2: Second fishing trip

SSS-level?

Infinite Fishing?!

Even without understanding the meaning of SSS-level, seeing the words Infinite Fishing, Chen Ming immediately sat up from his bed, straightening his back.

Combined with the fact that Wang Wei, Yang Dong, and Li Tian had successfully extracted the rewards they fished in the game into the real world.

It's easy to imagine how precious a fishing opportunity is.

As a result, he started by fishing an SSS-level reward, gaining an Infinite Fishing opportunity!

Isn't this a guaranteed takeoff?

To prevent himself from misunderstanding, Chen Ming clicked to expand and view the details.

[SSS-level Infinite Fishing: After obtaining this skill, your fishing attempts will be unlimited, allowing you to fish for various rewards in the prize pool as you please! Note: SSS-grade Skills are unique!]

'Unique?'

If Chen Ming hadn't misunderstood, it probably meant that among the billions of people in the world, only one person could draw this skill, never to be repeated.

And that lucky person was himself!

Closing the reward notification, he could indeed see that the previously gray [Start Fishing] option had turned orange again, with no number of attempts displayed.

"Old Chen, why aren't you saying anything? What good stuff did you fish?" Wang Wei shifted his gaze from the tearful Yang Dong to Chen Ming, asking curiously.

"I haven't done it yet." No matter how good their relationship was on a normal day, Chen Ming didn't plan to tell anyone about his Infinite Fishing opportunity.

He knew very well that this software called Ten Thousand Realms Fishing would, without a doubt, change the entire world and attract official attention.

At that time, once the fact that he had Infinite Fishing opportunities was exposed, not to mention how the country would treat him.

Those foreign agents would most likely try everything to capture him and force him to fish for various resources for them endlessly, exploiting and brainwashing him…

Chen Ming didn't want to live a life of constant hiding and fear.

It was better to develop stealthily and keep a low profile.

"You try it too, what if you get a million or ten million? You won't have to do anything in the future, just lie flat," Li Tian said half-jokingly.

"It's not that easy," Chen Ming said, clicking the [Start Fishing] button.

He began his second fishing attempt in his life.

[Fishing in progress…]

The first fishing attempt seemed to be because it was the novice period, and the process was significantly simplified.

When Chen Ming performed his second fishing attempt, a QTE, also known as a Quick Time Event system, appeared.

In a gray rectangular box, there was a small, random green area, plus a pointer that moved rapidly back and forth.

And what the player needed to do was press the confirm button to stop the pointer in the colored area.

If it was within the area, it was considered a success; otherwise, it meant failure.

Even though he had Infinite Fishing opportunities, Chen Ming didn't plan to waste them.

He found the right timing and pressed confirm.

Perfect hit!

It had little to do with reaction speed; mainly, the pointer's movement speed wasn't that fast. You could easily complete it with a little concentration, it wasn't too difficult.

[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining desert eagle +1, pistol bullets +24 rounds!]

"…" Looking at the system prompt with white text on a black background that popped up, Chen Ming was stunned. He confirmed it several times.

He really didn't think what he had drawn would be a toy gun.

Most likely, it was the real deal!

"Old Chen, you don't look so good. Could it be that you've become unlucky like our dorm head and drew stockings or underwear?" Wang Wei asked while not forgetting to tease Yang Dong.

"…" Hearing this, Yang Dong's expression became even more depressed. Looking at the brand new, unused stockings in his hand with no strange smell, his mood was complicated.

"If they were used, maybe I could be a little interested," Li Tian said casually.

"Damn! Old Li, you're getting more and more perverted!" Wang Wei pushed Li Tian away with a look of disgust.

Soon, his gaze returned to Chen Ming, pressing, "So, Old Chen, what exactly did you fish?"

"A desert eagle, and 24 rounds of ammunition." Chen Ming turned to look at Wang Wei, not hiding anything.

"…" Li Tian.

"…" Wang Wei.

"…" Yang Dong.

The three of them fell silent on the spot.

"Are you kidding us?" Wang Wei asked with a forced smile.

Chen Ming knew he would say that, so he opened the system inventory and clicked on the desert eagle icon in the grid.

[Extract desert eagle? Note: After extraction, it can still be put back into the inventory for storage at any time!]

Chen Ming clicked [Yes].

[Extracting…]

[Extraction successful!]

The next second, a kraft paper box fell out of thin air beside Chen Ming.

It had the same texture as a delivery box, square and neat.

Watching Chen Ming pick up the paper box, place it on his lap, and open it.

"Gulp!"

The three of them made the same movement, their Adam's apples moving, swallowing their saliva.

"Holy crap! It's real?!" When they saw Chen Ming take out the pistol wrapped in a plastic dust bag from the box, the three of them completely lost their composure and stood up in a flash.

Bang!

Wang Wei, due to being too excited, even hit his head on the bed frame.

"Hiss!" He quickly rubbed his hair with his hand to ease the pain, his expression contorted.

"Is it the real deal?" Li Tian was the first to come up to Chen Ming, confirming.

Chen Ming took the pistol out of the dust bag and weighed it in his hand, "It's quite heavy, probably the real deal."

After some fiddling, he took out the magazine, which was filled with golden bullets.

"Holy crap! Old Yang, quickly close the door, don't let anyone see, call the police and get Old Chen arrested." The moment he saw the bullets, Li Tian quickly turned to Yang Dong.

Yang Dong immediately did as he was told.

"I have a premonition that this world is going to change drastically! You'd better be careful." Chen Ming stood up, not planning to stay at school any longer, and planned to return home first.

"Hey! Old Chen, where are you going?" Li Tian asked.

[Collect desert eagle?]

"Home, school isn't necessarily safe."

While answering Li Tian, Chen Ming casually selected [Yes].

Without waiting for Li Tian to speak again, he quickly left and disappeared from their sight…

"Damn! Only got a pair of socks! What kind of bad luck is this!"

"That's fine, I'm worse off than you, a pack of tissues."

"Hahaha, I fished a motorcycle!"

"Too bad there's only one chance, it's annoying. The task system doesn't seem to be open yet, so I can't level up by completing tasks and increase my fishing attempts."

…

On the way out of school, everyone around him was holding their phones, discussing the Ten Thousand Realms Fishing software.

The news that the rewards from Ten Thousand Realms Fishing could be extracted into reality spread much faster than Chen Ming had imagined.

"I drew a… Golden Retriever?"

Golden Retriever?

Hearing this, Chen Ming stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a girl, and she clicked the extraction option.

Then, a Golden Retriever really appeared beside her.

The girl was very happy, she liked it very much, and squatted down to pet the Golden Retriever.

But Chen Ming, who saw this heartwarming scene, only felt his scalp tingle.

If he remembered correctly, the system had said that the fishing rewards came from the myriad realms.

Since living creatures like Golden Retrievers could be fished out, would other terrifying, untamed, bloodthirsty… monsters that surpassed human understanding appear?

The Golden Retriever with a highly healing smile, at this moment in Chen Ming's eyes, had become an extremely dangerous signal!
