“Boss, isn’t the scenery here beautiful? The first time I saw it, I thought it was an amazing sight, definitely a 5A-level scenic spot on Earth!”

I_Love_Black_Stockings took a deep breath, her face filled with delight. “The air here is also very refreshing. If 1 don’t die halfway through my career, I feel like I could live to be a hundred years old in this place.”

“Moreover, there are many fish in this pond. During my leisure time, I occasionally come here to fish and enjoy the serenity.”

Hearing about fishing, Ji Chen became instantly interested and excited. “You said there are fish here?”

“That’s right.” I_Love_Black_Stockings nodded, her face showing a hint of pride. “I don’t mean to brag, but when it comes to fishing, I am an expert among experts. There’s no fish I can’t catch.”

“My secondary profession is Fisherman, and my proficiency has already reached a decent level, not far from mastery. This level, to say the least, is unmatched in King Kong Island, and I dare say, no one can claim to be number one!”

Ji Chen was slightly surprised.

There are nine levels for secondary professions: Rookie, Novice, Skillful, Proficient, Decent, Mastery, Consummate, Peak, and Profound.

“Decent” is the fifth level, and to reach this level, one would need a proficiency of at least ten thousand.

Ji Chen then looked at his own proficiency.

[Secondary Profession]: Fisherman (Novice [Proficiency: 274/500])

Huh… Novice, at the second level, still quite a distance from Skillful.

Thanks to the talent of “Blessing of the Sea”, he never really worried much about fishing and didn’t pay much attention to his proficiency.

However, from the looks of it, I_Love_Black_Stockings in this regard could definitely be considered a “pro player”.

“Seeing your reaction, Big Boss, do you also enjoy fishing?”

Ji Chen smiled. “Well, sort of. My secondary profession is also a Fisherman. This profession really helped me in the early stages.”

When he first arrived in this world, he relied on fishing to catch a large amount of sea fish, which greatly alleviated the initial food pressure.

He even caught some valuable items, and even the hero Alice.

Upon hearing this, I_Love_Black_Stockings naturally thought that Ji Chen also relied on fishing to obtain scarce food in the early stages.

Thinking that they had something in common, she proposed.

“Boss, since we have time now, how about we have a fishing contest?”

Hearing this, Ji Chen couldn’t help but look amused. “Sure, we can, but are you sure you want to compete with me? I’m afraid…”

“Don’t worry, it’s just for fun. Let’s treat it as a game,” l_Love_Black_Stockings said with a smile. “Friendship first, competition second!”

“Well, if you say so… then okay.”

Ji Chen nodded and took out a fishing rod from his backpack.

[Worn-out Fishing Rod]

[Tier]: 1-Star Treasure

[Effect]: Increases the chance of catching valuable fish from the water.

[A good fishing rod handed down from ancestors, seemingly imbued with the frustrations of many fishermen who have caught nothing…]

Speaking of which, this fishing rod has been lying in the backpack for quite some time. If it weren’t for the backpack, it would probably have accumulated thick layers of dust by now.

Ji Chen was a little worried since he hadn’t fished in a long time, fearing that his skills might be rusty. However, as soon as he gripped the rod, the familiar sensation from the past surged back instantly.

“Boss, is this fishing rod a treasure?”

“Yes, it’s just a i-star treasure.”

I_Love_Black_Stockings’ eyelids twitched. It sounded too casual to be true.

But then again, this person truly deserved the title of “big boss”.

Even the fishing rod used was a treasure—definitely a true tycoon!

Looking at her self-made ordinary fishing rod, she felt a bit like crying.

However, she quickly regained her composure.

In the world of fishing, the fishing rod was only a part of it. The real determinant of victory and outcome was the angler’s skill and judgment!

She firmly believed that she could impress with her superior fishing skills.

She, I_Love_Black_Stockings, the most formidable fisher on King Kong Island, was challenging the great boss who had come from afar!

“Since it’s a competition, there should be rules. Let’s decide the winner based on who catches more and heavier fish within a designated time of three hours!”

“Sure.” Ji Chen had no objections, but he couldn’t understand why I_Love_Black_Stockings suddenly became so passionate.

From her expression, it seemed more like she was facing some significant life challenge rather than a normal fishing competition.

Ji Chen casually found a slightly flat stone on the bank as his fishing spot.

I_Love_Black_Stockings wandered around, stomping on the muddy ground and reaching into the water, murmuring words like “water temperature”, “air pressure”, and “depth”.

Once she was satisfied with the location, she scattered a handful of bait into the water.

Only then did she confidently call out to Ji Chen, “I’m ready. Can we start now?”

Ji Chen gave her a thumbs-up.

Baiting the hook, he cast his fishing rod slowly and leisurely before taking a seat on a nearby rock.

The distance between the two was about fifty meters, not too far nor too close, with no obstacles in between. They could see each other’s fishing situation clearly.

I_Love_Black_Stockings sat on a small wooden stool and secretly glanced at Ji Chen’s position, a trace of delight flashing in her heart.

With her abundant experience, she could tell at a glance that Ji Chen’s location was entirely unsuitable for fishing. Not to mention catching big fish, even small fish wouldn’t bother visiting there.

This wave is in the bag!

Boss, don’t blame me for not reminding you. This is my chance to prove myself!

I will reclaim the glory of the fishers; its my duty!

At that moment, her fishing float suddenly sank, and she felt a pull from the direction of the fishing hook.

I_Love_Black_Stockings’ face lit up; she had caught a fish!

With skilled techniques, she reeled in the fishing rod and pulled up a carp about ten centimeters long and weighing around two catties.

This was undoubtedly a good start!

On the other side, Ji Chen looked at I_Love_Black_Stockings, who had just cast her rod and caught a decent carp within seconds. He couldn’t help but be surprised.

It seemed that she really had some skills.

Then, I_Love_Black_Stockings cast her rod again, and in less than half a minute, she caught another fish.

This time, it was a crucian carp weighing three catties.

Within a minute, she had caught two fish consecutively, making her laugh with joy.

Successively, the third, fourth, and fifth fish were caught, each weighing between two to four catties, and they all wriggled energetically inside the water bucket.

I_Love_Black_Stockings was in an excellent mood; having such good fishing luck was quite rare in her fishing career.

What did they say about being a fishing expert? (Tactical gasp)

She looked over at Ji Chen.

If she remembered correctly, the big boss should not have caught a single fish by now.

However, when she saw him, her eyelids twitched.

Ji Chen, the big boss, was lying on the white legs of a hero named Alice, holding a fishing rod, and enjoying the comfort of a knee pillow.

Over his head, there was a sunshade, and beside him, there was a plate of fresh fruits.

He was being fed by Alice’s fair, slender fingers.

His face looked incredibly content and comfortable.

Jealousy… Ahem, no, it’s infuriating!

Hey! Are you here for leisure or to compete!?

Could you show some respect to your opponent!?

Though she was angry, I_Love_Black_Stockings dared not speak up. She could only focus all her attention on fishing.

She, I_Love_Black_Stockings, was determined to defeat this life winner head-on today!

She would show him how dangerous the society could be!

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt a wave of enthusiasm coming from beside him. He turned to look and saw l_Love_Black_Stockings, with a flushed and excited expression, which puzzled him.

What’s going on? Did fishing make her so happy?

Truly deserving of someone with their fishing skill at the “slightly accomplished” level. Her passion impressed him.

At that moment, Ji Chen felt a pull on his hand.

The fishing float on the water surface suddenly sank rapidly, accompanied by a strong force.

Clearly, this fish was not light!
