Start in Another World With All Cooking Skills

"Uh, what should I prepare first for fishing?"

"I don't know. But I seem to remember that the nest must be made first."

"Huh? What does [make a nest] mean?"

"Forget it, don't care about these details."

"..."

The three of Donn stood on the beach and discussed for a long time, but nothing of value was discussed.

Later, they called out the hyena who was still practicing target shooting in the story world.

But the hyena brother is a hunter, he can only catch flying things and running things on the ground. For him, things that swim in the water are a bit out of line.

In the end, Dawn found the long-winded fisherman informant first.

After all, the deformed fish was encountered by that person while fishing. Ask the other party about the specific details of the encounter, maybe you can learn more, and then find a way to catch the deformed fish.

...

To find the fisherman's informant, you must first go back to the [Storm and Sea Waves] tavern.

Argo, the owner of the tavern, is still very efficient.

After Dawn expressed his needs, about two hours later, he returned with a middle-aged man with a thin body and a sallow complexion to hand in the task.

This person should be the fisherman who encountered the deformed fish.

"Sir and miss, I heard that you want to see me."

"Hmm. What's your name?"

"Luther, sir, my name is Luther." The middle-aged man rubbed his rough hands.

After seeing Dorn and the others, the informant was very nervous, cramped, and uneasy.

For him, Argo, who ran a tavern in Marlow and kept a gang of thugs, was quite a figure.

As for these extraordinary gentlemen and ladies in front of them, even Argo would treat them humbly.

That must be the great of the great.

"Luther, don't be nervous. I just came here to ask you a few questions. If you answer well, there will be a reward." Donn showed a friendly and polite look.

"Sir, tell me, tell me." Luther laughed.

"I heard that you met a fish that could turn into a human at the Turtle Reef a few days ago?" Dawn cut to the chase and got straight to the point.

After hearing this question, Luther showed hesitation, as if he wanted to see but dared not speak.

So, Dondo added: "It's okay, you can rest assured that I have read the information you handed in."

After confirming that the gentleman in front of him had the authority to read the information he submitted, Luthor opened up the chatterbox, telling what had happened to him the past two days.

"It's the way it is. My husband..."

Luther dictated his experience on Turtle Reef, the general content was no different from the information he submitted, and even the verbosity was perfectly reproduced.

"Okay, besides these accidents, do you have any details to add?" After patiently listening to the other party, Don pinched the center of his eyebrows.

Luther: "Sir, what details?"

"You said you were fishing when you encountered the strange fish, right? Where did you fish on the Turtle Reef? When? Did you use any special bait?"

After hearing a series of questions, Luther first nodded in trepidation, and then answered whatever was asked:

"In terms of location, it's on a small cliff next to the white sand beach of Turtle Reef."

"Then I met that kind of fish at night, when the moon was rising in the sky. I don't have any other hobbies, but I like fishing. I often forget the time and catch very late."

"As for the bait, there is nothing special, it is the most commonly used nematodes and earthworms."

Don touched his chin: "Aside from these, is there anything else? For example, did you do anything extra before meeting that deformed fish?"

"If I had to say something extra. I seemed to be singing, sir."

"Huh? Sing?"

"Yes." Luther scratched his head embarrassingly, "It's just that I sat on the beach staring at the fishing rod for a long time, but I didn't catch any fish anyway, so I just yelled a couple of sailor songs to cheer me up."

The fisherman encountered the deformed fish just two days ago, the time interval was very short, and the encounter was bizarre enough.

So the specific details are still relatively clear.

Donne stopped talking now.

He imagined the scene of the middle-aged uncle fishing in front of him——

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and this uncle was sitting alone on the cliff of the bleak and quiet island fishing, and would sing a chant song to cheer himself up from time to time.

It really doesn't feel like something normal people can do.

In other words, singing while fishing, won't it really scare the fish away...

This question was very rewarding.

Dorn and the others at least knew some important information related to the deformed fish. This fish may be used to being nocturnal and may be easily attracted to the singing of rough men.

"Luther, this silver coin is your reward for answering the question well." Donn took out a silver coin from his body and handed it out.

The lucky fisherman naturally accepted the money with gratitude.

He never expected that as long as he simply answered a few questions, he could get a reward of a silver Gnar!

The generosity of this gentleman is impressive!

You know, after the information about the deformed fish was secretly sent to the Argo Tavern, only ten coppers were exchanged in total.

Something even more unexpected to Luther is yet to come.

After he carefully put away a silver coin, the black-haired and black-eyed gentleman on the opposite side made another move, and he slowly put out nine big coins on the table!

A total of nine pieces!

The shiny silver coins reflect a dizzying, heart-pounding metallic luster.

Donne said: "Help me with one more thing, and the nine silver Gnars on the table will also be yours after the completion. Counting the one I gave you just now, it just makes up the whole."

Luther swallowed and nodded vigorously: "Sir, tell me."

Is it possible to make up the whole thing like this?

He is so cute that this Mr. Big Man counts!

Don just smiled lightly, pointing to the money on the table:

"It's already night, but the moon hasn't risen to the sky yet. I want you to go to Turtle Reef with us. How did you fish before, and how do you still fish now? We plan to hunt shape-shifting fish."

"It doesn't matter if the deformed fish doesn't show up tonight, the nine silver coins are still your hard work."

Hearing the way to make extra money this night, Luther instinctively wanted to refuse:

"Sir, that fish is scary. Before that beast turned into me, I saw two rows of pointed fangs growing in its mouth! I think it can eat people..."

But halfway through the speech, he stopped himself again, and his eyes stayed on the cute and dazzling silver coins on the table.

"I... I'm going to sir. I'm going to pack the fishing gear right now."

Before Dawn could guarantee safety or add money, the simple island fisherman changed his mind.

When Luther temporarily left to pack the fishing equipment for tonight, Dawn turned his head and looked at his teammates around him: "Is the shape-shifting fish aggressive? Will it eat people?"

Miss Goblin shook her head, expressing that she was not clear.

She can indeed be regarded as half a small encyclopedia of scenery and knowledge of miraculous lands, but the knowledge related to the island happens to be in the other half that she doesn't know much about.

Gregor shook his head:

"I saw the dried fish of a deformed fish at Favna's before. After the thing dies, it will return to its original shape. It is as big as a dolphin. The mouth is not big, but it has two rows of fangs. It looks real. Like a carnivorous beast."

Don nodded, understanding.

A monster like a shape-shifting fish would definitely not be able to bring any real threat to them.

The reason why I asked more was to confirm whether Luther, who was sent by him with ten silver coins as bait to catch deformed fish tonight, would be in danger.

To avoid an accident, the deformed fish was not caught, and the fisherman was dragged into the sea to make a nest for the fish.

...

turtle reef.

That night, Dorn and his party returned to this small rocky island with Luthor who was ready.

Sister Mayer, the nun, still didn't get involved.

She seemed to despise the behavior of doing such leisurely activities during the emergency preparation stage.

Even going out to fish in the middle of the night is, in a sense, an important part of completing the hunting demigod plan.

The cardinal is still staying in the information room of the tavern. There are piles of papers in front of the table, and the detailed battle plan is almost out to PlanC.

Anyway, it is a model of conscientiousness.

As for the hyena, who has been practicing target shooting in the story world today, it is time to come out to let the air go.

The temporarily added activity of hunting deformed fish made the young man very excited.

The moon and stars are rare.

There are no conspicuous stars in the night sky, only a full moon hangs quietly in the sky.

The island of Turtle Reef, except for the beach, is a towering reef.

There is only a short cliff on the edge of the white sand beach, and the current under the cliff is not very fast. It seems to be a good place for fishing.

Luther has already set up the fishing rod here, and stayed up fishing just like a few days ago.

But his state of mind at this time is more than twice as tense as it was a few days ago.

Behind the fisherman was a sparse forest of islands.

Among them, Dawn and Vivian stayed on the east side of the forest, and Greg Lu, master and apprentice, held a longbow and a big gun and stayed on the west side.

They all look ready.

Dawn also used the power of [Earth Element Affinity] to summon a small light group of the earth element, and covered the breath of the four with the smell of the island soil.

Time passed slowly, and the full moon above the sea was also gradually climbing to a higher place, but it hadn't reached the highest point yet.

"Dawn, the moon is so round tonight, and the moonlight on the sea is so beautiful."

Because there was no movement from Uncle Fisherman for a long time, Vivienne, who was holding an ebony staff, turned her attention to the sea surface.

"Well, it's the full moon." Donne also raised his eyes a little bit upwards, "In my hometown, there are many beautiful festivals during the full moon."

"Is it all about the moon?"

"That's not all. But people in my hometown like to associate the ups and downs of the moon with the joys and sorrows of life. When the moon is full, people are reunited, which is suitable for festivals."

"Sounds romantic."

Miss Goblin nodded half-understood, she knew that what Dawn said was not a custom in this land of miracles.

After a while, Vivienne spoke softly again: "Does Dorn miss home?"

"Huh?" Dawn looked a little surprised, probably because he didn't expect to hear such a question suddenly, "Occasionally a little bit."

There was a brief silence.

"Well—I'll be with you, I won't leave you here alone."

Miss Goblin opened her mouth and said something that might mean something, then stood on tiptoe and reached out to pat Dawn on the head.

The slightly salty night wind from the island blows over, gently lifting the silver hair around her ears.

Because of the difference in height between the two, Vivienne's action might look funny to others, but she took it very seriously.

After a while, the moon climbed up again and rose to a position close to mid-air.

Seeing this, Luther began to sing vigorously in order to be worthy of the nine silver coins.

He sang a "yo ho yo ho" sailor's song, rough, to put it mildly. Maybe because of the nervousness, it's still very out of tune.

Inside the island woods.

Dawn pressed his temple: "It's like every note of this song falls on a position I didn't expect."

"Is the deformed fish really attracted by this kind of singing?" Vivienne also looked confused.

However, ugly is ugly.

Dawn thought about it from another angle, maybe the deformed fish was not attracted by the beauty of the singing?

After all, it is a fish monster, and it cannot be demanded with human sensory aesthetics.

Judging from Uncle Luther's singing performance on the spot, Dawn now suspects that if the shape-shifting fish really tends to the sound, it may be attracted by attributes such as the frequency of the sound.

For example, although the song of the fisherman is not good to sing, it happens to be the frequency that a certain deformed fish likes.

Luther sang for a while longer.

Maybe he was really emboldened by his own singing, his voice was much louder. But it's a pity that I haven't seen any fish that can turn into a human shape, grow hands and feet, and climb ashore in the moonlight.

It was another song of indulgence.

Luther was probably a little tired from singing, so he stopped singing, held the fishing rod in one hand, and took a sip of water from the water bag beside him.

Before he swallowed this sip of water, he felt the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sink.

As if something had bitten the hook.

The fisherman was startled, he just thought it was that terrible deformed fish coming again.

But then, his rich fishing experience made him feel wrong.

The shape of the deformed fish is very large, as big as a dolphin, so the force of the bite should be very strong.

Judging from the force with which the fishing rod in his hand was being pulled, the thing biting the hook in the water was absolutely nothing.

In addition, the underwater struggle is also a bit strange.

Judging from the feel of the fishing rod, the thing in the water now seemed more like a rhythmic pull on the fishing line than a desperate struggle after biting the hook.

"If I sing so loudly, will any fish still catch the bait?"

Luther felt strange in his heart and started to close the shot.

The process of pulling back the fishing rod was smooth, and after the fishing line was retracted, I did see a normal sea bass more than ten centimeters long on the hook.

"Is it really just an ordinary fish?" Luther looked at the bass again in confusion.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but you are shocked when you see it.

Under the bright moonlight, Luthor found that this newly emerged perch was stiff and motionless, apparently dead!

How can a dead fish bite the hook?
