My Chaotic City

Chapter 014 AFK Fishing

"Generating stone-paved roads, opening up space... Is this how Chaos City is built?"

Li Hanqiang felt very novel. He quickly stepped forward and entered the small spacetime wormhole, which brought him to another world.

Looking up, one sees a clear pond, willow-lined banks, nine ancient-style pavilions built on all sides, and a small wooden boat moored on the shore.

Taking a deep breath, Li Hanqiang felt that even the air smelled sweet.

"This is truly a wonderful place," Li Hanqiang exclaimed.

Bibo Pond is not large, with a surface area of ​​only twenty acres, comparable to two football fields, but it is quiet and secluded, a place that cannot be found in the modern world.

After a brief examination, Li Hanqiang discovered that the nine pavilions and small wooden boats were all fishing spots, equipped with fishing rods and baskets, where players could fish.

The difference is that the pavilion is a fixed fishing spot, while the small wooden boat can be rowed to the middle of the lake, making it a mobile fishing spot, where the chances of catching high-quality fish are higher.

The fish caught can be sold in the system shop for gold coins, or they can be used as attribute fish for other purposes.

Another interesting feature is that fishing in the Azure Pool doesn't only yield fish; there's also a small chance of catching treasure chests, equipment, rare items, and more.

To put it bluntly, fishing is also a matter of luck.

Li Hanqiang immediately tried it out. He boarded a small wooden boat, rowed on the lake, and leisurely cast his fishing line.

After all, this is just a virtual game. Fishing is very simple and doesn't require the player to operate it manually. It's like a state where once the player activates it, the bait will be automatically placed and the fish will be automatically caught. If anything is caught, it will be automatically put into the fish basket.

"Isn't this just for players to AFK (away from keyboard)?" Li Hanqiang clapped his hands excitedly.

In modern virtual online games, if a player logs off, their character doesn't disappear into thin air; instead, they enter an AFK (away from keyboard) state.

The term "AFK" (away from keyboard) means doing absolutely nothing, just standing there dumbly, neither attacking nor defending, and certainly not having any invincible state, so you can be killed!

The main reason for this is to resist players who use offline disappearance to carry out a series of shameless tactics such as ambushing, stealing aggro, and diverting aggro.

Because of this offline AFK mode, the game has created places like shelters and inns specifically for players to log off, as well as some paid AFK spots where players can AFK forge iron, make medicine, etc., but these are very expensive.

Li Hanqiang immediately realized that the pavilion and wooden boat in the Bibo Pond were perfect spots for AFK fishing.

"What a steal! Five gold coins for such a beautiful pool, what a bargain!"

Li Hanqiang was overjoyed and couldn't help but start planning how to use the Bibo Pool to do something.

"It's about time I logged off to grab some food and drinks. I might as well leave the game running for a bit and check out the city lord's talent information online." With that thought, Li Hanqiang communicated with the system and requested to log off.

"System notification: The success rate of fishing will decrease while offline. Are you sure you want to log off?"

"Sure!"

Li Hanqiang took off his gaming helmet, checked the time, and saw that it was already 3:30 pm.

"Endless World" launched its open beta at 8 a.m. this morning. Before I knew it, I had been playing it for more than seven hours. Although I am still full of energy, my stomach is starting to rumble.

Finding his phone, Li Hanqiang quickly ordered takeout. In just ten minutes, the delivery robot rang the doorbell.

When Li Hanqiang opened the door, he was a little stunned. There were quite a few food delivery robots, a total of five.

Of course, only one of them was delivering food to himself; the other four were all delivering to the villas next door.

A long-haired woman wearing jeans is picking up her food.

"Lin Banyue!" Li Hanqiang's eyes lit up. "Why are you ordering takeout at this hour too?"

Li Hanqiang was unemployed and had nothing but a few villas. He made a living by collecting rent. The long-haired beauty not far away was the tenant who came yesterday. She was generous and paid half a year's rent at once, renting the entire villa next door.

The rent was a whopping 180,000.

She's a mysterious, aloof goddess who's incredibly wealthy, and Li Hanqiang is very curious about her identity.

"Hello Mr. Li, talk to you later." Lin Banyue seemed completely unwilling to talk to Li Hanqiang. After picking up the food, she hurriedly prepared to return to the villa.

She suddenly stopped in front of the door, turned around and glanced at Li Hanqiang, and said, "Mr. Li, do you also play 'Endless World'?"

"Of course! This game is so popular, how could I miss it? Let me tell you, I'm a top player. Do you want to play? I can teach you."

Lin Banyue smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "It's not necessary."

"What? Don't you believe in our strength?" Li Hanqiang asked.

He keenly sensed that Lin Banyue in front of him was quite arrogant. Could he be a gaming expert?

Lin Banyue remained noncommittal, then asked, "What profession did Mr. Li choose?"

"Of course it's the Lord of Chaos City. He owns a large city, which is high-end, classy, ​​and suits our status," Li Hanqiang said.

"Oh?" Lin Banyue's face showed a hint of disappointment. "This profession is not one that just anyone can do well."

"Do I look like an ordinary person to you?" Li Hanqiang asked.

Lin Banyue sized up Li Hanqiang and smiled, "Mr. Li is indeed not an ordinary person. It's a pity, though. I was originally planning to recruit Mr. Li into my team, but it won't work out if you choose the Chaos City Lord profession."

She paused for a moment, then added, "If Mr. Li is interested in the profession of Chaos City Lord, you can follow my live stream. I stream on Feibiao, and my ID is Half Moon Overturned City!"

"What?!" Li Hanqiang was shocked. "You're the legendary streamer, Half-Moon Beauty!"

Half Moon Overturns the City, this is the top streamer of the Endless World section on Feibiao Live. He has a wealth of information about the Endless World and is said to have even visited its mysterious inner world.

Because she had never shown her face and he had only heard her voice but never seen her, Li Hanqiang had always thought she was a fat, middle-aged woman and never imagined she could be a beauty. He never expected to catch her in person.

The amazing and beautiful live streamer is right next door!

This is exciting.

While Li Hanqiang was still in a daze, Lin Banyue had already closed the door. Li Hanqiang shook his head and quickly returned to his room.

He quickly ate his fill, then put on his gaming helmet. Instead of logging into the "Endless World," he connected to the internet and entered the live stream room of the popular streamer, Half-Moon Beauty.

The live stream wasn't running at the time, but Li Hanqiang clicked on the replay and, sure enough, saw the first-person perspective of [Endless World].

"Hello everyone, I'm Half-Moon City. Endless World has finally launched its open beta! I'll be playing as the Chaos City Lord, so come along with me and experience this unique lord class..."

"This Half-Month Beauty actually chose the Chaos City Lord profession too!" Li Hanqiang continued watching with great interest.
