Chapter 871: Fishing Competition

That's exactly why Wu Long took the chance to come over and cast two lines when he had free time.

But so far, the catch has been rather ordinary.

"Hahaha, brothers, I'm not talented, but I've built a guild—one cast opens the heavenly gate!"

"Our guild only accepts fishing enthusiasts!"

"We don't get involved in any game grudges; we just want to provide a platform for everyone to share fishing experiences."

Meanwhile, Yong Bu Kong Jun in the group began promoting his guild.

Su Sheng saw this and couldn't help chuckling; this guy really loves fishing.

At that moment, Wu Long looked at the red fish in Yong Bu Kong Jun's hand and smacked his lips…

If this thing were used for cooking~

Tsk…

Even if sold directly to the system's NPC shop, a catch of this grade would fetch a recycling price close to one million.

If used directly for cooking without any special recipe, it would be truly extravagant.

"What, you've taken a liking to that fish?"

Su Sheng noticed Wu Long's expression and smiled slightly as he spoke.

"I just wish I could catch one myself…" Wu Long said; being a cook, he naturally wanted good ingredients.

Wu Long is the type who loves whatever he does and focuses on it; that's why, back in the Assassin Alliance, his skill reached the level of Chief of the Ten Halls Yanluo.

Now that he's a cook, he focuses on a cook's passions.

Just then, he saw Su Sheng walk straight over.

Wu Long froze…

But Su Sheng had already walked over.

"How about selling it to me?"

Yong Bu Kong Jun was still bragging to a group of fishers and recruiting them into his guild.

Suddenly a voice came…

Everyone froze, then turned to look.

"Holy crap! Mo Wen, the great god!"

"He even drew Mo Wen the great god over for a single red fish?!"

Yong Bu Kong Jun's eyes lit up as well: "Mo Wen, the great god."

"What do you mean?" Su Sheng asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, my fishing rod still owes you a favor."

"Originally I planned to put it on display in my guild's warehouse, but since you, Mo Wen the great god, need it, there's no problem."

Yong Bu Kong Jun agreed; from previous contact he knew that, in reality, Yong Bu Kong Jun shouldn't be short of money.

If this red-grade catch were any other fisher, they'd probably have thought of selling it already, but Yong Bu Kong Jun wanted to keep it as a trophy to display.

"Name your price." Su Sheng continued.

The surrounding fishers all watched excitedly.

Although most of them are just plain fishers, not pure gamers, the name Mo Wen Qianchen is too big.

He's the number one player in the game.

Moreover, since it's about trading a red fish, they're naturally excited.

Even many have started daydreaming about catching a red fish themselves…

"I checked; the recycling price for this fish is 880,000 gold coins."

"To thank you, Mo Wen the great god, for your previous help, can you just give the original price?"

"Furthermore, this red fish was caught in the Yan Huang base."

"Also, as thanks for giving us these fishers such an excellent fishing spot, I'll knock off a zero for luck—make it 800,000."

Yong Bu Kong Jun said.

"Wow, Yong Bu Kong Jun the big shot is generous—just a wave of his hand and he knocked off 80,000 gold coins."

"Still, it's fairly reasonable, after all Mo Wen the big shot indeed didn't charge us a berth fee."

"But this favor is owed by all of us fishers; it's not right for Yong Bu Kong Jun the big shot to bear it alone."

The other fishers around murmured, yet they relatively approved of this.

After all, if it were anyone else, the base's fishing spots would definitely charge a fee.

To be honest, Su Sheng now really looks down on charging for fishing spots—such petty gains.

Forget it; it's not a lot of money either way—neither much nor little.

If the price were too high, the fishers wouldn't be stupid; nobody would come.

Better yet, just let them fish for free as a good deed and to build rapport with these fishers… The main point is, while they fish for free, the teleport array still charges a fee.

Come on, you can't keep wanting more and more.

Moreover… the problem comes.

Su Sheng wasn't polite either: "Fine, gold coins or cash?"

"Gold coins, then—if I took cash I'd have to pay tax; I'll take gold coins directly and prepare to hold a fishing competition!"

"I'll use this sum as the prize money!"

Yong Bu Kong Jun laughed: "In-game gold coin trades aren't taxed, but once you cash out, you need to pay tax."

"A fishing competition?" Su Sheng's interest piqued upon hearing that.

"Ha ha, I've had this idea for a long time. I'm a simple person, have no real hobbies, I just like fishing."

"I've founded a guild; since it gathers fishermen, let's give them some benefits," Yong Bu Kong Jun said with a laugh.

"Oh? Only guild members can participate?" Su Sheng asked.

"That's the current plan. But if Mo Wen the Great is interested, I can make you a special guest directly," Yong Bu Kong Jun was clearly very good at dealing with people.

"Sure, ha ha, but I won't compete with you fishermen over the prize; I'm just after the fun," Su Sheng said with a smile.

"No problem. Later I'll plan a preliminary round; how about setting the finals at a fishing spot in Yan Huang Base?" Yong Bu Kong Jun said.

"No problem, you're most welcome," Su Sheng grinned.

"However, I have a condition."

"Mo Wen, you speak."

"That is, all the fish caught in the competition should be sold to our Yan Huang at market price," Su Sheng said, knowing Wu Long was gathering fish as ingredients; that meant there was already a ready pool of fishermen.

"No problem!" Yong Bu Kong Jun still wondered why he had to say it.

"Once preparations are done, let me know the exact date; if I'm free, I'll definitely join."

Su Sheng said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Yong Bu Kong Jun answered happily.

The transaction was completed quickly.

Su Sheng traded that one Red Fish to Wu Long.

"Brother Sheng... this?"

Wu Long looked a bit stunned.

This was a fish purchase worth 800,000.

Even if you tossed it to an NPC shop, you'd still net 80,000.

Just handed it to yourself like that?

"I have no use for it," Su Sheng spread his hands.

"And if you want to collect fish, after the fishing tournament, make sure you have a few decent recipes."

"When we know exactly which fish we need, we can cooperate directly with Yong Bu Kong Jun's fishing guild and purchase them there on a long-term basis," Su Sheng patted Wu Long's shoulder.

Su Sheng didn't buy it outright now because Wu Long hadn't finalized the recipe yet; although they weren't short on money, waste couldn't be allowed.

"Thanks, Brother Sheng!"

Wu Long looked at the Red Fish in his backpack, feeling a bit emotional...

That was 880,000.

"Hah~... thanks for what? You're our Yan Huang Imperial Chef; the good recipes you create benefit Yan Huang as well."

Wu Long is already a senior chef; he can make many dishes that grant temporary attribute bonuses.
