On his way to the riverside, Long Tian greeted the villagers he knew and called them all uncle or aunt, and when he arrived at his destination, he already had a quantity of steamed buns, all stuffed by some excited villagers
While this made him a little confused and flustered, it also provided him with some warmth in his heart
' Well, not everyone in this village is like that bastard Long Hai '
Tian quickly lifted the fish cage and poured the day's harvest into the bucket he brought, then pinched his chin and focused on the screen in front of him
[Name]: Simple Fish Cage / Common
[Introduction]: It can catch shrimp, crabs, turtles, small fish, etc., its effectiveness is weak and it suffers from minor damage.
[Status]: Upgradable
[Crisis Energy Points]: 5
" It can be upgraded ! "
" What will happen If I upgrade the fish cage ? "
" Will it increase in size ? ... "
Tian quickly finished eating the steamed buns, then after remembering how he slept hungry for the past two days, he couldn't help but look at the fish cage below him
" Although Energy Points are indeed precious, they can still be replenished after being used and I still have the Points I saved, so … "
" Upgrade ! "
Moments later, a new screen appeared in front of Tian's eyes
[Name] : Upgraded Fish Cage / Common
[Introduction] : Upgraded from a simple fish cage, with a larger internal space, tougher materials, equipped with a fish attracting function that enables it to catch a large number of shrimp, crabs, turtles, and various large fish, etc., its effect is extraordinary!
[Status] : Cannot be upgraded
[Energy Points] : 44
" What ? 5 Energy Points for upgrading once ? "
Tian felt a little pained after seeing the deducted Energy Points
' The Foundation Building Exercise has been upgraded to an Immortal Grade Technique and completely absorbed for only 55 Energy Points '
' Now this upgraded version of the fish cage has consumed 5 Points ! Is its effect really that good ? '
' Mmm ! Maybe the Asura Technique was a one-time thing ? '
Tian then checked the front of the new cage and immediately felt relieved !
Fish lure function ! The effect is extraordinary !
How could he feel disappointed after reading this introduction ?
" No more fooling around, I just want to have a good meal ! "
Tian threw the fish cage that looked a little bigger and prettier into the river in a convenient place, then took his harvest from the other cage and put it back in its place and left
In the afternoon, Tian appeared again by the riverside
Basically, no one would come to this area
The adults have their own important work to do, and the young people also train in the martial arts field
A few friends around the same age as Tian would come with him to put their fish cages here, so this area of the river could be considered their secret base
But before Tian regained his memories of the other world, they all went with Long Ruru to the Black Snake City to test their martial talents. According to his memory, they would return in a few days, and they would start practicing Martial Arts diligently
So it could be said that Tian had become the indirect master of this area
As he continued to think, Tian casually lifted the fish cage from the river water, but his arm suddenly stopped in place
" Ooooh ! "
Tian took a deep breath
" So heavy ! How many fish are there ? "
Tian got excited after feeling the weight of the cage, then he held it firmly with both hands and slowly pulled it to the bank, and its contents appeared in front of him little by little
" Damn ! Damn ! Damn !!! "
Tian lifted the entire fish cage and looked at the big carp that kept jumping inside the cage, then at the crabs, big river prawns, and herring that were struggling nonstop in the cage, and he even saw a big sea turtle shrink its head and pull its feet into its shell
" Wonderful ! "
Tian licked his dry lips and couldn't stop thinking
" Finally, I can eat a full meal and I won't feel hungry anymore ! "
Perhaps what Tian caught weren't Spiritual Beasts, but they were still beings that had already lived for many years in this world and their bodies contained a large amount of Spiritual Energy
Their meat would enable him from training more intensely and helping his body develop much better
The food in the cage made Tian almost jump with happiness
" The effect of the cage after upgrading is so great "
" These fish and shrimp will enable the family to eat for at least two days ! "
With lightning speed, Tian emptied the second cage, and after seeing the small fish inside, he didn't hesitate and immediately upgraded it, making his Energy Points become 39
He put the two cages back in their places and then returned home with a large load, he was sure that if it weren't for his Asura Body practice a few days ago and his physical abilities increasing slightly, he wouldn't have been able to move it, let alone carry it !
It was also fortunate for him that the villagers were busy at this time, so he didn't encounter many people on the way back and after passing the huge steel gates and guards, his path was relatively clear
After returning home, Tian discovered that there was no place to store the fish !
The weather had become hotter, and the fish would die shortly after leaving the water and if they weren't handled properly, they would then stink and become unfit for consumption !
He kept searching inside and outside the house until his eyes fell on the big jar in the backyard
This was the jar that they used in the past to raise lotus flowers, but because they were unsuccessful, they stopped using it and left it to gather dust for years
After Tian examined the jar, he found that it was in very good condition and had no cracks, and with its wide mouth, Tian estimated that it would be suitable for keeping these fish
He washed the big jar with difficulty and filled it with clean water, then poured all his harvest into it
There were sounds of "crunch" and "crunch" and the big carp moved and seemed very active, and the big grass carp, herring and big turtles at the bottom of the sea also started swimming
As for the rest of the crabs and shrimp, he left them aside to cook
The big steamed crab, the oily crab paste, the fried spicy crab, the salt baked crab
Tian's mouth watered as he thought of the dishes he could prepare with what he had now
Speaking About cooking, the spices of this world seemed to be similar to those of his previous world, cumin, chili, ginger, onion, garlic, vinegar, tea, etc., he searched and found that they were all available and even had better effects than those of his previous world due to the presence of Spiritual Energy
Tian wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and cleaned the large crabs and river prawns and put them directly to be steamed
When these crabs were almost ready, Long Jia and Long Wan returned home
At this time of year, many villagers leave in teams to hunt Spiritual Beasts, Ferocious Beasts, and even Terrifying Beasts
Jia takes advantage of this period to buy some Medicinal Herbs from them that they harvested and then turn them into Potions and pills to treat wounds. After that, she sells them and earns some money from the price difference between the raw Herbs and the finished Medicines
" Mmm ! What is the source of this fragrant smell ? "
Long Wan twitched her nose a little strangely as she searched for the source of the pleasant smell inside the house
" It seems to be coming from the kitchen ? "
Long Jia said uncertainly, then stared at Long Tian who was smiling at them from the side
" Tian ?! This is ... "
" Hehe "
" I went out today to pick up my spoils inside the fish cage and got a lot of crabs, so I cooked them right away as soon as I got back "
" You two can wash up first, then we can eat them and continue our conversation ! "
Long Tian smiled at them after that
Long Wan and Long Jia looked at each other and smiled helplessly, thinking inwardly
" Tian's appetite has become very big "
" It seems that I will have to work harder to bring him some Spiritual Meat that will satisfy his hunger and help his body grow well "
Both of them thought of many thoughts, but they quickly disappeared when they saw the amount of crabs that Long Tian cooked it and how big it was and how rich it looked with meat
They sat at the table quietly and watched Tian's delicate movements carefully, then once the crabs were cooked, the three of them slowly ate and Tian talked to them a little about their day and how their sales were, to which his aunt replied that it was low as usual due to the high supply of common medicines, whether Potions or Pills
" Tian ! You even used the big jar ! And it still has a lot of fish in it ! "
" Where did you get them from ? "
Long Wan was stunned when she saw the amount of fish left in the jar
Her voice also called Long Jia who was also surprised by what she saw and looked at Tian carefully waiting to hear his answer
" Hehe, I have placed many fish cages along the eastern bank of the river and today's harvest is particularly good and full of big fish ! "
Tian then pointed to the crabs and the small fish to explain the difference
