67: Meihu Island Fishing Carnival

The next day, inside the Canglan No. 2 High School team.

Lin Shu had returned to school yesterday after obtaining the two advanced skill orbs.

He handed them over to Black Night midway.

He was preparing for his trip to the Otherworld with Brother Wu today.

As for the Purple Haobird, it had already been confirmed for cash out.

Generally speaking, a perfect quality Beastmaster's spiritual objects are priced between 1 million and 3 million daxia currency, and the White Cloud Arena cashed it out at the highest price of 3 million, with the Beastmaster resources obtained by the endorser also not yet claimed.

Lin Shu temporarily had no plans for these two sums, totaling around 4 million daxia currency, as Black Night's future evolution would require a considerable amount of evolution materials.

He wasn't sure if this amount would be enough to purchase all the materials.

The Black Obsidian Battle Mantis materials sent by his mentor had also been received this morning and were placed in his spatial ring.

There were three types of materials in total.

They were: Gold Crystal Ore, a Tier 4 Dark-elemental Crystal Core, and the Tier 4 spiritual objects Dark Flower Without Fruit.

Lin Shu could find the approximate prices of these materials online.

Combined, they were worth about 800,000 daxia currency, which was considered a mid-to-high-end price among perfect-grade evolution materials.

Just then, his phone chimed, indicating a new message.

It was Wu Song.

"I'm already on my way from the Martial Hall; I'll be there in half an hour."

"I'll message you again later; just come out and wait."

Lin Shu looked at the message and, for some reason, felt that Brother Wu was even more eager than him to get to Meihu Island.

He replied with "Received."

Then he dealt with other messages; since winning the Chu Niao Cup yesterday, his reputation at school had reached its peak, making him one of the most famous students.

Last night, discussions about this topic were exceptionally heated on the school's internal forum.

Everyone was discussing the matter, as it was Canglan No. 2 High School's first championship in several years.

Although it wasn't a major competition, it was enough to excite these high school students.

This also included messages from other members of the school team, who all sent messages congratulating Lin Shu on his victory.

He briefly replied to the others' messages, then fed Black Night and Earth Splendor their morning food and nutritional potions.

He casually upgraded Black Night by one level, spending 215 proficiency points, leaving him with 65 points.

His level reached 22, getting closer and closer to the evolution threshold of level 25; the future looked promising.

After he finished these tasks, Wu Song's message came through.

"Five minutes to Canglan No. 2 High School!"

"Okay, I'm coming out."

Seeing this, Lin Shu calmly closed the door and left his room.

He entered a silver-white commercial vehicle parked outside the school gate.

Lin Shu had also requested leave from the school team for this trip, initially for ten days, and had spoken with two teachers from the school team and the principal.

The result was naturally approval, as simple training could no longer satisfy Lin Shu; everyone could see that.

Inside the car, Lin Shu looked at Wu Song's attire and felt a bit unfamiliar.

He wore a wide-brimmed bucket hat, with black sunglasses perched on his hairline.

He had on a colorful casual shirt, paired with loose, short quick-drying pants.

On his feet were a pair of gray-brown slippers, and on his wrist was a blue spatial ring similar to Lin Shu's.

Overall, Lin Shu felt as though he wasn't going to the Otherworld, but rather to a beach for a vacation.

Seeing Lin Shu's scrutinizing gaze, Wu Song grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and laughed, saying,

"Haha! Aren't you curious why I'm dressed like this?"

"I won't tell you yet; you'll understand once you reach Meihu Island."

Could Meihu Island be similar to those resort beaches from his previous life?

"This trip is a detour; even if you hadn't mentioned it, I always go to Meihu Island during my usual holidays."

"It's a great place, and coincidentally, there are competitions starting these next few days."

After speaking, Wu Song's face showed some anticipation, eager to arrive at their destination immediately.

Hearing this, Lin Shu felt even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask,

"Brother Wu, what competition makes you so happy?"

"Of course, it's the Meihu Island Fishing Frenzy Competition!"

"This competition is not simple; many fishing enthusiasts will flock there from all directions."

"It's considered one of the most popular fishing competition venues."

After saying this, Wu Song's eyes were filled with anticipation and fervor.

Lin Shu then realized that Brother Wu was also a fishing enthusiast.

Fishing enthusiasts were truly everywhere; they were even indispensable in the Otherworld.

"I see, Brother Wu, how are your fishing skills?"

As this topic came up, Wu Song became even more animated.

"It's not me bragging to you, but in Fengdu City, if I say I'm third, no one dares to claim first or second."

"Do you understand now?"

Lin Shu only felt a sense of awe, not fully comprehending; it seemed Brother Wu had some real skills.

He hadn't expected him to be not only strong in Beastmaster abilities but also skilled in fishing.

Seeing that Lin Shu seemed somewhat impressed, Wu Song's mouth gradually curved into a smirk.

"Tomorrow, you'll see my performance. The spiritual objects in Meihu Island are all Water-elemental.

"They are all in the lake, and you have to catch them yourself."

"You absolutely cannot go into the lake to capture them; that completely violates the rules there."

"These are all minor matters; with your Brother Wu here, it's all a piece of cake."

Seeing Wu Song say this, Lin Shu also chimed in cooperatively, and incidentally, showed some expressions of admiration.

"Of course, that depends on you, Brother Wu."

"After all, professionals do professional things."

Wu Song was very pleased to hear this and subsequently began recounting his past fishing history.

He spoke of the rare fish he had caught and how his footprints were found in various parts of the Otherworld.

For him, fishing was clearly more than just a hobby.

Lin Shu also listened attentively, occasionally chiming in.

Thus, the car drove steadily on the road, with the two of them in the back chatting about fishing.

They headed to the neighboring Haizhou... Although it was only the distance of one province, it was still considerably slower than their last trip to Yan Province.

This showed how vast the Haizhou region was.

It wasn't until around three in the afternoon that they entered the territory of Haizhou.

Haizhou, as its name suggests, is a coastal area.

Nearly 70% of its land area borders the ocean.

The weather is pleasant year-round, with generally warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, averaging between 20-30°C.

It also boasts the most comprehensive variety of Water-elemental spiritual objects in all of Daxia, which means that in Haizhou, you'll rarely see spiritual objects of other attributes; they are mostly brought by Beastmasters who are visiting or entering the Otherworld.

Due to the abundant and incredibly diverse fish and seafood, which are also exceptionally delicious, Haizhou's fish and seafood are bestsellers throughout Daxia.

This has also led to the emergence of many fishing competitions, attracting numerous fishing enthusiasts.

The location of Meihu Island this time was in Muyang Bay, within Muyang City...
