70: Psychic Beast Tamer Dream Fish
The next morning, Lin Shu returned to his usual spot from a hotel nearby.
Last night, after grilling and eating the fish, Lin Shu had gone back to the hotel to rest.
Wu Song, however, had not left and chose to continue staking out the spot, hoping to catch a fish.
He found Wu Song still at his original fishing spot, his bloodshot eyes intently fixed on the float in the distance.
Both sides were empty, clearly, after a whole night, he was still empty-handed.
Shuang Ren lay beside him, resting, with a look of disdain on its face.
Seeing Lin Shu return, Wu Song said in a somewhat hoarse voice,
“You’re here, have a seat.”
“Let's continue fishing today.”
“It's already been half a day, I’m about to catch something!”
By the end, he was practically growling.
“Don’t worry, Brother Wu, it will definitely happen today.”
Lin Shu wasn't exactly lying; his words had some basis.
In truth, his own understanding of fishing wasn't high; he had only managed to catch a fish yesterday.
It was entirely due to the system panel.
He could see the panels of the underwater Beastmasters from the water.
As long as he found where the numbers were abundant, he would fish there, which greatly increased his success rate.
Perhaps this way, he could help Brother Wu avoid the embarrassing situation of not catching any fish.
“Hmm, that's for sure.”
After replying, he stared intently at the calm lake surface.
Around them, many people were setting up the venue; Lin Shu had also noticed many people setting up a stage at the entrance when he came down from the hotel.
These people were also preparing for tomorrow's Meihu Island Fishing Carnival.
Many construction tasks were being done, all by Earth-type Beastmasters, such as Earth Moles and Mud Golems.
Their work efficiency was terrifyingly high, far exceeding machines.
Lin Shu moved his small stool to the side and began to survey the surroundings, looking for the place with the most fish.
A gentle breeze blew, stirring ripples on the lake's surface; it was difficult to find traces of fish beneath such a calm exterior.
However, Lin Shu's gaze swept around, and he quickly discovered the presence of two schools of fish, likely attracted by the bait.
Just as Lin Shu was about to point out a spot to Wu Song, a peculiar panel caught his attention.
【Name】: Illusion Dream Fish
【Level】: lv11 (11/110)
【Level Cap】: lv43
【Status】: Happy
【Quality】: Elite
【Attribute】: Water / Mental
【Talent】: None
【Skills】: Beginner - Bubble - Minor Accomplishment (15/30), Dream Entry - Minor Accomplishment (11/30)
It was actually an extremely rare Mental attribute Beast!
He hadn't expected such an excellent Beast to exist within Meihu Island, which truly opened Lin Shu's eyes.
He immediately picked up his phone and began to look up the Illusion Dream Fish.
Some basic information and photos immediately appeared before him.
The Illusion Dream Fish was small, only about 40 centimeters in size, with a pink body and a brilliantly colored, vibrant tail.
It was covered in various colors, which grew randomly and were not uniform.
Below, there were various comments discussing how rare the Illusion Dream Fish was.
How powerful it could become after careful cultivation, and many Beastmasters offered high rewards to acquire an Illusion Dream Fish.
Having such a good thing, he naturally wouldn't let it leave.
Lin Shu quickly went to Wu Song's side and said,
“Brother Wu, a fish just jumped up.”
“It was pink, and its tail was so beautiful, colorful and iridescent.”
Wu Song was initially somewhat indifferent, but as he listened, those characteristics—wasn't that an Illusion Dream Fish!
“Where is it? That's an Illusion Dream Fish! That's a rare commodity.”
Even Shuang Ren sensed something was amiss and followed Wu Song to the area Lin Shu was pointing to.
“It's right there, it just came out.”
“Since it's a rare commodity, hurry up and catch it, otherwise it would be a pity if it gets away.”
Wu Song nodded heavily at the words, immediately signaled Shuang Ren to start fishing, and he himself took out a thumb-sized glass bottle from his spatial ring, which contained a pale golden liquid, crystal clear and not looking like an ordinary item.
He then opened the bottle and accurately tossed the liquid inside into the area where the Illusion Dream Fish was located.
Only after finishing these tasks did he have time to explain to Lin Shu.
“This Scented Spirit Liquid is something specially researched to attract Illusion Dream Fish.”
“Once it smells this, it won't have any thoughts of leaving, and it will feel exceptionally hungry, greatly increasing the probability of it taking the bait.”
“I really didn't expect you to encounter such a rare commodity.”
Wu Song's voice was loud, his previous dejected demeanor making a 180-degree turn; now he was smiling so widely his mouth couldn't close.
It was evident that the appearance of the Illusion Dream Fish was an extremely important event to him.
“It's all good luck, I didn't even know what it was.”
“Just curious.”
With a big catch as motivation, Shuang Ren was exceptionally serious, and the float immediately reacted; everyone looked forward, anticipating.
Unfortunately, it was just a Black-spotted Stone Fish; he casually tossed it onto the shore and then immediately cast his rod again, waiting for the Illusion Dream Fish to bite.
Without Lin Shu's command, Night immediately went forward, dealt with the Black-spotted Stone Fish in a few moves, and then came closer to watch the excitement.
Tuyao also stood quietly to the side, silently watching everyone's actions.
“This Illusion Dream Fish is a Water/Mental dual-type; I'm sure you also know the rarity of the Mental type and its combat power once it matures.”
“Meihu Island hasn't caught one in over a year, and now the price of the Illusion Dream Fish has reached a very high level.”
At this point, Wu Song began to introduce it to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu also cooperated by showing a surprised expression.
“That's amazing, then my luck is really good.”
“Yes, I prepared the Scented Spirit Liquid with a faint hope, not expecting to actually encounter one.”
Wu Song nodded in agreement, his gaze always fixed on the lake surface, not moving away for a moment.
At this moment, the Scented Spirit Liquid finally took effect.
The float trembled slightly, Shuang Ren gave a sharp tug, and a small pink fish appeared in their sight.
Its vibrant tail shimmered with flashes of light under the refraction of the sun.
The Illusion Dream Fish had taken the bait!
Wu Song was overjoyed, quickly grabbing the fish tank he had prepared nearby; his speed was terrifyingly fast.
Before Lin Shu could even react, the Illusion Dream Fish was already blowing bubbles in the half-human-tall fish tank.
Its rolling eyeballs showed that it seemed unaware of what had just happened.
“Hahahaha!!!”
As the Illusion Dream Fish was placed inside, Wu Song burst into laughter, clearly extremely excited.
After laughing, he quickly took out his phone to take pictures from left and right, even getting close to the Illusion Dream Fish to record it.
This would be the most significant highlight in his fishing career.
Lin Shu, Night, Tuyao, and Shuang Ren also gathered around to watch the excitement.
They watched the Illusion Dream Fish looking helpless in the fish tank, Ramming against the glass surface, trying to escape.
Many other fishermen in the distance also heard Wu Song's loud laughter and turned their heads, wondering what on earth was going on.
He scared all my fish away!
They wanted to see what had happened.
Those closer with sharper eyes even walked directly over to check.
What was so exciting?
