Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 3 The fish in this world are different.

Jerry wanted to find corn as bait, but he couldn't find any, and he couldn't find anything else suitable as bait either.

So they took Tang San to a damp corner and started digging. They quickly found several earthworms. Wow, thank heavens, there are earthworms in this world!

Carrying the earthworms they had dug up, they came with Tang San to the still water area below the waterfall. "Fish on the shallows in spring, fish in the deep pools in summer, fish in the shade in autumn, and fish in the warm places in winter." Now that it was summer, it was easy to find a spot.

Fish directly on the bottom. After adjusting the floats of both rods, bait them with earthworms and cast them into the water. The rest is up to luck. Tell Tang San that four sections of the float are currently submerged, with three sections floating on the surface. When you see the float tremble, don't lift the rod immediately. Wait until the top three sections are pulled down or the bottom four sections rise before lifting the rod. Tang San quickly understood!

Then, Tang San also baited his hook with an earthworm, cast his line, and waited. He decided against baiting the area, saying he didn't have the resources and would leave it to fate.

Jerry was very confident, but he overlooked one problem: this world was different. People on the beach also fished, and most of the fish in the sea were spirit beasts. Fish that were not over 10 years old were not considered spirit beasts and were generally unwanted. Even ordinary fish were nourished by the spirit power of heaven and earth, so their strength was greater than in his previous life.

Furthermore, everyone relies on their martial spirits to catch fish; no one has been observed fishing. There are fish in the freshwater areas too, but since people are used to using their martial spirits, almost no one fishes, so there are plenty of them in the water, even many spirit beasts!

Jerry and Tang San are fishing now, which is equivalent to fishing in a wild pond with lots and lots of fish. The fish smell the earthworms and swim towards Jerry and Tang San's location like crazy!

By the water, Jerry said, "Don't worry, we'll definitely catch fish! Don't rush, fishing requires patience. Just wait patiently. Later we'll get some better equipment, and then we'll guarantee a great catch every time!"

"Explosive protection?" Tang San was a little puzzled.

As he spoke, he saw many bubbles rise to the surface. For a seasoned angler, the most exciting thing is seeing bubbles as soon as he casts his line.

"Look, a fish is coming! Get ready to lift the rod!" Just as he finished speaking, he saw the float suddenly pull down. In the blink of an eye, Jerry lifted the rod and hooked a fish!

The fish in the water felt the sting and struggled to swim away. Judging by its size, it was quite large and I couldn't pull it up. Only then did I realize that I was just a three-year-old child. I had only intended to catch some small crucian carp, but I hadn't expected to hook such a big fish right away. So I quickly shouted, "Little San, come quick! I've hooked a fish! I can't pull it up!"

After saying that, he turned to look at the mistress and found that she had also been caught a fish and was struggling with it!

"Holy crap, no way, I got hooked by a fish at the same time!" Suddenly, a strong force came, and with a splash, Jerry was pulled directly into the water by the fish. As soon as he fell into the water, Jerry quickly let go. Luckily, he let go in time, otherwise he would have been pulled far away by the fish. He quickly swam to the shore.

"What bad luck! That fish is so strong! It's a shame it didn't make it ashore!"

On the shore, Tang San was still struggling with the fish. After all, Tang San had reached the first level of the Xuan Tian Gong and was at the great perfection of his skill. He was still strong, even stronger than many adults in his previous life. However, he lacked the skills and could only pull the fish by force. And let me tell you, the line was really strong!

Ignoring his soaking wet clothes, Jerry ran to Tang San's side and instructed him on how to play the fish. "Tang San, first, stand the rod upright. Don't pull it hard. Pull it back and forth to keep it in a close area and let it swim back and forth. Wait until it stops before you exert force. Don't pull it hard. This fishing rod might not be able to withstand the pressure and could break."

After saying that, he took out the hemp rope he was carrying and tied it to the end of Tang San's pole. He tried it a few times and tied it very close.

"Little San, if the fish darts forward, keep an eye on it. If you really can't pull it back, just let go. I've already tied a safety line here. Don't worry, this roll is quite long," Jerry said, a little regretful that he hadn't tied a safety line to his fishing rod first. Otherwise, he could have slowly slithered it up. Next time, he would definitely tie a safety line first.

More than half an hour passed, and the fish swam back and forth underwater. The safety rope was released three or four times, and twice it was released as far as fifty meters before the fish was brought under control. Finally, the fish was exhausted from being played, and the fish was slowly pulled out of the water. It was really big, weighing about thirty pounds. It was slowly pulled to the shore, and then the two of them worked together to grab the gills and pull the fish ashore!

The big fish was brought ashore, and the two men, exhausted, sat down on the ground. It was truly exhilarating. Both were very excited looking at the fish. Jerry said, "See? I told you we could catch a fish!"

"You still have the nerve to say that? You've been dragged into the water by the fish!" Tang San said casually.

"I didn't expect the fish to be so big. I didn't tie a safety rope at first, so I was afraid to let go. Who knew it would suddenly lunge so hard? I was about to call you when you got hooked too, and you were pulled into the water without noticing. Besides, I'm only three years old, how could I have that much strength? By the way, Little Three, how come you're so strong?" Jerry asked tentatively!

A flicker of panic crossed Tang San's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, saying, "I often train in the back mountains, so I'm in good shape. It's just that you don't train!"

I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Tang San definitely wouldn't tell me. Oh well, we'll take it slow. There are still three years to go!

Jerry and Tang San, carrying the big fish and their last fishing rod, headed back to the village. "Little San, it seems we succeeded this time. Let's do it again next time. Next time, help me forge a few more things so fishing will be safer. Let's go to your house and cook some fish. I'll go home and change my clothes first, then I'll go call Grandpa Jack to come along."

"Okay, Dad will be very happy to see that there is fish to eat!" Tang San said happily. He hadn't eaten meat in a long time and his mouth was watering!

Jerry thought of Tang San's craftsmanship and immediately realized that he could probably make fishing boxes, rigs, and bait trays! He also needed to make a large landing net so they wouldn't have to pull it by hand like they did today—it was too much trouble! As for the fish basket, he could just leave it on the shore. Otherwise, once the fish regained its strength inside, it would pull the basket, the fishing box, and itself into the water together. They could eat it that day anyway, so even if it died, it wouldn't matter!

Tang San returned home with the fish and saw Tang Hao still lying in front of the door. He said loudly, "Dad, we have fish to eat today! Jerry and I caught the fish at the waterfall."

Tang Hao opened his eyes and was startled to see Tang San holding a fish weighing over thirty pounds. This was no ordinary fish; it was clearly a thirty-year-old fish-type spirit beast. Although it wasn't particularly dangerous, it wasn't something two children could catch. "How did you catch it?"

"This is our tool, called a fishing rod. You can use this to catch fish." Tang San said, handing the fishing rod he was carrying to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao glanced at the fishing rod. Interesting. Such a simple tool can be used to catch a thirty-year-old soul beast. Not bad! Then he said nothing more.
