Chapter 624 475: The Vision Was Too Small! (4K)_2
It's hard to say right or wrong, the use of abilities varies from person to person.
"Huh?"
Li Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and his spiritual power followed a passing fish and swept over it.
Then he became excited, it was a fish with special effects that, when eaten, could increase the recovery speed of Genetic Force!
He must find a way to catch it!
Li Zheng moved the fishing rod, threw the bait in front of the fish, and gently swayed it to entice it to eat.
However, this fish seemed uninterested in regular bait; no matter how Li Zheng tried to entice it, it remained unmoved, even disdainfully sweeping the bait away with its tail, pretending not to see it.
"Hey~ my little short temper!"
Li Zheng rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and followed the fish, holding the fishing rod.
This time he gave up using bait to entice, intending instead to use the hook to spear it.
This behavior piqued everyone's curiosity, including the audience in Bai Xiaosheng's live stream, who urged the host to switch the camera and see what Li Zheng was up to.
"Don't rush, I'm working on it." Bai Xiaosheng adjusted the controls, and the live stream switched to show a colorful bait in the sea, with a hooked bait constantly trying to rub against the fish as if it were a rogue spotting a beauty.
Every time, the fish managed to dodge it.
"What's he... doing?"
Someone on the barrage was confused, wondering how the fishing suddenly turned bizarre.
"No, wait... I have a question, does Li Zheng intend to spear that fish?"
"Damn... Speechless, but is his goal to spear that fish?"
"The point is, how does he see the underwater movements?!"
"Wait! Host, switch the camera, there was a moment when I seemed to see the water moving differently!"
"That's no regular water; it's a player, a transformation-type player."
"Case closed, spearing the fish wasn't a coincidence; it's all thanks to the fish-hooking gadget man's favor!"
"This batch of fish-hooking gadget men ain't qualified, how come they didn't catch the fish by the mouth and had to let others spear it?"
The barrage was filled with endless joy, all assuming the frogman player was in cahoots with Li Zheng, and Li Zheng could see the underwater dynamics because this frogman player was directing.
Only Bai Xiaosheng knew that this frogman player belonged to another faction and had no relation to Li Zheng.
Because he could see the other party's identity in his live stream backstage, but due to his "journalist" duties, he couldn't expose it publicly, leading players to gradually accept this notion.
Seeing the increasingly frantic movement of the fishhook in the image, even the bait attached was shaken off, still failing to spear the fish.
Onshore, Li Zheng's expression gradually twisted.
"Ha ha ha ha~ It's helpless rage, indeed."
"Oh my, Li Zheng's little expression is actually a bit cute."
"Where's the fish-hooking gadget man? Come and help!"
"This is messing with people's minds too much. If it were me, I'd want to jump into the water and personally battle that fish one-on-one like a real man."
"Wait! What is Li Zheng trying to do, look quickly?"
.....
Seeing he couldn't catch it for long, Li Zheng simply threw down the fishing rod, scooped up some seawater under the curious gaze of others.
A flash of blue light in his hands turned the base of the seawater into a hemispherical ice block.
Doing the same thing back and forth, Li Zheng formed a hollow ice ball in his hands.
"What are you..." Zhan Zhouzhou, sitting beside him, asked with some confusion.
"I found a special fish, but it won't take the hook, so I'm giving it a show of force." Li Zheng tossed the ice ball in his hand, shouted 'Go!', and threw it into the sea.
"You're not planning to use that ability, are you?" Zhan Zhouzhou's expression changed as if realizing something.
"Exactly!"
Li Zheng nodded: "It's that ability."
"Uh... won't the terminal stop you?" Zhan Zhouzhou instinctively thought it wasn't feasible since Li Zheng's next action had nothing to do with 'fishing.'
"Whatever! No harm in trying."
Li Zheng said nonchalantly, locking his spiritual power onto the hollow ice ball and pushing it near the fish.
The next second, his expression changed, and his Genetic Ability activated.
Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!
Whoosh~
A small flame ignited inside the hollow ice ball out of thin air, rapidly consuming the scarce oxygen.
Li Zheng raised his right hand and loudly warned, "Watch out! Something big is coming!"
Snap!
A crisp snap of the fingers, and the hollow ice ball exploded underwater, the massive pressure like a high-explosive grenade thrown into the water.
Boom!
A super splash surged with all sorts of fish soaring skyward, with a hint of despairing blue amidst the water column.
Damn it... Why'd I foolishly come so close to watch the excitement?
Splash~
When the water splashed down, the frogman player and a dozen or so fish of various sorts were flung onto the sea surface, foaming at the mouth and passed out.
Though the explosive ability wouldn't take his life, it had some impact; outside it could blast him apart, in the fishing contest it merely stunned him.
Seeing over a dozen white bellies floating on the surface, Li Zheng punched the air in excitement: "Got it~!"
"... I doubt fish obtained this way will be recognized by the terminal?" Zhan Zhouzhou said, covering his face, surprised that Li Zheng actually succeeded in explosive fishing.
"No recognition, so be it. Our initial target wasn't winning this activity anyway." Li Zheng shrugged, flew over the water, and plucked up the special fish blown into two parts.
It was a completely blue-white fish, round-headed and flat-bodied, with a slender tail, resembling a mix of grass carp and ribbon fish.
Puzzling the two parts together, it had a body length of over forty centimeters, quite a big size.
Enough for over forty people to have a taste.
Uh...
Maybe, the one who's exhausted the most Genetic Force should eat it?
Like himself.
Li Zheng flipped the two-part fish to the small island, and upon catching it, Zhan Zhouzhou realized that kind of explosive fishing result didn't count for points!
However, the next whole fish Li Zheng tossed over, also stunned, clearly showed it could be redeemed for 3 points after the event!
This was a level 3 fish!
So, unconventional tactics like Li Zheng's "fishing" method were recognized by the terminal!
As long as the fish itself was whole, the terminal didn't even restrict them being alive!
Upon discovering this rule, all members of the Starting Point experienced a brief 'crash,' wondering if they misunderstood fishing or the terminal misunderstood fishing?
But after reacting, some got excited.
"Baa ha ha~ since this counts as success, I can do it too!"
"Water Secret Technique: Water Burst Bomb!"
"Boom!"
Yet another small splash, but only two or three fish turned belly up.
"Weakling, watch me!"
"Sea's Secret Technique: Open!"
"Splash~"
In a three-meter range in front of him, the sea parted to reveal some struggling fish at the bottom.
Sadly, this ability's consumption was too great, before others could gather the fish, the ability faded, and the sea closed back up.
Not just these two, several players employed various tactics to achieve some unconventional harvests from the sea.
Some used water guns to directly stun a few fish.
Some threw ice balls into the water, bringing up two fish.
Someone...
The gains, though modest, were a decent collection of one or two-point fish.
However, the downside was their meddling soon dispersed the previously gathered fish school.
Li Zheng carried the blue frogman back to the island and threw him in the center: "Here, this is the suspect who tore open our fish guard, what should we do with him?"
The Starting Point members exchanged glances, with someone realizing, "Whoa~ At first, I thought... Didn't expect our leader already knew someone was lurking, and was just acting earlier to catch the opponent red-handed when they approached."
"I underestimated my leader's strategy!"
