Chapter 8: Fishermen Never Come Back Empty-Handed

A week later.

It was basically a wasteland, but Luo Mu shamelessly called it a farm. On the east side, a stream of moderate width flowed slowly.

There were many fish of different sizes swimming in the clear stream. If you look carefully, you can occasionally catch a few red fish shadows.

"Why are you here again? I don't run a buffet restaurant. Please don't eat."

An angry but sad voice sounded. Luo Mu held the fishing rod and looked at the dead fish eyes with a collapsed face.

However, whether it was the gloating font of the system or the monarch snake beside him that was impatiently wagging its tail and looking at him with disgusted eyes.

It seemed that they were saying that Luo Mu, who prepared a large basin of bait and shouted that he would never catch a fish, didn't catch a single fish. In the end, he not only fed the Magikarp in the stream, but also wanted to persuade the Magikarp to leave by begging for mercy, had a problem with his brain.

The Magikarp, who was being held by Luo Mu and looked like he was in a bad mood, as if he knew that Luo Mu could do nothing to him, calmly shook his tail and waited for Luo Mu to throw him back into the water.

In fact, Luo Mu's fishing skills were not bad. Before crossing over, he often went fishing alone in a river on holidays. Although he didn't catch fish every time, he basically got a little harvest.

He came here to fish because of a sudden whim this morning. He wanted to eat grilled fish for some reason. He immediately prepared a pot of bait that was only attractive to ordinary fish and came to this newly discovered stream to fish.

These baits did not contain any ingredients that Pokémon liked. In the eyes of Pokémon, they were basically the same as pig feed.

But Luo Mu had never expected that these shameless Magikarp were not only willing to eat the bait, but also used their own special characteristics as extraordinary creatures to drive away ordinary fish.

It was so shameless!

Seeing that his useless trainer was so angry that his face turned red, the Monarch Snake sighed secretly.

Although the King Serpent still maintained a disgusted expression on the surface, it still released a little pressure on the Magikarp on Luo Mu's rod and the water surface.

The pressure was well controlled by the King Serpent, and it only enveloped the Magikarp wandering in the nearby stream, and did not scare the fish.

The Magikarp, who was still confronting Luo Mu, had a visibly panicked look in his dull dead fish eyes, and directly opened his mouth holding the bait, and jumped into the stream with the fastest speed in his life, and fled in an instant.

"Thank you, kind King Serpent!" Luo Mu looked at the King Serpent with emotion, and immediately dropped the fishing rod, intending to give the King Serpent a thank-you hug from his dear trainer.

However, before Luo Mu could hug him, the King Serpent, who was full of disgust, tied him up with two emerald green vines and hung him up, hanging in the air and swaying, which was a little funny.

The Monarch Snake said in dissatisfaction: "Galak!" (I've said it so many times, call me Queen!)

Unfortunately, Luo Mu couldn't understand its language, but he could roughly tell the Monarch Snake's mood. Now it was undoubtedly in a "proud" state. As long as he was submissive and said nice things, the Monarch Snake would be happy.

Luo Mu, who had already understood the Monarch Snake's personality, skillfully said nice things, but after a while, the Monarch Snake was blown up by his series of rainbow farts, and mercifully let Luo Mu hold its body, which was different from the cold body of ordinary snake Pokémon.

Luo Mu carefully felt the warm body of the Monarch Snake, and showed a triumphant smile in a place where it couldn't see.

Little guy, a mere tsundere snake can be captured in minutes, don't underestimate me, an old otaku who has read countless anime, kora!

After a fight, Luo Mu stared at some residues on the edge of the basin, and estimated that it should be used for fishing again.

This time, I will never be empty-handed!

Although it is possible to make the monarch snake fry fish, it is meaningless. Luo Mu enjoys the process of catching fish.

Luo Mu showed a determined look on his face, and he immediately planned to roll up his sleeves and do a great job.

"All my people All my people~"

Suddenly, the mobile phone in the pocket of his flowered shorts began to play the ringtone of the incoming call.

Luo Mu's movements froze, and his shoulders drooped like a deflated ball. He took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller, and answered the call: "Hello? Is there any other problem?"

A hearty middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, no problem, we will definitely start on time. It's just that a few of my employees have something that they want to get your permission, Mr. Luo."

"Permission?" Luo Mu tilted his head, not understanding what the head of the engineering team on the other end of the phone was saying.

"Hasn't it been a long time since we caught the criminal gang that kidnapped children? I heard that there have been cases of missing children in the nearby town. It's the school holiday, and they are worried that the children will be in trouble if they are alone at home, so they want to bring them to the construction site to keep an eye on them."

Before Luo Mu could speak, the engineering head seemed to be afraid that Luo Mu would have concerns or be unhappy, and quickly guaranteed: "They promise not to let the children run around, and they will be restrained by their side at all times. I will also go to the site to take care of them in person. Can you be flexible?"

Just this little thing?

Luo Mu was a little embarrassed. Now a large area of ​​the farm was in a state of abandonment. He didn't care even if the kids were dancing there. He only cared about the final result.

Stopping his thoughts, Luo Mu smiled and said, "No problem. Just keep the kids under control and don't let them get lost."

After getting Luo Mu's permission, the foreman on the other end of the phone was delighted. He thanked him repeatedly and said that he would definitely keep an eye on the kids. When the project was finished, he would give Luo Mu a discount.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Mu shook his head and sighed that there was a boss in the world who cared so much about his subordinates. Why hadn't he met one before?

"Ka-ka!"

The monarch snake gently tapped Luo Mu's palm with the green vine, urging him to finish fishing and leave. It hadn't sunbathed yet.

"Okay, okay, let's fish now." Luo Mu skillfully hung up the bait, and then threw it and the line away.

Unfortunately, there was not enough bait to make a nest. It was all because of those carp kingfish!

Luo Mu swore that if those Magikarp attacked again next time, he would definitely call on Roentgen Cat to catch fish with electricity!

After sitting for a few minutes, Luo Mu's bloodshot eyes stared at the water, as if he wanted to catch the fish with his eyes.

It seemed that because of the Magikarp's previous disturbance, the fish in this area had no appetite, and they were even unwilling to come to Luo Mu's bait for free.

Just when Luo Mu thought he was going to be defeated, the float on the water surface sank instantly, and it was obvious that there was something fishy!

Luo Mu's drowsy mind suddenly became clear, his eyes burst into dazzling brilliance, and he immediately planned to start a strength competition with the fish in the water!

The monarch snake cast a careless look into the water, and even it didn't expect that Luo Mu could actually catch a fish.

However, when the monarch snake saw what was caught on the hook, the snake's pupils shrank!
