Chapter 128

But inexplicably, its heart felt much lighter.

Perhaps it could have a good friend too?

【Carter Port】 has a large annual temperature range; summer highs can reach 30 degrees, while winter lows can drop below zero.

It is also because of this diverse climate that the variety of fish here is quite rich.

Because 【Mirage】 belongs to Carter Port's flagship project, the layout area of 【Mirage】 within Carter Port is extremely vast.

One could say that except for residential areas, all other places are used to arrange 【Mirage】 or industries related to 【Mirage】.

Since 【Mirage】 occupies a large area, the street layout is relatively spacious, and rows of neat tents line both sides of the streets.

Under the tents are small vendors, displaying all kinds of seafood products.

"Fresh tuna, selling cheap!"

"Pearls of excellent quality; if you miss them, they're gone!"

"..."

After lunch, the group began to visit the most famous 【Mirage】.

Luo Ge and the other three, plus an Eevee, wove through the bustling 【Mirage】, their eyes dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

"Hehehe, pearls..."

Bisigui was like a diligent bee, darting here and there; whenever she saw or heard the word "pearl," she would run over to take a look.

However, most of the pearls failed to catch her eye.

Unknowingly, Luo Ge and the others had already crossed 【Mirage】 and arrived near the beach.

Here too, there was a row of shops.

Luo Ge suddenly remembered that Korbert had said earlier that the shop he opened was right here.

Walking forward a few steps, they saw a huge sea-blue signboard with "The Old Man and the Sea" written on it.

Hmm... 630

This was a fishing tackle shop.

No need to say more; nine times out of ten, this was the shop Korbert opened.

The store's scale was not large, considered medium-sized; the signboard was covered in some dust, showing that this shop had been open for a long time.

Outside the store stood a sun umbrella; perhaps Korbert would occasionally set up a lounge chair outside the shop to enjoy the afternoon hours.

At the entrance hung two small blue curtains, covering only the upper half; one could see inside by bending down.

Before even entering, Luo Ge and the others heard a bold voice.

"Hahaha, old man, then I'll take your precious surfboard away."

"Alright, alright, just don't break it."

Immediately after, the blue curtains were lifted, and a rather burly man walked out from within.

The man had a sturdy build, skin nearly bronze-colored, full of masculine energy.

He wore signature sunglasses, and on his body was a very classic beach outfit, the blue symbolizing the sea paired with some patterns.

No eyebrows, broad nose, lion-like mouth, square chin, astonishing muscles, a standard big-guy image, and a head of neat white hair.

However, the broad nose, square face, and brown skin were not as conspicuous as the large tobacco pipe resting on his shoulder.

Only now was this large tobacco pipe wrapped in cloth strips, to be taken off only when fighting.

Bisigui paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise: "Old Master Mo?"

Old Master Mo pushed his sunglasses up, equally surprised: "Bisigui?"

Standing before Luo Ge and the others was none other than Mo Lao Wu, who had quite a bit of screen time in the original work.

Machi and Shizuku were completely puzzled; they did not know Old Master Mo, and it seemed he was someone Bisigui knew.

What they did not know was that Luo Ge also knew Mo Lao Wu, but only from reading the original work on Blue Star.

He had not expected to meet Mo Lao Wu here.

But thinking it over carefully, Mo Lao Wu was a Marine Hunter, so appearing in a famous port city was quite reasonable.

After some conversation between the two sides, they understood that Mo Lao Wu had come here for surfing.

Mo Lao Wu loved the sea very much; he basically stayed in various coastal cities all year round, in every season.

He and Korbert were also old friends; judging by Mo Lao Wu's current age of thirty, the two could be considered friends across generations.

And Old Master Mo also learned the reason why Bisigui had appeared here.

"You actually took on apprentices?"

"And three at once?"

Mo Lao Wu was stunned, as if hearing something unimaginable.

He also knew Bisigui quite well and was clear that her standards for things were quite high.

For someone like her to take on apprentices, the apprentices must surely be excellent in every aspect.

Mo Lao Wu's broad palm patted Luo Ge's shoulder, his tone cheerful:

"One look and you're clearly a standout among men; if anything happens in the future, come find me."

As a son of the sea, Mo Lao Wu's personality was very bold, yet he remained very calm at critical moments; he was a person worth deep friendship.

"Is Luo Ge here?"

Korbert's voice came from inside the shop; immediately after, he walked out, a look of understanding appearing on his face.

Mo Lao Wu's expression shifted slightly; recalling what Korbert had just said, he asked in a low voice:

"Old man, the person you just mentioned wouldn't happen to be..."
