Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

It's 10:30 p.m.

The school bell rang on time.

Instead of going to the market to "gain experience" as usual, Xu Zhiyi went back to her apartment complex first and picked up the fishing dart set she had ordered online the day before from the express delivery locker.

Upon opening the cardboard box, eight hexagonal tungsten steel darts were neatly arranged inside.

The harpoon is about 10 centimeters long. There is a groove two centimeters from the head to hold the rubber band in place. A little further back are two barbs, which are three or four centimeters long. Once they penetrate the target, they will automatically pop out, preventing the fish from escaping.

The harpoon has a small hole at the end for connecting the fishing line. Once it hits a fish, you can simply tighten the line and pull it up.

In addition to the harpoons, the box also contained a brand-new bat slingshot, a palm-sized fishing reel, two bundles of transparent high-strength fishing line, a pair of cut-resistant gloves, three pairs of thickened rubber bands specifically for launching harpoons, and a detachable screwdriver.

He carefully read the instructions, skillfully installed the slingshot, fixed the fishing reel to his right wrist, threaded the fishing line through the guide ring, and attached a harpoon.

He then put on gloves, gripped the slingshot, and tried pulling it a few times in the air to get a feel for the force and center of gravity.

Unlike previous slingshots, modern slingshots are heavier and have thicker rubber bands, so they naturally require more force to unleash their power.

This was naturally a piece of cake for him.

After a short while, he felt he had grasped the essentials.

"Let's test its power first, shall we?"

Xu Zhiyi spotted a broken sofa next to the trash can.

This broken sofa has been lying on the roadside for a long time. The solid wood underneath has been exposed to wind, sun and rain, and has become moldy and blackened. It's perfect as a target.

He held the slingshot in his left hand and pinched the end of the harpoon in his right hand, inserted the rubber band into the groove, and then pulled the rubber band fully with a little force.

"Knock!"

The harpoon transformed into a streak of black light and shot out, instantly burrowing into the bottom of the sofa.

Xu Zhiyi went forward to check and saw that most of the tungsten steel dart had penetrated into the wooden board, and the barb of the dart had also popped out smoothly, firmly stuck in the wooden board, and could not be pulled out by hand at all.

Finally, he kicked it, breaking the wooden plank in two, before he could retrieve the harpoon.

Xu Zhiyi was very satisfied with the power of the fish spear.

With this thing, shooting the cleaners shouldn't be a problem.

With a few simple exercises, he quickly became familiar with the weight and trajectory of the harpoon. He then put the harpoon and accessories into his waist bag and rode his bicycle straight to Liangxi River.

People online say that Wuxi has no nightlife.

This is true.

Around 11 p.m., there were almost no people to be seen on either side of the Liangxi River.

However, the streetlights along the riverside ecological trail were still on, providing just enough light without being too bright and scaring the fish away.

Xu Zhiyi parked the car, took out her action camera, and slowly searched along the riverbank.

His eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can see clearly what's happening in the water.

He focused his attention on the river embankment beneath his feet. According to Xu Zhiyuan, a biology student, the cleaner fish liked to attach themselves to river embankments made of cement blocks.

Time passes little by little.

Xu Zhiyi walked along the riverbank for several hundred meters, but only saw some small whitebait and minnows, not even a scavenger.

However, he wasn't in a hurry.

Patience is a fundamental quality of a hunter.

After another twenty minutes or so, he finally spotted his target.

It was a cleaner fish, nearly fifteen centimeters long, clinging to the riverbank, its dark spots almost blending into the stone wall in the dim light.

Xu Zhiyi felt a little more at ease, quickly attached her harpoon, and aimed at the underwater cleaner fish.

Taking into account light refraction and water resistance, he aimed at the area below the cleaner and, with a forceful pull of his arm, stretched the thickened rubber band to its full extent.

"Whoosh!"

The harpoon shot through the air and into the water, leaving a rapidly spreading ripple on the surface.

A splash of crimson then surfaced on the water.

Xu Zhiyi saw it clearly; the harpoon accurately struck the pleco's abdomen, piercing it instantly, and at the same time, the barbs popped out, firmly hooking its body.

The pleco struggled violently, and the fishing line tightened instantly.

Xu Zhiyi immediately used the fishing reel to quickly reel in the line, and in just over ten seconds, she brought the pleco to the surface.

This thing is incredibly resilient. Even though the harpoon pierced it through, it kept writhing and struggling, and it certainly won't die anytime soon.

Xu Zhiyi then kindly helped it by ending its suffering with a stone.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

[Current Quest Progress: Outland Water Sprite (1/20)]

50 experience points!

Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

The water sprites from beyond the realms are indeed incredibly valuable!

The experience gained from killing one scavenger is equivalent to killing ten rats!

It wasn't for nothing that I put in so much effort!

Xu Zhiyi used a screwdriver to dig a deep hole under a small tree by the roadside, threw the cleaner into it and buried it, and then continued searching along the riverbank.

They hadn't gone far when a frustrated sigh suddenly came from ahead.

Xu Zhiyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin figure wearing glasses squatting by the riverbank fifty meters ahead, holding a slingshot in his hand and shaking his head as he looked at the water.

This person was Xu Zhiyuan, whom I met yesterday.

"Did you find anything useful?"

Xu Zhiyi walked over and greeted them.

Hearing the noise, Xu Zhiyuan looked up, recognized him, and gave a wry smile. "You're here too? I've been wandering around here for almost an hour. I've seen several plecos, but my harpoon is terrible; I can't hit them at all!"

He sighed and shook the slingshot in his hand. "This thing looks simple, but it's really hard to shoot accurately. I really don't know how those experts on the internet play it so well!"

I think they hit their targets every time, without even needing to aim!

"But I practiced all afternoon, and I still couldn't hit a tree stump within ten meters!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi glanced at his clumsy bow-holding posture, but didn't say much. She simply nodded, "It's probably a matter of practice makes perfect. With more practice, it should be fine."

Xu Zhiyuan shrugged and put the slingshot away.

"I've given up hope. Using harpoons to shoot fish is too unreliable. To get rid of the suckermouth catfish, we'll have to rely on professional departments to organize net fishing or use fish traps..."

As Xu Zhiyi listened to him, she looked towards the riverbank and saw a cleaner lying on the concrete riverbank about seven or eight meters away, about twenty centimeters long.

Without hesitation, he immediately raised his slingshot, attached the harpoon, took a quick aim, and fired it.

"I shouldn't have suggested you buy the fishing spears yesterday; it was a complete waste of time and money..."

As Xu Zhiyuan was speaking, he looked up and saw Xu Zhiyi shoot a dart into the water.

"Pop!"

The harpoon hit the water with a crisp sound.

The next instant, Xu Zhiyuan saw the fishing line suddenly tighten.

Ripples spread across the water's surface, as the cleaner fish tumbled and struggled in the water.

Unfortunately, it was already firmly pinned down by the harpoon.

Xu Zhiyi skillfully reeled in the line and pulled the second cleaner fish out of the water.

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

He hadn't even finished saying "what a waste of money" when the other person shot a fish right in front of him without saying a word.

Xu Zhiyuan's next words got stuck in his throat.

Xu Zhiyi skillfully threw the cleaner on the ground, found a rock, and gave it a quick and easy death.

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

Wow, you're amazing!

Xu Zhiyi touched her nose. "I'm lucky."

"Come on, I'm not stupid."

Xu Zhiyuan curled his lips. He knew from Xu Zhiyi's skillful movements of "shooting without even aiming" that this person in front of him was definitely a master!

He glanced at the action camera on Xu Zhiyi's chest, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, bro, aren't you that... Dart Bro? No, you're called Midnight Butcher, right?"

Oh my god, I'm a fan of yours!
