With the lively fishing of the team of three, Chun's Fishery Production Prediction smoothly reached Advanced level, and Luck increased by another point.

But the thing Chun feared most happened; the secret couldn't be kept anymore, and foreign players were coming. Normally, when players see a fish school, no matter how many there are, they would cast their lines too, right? Who knows if this would cause interference?

This group of players quietly observed the scene, staring back at the Chinese players present with wide eyes.

Chun sensed something was off with these players.

Then each player in this group pulled out a police baton and started driving away the Chinese players: "This is a special management zone, unrelated personnel must evacuate immediately!"

Holy shit, police batons?! Player auxiliary police, these are people from the Ten Lords! These batons are so rogue, they can openly hit ordinary players, and ordinary players can't fight back, or they'll get a red name!

The Chinese players on-site cursed loudly.

This group of police batons even took out stakes and isolation bands, directly starting to stake out the area and drive people away!

Holy shit! This isolation band is rogue too, if you force your way in, you'll get a red name!

Alright then, since they've staked out the area, the Ten Lords obviously want to monopolize the quest, so come on! The current trend guarantees continuous fishing, but it doesn't guarantee catching the target fish. Let's see if the Ten Lords have the capability for that.

Just then, the phone rang, it was Zhou Qing: "Brother Chun, the Ten Lords are interfering, what should we do?"

Chun replied: "Brothers, you've worked hard, don't fight, just let it be."

Zhou Qing asked: "Will it affect us?"

Chun laughed: "After all, I'm playing abstract, who knows, maybe the Ten Lords will make it even more abstract."

Zhou Qing said: "I heard these people are the player security force of Raphael from the Ten Lords, typically equivalent to NPC guards, but they're not NPCs, there's no absolute solution, players can still counteract them."

Chun was dumbfounded: "You can fight back without getting a red name?"

Zhou Qing said: "Yes, the Baron of Black Iron City issued a culinary bounty quest two days ago. Many NPC chefs have signed up, and the Royal Family is taking the opportunity to buy menus from them. One of these NPCs can make a type of French baguette. This baguette is long and hard, you can hit people with it but it doesn't count as a weapon, can't kill anyone, and won't give you a red name. It's perfect for fighting these player security forces, and can even counter some gangsters."

Chun was astonished: "Isn't the baguette a joke and meme on the internet? Is this thing actually in the game?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "It's real, some players have seen the menu, but that NPC isn't selling. The idea is, if citizens are unhappy with corrupt officials, they can throw eggs and vegetables at them on the street to express anger. Since these are food, they don't cause harm, so no red name either — that's where the baguette mechanic comes in, it's also food, just bread, so hitting someone with it isn't illegal and doesn't give a red name!"

Chun felt Zhou Qing was hinting at something: "So, the leader is telling me this just for?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "To let Brother Chun learn new knowledge!"

It's clearly because they think I'm all-capable and can get the menu, right? Well, I actually can!

Chun asked: "What's the NPC's name?"

Zhou Qing chuckled: "Does Brother Chun want it?"

I knew it...

Chun laughed: "Of course I like such an abstract weapon!"

"Alright, I'll find out right away…"

Great, I'll leave this to Vivian. Even though I'm in jail, as long as I know the recipe, maybe I can figure it out by messing around in the Divine Domain bakery, especially since they have sugarcane here for sugar extraction. Beans can also be used for oil extraction, all the basic ingredients for bread are available.

When the day comes when I'm released, sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a hospital gown with a chef's apron, swinging two Divine Artifact-level baguettes, as abstract as you can get, that's the image of an international master! Additionally, I can arm the whole gang so my brothers won't be at a disadvantage.

...

At this time, after driving away the Chinese players, these police batons began to ingratiate themselves with the fishing trio: "Miss, gentlemen, do you need any help from us?"

The fishing old man didn't mince words: "Prepare more fish buckets, just don't let the grandpa's fish have nowhere to go."

"Understood, we'll immediately send someone to prepare more buckets. May I ask, why did the fish school appear here?"

The fishing old man laughed: "Of course it's to fulfill a dream, to catch the Treasure Phoenix Fish I've dreamed of for decades…"

"What does that fish look like?"

The fishing old man laughed: "Van Gogh boy, show him what this fish looks like with your painting…"

Van Gogh laughed: "I knew it, you can fulfill dreams through painting!"

The fishing old man scoffed: "You're way off…"

Chun coldly watched, seeing how this group tried to gather intelligence, and how they reported to their superiors…

After a while, Zhou Qing's message came: "It's a guy named Michelin, temporarily working at the Black Fish Roasted Restaurant."

"Got it."

"Okay, Brother Chun, keep busy slowly, and look forward to my vinegar fish tonight."

"Very much looking forward to it…"

Ending the call, Chun went to talk to Vivian: "Vi... uh, darling!"

Vivian happily replied with a smile: "Darling!"

Mina was anxious: "Master, I'm also your darling~!"

Sigh, is this game really to fulfill a man's greatest fantasy?

"Yes, yes, everyone's darling…"

Chun got straight to the point: "I got news, there's a chef named Michelin in Black Iron City…"

Vivian laughed: "Does darling want the baguette recipe? It's not very tasty! But since darling wants it, I'll figure it out, there's nothing keeping me here anyway, I should wake up too! See you tonight then!"

Wow, just like that, they get things done!

Thinking back, getting her to handle a liquor license was incredibly difficult, but now, I can directly entrust her with tasks without negotiating terms!

Chun was both moved and relieved: "Even if we don't get it, don't push it."

Vivian's figure began to fade: "Watch me…"

Uh, well then. This dream's over return is pretty swift, huh.

So next up is continuing to rest, lying flat to level up skills. The only thing to watch out for is if Raphael from the Ten Lords personally comes to inspect, with all his Divine Artifacts, he might actually notice something.

...

At this time, Raphael, receiving reports from the Rainbow 7 live broadcast, was utterly perplexed.

Four NPCs, one painter, two old men, one lady mage tailor, gathered on the coast to fish! It's normal for old men to fish, but a lady mage fishing while drinking with old men, this combination doesn't make sense at all! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The key is that from the surveillance, there seems to be no monitored route for their gathering! And it seems just as Gem City issued a flood warning, they began fishing, and these bizarre fish schools appeared, plus the painter's depiction of the Treasure Phoenix Fish… what on earth is this?

Right now, no one is awake, so I can only ask Uriel: "Uriel, what do you think?"

Uriel laughed: "This so-called Treasure Phoenix Fish is not even in the same league as my Earth Flame Tribe's Purple Crystal Fish, at most it's a collector's item, what big events could it trigger?"

Raphael sighed: "But it was those Chinese players who first discovered and triggered the event, could it be related to that Chun?"

Uriel laughed: "Yes, definitely! When Metatron wakes up, let's have Metatron judge him a yearlong sentence!"
