fishing?

Seeing the dimensional merchant's nonchalant demeanor, Jiang Yan was completely unconvinced and immediately probed, "I didn't expect you to enjoy fishing too. To be honest, my childhood dream has been to become the King of Sea Fishing! How about I join you for some fishing, so we can keep each other company?"

The interdimensional merchant narrowed his eyes slightly: "Of course, but the fish here are different from those outside. You have to use my specially made fishing rod to catch them."

He actually agreed... Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

Just then, the interdimensional merchant suddenly cast his line and caught a two-headed ribbonfish, whose body was covered with snake scales.

Jiang Yan subconsciously stared at the strange ribbonfish:

Two-headed snakefish (ancient species): ...

Health Points: …………

"Ancient species?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.

The plague rats, snakes, and demonized mine zombies he encountered in the ancient mine were all, unsurprisingly, monsters from a thousand years ago. Yet, none of them had the prefix "Ancient Species." And this fish...

The interdimensional merchant glanced at Jiang Yan, then placed the two-headed snakefish into the fish basket, saying, "Jiang Taigong, the history of this ocean dates back 50,000 years, and it is home to many ancient species of fish. Without my specially made fishing rod, you won't be able to catch them!"

"An ocean from 50,000 years ago, ancient species, a specially made fishing rod..." Jiang Yan clicked his tongue in amazement and asked, "Interdimensional merchant, how much does that fishing rod cost?"

"My business has always been fair and honest!" The dimensional merchant glanced at him, then swept his left hand across the screen, and a virtual interface appeared before Jiang Yan's eyes, but it only showed six items.

1. Fishing Rod (Dark Gold): 300,000 Gold

2. Fish Bait (Dark Gold): 200,000 Gold

3. Fish Basket (Dark Gold) *50: 250,000 Gold

4. Fishing Rod (Spirit-grade): Three Million Gold

5. Fish Bait (Spirit-level): Two million gold

6. Fish Basket (Spirit-level) *50: 2.5 million gold

Looking at the prices, Jiang Yan's lips twitched. This guy is treating me like a pig to be slaughtered!

A fishing rod, bait, and fish basket of Dark Gold quality are priced at a whopping 750,000 gold!

The Spirit level directly increases tenfold, to 7.5 million gold!

Although Jiang Yan was already rich, he only had a total of 24 million gold coins in his backpack, which was only enough to buy three sets of spirit-level fishing tackle!

"What, you think it's too expensive?" The interdimensional merchant glanced at him sideways. "If you can't afford it, then get out of here and don't spoil my fun."

Oh, so in the end you just want to get rid of me... Jiang Yan laughed, "It is indeed a bit expensive, but if it's worth the price, I won't be stingy. Dimensional merchant, could you explain these fishing tackle to me?"

The interdimensional merchant chuckled, "It's simple. Dark gold grade fishing tackle can catch bosses below dark gold grade, and spirit grade fishing tackle can catch bosses below spirit grade. How about it, want to try your luck? If you can catch a spirit grade boss, I'll trade you a spirit grade piece of equipment."

"That sounds pretty good." Jiang Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

If we can actually catch a Spirit-level BOSS, we don't need to sell it. We can just call Little East Evil and Good Luck over. With their talents, they might be able to drop two pieces of Spirit-level equipment!

But... Jiang Yan asked curiously, "Interdimensional Merchant, I once faced a Spirit-level BOSS head-on. The opponent was extremely powerful, far beyond my ability to contend with. If I catch one with this fishing rod, will I really be safe?"

"Don't worry, my fishing rod and basket have sealing power, and the bait is specially made. Your worries are just unnecessary." The interdimensional merchant said confidently.

Jiang Yan's gaze swept across the dark deep sea, the dimensional merchant fishing calmly, and the fish basket at his feet, finally landing on the purchase interface.

Give it a try. This ancient ocean is so vast; if you actually manage to catch a spirit-level BOSS, you'll be set for life.

Maybe he could even catch a Yellow Dragon. Although the Yellow Dragon is a divine beast, it is still a minor... Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and spent 7.5 million gold coins to buy a set of spirit-grade fishing tackle!

The interdimensional merchant laughed, "As expected, you're very wealthy. Since you've bought it, let's go fishing together."

"It would be impolite to refuse!" Jiang Yan took out a fishing rod, a fish basket, and bait from his backpack and checked the properties of these three items.

【Fishing Rod】(Spirit-level): Can be used to fish for fish below the Spirit-level BOSS.

【Fish Basket】(Spirit Level): Can seal fish below the Spirit Level BOSS.

[Fish Bait] (Spirit Level) *50: Can lure fish below the Spirit Level BOSS.

There were 50 portions of bait in total. Jiang Yan took out one portion, hung it on the fishing hook, and then cast the hook into the sea.

"A newcomer?" The interdimensional merchant had been watching Jiang Yan's movements closely, and when he saw that Jiang Yan was clumsy, he couldn't help but smile.

"I guess so, but I did fish for a while when I was a kid," Jiang Yan replied casually, then focused intently on the fishing float.

A moment later, the float sank, and Jiang Yan quickly pulled the rod, catching a sea snake as thick as an arm!

The sea snake struggled desperately under the fishing hook, but as the sealing power of the fishing rod increased, its struggles gradually disappeared, and it was left half-dead, hanging motionless in mid-air.

Ghost Serpent: ...

Health Points: ...

"Not an ancient species?" Jiang Yan frowned after reading the sea serpent's attributes.

"Although this ocean is an ancient ocean, not all the fish in it are ancient species," the dimensional merchant laughed.

Jiang Yan frowned even more deeply. He put the ghost snake in the fish basket and then continued fishing.

Over the next hour, Jiang Yan caught more than twenty fish, all of which were five levels higher than him. However, they were all ordinary fish, not to mention spirit-level BOSSes, he didn't even catch a single ancient species!

Jiang Yan only had thirteen portions of the Spirit-grade [Fish Bait] left!

Jiang Yan's face darkened: "Dimensional merchant, I feel like I've been scammed!"

"Hahahaha..." The interdimensional merchant laughed loudly, "Jiang Taigong, I'm a businessman, not a swindler. If you can't catch ancient species and spirit-level BOSSes, it's because you're not capable enough, it has nothing to do with my fishing gear!"

is it?

Jiang Yan snorted coldly, then pretended to be unwilling and continued fishing. Soon, he used up the last thirteen portions of bait and only caught seven ordinary fish.

Looking at the pile of broken fish and shrimp in the fish basket, Jiang Yan exclaimed as if he were possessed, "I'm going to buy more Spirit-grade [bait]! I refuse to believe I can't catch ancient species and Spirit-grade BOSSes!"

"Jiang Taigong, I believe in you!" With that, the interdimensional merchant waved his hand, and a list immediately appeared before Jiang Yan's eyes.

Although it hurt, Jiang Yan still spent five million gold coins to buy ten portions of [Fish Bait] (Spirit-grade) *50!

The interdimensional merchant's eyes gleamed when he saw Jiang Yan's generosity.

However, in the next instant, Jiang Yan neatly and efficiently put away his fishing rod and the fish basket containing more than thirty fish.

The dimensional merchant frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "You just bought so much bait, and you're leaving already?"

Jiang Yan laughed and said, "As you can see, I'm really not good at fishing, so I'm planning to hire some help."

"Foreign aid?" The dimensional merchant frowned more and more deeply.

"It's the person you asked about at the beginning," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"At the beginning... what was that Brother Zhou?" The interdimensional merchant asked with a serious expression.

Jiang Yan nodded: "That's right, my brother Zhou here is a seasoned fisherman. Even the end of the world can't stop him from fishing. I think only he can catch ancient species and spirit-level BOSSes, right?"

The interdimensional merchant spoke in an unfriendly tone: "Jiang Taigong, have you thought this through? This ancient ocean is extremely valuable. Aren't you afraid of exposing this place by letting others in?"

Jiang Yan glanced at him and smiled, "Don't be afraid."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan took out a golden [Return to Town Scroll] and tore it to shreds.

A golden light flashed, and Jiang Yan vanished instantly, leaving only the interdimensional merchant with an uncertain expression in the arena.
