Chapter 16: First Fishing

The huge blood cells in the sky are as unchanged as ever.

It's still this familiar ship, and the fog is a little thicker tonight than last night's.

Zhou Fan saw the fog, the fog was sitting next to the square wooden table, eating elegantly, and the white jade plate was placed on the black thin slices of meat.

"Welcome back. He didn't lift his head, picked up the thin slices in the slow manner, dipped the seasoning of the flavor plate, and put it in his mouth to taste it slowly, "I told you what I wanted to say last night, if you want to fish, tell me, if you don't want to, then stay and go, if you don't want to, then you can jump ship." ”

"Do you eat like this every day, aren't you tired?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile, he deliberately disturbed the fog to eat.

The fog's mood was too cold, and Zhou Fan hoped to provoke him a little, it would be a bit risky to do so, but maybe he could see something interesting from his angry facial emotions.

In any case, the fog shouldn't kill him, otherwise with the strength that the fog showed last night, it would be too easy to kill him, as long as you don't kill him, it's worth the risk.

"Each of the soul fish in the river is different, the taste is also different, and then put on the flavor plate, the taste level becomes diverse, of course, such things have been eaten for tens of thousands of years, in fact, they have long been tired, whether it is fried, stewed, steamed or raw, for me, it is just a full stomach. Fog didn't get angry, just said slowly.

Tens of thousands of years...... Zhou Fan's heart twitched slightly, if the fog hadn't lied, wouldn't he have lived for tens of thousands of years?

Zhou Fan didn't speak again, and it was difficult for this fog to be provoked by himself.

Zhou Fan walked around on the deck, sometimes looking into the distance, sometimes looking at the gray river.

It's just that the gray fog in the distance is thick, and the eyesight can only reach fifty meters away, but within fifty meters, there is nothing in the radius, except for gray water or gray water, so quiet that there is no sound.

Zhou Fan walked back, the fog had already finished his meal, and he changed his tricks again, using the gray mist that could be seen everywhere to condense the tea set, and was making tea.

The tea was boiling and the pot was smoking, but I couldn't smell any of the aroma of tea.

Wu poured himself a cup, and tasted the black tea, without the slightest intention of pouring a cup for Zhou Fan.

"Is the tea you drink real or fake?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile.

"If everything in this space is true, of course this tea is real. Wu said lightly: "This tea is the water of the Gray River, and the tea is something caught at the bottom of the river, not that I am stingy, but it is not suitable for you to drink." ”

"What about yesterday's soul fish, what will happen if I eat it?" Zhou Fan already knew that the creature at the bottom of the river was called a soul fish, and he guessed that this creature might be related to the soul.

"Half and half. Wu looked at Zhou Fan with a weird smile on his face, "Half of the probability is that you will survive and get great benefits from that piece of fish, and half of it is that you will die." ”

Zhou Fan was glad that he didn't eat the thin fish fillet, and he was unwilling to gamble half of the odds with his life.

"You don't seem to care if I live or die. Zhou Fan suddenly said again.

"Why should I care?" Mist's face remained indifferent, "Whether you die or you live, it doesn't matter to me." ”

Zhou Fan laughed when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Mist as he picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"I think you should care. Zhou Fan retracted a smile on his face, "You are like a guide in some of the stories I have read, guiding me, otherwise why would you tell me about fishing?"

"yes, I can't tell you at all. Still unhurried, he put down his teacup, "Actually, you're wrong, I'm not obligated to tell you, I'm telling you that's because last night's food tasted a little good, my appetite is okay, and I'm in a good mood." ”

"The first time you appeared on the ship, I didn't show up because I didn't want to, and I didn't even show up once of the people who came on board the ship, and let them sit on this ship, you know how they were?"

Zhou Fan's heart was slightly cold, he looked at the fog and said, "They chose to jump ship, that is, the few shipwreckers you said last night, right?"

"Hmm. Fog nodded and admitted, "So I'm not the guide you say, I'm completely free and can do whatever I want." ”

"Tell me, it's just because the food tastes good, and if so, I'm lucky. Zhou Fan felt a little ridiculous, but he vaguely felt that the fog didn't lie to him.

"That's the main reason, and the other reason......" Foggy picked up the gray teapot and poured tea into the teacup, "It's so boring to hide in the dark and watch like this, doing nothing." ”

"I don't want to do it again after a few attempts, and if there are boarders, I'm usually willing to tell them about fishing, it's more interesting, and tell you that it's only a matter of time, provided you don't offend me too hard. ”

"Could it be that my death has no effect on the fog at all?" Zhou Fan asked a little unwillingly, which was completely different from what he thought.

Fog picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "It's not that there is nothing at all, but I don't care, if the ship loses its passengers permanently, I will fall into a deep sleep, and I will not wake up until the next passenger appears, but I have lived too long, and sleep is nothing to me, even if I never wake up." ”

Zhou Fan somewhat understood, if the fog had lived for tens of thousands of years as he said, then he would definitely have seen countless boat passengers and would feel bored, so his attitude towards himself would be so indifferent, and the fog's words revealed another message to Zhou Fan.

The fog will fall asleep until the next passenger appears, which means that he is most likely the only one on board!

"It's really wrong to say that you are a guide, you are more like a bystander, and then you do things according to the mood of the good or bad. Zhou Fan commented.

Fog didn't answer, he just flicked his right hand on the table, and there was an extra hourglass on the table, and the gray sand flowed from the narrow pipe into the bottom glass ball, and the top glass ball had less than half of the fine sand left.

Fog pointed to the hourglass and said, "This is the time you stay on the ship, if it leaks, it means that you have to go back." ”

"Why do you want to tell me the rest of the time, I paid most of my life to board this ship, so will it consume my life every time I come in?" Zhou Fan said in no hurry, for him, he went out this time, and he would come in again next time.

"Now that you are on the ship, every time you appear on the ship, it will not cost you any more your life, otherwise your life span of a few years will be long gone. Fog smiled and said, "I told you the rest of the time because I think you are still a smart and interesting person, and I don't want you to waste this opportunity." ”

"What chance?" Zhou Fan asked after a pause.

"After the time, the next time you come in, then there will be no chance to use the rod for free, this free opportunity is counted from the time I told you to use the rod, as long as two nights have passed, it means that the boarder has given up the only chance to use it for free. Fog explained.

Zhou Fan just looked down at the gray quicksand inside the hourglass, he didn't question why the fog didn't say it earlier, this fog was completely based on preference, and it was useless to question.

Misty put down the teacup and flicked his left hand, the gray mist on the side of the table rolled and dispersed, and there were already seven fishing rods of different colors leaning against the square table to his left.

"If you see that fishing rod, take it. Foggy picked up the teapot and added water to the teacup, "Of course you can leave it out." ”

Zhou Fan glanced at the seven fishing rods, and said, "Fog, can you tell me the significance of my presence here?"

Zhou Fan knew that there would definitely be a purpose for letting him appear here, and he had to figure it out.

"I can't tell you just yet, because it doesn't make sense right now, and I don't want to say it. Fog said after a pause.

"Is this fishing really beneficial to me?" Zhou Fan's voice also became urgent, because there was not much quicksand at the top, and he had to make a choice.

"If you believe me, my answer is that there is no harm in doing it, this will be your chance, and those who can take advantage of this opportunity will have a good start. Wu smiled and narrowed his eyes, every time he came to such a time, he would always bring up a trace of interest, he wanted to see how Zhou Fan would choose?

Zhou Fan closed his eyes, he was thinking, he recalled what he remembered the two of them said, the way the fog spoke, he was weighing the pros and cons.

In just a few seconds, Zhou Fan opened his eyes, those eyes were no longer confused, he looked at the fog and said sincerely: "I am willing to fish, but there are seven fishing rods, can you give me a hint?"

Misty gray eyes shrank, he looked up at the blood ball in the sky and said, "Why do you believe me? I have seen all kinds of shipboarders, all kinds of personalities, and there are many suspicious and cautious personalities like you, but the suspicious and cautious characters finally gave up the first chance. ”

"You're the first of those who are willing to take risks, and that really surprises me. ”

Zhou Fan was slightly silent, he knew that at the critical moment, Wu did things according to his mood, if his answer could not satisfy Wu, Wu probably would not give him any hints, and then he could only rely on luck to randomly choose a fishing rod, which would not be good for him.

"Like you said, I'm the kind of person who is suspicious and cautious, in fact, even now I doubt you, but I think about it, you don't have a reason to lie to me, then I'm willing to take a risk, my grandmother once pointed out my personality problem, she said that reckless people should be cautious when they want to be reckless, and suspicious people should take a bold step forward when they are suspicious, otherwise they will regret it!"

Mist chuckled and said, "You need the elixir now, choose the light purple fishing rod." ”

Zhou Fan walked over, quickly picked up the light purple fishing rod, he walked towards the side of the boat and said, "How do you know that I need the pill?"

"I can see the needs of the people who board the ship. Fog explained.

"The fishing rod has no fishing line, how should it be used?" Zhou Fan held the fishing rod, and there was no fishing line on the fishing rod at all.

"It's not that you don't have a line, it's that you can't see it, the bait is already joined with the line, you just throw the rod into the river, remember, don't start fishing if the fish is not hooked. The sound of fog came from behind him again.

Zhou Fan didn't ask again, he was afraid that it would be too late, he had spent too much time asking before, he didn't know how much time it would take to fish here, he just shook the fishing rod with both hands.

The fishing rod snapped, and Zhou Fan saw a light purple fishing line hanging into the gray river.

There was no floating, and the line sank into the gray water, and the black shadows cruising below seemed to sense some threat, and swam wildly, stirring up the calm surface of the river to form a whirlpool.

The line was like a hook on something, and it suddenly tightened.

Zhou Fan didn't ask Wu what to do again, he just suddenly lifted the fishing rod.

Wow!

The line retracted from the grey water, and the end of the line resembled an open claw, tightly binding the white porcelain bottle.

Zhou Fan reached out and grabbed the white porcelain bottle that was withdrawn with the fishing line.
