In recent years, these fish species seem to have evolved intelligence and simply won't take the hook, and the joy of fishing has plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I thought of getting my fix in a virtual game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky me, I grabbed the second round of purchase qualifications released for Dark Land and was able to enter the Monster World to experience the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my fishing attempts after first entering the game were not smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first hurdle was the lack of combat level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakest monster in the Monster World is stronger than my main human form, and the strength of aquatic creatures cannot be fished ashore without a strong physique; you'll just be dragged into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To solve this problem, I chose to follow guild friends to hunt and level up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until today, my gargoyle level reached level 12, and I finally decided to start my fishing operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having solved the problem of insufficient strength, let's get to the point and explain in detail how to fish in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The in-game mall has no fishing gear for sale, so if you want to fish, you have to craft the gear yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a week of research, I have built a set of simple fishing tools for everyone's reference. If you have better suggestions, feel free to post them in the thread, and I will reply when I see them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following is my 1.0 version fishing gear construction idea:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the fishing line, I chose to weave and rub the silk thread spat out by Iron Shell Bugs; practical testing shows the strength is very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the fishing rod, I chose bamboo from the bamboo forest next to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range-Spirit Tool Valley; it has great resilience and is very suitable for novice fishing. In the future, I will consider switching to spirit plant wood with better strength, but I haven't found suitable materials at this stage (map coordinate location marked).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hook was made by taking a broken weapon found in the Ancient Battlefield area and tapping it bit by bit with an axe (it exhausted me). The strength can reach equipment quality level 3, which is enough for fishing (at least it's enough for the location where I fish, as the aquatic life there doesn't have a high hunting level).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the float, I used reeds growing near Turtle Back Lake. The reeds here have a light texture and a certain buoyancy, making them ideal materials for making floats. Players who want to try can choose hollow reeds of moderate thickness and appropriate length to use as floats; they are very easy to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For bait, I chose to mix canned food purchased from the mall with water and knead it. I am considering mixing fish meat with canned food, but the cost is relatively high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding fishing locations, there are currently two locations where fishing is clearly possible: Wind Wave Pool northwest of the Ancient Battlefield (attached: map coordinates), and Turtle Back Lake on the map (attached: coordinates). Both locations have aquatic creatures that can be fished. As for how many types of underwater creatures are in these two waters, I will post a detailed guide after I get familiar with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After talking about the fishing gear construction guide, I will attach the video of my successful fishing and screenshots of the fishing results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Attached: Recorded video)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Attached: Screenshot of Red-Scaled Fish analysis information)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Attached: Screenshot of Red-Scaled Fish meat analysis information)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, one last thing: the fish meat is truly delicious... as long as you've tasted it, I guarantee you'll never forget it. My mind is full of the taste of the fish meat right now. I'll catch another one in a moment and try what grilled fish tastes like (Happy.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, fishing can not only gain sacrificial power but also gain Body Tempering experience, and killing the aquatic creatures fished up can also gain evolution points to improve the monster level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While writing this guide post, I am already imagining the scene of fishing for hundred-meter giants or even stronger aquatic creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my view, the fishing gameplay is too interesting, and there is more room for expansion in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the aquatic creatures in the Monster World are strange and varied. Besides fish life, there are various underwater monsters. Every time I fish, the anticipation is maxed out. I am considering making an underwater creature illustrated guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a game style discovered by a fisherman by accident, and I'm sharing it with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guide post published by Wu Quan rose in popularity on the forum at an astonishing speed and was soon pinned to the top of the forum's 24-hour popularity list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is exactly the result Wu Quan wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guide post he published on the forum was to attract more players to join the fishing gameplay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when writing this guide post, he explained it in great detail, focusing on the gains brought by fishing and the taste experience of the fish meat that exceeded imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the post was published on the forum, it attracted a large number of players to participate in the discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night is Coming: As expected of a super-freedom game world, any gameplay can appear. The appearance of arms dealers was already outrageous in my opinion, and now a professional fisherman has appeared. I dare not imagine what strange growth schools will appear in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is This a Beaver: Buddy, you're really awesome. You hand-crafted a set of fishing gear. Dark Land selling it to you for 128,888 is a loss. In a world with ultra-high freedom, you're really playing it as a free world... Seeing you describe the taste of the fish meat in the post makes me want to eat it so much. Are you interested in selling me one? The canned food in the game is tasteless after eating too much. As a foodie, I'm looking forward to the food in the game. I had thought about getting some spirit plants to taste before, and your description gave me new expectations. If you're interested, you can private message me; I can buy the fish meat with cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Class-Cute Baby: Although I'm not interested in fishing, I can be sure that your guide post will attract quite a few players to join the ranks of the fishing party. I even imagined a very magical scene: a super muscular hunk standing on the bottomless sea, fishing for a sea beast giant with a body length of thousands of meters, and then engaging in a passionate fight after pulling it up. Theoretically, if you want to fish for powerful aquatic creatures, you must have stronger power as a foundation, otherwise, who is fishing whom is not necessarily certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Game Brick-Moving Party: It's broken. You obviously didn't realize the impact of your guide post. You mentioned in the post that the fishing line is made from the silk of an Iron Shell Bug. I had a lot of this stuff before and sacrificed it all to Emperor Zhao. Next, the price of this kind of material is estimated to usher in a wave of skyrocketing prices. Hamster-party players are going to be ecstatic. I've suffered heavy losses (God of Wealth blushing.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shield Sword Power: Hahaha, thanks for the guide post, brother. Although I still prefer the gameplay of hunting monsters, I am also very interested in fishing. Like you, I am a fisherman in reality. I have collected your guide post. I will go fishing when I want to relax in the future. I look forward to the fish meat taste you described. Also, let me ask, what is your fishing method?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cast a Line (OP) replies to Shield Sword Power: Ordinary rod fishing. If you are interested, you can develop other fishing methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shield Sword Power replies to Cast a Line: Is it okay to use spirit energy bombs to bomb fish (smirk).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fishing Alone Through the Ages: Thanks for the guide post, brother. It is precisely because of selfless players like you that we newbies can learn and progress. I have decided to follow in your footsteps and become a fishing party player. I'll start making fishing gear now, let's go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cat Seeking Food: This is why I like browsing the forum; I can always find all kinds of novel gameplay. I admire your imagination. While playing the game, I play the normal mode, and you play the innovative mode. I look forward to the growth and development of this school. As a hamster party member, I only love collecting all kinds of strange things. Also, I have a lot of Iron Shell Bug silk stored in my spatial inventory, and I haven't been willing to sell it, hehe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guide post published by Wu Quan continued to rise in popularity on the forum, attracting a large number of players who like fishing to participate in the discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that one can also grow through fishing in the Monster World, they left messages in the post one after another to ask how to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Wu Quan continued to fish while patiently replying to the posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, some players also put forward opinions on the choice of fishing rod materials, stating that they had seen better plants that could serve as fishing rod materials when exploring the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent influence of the post exceeded Wu Quan's imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to be affected was the market price of \"Iron Shell Bug Silk,\" which ushered in a rapid surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players, after reading the guide post, made fishing gear according to the ideas provided by Wu Quan, among which the production of fishing lines requires the use of Iron Shell Bug silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This low-level material, which the vast majority of players decisively sacrificed to Emperor Zhao after obtaining it in the early stages, ushered in a skyrocketing price due to the appearance of the fishing school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there are not many players with inventory on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Iron Shell Bugs in the Gloomy Cave have been slaughtered, and there is no channel to obtain them. Every portion of silk consumed is one less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few \"hamster-party players\" who love hoarding goods have this kind of resource on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the players who sacrificed Iron Shell Bug silk in the early stages beat their chests and stomp their feet, only lamenting why they chose to sacrifice it back then. If they had kept it until today, the profit would have at least increased tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least until a new substitute for fishing line is found, the price of Iron Shell Bug silk will continue to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the first time players have discovered that materials produced after a monster's death have other uses besides sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave many players the idea of hoarding materials; perhaps materials that are inconspicuous at this stage will find new uses one day in the future, and the price will skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to the fishing gameplay, the most discussed content in the post was the curiosity of a large number of onlookers about the taste of the fish meat. Many players asked to buy fish meat at a high price in the post, wanting to taste it themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also allowed many brick-moving players to see business opportunities for making money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wu Quan expected, his guide post successfully opened up a brand-new gameplay school for the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this school is still in its early stages and no player can provide professional advice, it can be foreseen that in the future, under the brainstorming of the vast number of fishing party players, the fishing gameplay will usher in round after round of gameplay upgrades, especially in the upgrade of fishing equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the popularity continued to rise, a large number of players poured into Wu Quan's live broadcast room, and the number of people in the live broadcast room, which was originally 0, surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Wu Quan caught an aquatic creature with a hunting level of 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its shape was like a combination of a fish and a turtle, with a shell on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The analysis information shows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Turtle Ray (Monster)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 3\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster Introduction: A relatively common low-level aquatic creature in the Pale Continent-Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region. It is an omnivorous animal with a wide range of food sources. It will search for prey in the water with a keen sense of smell, but usually feeds on aquatic plants and algae. It likes to inhabit the depths of lakes and prefers dark and quiet waters. During the day, Turtle Rays often hide in underwater caves or rock crevices, using their camouflage ability to blend into the surrounding environment to avoid predation by natural enemies, and often come out to forage at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Turtle Ray's shape was strange, Wu Quan still chose to decompose it into meat after killing it, and in front of the onlookers in the live broadcast room, he skewered the meat strips with a wooden stick and grilled them on the torch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grilled fish meat had an enticing golden yellow skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the onlookers couldn't smell the fragrance from across the screen, the sizzling fish meat still made their appetites open wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the spot, players sent barrage messages asking to buy a piece of fish meat to taste the flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Wu Quan ignored them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of the onlookers in the live broadcast room, Wu Quan ate in big mouthfuls and commented on the taste of the fish meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Wu Quan was once again conquered by the taste of the fish meat attached with spiritual particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the fish meat was made in a simple way, just grilled over a fire, without a complex production process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the inside of the fish meat maintained the original tenderness and juiciness, and all the freshness and flavor were locked in by the perfect heat. Every bite felt the crispness and slight charred fragrance of the fish skin, followed by the delicacy and sweetness of the fish meat. The indescribable deliciousness danced on the tip of the tongue, bringing endless satisfaction and joy to the taste buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating the grilled fish meat in a few bites, Wu Quan gave a thumbs up to the live broadcast camera (guidance avatar):\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too delicious, it is definitely an enjoyment that cannot be experienced in reality. You must try it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Source Altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng naturally saw the guide post published by Wu Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is exactly the result he wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like hunting monsters, whether the aquatic creatures caught by players through fishing are decomposed into food or killed to gain evolution points and sacrificial power feedback, he can extract 30% of the gains from them. In essence, fishing is hunting with a changed mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no loss in his gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The important thing is that the birth of the fishing school has expanded a brand-new field for accommodating source monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Zhao self-decomposed and created a huge number of source monsters. In addition to those walking on the ground and flying in the sky, there are a huge number of source monsters hidden in the major waters of the Monster World, and even the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with the source monsters on land, the search difficulty for underwater source monsters is higher, and at this stage, there is no source monster soul that can provide underwater combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of fishing party players undoubtedly filled the gap in accommodating underwater source monsters and brought about the expansion of a new field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This only brings benefits to the development of the player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the development and use of fish meat will also involve the sub-profession mode he is considering launching in the future, which is to obtain growth attributes by making spiritual food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qi Sheng's vision, the player legion, in addition to possessing powerful combat power, also needs a large number of functional auxiliary players to specialize in innovation and development in other fields, providing side growth assistance to the player legion.\u003C\u002Fp>",2790,"2026-06-17T18:40:33.513Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3e6667c9bb9beaf8df2d1bf6f7c34f7bdf63acc011b95f150d148447aa08452a","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-60","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-58",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
