Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

A blue frame appeared in front of Li Nian's eyes.

[Daily intelligence loading complete]

[Intelligence 1: Two miles north, at Shallow Water Bay, there are spotted treasure fish and blue water fish]

[Intelligence 2: Zhang Daniu was seriously injured. His wife, Huang Chunli, is unwilling to live a life of widowhood and covets your looks. The couple conspired to steal your family's grain and forced you to join their scheme.]

[Intelligence 3: Five miles east, under the flower bed in the backyard of the Haoran Martial Arts School in the city, lies a complete version of the "Haoran Fist Technique" at the Transformation Level.]

[Intelligence 4: Eight miles northwest, inside the Thousand Lakes Cliff Cave, lie the relics and inheritance of a direct disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sect...]

System!

Li Nian's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes were filled with surprise.

His eyes were fixed on the first piece of intelligence.

Fish hide very well in winter, making winter fishing extremely difficult.

Although he was skilled at fishing, he was unsure of himself as it was his first time venturing into this body of water.

Now, with systematic intelligence, things are different.

Once you know where the fish are, as long as you know how to bait the hook, even a child can catch fish!

"The food our family had for the winter was stolen by people sent by Zhang Daniu and his wife!"

Li Nian's brows furrowed as he looked at the second intelligence report, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He had thought that Sister-in-law Zhang's request for him to help her was a way to save his life, but he never expected that the reality was not so.

To get him to help with the scheme, they actually stole their family's life-saving food.

This is murder!

"I'll deal with you all after I've filled my stomach!"

Li Nian narrowed her eyes, a cold, razor-sharp glint flashing within them.

This matter cannot be ignored.

However, he is now just a fisherman who can't even fill his stomach, so how can he talk about dealing with others?

Composing himself, Li Nian looked at the intelligence report below.

Suddenly, his eyes trembled.

"The Transformation-Level Righteous Fist Technique?"

"The Heavenly Sea Sect... its legacy..."

"This is a world of martial arts!"

Li Nian swallowed hard.

Practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality is every man's ultimate dream, and so it was for him!

With an intelligence network at your disposal, even those of humble origins are destined for success!

"Let's fill our stomachs first!"

"Let's go fishing first!"

After a moment, Li Nian suppressed her inner joy.

He is a down-to-earth person who doesn't aim too high.

The most pressing issue right now is solving the food problem.

While he still has the energy, he must go fishing as soon as possible.

"This punctuation mark should indicate the area where the blue-water fish are found."

"Just go straight there to fish; there's no need to spend time looking for fish spots."

Li Nian looked at the gold punctuation on Intelligence 1 and thought to herself.

Without any hesitation, Li Nian tightened her raincoat and headed towards Repulse Bay, following the golden coordinates.

Repulse Bay is a rocky, shallow beach with a water depth of no more than three meters.

In spring and summer, women from the fishing village often come here to wash clothes, and it is also a place for children to play in the water, making it very lively.

It is now the dead of winter, the lake is frozen over, and no one comes here in the freezing cold.

According to my memory, this is not a fishing spot, and no one has ever done winter fishing here.

However, the system's golden coordinates clearly indicate this place.

Li Nian composed herself.

Without much thought, I dug up a few earthworms by hand from under the rocks by the lake to use as bait for fishing.

He put a fist-sized rock in his pocket to use for breaking the ice to fish.

Li Nian carefully stood on the ice of the lake, stepped on it, and found that the ice was solid and had no cracks.

Then, they slowly walked towards the coordinates.

After walking about ten meters, Li Nian arrived directly above the coordinates.

"arrive!"

Li Nian put down the fish basket and fishing rod, and gently tapped the ice with a stone to avoid disturbing the fish below.

After the ice was broken, the golden coordinates did not move, indicating that the fish below were not disturbed.

"Let's fish!"

Li Nian hung an earthworm on a fishing hook and threw it into the hole.

Bluefish like to sink to the bottom, so you can sink the hook as far to the bottom as possible.

Li Nian stared intently at the fishing line, ready to lift the rod the moment the line was pulled.

"Got it!"

A moment later, the fishing line was pulled violently. A glint flashed in Li Nian's eyes, and he gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and yanked it upwards.

The heavy feeling on the rod hasn't disappeared, which means a fish has been hooked!

Li Nian was overjoyed.

The Azure Water Fish is a precious fish, not an ordinary fish.

Legend has it that this fish contains pure blood essence, making it a great tonic for martial artists.

A fisherman in the vicinity once caught one and sold it for a full two taels of silver.

If we can catch a bluefish, the family will have enough food to get through the winter!

"What incredible strength!"

Lost in thought, the fish suddenly pulled the fishing rod in my hand, bending it into a semi-circle.

Li Nian didn't try to fight the fish head-on; it wouldn't have been worth breaking the rod or fishing line.

He is an expert fisherman and has absolute confidence in reeling in fish.

Release the fish when they are hot, and collect them when they are tired.

After half a cup of tea, the fish's twitching became weak and powerless.

"Looks like I last a little longer!"

Li Nian was panting heavily, her breath condensing into frost, and a smile was plastered on her tired face.

His body was already weak, and it took him a lot of effort to catch the fish.

Soon, with the fish exhausted, Li Nian easily pulled it out of the ice hole. To prevent the fish from escaping, she pressed it onto the ice.

In no time, the cold winter froze the fish that had come out of the water.

"Bluewater fish!"

Looking at the fish in front of her, Li Nian frowned, and most of the joy in her eyes disappeared.

The blue-water fish and the green-water fish are the same species, but their prices are worlds apart.

A green-colored blue-water fish that is over five years old is called a blue-water fish, and it costs at least two taels of silver.

The blue fish in front of me is clearly not old enough; it's only worth twenty coins a pound.

One hundred catties of grass carp are only worth as much as one blue carp.

A moment later, a smile reappeared on Li Nian's face.

If you catch a fish, you have food!

In Qianhu County, rice costs eighty copper coins per dou (a unit of dry measure). This four-jin (a unit of weight) green carp is enough to exchange for one dou of rice.

Based on the normal amount of food a person eats, this would last the three of them for about ten days.

We won't starve to death from food shortages in the short term!

"continue!"

"Let's see if we can catch a couple more."

"Exchange for more food and buy some warm clothes!"

Thinking that her family would no longer go hungry, would have big bowls of rice to eat, and would have warm cotton clothes to wear, Li Nian was instantly full of energy.

Bait the hook and cast it back into the ice cave...
