"You didn't accept the quest?" Li Huailin asked Anran about the situation as they walked towards Mount Michaelar. It turned out that Anran was not here to complete the quest. She did not receive any quest for fish cuisine at all. She was here because of her personal interests.
Anran was very interested in cooking, so her sub-profession in the game was Advanced. Anran's mentor, Furman, was also an Advanced Chef. He could no longer teach Anran, so Anran had finished her apprenticeship. She needed to find a Master Chef to continue learning. Furman introduced her to Larrion, the Master Chef.
Anran did not care who her mentor was, but she heard that Larrion was very good at cooking fish. She also heard from Furman about the world's best fish cuisine, so she came to find Larrion. She did not expect to meet Li Huailin.
"Ah, I didn't expect you to cook normally." Li Huailin sighed. Although the food Anran made tasted good, the ingredients were too strange. It was the first time he heard that Anran wanted to cook fish cuisine. He did not know why, but he felt inexplicably touched.
However, when he met Anran, Li Huailin suddenly remembered something, and that was the Heirloom. Li Huailin naturally wanted to collect it all. One of the Heirloom had fallen into Anran's hands in the previous quest. Just now, the system also notified that the Heirloom was still with Anran. It was just that Li Huailin did not notice it.
According to Li Huailin's original plan, he was going to get the Heirloom back in the S-Rank Professional Competition. However, things were unpredictable. If Anran was killed by another person with the Heirloom before then, it would be troublesome. Although Anran might know the other person's name, it might be a little troublesome if he could not find the other person.
After thinking about it, to be safe, Li Huailin directly used the tracking function of his artifact necklace. When Anran was not discovered, he directly located the location of the necklace. This way, he would know where Anran appeared. Anyway, the tracking function of the necklace had not been used yet. It was empty now, so he bought this as insurance.
The quest location was Mount Mikail, a large mountain in the northern part of the Empire. The nearest city was called Kailagibu. After teleporting there, Li Huailin followed the two on foot. Millet did not know why she allowed him to ride with an NPC, but riding with two players was not allowed. Anran and Su Ruoyan did not have mounts, so Li Huailin could only accompany them.
Because Anran did not like to talk to unfamiliar people, she did not communicate much with Su Ruoyan. However, she still talked a lot to Li Huailin. Of course, at this time, Anran took the opportunity to strongly recommend her new product to Li Huailin. It was called Patterned Lizard Kidney Skewers. The name sounded terrible, but just like before, the taste was surprisingly good. Li Huailin was very satisfied with Anran's cooking. She could even make such a strange thing taste so good. If it were not for these strange ingredients, perhaps Anran could have become a generation's God of Cooking.
According to the map provided by Larrion, Li Huailin's group smoothly advanced towards the direction of the lake. Soon, some small monsters appeared in front of them. They were wild beasts called Gray Brown Bears, named after the circle of gray hair around their necks.
Larrion had already warned Li Huailin about these bears before. He said that it was very dangerous to go up the mountain during this season because of these bears. Because it was almost time for the bears to give birth and hibernate, the bears were now seizing the time to store fat in preparation for the winter. At this time, the bears would basically eat anything, including humans. Therefore, during this season, the corpses of humans eaten by these bears were often found on the mountain.
Of course, to Li Huailin, these bears were only Level-51 monsters with only about 6,600 HP. In fact, they could not even block a normal slash from Li Huailin. Moreover, these bears appeared alone, not in groups. It was said that when these bears were hungry, they would even eat their own kind. In this way, they were even less of a threat to Li Huailin's group. Hence, the journey was very smooth. So far, Li Huailin had not seen an A-rank hidden difficulty.
On the other side, Ceci was recording something in her small notebook as she walked. She said that it was the content of her new book. Last time, she published a book that almost killed Li Huailin. This time, Li Huailin did not know what she was planning. Anyway, Li Huailin did not want to participate.
Soon, the three of them walked and turned into a relatively hidden path. They walked along the path and after a while, they saw a lake in front of them. As Larrion said, the location of this lake was really difficult to find. It happened to be in a narrow space between a few mountains. It was completely invisible from the foot of the mountain. Without a map, it would probably take half a day to find it.
The scenery by the lake was very good. Although it was close to winter, most of the trees on the mountain were evergreen, so it was still green. It was also close to night, and the setting sun just happened to shine on the lake. It was a very peaceful scene.
Next to the lake, they also saw a wooden hut. Next to the hut was a very simple small dock made of a few wooden planks. On top of the dock, they saw a person sitting there holding a fishing rod. With the setting sun, they felt that it was a good match.
"That's the fisherman's NPC, right?" Li Huailin said. Larrion had also mentioned this person before. It was the person that his friend was responsible for protecting the moon fish. Li Huailin looked at the person's name. It was Pavle.
"This …" The three walked over. Just as Li Huailin was about to ask about the situation, Pavle suddenly waved his hand to stop them. He then said in a serious tone, "Shh!"
"Ah?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised.
"Be quiet, you scared the fish away," Pavle said.
"Oh, I know," Li Huailin replied in a small voice.
"It's been a long time since anyone found this place." Pavle also said in a small voice. "Alright adventurers, what do you want?"
"This." Su Ruoyan said as she handed over Larrion's letter. After all, she was the one doing the quest.
Pavle took the letter and opened it with one hand, "Larrion? I remember this person. He came here four years ago, and his cooking skills are not bad … You want the moon fish here? "
"Yes," Su Ruoyan replied.
"Can I ask why? You know that the moon fish here are probably the last on the continent. As a fish lover, I have a duty to protect them, "Pavle said as he continued to fish.
"It's like this, my pet …" Ceci hurriedly explained the situation to Petrov.
"It doesn't sound fake," Pavle said as he nodded. Bidler nodded. "It's true that the Moon Fish's meat is delicious. If it's used as an ingredient for patients, it might even help them recover. Since that's the case, I won't stop you."
"Thank you, master," Ceci immediately said.
"Then you guys can fish on your own," Pavle added.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised. "We're fishing on our own?"
"Of course," Pavle said. Bidler immediately said, "If you don't want Moon Fish for yourselves, there are some in the lake. You can fish for yourselves. If you don't have a fishing rod, I have a spare one in my room."
"Sigh …" Li Huailin didn't expect that he would have to fish on his own. He thought that the NPC would give him a fishing rod after he finished speaking. "You don't know how to fish at all? Which one of you knows how?"
"Fishing is a secondary profession," Anran said.
"Eh? There's a secondary profession called fishing? " Li Huailin said in surprise. He didn't care about the secondary profession at all. He couldn't learn it anyway. "Have any of you learned it?"
"No." Su Ruoyan shook her head. "I learned Alchemy. I don't have time to fish."
"I don't either." An Ran shook her head and said, "I learned cooking."
"If you haven't learned it yet, I can teach you," Pavle said.
"Eh? I have to learn it on the spot? " Li Huailin said. According to the game's nature, fishing would definitely require a certain amount of experience. It would take a certain amount of practice to catch the moon fish. However, this was too troublesome. How long would it take?
"Don't worry, I have a way." As Li Huailin was having a headache, Anran suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? What way? "Li Huailin immediately asked.
Anran didn't reply. Instead, she walked to the pier and dipped her hand into the lake. Then, she started stirring the water.
"Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?" Pavle immediately asked.
"Catching fish," Anran replied simply.
"You call that catching fish? You're an amateur. Don't even mention catching fish, you're scaring the fish away, "Pavle immediately said.
"Ah, I got it." Anran suddenly waved her hand and slapped the water. A black object was slapped to the ground by Anran. It was a small black fish, and it was jumping around on the grass.
"What?" Bidler was dumbfounded. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"F * ck!" Li Huailin was also shocked. "Are you a f * cking bear?"
