Chapter 1181: The Last Rod

Returned home, Su Sheng rested a moment; game time was still early. He asked Huan Jie and learned she had gone to see the construction of the Yanhuang Building.

Su Sheng also had a slight worry; after all, those mice outside have become more active with the National War System activated.

However, the Yanhuang Building hasn't been exposed yet; although the construction caused a big commotion, the lover still doesn't know that the person building this tower is Yanhuang!

…

Game time.

Su Sheng logged in and appeared near this 90-level training spot on the Little Days Huangcheng map; he glanced at the swamp ahead and, bored, prepared to reel back.

Yesterday's last bit of game time, although over twenty people had all come over.

But in the end, only one person managed to get close to Little Days Huangcheng… Bu Er Li Mang; however, that guy couldn't sneak in—upon approaching, he was spotted by a guard over level 90, since being over ten levels higher allows stealth detection.

In the end, that Bu Er Li Mang guy just took a screenshot of Huangcheng and then used a Return City Scroll.

But that guy was right at the city gate; that screenshot had no value, just a memorial… On the first day the National War System launched, he had already fought his way to the gate of Little Days Huangcheng as a memorial.

As for the others, in the short term they saw no chance to approach Little Days Huangcheng, didn't waste time, and basically all used Return City Scrolls to leave.

At the same time, the players who invaded Little Days' server and were sent to other main cities also scattered.

It can be said that, at this moment, among the Little Days map, Huaxia players reckon that only Su Sheng remains on the Huangcheng side, while other main cities likely still have some.

Su Sheng, unwilling to waste time, also prepared to go back, to run another dungeon, and also had a task: to meet up with the Mao Xiong players.

Because they reached a cooperation with the Mao Xiong side, they were coming to the Huaxia server to run dungeons… So Su Sheng going to meet them was the safest bet; even if they caused trouble, Su Sheng could definitely suppress them.

However, as Su Sheng was preparing to reel in, he suddenly saw that his bait pack had only two left.

Forget it, two bait still occupy one slot.

Let's finish fishing them.

Anyway, it's just two casts; it won't waste much time.

First cast, go!

Less than 20 seconds, a bite!

Su Sheng didn't have any expectations, just yanked the rod.

Result: a flash of red flickered~

Su Sheng's eyes widened suddenly.

Holy shit!

Red catch!

Su Sheng only got serious now, but it was already too late; that initial hopeless, casual yank was just too careless.

Result: as soon as that fish left the water, with a plop it slipped off the hook.

「…」

Su Sheng felt depressed.

Damn it~

Really, you try to plant flowers and they won't bloom, but you casually stick a willow and it grows into shade…

Forget it, last cast.

If you've got the ability, come see if I don't haul you up.

Afterwards, Su Sheng attached the last bait, cast the rod, and this time he got serious.

Then one minute passed…

Then two minutes passed…

Then three minutes passed.

???!

Su Sheng stared at the unmoving float on the water, couldn't help but feel speechless.

What's going on today? These last two casts just keep pulling tricks.

Although the fishing in Zhu Lu Game is already as close to reality as possible, it still depends on the fish situation, huh.

Also depends on the bait, and the fishing rod and such.

Su Sheng was using the highest‑level fishing rod and bait purchasable with gold coins; he figured he couldn't compare to the senior fishing masters in Yong Bu Kong Jun's Fishing Old Man Guild, who obtain their rods and bait through special quests—Yong Bu Kong Jun had even hired Su Sheng before to do rod quests.

In Su Sheng's situation, at a low‑level map fishing spot, not getting a bite for five or six minutes is already considered long.

Anyway, yesterday here he used almost a whole set of bait, and the longest it took to get a bite was just one minute.

What the heck is this last cast doing?

Waited another minute…

This last cast has already passed four minutes.

Well, anyway, it's just one high‑grade bait.

It's only 1000 gold coins; I can afford to throw away 1000 bucks.

If you won't bite, am I not allowed to quit fishing?

Thinking this, Su Sheng immediately prepared to reel in.

And just then!

Boom!

Suddenly, at the spot where Su Sheng cast his rod, a splash of water exploded!

Immediately, the rod in his hand suddenly deformed, pulling into a super‑arc shape.

Thanks to Su Sheng's rod being the highest‑level purchasable with gold coins; if it were a lower‑grade rod, he had no doubt it would have snapped outright.

The fishing in Zhu Lu Game is very realistic; Su Sheng had often seen, by the riverbank of Yanhuang Town, veteran players using whiteboard rods whose rods snapped outright after hooking a big fish.

Right after, Su Sheng felt a huge force transmitted from the fishing rod.

How fierce!

Su Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Sheng had no doubt that if his strength weren't enough, he himself would be dragged down… Although Su Sheng mainly focused on physique, his strength was also over 5000.

Although Su Sheng had never seen a fisherman dragged into the water in the game, he had heard Yong Bu Kong Jun talk about it.

Looks like this time it's really a good catch.

For four or five minutes there was no bite, but unexpectedly a big one came.

Su Sheng immediately got serious and started reeling in.

Just like real-life fishing, he repeatedly pulled and tugged.

So much strength!

Su Sheng gritted his teeth and stepped back a distance, repeatedly pulling and tugging for over half a minute.

Finally, Su Sheng saw something's head pop up from the water.

That was……

A crocodile?!

Su Sheng looked a bit dazed.

The exposed part of the fish head obviously had the appearance of a crocodile.

Hehe, a crocodile is also a fish, right?

Nearby is the training spot for level 90 crocodile monsters, and yet I ended up hooking a crocodile here.

But…

That's not right.

Su Sheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.

That light!

Five-colored!!!

What the heck?

This crocodile is actually a five-colored Divine Artifact catch?!

Last time I caught some kind of flying fish, which was only three-colored, and it directly boosted the lion-like beast's Wing Flap Skill by one level.

Right now this one looks like a five-colored catch, but I don't know what it does.

But now isn't the time to think about that; first get it up.

Whatever you do, don't let it slip off the hook.

Afterwards, Su Sheng continued to match wits and courage with the five-colored crocodile before him.

Thanks to this period, Su Sheng often acted as a fisherman in his spare time, and besides, he had become familiar with Yong Bu Kong Jun and the gang.

Su Sheng still learned a few tricks.

Otherwise, this five-colored crocodile before him might not necessarily be caught.

Furthermore, looking at the situation, some high-end catches aren't that easy to reel in.

Equipment and attributes, both are indispensable!

A subpar fishing rod would probably snap right away. If it were another fisherman, they'd definitely be dragged into the water by this five-colored crocodile…
