God of Fishing - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: You’ll Cook For a Month as Punishment

Han Fei said to Xia Xiaochan, “Go wake up the fatty.”

Xia Xiaochan: “???”

Xia Xiaochan woke up Le Renkuang, and Le Renkuang was drowsy. “What’s wrong?”

“Get your shield out!”

Le Renkuang took out his shield and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is there an enemy around?”

Han Fei said, “I’ve found good stuff, but you need to protect Xiaobai since it is rather prickly.”

Le Renkuang was still puzzled, but he covered Luo Xiaobai with his shield. “Why do you need my shield? Can’t you block it by yourself?”

Han Fei said, “Of course I can, but I don’t want to be stung! Are you silly?”

As Han Fei pulled the hook, a black object surfaced very soon and unleashed all its iron stingers the moment it appeared.

“Ohhhh…”

“Who stabbed me? Who…”

Zhang Xuanyu jumped to his feet, with two stingers on his butt and one on his back.

Le Renkuang covered his grin. “Ha! I forgot to cover him.”

Zhang Xuanyu shook the stingers off with his spiritual energy. He was about to curse in fury and embarrassment, when he saw stingers darting at him again. He hurried to deflect those stingers with his rod.

At this point, Han Fei waved his Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Dagger and cut the threads that connected the stingers and the fish.

When Han Fei finally picked up the black ball, Zhang Xuanyu ran to him and complained, “Why are you all covered by the shield but I am not?”

Luo Xiaobai woke up in confusion and saw black stingers all over the boat and a black ball that Han Fei was holding.

Luo Xiaobai asked, “What’s going on? Have we been attacked?”

Han Fei smiled. “We’re fine. I just found something delicious. Since it is almost dawn, I decided to catch it as breakfast.”

Everyone: “???”

Le Renkuang chuckled. “That’s why you woke me up just now? Okay. Please wake me up whenever you’re going to make food again.”

Zhang Xuanyu asked gloomily, “Why was I not covered?”

Han Fei and Le Renkuang replied, “We forgot!”

Zhang Xuanyu: “…”

Luo Xiaobai stepped forward and picked up a stinger. Then she exclaimed, “This is very hard. What is it?”

Han Fei said, “A sea urchin.”

Le Renkuang was not convinced. “Are you trying to fool me? You can really eat that? I’ve seen those things in the general fishery.”

Han Fei snorted. “We must see nature instead of superficial things. You can certainly eat it after you remove all the stingers, can’t you?”

After the fuss that Han Fei caused, everybody lost interest in cultivating. Zhang Xuanyu asked, “What is this place? Why are there so many algae?”

Luo Xiaobai narrowed her eyes. “Han Fei, have you just sailed the boat to the Deep-Sea Jungle?”

Han Fei chuckled and said, “I didn’t have anything better to do. Let me tell you, this is an amazing place. There is a kind of fish here that grows on trees.”

After that, Han Fei kicked the Wooden Fish to everyone.

Le Renkuang grabbed the fish. “Huh? It’s hard. Wait, it can be bent… Wow, this fish is really wooden!”

Luo Xiaobai took over the Wooden Fish curiously. “The fish is still alive, but it’s dying. Does it have any abilities?”

Han Fei thought for a moment and said, “It can stick its tongue more than ten meters away. The bigger ones might be able to do it even further.”

Han Fei had chopped the tongue of the Wooden Fish when he caught it, so he didn’t know the features of the tongue.

Zhang Xuanyu asked curiously, “What do the trees that the Wooden Fish grow on look like? Those weird things often contain treasures.”

Han Fei said, “I’m not sure. I didn’t get a closer look. However, I don’t think there are treasures in this place.”

Xia Xiaochan asked, “Why not?”

Han Fei had his own theory. Places where seaweed gathered had much more oxygen than usual, which resulted in the biodiversity of this area. Since so many different kinds of creatures were living in this place, they would’ve swallowed the treasures even if there were any.

Han Fei said, “Just look down! There are too many creatures down there. We’re too late even if there’s any treasure.”

Zhang Xuanyu shook his head. “You don’t know that. If what you said is true, why is the Deep-Sea Jungle considered the second most dangerous place in the level-two fishery?”

Han Fei smiled. “You really want to know? Let’s find out down there.”

Luo Xiaobai frowned. “No, at least not now. You make breakfast first while we keep training. I feel that the range of my senses has increased a little bit.”

Le Renkuang scratched his head. “Me too. Perhaps, that picture was meant to enhance our senses.”

Zhang Xuanyu said, “Okay, I’ll go back to sleep… But Han Fei, don’t fish anymore, or at least inform me before you do.”

Then, they all went back to sleep, except Xia Xiaochan who squatted next to the sea urchin curiously.

Han Fei asked in surprise, “Why are you not sleeping?”

Xia Xiaochan prodded the sea urchin. “I’m more interested in the world down below right now. Of course, I’m interested in this sea urchin too.”

Han Fei smiled. “Is that so? Let me tell you, this is very delicious.”

…

In the morning, when a basin of sushi was placed on the table, Han Fei sighed and said, “It would be even more delicious if I had more ingredients.”

He didn’t have rice, mustard, or salad for the sushi.

Thankfully, Han Fei had acquired some fish eggs from a fish he caught. He asked Xia Xiaochan to dry the kelp and prepare the crab meat as well as cucumber pieces. Together with the vinegar, it was a perfect breakfast.

“Huh?”

Han Fei was appreciating his work when he was shocked by the data that he saw.

<Name> Spiny Sea Urchin Sushi

<Introduction> This is a food made of the essence of many ingredients. It’s tasteful and contains plenty of spiritual energy.

<Level> 20

<Quality> Rare

<Spiritual Energy> 282 Points

<Effect> It can fill your stomach and temporarily increase your health for an hour when eaten.

It was not the first time that Han Fei saw the data. He had seen a lot when he made food for himself, but he had never made a food of the rare quality before.

Also, the sushi didn’t contain a lot of ingredients compared to hotpot. However, the stew that he made in hotpot was only Mortal Level, High Quality. Even the squid hotpot in the level-two fishery was also Mortal Level. But this time, the sushi had reached the Spirit Level.

Han Fei was also shocked that the sushi could enhance one’s health temporarily.

At this point, Han Fei remembered Old Jiang’s remark that he would make a good gourmet cook. At that time, Han Fei’s reply was that he only made food for himself and he would rather not be a cook.

Then, when he made vinegar, Old Jiang mentioned that the stronger a creature was, the more effective it would be if it was eaten. At that time, Han Fei did not really think that one could be stronger by eating. But he had a new idea now. What if the enhancement of health became permanent? He could try better ingredients than the common ones in the level-two fishery.

Han Fei couldn’t help but wonder. If he could acquire some fancy ingredients, could he create a permanent buffet for himself? That would be so much easier than cultivation.

Xia Xiaochan waved her hand before Han Fei. “Han Fei… Han Fei…”

Han Fei was woken up. “Huh? What’s wrong?”

Xia Xiaochan said, “The food is still raw. It’s not cooked.”

Han Fei chuckled. “Some food needs to be cooked, and some don’t. Look, just dip it in vinegar…”

As he spoke, Han Fei picked up a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth after dipping it in vinegar. He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction as the seafood with spiritual energy was unbelievably delicious.

Le Renkuang suddenly sat up. “I smell vinegar.”

Xia Xiaochan mocked him. “What a foodie.”

Zhang Xuanyu and Luo Xiaobai were woken up again, and they all began eating the sushi. Le Renkuang asked with his mouth full, “Han Fei, can you teach me how to cook? How can I be as good at cooking as you?”

Han Fei said mysteriously, “Creation. Food must both look and taste delicious. That should be your goal.”

Le Renkuang looked at him in admiration. He had been meaning to learn Han Fei’s creativity for a long time, but he couldn’t. He never knew that certain ingredients could be combined until Han Fei created a new food each time.

Then, Wenren Yu appeared out of nowhere and stepped onto the boat. To everybody’s surprise, she grabbed a piece of sushi, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in her mouth.

Wenren Yu swallowed and said, “Han Fei, you will cook for a month as punishment after we return.”

Han Fei: “???”
