In this gray sea, this streak of golden light was particularly dazzling.
"Such brightness!"
Melanie was suddenly surprised. Could Chen Qi have really fished out a deep-sea lantern fish?
"Hmm?"
Chen Qi flicked his fishing rod, and at that moment, hooked upon the fish hook was a round, golden little thing.
Its body was round, resembling a golden spherical lantern, and atop its head dangled a small golden apple.
Besides that, it also possessed two big, round, golden eyes, extraordinarily adorable.
A golden legend, the water elf? Both Chen Qi and the water elf on his shoulder were shocked.
At that moment, Melanie's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in amazement,
"Golden, Golden Apple, Apple Fish!"
Golden Apple Fish... Chen Qi faintly remembered the specific details about this little fellow.
Known as the Golden Fruit Fish, also named Golden Apple Fish, it was a type of Bell Phase extraordinary fish.
Furthermore, the Golden Apple Fish, symbolizing good luck and exploration, bore the golden apple atop its head, which was recognized as a super nutrient.
It was said that Golden Apple Fish bore fruit every fifty years. They would bestow the fruits to the sea beasts that protected them, and these sea beasts were at least on the level of the Black Light Dragon.
Thus, to obtain the golden apple from a Golden Fruit Fish, one must defeat a sea beast of the Black Light Dragon level!
Of course, there were also occasional exceptions, all dependent on luck.
With enough luck, simply passing by on a ship might mean finding a Golden Apple Fish.
Chen Qi dimly recalled that this small, glowing, spherical fish had appeared when they encountered the Black Rock Mecha.
Unexpectedly, it had followed them all the way here!
Melanie couldn't help but ask,
"Lamp Keeper, are you using a Dice Phase prop?"
The usually luckless Melanie showed an envious look. Being an experienced fisherwoman, she always believed that rare fish species like the Golden Apple Fish, Golden Fish, and Magic Lamp Fish only existed in books.
Those lucky enough to fish up rare Bell Phase fish species in the White Tower Federation Fishing Association would receive a super rare lucky fisher badge!
And now, she had actually witnessed a novice fisher with a sloppy posture and indifferent attitude catch the extremely rare Golden Apple Fish.
Indeed, the Sea of Calamity held many treasures... Chen Qi smiled happily as he picked up the Golden Apple Fish from the hook.
"May I take it?" Chen Qi gave the Golden Apple Fish a look and asked politely.
Golden Apple Fish: "Wow!✧⁺(●▾●)⁺✧!"
Yes... Chen Qi, smiling, directly used the Heartless Iron Hand to pluck the golden apple dangling from the Golden Apple Fish's head.
This dazzling golden light was just too adorable... At that moment, Chen Qi even felt that the Golden Apple Fish was ten times, no, a hundred times cuter than the water elf!
His view was interrupted by a prompt.
[Sea's Golden Apple
Phase: Bell, Lamp
Description: Consume the golden apple and achieve a transcendent body!
Effect: Containing special Bell and Lamp divine powers, consuming it provides continuous energy for twenty-four hours, as well as increased luck, learning efficiency, disease resistance, recovery, and stamina.
Furthermore, consuming it will also grant a hefty boost to physical and inspirational attributes.]
Chen Qi's eyes brightened.
It was truly a Golden Apple, offering many enhancements.
However, its main benefit was the boost in attributes.
After advancing to Third Rank, he needed extraordinary props to enhance physical qualities, becoming increasingly stringent.
Like the Yellow Needle Chen Qi obtained at Witch Sea, aside from providing enhancements, it already lacked additional attribute boosts.
Up until Legend, golden apples had been regarded as great nutrients.
The second benefit was increased learning efficiency, another remarkable enhancement, combining with his Lamp's Inspiration, he might grasp the Dark Flame Fist directly.
"Thank you~"
Chen Qi accepted the golden apple, gently touched the round Golden Apple Fish, and then threw it back into the sea.
"Wah!✧⁺(●▾●)⁺✧!"
The round-faced Golden Apple Fish blushed and swam in circles in the sea, then happily swam towards the ocean floor.
Melanie and the other White Tower Hunters watched this scene, feeling incredibly envious.
This man's luck was simply too good!
According to legend, seeing a Golden Apple Fish and making a wish could bring good luck.
The glasses hunter Alor, while sighing, made a secret wish:
"Wow! Bless me to pass the exam."
Mechanic Ma Li also earnestly made a wish:
"Bless me to eat however much I want without gaining weight."
A group of hopeless fellows... Among the seven White Tower Hunters, only Melanie didn't make a wish.
Instead, Melanie, looking serious, cast her white hunter's clothes behind her, revealing her muscular arms. Then from her backpack card, she took out her fishing rod valued at a hundred thousand!
Next, she retrieved a golden fishing badge made of gold from her backpack card and pinned it on her chest.
"Let me introduce myself: I am a senior golden fisher from the White Tower Federation Fishing Association, three-time city fishing champion!"
Who asked you... Chen Qi sensed an ominous aura.
Melanie, from childhood to adulthood and a top student at White Tower Federation College in her specialized field, always ignited a strange desire for competition.
Her motivation in studying and fighting was to surpass others and keep surpassing more.
Relying on this motivation and her Extraordinary Cardmaker family, Melanie always ranked high in every competition she participated in.
Back then, she firmly believed she was a true genius, destined to achieve the "White Tower Excellent Student" title many dreamt of, and might even get a chance to join the Lighthouse and the Knowledge Hunters Association.
