Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Jiang Yan, unaware of Zhou the fisherman's situation, simply laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, this is what you deserve. Take it and spend it as you please. Come back to me if you need more!"

Jiang Yan wasn't being generous; it's just that only Black Zhou fishermen can catch the ancient dark gold BOSSes in this map, and with the talents of Good Luck and Little East Evil, these BOSSes are all spirit-level equipment.

One million gold coins is really not much!

Not to mention, if you happen to catch an ancient spirit-level BOSS, you'll really make a fortune!

"Brother Jiang, you... I..." Zhou, the fisherman in black, was sweating as he gripped his fishing rod. "Thanks, this money is very important to me!"

As he spoke, Zhou, the fisherman in black, began reeling in his line, saying, "Brother Jiang, I have to go offline right now. I'll come back up and fish for you again!"

Oh, he's already offline?

Jiang Yan scratched his head and said, "Alright, Brother Zhou, you have to go ahead with your business. I'm not in a hurry."

After the black-clad fisherman Zhou packed up his fishing rods and baskets and logged off, Jiang Yancai, looking somewhat lost, took out a golden [Return to City Scroll], tore it up, and left the ancient ocean.

……

at the same time.

A small third-tier city.

After Black Zhou fisherman logged off, he soon heard the sounds of bargaining coming from outside the bedroom.

"This house is quite old, and given the current situation, the highest I can offer is 20!"

Then his wife's voice came through: "200,000? My apartment is 150 square meters, with a balcony, and it even comes with a free parking space. The furniture was all replaced last year or two ago, it's very new, I..."

"Ms. Zhan Wei, you know the situation is different now. Although there are no dangerous places around our city, who knows when a monster siege might occur? You might not know, but just now, a monster siege happened in the game. The scene, the monsters, it was unbelievable! Although we humans won in the end, White Tiger City was destroyed." The first person to speak sighed, "I feel that 200,000 is a bit expensive. After all, if you're not careful, it'll all go down the drain."

"But now housing prices in Shanghai have risen so high, even houses in the suburbs have reached 10 yuan per square meter. With this little money, we..."

"What does this have to do with me? Your house is only worth 200,000. Take it or leave it!"

"Then we won't sell!!" Zhou, the fisherman in black, pushed open the bedroom door and walked out, saying, "Wife, I have money! We're not selling this house!"

"You have money? What money do you have? All you do all day is fish! I told you to level up and join a big guild, did you go? Did you join? I get angry just looking at you!" Black Zhou fisherman's wife, Zhan Wei, got angrier and angrier, and rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight him!

"No, no, no, I really have money now, I really do, I'm not lying to you!" Zhou, the fisherman in black, was a little flustered. He first saw off the person who bought the house, and then pulled his wife into the bedroom and told her the whole story.

"You're fishing for... Jiang Taigong?" Zhan Wei asked with a strange look.

Although she wasn't good at games, she had heard of Jiang Taigong's great name.

This is supposedly the number one in China, or rather, the number three now!

Fishing for such an expert… Zhan Wei thought about it more and more and felt that this was unreliable: “Doesn’t Jiang Taigong level up usually? Does he also like fishing? No, even if you let him fish, how much money can you make?”

"That's only 900,000 gold coins," sighed Zhou the fisherman in black. "That's about 60 million yuan, barely enough to buy a few apartments in Shanghai."

"Sixty million... Honey, have you been scammed? What kind of fish can you catch to earn sixty million? You've been tricked, haven't you? Do you have to pay a two hundred thousand handling fee first?" Zhan Wei was getting anxious.

"What handling fee? Why don't you believe me... You just wait!" With that, Black Zhou Fisherman immediately logged into the [Peak] trading forum and sold the 900,000 gold coins in his account.

Fearing he would be fooled, Zhan Wei kept a close eye on him the whole time. Only when she saw with her own eyes that 60 million yuan had appeared in the account did she finally believe this outrageous fact.

"You, you actually made money fishing? Sixty million... We can go to Shanghai now, we can go to Shanghai, sob sob... You stinky fisherman, you've finally made something of yourself!" Zhan Wei was sobbing uncontrollably.

"As the old saying goes, there are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert. Do you really think fishing has no future for me?" The black-clad fisherman Zhou looked at her arrogantly and coldly questioned, "Will you still interfere with my fishing from now on?"

"Guard! If you don't help Jiang Taigong fish properly, see how I deal with you!!" Zhan Wei immediately perked up: "What are you standing there for? Go online and fish! Leave all these chores like the kids transferring schools and buying a house in Shanghai to me, you go fish now!!"

"I... fine." Zhou, the fisherman in black, waved his hand, looking rather disheartened. He still preferred his wife's unruly nature from before.

……

On the other end.

After returning to Fuxi City, Jiang Yan went straight to the city lord's mansion.

Even after one night, players continued to flock to the city lord's mansion to claim their rewards.

Jiang Yan pulled down his straw hat and, through the guards, successfully entered Lin Wudi's study.

"I didn't expect you to be so composed." In the study, Lin Wudi was wiping his longsword, looking at Jiang Yan with a smile, "I thought you would have come last night."

"Last night, I went to absorb spiritual matter," Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Ha, you think spiritual matter is like cabbage in the field?" Lin Wudi said with disbelief.

Jiang Yan didn't argue, saying, "City Lord Lin, I'm here to collect my mission reward."

Lin Wudi sheathed his longsword and said, "Speaking of which, young friend Jiang, your performance this time was truly remarkable! Together with that adventurer named Ice Emperor, you were able to turn the tide!"

"Was my mission reward this time very generous?" Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed slightly. "Was it...?"

Lin Wudi seemed to know what he wanted to say, and quickly waved his hand before he could finish speaking.

The next instant, Jiang Yan heard a system notification in his ear:

[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the quest! You have received 100 million experience points, 5,000 reputation points, and 3 legendary equipment items!]

"This..." Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Yan was speechless: "City Lord, this is far too perfunctory."

He risked his life to go to White Tiger City, not for a few pieces of dark gold equipment, nor for a little experience or reputation.

What he wants is spiritual matter!

Lin Wudi said calmly, "There are tens of millions of adventurers participating in this mission, but only you and Bingdi are able to receive this reward. Young friend Jiang, don't be ungrateful."

"This isn't a matter of being content or not..." Jiang Yan said helplessly, "City Lord, you know me. At my level, simply increasing experience, or a few dark gold items, or even spirit-level equipment, is no longer enough for me to progress. What I need is spiritual matter."

"So, spiritual matter isn't like cabbage; you can't just get it whenever you want," Lin Wudi said calmly. "However, I did hear some news related to spiritual matter."
