With a surge of immense force, the White Buoy soared through the air, creating ripples across the surface of the pond. According to the definition in My World, an open water area must meet specific criteria: it must be at least one meter deep, with a minimum length and width of one meter each, and there must be at least five blocks of air above it without any obstructions in between. Meeting these standards qualifies the area as open water.
Clearly, the pond excavated and constructed by Yun Xiao Yi not only met these conditions but exceeded them significantly. The White Buoy floated on the water's surface, swaying gently. Yun Xiao Yi patiently waited, but after about twenty seconds, there were still no bubbles rising from below. As he continued to wait for nearly forty seconds, suddenly, a flurry of bubbles surged rapidly towards the direction of the White Buoy. The fish was about to bite!
Unlike in real life, where a fish might struggle after being hooked, in the game, a fish biting the hook happens almost instantaneously. If he lifted the rod too early or too late, there was a chance he could lose the hooked fish. In My World, fishing required precise timing; any lapse in focus could result in failure. Fortunately, each fishing attempt didn't take long—usually no more than a few dozen seconds. If it took as long as half an hour or more like in reality, he would likely abandon this activity altogether.
The bubbles moved along a diagonal line until they reached directly beneath the White Buoy. Drawn by some hidden force, the White Buoy suddenly accelerated downward and vanished beneath the water's surface. The opportunity had arrived. Yun Xiao Yi swiftly lifted his rod; the Fishing Rod shot up into the air immediately. A slight tug transmitted from the rod to his hand, though it wasn't very strong. Considering that within My World, player character Steve possessed nearly limitless strength...
A small fish, of course, was powerless to resist. Then, a light blue fish about half a meter long broke the surface and fell onto the shore.
"Not bad, a fresh wild fish," Yun Xiao Yi said with satisfaction.
The raw fish was just the ordinary kind commonly found in My World. After trying to catch an old pair of Leather Boots and a Fugu, Yun Xiao Yi was already quite content. This fish wasn't worth much. Eating it raw would only satisfy a bit of hunger, roughly one hunger point. However, cooking it in a Furnace or over a campfire would turn it into Cooked Fish, which could replenish two and a half hunger points.
Yun Xiao Yi casually took the Furnace out of his backpack and set it aside, then placed the raw fish and some charcoal inside. The flames gradually spread, and after about ten seconds, the aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air as it was done.
Taking out the fish, Yun Xiao Yi examined its size; it weighed about ten jin. With the nearly perfect lighting effects here, it looked especially tempting. He then took out a small table from his bag, placed three wooden planks into the Furnace to craft four bowls, and set them on the table. Although the bowls appeared small in the game, they were nearly the size of small basins when seen in front of him.
Yun Xiao Yi placed the grilled fish into one of the bowls and said lightly, "If you're hungry, help yourselves."
Zhao Yun and the others stared at the fish in the bowl, unable to help but swallow hard. It looked truly delicious!
Since the drought began, food production in Zhao Family Village had been declining year after year. Even feeding themselves had become a problem, let alone raising livestock. To taste meat again, they had to rely on Zhao Yun venturing into Taihang Mountain. Zhao Yun indeed worked hard; every time he went up the mountain, he managed to bring something back. However, as the drought worsened, more and more desperate people flooded into the mountains searching for food.
Compared to these more agile competitors, wild game clearly stood no chance. The wildlife within Taihang Mountain was dwindling rapidly, and survivors were becoming increasingly cunning.
This caused Zhao Yun to gradually find fewer and fewer catches each time he went out. In recent outings, he had only managed to catch a few mountain chickens. For one person, a few chickens would be enough to satisfy; however, if shared among the entire village, there might not be enough for everyone to even taste.
Suppressing his own hunger, Zhao Yun asked, "Aren't you going to eat, Master?"
Looking at their eager eyes, Yun Xiao Yi shook his head and smiled. "You all eat first; I’ll go catch a few more."
With his response, they no longer hesitated and quickly divided the fish into three portions. Zhao Yun took the fish head, Zhao Yu took the fish body, and Zhao Yang grabbed the fish tail. The three of them closed their eyes and savored the delicious meal.
Before long, the ten-pound fish was devoured, leaving only some inedible bones and tiny spines. The fish in the game was not much different from those in real life, except that in the game, once eaten, it wouldn’t slowly digest in the intestines but would quickly transform into a warm flow that integrated into their bodies.
"That was satisfying," they said as they patted their full bellies while sitting on stone benches, feeling quite content. In the game, food did not cause any discomfort or bloating; even after eating to fullness, they still felt pleasantly satisfied. Of course, they could continue to eat if they wanted to; it just wouldn’t have any negative effects.
Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao Yi glanced at the three who had feasted well and shook his head before casting his rod back into the water.
