"Boss, I want all of these. Just weigh them for me, and I'll send you a location. Deliver them after ten tonight. I still need to buy some other things, so I don't have time right now. Here’s a deposit for you; I'll settle the rest when the goods arrive!"
After a morning of sifting through junk, Shi Tian finally gathered everything he needed.
Ten o'clock? No time! The delivery will arrive by eleven. If you can deliver around ten, that works! As soon as the QR code lit up and the deposit was received, the initiative shifted entirely to the scrap yard owner.
"Alright, ten it is. I'll leave you my number; remember to call me when you arrive, and I'll let you in." After leaving his number with the scrap yard owner, Shi Tian turned and drove off.
Having rummaged through trash all morning, he could no longer stand the smell on himself; he needed to wash up quickly!
After calculating the materials, he realized that he was almost ready for the upgrades. The rare materials he ordered had also arrived. Once the scrap yard owner delivered the goods tonight, he could start upgrading.
Upgrading was quite a troublesome process. The Fishing Box was still not user-friendly; he had to put in materials bit by bit, make them into parts, and then manually assemble everything. Upgrading was still semi-automatic!
He considered negotiating with Rogue Software but ultimately couldn't bear to part with those Points. A little hard work was better than losing his Points!
Taking advantage of Yun Wan'er’s distraction, he slipped home for a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes. Shi Tian wondered if he could start living in the shop from now on.
He stepped on the gas and zoomed into the store, where a group of Fishing Buddies were crowded inside, buzzing with excitement.
"Boss! Last night at Chida Reservoir, there were ghosts! Someone caught a water ghost with green skin and sharp teeth and almost got dragged into the reservoir! They had to throw their rod away to escape!"
As soon as Shi Tian entered, Sun Lang rushed over to share this fishing sensation.
There were tales of Dead Fish Bite and people catching birds or snakes, but catching a water ghost? That was something else entirely! It was his first time hearing about it!
Green skin and sharp teeth? At Chida Reservoir? What kind of trouble had Wang Gou and his friends gotten into with those two young guys who had been stealing their Fishing Spot? Now it had even reached him! And they were forty kilometers away from Chida Reservoir!
A water ghost? Weighing dozens of pounds? Was it a big one or a Hei Piao? Was it a real catch? Shi Tian shot Sun Lang an incredulous look.
What did this guy know about water ghosts? How embarrassing!
"Heh! Boss, how about you watch the shop while I go catch a couple of rods at Chida Reservoir? I want to see what a water ghost looks like!" With that, Sun Lang began preparing his Fishing Gear; it seemed he really wanted to fish.
It was indeed tough for Sun Lang; he diligently stayed at the shop and had to host the Bait Contest on weekends. Last time they went out to sea, Shi Tian had generously given him half a day off each week so he could spend some time in the human world with Su Xueyi.
Unfortunately, after promising him that time off, Shi Tian left, so Sun Lang's vacation plans went down the drain. He had accumulated several days off by now; wanting to fish seemed reasonable.
"The box on the right side of the upstairs Storage Room has Wo Liao; you can arrange something with Wang Gou. They’re probably fishing for water ghosts too!" After saying this, Shi Tian turned around: "Leave your Iso Rod here; I’ll use it for a couple of casts!"
His own equipment was still with Shi Chui; if he wanted to fish, he couldn't possibly dismantle another Rod! Using Sun Lang's Rod would have to do; Shi Chui would probably be back in a couple of days.
After briefing Sun Lang, Shi Tian finally stepped inside to see what all the fuss was about.
"Last night my uncle was fishing at Chida Reservoir. According to him, that water ghost was playing Gui Huo. One guy accidentally doused it with urine while trying to extinguish it—how could that water ghost tolerate such humiliation? That’s why it started hunting those two down!"
"Who said that? I was there last night, and that guy was really something! He wanted to learn from the one surnamed Xiao and swallowed that Gui Huo whole! That water ghost fought him fiercely!"
"Did the water ghost die after Gui Huo was swallowed?"
"What do you care if the water ghost is dead or not? Gui Huo was swallowed! What skills did that Bro develop? Do you know him? Should we take the chance to apprentice under him before he becomes famous?"
"Water ghosts aren't that easy to kill. After chasing for a while, it jumped into the reservoir. Everyone on the shore was so scared they ran away. There was a Golden Retriever that ran too slowly and got dragged into the reservoir by that water ghost. Its screams echoed all night!"
"Shi Tian has really seen how rumors spread. In less than a day, people are already talking about cultivating immortality. If this keeps up for three more days, won't they be flying up to heaven?"
Shi Tian hadn't witnessed everything last night, but he could guess what happened. Wang Gou's artificial Gui Huo probably wasn't very powerful; he wouldn't dare to make too much noise, at most just enough to fill his belly! However, its influence was significant; at least for a week, Chida Reservoir should be quiet, right?
But Shi Tian was thinking too simply. Chida Reservoir was anything but quiet now; both Wang Gou and the lobster were having a hard time dealing with the commotion!
After two youngsters were scared off last night, several Fishing Friends Groups started spreading the news. The rumors weren't too outrageous yet; Wang Gou knew that last night's artificial Gui Huo had made an impact.
Early in the morning, before dawn, he arranged to meet with the lobster to secure their spot.
After last night's ruckus, Chida Reservoir was indeed quite peaceful in the morning; at least there wasn't a single Fishing Buddy around here.
