After Online Dating with Unlimited Streaming BOSS - Chapter 48

In the eyes of the man, colorful rays of light fascinated:

“If I had to name this place, I’d name it—heaven!”

On the deck at dusk, men and women in swimsuits gather by the pool.

“To heaven!” The man shouted with champagne, and everyone raised their glasses in response:

“To heaven!”

Dynamic music sounded, and people laughed and danced under the gorgeous sunset. The water sprayed, reflecting the rainbow, and the bubble machine worked hard, reflecting the rainbow on the big and small bubbles and sending it to everyone’s eyes.

“Snapped.”

Rong Yi squatted in the corner, reaching out to pop the bubble in front of her, Luo Huayue and Zhang Haiyang squatted around her with a sad face.

They were like three beggars who lacked joy, out of tune with the jubilant atmosphere.

Luo Huayue stared at the heavenly scene in front of her eyes, and her pupils were gradually occupied by the splendor of the rainbow. She stood up and stretched out her hand to the sea of ​​joy—

Rong Yi stretched out his hand and suddenly pulled her to the ground. Zhang Haiyang picked up the bucket next to him and poured it on his head: “Girl, wake up!”

Luo Huayue’s body was soaked, and her eyes suddenly returned to clarity. She wiped her face and sighed dejectedly:

“Indulgence is joy, sobriety is painful. Ah, what a painful realization!”

The two of them habitually followed Rong Yi’s decision. Even when they were unconscious, they instinctively exchanged their “idols” according to what she said. They were immediately scared into a cold sweat by the abnormal interaction.

After their sanity returned to their brains, they did not dare to stay in the crowd for a moment.

When they found Rong Yi, she was foolishly smoking a cigar that came from nowhere, puffing at the colorful clouds in the sky.

After the two held her and grabbed the cigar, her pupils were colorful for a while, dark and dark for a while, struggling for a while, and barely regained her sanity.

The three briefly summed up the key to maintaining sanity:

can’t see clouds

cannot participate in activities on board;

You can’t look forward to the sight in front of you.

But there are so many activities on board, everywhere, and each one looks so attractive. In order to avoid the ubiquitous temptation, they could only crouch in the corner of the bare deck, supervising each other and reminding each other that if anyone indulged in it again, the other two would wake it up.

In this way, they struggled until dusk.

As for ICE and Raymond, they had not heard from each other since they separated, and Rong Yi couldn’t reach them through team communication.

They probably didn’t do what she said and seemed to be getting deeper into it.

“Goo-“

At noon, he didn’t dare to go to the restaurant to eat. Rong Yi covered his hungry stomach and stared down at the deck, not paying attention to the smell of barbecue wafting from the party ahead.

Zhang Haiyang swallowed: “I’m so hungry…”

Luo Huayue: “Me too… Why didn’t you give me snail noodles like yesterday?”

Luo Huayue’s words reminded Rong Yi: Yes, the three of them haven’t eaten lunch, and they have been hungry since the afternoon. According to the rules of the ship, shouldn’t food be delivered immediately when they want to eat!

She turned to think, the three of them have already understood the strangeness of the ship, and they are always paying attention to staying sane. If there is delicious food delivered to them at this time, would they dare to eat it?

At least Rong Yi himself didn’t dare to touch it.

“It’s wariness!” Rong Yi said, “We became wary of the ship’s behavior, so it no longer meets our needs.”

“In other words, our demand has a premise that the ship cannot be completed: that is, this demand cannot be completed by the ship, otherwise, in our opinion, everything is a trap.”

“Goo-“

Using his brain will consume energy, Rong Yi has a reasonable guess and is even more hungry.

“Then what should we do?” Luo Huayue swayed back and forth with her knees against her empty stomach, and said anxiously, “Can we avoid the crowd and sneak into the restaurant to steal something to eat when it’s not meal time?”

Rong Yi was thinking about the feasibility of doing this when he suddenly heard the old man’s calm warning:

“I advise you not to.”

Rong Yi followed the reputation and found a thin old man sitting high on the side of the boat for some time.

Unlike the bright and fashionable people at the pool party, he was dressed in pieces of cloth that were so tattered that the color could not be seen, a tattered straw hat on his head, and the fishing rod in his hand was an iron rod and Made of rough cotton threads removed from clothes.

It was such an old man who was more like a beggar than the three unhappy beggars. Under the background of the happy atmosphere, he actually gave birth to a fairy spirit of “everyone is drunk and I wake up alone”.

Zhang Haiyang asked in a low voice, “Damn it, where did the ‘high man’ appear?”

Rong Yi has suffered the loss of being tempted by dungeons. She is very vigilant about people and things that appear inexplicably. She stood up and asked politely, “I take the liberty to ask, what is your wish for entering the game?”

This is a question that only players can answer.

The old man squinted at her from under his straw hat, and under his drooping eyelids, a pair of black eyes were amazingly bright, and he laughed in a hoarse voice:

“I didn’t see it wrong. After two rounds of players, finally one or two are sober.”

These words were very informative, Rong Yi felt like he had seen the dawn in the long night, and his heart beat faster. She caressed her chest and remained vigilant: “Please answer my question first.”

The old man’s eyes suddenly froze, and his thin arms lifted the fishing rod vigorously—

A rainbow-like sea fish dragged the crystal water droplets and was pulled out of the water!

Zhang Haiyang couldn’t take his eyes away when he saw the bright and splendid fish skin: “My God! What kind of fish is this? Is it a unique species in the copy? Master, wait, I want to take a photo-“

Who would have known that the old man started flying like a fly, and skillfully knocked the fish to death on the side of the boat, took out a sharp piece of metal from his boot, cut open his belly, peeled the skin, and threw all the internal organs and bones back into the sea without hesitation. Leave two pieces of blue-grey fish flesh.

“Here, don’t stare at bells and whistles.” The old man cut the fish into small pieces, put it in the cloth bag around his waist, took out a piece, hung it on the hook, and cast it off the hook.

“About your question.” The old man said slowly: “My wish is to eliminate all cancers in the world.”

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment: “…It’s impossible…”

“Of course I know it’s impossible.” The old man said in a hoarse voice, “But after the old woman left, I thought too much, and made all the **** cancers disappear from this world!”

“I didn’t expect that, after a lot of age, it still attracts such an unlucky thing.”

I don’t know if it was the old man’s high fishing skills, or if there were a lot of silly fish in this sea area, while he was talking, he caught another bigger rainbow fish, followed the same method, packed up the gray fish, and continued to hang the bait and hook.

“Now it’s your turn,” said the old man.

Zhang Haiyang was at a loss: “What is our turn?”

Rong Yi understood: “It’s our turn to prove ourselves, it’s a player, not an NPC.”

Luo Huayue stared at the old man’s bulging fish pocket, her saliva was about to flow down, she quickly raised her hand: “Me first! My wish is to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts!”

Zhang Haiyang said: “I want to graduate with a Ph.D.”

Seeing that Rong Yi didn’t speak for a long time, the old man squinted at her with drooping eyelids, and laughed at himself: “Oh, I’ve waited too long, it’s not impossible that this ship has a clear-headed ‘player’ to make me happy. “

“No, no, you misunderstood.” Rong Yi waved his hand: “I don’t speak because I—not because of desire, entered the game.”

Zhang Haiyang and Luo Huayue widened their eyes: “Sister Rong? Really?!”

“Then how did you come in! Is it a system bug?”

Rong Yi shrugged: “Maybe it’s really… a bug in the system.” After thinking about it, she added: “It’s not that there is no desire at all – the only thing I can count as a wish is to run away with an online dating boyfriend. .”

Crowd: …

Rong Yi was very embarrassed: “Ha, lol, it really doesn’t take such a big battle for this matter. But that’s the only thing I can do with ‘wish’.”

The old man seemed to be a little interested in her. He put the fishing rod on the side of the boat, and jumped off the side of the boat, which was nearly a meter high, with a body that was too light for the old man. Rong Yi looked around:

“Oh…oh…I probably know what’s going on!”

Rong Yi hurriedly asked, “Do you know why I entered the game?”

“I don’t know that.” The old man shook his head: “But I guess, you are the first one of you to wake up?”

Rong Yi nodded, “It’s purely a coincidence that I woke up, because I was talking to someone else’s exclusive ‘idol’ NPC so…”

The old man laughed **** ho ho: “How many players and NPCs on this ship, you are not the only one who accidentally talks to other NPCs.”

“But you—” His skin was wrinkled, and his fingers like dead branches nodded: “You don’t rely on the game to help you realize your wishes, so the game can only confuse you only on the surface, and cannot be like other players. , let the game give them a deep one-on-one temptation for their specific desires.”

“You are the easiest to wake up.”

Luo Huayue said, “But I also woke up.”

The old man smiled and shook his head: “But it’s easy for you to become addicted again, and it’s even deeper.”

“It’s like smoking DU. Intellectually you know that’s wrong, but the physical perception is happiness, unparalleled happiness.”

“Once the threshold of happiness is raised by the fantasy of the copy, you can’t feel happiness again in a rational situation-“

The old man showed his yellow teeth and smiled: “Are you feeling very depressed now, in a low mood, and don’t know why you are controlling yourself away from those obvious joys?”

Zhang Haiyang answered honestly, “Because Sister Rong won’t let me.”

“That’s because she’s ‘nothing’ for the game, and she has low expectations.” The old man climbed up the side of the boat and picked up the fishing rod: “You are lucky to have a sober person by your side who is willing to listen to her.”

“Unlike me, I struggled to wake up, and no one listened to my advice. I could only watch them sink…”

Rong Yi couldn’t help but ask the question that he cared about most: “You said that the players in the two rounds finally waited for us – you are not the player who entered the dungeon this round, right?”

The old man caught another rainbow fish and hummed, “I’m the survivor of the last round.”

It turns out that this is a copy that allows players to stay overtime!

“How long have you waited since the last round?” Rong Yi asked again.

The old man pressed the broken straw hat on his head, and did not look at the too beautiful clouds in the sky, nor in the water, and his eyes went straight to the distant, empty horizon.

“About…three months…”

Luo Huayue exclaimed, “Oh my God!”

Hunger made Rong Yi’s mind run fast: “You didn’t suggest us to go to the restaurant to find food before, is it because there is a problem with the food on board? For the past three months, you have survived by eating fish?”

“Hehe, talking to a smart person is easy.” The rainbow fish that took the bait was a little big and broke the cotton thread that was the fishing line. The old man was not surprised, he skillfully pulled out a cotton thread from the tattered clothes, wrapped it around the iron rod, tied a piece of bent iron wire at the end, and continued to hook and bait.

Luo Huayue was already hungry and couldn’t take it anymore, so she swallowed: “Grandpa, can you give us some fish as bait? The fish will be returned to you immediately!”

The old man sneered: “Give you fish and meat, do you have fishing rods? Don’t look at this boat that seems to have everything. If you want to find something that can be used as a fishing rod, hehe—” He showed the iron rod in his hand: ” Do you know how long I’ve been looking for this baby?”

Luo Huayue took out the marker pen she always carried with her from her arms: “Don’t be so troublesome.”

There are anti-slip lines on the deck, which makes it difficult to draw. After a little try, she turned to smoothly draw a long straight line on the smooth bulwark, and said something in her mouth:

“5-section telescopic high-strength and high-tenacity carbon cloth fishing rod for sea fishing, with a total length of 120 cm and a weight of 83 grams… Ergonomic non-slip grip, with anti-exploding line hand-cranking reel, high-speed rotation ratio, 30 kg braking force… Special for sea fishing Strong pull anti-bite fishing line… bearing 100 catties…”

“Activate! [Da Vinci draws eggs]!”

A brand-new, professional fishing rod fell off the bulwark and fell into Luo Huayue’s hands lightly.

The old man turned his head, his eyes straightened: “This—your skills—” After a long while, he choked out the words “a bit powerful”.

“Amazing!” Rong Yi couldn’t help but praise: “I didn’t expect you to be a fishing enthusiast.”

Luo Huayue giggled: “It’s not that I like fishing, but I deliberately hone my skills after returning home. I disassemble and study all the electrical appliances, tools, and equipment at home that can be disassembled, to ensure that I can not only Depicting the appearance and dissecting the inner structure, such figurative things are useful. Who knows what strange props will be needed for the next copy!”

Just like practicing boxing to exercise after returning home, Rong Yi thought, other players are also preparing for the game on the day off!

Seeing that they had a fishing rod, the old man generously handed over a few pieces of fish. The professional fishing rod lived up to expectations and caught an arm-length rainbow fish within two minutes.

Zhang Haiyang just stared at the fish for a few seconds, his eyes were a little straight, Rong Yi slapped him on the back of his head and swiped him to wake him up, and like the old man, he processed the fish into two bluish-gray flesh.

“It is said that sea fish has no parasites.” Luo Huayue stared at the fish: “Can I eat it directly as sashimi?”

The old man’s hoarse voice sounded again, and he said the same sentence: “I advise you not to.”

Rong Yi gently sniffed the flesh of the fish, which exuded a strange and attractive plump aroma.

Luo Huayue was very puzzled: “Why can’t you eat it? This is not something from the ship!”

“I’m just guessing,” the old man said. “The first time I tried to fish, I looked down and saw these fish directly.”

“These fish are swarming around the cruise ship with bright colors like a rainbow in the water. I feel like I’m going to be sucked into those beautiful colors!”

“Fortunately, I woke up in time and felt that something was wrong with these fish, so I stopped looking at them and didn’t dare to eat them.”

“Of course, if you young people are brave, try it if you want.” He laughed and teased.

Zhang Haiyang pointed to his bulging cloth bag: “I can’t eat it, why are you still so old?”

“Just use it as bait.” Rong Yi said, “What you really want to catch is not rainbow fish.”

The old man was about to say something when the fishing rod in his hand suddenly tightened, and a fish was hooked!

This time, he was far less relaxed than fishing for rainbow fish. He was so nervous that he almost stood on the side of the boat, his lean muscles bulging, and he desperately controlled the fishing rod.

“This feeling…” The old man’s serious face revealed excitement: “It’s that kind of fish! You can eat it!”

He said, the rough iron fishing rod began to slip faintly due to the sweat of the hands and the weight of the fish.

Rong Yi frowned: “It’s heavy? I’ll come too!”

She climbed onto the side of the ship, where there was only palm-width space for her feet, but two finger-thick decorative steel bars ran parallel across the side, with enough space for her ankles to slip in.

Rong Yi imitated the old man, stuck his feet between the side of the boat and the steel bars to stabilize his body, held the fishing rod with both hands, and pulled up together with the old man!

Zhang Haiyang and Luo Huayue each hugged the waist of one person on the side of the boat, for fear that they would be dragged into the sea by the fish!

“Don’t be impatient!” The old man gasped for breath and reminded him at intervals: “The cruise ship has a speed, we will get tired of walking it, and it will naturally be pulled up!”

“Crackling.” The unnoticeable sound caught Zhang Haiyang’s attention. He raised his head and saw that the fragile cotton thread had been torn off by the excessive pulling force!

“Oops.” The old man also found out, frowning and cursing: “Why is this one so big, the line won’t be able to collapse…”

Luo Huayue’s petite figure was struggling to pull Rong Yi: “…It’s okay, the next one is better…”

“No!” The old man roared, with a desperate attitude: “The probability of this kind of fish being hooked is a hundred times smaller than that of the rainbow fish. If you let this one go, I will be hungry today!”

“squeak”

Another part of the cotton fiber is broken –

“Pull it up!” Zhang Haiyang shouted.

“No!” The old man roared profusely: “The power is balanced now, if I exert force, the line will definitely break!”

“Listen to me! Pull it up!” Zhang Haiyang roared even more excitedly than he was: “It won’t cost you anything if you go on like this. Listen to me and pull it up, I have a way!”

The old man thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, “If you—if you make me hungry today, I’ll eat you!”

With that said, he roared “Haha”, and together with Rong Yi, he pulled the big fish out of the sea while the fishing line was about to break!

They saw it!

It was a fat, sturdy, black-grey big fish with thick thighs, full of vitality, struggling desperately on the hook!

“Snapped”

The fishing line, as expected, was interrupted in mid-air. The fish eyes are about to fall back into the sea—

The old man stretched out his hand eagerly: “My fish!!”

“Activate! [The big water rushed to the Dragon King Temple]!”

This is the first time Rong Yi has seen Zhang Haiyang’s innate skills. He saw the crystal clear sea water spiraling up from the sea like a dragon absorbing water, holding the **** fish and steadily sending it to the top of everyone’s heads.

Rong Yi looked at Zhang Haiyang’s flushed face in order to control the sea water, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he jumped off the side of the ship and was about to run!

But it was too late.

“Ah, so tired.”

When Zhang Haiyang was discouraged, the sea water poured down the big fish!

“Whoa!”

The big fish snapped and danced on the deck, surrounded by several players who were wet from head to toe.

Rong Yi pushed back the wet hair that was hanging in front of his eyes, exposed his smooth forehead, wiped his face, and spat out the salty sea water in his mouth, looking at the embarrassed appearance of his companions, he burst out laughing.

“Ha ha ha ha–“

“What are you laughing at as if you look good now!”

“What do you call this skill, young man? [The flood washed the Dragon King Temple]? It’s very appropriate, and it’s also appropriate…”

“Zhang Haiyang! I saw that you used this skill like a flush toilet since the dungeon of Jikasburg. Why haven’t you made any progress yet? Have you ever practiced it?!”

Everyone was complaining and joking, and gradually, like the stumbling fish, they felt exhausted after a hard battle. They sat down against the side of the boat, and the old man distributed the fish to them.

“Although it’s the fish that everyone worked so hard to get.” Luo Huayue’s eyes were dull, holding the snow-white fish meat, chewing it mechanically: “But I still have to say: it’s really unpalatable.”

Rong Yi reluctantly swallowed the rough and fishy smell of fish with a bit of bitter taste. It was hard to imagine that the old man could have eaten this for three months.

The pool party opposite continues. It was already dinner time, and the aroma of barbecue, the sweet taste of fruit, and the tempting aroma of steak all came with the sea breeze and entered the nostrils of everyone on the side of the boat.

With this aroma, they swallowed the fish with difficulty.

Zhang Haiyang took another piece when one piece was not enough: “Actually, it’s delicious after eating it for a long time. It tastes wild.”

The old man also put on the attitude of an elder: “Those are all sugar-coated cannonballs of the copy! Or is it the fruit of your own labor that is the sweetest, right?”

The crowd responded feebly.

Although not delicious, a single fish is quickly eaten up, and it is indeed not enough for four adults. Rong Yi clapped his hands and looked at the old and weak (Luo Huayue, who was choked to death by fish meat), the sick and disabled (Zhang Haiyang, who used his skills to overdraw his physical strength):

“I’ll go fishing some more.”

Luo Huayue immediately said “hey”: “Sister Rong, don’t, this fish is so big, you can’t handle it alone, don’t pull it into the sea!”

The old man didn’t care, and threw the bag of rainbow fish that was used as bait on his body to her: “It’s alright, it’s rare to find something as big as this one, it’s good if you can catch one the size of a slap. If it’s still a rainbow fish, throw it away. Well, enough bait.”

His stomach was slightly padded, and Rong Yi had the brain to think about his children’s private affairs again.

What about the Emerson classmate who said she was coming to see her? Where have you gone?

She dropped the hook and opened the communication with X while she was waiting.

Rong Yi: Where did the person who said he wanted to see me go?

Rong Yi: You won’t run away, will you?

X: Come, come, come!

Rong Yi looked around and saw no suspicious “people”.

Yes, this “person” needs to be in quotation marks, because the little boyfriend seems to have tacitly accepted that he is an NPC.

Heh, Rong Yi laughs at himself. He has never been in a relationship in his life, but if he talks about it, it’s AI love. I’m really avant-garde.

It doesn’t matter if you are human or data, lied to me for so long, wait for it to come out and be beaten!

She was afraid that the communication system would directly send this thought out as a message, so she quickly changed her mind:

Rong Yi: I’m fishing by the boat, where are you?

X: I’m also beside the boat…

Rong Yi: ? I didn’t see you?

X: What kind of fish are you catching, Rongrong?

Rong Yi: ……

Rong Yi: A black, edible fish, what’s wrong?

X: Wait a minute.

Rong Yi was blowing the sea breeze, while waiting for her boyfriend who suddenly lost news, while waiting for the fish who didn’t know when to take the bait.

Over there, the old man chatted with the two of them: “You two have very powerful and practical skills! You deserve to be a young man who can enter the A-level dungeon.”

“This makes me even more curious. As your squad leader, that girl should have more powerful skills!”

Two people:……emmmmm

Luo Huayue didn’t know what to say: “Sister Rong is amazing, not because of her skills… She is just as amazing as she is…”

Zhang Haiyang added: “Of course her skills are also very powerful – no, it should be said that her skills are very strange!”

Old man: “weird?”

“Ah!” Rong Yi, who was fishing on the side, suddenly called out softly, rolled up the fishing line, and easily pulled up a familiar black fish: “Is it this kind of fish?”

The old man’s eyes widened: “Yes, yes! You are so lucky!”

He personally unloaded the fish for her, but the fish didn’t move: “Dead?”

Rong Yi wondered: “No way, how does a dead fish bite the hook?”

Just as he was talking, the fish suddenly thumped up and jumped from the old man’s hands to the deck. It was very alive!

The old man: “… fainted? The fish you caught, fainted?”

Rong Yi Zhang Er was puzzled: “I look so scared of fish…”

She hooked again, and after a few seconds, she felt the rod sink again.

“Ah, it’s edible again!”

“Why did he faint again… Fortunately, he passed out, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pull such a big one.”

“…Girl, your skills won’t be particularly lucky, right?”

Taking advantage of his luck, Rong Yi hooked again and again.

“Caught again.”

“It’s edible again.”

“Why can such a big fish be stunned by me?”

“Is it enough, will it go bad if you don’t eat it?”

…

Under the side of the ship, in the deep blue sea, a black shadow even larger than this giant cruise ship slowly passed.

It stretched out its thick and terrifying tentacles, accurately caught a black fish among the swarms of rainbow fish, stunned it, and skillfully hung it on the hook hanging down from the side of the boat.

Then it took control and pulled the line carefully.

The fishing line went up with the fainting black fish, and there was a burst of amazement on the deck.

The shadow curled up obediently, occasionally spitting out two bubbles.

blue, blue, blue…

Will make up for it.

In this way, Rongrong shouldn’t be too afraid of me, right?
