Chapter 2 can even be used to lure people?!
Snap!
Without a doubt, Ye Chen threw that guide to changing stars back into the lake.
Trying to joke with someone with such a short temper is just asking for trouble!
Sasuke broke out in a sweat when faced with Hinata Hyuga's sudden princess-like behavior.
"It's about time I left, so I'll be going now." Sasuke immediately made an excuse to leave, afraid that Hinata's image would collapse in his mind if he waited.
"The dangerous person is gone; I couldn't be happier." Ye Chen could tell that Uchiha Sasuke didn't seem to doubt his authenticity. In fact, with his eye power, he couldn't discern any difference in their souls.
"Keep fishing!"
Ye Chen was full of energy; the sooner he got rid of his female identity, the sooner he could live a carefree and happy life.
Snap!
However, at this moment, the initial fishing rod given by the system suddenly broke into pieces!
"Holy crap! What do I do! My only fishing gear is broken!" Ye Chen's agitated state resembled that of a frantic frog.
"Ding~ The initial fishing rod has been used 50 times and has been successfully used up. It will be destroyed. Please upgrade the rod to receive a higher-level fishing rod."
"Or the host can try to make their own fishing rod, but a homemade fishing rod can only be used once."
"upgrade?"
Ye Chen immediately entered the system interface. His current proficiency level was 50/1100, and he still had a long way to go before leveling up.
But obviously, the things he had fished for before were not valuable items, so his experience bar only increased by 50 points of proficiency.
"The host can only gain more proficiency by fishing out higher-level items. Of course, the higher the level of the fishing rod, the greater the chance of catching higher-level items!"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Ye Chen suddenly thought of Otsutsuki Toneri's red fishing rod that could fish for chakra and ninjutsu. What level of fishing rod was that?
If given the chance, Ye Chen would try to get his hands on Toneri Otsutsuki's fishing rod.
Konoha is still safe. Momoshiki and Kinshiki haven't appeared yet, and Toneri is still hiding in the shadows. Ye Chen can't find him, let alone get his fishing rod.
"It seems I should take a more practical approach and make my own fishing rod."
Ye Chen looked somewhat dejected.
On the streets of Konoha, Ye Chen reached into his wallet. For a Hokage, his income was quite good. Moreover, Naruto Uzumaki usually entrusted Hinata with managing his money, so Hinata was considered a wealthy woman. If he were to buy fishing rods out of his own pocket, he could buy a lot.
But thinking about all the junk he'd caught after fishing for most of the day, Ye Chen didn't want to waste the money.
Besides, fishing tackle shops don't sell many fishing rods. Fishing rods aren't a necessity; usually, a dozen or so are the maximum you can buy. Buying a dozen or so fishing rods only allows you to fish a dozen or so times, and it's also a waste of money.
Even if you were rich, you shouldn't spend money like that.
"Hinata-san, why do you look so listless?"
A man walked towards us.
"Oh, it's Mr. Yamato."
Wait, Yamato, the Wood Release ninja!
Immediately, Ye Chen came up with a solution.
He puffed out his chest, striking a somewhat aloof pose. "Yamato-kun doesn't have any missions today, seems quite relaxed. Come and lend a hand."
Given Hinata's status as the Hokage's wife, coupled with her noble demeanor as a Konoha princess, ordering around a ninja subordinate would be no problem.
"Ah, Hinata-san." Yamato's gaze met Hinata's somewhat aloof eyes. She was known for her gentleness and virtue, so why did her eyes radiate arrogance? Yamato suddenly felt a jolt. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hinata's bright eyes gleamed with mischief as she suddenly took a step closer and whispered in Yamato's ear. His warm breath tickled Yamato's ear.
It seems they were even enjoying it.
Then, Yamato felt deep regret for not making a quick getaway...
After a long while, a pile of fishing rods had been placed high on the ground.
Yamato wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling completely drained!
"A total of one thousand fishing rods. This is my limit, Hinata-san. Please."
Yamato clasped his hands together in supplication, for he was simply too exhausted to do much of this kind of strenuous work.
Building a hundred houses with Wood Release would be less strenuous than making a thousand fishing rods with Wood Release. Although fishing rods are small, they are still exquisite and require more chakra.
Seeing that Yamato looked dejected, Ye Chen didn't make things difficult for him; to do so would be toying with him.
A thousand is fine, it's enough anyway. I doubt he'll be able to fish a thousand times before sunset.
Furthermore, with a thousand fishing attempts, you're likely to get a dozen or so rare items, which should make leveling up much easier.
Hinata's figure reappeared by the lake.
This time, her small face was resolute, her teeth were clenched, and she was full of fighting spirit.
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained one copy of [Crayon Shin-chan Manga]! Proficiency +1!"
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained a copy of [Naruto Manga Volume 1]!"
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained one [Bedding] item! Proficiency +1!"
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained one [Socks with That Kind of Scent]! Proficiency +1!"
"bite!"
"Ding ding ding!"
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!"
"..."
After fishing for several hours, red clouds appeared on the horizon, and only a handful of fishing rods remained on the ground.
"It's all a bunch of useless junk, what the hell is this fishing system?!"
If this continues, even after a thousand fishing attempts, the skill level will still be a bit short of the required proficiency.
Ye Chen had no desire to take these "treasures" he caught with his fishing rod. He would just leave them by the lake to turn to ashes. He was too lazy to even expend the energy to set them on fire!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a pair of [Ram & Rem Sisters]! Proficiency +50!"
This time, I directly gained 50 proficiency points, filling the progress bar to the brim!
Two young girls were pulled out of the lake, their limbs flailing in the air like phantoms as they flew towards Ye Chen.
Snap!
It landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Ye Chen thought they were just two plush toys, but he never expected that they were actually two people!
No wonder his proficiency increased so much all at once.
Ye Chen caught the Ram and Rem sisters while fishing, and his fishing level successfully increased to level two!
"Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have raised your fishing level to Lv2. You have obtained the title: Novice Angler. Reward: A [Somewhat Excellent Fishing Rod]."
A fishing rod icon suddenly appeared in the system space.
At this moment, the two sisters also got up from the ground.
"Master, please save Princess Emilia! She's in grave danger!"
Hmm? Master?
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, but after sensing the master-servant contract between the twin sisters and him, he immediately understood what was going on. Whatever he caught belonged to him, so naturally Ye Chen was their master.
"So there are two more adorable little maids? Emilia, well, I'll try to fish them up too."
Ye Chen had already used up all one thousand fishing rods, so he simply took out the fishing rods that had just been awarded to him in the system space.
Some excellent fishing rods (silver quality): They know they are not good enough, so they are usually quite reserved and only start fishing when necessary.
"A talking fishing rod? How do you use it? Tell me how to fish for Emilia?"
"Just throw the fishing hook, I can fly by myself!"
Ye Chen immediately cast his line, and the hook sank as soon as it hit the water. When he pulled the line again, a beautiful young woman in white was caught on the line; she was unconscious.
