sold to the local auction house, evaluated, and then auctioned off.

The most special thing is that the seafood here is not ordinary, and strange items often appear.

Ordinary coastal cities mostly only catch ordinary ingredients, but many fish here have levels.

Even seafood ingredients of higher levels are considered rare.

The vast majority of people do not know what lies at the end of this sea.

Only a few know clearly that the end of the sea is the Dark Continent.

Perhaps because this location is closest to the Dark Continent.

So strange creatures or rare, peculiar treasures often appear here.

Combined with the title of the largest bay, 【Carter Port】 is also rated as one of the top ten tourist attractions of the Six Continents.

Every year, a considerable number of people come to tour, and the local tourism industry has developed quite well.

South of 【Carter Port】 is the dock, where many shipping containers are stacked, carrying goods from all over the world.

To the north, which is the main sightseeing area, lies a relatively large beach named 【Mana Beach】.

Standing on the beach, one can see the beautiful scene where sea and sky meet in the distance; the 920 azure sea and the clear sky are sharply distinct.

Occasionally, a salty sea breeze blows over, filled with the scent of the ocean.

On the boardwalk,

Shizuku held the sightseeing brochure, reading the information about 【Carter Port】 word by word.

After looking left and right for a while, Shizuku pouted and sighed, "Indeed, sightseeing brochures are all lies."

"Where is it so popular? I don't see many people on the beach."

Machi casually took the brochure, shrugged, and said helplessly, "It is winter; it is normal that no one comes to the beach."

"Who would come to surf or play on this sea covered with floating ice?"

"At most, they come to see the scenery, build two sandcastles, and then leave."

"Machi is right."

Biscuit casually agreed, her eyes flashing with a greedy look named "envy and longing."

At this moment, she was holding the 【Carter Port】 jewelry brochure; it is said that many people have found high-grade pearls from local shells.

This is also one of the local specialties—gambling on shells.

In 【Carter Port】, people can catch shells themselves and then dig for pearls.

However, this method is too troublesome for tourists; many just want to experience it.

Thus, 【Shell Gambling】 arose; locals spend time going out to sea to catch a large number of shells at once, then sell them at the 【Sea Market】.

But it is not a simple sale; like gambling on stones, guests buy unopened shells.

"Machi, let's go visit the 【Sea Market】 together later."

Biscuit's eyes sparkled, coaxing Machi to go with her.

Machi sighed lightly, feeling as if she were raising two children alone.

Since it is winter, even the sea breeze is cold, so the group is naturally wearing winter clothes.

Biscuit, bold due to her high skill, continued wearing her wine-red Princess dress, unchanged all year round, just like Crayon Shin-chan.

Machi wore a pure white colored cultivation practice outfit, with a black belt tied around her waist and a spherical wrist guard on her wrist.

Several needles were inserted into it, serving as tools to facilitate her further use of threads.

Her general appearance is much like when she first appeared in the original work, but perhaps due to the weather, or perhaps for other reasons.

She wore black trousers, which perfectly highlighted her slender leg shape.

Shizuku still kept her jet-black short hair and wore a black wool sweater; this is quite similar to the original style.

On the beach nearby,

on the Jin Huang sand, there were only a few sun umbrellas, and they were even left behind by others; few tourists appeared.

On the vast beach, only a few people were visible at a glance, forming a stark contrast with the peak tourist season.

"Bui!"

Eevee used its fluffy little paw to paw at the sand, then piled it up bit by bit; with a couple of simple scratches, a rectangular shape appeared.

It wanted to build a castle.

Luo Ge stood beside Eevee, gazing at the distant waves, thinking the scenery here was indeed quite nice.

On the azure ocean, a few ice-blue ice floes drifted occasionally, swaying with the waves, while the sea breeze blowing in was very cool.

Seeing this, Luo Ge used his Nen ability here for the day.

"Obtained item 【Thousand Fragrance Fruit】 x20."

"Obtained item 【Net Ball】 x5."

"Obtained item 【Awesome Fishing Rod】"

"Obtained skill 【Surf】"

As expected, the items and skills obtained were all related to water.

【Thousand Fragrance Fruit】: When hit by a super-effective Water-type attack, damage is reduced.

【Net Ball】: Can capture Water-type and Bug-type creatures more easily; the probability is 3.5 times that of a Poké Ball.

【Awesome Fishing Rod】: Can catch creatures very easily, and the probability of encountering rare awesome creatures is high.

【Surf】: On land, it can conjure huge waves to attack; used at sea, one can move directly by standing on the water's surface.

Damage to creatures hiding underwater is doubled.
