Chapter 27 This is really too cruel (tempting)!

Chen Mo released all the fish he had caught back into the water.

These Spirit Fish already possess simple intelligence, and taking all of them as trophies would scare the rest away.

Then the challenge could not be completed.

Unless he caught a batch and then changed locations.

But who knows if these Spirit Fish might communicate among themselves, that could spell trouble later.

Chen Mo checked the progress of the "Fishing Master" challenge; he still needed 7 more types of Spirit Fish, 12 kinds of regular fish, and 1 Transcendent Rank Spirit Fish to complete the challenge.

"Chew!" (Want to eat!) (๑>؂<๑)

The little fox looked at the Spirit Fish in the water with a greedy appetite.

"Don't rush, we'll have roasted whole fish once the challenge is complete."

Chen Mo walked three to four hundred meters along the riverbank before casting fish feed again.

As expected, not many fish surfaced this time, especially none of the Spirit Fish, just a few ordinary miscellaneous fish.

Chen Mo was not in a hurry to collect the net but instead quietly waited on the shore.

10 minutes later, whether it was the previously electrified Spirit Fish recovering or the fish below simply unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, they one by one surfaced to enjoy the feast.

However, this time their eyes were noticeably more cautious, ready to flee at any sign.

"Jiu Bao, go!"

Blazing Flame Fox once again spread an electric net, mainly targeting the fish that hadn't been caught before.

The fish scattered in all directions, but quite a few Spirit Fish were a step too slow and touched the electric net, getting stunned.

This net caught quite a few Spirit Fish, but Chen Mo still released them.

Chen Mo even used his beast speech talent to tell these Spirit Fish:

"Don't worry! My Spiritual Beast only electrifies you to help with digestion and absorption, it won't hurt you."

He wanted these Spirit Fish to develop a subconscious understanding that the only cost of eating this manna from heaven is a mild shock, without any risk to their lives.

Finally, he caught everything in one go!

During the third baiting, the fish crowd began madly scrambling for food.

If the only cost of enjoying this peerless delicacy was to be shocked, it seemed acceptable!

At this moment, not far from Chen Mo, in a forest, a young girl in camouflage clothes looked confusedly at the woods before her.

"He Siyao ah He Siyao, you really are a fool to get lost so quickly."

"If I knew earlier, I should have teamed up with others. I shouldn't have been greedy to earn points by going alone. Alan, which direction do you think we should we go now?"

The girl leaned against a tree, sighing.

Beside her was a blue butterfly Spiritual Beast, its wings shimmering like rippling water, extremely beautiful.

Lianyan Butterfly, Transcendent 1-stage, a very rare and beautiful Spiritual Beast.

"No~"

Lianyan Butterfly shook its head repeatedly, unable to comprehend maps.

"Hmm? There seems to be some noise over there, let's go check it out."

Suddenly, He Siyao heard a crackling sound similar to lightning nearby, so she headed towards the source of the noise.

"That boy seems to be—Chen Mo!"

Soon, He Siyao saw Chen Mo fishing with electricity at the riverside.

Seeing the Blazing Flame Fox weaved an electric net, and in the next second, dozens of Spirit Fish were brought onto the riverbank by the electric net.

Interestingly—these Spirit Fish seemed somewhat dazed, not even trying to dodge when the net descended?

This time, after capturing more than 30 Spirit Fish, Chen Mo was not planning to release them.

He even took out a barbecue grill and charcoal from his Space Bracelet.

"Xiao Jiu, start a fire, we're having grilled fish!"

"Chew!"

The Blazing Flame Fox spat out a spark, and the orange-red flames quickly ignited the charcoal.

Chen Mo put several ordinary unnamed small fish directly on the grill. Soon, the fragrance of grilled fish enveloped the surroundings.

"Chirp!" (Time to eat!)

Seeing this, the Spirit Fish struggled to escape into the water.

But their bodies, numbed by the shock, rendered them unable to move; they could only glare at Chen Mo with angry eyes.

We are not humans, but you're truly a dog!

"Don't panic, I'm not eating you guys, just teaching you a lesson. Don't be so naive next time."

Chen Mo had no plans to eat these Spirit Fish.

First, these Spirit Fish could be exchanged for quite a few points, and secondly, although the Spirit Fish weren't highly intelligent, they had begun to develop spirits, so Chen Mo felt somewhat reluctant to harm them.

If these Spirit Fish are turned over to the scoring point, the soldiers will likely release them to serve as a practice target for next year's examinees.

Hope they learn from this setback!

He Siyao, watching everything from the woods, couldn't help but lick her lips.

"This is really tempting, no, this is too cruel!"

After running around in the woods for half a day, she was terribly hungry. Although there was food in her backpack, it couldn't compare to the delicious smell of the grilled fish in front of her.

"Let me share your sin then!"

Thinking this, He Siyao unconsciously started running towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, who was grilling fish, suddenly saw a girl running out of the nearby woods and was a bit stunned. Then he saw the girl running towards him like a goofy dog and excitedly said to him:

"Hello, hello! Brother Mo, look, you're alone, and I'm alone, how about we team up temporarily?"

"I think... not so great."

The girl in front of him was indeed pretty and cute.

But was she as pretty and cute as the Blazing Flame Fox in his arms?

Women, they just slow down his fishing!

"Then how about you give me the prey and I pay for it?"

"Explain in detail?"

As soon as he heard about money, Chen Mo became interested.

Although he was not very short on money now, his previous poverty made him obsessively attached to money.

Money isn't everything, but without it, you can't do anything!

"500 bucks per point!"

The girl appeared quite wealthy.

Chen Mo was tempted.

So, she's a rich lady, well, that's fine then.

Women might slow down his fishing, but a rich lady would just buy all your fish!

"This price is fair, but what if I give you all the points, wouldn't it be a huge loss for me if I fail to win the prize money of this contest?"

Although Chen Mo was tempted, he thought about it and felt something was still lacking.

"If we team up and I win first place, I'll give you all the prize money!"

He Siyao said without hesitation; the first prize of this practice session was only 500,000.

For her, it was neither too much nor too little, just about a month's pocket money!

But if she took first place, her status at school would be glorious.

"Deal! Then all these fish are yours!"

Chen Mo was just thinking that taking these many fish to the scoring point would be a hassle, and here came a tool person.

Awesome!

"Yup, that totals up to 56,000, I'll transfer it to you! And maybe you wouldn't mind if I have two of those grilled fish, would you?"

After gleefully counting the points, the girl completed the transaction through her Space Bracelet and grabbed a grilled fish from the rack.

"Go ahead!"

Watching the money tally increase in his account, Chen Mo was in a pleasant mood and generously said.
