Chapter 1241: Not Enough Time, So We'll Fish

Time!

The difficulty everyone faces right now is just one…

It's the game time.

When Su Sheng arrived, the game time was just over seven hours left. After tweaking the battle plan, the game time was down to a little over six hours.

Given the current battle situation, it's uncertain whether the remaining six hours can defeat this BOSS.

Su Sheng kept a Defensive Stance while voicing his concerns in the party channel.

There's no choice; although Su Sheng can hold on, the pressure is high, and only by staying in Defensive Stance can he truly maximize damage absorption, otherwise the rear Healing Technique would fall behind.

…No choice, the problem lies with the Falling Demon Body; although their skill is not weak, it's their first time teaming with Su Sheng, so they often miss the healing timing—sometimes the Healing Technique is cast before the Falling Demon Body is cancelled.

But if the Falling Demon Body isn't activated, Su Sheng can't hold his ground, so he must stay in Defensive Stance.

A group of Mao Xiong players stared at Su Sheng's issue, exchanged glances, and fell into contemplation.

And Ai Chi Baicai also stopped attacking, furrowed his brow, and began calculating.

Estimating about a minute, Ai Chi Baicai grew discouraged…

"Everyone stop, withdraw from the combat zone!"

All present were experts, each harboring doubts; though some were reluctant, they still ceased attacking and created distance.

Su Sheng was the last; after everyone else retreated, he commanded the lion mount to use the Shock Thrust skill, soaring into the sky and exiting the hate range.

The Snow Giant BOSS, after leaving the hate range, wandered around once and returned to its original spot.

Su Sheng guided the lion mount to land in front of Ai Chi Baicai's group.

"We're out of time today," Ai Chi Baicai said, a bit dispirited.

"No problem, it's not a big deal; tomorrow's opening will be the same," Su Sheng said with a smile.

The BOSS they're targeting is a level‑90 pseudo‑Lord BOSS, certainly not that easy.

Ai Chi Baicai nodded: "That's the only way. Roughly calculated, at our current DPS pace, even without any other issues, we'd need ten hours."

"Including the Health Axis and the Rage Axis, budgeting an extra hour, we need eleven hours of combat time."

Ai Chi Baicai said.

"Alright, then log in tomorrow and start the BOSS directly. There's still a bit of time left today; you can go over to us for another Dungeon." Su Sheng wasn't really disappointed.

"What about you, Mo Wen the Great? Even if you rush over tomorrow, it'll be too late, right? With only these few hours left, even if you hurry back…"

Ai Chi Baicai didn't finish speaking, stopped, then gave Su Sheng a strange look.

Because… Su Sheng, right in front of him, pulled out a set of gear exclusive to anglers.

"Hehe, with nothing to do, killing the nearby mobs doesn't give much XP; I could consider fishing," Su Sheng said, pointing to a snow‑mountain peak nearby.

Anyway, time's short; idle hands are better spent fishing.

"Where… can we fish?" Ai Chi Baicai asked, puzzled. Their Mao Xiong Server does have fishing players, but only on certain maps.

Because most maps on the Mao Xiong Server are icy tundras, only a tiny fraction of towns and one Main City aren't ice‑snow maps.

The remaining areas, including Huangcheng, are all ice‑snow maps.

Ice‑snow maps virtually lack water; even where water exists, it's frozen.

Thus, fishing there is clearly unrealistic.

"Don't worry, there's water up there," Su Sheng chuckled, "as for how I saw it…"

Naturally, when the lion mount flies in the sky, it sees…

When returning, Su Sheng constantly alternated the lion's Flap Wings and Leap to travel, soaring, naturally spotting more things.

Perhaps, during this period Su Sheng has fished often, showing a trend toward becoming an angler, so while flying, he would consciously or unconsciously notice certain "fishing spots."

Especially after catching that crimson stone bass last time, which also granted extra stats.

Originally, fishing was just a casual pastime for Su Sheng, but now he's taken it more seriously.

At the same time, that day Su Sheng posted a purchase notice on the game forum.

Whether it's crimson stone bass or River‑Crossing Dragon Carp, Su Sheng's listed price was a ten‑percent premium over the shop for all red and colored fish goods.

…

Su Sheng didn't expect that this "passive skill" would actually come in handy this time.

"That'll do… "

"Then Mo Wen the Great, good luck." Ai Chi Baicai had nothing more to say.

Afterward, Su Sheng waved to the Mao Xiong players, mounted the lion and immediately used Leap, leaping toward that direction and then sprinting.

He had just used the Wing Flap Skill and hadn't recovered, otherwise he could have flown up directly.

But the distance…

Running up the mountain would be a dead end; ultimately it seems flying is necessary.

Ai Chi Baicai cast a complicated glance at Su Sheng's back, then turned to assign the over‑100 players beneath his command.

He left two assassin players to watch the BOSS here, while the others used Return City Scrolls to retreat and then, via the National Battle Map, headed to a Dungeon under Huaxia Huangcheng.

…

After the Wing Flap Skill's cooldown recovered, Su Sheng used it outright.

The lion mount carried Su Sheng straight toward the summit of that snow mountain…

That spot hosts a celestial pool whose water isn't frozen, which is why Su Sheng thought to come fish there.

There are still six hours of game time left; he can fish to his heart's content.

However, Su Sheng rubbed his chin.

Should he consider quitting his job and go fishing in reality?

Anyway, idling is just idling.

But Su Sheng only thought about it and gave up the idea; even if he really wanted to go fishing, now isn't the time.

After all, right now those rats in the shadows aren't honest.

If I run around recklessly, it would only add unnecessary pressure on Xuan Yu Wu and the others.

Forget it, I'll just stay put honestly.

So, Su Sheng began fishing.

Su Sheng, over here, was peacefully fishing.

The two assassins left by the Vegetable Eating Guild were bored on one side, you look at me, I look at you.

"How about we go over there and see if Mo Wen the Great is fishing?"

"Isn't that not a good idea? We have to keep an eye on this BOSS."

"From that spot we can also see what's happening below."

"Uh… seems so."

"Anyway, idling is idling, let's go."

"Alright, let's go take a look."

"Let's cancel stealth first; otherwise causing a misunderstanding would be bad."

"Right."

So the two assassins didn't use stealth and walked toward Su Sheng's location.

Anyway, there are no monsters along the way, but approaching stealthily can indeed cause misunderstandings…
