Inside the simulation, on Yu Yan's side.
"Look at this!" Yu Yan shouted, raising the hand that held a string attaching to his fishing rod, standing at the entrance of their door.
Fairly enough, it was a stick or branch found in anyone's backyard.
However, at the end of that string, was a fish the size of twice his palm!
"Not bad!" Yu-Hwang praised, looking at the fish after glancing at Yu Yan's gleaming smile, then touched his chin with his index finger and judged," This Silver Carp is about 3 meter long, with shiny eyes no less, you can go ahead and sell it at the street market for a couple of copper coins."
"Only a couple of copper coins?" It has been ten years since he buried the sword under the tree at Liuye river, ever since then, his father, Yu-Hwang has been passing down his knowledge to Yu Yan without being aware of the incident that day.
"Yan'er." His mother gently called out.
"You are eleven years old, I'm surprised you were able to make it this far." They knew their child was a tad bit special, after all, he was able to comprehend and speak so early on.
Even Yu-Hwang had to admit that his son had talent for fishing, taking him only a decade to be able to pick up the same skill that took him decades!
However, Yu Yan had differing opinion," Only a couple of copper coins?"
"Father, look at the shiny, firm flesh of the silver carp, not to mention how plump and full it feels in my hand, how can it only be a couple of copper coins!?" He slap the fish, causing its bulging eyes to bulged even further along with stomping his feet, causing creaks in the wood.
This scene made for a comical sight as Hae-Won can't help but let out a chuckle.
"Hahaha! Little Yan, you'll be lucky to sell it for more than twenty copper coins, I've been in this business for years, those old scoundrel wouldn't take the bait even if you give it to them for free!" Seeing Yu Yan's throwing a fit, Yu-Hwang jokingly waved his hand.
Hearing this, Yu Yan cursed under his breath.
The old scoundrel Yu-Hwang was referring to were the people of this village, who grew up in a poor environment, and this poor environment has made them into sly, slippery snakes that would bite at any profit to be earned!
In the end, Yu Yan slumped his shoulder, releasing the string and helplessly shook his head then walked out the same door he came from.
After closing the door, Yu Yan stood there on the empty street, facing the blazing sun.
"Damn, this sun sure is excited to shine people's face." He murmured, begrudgingly hoisting the fish on his shoulder with his fishing rod and walked down the street on his right.
After using his Yang Soul ten years ago, he sealed up his own Yang Soul and made it enter a hibernate state.
Without the ability to cultivate, nor wealth to afford to pursue martial art, he lead a leisure live as a little fisherman in Gaojia Village.
During this period of time, Yu-Hwang had taught him the art of fishing and the technical knowledge that goes along with it.
However, as hard as he tried, he realized that this system mission was too frustrating!
After learning how to fish, he would sit by the river day in and night out, hurling every single answer at the sky in an attempt to get a response from the system.
To no avail, he spent almost ten years with nothing to show!
Thump!
This cause him to stomp his feet on the hard dirt ground again.
"Kid, watch your step." A cold, mellow voice blocked his front.
Seeing that there was someone in front of him, he raised his head, staring blankly at the figure whose face was covered in a piece of cloth, only revealing his dark, black pupils.
'A martial artist?' He mused, glancing at a stick of cloth behind this young man's back, clearly carrying a weapon.
"Ah sorry!" He apologetically lowered his head.
Yu Yan was unsure as to why he felt the young man in front of him surprised by his response, however, what came next surprised him further.
"That fish in your hand, are you selling it?" He asked, pointing at the fish on his shoulder.
"Yes! Only fifty copper for this beautiful silver carp!"
What shame? What dignity?
Yu Yan was a professional salesman by day, and a scammer by night!
Hearing this, the young man reached into his pocket, which was heavy and thick as he had more than one layer of clothing," Here you go, fifty copper coin right?" He repeated, feeling the five silver coin in his hand before tossing it toward Yu Yan.
"Thank you sir!" He happily clutches the coins in his right palm, allowing the left hand to balance the fish.
Even while doing so with one hand and simultaneously catching give coins midair, his feet were steady and didn't budge an inch, he nimbly swung his hip to counteract the momentum generated from abruptly trying to catch the coins midair was dealing with the flimsy fish.
Seeing Yu Yan movement, the young man was surprised!
'This kid movement is fluid and solid, even the center of his gravity is sturdy, he has talent for martial art!'
That was just a flashing thought, he simply let it through and maintained a calm, detached expression.
Meanwhile, Yu Yan swiftly and carefully handed the fish toward this young man without giving it much thought, the only thing on his mind is,' That old man, I will scare him with these five silver coins!'
However, as he wanted to turn back to show off to his father, the young man's voice stopped him," Little brother, my name is Muyong, what is your name?"
