Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!
Chapter 142: Capturing Icethorn Fish (2)
There was no other way. If she wanted to avoid being discovered, she had to attend Teacher Feng's inspection. As long as Li Duo was exposed, it would only be a matter of time before she was exposed.
So Liduo had to go back to the dormitory to sleep and wait for Teacher Feng to come tomorrow morning.
The next morning, after Teacher Feng came and went, Liduo went to the cafeteria to eat and drink her fill before she began looking for a suitable location and time to climb over the wall.
Fortunately, there were few people on campus during the holidays, and the law enforcement team’s patrols were not very frequent, so it was not difficult to find a suitable place to climb over the wall.
The location they finally chose was at a corner. In order to be more concealed, Liduo also wore a white coat and pants.
Liduo used her mental power to scan the wall inside and out several times, and after confirming that there was no one within two hundred meters inside and outside the wall, she lightly jumped out of the wall with her toes.
The road outside the college is still covered with ice and snow at this moment. I believe someone will come to clean up the main road in the near future.
Otherwise, when school starts, the cars that the students are riding in won’t be able to get in. Although Li Duo didn’t quite understand how the students on their way back would reach Qingyan City with snow all the way. There couldn’t be someone clearing the snow along the way, right?
But this made it convenient for Lido. She was dressed in white and covered her hair with the hood of her coat. If you didn't look carefully, you might not be able to tell that there was someone on the road.
After leaving the academy smoothly, Lido felt much more relaxed and started walking towards the Magic Mall according to the route she had memorized before.
This time, Lido did not rent a carriage. On the one hand, the road was covered with snow and the carriage seemed not very convenient.
On the other hand, Lido wanted to see what kind of stores there were along the way, to see if she could try her luck and come across materials suitable for making fishing lines and fish hooks, as well as channels for shipping the caught ice thorn fish.
Of course, Lido didn't have high expectations, she just took a look along the way.
There were indeed many shops along the way, including various snack shops, grocery stores, blacksmith shops, cloth shops, jewelry shops, pharmacies, coach houses, inns, and so on.
Unfortunately, most of the shops were closed at this time, and I think it would be like this throughout the snow season. Only a few shops such as the blacksmith shop, the pharmacy, and the inn were still open to welcome customers.
Lido walked into a blacksmith's shop to ask if there was any thread or wire material that could withstand strong pulling force, or at least some thin wire long enough and a hook.
But to Lido's disappointment, this blacksmith shop only made common household tools and weapons such as kitchen knives, bone-chopping knives, sickles, hoes, hatchets, axes, and daggers.
Moreover, everything is made of pig iron, which is not very strong. It is obviously a route of small profits but quick turnover for the lower-class civilians, and the level is similar to that of the blacksmith shop in Huangshi Village.
Lido walked out of the blacksmith shop disappointed. It seemed that she had to rely on the Magic Mall or the Blacksmith Association.
Later, Lido came across another blacksmith shop, but still ended up leaving disappointed.
However, in a grocery store that was rarely open at this time of year, I saw quite a few large wicker baskets with lids.
Lido decided to come back to the store to buy some rattan baskets after she bought the materials to make fishing lines and fish hooks.
Finally, Liduo came to the Magic Mall. This time, Liduo did not go to the delivery point as usual, but came to the equipment area.
Liduo went straight to the point and asked the teller if there was any silk thread material that could withstand a pulling force of over a thousand pounds and a fish hook with strong load-bearing capacity.
What surprised Liduo was that the teller recommended a transparent spider silk to her. This spider silk was produced by the six-eyed demon spider, which is a rare insect monster.
According to the teller, a single strand of this spider silk is extremely strong and sticky, and when multiple strands are woven into a thread, the load-bearing capacity increases exponentially.
Moreover, this spider silk does not melt when it comes into contact with water, but it will burn when it comes into contact with fire. However, almost all silk threads have this characteristic, so it is not considered a defect.
As soon as Liduo heard it, she became interested and asked the teller to take it out for her to see.
The teller said that this kind of spider silk is usually used to make cables or whip-type weapons, and it is not common in normal times.
Liduo was also lucky to come across it. The goods had just arrived before the snow fell. There were few customers during the snow season, so she had not had time to make all the finished products and sell them, and there were still some raw materials left.
The teller asked Liduo to dip her hand in some water and then used tweezers to pick out a thread from the spider silk ball and asked Liduo to hold it in her hand for a closer look.
Pinching the end of the spider silk with her wet hands, Lido found that its stickiness disappeared a lot when it came into contact with water.
Liduo pulled the thread hard and it was indeed very strong. Liduo tried it from front to back and left to right, and tossed it around for a while, but it didn't break.
Liduo was very satisfied. Then she suddenly had an idea to attach the spiritual thread to the spider silk to see if she could control the movement of the spider silk, thinking that it would be easier to weave the fishing line later.
The result surprised Lido even more! It was beyond Lido's expectation! Lido's spiritual thread merged into the spider silk effortlessly! Lido even felt that she could control the spider silk just like she controlled her own spiritual thread! It was just a little less smooth.
But is this last point important? Not important!
Oh, this is an amazing discovery. Lido immediately thought of no less than five uses for spider silk.
Buy it! Buy it! You must buy it! No matter how expensive it is, you must buy it! This is a good thing that can be used as a trump card and can also cover up Liduo's mental power!
Although the villain in Liduo's heart was always yelling, Liduo kept a straight face and told the teller that the spider silk was barely usable, but the quantity was a bit small. She didn't know if there was more or if she could get more in the future. If she could never get more in the future, she would have to make do with this for the time being and switch to something else later.
The cashier said sorry, there were only a few raw materials for spider silk left, and it would depend on luck when the next batch would arrive.
Liduo sighed in disappointment, half-seriously, "I see. It seems that we won't be able to collect the required quantity in a short time. Well, let's pack these up first. It will be enough for the time being. Give me a real price and get me a few more hooks."
There were hooks available that could be used as fishhooks, both large and small. Liduo asked the teller to take two of each size, large, medium, and small.
According to the teller, these hooks are made of alloy steel, which is high-strength and rust-proof. The hook tips are very sharp and can even pierce the skin of a giant tusk.
Lido didn't know if the cashier was exaggerating. If what he said was true, it was indeed very sharp, and it seemed that one had to be very careful when assembling it.
Finally, the Spider Silk Hook teller quoted a total price of 100 gold coins. According to him, he gave Liduo a discount because the Spider Silk was a last-minute item.
Li Duo naturally didn't know whether the price was high or low. However, seeing that spider silk could be used for various purposes in Li Duo's hands, Li Duo felt that at least for her, the spider silk was worth the price.
Although Liduo also felt that it would be better if the quantity could be a little more, forget it, don't be too greedy, just look for it again when there is a chance in the future.
Lido was very happy that she could get the fishing line and fish hook issues at one time. She paid a hundred gold coins without bargaining, picked up the things, and turned back to the grocery store.
After buying three wicker baskets at the grocery store, Lido brought her gains from today's trip to the corner of the college wall.
To be honest, Lido didn't really want to climb over the wall with these troublesome wicker baskets, but who knew whether the grocery store would be open tomorrow?
You can't just throw the basket outside, bury it in the snow, and dig it out tomorrow. What if someone picks it up? Wouldn't it be troublesome if Liduo doesn't have it when she needs it?
It was a bit unfortunate when I came back. Although there was no one outside, the law enforcement team was patrolling nearby inside the wall.
Fortunately, the law enforcement team walked away soon, and the corner of the wall returned to its state of being ignored.
Li Duo quickly jumped up with all her things and jumped into the wall. There was no one around, so Li Duo quickly left the place.
As long as I'm not caught, it doesn't count as a violation of the school's rules. Li Duo stuck out her tongue and thought so.
Returning to the dormitory doesn't mean everything is ready, except for the east wind. We still have to weave the spider silk into fishing line.
Lido found herself struggling with knitting recently. She needed to knit to build a mental barrier, and now she still needed to knit to make fishing line!
Since the spider silk of the six-eyed demon spider can be integrated with Lido's spiritual silk, the weaving method of the fishing line is similar to that of the spiritual whip.
After Lido's test, she found that the fishing line was made of twelve spider silks divided into three strands and alternately wrapped around each other like a braid. Lido couldn't break it even with all her strength!
Therefore, Lido decided to weave the fishing line according to this specification!
