14: Achievement: My first death!

-57

Xu Shian didn't lose any health, but that Charge hurt like crazy!

Right now, he couldn't quite figure out what kind of geniuses those who played the Class were! Did they have masochistic tendencies?

Although it hurt a lot, the health points weren't deducted from Xu Shian's head!

A -57 health loss appeared above the head of the 'Yellow Braised Chicken' that was pecking fiercely at the Goat nearby!

The 'Yellow Braised Chicken' was stunned for a moment, looked at the Big Plate Chicken, Spicy Chicken, and Kung Pao Chicken next to it, and thought: it didn't even hurt! How did it lose health?

Since it couldn't figure it out, it stopped thinking about it. With a flap of its wings, a pair of sharp claws dug into the Goat's head!

-103 (Critical Hit)

Although the Goat's attributes could crush level 2 players, humanity's greatest weapon was cooperation and coordination!

Therefore, the level 3 Goat was also being beaten crazily on this land...

It had to take a beating from others, and here with Xu Shian, it naturally had to take one too!

Unable to withstand the second round, the Goat collapsed to the ground just like that...

【Ding, congratulations on killing the level 3 monster 'Goat', you obtained: EXP +6, extra life +3 days.】

【Congratulations on obtaining loot: Lamb Chop *1, Lamb Meat *2】

Only six EXP points!

To level up, he would have to kill over a hundred Goats!

Although he had many minions, his level 4 summoning skill only increased attack by 40 points, but did not increase agility attributes.

His chicken minions' attack frequency was very mediocre, with an attack interval of about 3 seconds, perfectly exemplifying "noobs pecking at each other."

Xu Shian had originally thought about venturing deeper into the level 4 monster area!

But he discovered that his satiety was dropping faster and faster!

According to the 【Jianghu Encyclopedia】, if it continued to drop, DEBUFFs would start appearing!

Finding a high point, Xu Shian saw a small river about three or four li away!

According to Jianghu rules, wherever there is a river, there is fish!

According to talent rules, if there is fish, I can catch it...

Right now, Xu Shian didn't want anything else; he just wanted to quickly catch a couple of delicious little fish to grill and eat...

In the world of the game, one must follow the rules of the game!

With so many ingredients on him now, if he didn't go through the system's Cooking, whatever he made would likely not have the attribute of increasing 【satiety】...

Hurrying and rushing, Xu Shian arrived at the riverbank just in time!

He checked his own status!

【red name, slaughter value 1 point】

【satiety: 19/100】

【energy points: 49/100】

Then, a DEBUFF called 'Poor Condition' appeared on Xu Shian.

【Poor Condition】: A debuff that reduces all your attributes by 5% and accuracy by 5%!

While fighting monsters, Xu Shian was mostly slacking off!

And slacking off could only make his satiety drop a little slower; slacking off couldn't make you stop feeling hungry...

Daring not to delay, Xu Shian quickly arranged for a few minions to keep watch, then took out his fishing rod and started fishing!

Fortunately, his fishing progress bar was much shorter than other people's!

Otherwise, one fish every ten minutes would be quite frustrating...

【Congratulations on obtaining: Delicious Little Fish +1, Fishing Skill +1】

【Ding, affected by the talent: Gift of Nature, your harvest has increased threefold, you obtained additional Delicious Little Fish +3】

Xu Shian was dumbfounded!

This counts too?

On second thought, why wouldn't it count?

Putting away the fishing rod, Xu Shian cast the skill 【Cooking Fire】 that came with 【Cooking】.

Immediately, a small campfire appeared beside Xu Shian!

He clicked on the Cooking skill and began to make 【Grilled Delicious Little Fish】...

Instantly, it was as if Xu Shian's body had lost control, and he began to prepare the fish by following the grilling steps in his mind!

What surprised him was that four fish could be grilled on the fire at the same time; he didn't have to operate one by one!

Of course, Xu Shian could feel that he was in control of his own body, and he could exit this state at any time!

However, if he exited, the production would likely fail!

It took about ten minutes in his mind to grill the little fish, but for Xu Shian, the world seemed to have been put on fast-forward...

In three minutes, four portions of 【Grilled Delicious Little Fish】 were fresh out of the oven!

【Grilled Delicious Little Fish】: Eat 60% of the whole food, and you will gain the effect: Satiety +30, restore 80 health points; and gain a BUFF, restore 1 health point every three seconds, lasting 15 minutes!

Huh???

Xu Shian didn't find the first half surprising, because that was written on the Cooking recipe: Satiety 30, restore 80 health points.

But the BUFF at the end wasn't written on it!

He looked at another portion!

【Grilled Delicious Little Fish】: Eat 60% of the whole food, and you will gain the effect: Satiety +30, restore 80 health points; and gain a BUFF, increase 10 physical defense, lasting 15 minutes!

Hiss...

Could it be?

【Skill 2】 Versatile Craftsmanship:

When crafting any item, it must carry an additional attribute. 【What's wrong with common grade equipment? Can't common grade equipment have Movement Speed +5%?】

When crafting any item, there is a 25% chance to trigger a critical hit, which guarantees double the yield.

Cooking counts too?

Xu Shian was filled with mixed emotions for a moment...

If it goes on like this, if you insist that this skill is not as good as a God-tier talent, I personally wouldn't agree!

As expected of an SSS-tier talent, this is practically a bug!

He ate two portions of delicious little fish in a row, finally bringing his satiety back to a healthy state...

After thinking about it, Xu Shian decided to prepare the food for the next few days here first!

He couldn't wait until the last minute like he did today.

Today, he was implicated by that 'Dashing and Elegant 278'!

He was courting death himself, causing Xu Shian to be unable to return to the Novice Village.

But he couldn't just let his stomach rumble with hunger again!

Thus, having eaten and drunk his fill, Xu Shian sat down and started to fish slowly!

【Congratulations on obtaining: Long-mouthed Loach *1, Fishing Skill +1】

【Congratulations on obtaining: Big Carp *1, Fishing Skill +1】

...

Friends who often come back empty-handed know that when it comes to fishing, time always passes especially quickly!

Two hours later, with a special notification, Xu Shian was finally persuaded out of this state of obsession!

【Congratulations on obtaining the achievement: 'Fish Throughout the Novice Village'; caught all species of fish in the Novice Village!】

Xu Shian was stunned and checked his backpack!

Good heavens, the twenty slots were almost full...

In two hours, his fishing skill had increased by a total of 21 points...

【Fishing (Beginner)】 (common skill)

【Skill: 39/75】

Actually, he had fished forty times in total, but once the skill reached a certain level, the fish caught in the Novice Village area could no longer support the increase of skill points!

Unless he caught something special!

Speaking of special, Xu Shian remembered that he hadn't used his other fishing skill yet!

【Skill 2】: Fisherman Never Misses!

Active Skill: After use, you can catch anything... Waterweed? Equipment? Monsters? BOSS? Mounts? Skill books? Even products from other worlds... Except for fish!

(The level and rarity of the caught items are related to luck and fishing skill proficiency!)

Since his fishing skill could no longer increase in the Novice Village, there was no point in waiting any longer...

Use skill: Fisherman Never Misses!

Then cast the rod!

Three minutes later...

【Ding, obtained item: Chain Boots, Chain Armor (rough)】

Xu Shian was speechless for a moment; the boots were a good thing, but unfortunately, they were grey rough items...

Keep them; at least he could sell them for some money; 58 Silver Coins wasn't a small amount.

After all, equipment like chain armor was the most valuable!

Continue casting!

Another three minutes passed...

【Ding, obtained item: Linen Bag】

【Ding, congratulations on triggering the special effect 'Bumper Harvest', you obtained three extra 'Linen Bags'】

Xu Shian: ?

【Linen Bag】

【common grade】

【8-slot container】

He quickly equipped the four Linen Bags gifted by nature; with thirty-two extra backpack slots, most of his problems were solved in one go!

Now, the dilemma of not having enough backpack space was gone!

Continue, continue! I feel like my luck is so hot right now!

Cast the rod!

Three minutes later!

After Xu Shian raised the rod, he only saw a yellow-green figure rushing over rapidly.

Xu Shian couldn't dodge in time and was hit the first time!

Then his head hurt, and he fell into a stunned state.

Before he could wake up from the stun, there was another pain, and then another!

【Ding, you have been killed by the BOSS, Merman Guard Kun Kai!】

【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the achievement: First Death in Life!】

【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the unique achievement: Dare to Be the First!】

Xu Shian: ...
