Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 91 Aperture Upgrade

Soon, the two found a quiet place.

Xiao Kai took out the newly bought surf rod and a bunch of accessories he didn't know how to use, and looked at Xu Ning with some difficulty.

"Third brother, how do I use this surf rod?"

He recognized almost everything, but he only had a vague idea of ​​how to use it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning put down what he was holding and came to Xiao Kai, teaching him step by step.

"Come on, I'll teach you!"

"This is called a positioning stop bead. It functions similarly to the space bead used in platform fishing. The top one is used for positioning, making it easier to find the bottom. The bottom one is used to restrict the float. There's also a space bead at the very bottom that restricts the float..."

With Xu Ning's patient guidance, Xiao Kai quickly gained a general understanding of these accessories.

Simply put, rock fishing is essentially similar to platform fishing, mainly judging whether the fish are taking the bait by observing the movement of the float.

The overall setup is similar, consisting of a main line and sub-lines, and will also require items such as bobbins, floats, weights, and figure-eight swivels.

However, there are many differences. For example, there are more things in the water (which is actually a sinker), a weight bar, etc., and there is also a split shot on the leader line, similar to the small running sinker in platform fishing, but there is only one leader line.

The biggest difference is that it has an extra wheel, which allows you to cast the bait a long distance for fishing.

With this explanation, Xiao Kai understood.

He basically completed the arrangement of the line group without Xu Ning's help.

However, the way the line was tied was similar to that of platform fishing, and Xiao Kai wasn't sure if it would work, but he wasn't too concerned.

Soon, Xiao Kai had completed all the preparations for fishing.

Only then did he notice that Xu Ning had already started fishing.

Without wasting any words, Xiao Kai picked up a live shrimp he had bought and threaded it onto the fishing hook. Then he stood up and began to try casting the line into the distance.

huh~

With the sound of the spinning wheel releasing the line, Xiao Kai threw his rock fishing rod hard into the distant sea.

Having extensive experience with spinning reels, Xiao Kai found it easy to use this rod. Apart from finding it a bit heavy and long, he experienced no other discomfort or even line breakage, successfully casting the bait dozens of meters away.

Just as Xiao Kai was preparing to continue cheating by controlling the aperture, the scene in front of him suddenly went black. Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain suddenly pierce his brain, as if someone had pricked his brain with a needle.

"Ah~"

Subconsciously, Xiao Kai cried out in pain and involuntarily squatted down.

The sound startled Xu Ning, who was watching the float nearby.

Seeing Xiao Kai cry out in pain and then squat down, he quickly ran over.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong?"

"Hiss~ It's nothing!"

Seeing Xu Ning's worried expression, Xiao Kai took a deep breath and then quickly waved his hand.

He did feel pain just now, but it disappeared after only two seconds.

The reason I squatted down was just a subconscious action.

"Really? You're not kidding me. If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. You can go fishing anytime!" Xu Ning said, still somewhat skeptical.

"It's really nothing! You'll see!"

Seeing that Xu Ning was serious, Xiao Kai had no choice but to stand up and say that he was fine.

During this process, he subconsciously glanced at the position of the float.

However, upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.

"What's going on?"

Looking at the scene before him, Xiao Kai muttered to himself.

The two red halos that should have appeared on the sea surface had turned gold instead of red.

Not only that, but the diameter has also increased by nearly half from the original twenty meters to about thirty meters.

That's fine, after all, his aura kept growing as he caught more and more fish, and he got used to it.

But this time, in addition to these, he was surprised to find that the aperture had undergone other changes.

What should have been a blank aperture was now filled with a large number of colorful points of light.

These light spots vary in size and are distributed throughout the apertures of different sizes.

Some are very dense, some are very sparse, but most are within the small aperture range.

Not only that, but even at the very bottom of his field of vision, a golden progress bar with an unknown function had appeared.

The progress bar was clearly moving, but not very fast.

In the ten or so seconds it took him to squat down from his headache and stand up, he had only walked less than three percent of the distance.

The whole thing looks like a holographic projection game, it's incredibly realistic.

"Is it because I started sea fishing that my cheat codes evolved or upgraded? It's starting to feel more and more like a game!!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, which resembled a game screen, Xiao Kai couldn't help but think this.

Of course, he didn't care whether it was a game or not; what he cared about was whether the change in the aperture would have any other effect on his fishing.

Clearly, there is no doubt about this issue.

After all, the golden progress bar at the bottom is still moving, and there will definitely be other changes when it finishes.

With this in mind, Xiao Kai became even more excited.

Just as Xiao Kai was pondering, Xu Ning noticed his sudden silence and, thinking he was feeling unwell, asked, "What's wrong? Is your head still bothering you?"

Unable to find a reason, Xiao Kai casually said something.

"No, I was just marveling at how the ocean is all water!"

Instantly, Xu Ning's worried expression vanished without a trace, and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Go on, just say it if you're done. Don't be so dramatic, it's kind of scary!"

"Hehe, I'm fine now, you go ahead and do your work, I'll try it myself!" Xiao Kai said with a smile, seeing that he was completely speechless. He knew he had gotten away with it.

"Okay, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me!"

After speaking with Xiao Kai, Xu Ning turned and walked towards his fishing rod.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai looked at the circle of light on the sea again.

Seeing the points of light moving constantly within the circles of light, he guessed that these points of light must be the fish underwater at this moment.

As for the different colored spots, he guessed they were probably from different species of fish.

The size of the light spot might be the size of the fish.

Putting everything else aside, this change alone has been extremely helpful to Xiao Kai.

After all, the aperture of the past wouldn't show such an effect. At most, people knew it had a fish-attracting effect, but the extent to which it actually worked was always ambiguous.

But now it's different.

With these newly added points of light, he finally understood the underwater situation of the aperture.

He used to think that the aperture would gather all the fish in the area into the small aperture.

But looking at it now, that's not the case; it's just that there are relatively many clusters.

In other locations, there were still fish, and some of them were quite large.

Of course, he didn't know why these fish didn't use the aperture's attraction and instead focused all their attention on the smaller aperture.

However, he knew that with the current effect of this aperture, he could target his fishing efforts more precisely in the future.
