Chapter 201 Why can he act cool but I can't?!
At this moment, Luo Hongxi also noticed the alarm sounding on the fishing rod. She quickly pulled it up and discovered that the fish in the sea was surprisingly strong.
"Young master! This fish is incredibly strong!!"
"Hold on, I'm coming right away!" With the support of the Annihilation Battle Body and the Strength Buff, Shen Yun felt as light as a feather, even though the fish in the sea were stronger than usual.
With a slight lift, the large fish was flung ashore and transformed into a bronze treasure chest:
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a mid-grade fifth-tier magic weapon.]
Shen Yun didn't even bother to open it and quickly walked towards Luo Hongxi's location.
Because Luo Hongxi was too focused on fighting the sea fish, she wasn't paying attention and the fishing rod got caught on the strap around her neck, causing it to bounce off!
"Ah~!!" Luo Hongxi was so startled that she let go of her hand and quickly covered her chest, squatting down on the ground.
'This isn't fishing, it's practically a freebie...' In a split second, Shen Yun stepped forward and quickly grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up.
A big fish emerged from the water, but this time it didn't turn into a treasure chest.
Seeing Luo Hongxi blush and change into a conservative top, Shen Yun swung his rod and pulled up the fish:
"It's all this fish's fault! I'll eat it today to calm you down!"
"Pfft!" Luo Hongxi chuckled, instantly losing all her embarrassment, and said in a sweet voice:
"Yes! I was just feeling weak, but eating this will give me the strength!"
"Haha! Let's go, chop it up!"
Before long, the big fish was on the grill.
Luo Hongxi transformed into a grilled fish girl, while Shen Yun lay on a bamboo chair basking in the sun.
Anyway, this boat has a built-in fish-hauling function, so I've already tried it out before; there's no need to actually become a fisherman.
"Brother Yun, try this flavor." Luo Hongxi smiled and held the grilled fish to his mouth.
Reclining in the chair, Shen Yun, like a lord, opened his mouth and took a bite:
"Hmm...it tastes good. You have a real talent for grilling fish!"
"Hey! Of course! I used to love cooking! That's why I became interested in alchemy!"
"Cooking and alchemy, it's a bit far-fetched, but the result is the same! I admire you!" Shen Yun cupped his hands in greeting, which made Luo Hongxi giggle.
She hadn't expected the aloof young master to make such a joke. She happily took a bite of the fish, gave herself a thumbs-up, and smugly boasted:
"Absolutely amazing! From now on, I'll be your personal chef! Just come to me whenever you want to eat!"
"Then I'm in luck!" Shen Yun smiled contentedly.
'Compared to my past life, life now is so much more comfortable...'
The two of them never had time to eat grilled fish and chat before.
And so, the two grilled the fish while waiting to fish up the treasure chest...
Over time.
The wooden boat is approaching the heart-shaped island.
When it revealed its towering form from the sea surface, the players and cultivators on the small raft were all dumbfounded:
Wow...what a huge ship!
"Holy crap, did this guy step in dog poop?! He actually found such a huge piece of ship debris?!"
"Damn! Why does he get to have that?!" The players were incredibly envious!
Since the last event revealed a lot of troublemakers, this time all the participants are groups with high favorability.
And heart-shaped islands are undoubtedly the perfect place to pick up girls!
Many players, both openly and secretly, have come here in small rafts or fishing boats.
Just as they were enjoying their time together, the arrival of the large ship made their 'vehicle' seem exceptionally shabby.
It's like a couple riding bicycles on the side of the road seeing a bull drive by.
Moreover, the large fishing boat not only has multiple fishing rods, but also automatic lifting and even automatic treasure chest retrieval devices!
All they have are leaky rafts, bamboo poles, fishing gear, and tattered sails; hauling in a fish is a life-threatening ordeal.
'It's like they've come here to find a treasure!' How could everyone not be envious?!
'Damn it, he put on such a show! He made me lose face in front of my character!' The players abandoned their plans to flirt with girls and handsome guys, and all watched the slowly passing ship with envy.
How am I supposed to get a soak now? I feel so embarrassed I can't even speak. It's so discouraging!
The appearance of the wooden ship undoubtedly brought the lively atmosphere to a standstill.
Inside the driver's cab.
Shen Yun ignored everyone's feelings. He stared ahead at the small fishing boat with its red sails disappearing into the distance, and pressed the accelerator button.
"It's time to end this!"
Boom!
With the engine running at full power, the wooden barge churned up layers of waves, shooting forward like a rapidly moving cannonball towards the small fishing boat ahead.
"Oh no!" The female player on the boat exclaimed in alarm, her face turning pale with fright as she rowed with all her might.
"Disciple! Quickly dodge!!"
"It's too late, Master!" The cultivator looked at the approaching ship with despair.
"They're coming for us..."
boom!
The wooden boat exploded with a single blow.
How could mortal bodies withstand such a behemoth? The two were instantly struck, their bones broken and tendons snapped, and they fell into the water, staining a patch of seawater red before being swallowed by the waves.
Shen Yun was still worried, so he operated the salvage equipment and followed the human information marked on the map to pull the two people up.
[Friendly reminder: The target is currently deceased and cannot be saved.]
"Young Master~ It's ready~!" Luo Hongxi ran up from the deck after grilling the fish. Thanks to the array, she didn't feel any speed-up effect.
Shen Yun calmly shook off the two corpses, and when he turned around, his face was no longer filled with murderous intent, but with a smile:
"Haha, it smells so good it's making my mouth water!"
Let him handle these shady matters himself; as long as Hongxi is happy, that's all that matters.
"It's not that exaggerated, young master, you're just trying to flatter me!" Luo Hongxi smiled as she fed the fish to Shen Yun, then noticed a heart-shaped island on the map in the driver's seat!
"Wow, what a beautiful island!" she exclaimed with delight.
But then, a deep affection appeared in her eyes:
'It must be that the young master brought me here specifically...'
Love is universal; in the Xuan Tian Continent, it's the most direct way to express affection!
She had fantasized about the young master confessing his love to her, but she knew that she was of lowly status and that it was already a blessing to be noticed by such a celestial being. She dared not ask for more.
But the surprise came so suddenly that she felt completely immersed in happiness.
"Young Master~"
"What's wrong?" Shen Yun asked, noticing that her eyes were filled with tears when she turned around.
While he was still wondering, he saw Luo Hongxi wrap her arms around his neck, slowly close her eyes, and lean closer, her voice choked with emotion:
"Thank you... Hongxi is very happy..."
'Is this... because of Love Island?' Shen Yun hadn't expected to accidentally stir up such emotions in Luo Hongxi in his arms.
Things took an unexpected turn, yet it was also entirely logical.
Shen Yun put his arm around her slender waist and led her into the driver's seat.
Anyway, fishing is automatic, so the two of them don't have to worry about it...
……
More than two hours later, the event notification arrived:
[Friendly reminder: The fishing activity has now ended.]
Looking at Luo Hongxi sleeping soundly in his arms, Shen Yun smiled and gently pinched her nose before the two disappeared.
Back in reality, he stretched lazily.
"The results were so-so, it's a pity I didn't recharge much."
The rewards for this event, apart from the Radiant Divine Body Treasure Box that appeared in the same old location, were not particularly outstanding.
There's no way around it; both Shen Yun and Luo Hongxi have far greater resources than ordinary players and cultivators these days. Treasures that aren't top-grade are just average to them.
But just then, a special notification popped up on the game interface:
[Ding! The player's combination that caught the most fish and the most treasure chests in the fishing event has been determined, and they have been awarded two additional spins on the roulette wheel.]
[Roulette: Each bet increases the quality of the roulette wheel's treasure, with a maximum bet of 150 million. (The wheel can be bet twice at a time. Reward target: Character Luo Hongxi)]
'Wow, here comes the perk!' Shen Yun's eyes lit up as he looked at the golden wheel on the projection and pressed the full button.
7.4 [3 million fully charged!]
Splash!
Amidst a screen full of falling coins, the golden wheel slowly began to spin.
"It feels so good to be rich!!" Shen Yun looked at the roulette wheel with anticipation.
'I just don't know what's wrong...'
