Chapter 221: Chapter 213: The Thunder Light Fish that Can Gather Lightning

After putting on the fisherman’s hat, Han Qiwu took a deep breath.

Cast the hook.

Just in case, Han Qiwu purposely cast the hook seven grids away.

"Whoosh"

The fishhook, along with the bait, quickly landed on the river’s surface.

What he didn’t expect was that as soon as the bait hit the electrified river surface, it instantly got charred and vanished into a wisp of smoke.

Han Qiwu: "...."

Is there such a trick?

Can you still catch fish in this situation?

Relying on his greatly enhanced vision, Han Qiwu strained his eyes to look below the river surface near the fishhook.

Believe it or not, he actually saw several fish covered in electric light swimming circles near the hook.

The shapes of these fish weren’t large, about four or fifty centimeters, somewhat resembling grass carp, but their mouths were a bit elongated, and their whiskers flickered with tiny sparks as they moved.

As they swam, they trailed a path of electric light.

So damn cool!

Seeing this, Han Qiwu swiftly gave the fishing rod a gentle tug, remotely controlling the hook to move.

Many fish like moving targets.

At that moment, a young fish closest to the hook finally couldn’t resist and took a bite of the hook.

"Hey, you young thing, rash little fish."

Han Qiwu smiled slightly, no wonder the other fish nearby were so big.

The smaller ones didn’t last long.

Subsequently, Han Qiwu successfully entered the fishing game.

What’s different from before is that this time as soon as he entered the game, he saw a prompt line.

[Electrofish: Trajectory is a charge type, skill effect paralyzes the float for 1-3 seconds]

Alright.

The intermediate fish compendium effect is indeed different; it even provides an introduction when encountering fish.

Charge type?

This intermediate fish compendium can even help with classification?

Han Qiwu secretly noted down these three words and prepared to observe the Electrofish’s movement trajectory later, to deduce the meaning of the charge type.

"If there’s time on the way back, I’ll fish again by the sea, trying to summarize the common movement patterns of fish."

Returning to his thoughts, Han Qiwu began to focus his attention on the Electrofish.

"Whoosh"

"Swish"

After fishing for a few seconds, Han Qiwu noticed a hidden change in the fishing game.

Something’s moving.

Originally, playing the game felt like watching a silent film; you could only see shapes and movements, while in your ear was only the background sound of waves from the game.

But now it’s different, the slight movement and fierce charge of the Electrofish are accompanied by different sounds.

"Nice, the gaming experience has also been upgraded." Han Qiwu felt delighted inside, now he was even more looking forward to the effects of other skills upgrading, if they could be as good as the fishing level upgrade, it would be awesome.

The Electrofish icon wasn’t large, about the length of a float of 5.

While Han Qiwu’s float length currently had reached 11, with 5 points added by the Red Sun, 5 points his own fishing level, and 1 point from the additional level of the fisherman’s hat.

Two minutes later, the fishing progress bar was about to be full.

The reason it took so long was that the Electrofish’s charge type caused quite a bit of trouble for Han Qiwu.

Its charge amplitude wasn’t as large as other fish, but it was fast.

It would rush up for 0.3s and immediately dive for 0.5s.

The difficulty in catching it was really too high.

However, Han Qiwu already had an idea on how to deal with the Electrofish and planned to try it on the next fish.

At that moment, a surge of purple-black electric light emanated from the Electrofish and struck the float.

"Zzzzz"

[Paralyzed] appeared on the float, unable to move.

Han Qiwu was a bit amused and frustrated, before he was the one electric shocking other fish, now the tables had turned, encountering fish that could electrify.

Originally, he thought he would only have such a realization when encountering an electric eel.

Suddenly, he felt a shock on his hand.

It wasn’t very painful, kind of like touching DC power, a bit tingly.

Han Qiwu reacted quickly, laid on the ground, clamping the fishing rod with his feet, and let go of his hands.

Luckily, he wore leather shoes today, insulated ones.

"Could it be that water got on the Red Sun?" Han Qiwu wondered, otherwise, where would the electricity come from?

Before he could think more, after the paralysis time of the float passed, he hurried to reel in the Electrofish.

[Congratulations on successfully catching an Electrofish in the Two-Star Secret Realm, reaching the required number will unlock the secret store]

[Electrofish]

[Temporarily Not for Sale]

[Stamina -150]

[Health -30]

[Special Effect - Thunder Gathering: Consuming it enhances electric skills, with a small chance of learning an electric skill]

[Note: The best way to eat Electrofish is sashimi, fish bones, and head are recommended to be used for soup]

Looking at the properties of the Electrofish, Han Qiwu’s eyes lit up.

Of course, not because of being shocked but because of the Electrofish’s Thunder Gathering special effect.

If learning a new skill costs five levels, then gaining a new fishing skill requires reaching fishing skill level 10, even using Stargazing would require reaching level 6 or 7.

A bit slow.

Who knows how many days it’ll take to level up.

But now he had a second option in front of him.

Spend money, eat fish, learn skills.

Indeed, as long as you have money, everything is possible.

Grind!

He planned to eat this fish when he got back; he hadn’t brought a knife or cooking utensils.

After all, he was here to protect the magpies.

What’s the point of bringing cooking utensils?

To make a feast of magpies?

Stowing away the Electrofish, Han Qiwu put away the Red Sun and carefully examined the body of the rod.

Strange, there weren’t any water stains.

Where did the electricity come from earlier?

Han Qiwu shook his head, temporarily putting the question aside and immediately focusing on catching Electrofish again.

He was counting on them for the new skill.

And who knows, maybe Xiaodian could also learn more skills by eating Electrofish.

Charge ahead!

Swing the rod.

"Whoosh!"

The rod hit the water, landing next to a large Electrofish’s mouth.

Large Electrofish: "??? I didn’t order any takeout... wait, where’s the food in the takeout? Why’s there only cutlery?"

Enter the fishing game.

Unlike the previous young Electrofish, this large Electrofish’s icon was slightly longer, and it wasn’t polite with Han Qiwu. It immediately dropped an electric strike on the float and then swam away from it.

It seemed quite experienced.

Han Qiwu thought that bigger Electrofish are indeed different, if the progress bar doesn’t accumulate at all later, it might just escape.

Before he could devise a strategy, suddenly, he felt another electric shock.

This time he understood.

It’s not the rod conducting electricity.

It’s the fishing game that’s been upgraded.

Skills affecting the float affect him too.

"Alright, this immersive feeling just increased." Han Qiwu chuckled, it didn’t hurt, just a bit tingly, he could consider it a massage.

Once the float regained its mobility, Han Qiwu didn’t hesitate and immediately used the strategy he thought of earlier.

Guard the float and wait for the fish.

Simply put, he controlled the float to get close to the Electrofish, but didn’t close in completely.

Relying on the Electrofish’s own frenzied movements to collide with the float.

Five minutes later.

[Congratulations, you’ve caught a Silver Star Quality Electrofish]

Success!

"When fishing, don’t jump too much, sometimes jumping too much can be the end." Han Qiwu sighed, happily storing away the Silver Star quality Electrofish.

Keep fishing!

Two and a half hours later, Han Qiwu’s storage contained sixteen Electrofish.

Interestingly, for some reason, he only saw Electrofish in the river so far.

He guessed the fishing rules of the secret realm might be similar, he’d have to wait until the shop opens to buy bait for fishing.

We’ll see then.

Either way, this trip was a big win.

Not only did he get a free secret realm, but also got a four-star grade cub, and caught more than ten Electrofish.

Feeling great.

Putting things away, Han Qiwu took the warm Xiaodian from the fire bucket and placed it on his shoulder.

Hmm, nicely heated.

The timing was just right.

Let’s see if there are any roasted pigeon sales at Zhuan’s place later.

Suddenly felt like having roasted pigeon.

With eyes open, Xiaodian glanced at Han Qiwu, and exclaimed, "Trash!"

Han Qiwu: "????? Zu’an magpie?"

"Zha, Zha"

Upon seeing Han Qiwu’s expression, Xiaodian got even more excited, flapping its wings and chirping.

Han Qiwu: "... Can’t be bothered with you!"

Then he remembered, magpies only chirp "zha zha."

Walking to the large tree at the secret realm’s exit, Han Qiwu touched the lightning mark on the trunk.

A flash of white light, and he was back under the tree from before he entered.

Just like in the secret realm, there was a lightning pattern formed on this tree too.

"Looks like next time I won’t have to get struck by lightning to enter." Han Qiwu felt a bit relieved.

"Crack!"

Spring thunder boomed in the sky once more.

Han Qiwu looked up, seeing it was still raining, he hastily put on his raincoat, heading to where his electric motorcycle was.

"Zzzla!"

Suddenly, the raincoat on his right shoulder was pierced by an electric arc.

Han Qiwu: "????"

Turning around, the small hole had an especially excited Xiaodian.

"Zha, zha"

Han Qiwu sternly eyed Xiaodian, seriously saying, "Xiaodian, this is a raincoat, it shields from the rain, you can’t zap it to pieces, or you’ll get wet on the way back."

"Zzzla!"

Great, now the raincoat on the left shoulder was shot through too.

"Xiaodian!"

"Zzzla!"

The front chest of the raincoat was also punctured.

Han Qiwu: "..."

No wonder that magpie pair was so enthusiastic.

Turns out they couldn’t wait for Xiaodian to leave!

"Last chance!"

"Zzzla!"

Without saying another word, Han Qiwu pinched Xiaodian with his left hand, swiftly took off his leather shoe with the right.

With both hands, he directly stuffed Xiaodian into the shoe.

To prevent it from escaping, he tied the two shoes together with the shoelace.

Let’s see you cause trouble now!

After dealing with Xiaodian, Han Qiwu helplessly looked at his now ragged raincoat.

How can you wear this?

People might think he’s performing some sort of abstract art.

He could only take it off and put on a rain cape.

Ride back home!

Eat some fish.
