The game was over, and Charles lay on the bed, looking at the familiar ceiling of the dormitory, and let out a long sigh.

In retrospect, so much has happened in the last almost a month that has diluted the fun of the competition.

Although he won a championship, he didn't have the same happy mood as when he and his classmates played CS online in an Internet café in his previous life, which made him unhappy.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, and it also destroyed the idea of sneaking up on Diana.

The weather was getting hotter, and the insects outside were screaming more and more cheerfully, making Charles sleepy.

So he got up and changed his clothes, intending to go out and blow the wind.

At the end of the month, the waning moon in the sky has no light, and the road is dark, suitable for some petty thieves.

Charles ignored the diminutive figure who had infiltrated the library, which was full of books commonly used by professors and students, and there was a place for overly expensive books.

Tonight the wind was quite strong, the golden grass on the shield river rose and fell with the waves, and the frogs were still waiting on the leaves for the insects to be attracted by the light of the flowers, just like the night the game began.

It's just that there was a man in the place where he ate grilled fish that night, and he could smell the wine from afar.

It's quite rare to fall asleep drunk on campus, and there is a river next to it, so the drunkard is about to leave in a daze and drown in the river next to him.

The island has been locked down for so long, and it must not be ordinary people who can still get alcohol, and it is not good for a famous person to drown in school.

So Charles took a rope out of the storage ring and prepared to tie the drunkard to the stone table so that he would not fall into the water.

However, when he got closer, he found that the drunkard was actually his cousin Calvin Redkin, so he took two more ropes and tied them up a little tighter.

With a dull explosion, Charles left the campus and took out his motorcycle to the beach to blow the wind.

The beach in the middle of the night is also lively, and some of the old guys who fish at night get together to brag about their skins, and some look at the fishing rods that have just broken with bitter faces.

Charles has long been familiar with his brothers, but not because of fishing, but because he often takes good things to exchange fish with everyone to eat, and everyone knows that this product is rich and generous to what he likes.

As soon as he arrived, the old man with the broken rod beckoned him over.

"This is my last fishing rod. The old brother took the broken fishing rod and said helplessly, "I don't want to fish recently, I will give you these fishing lines, hooks, bait, fishing wheels and so on, you can get a fishing rod yourself and install it." ”

Charles took the things and asked curiously, "How did the rod break, is there a big thing in the water?"

The old brother said hatefully: "There is a huge object in the sea more than a hundred meters away, if it is close, it will be fine, and if it is far away, it will bite any bait, I fought with it for a few days, and the fishing rod was all lost." ”

Charles nodded, this old brother used to be an adventurer, but when he was young, he accidentally injured his leg and retired, and by chance he went to the island to be a son-in-law. With his arm strength, he can throw the hook out of one or two hundred meters, and he has a lot of physical endurance when walking the fish, and he is a master. A huge thing that even he can't deal with, it's a really big guy.

The two chatted about the characteristics of the giant in the sea, and at the same time someone began to prepare his own fishing rod.

Somebody has a ghost fishing rod, but there is too much mess in his storage ring.

Two years ago, when he started the construction of the second phase of the Peace Shopping Mall in Greentown, he took advantage of the holiday to go to the construction site, and saw a pile of thumb-thick threaded steel bars in the steel yard, so he picked up a few in case of emergency.

Now it's just the right thing to do.

I saw that he took out a three- or four-meter-long steel bar, and then took out a nut, and then pressed the nut on the steel bar to control the heating of a large number of fire elements, and finally achieved the effect of welding the nut on the steel bar.

Soon, a string of nuts was welded to the rebar, and when the fishing line was crossed, it would not run around.

The braggart brothers next to him all came over to see the excitement, and a bald old man said with a surprised expression: "Brother, are you going to fish for a black whale?"

Charles, who was fixing the fishing wheel to the steel rod, laughed twice and said, "If you want to fish for the black whale, I'll drive the crane in the farm." ”

Then he pulled the line out of the reels and through the nuts.

The line is about two millimeters in diameter and is made from a specially cultivated white-flowered vine.

This white-flowered vine has only one long trunk and no forks, and when it blooms in spring, it has a long bunch full of white flowers, which is quite beautiful.

Charles's storage ring contains a full-color album called "Flowers and Girls", which shows a young girl wrapping a brilliant white vine around her body to cover her body, which is very beautiful.

It's just that there are small thorns on this thing, with a slight itchy poison, which pits a lot of girls.

In some places, there are many rocky mountains and little flat land, so the locals plant white-flowered vines at the foot of the mountains. It can climb the mountain and grow tens or hundreds of meters long in a year, and if it grows for two more years with enough fertilizer, it can even grow to three or four hundred meters.

The long rope made of the processed fibers is extremely strong and corrosion-resistant, making it very popular with boatmen.

Anglers also like to use this cheap and strong string to make fishing line, and sometimes the rod is broken and the rope is not broken.

Charles tied a string of large hooks to the line, and then threaded some guts, shrimp heads, and other bait through the hooks.

Then it's time to battle the big fish in the sea.

His arm strength was much stronger than that old brother just now, and the hook with plumb flew to two hundred meters.

The next thing is to wait.

Charles stuck his rod in the sand and sat down on the ground and chatted with his buddies.

The bald guy asked him just now, "I haven't seen you for so many days, and the game is over tonight?"

Charles replied, "yes, not long after it ended. ”

In just two sentences, a fish has been hooked.

It's just an ordinary flame snapper, almost half a meter long, with a few flame-like red horizontal stripes on its body, which is quite delicious.

Charles gave it to the guy who gave it to him, and then continued to take the bait.

The bald guy over there asked again, "Who won tonight?"

Charles replied, "Our side won." ”

"Yo!" the old buddy suddenly came to his senses, "You also participated?"

While keeping an eye on the fishing line, Charles said, "The Earl of Maccaden, who played in the final tonight, asked me to help, so I also participated. ”

Now the old man was more energetic, and a bearded old man asked, "Do you know the Earl of Maccaden?

Charles scratched his head embarrassedly and replied, "Actually, he looks like me." ”

"Two years ago, I went to the Elven Tree Sea to play, and the taxi driver took me for him and sent me to where he lived. ”

"The guards there thought I was pretending to be doing something bad and arrested me. ”

"Then I got to know him. ”

The old buddy said "oh" for a while, and the bearded old man said, "No wonder you often run to Nanhai Farm." ”

These guys all have extensive connections on the island, and Charles's words will definitely be heard on the island tomorrow.

That would make it less surprising in a few days when Charles Medivan and Charles McGardenen appeared at the same time at the awards ceremony.

Then an old man who was almost 300 pounds asked him with an obscene face: "I heard that he can't sleep without ten or eight women serving him all night, is it true?"

Charles said with a dark face: "Don't follow those people's nonsense. ”

The fat old man asked with a frightened face, "Is it a man?"

Charles looked him up and down, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and eat more good things recently, otherwise maybe tomorrow he will use you as bait to catch tiger sharks." ”

As a result, the fat guy was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot.

It's one thing to gossip behind your back, it's another thing to get caught.

The person Mai is a real earl, and if he finds a reason to kill him, a rumor-mongering and slanderous little people, he will raise his fingers.

After Charles swore to the god of souls and dreams that he would not complain, the fat guy breathed a sigh of relief and went home with a roll on the ground.

The old buddies were very interested in the topic of the Earl of Maccaden, and finally caught an old brother who knew him. Everyone originally had all kinds of questions they wanted to ask, but now they have converged a lot, and everyone's questions are focused on how the earl makes money.

It's just that a well-informed old brother tactfully mentioned the relationship between the Earl of McCaden and Diana, and Charles could only say that she and Mira, the sister of the Earl, were best friends, so the Earl gave her as an ancestor or something.

Soon after, Charles diverted the topic and bragged to his buddies about what he had seen in the sea of elven trees.

Gradually, the sky began to light up.

It's just that the giant thing in the sea may have gone to other places, or the bait may not be suitable, so no fish will bite Charles's hook again, but the other brothers will get a lot of money.

At dawn, the sea receded, and it was time for everyone to break up.

At this time, many people have come to the beach, ready to buy a fish with these old men.

Shipping on the island has been cut off for so long, and the fresh meat from the air is a drop in the air, and everyone can only rely on the sea to eat fresh meat.

As the saying goes, anglers never go to the air, Charles took out a hoe, walked to the beach where the sea had just receded, and dug up sandworms.

When you see a sandworm at the edge of the hole, you can hoe it at a 45° angle, so that you can cut off its retreat, otherwise it will burrow into the deep sand.

When the sun rises above the sea level, there are more and more people digging for sandworms and fiddler crabs on the beach to make crab paste.

During this time, the demonic beasts that came ashore were gone, and everyone dared to approach the seaside, but there were still many demonic beasts in the sea, and the boat could not get out.

Charles dug up enough sandworms to eat and went back, picking up a few crabs along the way.

When the sun rises, Nanhai Farm also begins to come alive.

Some people went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, and some people came to the temporary airport in front of the farm to receive today's supplies.

The steaming bun bureau is even more lively, and a cart of steamed buns is being pulled to the canteens of various colleges.

On the beach opposite the gate of the farm, the students of the sword training school were shouting slogans and practicing the basics under the watchful eyes of Artoria.

Among the students, Enrico and Grace, who were in Charles's class, were among them, and Neytinie watched nearby with a basket.

At a well in the farmhouse, Charles and Diana cleaned a large pot full of sandworms.

Diana came here early this morning to help Mr. Wolf pick some vegetables and go back, but she didn't expect to meet Charles coming back with a pot of sandworms.

"Whew......"

A small white bear rushed over and hit Charles's waist with its head, but Charles remained motionless.

He picked up a crab from a nearby basin and threw it at the bears, letting them play with themselves.

Diana expertly cleaned the mud from the sandworm's belly and asked, "Why did you go fishing last night?"

Charles replied: "Suddenly I feel like the game is not fun, so I go out for a walk. ”

Diana let out an "um" and asked, "Did you know that something happened at your school in the middle of the night last night?"

Charles shook his head, he only heard the explosion, and didn't bother to find out what was going on.

But Diana didn't know what the situation was, she thought Charles knew.

After the two chatted a few words about the fish in the sea, Charles suddenly remembered something and said, "You invited me to attend the award ceremony on the day of the ceremony." ”

"What the hell are you doing?" asked Diana, "and you don't want that championship prize?"

Charles said: "Rest assured, everything is under control. ”

"Tell me if you have any prizes you want, and I'll help you do it then." ”

Diana thought for a while and said: "The necklace in the prize pool on my side is more beautiful, and the pair of earrings is an heirloom of my younger brother's family, his father sold it when there was an accident in his family before, and he wanted to come back but he only won the top 128 in this competition, I want to see if I can help him get back." ”

"Other...... Nothing particularly wanted. ”

Charles nodded and made a note of her request.

It didn't take long for the two of them to clean up the sandworms, cutting off the head and tail and cutting them into two or three pieces.

Then Charles took the pot of sandworms to the canteen of the farm, asked the cook to heat the pot, and then put the sandworms in several batches and fried them until they were slightly caustic and slightly fragrant.

After stir-frying, the sandworms are directly enlarged into the pot, and then rice, shrimp and shredded shiitake mushrooms are added, and then cooked together into a large pot of porridge.

It is predictable that after an hour, the fragrant sandworm shrimp porridge will be ready.

After telling the cook to stir the porridge so that it does not stick to the bottom, and put some shredded ginger, salt and sesame oil before leaving the pot, Charles accompanied Diana to the field to pick some vegetables for the old man.

Not long after, Sybil found the boss in the cucumber field with the main body "Future Crystal".

Charles was a little surprised by her arrival and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Sybil's expression was serious, and he said, "Report to the boss, I need your strength to help, something bad may happen on the island in a few days." ”
