Chapter 16 The First Fishing

The huge blood cells in the sky remain unchanged for eternity.

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

Zhou Fan saw Wu, who was sitting beside the square wooden table, eating elegantly, with black thin slices of meat placed on the white jade plate.

"Welcome back." Without raising his head, he slowly picked up a thin slice, dipped in the seasoning of the sauce, and put it into his mouth to taste slowly, "I told you what I wanted to say last night, and I wanted to go fishing and tell me. , if you don't want to, then you can stay there, and if you don't want to, you can jump off the boat."

"Do you eat like this every day? Are you not tired of it?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile, he deliberately disturbed Wu's meal.

Wu's mood is too cold, Zhou Fan hopes to provoke him a little bit, it will be a bit risky to do so, but perhaps something interesting can be seen from his angry facial expression.

In any case, Wu should not kill him, otherwise, with the strength Wu showed last night, it would be too easy to kill him. As long as he didn't kill him, it would be worth the risk.

"Each head of the soul fish in the river is different, and the taste is also different. When you add a flavor plate, the taste level becomes more varied. Of course, after eating such a thing for tens of thousands of years, it is actually tired. Whether it is Fried, steamed, fried, or eaten raw, for me, it’s just fullness.” Wu was not angry, just said slowly.

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

Zhou Fan didn't speak anymore, it was difficult for this fog to be irritated by himself.

Zhou Fan walked around on the deck, sometimes looking into the distance, sometimes looking at the Grey River.

It's just that there is a thick gray fog in the distance, and the vision can only reach 50 meters away, but within 50 meters, there is nothing in the radius, except gray water or gray water, and it is so quiet that there is not a trace of sound.

Zhou Fan walked back, the fog had finished his meal, and he changed his pattern again, condensing the tea set with the gray fog that could be seen everywhere, and was making tea.

The tea was boiling, and the smoke from the pot curled up, but I couldn't smell any tea aroma.

Wu poured himself a cup, then sipped the dark tea, without any 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 true." Wu said lightly, "This tea is the water of the Grey River, and tea is something caught from the bottom of the river. It's not that I'm stingy, but it's not suitable for you to drink. ."

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

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

Zhou Fan was immediately glad that he didn't eat that thin piece of fish, and he didn't want to gamble with his life on this half chance.

"You don't seem to care about my life or death." Zhou Fan suddenly said again.

"Why should I care?" Wu's face was still 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?" Wu asked as he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

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

"Yeah, I can absolutely not tell you." Wu said calmly, he put down the teacup, "Actually you are wrong, I have no obligation to tell you, I told you that because the food tasted good last night , I have a good appetite, and I am in a good mood."

"The first time you appeared on the ship, I didn't show up because I didn't want to show up. Among some people who boarded the ship in the past, I didn't even show up once, let them sit on this ship, you know them How's it going?"

Zhou Fan felt a little cold in his heart,

He looked at the fog and said, "They chose to jump off the boat, which is the few jumpers you mentioned last night, right?"

"Well." Wu nodded and admitted, "So I'm not the guide you said, I'm completely free, I can do whatever I want."

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

"This is the main reason, and there is another reason..." Wu picked up the gray teapot and poured a pour of tea into the teacup. "It would be so boring to watch in the dark and do nothing."

"I don't want to do things like watching the boarding people with my hands on the boat. If there are boarding people, I will usually be willing to tell them about fishing. This is more interesting. It's just a matter of time to tell you. The premise is that You can't offend me too hard."

"Does my death have no effect on the fog at all?" Zhou Fan asked unwillingly, which was completely different from what he thought.

Wu picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying: "It's not to say that there is no one at all, but I don't care, the ship will permanently lose passengers, I will fall into a deep sleep, and I will not wake up until the next passenger appears. But I've lived too long, and sleep is nothing to me, even if I never wake up, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Fan understood a little. If Wu had lived for tens of thousands of years as he said, he must have seen countless boat passengers and would feel bored. That's why he was so indifferent to himself, and Wu's words revealed it again. A message for Zhou Fan.

The fog will fall into a deep sleep until the next passenger appears, which means that it is very likely that he is the only passenger on board!

"It's not right to say that you are the guide. You are more like a bystander, and then you do things according to your mood." Zhou Fan commented.

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

Fog pointed at the hourglass and said, "This is the time you stay on the boat. If it leaks out, it means you have to go back."

"Why tell me the rest of the time, I paid most of my lifespan to board this ship, will my lifespan be consumed every time I come in?" Zhou Fan said calmly. For him, this time he went out. , just come in next time.

"Since you are on the ship, every time you appear on the ship, it will not waste your lifespan, otherwise your lifespan will be gone in a few years." Wu smiled and said, "I tell you the rest of the time because I think you are a smart and interesting person, and I don't want you to waste this opportunity."

"What chance?" Zhou Fan asked in a daze.

"After the time has passed, the next time you come in, you won't have a chance to use the fishing rod for free. This free opportunity is from the time I told you about the fishing rod. As long as two nights pass, it means boarding the boat. Those who give up the only chance to use it for free." Wu explained.

Zhou Fan just looked down at the gray quicksand inside the hourglass. He didn't ask Wu why he didn't say it earlier. This fog was doing things out of his liking, and it was useless to ask questions.

Wu put down the teacup, and with a flick of his left hand, the gray fog around the table rolled and dispersed, and there were already seven fishing rods of different colors leaning against the square table on his left.

"Which fishing rod you like, just take it." Wu picked up the teapot and filled the teacup with water, "Of course you don't have to take it."

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

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

"I can't tell you right now, because it doesn't make sense now, I don't want to say it." Wu said silently.

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

"If you believe me, my answer is whether it's beneficial or not. This will be your chance. Those who can seize this opportunity will have a good start." Wu smiled and narrowed his eyes. At such a time, he would always be interested. He wanted to see how Zhou Fan would choose?

Zhou Fan closed his eyes, he was thinking, he recalled what he remembered what the two of them said, the manner in which Wu 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?"

The foggy eyes narrowed, and he looked up at the blood cells in the sky and said, "Why do you believe me? I have seen all kinds of boarding people, and they have all kinds of personalities. There are also suspicious and cautious ones like you. Few, but the suspicious and cautious character finally gave up the first chance."

"You are the first person of this character who is willing to take risks, which really surprises me."

Zhou Fan was slightly silent. He knew that at the critical moment, Wu would do things based on his mood. If his answer could not satisfy Wu, Wu would probably not give him any hints. At that time, he could only randomly choose a fishing rod by luck. , which does him no good.

"As you said, I'm the kind of person who is suspicious and careful. In fact, even now I'm doubting you, but I've been thinking about it, and you have no reason to lie to me, so I'm willing to take a chance, My grandma once pointed out my character problem, she said that the reckless man should be cautious when he wants to be reckless, and the suspicious person should take a bold step when he is suspicious, otherwise he will regret it!"

Wu chuckled lightly and said, "You need an elixir now, choose the light purple fishing rod."

Zhou Fan walked over and quickly picked up the light purple fishing rod. He walked to the side of the boat and said, "How did you know that I needed a medicinal pill?"

"I can see the needs of the boarding people," Fog explained.

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

"It's not that there is no fishing line, it's that you can't see it. The bait has already been combined with the fishing line. You can just throw the rod into the river. Remember, if the fish is not hooked, don't start fishing." The voice of the fog again Came from behind.

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

The fishing rod made a snapping sound, and Zhou Fan saw a light purple fishing line hanging into the Gray River.

Without floating, the fishing line just sank into the gray water, and the black shadow cruising below seemed to sense some kind of threat, and swam frantically, stirring up the calm, mirror-like river surface to form a vortex.

The fishing line seemed to be hooked on something and suddenly tightened.

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

Whoa!

The fishing line was retracted from the gray water, and the silk thread at the end of the fishing line was like an open octopus, tightly binding the white porcelain bottle.

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