109: Excellent rewards are frequently given out! Great harvest!
"Alright, since Mr. Chen, you've made up your mind, I won't press further."
"Regarding dealing with the mutated beasts, I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen for assistance then."
Although he knew Chen Ming was doing this to extract Undead and expand his strength.
However, with him taking action, it could indeed resolve many unnecessary troubles and greatly reduce casualties.
Compared to fearing Chen Ming's rapidly increasing strength, Zhao Qian was still more worried about those out-of-control monsters.
At least for now, Chen Ming hasn't relied on having hundreds of thousands of Undead under him to massacre humans.
He even took action several times to eliminate the Scarlet Knight, Gluttony Dragon, Ancient Serpent, and other powerful monsters they were unable to deal with.
"Alright," Chen Ming agreed, then immediately bid farewell to Zhao Qian.
The screen went black, automatically rolled up, and after being stored away, the helicopter quickly ascended, turned around, and returned the way it came.
Glancing at the scorching sun on the horizon, Chen Ming rubbed his stomach, knowing it was time to fill it.
On the way back to the living room, he opened the virtual panel and browsed the dazzling array of five-star dishes.
Finally, he chose a bowl of white rice, a portion of chopped chili fish head, braised sea cucumber with scallions, and a bowl of kelp and pork rib soup.
This little life, simply wonderful!
While eating, he didn't forget to cast a couple of lines.
Anyway, being idle was still being idle, and Chen Ming was the type of person who had to do something while eating.
Even if he wasn't playing on his phone or scrolling through short videos, he had to turn on the TV and listen to something.
He opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing and clicked [Start Fishing].
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Fishing Process Optimization Card +1!]
"Fishing Process Optimization Card? What is this thing?"
Chen Ming muttered as he mixed the chopped chili fish meat with rice using his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Fragrant! Incredibly fragrant!
After checking the description, Chen Ming learned that this optimization card could speed up the fishing process, remove the QTE mini-game that tested hand speed, reduce the possibility of Chen Ming's line breaking to zero, and achieve a 100% catch rate!
He used it without hesitation, even though dealing with that mini-game was quite simple with his reaction speed.
However, why not do something that saves energy?
He cast another line.
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Critical strike successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Lifespan +1000!]
This time, with the same level of reward, the fishing speed indeed greatly increased, and no mini-game popped up.
Top-tier rewards, easily obtained.
Cast again!
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-Class Skill: Reaper's Harvest!]
[S-Class Skill Reaper's Harvest: You can summon a Reaper that only you can see, without the target being aware, and silently swing its fatal scythe at the target!]
Drawing an S-Class Skill now was already a very ordinary thing for Chen Ming; his heart wasn't particularly stirred.
Unless it was a particularly interesting skill, his mood before obtaining the item was the same as after.
Cast again!
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining SSS-grade Skill: Calamity of Mad Worms!]
"SSS-level?!"
He was used to S-Rank, but Chen Ming wasn't used to SSS-level yet.
He quickly checked the skill description.
[SSS-grade Skill Calamity of Mad Worms: Growth-type skill, can summon a large number of mutated locusts that can devour everything and use it as nutrition to split wildly! The number has no upper limit!]
At first glance, this skill might not seem that amazing, and some might even feel it doesn't match the SSS-level.
However, as time goes by, this army of mutated locusts is definitely not to be underestimated!
With a wave of his hand, he could unleash an unprecedented Calamity of Mad Worms, just like the skill's name!
You know, even now, with human technological power developed to its peak and reaching a bottleneck, they still haven't been able to completely solve the food crisis caused by locusts.
Not only can they eat, and eat fast, but they also reproduce prolifically.
Now, born as an SSS-grade Skill, how could its power be weak?
He couldn't wait to try it out, but he hadn't finished eating yet.
Forcing down his inner curiosity, he said, "Eat first, then talk after finishing. The skill won't grow legs and run away on its own."
While speeding up his eating, he continued fishing!
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining S-Class Skill: Whale Tail Slap!]
[S-Class Skill Whale Tail Slap: Summon a giant floating whale and use its massive tail to deliver tons of heavy damage to a super large area in an instant! Critical hit!]
Again!
This increased fishing frequency was becoming more and more addictive.
[Fishing in progress...]
[Fishing successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Forced Plunder Card +10!]
"Plunder Card?" The literal meaning wasn't hard to understand.
Chen Ming thought it was likely a reward similar to the Permanent Steal Skill, except one was a skill and the other was an item.
If he had to say, the former was definitely a worse deal, as there were only ten cards, and they were gone after use.
But skills were different; as long as one had enough spiritual power, they could be used for a lifetime.
He checked the details.
[Forced Plunder Card: After using this item on any target, you can forcibly open the target's system backpack. The items that can be plundered are not limited to fishing rewards, but include lifespan, attributes, real estate, bank balance...]
After reading the description, Chen Ming immediately understood why, despite also being an opportunity to strengthen fishing, it had the confidence to appear in the form of ten cards.
The options that this Forced Plunder Card could steal were not limited to skills; everything the target possessed was fair game!
That's right, everything!!
Even the favorability and loyalty of other people towards the plundered target.
"If this were a skill, then all of humanity would truly become my laborers." Chen Ming couldn't help but fantasize, spitting out a bone.
...
In the blink of an eye, over twenty minutes passed, and Chen Ming finished eating and was full.
As soon as he finished clearing the dishes, the sound of an air raid siren came from outside. Even though Chen Ming had closed all the doors and windows, he couldn't block it out.
"Most likely, someone else fished up some extraordinary monster, right?"
He clearly remembered that the last time the Scarlet Knight appeared in the neighboring city, the air raid siren was also sounded.
One reason was to alert everyone that danger was coming.
The second was that the sound of the air raid siren would attract Zombies and monsters, clearing a retreat route.
It was hitting two birds with one stone.
Chen Ming was very curious about what that unlucky person had fished up.
This was the perfect opportunity to test out the SSS-grade Skill he had just fished up, Calamity of Mad Worms!
With this skill, the usability of Zombie monsters increased once again.
If they had a skill, he would steal it first, then kill them to get a treasure chest, complete the task, and get increased fishing attempts.
Then extract them as Undead, and finally use those corpses to feed the locusts, increase their level, and split!
Completely squeezed dry, not even leaving a bit of bone residue for the target.
Opening the villa door, before even stepping out of the main gate, Chen Ming already saw the treetops exceeding the height of the wall.
The tree was very far away, at least several kilometers.
Secondly, the villa Chen Ming lived in was built on... the mountaintop.
