1: Fishing in all worlds, start at SSS level!

Damn! The hard days are finally over.

Log on, log on! Today, I, the jungle king, will definitely carry you all to victory and get you to Master tier!

There are only four of us. Who wants to invite a girl for a five-man team? Preferably someone with a mature voice, that way I'll be motivated to output damage.

...

As soon as I got back to the dorm, I heard three roommates had already decided on their roles.

Chen Ming lay down on his bed and skillfully took out his phone.

Playing a couple of 5v5 competitive games after class every day had become a regular pastime for him and his roommates, mainly because there weren't many good games recently.

"Old Chen, still playing mid?" The dorm leader, Yang Dong, looked at Chen Ming.

"Yeah, I only play mages." In reality, Chen Ming truly preferred mages, and his reason for not wanting to practice other roles was that even if his economy lagged slightly, he could still deal high burst damage.

As he spoke, he took out his phone. Just as he entered the system via facial recognition, he saw that his desktop, which should have been full of folders, suddenly had an extra application named "Ten Thousand Realms Fishing".

"Ten Thousand Realms Fishing?" Chen Ming frowned slightly, unable to recall when he had downloaded such an application.

He figured it was most likely rogue software.

He long-pressed, intending to delete it.

However, the only options that appeared were "Move Location" and "Open".

Unable to delete!

'Are virus software this powerful now?'

Chen Ming felt suspicious.

Immediately after, he heard Yang Dong and the others expressing similar confusion.

"What is this thing? Why can't I uninstall it? Did I get a virus?"

"I have this thing on my phone too, it's called Ten Thousand Realms Fishing. Seems like a fishing game?"

"Same here, can't find the uninstall option at all!"

Driven by curiosity.

Chen Ming clicked to launch it, deciding to find out what it was.

First, the screen went black, then lines of text scrolled into view.

[You have successfully activated Ten Thousand Realms Fishing!]

[Please note! This is not merely a game or virus software. You can obtain various generous rewards that can change reality through fishing opportunities in the game. They come from the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms!]

[Fishing and completing tasks can earn experience for leveling up. The higher your level, the greater the number of fishing attempts and the higher the fishing success rate! Note: Fishing opportunities reset daily at midnight!]

[Please note! This software cannot be deleted, and only the authenticated host can open it. If your device is lost, please do not worry, you can reactivate the "Ten Thousand Realms Fishing" app on other electronic devices!]

Click Confirm.

It was still white text on a black background.

[Please name your character: Fisherman 3472812!]

Chen Ming was very curious if this number meant that over three million people had already activated this fishing software before him.

[Confirm naming as "I Just Want to Fish Quietly"?]

Click [Yes]

[You have successfully named yourself "I Just Want to Fish Quietly"!]

Chen Ming didn't think too much about this rogue software, not wanting to waste brain cells.

He just wanted to quickly figure out what this Ten Thousand Realms Fishing thing was, and what secrets it held.

Entering the main interface, it was much simpler than Chen Ming had imagined.

A 2D lake surface, a pair of hands holding a red fishing rod, and an option directly below named [Start Fishing, Attempts +1].

In the upper left corner was Chen Ming's personal information.

[Name: I Just Want to Fish Quietly]

[Level: LV1]

In the upper right corner were only two icons: [Tasks] [Inventory].

It was even lower quality than the mini-games Chen Ming remembered from WeChat Moments.

Just as Chen Ming was about to click on fishing, his roommate Wang Wei's cheerful laughter rang out beside him, "Hahaha, guess what I fished? A thousand yuan! This is such a stupid game, I can't continue after fishing once."

"Fished out a thousand yuan from fishing? Is the person who made this game thinking with their feet?" The last roommate, named Li Tian, couldn't help but complain.

"Holy crap! There's even a withdrawal option. Do you guys think I can actually withdraw it?" Wang Wei asked.

"Money doesn't fall from the sky, don't mess around," Yang Dong reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'll just try," Wang Wei said, and had already pressed the withdrawal option.

He had expected to see a phishing link asking him to bind his identity and bank card.

Who would have thought, a new notification popped up: [You have successfully withdrawn!]

"Are they fooling kids? I didn't even bind a bank card, how did I withdraw? Alien technology?" Wang Wei had just finished complaining.

A text message pop-up reminder slid down from the top of the screen.

[Jiang City Bank: Your account ending in 0966 has received a transfer, amount: 1000...]

"What the f*ck?!" Wang Wei was instantly energized and sat up from his bed.

"What's up? You're not going to say it actually arrived, are you?" Li Tian, who was sitting next to him, teased.

"What if I say yes?"

Just as Li Tian was about to mock him, he saw Wang Wei hand his phone over.

Looking at the screen, it was indeed a transfer message, the amount was exactly one thousand, no more, no less.

The transaction party was shown as: Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

"Could it be casting a long line to catch a big fish? Are scam companies this generous now? Aren't they afraid of losing even their underwear in the end?" Li Tian said, puzzled.

"No! It's not a scam, I just said, I didn't bind a bank card at all." As soon as Wang Wei said this, the atmosphere in the entire dorm immediately changed, carrying a hint of strangeness.

"I'll try!" Li Tian withdrew his thoughts, pressed the fishing option, and used up his fishing attempt.

"What did you get?" Wang Wei quickly leaned in and asked.

"A Bluetooth earphone," Li Tian replied.

"A Bluetooth earphone?" Wang Wei really wanted to know, "How would something like that be delivered? Could it be that this software can even locate us?"

"How would I know..." Midway through his sentence, Li Tian's expression changed drastically. He raised his hand and spread his five fingers, and in his palm appeared a small plastic box.

He opened it, and inside were indeed a pair of Bluetooth earphones.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys aren't teaming up to trick me, are you?" Wang Wei's smile was forced.

He just felt it was getting weirder and weirder, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

"I'm not that bored." Li Tian swallowed his saliva, also covered in goosebumps.

Yang Dong remained silent, his gaze returning to his phone, and clicked on fishing.

Noticing his action, Wang Wei was just about to ask what Yang Dong had fished, when he saw a piece of black cloth fall from above his head.

To be precise, it was a... stocking.

What was important wasn't the stocking itself, but that Wang Wei, Li Tian, and including Chen Ming, the three of them clearly noticed that the stocking had appeared out of thin air!

They were absolutely certain Yang Dong didn't do it. If he truly had this ability, he could definitely become the world's top master magician; it would be impossible for anyone to find a flaw.

Chen Ming withdrew his thoughts from Yang Dong, looking at the remaining fishing attempt on his screen.

He wanted to personally verify whether this fishing game was real or fake.

Click Fishing!

[Fishing in progress...]

The graphics were simple, but the process of casting the rod and fishing was complete, even with splash effects.

[Fishing in progress...]

However, this fishing process was clearly longer than everyone else's.

'Is it a bug?'

Just as Chen Ming was thinking this.

The text in the box finally changed.

[Fishing successful! Congratulations on obtaining SSS-grade Skill: Infinite Fishing!]
