The Age of Fishing

Welcome to The Age of Fishing!

You will be living a new life so pick up your fishing rods and go fishing. As long as you fish, you will get everything you want.

In The Age of Fishing, everyone is at the same starting point, so do your best.

Welcome to the Eastern Sea. I will provide you with the best service!

Then, everyone felt as if their souls had been drawn out of their bodies. When they could open their eyes, they already arrived in a room.

"I ... where am I?" Su Bai rubbed his eyes.

"I'm not dead, am I?" Su Bai prayed that he was still alive. After all, he cherished his life.

No, you are not. This is The Age of Fishing. But if you die here, you're really dead.

"W-Who's talking?!"

I'm the system's assistant. You can ask me if you don't understand anything.

"Where am I now?"

You are currently at the Safe House (Note: the Safe House is only for storing items.)

"Hey System, what do you mean by storing items only?"

The Safe House is where the warehouse is located. The items in the Safe House will not be discovered by anyone. To survive, players need to venture to the sea to build their own homes.

Luckily, Su Bai was a smart university student. After the system's introduction, Su Bai had a general idea of the situation.

However, such a smart person only managed to find an internet company for an internship after hitting a wall several times. At that time, he was only hired because of his good looks.

Who knew that after only a few months of internship, "The Age of Fishing" would suddenly appear? Ten billion people from all over the world were teleported to this area, where they could only obtain resources by fishing.

As for fishing time, it would take 5-10 minutes each time, and the items obtained from fishing were all kinds, including miscellaneous items and treasure chests.

The good news was that everyone's items could be traded through the system. Otherwise, if one person was unlucky, they might fail on the first day.

The system was also something that everyone had, although its purpose was to assist players in answering some simple questions and as a guide for newbies.

After calming down, Su Bai opened the system interface. There were many options like Chat, Bag, Character, Warehouse, Map, Mission, Trade, Friend, Craft, Gallery…

Looking at so many options, Su Bai was a little confused.

"This is definitely an online game."

That's right. This is a fishing online game with global participation.

Su Bai's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard such an answer.

"Let's first see what I have. Open the bag!"

The Bag is a player's carry-on item. Each play starts with ten spaces. Each item can be stacked up to 99 (upgradable)

Currently, there are some starting items in the Bag: a Fishing Rod, a Water Bottle, and Bread.

"No way, the initial items are only this little?" Su Bai complained.

He then opened the Gallery.

The Gallery is a display of all the items that the player has collected. It is only for viewing the item's properties.

However, other than the bread and water bottle, the rest of the items in the Gallery were all black question marks.

On the other page, there were craftable items. Other than an ordinary fishing rod, there were also black question marks.

Just when Su Bai was about to check the item's properties, the system's notification tone suddenly rang.

All players in this sea region are ready to awaken their abilities! 

Begin awakening abilities for each player.

Abilities are ranked from F to SSS. Good luck to all of you.

Begin awakening ability randomly.

Congratulations player, you have awakened an SSS-rank talent. (Note: SSS-rank talents are extremely rare, the probability of awakening is one in 10 billion) 

Do you want to view it immediately?

"Yes!"

Immediately, the reward for this mission appeared in Su Bai's mind.

SSS-rank talent: Super Modifier.

Skill description:

The probability of any craftable item can be modified from 0 to 100%.

The simple introduction was full of temptation.

This kind of SSS-rank talent was very rare. The probability was one in ten billion, which meant that there was only one in the world.

"Everyone appears to have awakened a talent, but I actually awakened an SSS-rank talent. This is fantastic!

"One in ten billion and I'm the only one in the world who got it!"

Just when Su Bai was still immersed in the joy of an SSS-rank talent, he heard the system's notification prompt.

Reminder: the Safe House visit time is about to end. (Each visit to the Safe House is only 10 minutes. Cooldown time is 5 hours.) Please head to the ocean to fish!

"Head to the sea immediately!"

Su Bai was just thinking about how to use his fishing rod in this room when he was prompted to go fishing.

Now loading…

Loading complete!

When Su Bai opened his eyes, he was greeted by the boundless ocean and standing on a palm-sized Island.

"Damn, that's all about this place? Isn't this initial land a little too small?"

Su Bai looked at the ground under his feet and couldn't help but complain. The area was so small, only made up of four pieces of land.

"I'd better just fish honestly. This palm-sized land, I'm really worried that I won't survive today.

"Oh right! I can change the properties of the craftable items! I just saw this fishing rod on the Gallery's Craftable page.

"Hey System, check the properties of the normal fishing rod."

Normal Fishing Rod: Fishing success rate is 50%, chances of getting miscellaneous items are 90%, chances of getting Wooden Chests are 5%, and chances of getting Bronze Chests are 5%.

Looking at the properties of the normal fishing rod, Su Bai couldn't help clicking his tongue.

"A normal fishing rod is really ordinary. There's even a 50% chance of failure!"

One had to know that every fishing attempt would take 5 - 10 minutes. If one's luck was even worse, one would not get anything after 10 minutes.

Since Su Bai was going to modify it, he had to pull up the percentages to the highest.

Looking at the description and accompanied by his previous knowledge, Su Bai felt that the Bronze Chest must be the best.

BEEP! 

Do you wish to modify the Normal Fishing Rod?

"So it really can be modified!"

The system's voice appeared in Su Bai's mind again.

"Yes! I can't afford to fail in fishing? I'll first change the success rate of fishing to 100%. As for chances of getting those miscellaneous items and Wooden Chests, I'll make them 0%. These two items aren't particularly needed, so of course I'll change the chances of getting the Bronze Chests to 100%."

BEEP! 

Modification is successful!

Normal Fishing Rod: Fishing success rate 100%, chances of getting junk items 0%, chances of getting Wooden Chests 0%, and chances of getting Bronze Chests 100% (Maker: Su Bai)

"Hahaha, I did it! I'm rich, I'm getting rich!

"Other people's fishing attempts have a high chance of being filled with miscellaneous items, and there's even a chance of failure. As long as I fish, I'll get a Bronze Chest every time!

"This is the journey that begins with an SSS-rank talent. With this alone, I'm more than one step ahead of the others. What can the others use to fight me?"

Su Bai couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He clicked on the Chat option as if he was possessed.
