As expected, the fishing guy's rod never misses, there goes another one, and Chun's Fishery Production Prediction skill instantly breaks through to Intermediate, earning an extra achievement reward: Spirit +1, Luck +1!

Chun is so loaded with Spirit he could eat it for dinner, but this Luck is truly the rare attribute!

Reaching Intermediate took quite some time, but then suddenly a big fish appeared, and it went up another level!

Holy Shit, every time I push the skill it's so thrilling. If I really reel in this rare fish from nothing at the end, will it go straight to Grandmaster?

Soon, the fishing guy's fish bucket was full, which made him feel troubled: "It can't hold any more, and I'm afraid to release them; otherwise, they'll get caught again. What should I do?"

Van Gogh said, "Shall I go get a bucket?"

The Mad Old Man said, "No, we must stay focused and can't leave. Just throw the fish on the ground."

The fishing guy was anxious: "That's disrespecting the results. It pains me to see it!"

The Mad Old Man grumpily replied, "What's there to be pained about..."

The fishing guy urgently said, "You don't know how to fish, you don't understand this feeling!"

The Mad Old Man snorted, "I don't know how to fish? We've come to this point, I can fish too. How hard can it be? Do we have an extra rod?"

The fishing guy urgently said, "It's at home, but we can't leave here?"

Chun really didn't expect this situation! However, Chun understood the "feeling" the fishing guy was talking about, and his current emotional state was difficult, which would definitely affect the outcome. The Mad Old Man wanted to fish too, which could be good; a group effort to fish, filtering out these ordinary fish could make the real target appear.

There was only one solution, so Chun quickly called Zhou Qing: "Leader, it's urgent!"

Zhou Qing immediately replied, "Brother Chun, please speak."

"Find some players in Gem City, bring some fishing rods and buckets to the NPCs at Dock 5, and be quick. Also, keep it confidential!"

Zhou Qing replied, "Understood!"

Chun let out a sigh of relief, but once the players got involved, especially in such a publicly visible corner of the city with the Ten Lords' mirrors monitoring, could this remain a secret? Well, let's just hope they don't understand; after all, even to Chun, the whole thing felt abstract. He wasn't sure what could be deduced from it.

Soon, a player hurried over, and upon seeing the vast school of fish on the ocean, he was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he remembered his task: "Sir, I've brought buckets and rods for you!"

The fishing guy took a deep breath: "Great, just leave them here!"

The Mad Old Man didn't hesitate: "Give me a rod, I'll see how hard fishing really is!"

Then, casting a rod down, a bell rang, and he immediately caught a small fish!

The Mad Old Man laughed heartily: "So easy! Miss Jenny, give it a try?"

Jenny wasn't shy: "Let me try!"

Sure enough, with a flick, Jenny caught one, and she was thrilled: "I've learned Basic Fishing!"

The fishing guy chuckled: "This is the joy of fishing, Miss Jenny, do you feel it?"

Jenny nodded repeatedly: "Let me try again!"

Soon, more players appeared: "We've brought fishing buckets and rods!"

The Mad Old Man laughed: "Hand me a rod!"

Then, Jenny's laughter came through: "I caught a big one! My Fishing Technique has leveled up again!"

My prediction skill leveled up by 1!

Seeing Jenny's smile, Chun couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratification. Maybe with this fishing trip, she will upgrade to Expert or even Master in fishing, even if it doesn't provide inspiration for her sewing, as long as she's happy. Wait a minute! Wasn't Sherry originally a beginner little seamstress? She tied a bunch of fishing rods together, twisted the fishing lines into one, and triggered the "Module Combination" to accomplish today's achievements, which means fishing can indeed inspire seamstresses. Instead of just focusing on clothes, she should make fishing lines!

But there are so many players here right now, and this is the seashore, so there probably won't be any big fish... Let's inspire her when we get back, let her get hooked on fishing first, and then develop fishing lines because of her fervent love, sorted! It's not mere boasting; it's verifiable and reliable.

Thinking of this, Chun couldn't help but laugh, a mountain stone from another mountain can indeed polish a gemstone! An NPC's dilemma can be solved with the help of other NPCs, no need to dive into each of their dream realms.

Just then, Chun's phone rang; it was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, the fishing rods and buckets have been delivered. Would you like to watch a video feed?"

Chun laughed: "No need to watch it, just as long as the players don't get involved."

Zhou Qing laughed: "The players in Gem City are mostly experts with high qualities. They just don't understand what's happening. The bigwigs at the Royal Command Center are watching too, and they're also puzzled. Are these 4 NPCs on Moore's list?"

Chun laughed: "As expected of a leader. Actually, I'm just playing it abstract; the goal is for everyone to not understand. By the way, this painter, you might want to pay attention, his paintings are art."

Zhou Qing was surprised: "Do you mean we can speculate on it?"

Chun felt a bit uneasy answering: "I don't really understand this, you all probably know better what professional actions to take."

Zhou Qing laughed: "Is there anything Brother Chun isn't an expert in?"

Chun sighed: "Leader, we're classmates; you still don't know my major?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "To a girl struggling in academics, her genius classmate is omnipotent."

Chun caught a hint of ambiguity in the tone and quickly changed the topic: "So, leader, how about we add a dish tonight?"

Zhou Qing laughed loudly: "No problem! Oh, by the way, the royal family is discussing the flooding in Gem City, does it have anything to do with you?"

Chun was both laughing and crying: "Why would anyone think it's related to me? Do they really think I'm omnipotent?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Zhou Qing laughed: "Because they feel it's quite similar to Canyon Village's rainy flood control. All right, Brother Chun, take it easy, I'm heading off to prepare extra dishes."

Chun was sweating; if even his own people thought this way, what were the Ten Lords thinking now?

…

Ten Lords Chat Group.

Raphael was woken up by a call from Uriel in the middle of the night: "Raphael, something big happened in Gem City!"

Raphael was confused and irritable: "Could it not wait until morning? Lack of sleep affects my skin!"

Uriel earnestly replied: "Because this is really important—being a Sage, you need to be the first to respond to disasters to gain the people's trust."

Raphael grumpily replied: "You're just upset you stayed up all night and can't stand me sleeping..."

Though bickering, Raphael immediately began coordinating the city's and surrounding villages' Magic Mirror surveillance, and listened to the officials' reports.

Then, noticing the anomaly at Dock 5, the seagulls' gathering was abnormal, and they were quite noisy. It's not even dawn yet; the seagulls shouldn't be this active, right?

But with him needing to promptly be on-site to comfort the disaster areas, he could only delegate it to his team: "Rainbow 7, please take note, send a team to check out Dock 5."

"Understood."
