Chapter 697: Chapter 494 Si Xue: Sewer fool, you’re even dumber than the sewer_2

Si Xue said irritably.

"I totally feel you."

"Feel your head. Sit tight, if you start acting up again, I’ll have you go work in the customer service department."

Si Xue rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Boss, I was wrong."

Liu Zheng quickly surrendered and made a zipper motion across his mouth.

Si Xue ignored his antics and twisted her hair into a strand, connecting it to the tip of the Jade Fishing Rod.

The black hair instantly fused and extended, turning into a long thin line.

"Still missing a hook. Where’s your boning knife?"

Si Xue asked again.

"Right here."

Liu Zheng respectfully presented it.

Si Xue held the boning knife, and the blade soon melted into a pool of metal, making Liu Zheng’s heart ache.

Although he hadn’t used the boning knife much since getting the Slaughter Knife, it was his first excellent piece of equipment and highly practical, with both memorial and utility value.

"Don’t worry, you won’t lose out."

Si Xue said as she tied the solidified hook to the fishing line.

"Done."

She swung the rod, the silver hook slicing through the air and plunged into Treasure Lake.

The black fishing line continued to extend, seemingly inexhaustible, drilling deep into the lake.

"Rise!"

Si Xue shouted.

The Jade Fishing Rod arced high, the black fishing line quickly retracted, causing the lake water to churn violently.

"Roar!"

A dragon head the size of a locomotive emerged from the water, with a camel-like head, rabbit eyes, bull ears, and snake neck, a mane majestic like a lion’s, with two long whiskers moving on their own.

But Liu Zheng noticed it lacked dragon horns.

"What’s a dragon without horns called again?"

As he pondered, the entire dragon was pulled out of the water, rapidly shrinking into a white dragon-shaped jade talisman.

Si Xue grasped the jade talisman in her hand and then cast the rod three times consecutively.

Clawless dragon, unicorn dragon, coiled dragon—three more dragons were fished out, turning into jade talismans that landed in her palm.

"Lake God, why’s there still one missing?"

Si Xue asked, frowning.

"The others were eaten last time by Peacock, remember?"

The lake water solidified into a transparent humanoid and said.

"That pesky hen again, she can eat anything, doesn’t even fear constipation."

Si Xue cursed.

These dragon-shaped jade talismans were made from dragon materials and nurtured with spirit in Treasure Lake, they could be considered True Dragons.

But treasures aren’t living beings, and cooked into dishes they can’t taste that great.

Peacock was likely more interested in making Si Xue feel nauseous rather than the actual taste.

As for the four dragons within the Obsidian Pillar, they were Si Xue’s personal assets, usable only with her permission.

The Lake God didn’t respond, instead dissolving back into the lake.

Si Xue had free rein to insult Peacock, but the Lake God couldn’t do the same.

What if one day Peacock becomes a restaurant owner?

Although the chances of this happening are nearly zero, with its nearly infinite lifespan, anything not exactly zero is bound to occur.

"You’ll have to handle the last dragon yourself."

Si Xue said to Liu Zheng.

"Huh? Me?!"

He looked shocked.

Even Si Xue had to do things like bleed and pluck hair to fish dragons, expending one perfect and one excellent item of his; how could he possibly manage it himself?

"Why panic? That Nine Dragons Coffin was made of nine dead dragons to begin with; get a dragon egg or a young dragon to eat them, and it’ll naturally grow into an adult dragon."

Si Xue explained.

"Dragon eggs and young dragons aren’t easy to come by, right?"

Liu Zheng was not going to be tricked by her.

If they had such things in the kitchen, Si Xue would’ve sent him there directly.

Items the kitchen couldn’t stock are obviously not easily obtained.

"If it were easy, why would I need you? Such a huge benefit, you thought it’d be that easy for you to profit from?"

Si Xue casted a stern glance at him.

An opportunity to sell favors to big shots like the President of the Writers Association is rare, especially when it’s a matter of real interest rather than petty gains or items.

The more Si Xue provided, the greater the assistance she’d receive.

If she had enough dragons, she’d prefer supplying all nine herself.

"Alright, I’ll figure something out."

Si Xue had spoken, so Liu Zheng had to agree.

He recalled the shop where Niu Daji had gone to buy dragon dung, which might have clues.

"And those dragons?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Wait until you’ve got the Nine Dragons Coffin and the last dragon before retrieving them, you can’t manage or guard them now."

Si Xue replied.

"Okay, boss."

He felt a bit disappointed inside.

These four dragon-shaped jade talismans were at least perfect quality, and those four live dragons would be even higher.

If he received them and settled the instance, he’d be flying high instantly.

With such a snowball effect, he could breeze through future instances.

Although Liu Zheng rarely used hacks while gaming, in reality the more the merrier.

"This one is yours."

Si Xue tossed him the Jade Fishing Rod.

Liu Zheng accepted the rod, and a pop-up appeared describing the item.

"Name: Damaged Dragon Fishing Pole"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect One: Player receives ’Dragon Power’ status."

"Effect Two: During battles with Dragons, all attributes +20, damage increased by 20%."

"Effect Three: Player gains ’Universe’s Cast’ skill, upon use, the item is permanently damaged."

"Note: Born from the same egg, why fish so eagerly?"

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Dragon Power: Player receives the dragon’s intimidation aura, reducing the attributes of creatures under Dragon Power’s suppression by 15%, additionally reducing the attributes of Dragon Descendants or those viewing Dragons as enemies by 10%."

"Universe’s Cast: When used, the hook is guaranteed to hit the target, and player and target undergo a luck contest; the loser will be immobilized, and the strength and duration of the immobilization is positively related to the luck attribute difference."

"Awesome!"

Liu Zheng mentally gave a thumbs up.

No wonder it was made from multiple items plus Si Xue’s material; the effects are truly extraordinary.

Effect One alone was already incredible, and Effect Three was even better.

Guaranteed to hit and control, coupled with items boosting luck attributes, whoever it hooks is bound to feel pain!

He also recalled the last fishing competition with Sea Girl, had he used this rod, he wouldn’t have just fished out the sewer’s eggs.

Yet...

"Why is it damaged?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Wasn’t it made using indestructible beer bottle as the base material?

"You thought it was really fishing? If it weren’t for the beer bottle you provided, this Dragon Fishing Pole would’ve shattered like ground pepper by now."

Si Xue said displeased.

This subordinate is fine in every way except too weak and with too little insight to appreciate the cleverness of my recent moves.

If Niu Ma were here, he would’ve grabbed the key points and lavished praise.

Clearly, complimenting and working alike require both hard and soft skills to be top-notch.

"Can it be repaired?"

Liu Zheng asked, distressed.

Such a good item, if it’s ruined after one use, that’s too wasteful.

"This was something I casually crafted, don’t even mention repairing it, creating another identical one is impossible. You’ll have to find another way yourself."

Si Xue shook her head and said.

"Alright then. Thanks, boss."

He watched it for a while, couldn’t find the damaged part, and stored the Dragon Fishing Pole in the system space.

Liu Zheng decided to give Pond Master a call later, and if Pond Master couldn’t repair it, he’d ask Fisherman.

"You may leave now."

Si Xue said to the lake’s surface.

As soon as she finished speaking, strands of cold air rose from the lake, quickly forming thick ice chunks, transforming the cavern into an icy world.

Si Xue grabbed Liu Zheng by the scruff, stepped upward, forming steps of ice and snow beneath her feet.

As she sat on the dragon chair, an icy mountain had already grown beneath her.

"Tell me, what did you all talk about at the Fool’s house?"

Si Xue flew to the platinum throne, placing Liu Zheng at her feet, and asked calmly.
