Chapter 4 Turtle Mount

Standing on the beach, Yang Yi stared at his murloc body in a daze. He finally accepted the reality—he really became a murloc.

If his real body turned into a murloc, Yang Yi might be shocked by this horrible change. He was more surprised than frightened that the body in the Azeroth world he controlled had turned into a murloc.

After carefully looking up and down again, Yang Yi found that the scales of the murloc's body were covered with a thin layer of mucus. And he found that the scales of the murloc were not all uniformly golden, and there were many light spots and stripes on his body.

Yang Yi did not find out the reason why he turned into a murloc, so he could only give up the search temporarily. He began to move his limbs to adapt to this new murloc body.

Murlocs always bend their knees and hunch backs when walking, which is a bit weird, but humanoid creatures that walk upright on their legs are generally similar to humans.

After moving around on the beach, Yang Yi began to slowly adapt to the way the murloc walked and then he began to try to run.

Then, a golden fishman stumbled and ran wildly on the beach like a headless fly.

Perhaps because he had just adapted to his body, Yang Yi soon felt that the fishman's body began to get tired after running around. The blue fishman stopped not far from the sea turtle.

"It's not bad to become a fishman. At least I have only one store." Yang Yi began to comfort himself and began to accept the reality calmly.

"That sea turtle has been motionless. I don't know if it's dead or alive?"

The sea turtle still lay motionless on the beach with its limbs and head shrunk. After Yang Yi adapted to the body of the fishman, he turned his attention to it.

"Is it pretending to be dead? What kind of alien is this sea turtle? It has grown so big?" Yang Yi stared at the turtle with his eyes and was a little confused. Suddenly, a row of information appeared in front of him.

[Name]: Sea turtle

[Type]: Mount

[Description]: This mount does not move very fast on land, but it is very different in water.

[Master]: Murloc Lord

Yang Yi was stunned when he saw the information in front of him. He suddenly remembered that the goblins in Ratchet City had told him that as natives, they could see the names and properties of some items through some skills.

"Murlocs and goblins are both natives of this world of Azeroth. Not only have I become a murloc, but I have also gained the abilities of natives!"

Yang Yi was delighted. He focused on the sea turtle again, and the information of the sea turtle appeared in front of him again.

"This sea turtle is actually a 'mount', and it has a master? Who is this 'Murloc Lord'? This sea turtle is injured and alone here. His master may have met with an accident."

So far, Yang Yi has not heard of any adventurer who got a mount. After seeing the information about the sea turtle and knowing that the sea turtle is a mount, Yang Yi plucked up his courage, picked up a long wooden stick on the beach, and walked close to the sea turtle.

Dongdong.

Yang Yi kept his distance and poked the thick brown shell of the sea turtle twice with the wooden stick.

"Hey... still alive... right?"

Because he was not used to the structure of the fishman's throat, Yang Yi was not very fluent when he spoke.

After being poked twice by Yang Yi with a wooden stick, the huge body of the sea turtle began to shake.

This sea turtle was not dead.

Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff...

Just like pulling out the cork of a red wine bottle, the sea turtle popped its head, tail and limbs out of its big shell one by one.

Yang Yi found that this sea turtle looked completely listless. Although its head stuck out of the shell, its eyes only barely opened a small gap.

It turned out that the limbs and head of the sea turtle were injured in the hurricane. At this time, the wounds have not yet healed completely, and blood can be seen oozing out of the wounds.

This was the first time Yang Yi carefully observed this sea turtle. The limbs and head of the sea turtle were light blue, and it carried a thick and huge brown shell on its back.

What surprised Yang Yi was that the limbs of this sea turtle were cylindrical and had thick nails on them. It looked like a land turtle, not like most sea turtles that live in water.

The sea turtle stretched out its head, tail and limbs for a while and then slowly retracted them into its shell. It seemed that retracting its body into the shell could make the injured body feel better.

Yang Yi had some ideas about this sea turtle mount, but he had no choice after the sea turtle retracted into its shell.

Gurgle gurgle~

Yang Yi's stomach gurgled. His fishman body was hungry. The gurgles of fishmen when hungry were much louder than those of humans.

When you are hungry, you naturally have to find food. As a fishman, Yang Yi has no copper coins in his clean and sleek clothes. What's more, the nearby Ratchet City has become a ruin. The goblins in the city are dying or running away. It is impossible to buy food.

Yang Yi thought about his only specialty in Azeroth, which was fishing. Even though he became a murloc, his fishing skills were still there. So he walked towards the ruins of Ratchet City with murloc steps, hoping to find a fishing rod in the ruins, or at least find some fishing line to make a fishing rod himself.

Ratchet City had nothing left after being hit by a hurricane, looted by pirates, and plundered by countless ruins treasure hunters for several days. There were only a few adventurers in the ruins of Ratchet City, and they wanted to look for others to find any bargains.

An adventurer was the first to see Yang Yi, the fishman, approaching. He was so scared that he dropped his things and ran away.

"The fishman is coming!"

Other adventurers heard the shouts and ran away.

"I am so despised!" Yang Yi was stunned when he saw the adventurers running away in a hurry to avoid him, but soon understood. "If I met a fishman approaching a few days ago, I would probably have the same reaction."

Never mind, it's best to run away so that I can find things.

Ratchet City was originally a port city with rich fishery resources. There were many indigenous people in the city who made a living by fishing. Fishing rods, fish baskets and bait were the most common items, so Yang Yi quickly found a fishing rod in the grass by the dock.

[Name]: Fishing Rod

[Quality]: Ordinary (white)

[Level]: Level 1

[Type]: Fishing Rod (two-handed)

[Damage]: 2-4 damage

[Speed]: 3.00 seconds

[Durability]: 11/16

[Features]: Can be used as a fishing tool

“Yes, the goblin merchant once said that the goods they sell are divided into rough (gray), ordinary (white), excellent (green), fine (blue), etc. according to their quality. This fishing rod is at least an ordinary quality equipment.”

After Yang Yi found the fishing rod, he rummaged around for a while and found a small bottle of fishing bait [Nightworm] and a fish basket. Then Yang Yi searched in the ruins of Ratchet City and found a [Fisherman's Knife]. Then he walked towards the wooden pier where he used to fish with satisfaction.

The wooden pier has also been destroyed. Yang Yi found a reef nearby where he could see a large turtle in the distance as a fishing spot.

Yang Yi has been fishing in this area for a month. He skillfully put the nightworm on the hook, and then swung the fishing rod, and the float and fishing line were thrown into the sea in a beautiful arc.

Next, Yang Yi watched the big turtle from time to time and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.

For many people, fishing as a long-term job is boring, but fortunately Yang Yi likes fishing, which made him persist in it before.

Yang Yi had good luck today. He got a harvest in less than half an hour. A slippery mackerel was caught.

Slippery mackerel and colorful fin fish are the two most common fish in the Ratchet Harbor. The price is comparable. In comparison, Yang Yi prefers the taste of the former.

Yang Yi did not have a flint to make a fire to roast fish. Fortunately, he found a fisherman's knife in the ruins of Ratchet just now. He used the knife to deal with the slippery mackerel and then ate sashimi.

The seawater in the Ratchet Bay is not polluted by chemical products. Fresh sea fish is delicious when made into sashimi, especially the smooth-skinned mackerel, which has a soft texture and is easy to chew and digest.

Yang Yi never got tired of eating smooth-skinned mackerel before. This time, I don’t know if his eating habits have changed after he turned into a fishman, but this smooth-skinned mackerel tastes like a delicacy.

This smooth-skinned mackerel is more than 40 centimeters long and weighs three or four kilograms. After eating the fish, Yang Yi regained his strength and began to fish leisurely.

Half a day later, Yang Yi harvested two more smooth-skinned mackerels and two colorful fin fish.

Generally, people who are not interested in fishing would feel bored and go to rest after fishing for half a day and harvesting enough fish to eat, but Yang Yi still silently stared at the fish float that fluctuated with the sea water. He has developed a habit in the past month. Fishing is not a leisure but a job for him.

The float in the seawater sank suddenly after a while. The fishing rod in his hand felt a pull. Yang Yi shook his hands holding the fishing rod steadily, and a black bighead fish was caught out of the sea. This is a rare blackmouth fish.

"Ding! Comprehend professional skills - fishing."

"Fishing level: Level 1."

An inexplicable voice sounded in Yang Yi's ears.

Skills? !

Fishing skills! ! !

Yang Yi has learned about the world of Azeroth for a month, and has heard many people's analysis of this world.

Some people speculate that this is actually a real planet, but for some unknown reason it was transformed into a world with strange laws. The natives of this world with strange laws don't know what high-tech or magic creation it is, because the natives of the world of Azeroth can learn various magic skills, combat skills, and also have professional skills in life such as fishing, cooking, and skinning.

Although humans as outsiders are stronger than on Earth and can more easily improve their strength through exercise, no one has yet found a way to use any skills like the natives. Fortunately, humans as outsiders have the ability to resurrect and go online.

"If the humans on Earth who control the bodies of the Azeroth world are compared to players, then these natives of the Azeroth world are NPCs. So what am I like now? A murloc NPC controlled by a player!?" Yang Yi used to play online games, so he always regarded these natives as NPCs in online games.

Regardless of whether Yang Yi and those online game players' guesses are correct, Yang Yi realized the huge potential of his murloc body. This time he was not comforting himself. He was full of expectations for the development after transforming into a murloc.

The use of fishing skills is not complicated. Yang Yi figured it out after a while of groping.

"Fishing!"

Yang Yi shouted, and then his fishman body started to automatically put bait on the hook as if there was another person controlling it, and then cast the line to fish. The whole set of movements was neat and tidy, completely like the style of a fishing veteran.

This series of movements is not mandatory. Yang Yi can control his body to move automatically after relaxing his body. He can stop these movements halfway with a little effort.

It turns out that this is the so-called fishing skill. It is not necessary to learn the fishing technique in reality. As long as you learn the skill, you can naturally do a good job of fishing.

Yang Yi continued to experiment a few more times and found that it was not necessary to shout out the words. You can activate the fishing skill as long as you recite it in your heart. This fishing skill is really convenient. Yang Yi only needs to pay attention to retracting the rod in time after the fish is hooked.

With the fishing skill, Yang Yi was even more reluctant to leave the sea reef. He fished on the sea reef for another afternoon.

Because he used the skill every time, his body moved automatically, so he could harvest sea fish leisurely.

What's even more powerful is that due to his skills, his fishing movements are completely error-free, just like a robot. As long as he doesn't miss the opportunity to reel in the rod, the fish will have almost no chance of escaping after being hooked.
