[Fishing + System + Heartwarming + Power Fantasy + Leisure + The thrill of random blind-box fishing. Anglers can catch anything but fish.]
Others cultivate immortality through hard work. Lu Yu does it by fishing.
After transmigrating to the cultivation world, he becomes the family good-for-nothing, bullied by everyone, but awakens the Myriad Worlds Blind-Box Fishing Rod System: cast your line to draw a prize, and you can fish up anything.
On his first cast, he catches a Ten-Year Cultivation Pill and breaks through on the spot;
On his tenth, he reels in the remnant soul of a Sword Immortal, who bows in his green robes and pledges to serve him;
On his fiftieth, he pulls up a nine-tailed celestial fox cub, and a silver-haired little girl hugs him and calls him Master;
On his hundredth, even a Dragon Palace musician takes the bait, playing by the lake every day to entertain him...
From then on, Lu Yu enjoys a heavenly life: raising kids and teasing pets at home, while swaggering around like a breeze outside.
When his enemies come knocking, he’s grilling spirit fish in flip-flops. “Qingfeng, go chop some vegetables.”
When a treasure appears in a secret realm, he casts his line from a corner. “Qianqian, help Dad see which fish is the fattest.”
When a big shot from the immortal realm arrives, he yawns. “Lanyin, change the background music. This song’s messing with my casting.”
Then one day, the line sinks so deep he can’t pull it back.
Lu Yu hauls with all his might
And catches a white-robed Immortal Emperor, who has slept through the ages and awakens to see an era come and go.
The Immortal Emperor drops to one knee. “My lord, I’ve waited thirty thousand years for this cast.”
Lu Yu looks at his battered fishing basket, then at the horde of hungry underlings behind him, and sighs.
“So... do you know how to fish?”
This book ends here. It has a hasty ending. I am planning to start a new book, but I don't have time so I can only do this first.
