A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 197 Mutant Fish

Li Wei and his team quickly arrived in Benin, Africa, in their spaceship.

"Go pick up Shanna first, and come find me here later." But just as they were about to arrive at the town where the Valson family lived, Li Wei suddenly said.

"Huh? What are you going to do now?" Tony asked, puzzled.

"Nothing much happened, I'm just going fishing!" Li Wei said.

Li Wei's words left everyone on the spaceship completely bewildered.

However, Li Wei did not offer any further explanation. Instead, he opened the portal and disappeared from the spaceship.

Seeing Levi leave, Natasha and Yelena, who were piloting the spaceship, looked at Tony.

“Why are you all looking at me? Go pick up that girl, Victor must have something important to do,” Tony said.

“Um…is it possible that Victor really just wanted to fish?” Skye, sitting in the observer’s seat, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the cockpit turned their attention to her.

“He was indeed fishing by that lake down there!” Skye said, pointing to the spaceship’s external monitoring display panel in front of her.

Upon hearing her say that, Tony immediately went over and looked at the panel. There really was Levi by a lake below the spaceship, fishing with a fishing rod that appeared out of nowhere.

Tony was speechless.

So when they said they were fishing, they really were fishing?

That's not right. In his memory, this kid should hate fishing. Tony had invited Levi to go fishing on a yacht before, but the other guy's aversion to fishing was obvious.

What's going on here?
"You guys go find Shanna first, I'll go see what's wrong with him." Tony sighed and touched his face, then left the cockpit, put on his suit, and flew towards Levi's location.

Seeing this, Natasha shook her head helplessly and piloted the spaceship to continue flying towards the jungle town where the Varson family lived.

"Wait, we're about to set off, what are you suddenly doing fishing for?" Tony, dressed in his battle suit, landed by the lake and asked Levi, who was fishing with a rod.

"Shh... It's here!" Li Wei gestured for him to calm down, and then the next second, he lifted the fishing rod and caught a fish with an extremely strange appearance.

Moreover, as soon as the fish was caught, a warning came from Jarvis inside Tony's suit.

This fish... has excessive radiation levels.

"You're not targeting this kind of fish, are you? Good heavens, the radiation is close to 500 millisieverts? Why are you fishing for this fish?" Tony, who had his mask on, quickly closed it after detecting the nuclear radiation content of the fish and asked Levi in ​​astonishment.

A dose of 500 millisieverts of nuclear radiation, while not enough to cause direct harm to humans, is sufficient to begin killing white blood cells in the body.

Similarly, the fish's bizarre appearance is clearly caused by nuclear radiation.

As for why such severe nuclear radiation would occur in underdeveloped Benin, Tony wasn't surprised.

Because this country was desperately poor in the past, it offered to help Russia dispose of nuclear waste in order to make money.

Upon hearing the news, the other four of the five major nuclear powers, excluding the Eastern countries, all transported their nuclear waste to Benin for disposal.

How could impoverished and underdeveloped Benin possibly possess genuine processing technology?

So what they call "treatment" is actually just simple landfilling.

According to the information Jarvis found, the area where this lake was originally located was a landfill.

Therefore, it is not surprising to find fish with excessive nuclear radiation.

He just didn't understand why Li Wei wanted this kind of fish.
"What else can we do? Eat, of course!" Li Wei said with a strange laugh.

"Are you crazy or am I crazy? Eating this?" Tony's eyes widened upon hearing this.

He said he couldn't understand it at all.

"Oh, you'll see when the time comes, and you don't need to worry so much. This level of nuclear radiation does have a significant impact on the health of ordinary people, but for us, the impact is negligible!" Li Wei explained.

Titan's Compound has a comprehensive effect on improving physical fitness.

Therefore, their resistance to nuclear radiation is far superior to that of ordinary people. The harmless dose of nuclear radiation that ordinary people can withstand is below 100 millisieverts.

Li Wei and his group could tolerate at least 1000 millisieverts of radiation.

As for why Li Wei suddenly ran down to fish for this strange-looking fish that also contained nuclear radiation.

The reason is actually very simple.

Just now, when the spaceship flew over this lake, his minimap marked several fishing spots at the lake's location.

These fishing spots are called "mutant fish schools".

In his early years, Li Wei did indeed dislike fishing for a long time because of his experience in the air force.

As a result, his fishing skill remained at 10 points for quite some time.

Even after discovering the wilderness, when I sometimes got bored with mining and gathering herbs, I tried fishing.

Therefore, my fishing skill has now barely increased to a little over 170 points.

Although not very high, it was still a successful unlock of the skill to search for fishing spots—unlike the earlier versions of the game where the skill book "The Weathered Diary" was required to learn it.

When his fishing skill reaches 100 points, the system automatically unlocks the ability to search for fishing spots.

That's why the location of these "mutated fish" was visible when the spaceship flew over the lake.

As for why Li Wei attaches so much importance to this fishing spot...

Well, it was just for fun.

In the game, these mutated fish can produce strange and special effects simply by being eaten directly.

For example, the positive effect of "Mental Fortitude" can increase the mental attribute by 5 points for half an hour.
Alternatively, you can obtain a minor Rejuvenation spell, restoring 45 health every 3 seconds.

The effect called "Encouragement" restores 396 health points to the user.

There are also some fun negative effects.

For example, it can give a person a curse effect that makes them smaller, like drinking a shrinking potion, while also reducing their stamina and strength attributes slightly.

For example, you can get a drowsy effect, forcing your character to sleep for 10 seconds.

For example, the Party Curse makes your character sing, dance, and even flap their wings like a hen.

It can also reverse your keyboard and mouse cursors—meaning if you want to move your character left, they will move right.

Of course, there is also a very simple effect, which is poisoning, but it is not very harmful.

After being cooked, the mutated fish can be processed into a special food called "Delicious Wind Serpent".

The main effect of this thing is quite obvious.

It can transform people.

Normally, it can transform a person into a pirate or ninja for up to an hour.

极小的概率可以让人变成软泥怪10秒，或者战士职业立刻得到20-40怒气，或者快速施法2分钟(所有施法时间减半)、恐惧(乱跑5秒)、5分钟假死、立即生命全满等效果。

Overall, this is a highly entertaining food in the game.

Due to factors such as high consumption and low production, the price in the game has remained consistently high.

It's something that every Warcraft player loves.

Previously, Li Wei had no idea where "mutant fish" existed on Earth, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now that we've discovered it, we can't let it go.

He was also very curious about what kind of strange effects would occur if he ate the mutated fish or the "delicious wind snake" in real life.
