71: Five days and five nights

“That Illusion Dream Fish was found by you, so I definitely won’t fight you for it.”

“But today, I’m going to take it out and show it off properly.”

Lin Shu waved his hand when Wu Song said that.

“How can this be directly counted as mine? How could I have caught it without Brother Wu?”

Just as Wu Song was about to reply to Lin Shu, the nearby fishermen had already arrived.

Their eyes scanned, and they immediately saw the Illusion Dream Fish swimming in the aquarium.

They were instantly dumbfounded, their eyes filled with surprise, and some even shouted directly.

“It’s an Illusion Dream Fish!”

“Everyone, hurry over, there’s an Illusion Dream Fish here!”

“Oh my god, oh my god!”

With such exclamations, the originally quiet Meihu Island instantly became lively.

Everyone put down what they were holding and rushed to Lin Shu’s location.

Within a few minutes, dozens of people arrived, allSurround surrounding and watching the Illusion Dream Fish.

Wu Song’s mouth was wide open, his face beaming, and he said grandly.

“Everyone, take a good look!”

“Don’t rush! Everyone will get to see it!”

“This is what I just caught, I’m letting everyone see enough of it.”

The praises from the other fishermen made Wu Song ecstatic, and some even wanted to buy it, but it was unexpectedly rejected.

Lin Shu, along with Heiye, Tuyao, and Shuang Ren, left this troublesome place.

They were all a bit unaccustomed to this environment.

This kind of scene probably wouldn’t end for several hours.

They had no choice but to go to another spot to fish and continue grinding for proficiency.

Fortunately, Shuang Ren didn't like to participate in these things, otherwise the proficiency gained today would have been greatly reduced.

The rest of the time passed like this, with one side being lively and the other quietly fishing.

At 8 PM, Lin Shu decided to end his day’s activities.

He had caught 8 fish throughout the day, gaining 115 proficiency points.

The main reason was that the voices of the nearby fishermen were too noisy, otherwise he would have caught much more.

He casually added a level to Heiye, reducing the proficiency by 225 points, bringing its level to 24, with 39 proficiency points remaining.

On the other side, it was still exceptionally popular, and everyone who had just entered Meihu Island was attracted by the scene there.

Wu Song’s voice was a bit hoarse, but he remained unmoved, vigorously shouting about the Illusion Dream Fish.

Looking at him, it seemed he would be pulling an all-nighter again. Lin Shu didn’t bother with it and returned directly to the hotel.

Shuang Ren followed suit, as it didn’t want to stay outside... When Lin Shu came down from the hotel with Shuang Ren the next day, the once bustling area was empty again.

Only Wu Song remained, silently holding his fishing rod, occasionally looking at the Illusion Dream Fish.

Although he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and had two dark circles under his eyes, his Mental state was exceptionally excited at this moment.

Seeing Lin Shu approach, he greeted him with a smile.

“You’re here!”

“Why did your Shuang Ren run off?”

He also reproached Shuang Ren, who had suddenly slipped away, but the latter ignored him and took over the original fishing spot on its own.

Lin Shu looked around and noticed many cameras set up, not just individually, but behind all the fishermen.

The competition was about to start, no wonder everyone had left and wasn’t still gathered around.

“The competition is about to start, at ten o’clock.”

“Too bad, I haven’t shown off enough yet…”

Seeing Lin Shu looking at the surrounding cameras, Wu Song explained. His voice had become a bit sharp from talking all night.

“Brother Wu, what are the specific rules?”

“Is it simply about who catches more fish?”

Wu Song stood up, stretched a bit, and explained.

“Of course, in a fishing competition, the more fish, the better, but fish also have ordinary and rare distinctions.”

“Catching an ordinary fish earns 1 point, while rare ones are between 5-10 points, ranked by rarity.”

“Just like yesterday’s Illusion Dream Fish, the rules show it’s worth a full 100 points!”

“You can see how precious it is, it’s just a pity it was caught a bit too early…”

Wu Song’s tone was a bit regretful. If it had been caught after the competition started, it would not only attract attention but might even win him the championship.

Lin Shu also understood the rules.

Wu Song continued to add.

“This competition is for individuals, but if your Beastmaster can fish, it can also help.”

“Of course, only one can be chosen, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.”

Lin Shu looked at Shuang Ren, thinking, ‘Your pressure is a bit high then.’

He wondered if he could get a ranking with Brother Wu.

However, with Lin Shu helping, there was still some hope.

“I’ve been fishing for so long, and I’ve never gotten a ranking.”

“I hope this time I can get a ranking, even if it’s just the hundredth place.”

“Go for it, Brother Wu!”

Hearing this, Lin Shu quickly cheered for Wu Song. The more fish caught, the more proficiency he would gain.

After a period of preparation, the signal for the official start of the competition came from the Otherworld entrance.

Around the lake, all the fishermen at this moment cast their fishing rods into the water, hoping to get an early lead.

This Meihu Island Fishing Carnival will last for five days, until 10 AM next Monday.

If you have an attitude of not caring about the results, you can rest in between or do anything, but most people have already planned to endure for five days, truly fighting for every inch and unwilling to waste even a bit of time.

Fortunately, they are all Beastmasters, and they all have Beastmaster feedback, so their bodies are far beyond ordinary people, otherwise, with this intensity, how many people would be exhausted after one competition.

The intensity of this competition is really high, not something ordinary people can withstand.

But when Lin Shu looked around, the number of fishermen was at least over a thousand, which was truly exaggerated.

His gaze returned to Wu Song and Shuang Ren, and Lin Shu began to direct them.

Because of the previous incident of discovering the Illusion Dream Fish, both the person and the beast were unusually attentive to Lin Shu’s directions.

When Shuang Ren and Wu Song heard that there were more fish on the left side, they unhesitatingly changed the position of their fishing rods.

With Lin Shu’s guidance, the speed of catching fish indeed increased significantly.

Within just ten minutes, Shuang Ren caught a Black-spotted Stone Fish.

Even Wu Song, who had been empty-handed for several days, caught a yellowtail fish with help.

“This is great!”

“Lin Shu, you are my brother, you are truly my brother!”

Lin Shu quickly waved his hand, saying it was unnecessary.

At this moment, Lin Shu also made up his mind to endure for five days.

By the end of this time, the proficiency gained should be enough to raise Heiye to level 25 and purchase its evolution path.

The subsequent time was relatively monotonous and boring. Lin Shu occasionally directed where the fish schools were, while Shuang Ren and Wu Song were responsible for constantly catching fish.

Heiye was responsible for collecting the fish brought ashore, and also practiced its skills in between, while Tuyao, when idle, continuously practiced its skills on the side.

This scene also appeared in the competition live broadcast.

Many viewers, seeing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim that it was truly intense...
