Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 647: Chapter 257: Using Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to Fish for Celestial Dao Fish, Rule 2

Afraid the fishing line might snap, Yi Tian couldn’t pull too hard. He could only slowly reel it in, wrestling with it bit by bit.

The Little Kiddos immediately pounced next to the big hole. If Yi Tian hadn’t stopped him, Fifth Child would’ve jumped in to help him catch the fish.

Luckily, the fishing line was sturdy, and little by little, he pulled it up. A minute later, a grayish-white fish appeared on the water’s surface.

”Uh!”

This fish wasn’t big, only as long as a middle finger. Aside from its color, it looked just like a baby carp.

”Power Celestial Dao Fish. Grants +3 Power when consumed. Only effective for Lord, non-tradable.”

The Celestial Dao Stone gave Yi Tian a prompt, but the info was limited!

”Phew!”

Once out of the water, the Celestial Dao Fish hardly had any strength left. Yi Tian easily yanked it onto the ice.

Yi Tian knew that this Celestial Dao Fish might look weak and small, but it was actually incredibly strong.

”Detected that Lord has caught a Celestial Dao Fish. Celestial Dao Fishing Rod toughness +10%, fishing line durability +10%, fishing hook strength +10%.”

The Celestial Dao Stone shot a beam of energy into the Celestial Dao Fishing Rod and fishing line.

Third Child grabbed the tiny tail of the Power Celestial Dao Fish!

Too small, gone in one bite!

The Power Celestial Dao Fish was still wriggling like crazy in Third Child’s hand, as if it hadn’t accepted its fate yet.

”Only Lords can consume it?”

Yi Tian thought even the Little Kiddos could eat it!

But Yi Tian didn’t want to upgrade to S-level just yet. He wanted to take advantage of being late-stage A, grind some mercenaries, and get more Celestial Dao Stones!

Let’s keep it and see what happens!

Yi Tian bought a big fish tank, put it next to the fire, filled it halfway with water, and had Third Child toss the Power Celestial Dao Fish in.

”Bang!”

The skinny little Celestial Dao Fish thrashed around in the tank, making a huge racket. It sounded like the tank might not last another second.

Yi Tian immediately opened up the Construction Platform, built a sturdy Iron Hide barrel, and transferred the Celestial Dao Fish into it.

After finishing all that, Yi Tian tore off a piece of bait and continued fishing.

The last piece of bait was nowhere to be found when the Celestial Dao Fish swallowed the hook, probably eaten by the fish.

Seven or eight minutes later...

”Plop!”

The float sank straight to the bottom again.

This time, Yi Tian had no hesitation and pulled up right away.

Still the same monster strength as before, tangling with Yi Tian.

Yi Tian was super sensitive to power. He felt that this Celestial Dao Fish’s strength was exactly the same as the last one.

The boost to rod toughness and line durability made Yi Tian much bolder when lifting the fish.

After about a minute, he brought the Celestial Dao Fish out of the water.

”Physical Celestial Dao Fish, +3 Constitution. Only Lords may consume. Not tradable!”

”Liyue, help me grill this little fish. No need for seasoning, just grill it as is!”

Yi Tian lifted up the Physical Celestial Dao Fish and handed it to Liyue.

The Calabash Sisters weren’t interested in these tiny fish. They were busy munching on big, fragrant grilled fish. It felt much warmer in this environment.

Fishing rod toughness +10%, hook strength +10%, fishing line durability +10%.

Yi Tian figured that if he caught more Celestial Dao Fish like the previous two, he could just yank them up with brute force.

Half an hour passed...

During this half hour, Yi Tian fished up three Celestial Dao Fish—an Agile Celestial Dao Fish with +3 Agility, a Spirit Celestial Dao Fish with +3 Spirit, and a Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish with +3 Spiritual Power.

He didn’t grill those; he put them in the Iron Fish Barrel. Yi Tian wanted to figure out the right way to eat them.

”Lord, the fish’s done!” Liyue handed Yi Tian a little golden fish.

Honestly, grilling a fish this small was pretty tough on her.

Yi Tian stuffed it in his mouth, gone in half a bite.

No bones!

But—it tasted terrible!

This definitely wasn’t Liyue’s fault. The meat itself just had no flavor.

After swallowing the Physical Celestial Dao Fish, Yi Tian’s body was washed through by a surge of energy, Constitution +3.

Current Constitution: 3103.

This is the way to eat it!

He kept tearing off pieces of Five-leaf Clover, folded it onto the hook as bait.

Every time a Celestial Dao Fish was fished up, the bait would disappear—couldn’t be used again.

And all five Celestial Dao Fish had exactly the same strength while swimming at the bottom.

The fishing rod got five upgrades, and things were getting easier and easier.

”WTF, my line just snapped! I just fished a Celestial Dao Fish, got the line durability boost, how’d it break again all of a sudden!” —Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”I’m trying to reel in a Celestial Dao Stone right now, but my line’s stretched so tight, feels like it’ll snap if I pull. Any fishing pros got advice?” —Celestial Gift Race Skage.

”Just cut your losses! I broke my line in that exact situation. Even Celestial Daoist Old Thief said going in again is pointless.”

”Why did mine just snap straight away! Haven’t even caught one yet.”

”Anyone fished up a Celestial Dao Treasure Chest yet?” —Forest Elf Mumu Qingqing.

”I got a Celestial Dao Treasure Chest, a Golden Treasure Chest! Popped out along with my second Celestial Dao Fish.” —Earth Human Race Qin Fanshuang.

”Awesome!”

...

The Lords all praised Qin Fanshuang’s insane luck.

”Shan Dashan, Skage, technically after catching the first one and getting the line durability boost, it should be much harder to break on the second try. The Celestial Dao Fish I caught were easier each time. Oh right—how much did your Celestial Dao Fish add to three-dimensional or spiritual power?” Yi Tian asked Shan Dashan and Skage, trying to figure out the key issue.

”I thought it was weird too. My Power Celestial Dao Fish only gave +1 Power.” —Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”I got an Agile Celestial Dao Fish, +2 Agility. But even on the last try, my line still snapped.” —Celestial Gift Race Skage.

”What grade of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures did you use as bait?” Yi Tian suddenly seized on this point, a flash of insight in his mind.

”Started with D-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, then used a B-level Spirit Flower petal.” —Black Stone Star Human Race Shan Dashan.

”I started with C-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, then switched to a B-level Spirit Grass leaf.” —Celestial Gift Race Skage.
