35: Two-headed zombie dog

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A-grade skill: Drawing Sword Technique!]

[A-grade skill Drawing Sword Technique: With consecutive draws, your next drawing attack power will +1!]

"..." Seeing that he had consecutively fished three skills, Chen Ming fell silent.

Two answers were first ruled out in his mind.

One was that his luck was off the charts.

The other was coincidence.

As the saying goes, lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, nor does it strike thrice.

He determined that this was the benefit of the new version of Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

Obviously, the Fishing System also knew that once the novice protection mechanism was lifted, many people would die.

So it gave them a hope of survival, increasing the probability of obtaining skills.

And he benefited from the enhancement of the SSS-grade Skill, his chance of obtaining treasures was already high, and now with the added base probability, he was practically a Child of Destiny!

"It seems that the SSS-level Infinite Fishing skill will bring me much more improvement in the future!"

Chen Ming had always felt that he was quite unlucky.

Now it seemed that he wasn't unlucky, but rather had saved all his luck for fishing the [SSS-level Infinite Fishing] skill.

The hardships he endured before were not in vain! Not in vain!

It was a case of hardship coming to an end and good times beginning!

The next second after thinking this, he was slapped in the face.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! You have been targeted by misfortune, and fished a two-headed Zombie Dog! It wants to bite off your neck right now!]

"..." Chen Ming didn't find the Fishing System's words humorous at all, where was the humor?

[Please decide on a countermeasure and hiding place within one minute, the two-headed Zombie Dog is about to be released! Note: You can also choose to release it proactively!]

Chen Ming used iris recognition, plus fingerprint recognition on the doorknob, pressed his thumb, which fit the gesture, pressed down, and opened the courtyard door.

After confirming the location, within five to six meters from the gate, he clicked to release the two-headed Zombie Dog.

The Void Gate opened, and a creature with two heads, severely rotten all over, with even blackened flesh and blood visible, as well as the stark white color of bones, appeared.

Its eyes became hollow and lifeless, leaving only endless darkness and deep hunger.

Putrid matter oozed from deep within its skin, emitting a suffocating stench!

The moment the two-headed Zombie Dog was released, it targeted Chen Ming almost without hesitation, and charged towards him.

Chen Ming was not unprepared, he was already holding a Shotgun in his hand.

He held the magazine tube with one hand, raised the gun body with the other, and his index finger was ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

Seeing the two-headed Zombie Dog's teeth so rotten they couldn't close, saliva splashing everywhere, charging towards him.

The moment it leaped up, Chen Ming raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A flash of sparks erupted from the muzzle, and the Shotgun's powerful recoil was offset by Chen Ming's brute force.

The two-headed Zombie Dog screamed and was sent flying three to four meters away.

One head was shattered by Chen Ming.

The other head also suffered damage, large chunks of flesh were blown away, and half of its skull was exposed to the air.

In its eye sockets, one could see fat white maggots wriggling madly towards the eyeballs after encountering light, scrambling to burrow inside.

This scene, if seen by someone with trypophobia, would definitely make their scalp tingle.

The Zombie Dog shook its head, seemingly feeling no pain.

It attacked Chen Ming fiercely again.

Chen Ming pulled the magazine tube, unlocked, extracted the shell, and ejected the shell.

Then pushed forward, completing the reload and locking.

Seizing the moment the Zombie Dog leaped and couldn't dodge, he aimed at the other head and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot turned the two-headed Zombie Dog into a headless Zombie Dog.

The corpse was blown three to four meters away, motionless.

Thanks to the S-Rank Firearms Mastery skill, even though it was Chen Ming's first time using a gun to duel a monster, he was like a seasoned professional Hunter.

"It seems that these monsters infected by the Zombie virus, like Zombies, will die as long as their brains are destroyed."

Chen Ming was not in a hurry to step forward, he raised the Shotgun in his hand and aimed at the headless Zombie Dog's corpse.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive shots blew the Zombie Dog's corpse to smithereens.

Years of gaming experience taught him the importance of finishing blows.

"Speaking of which, is there no reward for hunting monsters?" Chen Ming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He closed the door and returned to the pavilion built with a grape trellis.

He casually placed the Shotgun on the wooden table beside him, and then picked up his phone.

Chen Ming lay down and opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

[Congratulations on completing a new task, you can claim rewards! Click to view details!]

Chen Ming clicked [Click to view details] as the Fishing System instructed.

He went to the task interface.

[Task: Hunt an Elite monster, Task Status: Completed, Task Reward: Three fishing opportunities (one-time, not included in the daily updated total fishing count)]

"Three fishing opportunities? Are you kidding me? Infinite plus three, isn't that still infinite!" Chen Ming said speechlessly.

Complaining was complaining, but he still claimed the task reward, because in addition to the insignificant rewards, there was also experience.

Chen Ming's Fishing Level increased to lv4!

Leveling up not only increased fishing attempts but also randomly increased attributes.

However, they were all 0.1, far less than the attribute points Chen Ming had fished.

Thinking that accumulating small amounts is not bad, anyway, don't take what you don't get for free.

[Claim successful! Congratulations on obtaining three fishing opportunities, Note: As the host has unlimited fishing opportunities, these three fishing opportunities will increase the reward quality!]

"It will increase the reward quality! That's more like it." Chen Ming was satisfied and no longer had complaints.

It was equivalent to having guaranteed high-quality rewards for the next three fishing attempts!

Without further delay, Chen Ming prepared to fish immediately.

However, he suddenly noticed that next to the [Start Fishing] button, there was an extra option to switch to virtual reality mode.

"Virtual reality mode? What does that mean?" Chen Ming's curiosity was successfully piqued.

He clicked to try it.

Then, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Ming found himself standing before a lake, sitting alone on a fishing platform!

He held a bamboo fishing rod in his hand, which looked slightly cheap.

The distant mountain and river scenery, and the nearby overgrown weeds, were simply too real!

"Is it VR?" Chen Ming tried to explain using words he could understand.

"So, what do I need to do next? Just cast the rod?" He wasn't sure.

The system didn't give an answer either.

"Never mind, let's try it first." Chen Ming raised the fishing rod and swung it out forcefully.

Plop!

The originally calm water surface rippled outwards in circles.

A gentle breeze carrying the scent of soil brushed lightly against Chen Ming's face.

This feeling, not to mention, was quite pleasant.

After dozens of seconds, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank.

Chen Ming quickly gripped it tightly with all ten fingers, just as he was about to pull up.

He saw a large mini-game interface appear at the location where the hook had landed.

The pointer swung back and forth.

"Does that mean I can only pull the rod when the pointer reaches the hit area?"

Chen Ming joked, "The ancestral method really can't be changed, you like this setting so much?"
