Chapter 80: Have to Buy



Niu Xiangyang and Zhou Yunshan had been old friends for over a decade.

But recently, Niu Xiangyang had grown reluctant to go fishing with Zhou Yunshan.

The reason was somewhat embarrassing to mention.

His luck had been terrible these past few days. Whenever he fished with Zhou Yunshan, he would come up empty one hundred percent of the time.

So empty that he couldn’t even hook a blade of grass.

It was absurd.

Whether it was fishing skill, records of catches, or experience, Niu Xiangyang could thump his chest and say that he was among the best in all of Wuyue City.

And yet, despite his best efforts and trying every trick in the book, he couldn’t catch even a single fish when he was next to Zhou Yunshan!

Whereas Zhou Yunshan seemed to be possessed by a fishing deity, catching fish quickly and in abundance, including many that were impressive enough to show off to other anglers.

After a few such fishing trips, Niu Xiangyang had developed a fear of Zhou Yunshan.

When Zhou Yunshan invited him again, he had to use the excuse of visiting his hometown to avoid it.

Today, Niu Xiangyang had returned from his hometown. It had been nearly two weeks since he last fished, and his craving was intense.

The Main Channel of Wu River, a guaranteed fishing spot.

Niu Xiangyang carried his fishing gear and found a comfortable place to set up.

The guaranteed fishing spot was quite famous in Wuyue’s fishing circles. Previously, Niu Xiangyang, considering himself an expert, disdained such a place that newcomers favored.

But now, he didn’t care about that anymore, he just had to catch a fish quickly to regain some confidence.

Then, reality dealt Niu Xiangyang a heavy blow.

Even in the Main Channel of Wu River, even after he had gone to great efforts to bait the spot, even after he had frequently changed tactics, he still couldn’t catch any fish!

What made Niu Xiangyang feel even more devastated was that there was a young woman fishing nearby.

Without any fuss or the array of equipment and tactics that he had, she was catching fish repeatedly!

It was infuriatingly consistent—like the fish were watching their clocks in the river, waiting for the right time to bite and then getting caught by the woman.

It was strange.

Since he wasn’t catching any fish anyway, Niu Xiangyang decided to stop fishing.

He walked along the riverbank to see what the situation was like for others.

It couldn’t be possible that he was the only person in the whole world unable to catch fish, could it?

With careful observation, Niu Xiangyang quickly discovered a peculiar phenomenon.

In this river channel, which used to guarantee catches, it wasn’t just him failing to catch fish—most anglers were coming up empty. However, those few who did manage to catch fish, always caught fish.

Their fishing rhythms were all similar, calm and stable, without needing to do anything special; as soon as they threw their hooks into the water, fish would bite.

Niu Xiangyang even noticed one angler who didn’t bother with bait and still managed to catch fish!

Since they also couldn’t catch any fish, there were more and more aimless anglers strolling around.

Among them, quite a few were observant and noticed the same situation that Niu Xiangyang had just discovered.

Moreover, if one observed even more carefully, all those who managed to catch fish had one thing in common: they were using the same kind of Fluorescence Talismans!

Using a nighttime Fluorescence Talisman during the day was already odd, but the fact that all of them were using it made the situation even more bizarre!

Niu Xiangyang looked at the Fluorescence Talisman, feeling it looked familiar, as if it were the same kind that his good friend Zhou Yunshan used.

Could it be the Fluorescence Talisman that was making the difference?

Once this thought crossed his mind, even Niu Xiangyang found it counterintuitive.

What did fishing have to do with Fluorescence Talismans?

But, with things being as they were and his desperation to catch a fish, he had to give it a try, no matter how counterintuitive it seemed.

After an intense internal struggle, Niu Xiangyang finally swallowed his pride as a seasoned angler and approached a fellow fisher who was catching fish with ease.

“Buddy, where did you buy that Fluorescence Talisman? I want to buy one and try it myself.”

July 24th.

Wuyue Residence.

Jiang Cheng opened his storage bag and carefully counted the income he had made from selling talismans in the past few days.

In the first few days of talisman selling, the reputation of the Fishing Talisman wasn’t prominent, and he only had a few orders per day, maybe a dozen.

Latterly, the demand for Fishing Talismans began to increase significantly.

It went from a dozen to several dozens of orders.

From that point on, what limited the sale of talismans was Yue Linger’s production capacity, not the quantity of orders.

Later, he had Yue Linger recruit Talisman Masters to increase production again, which resulted in an even greater demand for talismans.

Of course, these were matters for Yue Linger to consider now.

Jiang Cheng had a great deal of trust in Yue Linger’s working abilities.

Although Yue Linger was quite attractive, as long as she was exceptionally capable, Jiang Cheng was very willing to overlook shortcomings in her appearance.

“Single, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… Do I already have two hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones?”

Jiang Cheng stroked his chin, wondering, “Has the speed of making money been a bit too fast lately?”

A few days before, he had taken Liu Qing to look at villas near the wasteland’s real estate developments.

Through the introduction of the real estate sales, Jiang Cheng had a rough idea of the price of a villa.

Considering the near nine hundred low-grade Spirit Stones per square meter price tag, plus the villas’ size of around three hundred and fifty square meters, and the fact that Jiang Cheng wanted to buy a finished house ready for sale, as well as the taxes to be paid to the Liang Kingdom,

the actual price for a villa came to around three hundred eighty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

With three hundred eighty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, given his current speed of earning money, it would only take another three or four days before he could buy another house.

A thirty-eight-thousand-worth villa, when the Spiritual Spring emerged, would multiply its value by ten times, and by just flipping it, he could make three million eight hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

With that many Spirit Stones, even in the pricey Capital, buying a house would be stress-free.

“Houses really are the way to go,”

Jiang Cheng sighed.

Back when he had just graduated, he plunged headfirst into the gaming industry.

If he had been a little more laid back and listened to his family’s advice to take out a loan and buy a house in the city, he could now even consider buying out “Immortal Gods” and becoming the boss.

Unfortunately,

his rebirth failed,

and he transmigrated instead.

Since that was the case, he might as well settle down.

No matter where, living well is the true principle.

Nobody could stop Jiang Cheng’s yearning for a better life!

“Liu Qing, after you finish assembling the talismans you’re working on, there won’t be new ones,” Jiang Cheng called to Liu Qing on the balcony.

Liu Qing looked up blankly and blinked at Jiang Cheng.

“I’ve outsourced the assembly tasks to the Artifact Refiners from the Artifact Refiners Association,” Jiang Cheng explained.

“Work?” she asked.

“In a few days, I’m planning to buy the villa you liked before. Since the house will be bigger, I’m worried that between making talismans and cleaning the house, you’ll be too busy.”

“No need to sleep.”

“No, you must sleep!” Jiang Cheng said emphatically: “You only have to work eight hours a day. Knock off when it’s time; it’s also fine if you want to leave early. If you find the work bothersome, just don’t do it—you set the pace. The most important thing is never to overwork yourself. And, if you do work overtime, make sure you ask me for overtime pay. This is very important!”

Liu Qing thought for a moment and then nodded.

She felt that Jiang Cheng took very good care of her.

Are all bosses of the Human Race as nice as Jiang Cheng?

Jiang Cheng was so kind to her that she was starting to not want to return to Mount Tian anymore.
