Chapter 62: A Chance Encounter
The next morning, before dawn, after breakfast.
Shen Mengfei took a camera and a fishing rod, took his parents to the beach, bought a ticket and boarded the boat.
There are a lot of people who come to see the sunrise over the sea.
The boat is moving slowly in the shallow sea.
Seeing that the clouds in the sky were getting more and more red, Shen Mengfei took out his camera and began to take pictures.
After a while, the sun shyly showed half of his face, and the children on the boat were excited.
"Mom and Dad, look, Grandpa Sun is out." A three- or four-year-old child shouted excitedly.
There are adults with children, couples who come out to travel, and elderly people who come out to relax.
Looking at the child's happy smiling face, Shen Mengfei couldn't help but laugh. Even he himself couldn't say why he laughed, probably because he was infected by the child's innocent and heartfelt joy.
Shen Mengfei walked over.
"Big brother, I want to take a picture of your child, is that okay?" Shen Mengfei asked the child's father and asked.
"Don't worry, I just think this kid is smiling so beautifully, I can't help but want to take pictures of this beautiful moment. I'll give you the picture." Shen Mengfei said.
"Oh, good. Then I'll ask my daughter, and if he agrees, it's okay."
"Nono, this uncle wants to take a photo for you, would you like to?" The child's father asked the child tenderly.
From the child's father's pampering eyes and gentle tone, it can be seen that this is at least not a bad father.
"Uncle wants to take a picture of me? Okay, okay. Nono's favorite thing is to take pictures." The child clapped his palms and said happily.
The child's name is Nono, three and a half years old, and she is a cute little girl.
"It turns out that your name is Nuno, hello Nuno, you look at the camera with a smile, and your uncle takes a beautiful photo for you." Shen Mengfei said softly.
"Hmm."
Nuno smiled innocently and looked at the camera obediently.
Shen Mengfei looked at Nuo Nuo's smiling face blankly, and didn't press the shutter for a long time.
The most beautiful photo is not the colorful scenery, but the innocent smile. A glimmer of realization rose in Shen Mengfei's heart.
Click, Shen Mengfei finally pressed the shutter button and helped Nuo Nuo take a photo.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, can I take a group photo for you?" Shen Mengfei asked.
Nuo Nuo's father looked at Nuo Nuo's mother, and the two exchanged opinions and agreed to let Shen Mengfei take a photo of their family of three.
Nono's father picked up Nono with one hand and put his arm around Nono's mother with the other, and Nono's mother leaned her head slightly against Nono's father. Nono's parents looked at each other, while Nono smiled and looked at the camera.
Shen Mengfei took a happy and sweet family photo for Nuono's family.
"This is the best photo I've ever taken, thank you." Shen Mengfei handed the photo to Nuo Nuo and said.
...
Little by little, the sun rose, and an hour later, the boat docked. Shen Mengfei and his parents got off the boat.
They rented a small boat to go fishing at the sea.
Hook the bait onto the hook and cast the rod into the sea.
Shen Mengfei and his father were fishing on the boat, while his mother was watching.
Shen Mengfei's mother doesn't know how to fish, but she is also happy watching her husband and son happily fishing.
After fishing for two or three hours, Shen Mengfei hadn't caught a single fish, but Shen Mengfei's father had caught a lot, but not long after he caught it, he released the fish.
Shen Mengfei's mother didn't say anything, he knew that her husband and son came out to fish just to have fun, not to fish.
Shen Mengfei's father caught a big bass again, and then released the fish as before.
"Ah Fei, are you still in the Air Force? Do you want Dad to teach you how to fish?" Shen Mengfei's father said happily.
"No, I'm a master fisherman, and it's just bad luck that I haven't caught a fish for a while."
said, Shen Meng
The flying fish bleached and drifted.
Shen Mengfei quickly retracted the line, pulled the rod with one hand, and pulled the hook up, but the fish ran away.
"Ah Fei, you can't do this, your skills are so bad, why do you dare to call yourself a fishing master?" Shen Mengfei's father said with a smile.
At this time, Shen Mengfei suddenly heard a sound of lapping on the sea, and turned to see that a teenager was drowning.
"Mom, Dad, there is a boy who is drowning, I will go and save him, you stay here."
Without thinking too much, Shen Mengfei subconsciously jumped directly into the sea and swam quickly towards the young man.
"Ah Fei, you have to be careful." Shen Mengfei's parents said with concern on the boat.
Putting away the fishing rod, Shen Mengfei's father turned the boat around and drove in the direction where Shen Mengfei and the boy were.
The boy was fifty or sixty meters away from Shen Mengfei, and it took Shen Mengfei nearly forty seconds to come to the boy's side.
The boy choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, still struggling, but already delirious.
In order to avoid being dragged into the water by the teenager, Shen Mengfei strangled the teenager behind him, and then swam to the shore with one hand.
At this time, many people on the beach saw Shen Mengfei saving people, and hurriedly swam over with a lifebuoy to escort them.
Shen Mengfei rescued the boy ashore without danger and helped to do chest compressions, the boy spit out a few mouthfuls of seawater and came to his senses.
"Big brother, thank you for saving me." The boy thanked.
"It's just a gesture, but next time, young man, don't swim so far by yourself, it's dangerous."
"When swimming, be sure to bring a lifebuoy." Shen Mengfei said.
"yes, I see." The boy said.
Ding dong.
"The host saved the boy's life and received the boy's heartfelt gratitude. For the host's first rescue, a permanent Luck Bonus of 5 points will be awarded."
"The host's current permanent luck value is 25 points, please cheer up the host to complete the main quest." The Good Luck system reminded.
Suddenly getting five permanent luck points, Shen Mengfei couldn't be too happy.
"Good luck elf, why can you get permanent luck points without a mission? Is it possible to earn permanent luck points just by saving people or helping others?" Shen Mengfei summoned the Good Luck Spirit and asked.
"Master, as long as you help others and get the heartfelt thanks of others, you have a chance to get permanent luck." Good luck elf said.
"I'll go, why didn't you tell me such important information." Shen Mengfei blamed.
"Master, saving or helping others is a hidden attribute of the system, and the good luck elf can't say it until this attribute is activated. Otherwise, this hidden attribute will disappear." The Good Luck Elf explained.
"That means there's one more way I can earn permanent luck, right?"
"As long as I keep helping others, I can get a steady stream of permanent luck. That's great news." Shen Mengfei said.
"Master, when you help others, it's best not to think about rewards, otherwise it's very likely that you won't get lucky points." The Good Luck Elf reminded.
"I probably know that you mean to purely help others, and get the heartfelt gratitude of others to get lucky points, right?" Shen Mengfei said.
"Yes. And the system will evaluate the size of the good deeds done by the owner and the level of gratitude of others, so as to give rewards."
"This is the first time to save people, and the reward will be relatively generous, and there may not be such a generous reward next time." Good luck elf said.
