"Crack-boom!"
The thunderstorm came as expected, rumbling loudly and waking Han Qiwu up early.
After waking, Han Qiwu stayed in bed and joyfully skimmed through the contents of the log.
Combat skill leveled up again.
Grinding dungeons might be tiring, but it’s effective.
Two or three days to level up once!
As he continued reading, he became even more excited!
Fishing skill reached Level 10!
Looks like last night’s Midnight Carp gave him a ton of experience.
"The rewards for maxing the Fishing Skill are so practical! Predicting fish movement trajectories in a fishing game? It’ll make catching fish so much easier moving forward." Han Qiwu nodded with satisfaction.
After digesting that information, a series of notifications began to scroll:
[Fishing Level 10 Extra Reward: You may choose one professional advancement from the following Beginner Fisher routes]
[Profession: Master Fisherman]
[Specialization - Fisherman’s Instinct: All fish sell for 50% more]
[Profession Skill: Advanced Lightning Technique (Releases a high-voltage lightning strike in the fishing game, stunning fish for a prolonged time)]
[Profession: Master Treasure Hunter]
[Specialization - Treasure Hunter Skills: Chance of treasure chest encounters doubles]
[Profession Skill: Treasure Won’t Miss (In fishing games, the float length increases by +1 when encountering treasure chests)]
"I get to choose a profession again... let me think." Han Qiwu carefully examined the details of both professions.
After reviewing them, he chose Master Fisherman without hesitation.
First, the Master Fisherman specialization is straightforward and effective, directly adding value. He’d been fishing for so long but hadn’t gotten anything worthwhile from treasure chests anyway.
Second, the Treasure Hunter specialization effect could essentially be offset with luck points, and the profession skill seemed even less useful.
Are you kidding? With the Shadow Rod in hand, why would he need that bit of float length?
If there’s a treasure chest, he’ll definitely reel it in!
Once the choice was made, the words "Master Fisherman" transformed into golden light and darted outside the house.
"I’m right here—where’re you running off to!" Han Qiwu muttered, puzzled, as he got up, dressed, and chased after it.
Outside, he saw the golden light stop at an empty patch of ground, rapidly sketching out the shape of a boat approximately eight meters long, its details being filled in continuously.
A delayed notification finally appeared:
[Congratulations! Fishing skill has reached max level. Due to your profession choice, you have received a [Golden Fishing Boat]. Set sail and enjoy the journey!]
Han Qiwu’s mind flashed to a life tip that mentioned "devotion to a profession."
So that’s what it means!
Love it, love it!
A few minutes later, the entirely golden fishing boat was fully outlined.
Han Qiwu couldn’t wait to step aboard and inspect it. Though called a fishing boat, its deck was big enough to host a party, and the interior looked rather luxurious.
He thought about inviting Dad, Mom, and his in-laws for a family outing to sea later!
Absolutely delightful!
After spending more than half an hour exploring it, Han Qiwu reluctantly stowed the golden fishing boat away, walked over to his storage chest, and opened up the explosive ammunition’s attributes to examine them.
[Explosive Ammunition ×10]
[Materials: [Iron Ingot]×2, [Charcoal]×2]
[Effect: Each explosive ammunition shatters a 3×3 area of minerals at the point of impact and deals damage to creatures]
[Note: Can only be used with slingshots to launch ammunition!]
After reading, Han Qiwu didn’t say much and immediately crafted two sets—20 pieces in total—using Flame Iron Ingots and coal.
The crafted explosive ammunition was only about the size of a thumb and looked rather mini.
Seeing the size, Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction.
At first glance, these seemed no different from throwable bombs, but upon closer inspection, their flexibility far exceeded that of throwable bombs.
Who says you can’t shoot ten rounds of ammunition from a slingshot in one go?
One set fired out could directly blast a 10×3×3 area encompassing 90 blocks of minerals and cave creatures!
Absolutely ferocious!
Han Qiwu immediately made five sets, stored them away, and headed to the kitchen to experiment with making Seafoam Pudding.
He’d promised Mr. Tang, so it was time to get cracking!
After diving into research, he discovered that the pudding’s texture is provided by minced fish meat, paired with specially prepared squid ink bread made from sugar and flour—a non-traditional creation of a unique pudding.
After half an hour of bustling, Han Qiwu finally managed to make nine palm-sized Seafoam Puddings.
Having finished, he didn’t bother taking pictures, saved three as breakfast, and stored the rest in his inventory, ready to gift them to Tang Qingying next time they met.
Grabbing a Seafoam Pudding, Han Qiwu took a big bite, savoring it as he chewed carefully.
The squid ink bread topping was crispy beyond words, with a hint of umami that perfectly complemented the tender flounder meat and Midnight Carp meat below, creating a singularly delightful flavor profile.
Before he knew it, Han Qiwu easily polished off three puddings.
"This stuff tastes amazing. Qingying will definitely love it."
Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction, left the kitchen, and headed toward the pigsty in the yard.
He’d earlier noticed, while admiring the golden fishing boat, that the pigsty was now complete.
Compared to the cattle shed, though smaller in size, the pigsty’s roof was substantially taller.
He couldn’t help but wonder—are these pigs supposed to fly? Why would it need a ceiling over ten meters high!
After naming the pigsty "Yunzhan Cave," Han Qiwu pushed the door open and walked inside.
Looking around, he realized he’d misunderstood the system.
This isn’t a pigsty, is it?
This should be called a pig mountain!
Just like the sheepfold, the pigsty included a small hill with some lush greenery growing atop it. At the base of the hill were two pig pens, alongside a water trough and a feed machine—everything you’d need.
Heading outside, Han Qiwu retrieved the long-ago-purchased Little Flying Pig from his storage chest and placed it in the pigsty.
The Little Flying Pig, finally free to move around, eagerly flew up to the hilltop as soon as it appeared.
The Little Flying Pig had a pink hue with wing designs resembling a unicorn’s—broad and powerful, enabling it to soar freely.
Whether it could carry Han Qiwu for a flight, however, remained uncertain.
It likely needs to grow a bit more first.
