Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 111, The Scenery on the Road

The shores of the lake, several kilometers long, are filled with young, old anglers. Fishing rods, buckets, bait, everything on the shore is quietly telling us this fact.

That's right, it's a fishing tournament!

In the fishing circle, there is no distinction between men and women, young and old.

According to the people around me, this three-day fishing tournament started yesterday afternoon, and today happens to be the second day.

"Is that theirs too?"

The streamer looked in the direction that Coke was pointing, and he could see various sleeping bags of different styles, rolled together and inserted in the back of the backpack. It seems that the people who come here to fish have been prepared for a long time.

The children mischievously scurried around the crowd, curiously jumping over to the fishermen, their heads poking their heads into the buckets, comparing their catches.

"It's so beautiful, it's all fish I've never seen before!" A little kid with sparkling eyes said.

Streamers and Coke also stepped forward.

An uncle who was drinking water next to him heard the child's words, hung the rod in his hand on the bait, and then threw it, as if he was talking to himself, and chatted softly with the curious tourists around him.

"These are all fish species that explorers brought to Hakuba hundreds of years ago, and they have since been mutated by the local environment. These aquarium fish, in particular, are much better in appearance than before. But now, the fish of White Horse are very popular throughout the Pegasus system, and most of them are exported to other planets in the Pegasus system as ornamental fish. ”

"Then these fish must be delicious, too."

"Whoever tells you that the fish is beautiful must be delicious."

"Uncle, you won't just catch this one fish from last night to now, right?" Coke asked. "That's really miserable! Fishing is a learned thing, but you can't sit like that, you have to take the initiative to attract the fish, and you have to stand up and meet them as if you were greeting God. Cola walked to the shore and sang to the fish in the lake. come on! Whether you're yellow or blue !baby,where are you? come on ! I'm here! I'm waiting for you!”

"Oh! Who's that person? ”

"Hey! Hey! Stinky boy! Immediately, the management of the game noticed the situation and ran over to stop Coke's prank.

Cola's action made the uncle very annoyed immediately. "Shut up, you layman, stinky boy, you're scaring my fish away!"

“sorry! sorry! sorry! "Coke kept apologizing to the game administrator who caught him." I thought they liked my songs! I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to understand my idea. ”

Nangong stretched his finger to the surface of a gray bucket, stretched and retracted, and teased the beautiful little blue fish in the bucket with great interest, causing it to leap and leap.

"You don't know the rules of the tournament yet, this fishing tournament is hosted by Tamir Company, although it is not as grand as sea fishing, but it is full of sincerity."

"Sincere?"

"Well, the top 10 can share a prize of 2 million!" A tourist with mineral water in his hand explains this.

"Wow, 2,000,000 Star Coins!"

Holding his chest, Coke's eyes slanted towards Uncle with disdain, "But what does that have to do with Uncle, you only catch one fish a night?" ”

"The rule given by Tamir this time is to compare the rarity of the fish you try, you know, little ghost?" Uncle seems to dislike a layman's blind involvement in his own affairs.

"Rarity? How does it sound like an RPG game! Cola touched her chin.

"Ahh I don't know who it is, but I suddenly screamed at this moment, and it was a very nice female voice.

"What's going on?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked over at the girl.

"Look over there, it's an angel."

"Angel Fish!! Angelfish? ”

"Angelfish?"

"Angelfish have appeared in Central Park!" The news is spreading rapidly around.

Nangong was still thinking about whether this would be a delicious fish, but the uncle next to him immediately stood up, his eyes looked through the crowd, and his head drilled towards the girl. That female voice was like a plague, and it instantly spread throughout the entire lakeside. Early in the morning, the whole quiet park immediately boiled.

"Angelfish? Is that thing famous? ”

Cola and Nangong looked at the streamer suspiciously, and the streamer returned the same look to them. It's easy

"Just look at it."

The three of them finally squeezed through the crowd before they saw the figure of the fish in the clear water.

It was a small fish with blue feathers, and it looked small, about the size of an apple. The body is so crystal clear that its bones can be seen directly. Swinging and swinging, from a distance, it looks as soft as a blue feather.

The angelfish just made a series of tiny ripples on the surface of the lake, and then it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What a beautiful fish."

"yes, like an angel's feathers."

"Angel fish are in this lake, but they can enter the top three of the rarity rankings, super rare fish! It's an SSR-level character in the game! A little boy next to him, with a small face, leaned over and said incomprehensibly.

"Ultra-rare fish? SSR? Little ghost, what the hell is the origin of the fish? ”

When the little boy heard Nangong's impolite name, he snorted lightly, but he didn't get angry, but folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes, and showed a smug look on his face, and explained to the three of them carefully.

"Ultra-rare fish refers to the fish with the highest rarity and the highest ranking in the rarity ranking given by Tamir in this competition, which is a collective term for them. But you laymen don't even know about this, and you dare to go to the holy land of fishermen to join in the fun......"

When the anglers on the shore heard the exclamations, they all gathered around, and then threw the poles one after another.

"Hehe, so many fishing lines, are you going to weave fishing nets?" Coke see.

The little boy hadn't left, still lying on the shore, obviously curious in his heart, if everyone could catch the angel fish that was rarely seen on weekdays today.

"Hey, uncle, why don't you just use the net to fish?" Nangong asked.

"Stupid! This is an area where net fishing is prohibited, and angelfish are small and flexible, so it is difficult to catch them with ordinary nets. Dodge the dots! I'm going to throw a pole! The uncle unceremoniously buckled Nangong's head and said.

"Hey! You old man, you're very short-tempered! ”

"Angelfish are rare even on White Horse, and they are expensive, so you can only see one or two in the rich man's fish tank." The boy next to him seemed to be interested in today's fishing competition, but he didn't join in, but watched the enthusiastic crowd from the shore.

"So what kind of fish did the angelfish evolve from?"

"It's not evolution, they are said to have been originally inhabitants of the White Horse planet." Beside the streamer, a girl of the same age as herself said. Judging by her outfit, she should belong to the circle of anglers.

"Local residents? Don't? Don't...... White Horse was originally a living planet? "The streamer captures a detail.

"Who knows?" The girl smiled, and then left with the fishing rod and rushed to the most crowded place.

Nangong, who was squatting by the bucket, raised his head: "There are also fish in the White Horse Star, as far as I know, there were no fish in our ancient martial arts world, but there were many giant water monsters." The fish in our current lakes and oceans are all imported from your tech world. ”

"It's really not easy for angelfish to survive until now." After all, there are so many invasive alien species, and what Coke said is true.

A group of white-haired old men frowned, dancing, yelling at their companions, fighting for their faces.

"These old men are arguing to death, like children."

After waiting for an hour or two, everyone did not wait for the swanfish to appear again, as if it was a flash in the pan, and there was no trace of the swanfish in the entire Tianping Lake.

As the day approached noon and the temperature got hotter, the trio quickly left Central Park, driven by the scorching heat. Looking at these uncles who couldn't catch fish and quarreled, Nangong hung his head weakly and stuck out his tongue: "It's so hot, I'm going to melt away, streamer, Coke, let's go." ”

Game show.

A paradise for young people!

This is the real destination of Nangong and the three of them today.

It didn't take long for the trio to reach an intersection in Marina City, where the crowds were slowly getting crowded because it was not far from the video game exhibition hall.

Standing at the door of the game show, Nangong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "The time is just right!"

On the exterior wall of the game show building, CGs of various games that will be released this year or next year are being played, and the graphics are huge and cool.

“OK! Here we go! ”

The entrance corridor of the game show is very open, and even twenty tanks can be driven in side by side. In the exhibition hall, there are many students with trendy backpacks who are trying out new games and trying out new game consoles. It happened to be the weekend, and there were a lot of tourists today.

There are groups of students, all ages, there are many adults, and some are not even of school age. Men and women snuggle up together, accompanied by AI, leaning against the white counters and fiddling with the new game consoles.
