Chapter 90: Ice Lion Law!
Perhaps because no fisherman has ever appeared in this lake, these supernatural spirit fish are quite simple.
After smelling the pleasant aroma, they all swam over.
After only a minute, Chen Mo felt his tail itch, as if something was gnawing at it—a fish had taken the bait!!
Chen Mo's current skin hardness and defense level are naturally not something these low-tier supernatural spirit fish can pierce.
He activated the ice spirit power within the Ice Pill, surging it all toward his tail, instantly freezing that supernatural spirit fish and the nearby lake water!
Swish! Chen Mo then flicked his tail, directly tossing the two spirit fish frozen into ice blocks onto the shore.
【Profound Ice Carp】
【Grade: Medium Supernatural】
【Overall Combat Power: 20~48】
【Delicious flavor, very suitable for soup】
【Dragon Beard Carp】
【Grade: Medium Supernatural】
【Overall Combat Power: 12~52】
【Its long whiskers help it absorb spirit power; delicious flavor, very suitable for braising】
Blue frames appeared beside both spirit fish; unexpectedly, these two spirit fish were both medium-tier supernatural beings, and both had a description of delicious flavor.
Okay, let's try it back.
Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel.
Fishing Time (2/360)
Spirit Fish Catch Count (2/20)
Indeed feasible!
Seeing the changes on the self-discipline panel, Chen Mo felt pleased, then tied fishy-smell grass to his tail again and cast the line once more.
However, this time Chen Mo fished for nearly ten minutes without a single spirit fish biting! "Sure enough, catching spirit fish is still a bit difficult."
Although the spirit fish have not awakened spiritual intelligence, they have born the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune; when a companion disappears without return, they naturally dare not approach that fragrant tail again.
In that case, we can only use Plan B.
Chen Mo directly restrained his aura and then dove straight into the lake.
Roar! In the next instant, the lord's might and ice wind roar were released simultaneously! The water surface instantly exploded with countless splashes, actually raising waves several meters high.
The Ice Lion King, unable to catch fish, chose to blast them.
Really blast the fish.
Over a hundred spirit fish were stunned by the shockwave and floated on the lake surface.
Spirit fish: "You can't afford to lose!?" Chen Mo activated ice spirit power, directly condensing a thin layer of ice on the lake surface, scooping up all these spirit fish and spirit shrimp into a large ice bucket he had prepared beforehand.
The ice bucket is ten meters long, five meters wide, roughly the size of a small pond.
Needless to say, these spirit fish are oddly shaped—some have horns on their heads, some have gleaming scales, some are covered in spikes. 【Silver Scale Fish】
【Grade: Medium Supernatural】
【Overall Combat Power: 35~89】
【Delicious flavor, scales possess decent defensive capability】
But almost every spirit fish's description mentions "delicious flavor," making Chen Mo a little hungry.
Unfortunately they're too small; given Chen Mo's current size, they'd at most be a toothpick.
Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel; the count hadn't changed, so these spirit fish naturally don't count as his catch.
But it's no big problem.
After several minutes, the spirit fish all woke up.
Afterwards they saw a huge lion face.
Chen Mo used Spiritual Ice Silkworm Silk to begin spiritual communication with the other dozen or so spirit fish.
Have them cooperate a bit, obediently take the hook. Otherwise I'll just eat them! Though the spirit fish were clueless, they roughly understood Chen Mo's meaning and all nodded.
Thus, Chen Mo began fishing directly in the ice bucket.
These spirit fish began competing to bite his tail.
Chen Mo lightly flicked his tail and ended up catching ten spirit fish in a row!
A string of spirit fish clung to its tail! Chen Mo glanced at the self-discipline panel.
Daily spirit fish catch: 15/20, the progress bar jumped straight to 75%!
"Fishing is still quite easy!"
Seeing this, Chen Mo felt pleased.
Moreover he realized a way to exploit a bug.
The 【Fishing Lion】 self-discipline challenge had no rule forbidding him from catching the same fish each day.
So these caught spirit fish can be fully reused! That way, completing the daily self-discipline challenge of catching twenty fish becomes easy.
As for the requirement to fish six hours a day, there's likewise no stipulation on the fishing location.
As long as he creates a small fish pond in the Lion King's Den, he can achieve home fishing!
Or he could be lazy and just fish with the fish placed in the ice bucket! So Chen Mo blasted another two waves of fish, then carried an ice bucket holding over a hundred spirit fish back to Lion King Mountain.
Then he put his tail into the ice bucket, reversed his internal spirit power, and began practicing 【Heaven Ice Drop】.
Fishing and cultivation proceed without conflict! ————————————
【Fishing Lion】 the next evening.
After the efforts of the Ice Lion King, the Snow Fox Leader, and Wang Long over two days, the 【Ice Lion Law】 was roughly revised.
This Ice Lion Law is completely different from human law.
First, the Ice Lion Law confirmed the kingdom's hierarchy.
The Ice Lion King is naturally the absolute ruler of the Ice Lion Kingdom, possessing the greatest rights.
Next are the Mountain Lords.
Chen Mo now possesses the enfeoffment ability; he plans to appoint a Mountain Lord for each snow mountain.
These Mountain Lords are directly responsible to the Ice Lion King, and within their enfeoffed snow mountains they likewise possess extremely high rights.
Then come the Vice Mountain Lords, Cave Lords, Vice Cave Lords, as well as the commoners and slaves of the Ice Lion Kingdom.
The hierarchy is not fixed; it is mainly divided according to contributions made to the Ice Lion Kingdom.
Of course, one's own transcendent level also has an influence.
Besides confirming the hierarchy, the Ice Lion Law also established the Contribution Point System and clarified the Ice Lion Kingdom Labor Act.
After the citizens of the Ice Lion Kingdom make contributions to the Ice Lion Kingdom, they will receive a certain amount of Lion King Contribution Points.
For example, after completing the sowing labor of one mu of field, one can obtain 1 contribution point.
Furthermore, by hunting down one hostile low-level transcendent ferocious beast, one will gain 2 contribution points.
If one makes a high-level transcendent ferocious beast submit to the Ice Lion Kingdom, one will gain 50 contribution points.
These contribution points can be used to purchase spiritual plants, transcendent flesh, spirit-communicating ice silkworm silk, and even divine medicines.
It can be said that this is the most important 'currency' of the Ice Lion Kingdom.
Moreover, the prerequisite for promotion to positions such as Vice Cave Lord, Cave Lord, Vice Mountain Lord, etc., is that accumulated contribution points must meet the standard! Besides these, the Ice Lion Law also issued many prohibitions.
Such as:
【Within the kingdom, living beings may not kill each other; otherwise, they will be sentenced to severe punishment and sent to mine to expend their residual heat.】
【Within the Ice Lion Kingdom's territory, all divine medicines, mineral veins, etc., are state-owned; private possession will be punished severely.】
【Within the kingdom, schools will be established; all offspring of Vice Cave Lords and above must receive three years of compulsory education within the school.】
Regarding schools and education, Chen Mo still places great importance on them.
He spent his two Junior Sharer slots to share the Teach Lion entry with two relatively intelligent Snow-Treading Foxes, letting them act as 'teachers'.
