Chapter 124: Pokémon of the Multiverse: Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 55
Among them, the most valuable are the [Good Rod] and the skill [Surf].
Especially the [Good Rod], as one of the important items, Luo Ge has already started looking forward to what fish he can catch.
Luo Ge’s thoughts moved, and a fishing rod with a somewhat special appearance appeared in his hand.
In the game, there are three types of fishing rods, namely [Old Rod], [Good Rod], and the best [Super Rod].
A fish float similar to a Pokémon ball hangs in front of the fishing rod, and there is also a Pokémon ball logo on the purple handle.
Once in hand, Luo Ge felt that this fishing rod felt very good, as if no matter how heavy something was, it could be pulled up.
Casually patting the sand off Eevee, putting it on his shoulder, Luo Ge walked to the boardwalk where Machi and the others were, preparing to fish.
"Eh? Are you planning to fish?"
"This fishing rod looks quite special."
Machi supported herself on the wooden fence, the sea breeze brushing her pink-purple hair, and asked curiously.
Luo Ge walked to the side, picked a position based on feeling, and smiled: "Yes, thinking of trying my fishing rod."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ge flicked the rod, and the fish float floated on the sea surface a little further away, motionless.
An old man beside him walked over with his hands behind his back and said earnestly:
"Young man, you don't even have bait, how can you catch fish?"
"It’s okay, I’m just throwing the rod to try it; if no fish bites the hook, it’s not too late for me to put bait."
Luo Ge explained casually.
The old man was about sixty years old, carrying a straw hat similar to a farmer’s, and because he had been blowing the sea breeze for a long time, there were many wrinkles on his face.
When the old man heard this, he shook his head helplessly, thinking of teaching Luo Ge some fishing knowledge.
"Young man, don't look at me like this; I am a famous fishing master here, but you have to bait before fishing."
When it comes to the field he is good at, the old man immediately straightened his back, showing a confident smile, thinking of teaching the young man a few tricks.
The old man counted on his fingers and pondered: "First is baiting, and secondly, choosing a fishing spot is also very important."
"It’s not deep enough here, it’s hard to catch big fish; I recommend you go to the sea cliff over there, but it’s not very suitable to go there recently."
Seeing that the fishing rod had no movement, Luo Ge chatted with the old man for a few words while he was idle: "Oh? Why is it not suitable to go there recently?"
"Eevee?"
Eevee also learned from Luo Ge and called out in doubt.
The old man didn't take it seriously, only thinking Eevee was a pet raised by Luo Ge.
After all, there are all kinds of strange creatures in the six continents, and it is normal to have ones he doesn't know.
The old man looked around twice, and then lowered his voice as if saying some unspeakable secret:
"Actually, that sea cliff was originally a sightseeing spot, and many tourists would go there to see the sea view."
"As a result, a couple recently jumped into the sea to commit suicide at that sea cliff, which happened to be reported and publicized."
"For no reason, the sea cliff got a name, called [Cliff of True Love]."
"Since then, couples from all over the world have jumped into the sea from time to time; those are people who didn't want to live in the first place."
Luo Ge raised an eyebrow, not expecting such a thing to happen, and didn't know what kind of psychology this was.
Follow-the-crowd mentality?
Even committing suicide for love has to find a "holy land"?
The old man continued: "Since then, I have come to turn around twice from time to time, and now I get scared when I see men and women appearing in pairs."
"I’m afraid they are here to commit suicide for love again."
Luo Ge was stunned, then glanced at Machi who was eavesdropping beside him, and asked:
"I say, old man, did you originally think that the two of us were also here to commit suicide for love, so you came over?"
When the old man heard this, he pointed to the fish float on the sea and changed the subject: "Look at the fish float, it seemed to move just now."
Luo Ge, Machi, and others: ...
"Hahaha, you saw through it; it’s mainly because I can't bear to see living lives disappear, thinking that I can save one if I can."
The old man scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet; my name is Corbett, and the marine appliance store over there is opened by me."
"My name is Luo Ge, and these are my partners."
Luo Ge nodded and introduced briefly.
Before he could say much, he saw a few bubbles emerge on the sea surface, and after they burst, more bubbles appeared.
Immediately after, the fish float sank suddenly, was dragged down directly, and a huge force was transmitted to Luo Ge’s hand along the fishing rod, as if it wanted to drag him away.
Luo Ge’s eyes condensed, his body sank slightly, his center of gravity moved down, both hands tightly gripped the rod, and he began to wrestle with the unknown fish.
"It actually really caught a fish?!"
Corbett was stunned, his jaw dropped, and he wiped his eyes in disbelief, suspecting that his old eyes were dim.
Luo Ge had no bait, no bait, and was in a shallow sea area, yet he could catch a big fish?!
Then what did his experience accumulated over decades of fishing count for?
Luo Ge didn't know that his [Good Rod] had made an old fisherman doubt life.
Seeing this, the three of Machi also gathered around.
Luo Ge gritted his teeth, his hands gathered intense Nen, and the pure Nen wrapped the fishing rod along with his hand, feeling much easier.
The next moment, Luo Ge exerted force suddenly, pulling the fishing rod upward quickly, and the giant creature in the sea also jumped out of the sea, drawing an arc in the air.
Boom!
The huge shadow shrouded the few for a moment, and then fell heavily on the beach, making a loud noise.
That is, there were only them here; otherwise, it would have caused a sensation.
Luo Ge breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the [Good Rod] in his hand, feeling that it was worthy of the word "good."
Such a huge and heavy creature could be pulled up, and even unscathed; it was completely impossible to change to other fishing rods.
After seeing the creature clearly, Corbett widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"Actually caught a giant clam with an exaggerated body size?!"
I saw that in the pit on the beach, there was a giant clam about ten meters long, gray-white in color, with gorgeous patterns on the surface.
The shell is slightly triangular, the top of the shell is curved, the edge of the shell is wavy, and the surface is gray, with several deep grooves like being crushed by wheels.
So the giant clam is also called "Tridacna."
The mantle is large and very rough, with several thick imbricate radial ribs, and the growth veins are obvious, forming curved overlapping wrinkles on the surface of the shell.
Normally, whether it is a giant clam or a shell, it is obtained by fishing.
But today it was caught by Luo Ge.
Corbett rubbed his eyes again, feeling like he was dreaming today.
Then he thought again that being able to pull up such a huge and heavy giant clam showed that Luo Ge was also not simple.
Perhaps... he was also that kind of person.
Biscuit looked at the giant clam, her eyes lit up, and she immediately associated it with the beautiful pearls she saw in the magazine just now.
Such a big giant clam, the pearls that come out must be big enough to make people eat a surprise.
"Hehehe, super pearl."
Shizuku and Machi saw this, and immediately knew what Biscuit was thinking, their faces were calm, and they were already used to it.
Luo Ge pondered for a moment, then walked to the giant clam, intending to pry it open; maybe there really was a huge pearl.
Corbett was startled.
"Luo Ge, come back quickly, don't get close to it!"
"The bite force of a giant clam is very strong!"
Corbett was not alarmist; such a giant clam could cut a person in half with a single bite.
As Luo Ge got closer and closer, the giant clam also became restless, like the big clam in SpongeBob, and began to shake.
The next moment, a flash of purple light flashed, and Nidoking quietly appeared behind the giant clam, with a pair of big hands grabbing the upper and lower shells of the giant clam respectively.
"Roar!"
Nidoking exerted force, and the giant clam was pulled open, the upper and lower shells were pried 180 degrees, and it was difficult to restore to its original state.
In an instant, dazzling and colorful light emerged from the giant clam; this is a common feature of giant clams, and the inside is colorful.
Seeing the suddenly appearing giant beast, Corbett’s first reaction was surprise, and the second reaction was to confirm his idea.
Luo Ge was indeed that kind of person!
However, the scene inside the giant clam made everyone even more surprised.
Biscuit’s eyes were solemn, and she subconsciously asked in doubt: "This is?"
In that bright giant clam, there was a semi-atrophied, gradually becoming a dried corpse shell meat, and some other seafood fragments.
A blood-red pearl the size of a fist stayed quietly among a pile of "dried corpses," emitting an eerie and charming luster.
Ordinary pearls are basically white, purple, and other colors.
And this blood-red pearl is like containing fresh blood, everywhere revealing the blood-red luster of blood.
The size is not like an ordinary pearl, it is the size of a whole fist, belonging to a giant pearl that is well-deserved.
Corbett said in surprise: "What’s going on?"
"Actually a blood-red pearl?"
Corbett was not particularly surprised by the size of the pearl; after all, the giant clam was so big, the body size of the pearl would naturally be extraordinary.
In contrast, the color of the pearl and the situation of the giant clam meat were more worthy of surprise.
He had seen countless pearls, but none of them were like this blood-red appearance.
[Blood-red Pearl]: Can fill itself by absorbing the life breath of surrounding creatures.
The more intense the blood color, the more life breath it absorbs.
