Chapter 181 Fisherman’s Paradise

The ghost ship is very large, but ordinary trialists can only move around on the deck. If they want to rest in the inner cabin, they can only rent it.

As for the currency in circulation, of course it is those freshly hung fish.

"Yes!" With an excited exclamation, an experienced man in the distance raised his pole with all his strength. From the struggling movement, it could be seen that it was a big fish.

When you hear the fish in the Styx River, you will know that it is not ordinary. The special fishing rod pulled up an 8-pound fish with a ghost-like face. Looking at the smile on the uncle's face, you can tell that the result is extraordinary.

"Sell it to me for 30,000 credit points." Without saying anything, Black Shark immediately offered a high price.

Of course the uncle was also willing, and the two hit it off and quickly completed the deal.

Turning around, Black Shark handed the big fish to a skeleton with the title of first deputy. The rent for the first room was considered settled.

Xu Jiang watched from the sidelines and praised repeatedly: "It seems that fishing can also make a lot of money!"

No wonder this trial makes fishermen flock to it.

Not only can you experience the joy of fishing, but you can also earn a lot of money. This good fish can cost tens of thousands of credits. Many professionals with average talents have simply not been promoted.

Even if I am stuck at level 40, I can make a living by fishing.

Black Shark used the fish in exchange for the right to use a small room for half a day.

Although it looks very shabby, here they can rest, sleep, and chat about various private plans without being disturbed.

After entering the room, Black Shark took out a map from his bag and placed it on the table.

A river moving forward, three islands passing by, and a final trial site were all clearly marked on the map, just like what Jiuchuan Group had sent him in advance.

With an ugly smile, Black Shark said to Xu Jiang: "Mr. Xu must have understood the rules in detail before coming in. I can just say a few words."

"There are three ways to improve the performance score of the trial."

[1. Fishing. The type, quality, and quantity of fish can affect the final score.]

[2. Collection. Along the way, the ship will stop at three small islands in sequence. You can go to the islands to collect food, wood, ores, etc., and you can redeem scores. 】

[3. Battle. At the final stop, you will face a trial, where you can get corresponding scores by killing monsters. 】

Putting aside the method of spending money to acquire, these three methods can be said to have their own pros and cons.

Fishing is more about luck. If you are lucky, your luck will skyrocket, and your advanced results will even be better than those of some masters.

Of course, the unlucky ones may also be the Air Force. No one has caught the legendary Styx golden carp so far.

Collection eliminates uncertainty and purely depends on your diligence. However, considering the transportation and excavation of materials, the efficiency is the lowest among the three ratings.

As for fighting, not to mention, if nothing unexpected happens, this will be Xu Jiang's choice.

Relying on killing enemies to obtain a large number of points is the most dangerous and efficient method.

"But our boss discovered that this place actually has a hidden mission. That is, these three islands actually have some connections with each other."

"What's the connection?" Xu Jiang asked.

"Take an ore from the first island and ignite the blue flame on the second island, which will lead to the fish monster. After killing it, you will get the skull, and you can open the ruins on the third island."

A series of tasks? It sounds interesting. I don’t know how these people found this connection.

I think if this mission develops to the end, the reward should be very generous. Anyway, it is the only way to go, and Xu Jiang is also very interested.

"Then where did you encounter resistance? Do you need me to help?"

"In the ruins of the third ring, there are many traps inside and we can't break through, so we hope Mr. Xu can help."

If you don't have enough fighting strength, it sounds very common sense to ask for help from outside.

But in this case, wouldn’t your previous and later plans be contradictory?

Just because I can pass the level doesn't mean that you can also pass it.

After arguing for a long time, you still can't get the perfect guide. Instead, you gave me a hidden mission for free. Are you so kind?

Xu Jiang thought to himself, his face remained calm as he watched Black Shark's performance.

After talking for another half an hour, Xu Jiang was blown up to the point where everything was in the sky and on the ground, and then he finally stopped.

"Then Mr. Xu, I will leave this room to you if there is still some time left. We are also going fishing." Black Shark is a good person. After reaching cooperation, he put away the map with satisfaction and turned around to leave.

Xu Jiang did not refuse. He sat alone in the room, thinking about the risks and rewards of this mission.

Sure enough, after a while, Gong Zi returned. This time he was alone. He looked so sneaky that he seemed to have come here secretly while avoiding the other two people.

"Oh! Xu Jiang, why did you accept this task? Didn't I wink at you that day?" Gong Zhiwei looked embarrassed.

He works for his boss, but his boss wants to deal with his former good friend, which puts him in a dilemma.

Xu Jiang smiled and patted Gong Zi on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool. It's not easy for them to plot against me."

His confidence comes from strength.

Not to mention the two of Smiling Tiger's men, even if there were 20 of them, Xu Jiang was totally worthy.

But Gong Zi still looked worried.

"This chain of tasks is not as simple as they say. It is said to be a large-scale task with more than ten links. What I tell you is just the tip of the iceberg."

Xu Jiang frowned slightly when he heard this: "You mean, once I pass through the ruins, they can get the materials and kick me away? Do they have that strength?"

"They don't have the strength to hide in this ghost ship and not get out."

The ghost ship is like a huge safe area.

If you want to take risks, you have to get off the boat and face the test of life and death; but if you want to be comfortable, you can always stay on the boat and fish, and the bearded captain will protect your safety.

Once those people have obtained the treasure and assembled it, they can give up all subsequent off-ship operations and wait for the trial to end on the ship.

Thinking about it this way, the whole plan makes sense.

The Smiling Tiger didn't want to get any strategies at all. His goal was always to obtain the treasures in the series of missions.

If Gong Zi hadn't revealed the information to him, Black Shark could even secretly assemble the treasure and take it out of the spiritual realm easily.

"That's really difficult! What do you think I should do? Get the treasure and fall out with them directly?" Xu Jiang asked.

Gong Zi shook his head: "I don't know either. You can make your own decision. After all, I am the boss's subordinate. I can't... Hey, I hope you won't have too much conflict."

Gong Zhiwei was in a dilemma, and finally he could only sigh and leave the room.

As for Xu Jiang, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Smiling tiger?

How dare a bar owner in Heishui District go against Jiuchuan and the city bureau to target him?

Or is it that someone behind the scenes is getting impatient and wants to take action against him?

Then come and give it a try and see who plots against whom.
