God of Pets

Chapter 231 The Lucky Fishing Novice
"I have sold all the Evil Luck Koi, so I can't show them to you," said Lao Mo.

"What's the point of selling a pet that can increase good luck?" Chen Guan was a little surprised.

"The increase in good luck is limited, and only one can be effective. It's the same when I use the Ghost Fortune Koi."

Lao Mo smiled and continued, "Besides, I'm not a gambler. I'm just standing guard honestly. There's no point in having that thing. Don't you know how valuable it is? I sold one for 200,000. Wouldn't that be better to use that money to buy elixirs and improve my strength? Why would I want it? It doesn't guarantee that a pet will be produced. It's too much of a gamble."

"That makes sense. You see things clearly." Chen Guan said with a smile.

"But everyone's situation is different. You're still young, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to venture out in the future. Just like when you went to gamble with the Eight Kings, if you had a lucky koi, your chances of winning would be even higher. But you've already won, and your luck is excellent, so it doesn't matter whether you have a koi or not."

"Are there any koi that are unique or of exceptional quality?" Chen Guan didn't want to talk about this and changed the subject.

"There should be, but I've never caught one. I've seen all kinds of koi, some transparent like ghosts, some shimmering with golden light, some as huge as whales, and all sorts of mysterious koi. There are definitely some unique or world-beating ones, but my rod and line aren't strong enough, so I can't catch many of them."

Lao Mo handed a box to Chen Guan as he spoke. "This is a Level 1 Mystical Ironback Worm. Koi love it, so use this to catch it. My spare rod can withstand tens of thousands of pounds of force, so it's enough for catching ordinary koi. However, if you encounter a giant koi, or a koi of very high quality, it won't work. Koi with bad luck are rare Mystical Spirits, at least Level 18, and are quite large, so it's difficult to catch them with this rod. If you encounter a long-lived Koi with bad luck, one that can grow to over a thousand pounds, they'll be even more powerful and likely a higher level, so this rod will most likely break."

"However, it's not easy to encounter the Evil Luck Koi. Not to mention the Evil Luck Koi, even the Ghost Wealth Koi is not that easy to encounter. You are a novice, it's good enough if you can catch the Soul-Charming Koi." Lao Mo said, sitting down at the fishing spot next to him, and demonstrating to Chen Guan how to put on the bait and how to cast the hook.

Chen Guan imitated Lao Mo, took the fishing rod and put the iron-backed worm on the hook, then imitated Lao Mo and threw the hook into the river.

"I also fished in the river when I was a child, and I caught a big black fish weighing more than 20 kilograms." Chen Guan chatted with Lao Mo.

"Fishing outside is different from here." Lao Mo curled his lips. How could ordinary fish be compared with the secret koi?

Besides, Lao Mo could tell at a glance that Chen Guan’s technique was unprofessional and the fishing spot he chose was also not good.

Of course, Lao Mo has already chosen the best fishing spot himself. As long as he is there, this fishing spot will definitely not be given to anyone else.

Moreover, Lao Mo had already prepared a bait in advance, and Chen Guan had not done so either, so the chance of catching anything was not high.

Lao Mo planned to tell Chen Guan about these experiences and skills later, so as not to say too much at once and he would not take it to heart.

Chen Guan didn't really want to fish. He just sat there, looking at the fishing rod while practicing a secret method to digest and absorb the pills he had taken.

"Hey, there is a golden-eyed turtle over there. It looks very big." Lao Mo stood up and said while gazing at the churning Yellow Spring River in the distance.

"What is a golden-eyed turtle?" Chen Guan also stood up and looked into the river, but he did not see the golden-eyed turtle that Lao Mo mentioned.

"It disappeared again. I just saw a flash of light from the golden-eyed turtle's eyes. I only saw some of the part exposed above the water. I estimated that the golden-eyed turtle must weigh more than a thousand kilograms. Such a large golden-eyed turtle is rare..." Lao Mo explained, "Golden-eyed turtle is a common name. Its real name is Golden-eyed Iron-armored Turtle. It is a rare secret spirit with levels ranging from more than ten to more than twenty levels. The longer it lives, the bigger its body is, and the higher its level is. A golden-eyed turtle weighing more than a thousand kilograms must be at least level twenty-five. It is too rare. If you see it, put away your rod, otherwise it will easily bite off the fishing line." The two continued fishing, and soon there was movement from Lao Mo's side. He quickly lifted the rod and directly pulled out a big red koi that was more than a foot long out of the water.

"This is the soul-bewitching koi. It's so small, probably only about level two or three." Lao Mo held the rod in one hand and took out a knife in the other. With one stroke, he cut the koi that was swinging over into two pieces.

In the end, there was nothing. Lao Mo took the koi carp corpse off the hook and threw it back into the river. "Luck is like this. Only a very small number of koi carp can produce something. Most of them have nothing. Fishing requires patience. You can't expect to catch a big fish in one bite. That kind of thing is unrealistic..."

As Lao Mo was speaking, he saw movement from Chen Guan's side. Chen Guan hurriedly lifted the rod, but he failed to pull the fish out of the water. The rod made of the secret spiritual material was bent into a bow shape.

"Don't use force, let out the line, let it go, it's a big fish, don't let it break the rod..." Lao Mo quickly commanded.

Chen Guan also knew a little bit and was not a complete novice. He quickly let out the line and fished according to what Lao Mo said.

When the fish pulled hard, Chen Guan let out the line. When the fish's strength decreased a little, Chen Guan reeled in the line, always keeping the fish moving. After a while, he saw ripples on the surface of the river, and a large koi with black, white and red patterns showed its back.

“Ghost Fortune Koi… you are really lucky… it’s the first time I come here to fish… and you actually caught a Ghost Fortune Koi… hold on… hold on… don’t be anxious… give it a try… it must weigh at least a hundred pounds judging by its size… it’s a big fish…” Lao Mo said as he took out the harpoon, ready to wait until the Ghost Fortune Koi got tired so he could stab it to death.

After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, so he took the fishing rod from Chen Guan and handed him the harpoon: "I'll help you reel in the fish, and you find the right opportunity to kill it."

Chen Guan took the harpoon, saw the opportunity, and when the Ghost Fortune Koi had no strength left, he threw the harpoon and pierced its body directly.

"The chance of Ghost Fortune Koi giving out pets is very small, so don't hold out too much hope..." Lao Mo said as he reeled in the line.

But the next second, particles of various colors flew from the body of the stabbed koi and gathered towards Chen Guan, and he turned into a pet.

This made Lao Mo stunned. He was surprised and happy and said, "You are really lucky. You actually got a pet."

Chen Guan himself was a little surprised, as he had never been so lucky before.

Chen Guan pulled the line to retrieve the harpoon that fell into the river. As he was pulling, he suddenly saw a huge golden-eyed black-shelled turtle floating out of the river in the distance. Its size was so shocking that it was probably as big as a truck.

It looked over here, nodded in the direction of Chen Guan, then flicked its tail and disappeared.

"Oh my god... what a big golden-eyed turtle... it must weigh tens of thousands of pounds..." Lao Mo saw the scene where the tail of the golden-eyed black-shelled turtle finally entered the water. After making a rough judgment, he was stunned in shock. This was the first time he saw such a big golden-eyed turtle.

Chen Guan thought to himself, "That's more than tens of thousands of pounds."
