Ye Jun was rendered speechless by those players bantering. If I were indecent, I'd keep it for my own use!

He flung the hook into the sea again.

Not long after, feeling a slight sinking of his hand, he pulled up a broken barrel.

However, the barrel wasn't leaking. It wasn't useless and could be used to boil water and cook things!

Provided, of course, that he caught fish first; bread and nuts didn't have to be cooked.

Ye Jun fished again; he caught a worn slipper and a minute later.

Five minutes later, he caught a bike wheel.

Ten minutes later, he caught a broken fishing net.

Half an hour later, he caught a deflated basketball.

An hour later, he caught an ax with a rotten handle and a rusty head but rang when knocked on.

Ye Jun had become somewhat numb.

This rod can really catch anything but fish!

Why aren't any fish biting?

Ye Jun gritted his teeth, then broke a piece of bread and hung it up.

Now that it had bait, it was finally a serious fishing rod!

Ye Jun cast the rod out, controlled the line, and sank it seven or eight meters.

He didn't dare sink it too much; most deep water fish were carnivorous and didn't necessarily eat bread.

After ten minutes or so, his wrist suddenly sank slightly.

Got something!

As expected, a lively snapper was flung up, at least three or four pounds.

It became easy once he gained experience with it.

The fish came in schools.

Ye Jun soon had about 20 snappers in front of him, the largest weighing five or six catties, and the smallest two catties.

A great catch!

Ye Jun picked up his ax and knocked the largest snapper to death with a single blow.

"Ding! Killed a snapper (level 0), obtained the title of Beginner Hunter, +1 EXP, +6 copper coins."

With a thought, Ye Jun brought up the attribute panel.

As expected, the data displayed had changed again.

Player Ye Jun (death mode).

Titles Obtained:

Beginner Flame Controller. Fire Energy Level: 1 (0/100)

Beginner Hunter. Hunter Level 0 (1/10)

Flame Affinity: 10 (You can absorb 10 points of Fire Energy per day.)

Skills: Fireball (level 1)

Endurance: 70, Speed: 70, Strength: 80.

It seemed that animals were wild monsters, and killing them gave you experience for leveling up.

With a slight excitement in his heart, Ye Jun then knocked all the remaining snappers to death!

Killed snapper (level 0), reward +1 EXP, +2 copper coins.

Killed snapper (level 0), reward +1 EXP, +5 copper coins.

Kill snapper (level 0), reward +1 EXP, +3 copper coins.

Hunter level up, +1 Level, +10 Speed, +10 Endurance, +50 Strength.

…

When all the snappers were killed, Ye Jun's attributes included Hunter level 1 (9/100), Speed 80, Endurance 80, Strength 130.

It seemed that the physical aspects of Strength, Endurance, and Speed were increased when Hunters leveled up.

On the other hand, the main thing that Flame Controllers boosted when leveling up was Flame Affinity, which sped up the absorption of Fire Energy.

In popular terms, am I considered a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts?

On top of that, I have more than seventy copper coins.

But it's not a human society now, so what do I need money for?

Ye Jun looked inside the game and saw an in-game store, although still closed at the moment.

There's no telling what's in there, so I'd better keep these coins!

Ye Jun snapped his fingers and lit the fireplace, then he promptly threaded all the snappers and roasted them using a few branches.

The aroma wafted over the sea and made his stomach rumble.

Unfortunately, it didn't taste too good without the seasoning!

Ye Jun had a secret plan in mind, where he would evaporate brine to make some salt. Whether it was the taste of the food, or for his own consideration, salt was indispensable.

Evaporating brine to make salt and to exchange it for other things.

Ye Jun ate a grilled fish weighing three to four catties; he kept two of them, and then put the rest up on the trading channel:

"Sixteen grilled fish, the largest weighing six catties, the smallest two catties, can be exchanged for food, water, and wood."

The message immediately drew the attention of countless people after being sent out.

Still, many were deterred by the price Ye Jun had listed.

"A catty of fish for two catties of nuts, wild vegetables, and other food, or ten days of water, or a cubic meter of lumber!"

"Unscrupulous! Brother death player, you're really too dark… Even darker than Black Impermanence!"

"If I had two catties of nuts, wouldn't I keep them for myself?"

"Please, does a cactus count as a wild vegetable? It's awful and pricks my mouth. I want to eat grilled fish!"

"I have a lot of trees here. How many fish can I get for a tree? I'll start cutting trees right away!"

Despite many people calling Ye Jun black-hearted, too many people lacked food.

Beep, beep…

There were so many messages that Ye Jun couldn't even read them, so he merely set up an automatic transaction.

All sixteen grilled fish were bought in no time.

However, surprisingly, most of those deals were made with fresh water.

It wasn't surprising, since getting food was the hardest thing for players right then. Things were different when it came to water; there would be a constant supply once they found a source.

To his surprise, Yang Tianxing sent another message.

"Brother Ye, are there any more grilled fish left?"

"No more grilled fish. I can fish now if you need!"

Ye Jun was still polite to the moneybags, he had after all made a profit from the other party before.

"Brother Ye has a fishing rod?" Yang Tianxing was shocked.

What kind of tactics was this? It was only the second day of the game, and many people hadn't even built a shelter, while Ye Jun had started fishing and also caught so many already.

Ye Jun smiled. "Let's put the fishing rod aside. I have a fishing net—I fished it out of the sea. It's got a few holes but it can still be used with a little repair."

Yang Tianxing right then said ecstatically, "Brother Ye, can you exchange the fishing net with me?" They had found a water source and nuts in the deserted island mode they were in, but eating nuts wasn't enough. Their chances of survival would greatly improve if they had fishing nets to catch fish.

"Yes. I want twenty cubic meters of wood!"

Ye Jun currently had no shortage of food or water; the only thing he was worried about was the small raft.

He had to speed up the expansion of the little barge.

"Twenty cubic yards of wood is too much for the five of us to get, even if we went looking for it every day, mostly because we don't have the tools!"

"I have the tools. Do you guys want an ax?"

The ax was also useless for Ye Jun. He could give it to the other party to cut trees, which would be sold to him anyway, so he would still be dictating the price.

Wouldn't it be nice to lend the tools to the other person and let them work so he could sit back and enjoy the benefits?

Yang Tianxing's entire squad was completely shocked. Earlier, Ye Jun had gotten a lighter, then not only did he pick up a fishing net, but also an ax.

Is he really in death mode?

"Brother Ye, do you have anything else we can use?" replied Yang Tianxing while quavering inside.

"Yes, a silicone doll. Do you guys want it? For just one cubic meter of wood!"

Well…

I'm in group mode with all these people staring at the chat next to me!

It's too embarrassing!

Yang Tianxing coughed lightly and said righteously, "A cubic wood will be my gift to Brother Ye. You should keep the doll for yourself to use!"

"You really don't want it? Pure silicone, the kind that's worth at least a hundred grand! Don't you want to try it?"

Yang Tianxing glanced at the other four people, especially the two women staring at him. Sweat came down his forehead, and he trembled as he typed out a few words, "Can't use…"

It's over, I made a typo, I really meant to type that I have no use for it…

As expected, the others looked at him with a wry gaze.

"Brother Yang, we don't mind cutting down a few more trees if you really want it!"

"Brother Yang, us men know how it is!" the lanky man said.

"F**k you…

"What are you all doing here? Hurry up and cut down the trees!

"I'm going fishing!"

Yang Tianxing felt that he was going to lose his dignity.
