Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

This is also why Kuroneko and Kirino didn't argue so fiercely today. After all, there were adults present, so they gave Kirino some face. Kuroneko didn't mention Kirino's hobbies at all, not even once after arriving at Takahashi's house. Saori did the same, never mentioning Kirino's special hobbies even once.

Kirino was actually quite grateful to Kuroneko, so she turned a blind eye to Kuroneko's chuunibyou (delusional) remarks. Normally, she would definitely have retorted.

It's all because Yang Kui is here. If it were just other people, the two of them wouldn't be so reserved.

"We've arrived," Gao Yumo, who was walking at the front, suddenly said.

The girls saw the light ahead and followed Gao Yumo out of the forest path. Suddenly, the view opened up, and a river appeared before them. Beyond the path was a riverbank made of small stones, where the trees were blocked.

The riverbank wasn't blocked by trees. The girls walked to the river and looked at the crystal-clear water, as if their souls were being healed.

"Look, there really are fish!" Hui Naiguo said excitedly, pointing to a spot in the river.

"There must be fish, otherwise why would Mo Jun have brought us here? Xiao Guo, you don't need to be surprised by this~," the little bird said helplessly.

"Hehe." Hui Naiguo scratched her head. "I'm a little excited. Shall we start fishing?"

The girls nodded, took out their fishing rods, and were all eager to get started.

"Should we separate them a bit?" Eriri asked curiously.

"Let's separate a bit. Mo Jun said he wants us to experience it ourselves first, he won't teach us yet, let us figure it out on our own." Shi Yu nodded and moved a few steps away from Ying Lili.

Gao Yumo watched the girls' preparations with a smile. He really didn't intend to teach them now. These kinds of things were something you had to try yourself and experience fishing to truly enjoy them.

He walked back a bit, leaving Sophie some distance from the river. After all, it was flowing water, and even vampires would be afraid of it. It was already quite bold of her to follow him.

Now she's holding the large parasol and deck chair she just used, lying here, quite a distance from the river, where the sunlight is blocked, so even during the day it won't be too uncomfortable for her.

“It’s really tough being a vampire,” Gao Yumo said to her.

"Yes, I can't even enjoy fishing with everyone unless it's at night," Sophie said, somewhat disappointed. "But watching fishing must be quite interesting, right?"

“That’s true, especially when they’ve been fishing for ages and still can’t catch anything, it’s even more interesting,” Gao Yumo said with a mischievous grin.

Sophie shook her head helplessly. "You have such a twisted sense of humor. That's probably why you didn't teach them beforehand."

Gao Yumo simply smiled, not answering the question, but her meaning was clear.

The girls had already set up their fishing rods and each found a spot. Since the river wasn't deep and the current wasn't strong, some of the girls walked directly to the other side, leaving more space for the others. Of course, they all brought sandals, since they were coming to the water's edge.

As for bait, Gao Yumo had the maid prepare the bagged kind. He was afraid that the girls might be scared of live insects, but earthworms should be fine, right? But those red worms used for fishing, let alone the girls, even Gao Yumo found them disgusting. He himself didn't like insects.

Not to mention that one of the girls, Chestnut, absolutely hates bugs. Gao Yumo was afraid that if she saw a bug, she would blow this place up, so it was better to leave it alone. Chestnut breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gao Yumo's thoughts. Luckily, it wasn't a bug.

Seeing the girls start casting their lines and fishing, Gao Yumo also felt a little itchy to try it out. It was actually his first time fishing, but he had already leveled up his fishing skill to LV9, so he was quite proficient. Anyway, he had plenty of skill points, so it didn't matter.

Looking at the fish in the river, it might be faster to just go down into the river and catch them, since the river is quite shallow. But they came here to experience fishing, so we decided against doing something that would ruin the atmosphere. However, if they couldn't catch any fish, letting the girls experience catching fish in the river wouldn't be a bad idea.

He started casting his line. This kind of river fishing is quite different from the sea fishing that girls really want to experience, but let's save the sea fishing for summer. For now, we'll just make do with this.

As Gao Yumo waited for the fish to bite, she looked at the girls, wondering who would be the first to catch a fish.

Fishing is a combination of skill, luck, weather, location, and other factors. Since the girls' skills are about the same now, it's all about luck since it's their first time. So, who has the best luck?

"They've taken the bait!" The shout of "They've taken the bait!" drew everyone's attention. Everyone looked over and nodded knowingly. It didn't seem surprising at all that it was her.

It's Javelin. As a ship girl, Javelin would never say she's never fished before. She must have experience. The girls didn't count Javelin and Akashi as fishing newbies among them.

Javelin happily put the fish into her bucket. She had indeed fished before, but that was in the sea. This was her first time fishing in a small river, and it was a completely different experience. She was really happy after catching the fish.

Akashi next to her also caught a fish, which made the girls very envious, but they also understood that in terms of experience, how could they compare with the ship girls who lived by the sea?

The fish in this river are all very big. After all, no one lives nearby, so the fish's living environment is very natural. Just looking at them made the girls think about how delicious they would be if they were grilled and eaten at night.

But the prerequisite for them to be delicious is that they can actually catch them!

Gao Yumo watched as the fish took the bait and lifted the fishing rod. He wasn't surprised; his luck had always been excellent, and he also had the support of LV9 fishing skills. In all aspects, he was very strong, and it was impossible for him to come back empty-handed.

The girls weren't surprised at all that Gao Yumo caught a fish; they just wanted to know when their fish would bite!

Fishing requires a lot of patience, and there are quite a few girls who lack patience, such as Gabriel and Umaru, the two internet addicts. Gao Yumo looked at them and felt that if they didn't catch any fish soon, they would give up.

"..." Mashiro suddenly uttered a small question. Nanami, who was next to her, looked over and saw that Mashiro had caught a fish.

"Wow, Mashiro, you're amazing!" Nanami exclaimed in surprise. Her words drew the attention of the others. Mashiro was the first among the inexperienced girls to catch a fish. They probably thought they would be close to doing it too.

“You can catch Nanami too.” Mashiro said as she continued casting her line. Mashiro was one of the most patient girls out there. Even if she didn’t catch anything, she could probably sit there for a long time. After all, drawing requires patience, and Mashiro was very patient.

Gao Yumo kept catching fish, and the girls also caught one every now and then, but most of them hadn't caught a single one yet, which was quite pitiful.

Gao Yumo felt it was about time; if she didn't let them experience the fun soon, they would probably give up. So she prepared to explain some fishing techniques to them.

Chapter 310 Fishing in Progress (3rd Update)

Gao Yumo began explaining fishing techniques to the girls, using teaching skills to make it easier for them to understand. In short, it was about quickly improving their fishing skill level.

After a while, Gao Yumo finished speaking and said to them with a smile.

"That's about it. Give it another try. After all, it's your first time fishing. Try your best to catch at least one. When we have barbecue tonight, everyone can eat the fish they caught. It will taste even better!"

The girls became even more interested upon hearing this. Indeed, eating fish that they had caught themselves felt like eating the fruits of their labor, and it would definitely taste even better.

One by one, they started casting their lines again, determined to catch a fish.

Of course, not everyone has caught nothing. Take Tsukuyomi Tsukasa, for example. She's lived for so long, it's impossible for her not to have ever fished. She already has several fish in her bucket.

"I've got a bite!" Nino watched as the fish took the bait. Once she was sure the fish had taken the bait, she gave a sharp tug on the rod. With her increased strength, she quickly pulled the fish up.

"Great! When will I get a bite?" Next to her, April looked at her fishing rod. There were many fish in the water, swimming around, but May seemed to have more. She only had a few fish on her side, and none of them were taking her bait.

"Quiet down, you scared all my fish away," Miku said to Nino, frowning as she looked at the fish that had almost taken the bait.

Nino noticed it too, and felt a little bad. She was too excited and had taken the fish off the hook, then cast the line again without saying a word.

Gao Yumo did say when she was teaching her not to be too noisy, otherwise she might scare the fish away, but she was too excited and forgot.

However, Miku was just saying that. In terms of patience, Miku's patience is quite good. She can just keep fishing.

With Gao Yumo's explanation and guidance, more and more girls are taking the bait.

"Hahaha, I've taken the bait too! Gabriel, you haven't caught a single one yet!" Satania also caught one and then mocked Gabriel beside her.

Gabriel's eyes throbbed with anger, and she wanted to smash the fishing rod in Satania's face, but with Yang Kui around, she couldn't be so rude. She just glared at Satania and prayed that she would catch a fish quickly, otherwise Satania would keep mocking her.

“I’ve taken the bait too, Gabriel, good luck!” Raphiel said to Gabriel with a smile, having also taken the bait.

“You don’t all have to tell me you’ve taken the bait!” Gabriel was a little upset, staring intently at the fish in the river. Gao Yumo noticed her and felt that it was because her resentment was too strong that the fish wouldn’t come near her. To be honest, it was quite amazing for an angel to be able to do this. She was truly worthy of the name.

On the Muse side, Rin Hoshizora also caught one, becoming the first among the Muse group to take the bait.

"That's amazing, Rin-chan!" Enoka looked at her with shining eyes, then looked back at her fishing rod, wondering when hers would bite.

"Yes, Rin-chan is amazing," Hanayo said with a smile.

Rin was also very happy. She put the fish into the bucket and said to Hanayo.

"Hanayo-chan, it's okay even if you can't catch any fish, Rin's fish are for you to eat, meow."

Those around her were very touched; it's such a wonderful thing for friends to share their stories.

"Rin-chan, you just don't like eating fish, right?" Then their touching moment was shattered by Hanayo's words.

"Hehe." Rin scratched his head, not expecting Hanayo to say it after just one kiss.

"I didn't expect you to have catgirl-like traits, that you don't like eating fish?" Yuki couldn't help but ask from the side.

Rin just smiled sheepishly at this. She really didn't like eating fish, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Gao Yumo had already stopped fishing. He had already caught quite a lot. More than 50 minutes had passed, and he had already filled a bucket. Moreover, he hadn't started fishing from the beginning; he had been there for a while and watched the girls fish for a bit before starting.

The reason for stopping was simple: the bucket was full. The fish here were all quite large, but the bucket wasn't very big, so it was normal for it to be full. He had no choice but to stop.

He looked at the girls, who had all caught at least one fish each. After all, there were plenty of fish here, and with the techniques he had taught them, at least they hadn't come back empty-handed.

Of course, the two ship girls Javelin and Akashi are the ones who are fished out the most, and their buckets are almost full.

Among the others, there are Tojo Nozomi, Raphiel, Miku, and Ai Haibara, whom Takahata Mo didn't expect. Ai has hooked quite a few people; she's really lucky, after all, she met Takahata Mo.

If that's the case, Gao Yumo looked at Xiaoying, who seemed to have caught quite a few as well. The two of them must have been very lucky, without a doubt.

Gao Yumo took out her phone and glanced at the time. They hadn't been there long, and some people could already say it was over, while others were just getting started.

For example, Umaru has only caught one fish so far, and Kirino, who is supposed to fill a bucket, has only caught one or two fish so far, while the black cat next to her catches one every now and then, which makes her very angry!

If it weren't for her mother, the black cat would definitely have mocked her a few more times. But right now, every time she catches a fish, she'll glance at her, which is no different from mocking her!

Gao Yumo stood up, waded across the stream, and headed towards the other side.

"Brother! You scared all my fish away when you left," Sagiri said angrily. She had just seen a fish about to bite her hook when Gao Yumo went into the water. The two of them were sitting close together, and Sagiri's fish were immediately scared away.

"Sorry, sorry." Gao Yumo turned around and apologized to Sha Wu, then continued walking across the river to see how the girls on this side were fishing.

"I forgive you." Sagiri's anger vanished instantly, because it seemed like she was about to catch another fish.

While some fished a lot, others caught very few. Besides Umaru, Gabriel also only caught one fish and then stopped biting. She didn't have much patience left. The others around her were still biting, even Satania. She had given up fishing.

Gao Yumo walked over to her and glanced at the fish she had caught. It was quite big, but all the fish in the river were quite big.

"At least you have something to eat tonight, that's good." Gao Yumo offered her a small word of comfort.

But this was no different from offering any comfort to Gabriel; she remained upset. The main reason was that Satania would show off every fish she caught, and Raphiel did the same, though not to show off, but to let her know. Only Vinette didn't do this, yet Vinette had caught the most fish among the four of them, making Gabriel incredibly envious.

"Alright, let me help you." Gao Yumo squatted down and took Gabriel's hand. Her fishing rod had already been cast, so there was no point in using any techniques. Now Gao Yumo wanted to see if he could improve Gabriel's luck.

"Help me like this? It's like if you hold my hand, the fish will... actually take the bait!" Gabriel hadn't even finished speaking when she felt the force from the fishing rod and exclaimed excitedly.

"I told you so." Gao Yumo stood up with a smile. He was just trying it out. Of course, it might be a coincidence, but it might actually work. She looked at Satania next to Gabriel and walked over. She would try it again and see.

Satania had been watching Gao Yumo's movements the whole time, and when she saw him coming over, she wondered if he was going to try it on her.

"Let me try again. Satania, you can do it, right?" Gao Yumo smiled at her and asked.

“Of course!” Satania nodded, and Gao Yumo took her hand, waited a moment, and then really took the bait.

The girls watching were stunned. What was going on?

"That's amazing!" Enoka couldn't help but exclaim.

“I have absolutely no idea what’s going on.” Ayase Eli shook her head. This was something she couldn’t understand at all, but when she thought about it being Takahata Sumi, it didn’t seem so strange.

Satania pulled the fish out of the water, while Gao Yumo looked at his hands. He guessed that the fishing skill might have played a bigger role, increasing his chances of catching fish. Based on his understanding of the system skills, the effects of the system skills were fixed, and what Gao Yumo did was always at the minimum level of the corresponding skill.

If you put it in fishing, you'll keep getting hooked. To give a simple example, when cooking, no matter how you cook, you'll always be at level 10. You can go higher, but you'll never go lower than this level, no matter how casually Gao Yumo cooks.

Of course, this is the result that Gao Yumo did not control. If he wanted to force himself to make a LV9 dish, there would be no problem at all. The skill allowed Gao Yumo to truly master that knowledge. Even if the skill disappeared now, the knowledge would not disappear. What disappeared was only the skill bonus given by the system.

The special abilities themselves won't disappear; only the system's assistance will. Gao Yumo will then need to control the special abilities entirely on her own. Currently, the system assists when using those special abilities, but if the system disappears, Gao Yumo will have to completely relearn how to use them. However, the special abilities themselves won't disappear.

Chapter 311 The Match Between Snowball and Lucky (1st Update)

Gao Yumo watched the girls fishing, then looked at Jixiang and Xueqiu who had come with them, and walked over to them to watch the two little ones play.

Jixiang jumped directly into the water and chased after the big fish. Although she couldn't catch them, she seemed to be having a lot of fun. After all, it had been almost an hour, and she had been chasing the fish the whole time. Even though she couldn't catch them, she was having a great time.

Snowball, meanwhile, was probing the water with her paws by the riverbank, too afraid to go in, yet wanting to catch fish. It's unclear whether she'll succeed.

"Woof!" (Snowball, come down and play too! It's so much fun, the water feels so nice!)

"Meow." (No way, it'll get my fur wet.)

"Woof." (Okay, I'll play by myself then.)

She moved further away from the snowball and ran towards the middle of the water. The water here was neither rapid nor deep, so Gao Yumo didn't pay any attention to her and let her play by herself.

"Meow." (Watch this!)

Meanwhile, Snowball raised its claws, looked at a fish on the riverbank, gathered its strength, and then suddenly thrust out, slapping the fish on the head before it could even react, stunning it.

"Woof!" (Wow, awesome!)

"Meow." (That's it.)

"Snowball is amazing! He caught a fish all by himself." Yukino, who had been watching closely, saw Snowball catch the fish immediately.

Hearing her words, the girls looked over and saw Snowball bite a fish from the river that was almost as long as her. They couldn't help but applaud.

"Snowball is amazing, meow!" Rin Hoshizora exclaimed excitedly.

"Woo woo!" Snowball, with the fish in its mouth, puffed out its chest and raised its head, looking proud and arrogant, as if showing off to the others, which made the girls laugh.

"Snowball is so smart!" Yang Kui praised Snowball with a smile, then said to Jixiang, who was still chasing fish in the river, "Jixiang, you should also try your best to catch some fish!"

Gao Yumo smiled and translated the girls' words for Jixiang and Xueqiu. Xueqiu was even happier, thinking that she was indeed the strongest cat!
