Although the village was poor, its inhabitants were very hospitable. Compared to the people in the big cities who tend to act indifferent, this place could be considered a paradise. Whenever an elder saw Qin Feng, they would say something along the lines of, “Little Qin, you’re back?” Some aunties would even invite him over for dinner.

Qin Feng had to thank his grandfather, whom he had technically never met before. Back then, his grandfather was the village chief. He was a man with many great abilities and had solved countless problems for the villagers. Naturally, everyone respected him.

Upon thinking of this, Qin Feng felt discouraged. He did not inherit any of his grandfather’s great abilities and could not even pass the entrance test to be a martial artist. Moreover, he had lived two lifetimes.

In his previous life, Qin Feng was also an orphan. His current life was slightly better because he was not actually abandoned. Rather, his parents died in a battle with beasts. Due to that, his grandfather took care of him before he even turned one. Unfortunately, his grandfather died when he was five years old. For most of his life, he grew up alone.

As for the cause of death of the original host, it was not some melodramatic plot. He simply practiced martial arts too much in addition to not eating proper meals. The lack of nutrition caused a toll on his body and he died during one of his practice sessions.

Holding the cleaning tools, Qin Feng and some aunties began cleaning up the old house. These aunties volunteered to help. At first, Qin Feng was reluctant but in the end, he could not resist their hospitality. The house was cleaned in just three hours. During this time, someone offered him a bowl of rice. In a blink of an eye, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

If it was the original host, he would have already started practicing martial arts. Qin Feng wanted to do the same. However, his training equipment was still being shipped. The signal around this place was not very good either and his broadband would take at least three more days to arrive. Therefore, Qin Feng sat absentmindedly near the small pond in front of his house. While resting his chin, he looked at the reflection in the pond. Suddenly, something piqued his interest. He quickly got up and went into the old house. Shortly after, he was holding a homemade fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing rod was made from ordinary willow branches. Meanwhile, the fishing line happened to be something that he had bought during his trip to the grocery store. As for the fishing hook, Qin Feng found a paperclip and bent it slightly. Although the fishing rod was simple and crude, it works.

Qin Feng did not expect to get any fish. After all, the pond was neglected for a long time. It was probably just a pool of muddy water. Still, this was his only way of killing time. Like a fool, Qin Feng sat on a wooden chair and began fishing while letting his imagination run wild. As long as his mind was occupied, time would pass by very quickly.

The sunlight gradually dimmed. It was dusk and a layer of golden afterglow shone on Qin Feng’s body through the clouds. If photographers saw it, they would definitely take pictures and post them in magazines. Regretfully, the photographers in this world only cared about martial arts or things that were related such as ferocious beasts and mystic realms. They would not even bother with natural scenery.

Qin Feng had been sitting near the pond for about two hours. It was unlikely he would catch anything. He stood up and was about to pull the fishing rod back. Dinner time was getting close. Just as he got up, the fishing rod suddenly moved. At first, Qin Feng thought it was just his imagination and sighed deeply. He grabbed the fishing rod and planned to put it away.

The strong force snapped Qin Feng back into reality. He realized it might actually be a big catch and reeled in with all his might.

A fish broke out of the water. Qin Feng did not know if it was related to photosynthesis, but the water droplets around the fish were colorful. Moreover, when he looked closely, he noticed the fish’s tail looked like a dragon’s tail. It gave off an indescribable sense of mystery.

The fish fell to the ground and began jumping around wildly. Clearly, it wanted to return to the pond. Qin Feng was still stunned by the sight. He could not help but take a few more glances. When he looked into the fish’s eyes, a horrifying scene followed. The fish appeared to possess intelligence. It looked at Qin Feng with uncontrollable anger as if it was saying, “F*ck you!” repeatedly.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Qin Feng would have laughed at himself for letting his imagination run wild. The fish jumped higher and higher. If Qin Feng did not do anything, it would soon return to the pond.

“Pa!”

Qin Feng subconsciously picked up a brick and smashed it on the fish’s head. The brick broke. Although the fish’s head was slightly injured, it was still alive and kicking. Its eyes looked even more ferocious and a killing intent could be felt.

Regardless, Qin Feng could not explain what was happening in front of him. He panicked and took a sharp knife from somewhere.

“Gush!”

Qin Feng stabbed the knife into the fish’s vulnerable white eye. The fish struggled and rolled around in pain. A tremendous force was released, causing Qin Feng to fall backward.

“Thud.”

The fish had been dehydrated for a while. Coupled with Qin Feng’s stab, it finally stopped moving after a few minutes.

All of a sudden, a voice could be heard in Qin Feng’s mind.

“Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for catching [ Level 2 demon beast – Dragon Tail Fish ].”

“You can use the Myriad World Pond again after it is refreshed. Cooldown: 7 days.”

“Ding Dong! You’ve gained experience points +1 (1/10)”
