Chapter 1236: Blood-patterned Grouper Kuai

Su Sheng also didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

One must admit, sometimes it's truly the case that intentional planting yields no flowers, while careless insertion of willow shoots yields shade.

I originally just wanted to kill some time by playing around, but I didn't expect it to directly give me a wave of surprise.

As for the previous colorful fish catches, Su Sheng could haul them up, let alone this just being a red fish, which was practically old hat for him.

In the end, amidst the strong onlookers of a group of fishing folks, this red fish was directly hauled up by Su Sheng.

Some fishing folks even abandoned their own spots and ran over to watch.

In the past, they rarely saw even orange fish catches, and anyone who caught a purple fish was already considered worth showing off.

Let alone now, with Mo Wen Qianchen himself being a hot topic, and having caught a red fish, it was natural to draw a strong crowd.

Looking at the hauled-up red fish, Su Sheng felt a bit disappointed at first glance.

It wasn't a Crossing River Dragon Carp.

But thinking about it, red fish aren't only one kind; catching a Crossing River Dragon Carp last time was pure luck, and this time catching another red fish also indicates good luck.

Red Blood Grouper (Red)

Catch.

Weight: 7.8kg

Description: Quite a rare, red fish.

Note: If you are a top chef, you can try cooking it yourself; heard that after eating it can enhance oneself, of course you can also sell it.

"Mo Wen expert, post it for everyone to see."

"Yeah yeah, let us see it."

A group of fishing folks kept clamoring one after another.

Su Sheng naturally didn't say much more, smiled, and posted the attributes of this Red Blood Grouper.

"Tsk tsk, who knows when we'll be able to catch a red fish."

"Never mind, I'll take a screenshot, post it to show off; at least I've personally seen someone catch a red fish."

"Forget red fish, just let me catch an orange fish and I'll be satisfied."

A group of fishing folks looked at Su Sheng's screenshot posted on the public screen, discussing noisily.

The vast majority of fishing folks' best luck is merely occasionally catching a purple fish.

Even some of the unluckier ones probably haven't even caught a purple fish.

However, looking at this Red Blood Grouper's panel, compared to the previous Crossing River Dragon Carp it's much lighter, and the description is different—does it have extra effects after use?

I don't know what effect it is.

Last time the recommendation for the Crossing River Dragon Carp was to sell it, but this Red Blood Grouper seems to have its first recommendation not be to sell.

I also don't know if the lion-like beast eats it.

After thinking, Su Sheng looked at the lion-like beast lying beside him.

The lion-like beast lay on the ground, its ears twitching, eyes half‑closed, obviously dozing.

It seems uninterested in this Red Blood Grouper.

Sure enough, lacking dragon aura, it's useless for it, right?

After thinking, Su Sheng opened the friend interface and found White‑Handed Azure Dragon.

"Can you cook it?"

Su Sheng directly sent the screenshot of this Red Blood Grouper over.

Not long after, Wu Long replied.

"Can!"

"If you had asked yesterday, I'd guess I still couldn't; red ingredients are best cooked by master‑level culinary skill."

"But coincidentally, today I upgraded my cooking to top‑tier chef, and with the Golden Wok Spatula I should be able to cook it."

Seeing Wu Long's message, Su Sheng laughed.

"Alright, I'm fishing at the riverbank; come over and get it, watch me have you cook it—I want to see what effect it has."

Su Sheng was in great spirits.

"Okay, coming right away."

Wu Long replied.

Su Sheng stored the fish and began fishing again.

The other fishing folks also returned to their spots; even though little game time remained, everyone was very eager.

After all, having personally seen someone else haul in a big catch, the surrounding fishing folks definitely got fired up.

Not long after, Wu Long came over.

Su Sheng immediately traded the Red Blood Grouper to Wu Long.

"Then I'll go process it first, then combine it with some other materials to see what I can cook; I happen to have a few good ingredients on hand."

Wu Long said with a smile, although this time he entered the game merely as a life profession, not participating in the power struggle.

But facing his old band of brothers, being able to help them logistically, Wu Long was also very willing.

"Alright, you handle it."

Su Sheng grinned.

After Wu Long left, Su Sheng continued fishing.

"Hey, Mo Wen expert, are you planning to cook that fish?"

At that moment, a fishing buddy sitting next to Su Sheng's spot asked.

Hmm, let's try… Didn't he say that? Consuming it can strengthen oneself, right? I want to see what effect it has.

Su Sheng didn't hide anything; these anglers are basically professional anglers, with hardly any being combat players.

It still has to be you, Great God Mo Wen. That angler silently gave a thumbs up.

He still wanted to say something, but at that moment his float moved.

Immediately, that angler didn't bother with anything else and immediately started reeling in.

Soon, that angler pulled up his catch; Su Sheng glanced at it—a green fish.

That angler was obviously a bit dissatisfied, pursed his lips, and put the fish away.

Actually, if he had managed to catch a green fish before, he would have been quite happy, after all he wasn't using high-grade bait; usually seven out of ten catches were white fish.

Being able to catch a green fish already counted as a haul for him.

But Su Sheng had just caught a red fish beside him; the comparison naturally left him dissatisfied.

This—

Su Sheng then pulled up a purple fish.

……

The angler beside him glanced at it, then silently closed his mouth and said nothing more.

Strike~

…

There's not much game time left.

Su Sheng still thought that results from Wu Long's side wouldn't come until tomorrow.

I didn't expect that before the logout prompt even appeared, Wu Long's side sent me a screenshot.

Su Sheng opened it and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Blood-patterned Grouper Sashimi (Red)

After consumption, permanently increases HP limit by 1000.

Consumption level: 70

Chef: White-Handed Azure Dragon

Consumption limit: 5

Description: A delicacy prepared by a top chef using top-grade ingredients, which has unexpected effects after consumption.

Tsk…

Perhaps this is the effect of top-grade ingredients.

Although, it only increased by 1000 points.

But this is a permanent increase; later on, it won't be so easy to increase attributes, at which point the value of these high-grade ingredients will be shown.

Tsk…

No matter what, this is a good thing.

Indeed, these high-grade ingredients are not so easy to obtain.

Of course, ingredients are not limited to fish goods.

Many wild monsters or bosses, and even some resource points in the wilderness, can yield special ingredients.

Earlier, Wu Long had told me about something: someone, while in the Main City, had picked a three-colored Divine Artifact-grade mushroom ingredient.

Of course, ingredients of Divine Artifact grade probably require a grandmaster-level chef to cook.
