Chapter 131: Exclusive Boat Berth

~9 min read 1,770 words

The finless porpoise, whose consciousness was originally dim, seemed to have a layer of gray fog wiped away from before its eyes, and the world became clearer than ever before.

The finless porpoise saw Liang Qu standing on the bow of the boat, and its instinct told it that this was the only existence infinitely greater than the finless porpoise leader.

Facing such a god, the only thing it could do was to prostrate itself in worship.

Liang Qu stood at the bow, looking in surprise at the finless porpoise, which had its fins pressed together, arched its body, and was prostrate in the water, incomparably pious.

Etiquette!

Without a doubt, etiquette is the socialized process of individual life after thought baptism, and it is also an important node in the evolutionary history of life, meaning the germination of morality and the symbol of social civilization.

The finless porpoise's intelligence was a bit too high.

Taking a look at the Marsh Essence needed for evolution, one thousand four hundred.

Liang Qu casually made up for it. He had eaten sturgeon king meat yesterday and left behind dozens of points of Marsh Essence for emergencies, which just happened to be used.

The Marsh Tripod shone brightly, and the light spots dispersed. After a long time, the finless porpoise's body shape changed, seeming to become smoother.

【Can consume 1,500 points of Marsh Essence to evolve the finless porpoise into a Finless Porpoise King】

This is comfortable now.

Liang Qu felt very comforted in his heart.

"Your head is so round, how about I call you Round Head from now on?"

The finless porpoise happily received its name and pressed its fins together toward Liang Qu, bowing again.

Liang Qu laughed loudly, and then he received a message from Round Head.

"Oh, you also have a wife and child?"

Liang Qu was surprised. He didn't expect Round Head to have such a request; it wanted its child and wife to follow him together.

It wasn't to be dominated, just to follow.

Finless porpoises are different from dolphins; they are monogamous. Round Head's body is huge, clearly an adult porpoise, so it is not surprising that it has a wife and child.

"There's no way now. I'm only an eighth-rank River Patrol Officer and can only have one finless porpoise helper." Liang Qu was powerless about this.

Every finless porpoise has its own "token," which is equivalent to a serial number.

Liang Qu doesn't know if Round Head's wife and child have been taken away by other River Patrol Officers. If they haven't been taken, it's fine; they can come over to play when there is time. If they have been taken, he is powerless.

"I can only wait until I get promoted and ask for one more. By then, I will definitely let your wife and child reunite."

Round Head sent a message again.

"Oh? Your child was just born? No token was made?"

Liang Qu was truly pleasantly surprised this time.

He originally wanted to dominate a finless porpoise because it is a gregarious creature, and having a leader is equivalent to indirectly dominating a group of younger brothers.

But Liang Qu's idea was to develop slowly and go to gather wild finless porpoises. He didn't expect Round Head to bring him a surprise so quickly, so he agreed immediately.

"Go see your other partners first. After meeting, you can go and bring them back, and just live with them."

It just so happened that he caught two treasure fish last night, so he could go and harvest them along the way.

Round Head was excited and nodded in thanks.

Liang Qu took the finless porpoise to the lotus water area and let it meet the other beasts and say hello.

The Fatty Catfish happily brought the treasure fish and spat them into the boat. When it saw the finless porpoise Round Head, its sense of crisis flared up, and it kept circling around Round Head.

This guy is a size bigger than it and the immobile one!

The position of the Heavenly God's first fierce general is not guaranteed!

But A-Fei thought of its Toad Brother and felt relieved again. With Toad Brother around, it would always be different!

The immobile one was as indifferent as ever. The spring river water was warm, but it had no sign of becoming lively at all.

Liang Qu had always thought that the immobile one didn't like to move because of the weather, but now he knew that it was just indifferent by nature.

Quan Tou was certainly very welcoming of Yuan Tou's arrival, catching a large yellow-cheek carp in the river as a gift.

The Heavenly Water Centipede coiled on Fist-Head's head and also said hello.

Round Head thanked them one by one, showing a high degree of politeness, completely different from the other beasts in their original state, with a bit of an "elite style" in it.

As a finless porpoise, Round Head is a social animal, and as a spirit monster, it has been in contact with humans for many years and has extraordinary knowledge. After his domination and enlightenment, judging by its current performance, it is almost no different from a human.

With this level, it can completely be the teacher of the four beasts!

Liang Qu thought of this. He had thought about this in the courtyard yesterday, but he didn't expect the problem to be solved today.

He thought he would have to go into battle himself, but he didn't expect to solve another trouble invisibly.

After communicating with Round Head, Round Head immediately took on the heavy responsibility, saying that it would be the teacher of the four beasts in the future and expand their cognition.

A-Fei scratched its head, not understanding.

The immobile one didn't move at all.

Fist-Head spat out a series of bubbles.

A-Wei curled into a ball on Quantou's head and rolled into the water.

"A-Fei, remember to take Round Head to recognize the path of the underground passage. I won't feed you the treasure fish today; I'm planning to go sell them."

Liang Qu was currently a bit tight on money. After settling accounts with Uncle Chen, he only had ninety-odd taels of silver. He had listed a list, and it was still a bit short for buying furniture and hiring servants.

The four beasts of course had no opinion. They didn't have as much desire for treasure fish as before.

Liang Qu rowed the new boat back to the shore and found Lin Songbao to recognize the boat, and sold the treasure fish along the way.

Lin Songbao looked at the brand-new boat and asked curiously: "Brother Shui, are you really an official?"

"Yeah, serving at the River Patrol Office, a from-eighth-rank River Patrol Officer. I went to register today and just collected the boat."

"Really stylish. This is the best-looking fishing boat I've ever seen. Wait, Brother Shui, I'll take you to a place." After giving the money, Lin Songbao led Liang Qu to the pier and pointed to several water berths.

"Nowadays the pier is not enough, my father is expanding it, and specifically made this kind of one-boat-one-position for rich people. Several have been built now, and they are still expanding in the back. I'll make the decision; these two positions are for Brother Shui. From now on, your boat will be parked here, under my nose, and I guarantee to keep it firmly watched for you!"

"How much?"

"No charge!"

"No charge?"

"Yeah."

The original pier was just inserting many wooden piles into the water, and every household's fishing boat was tied to them. When a big wind blew, they would all crash together.

Now the boat position Lin Songbao mentioned is a bit like a dock, separated by wooden boards on both sides, becoming a "single room," which is naturally much better.

Liang Qu pondered for a moment and agreed.

Really corrupt.

Does this count as bribery?

Liang Qu shook his head repeatedly. That is mutual help among fellow villagers; how can it count as bribery?

Xue Chengquan distributed porridge before, and Lin Songbao helped watch the scene. It was precisely because of this that there was much less wrangling, and the needy truly drank the porridge. Throughout the winter, the orphans and widows of Yixing Town survived seven or eight out of ten; his heart is not bad.

He shook his head and suddenly asked before leaving: "Songbao, have you ever thought about learning martial arts?"

"Learning martial arts?" Lin Songbao was stunned, then shook his head. "Never thought about it. Learning martial arts must cost quite a bit of silver, right? My father can afford it, but he won't provide it. My younger brother might go, and then Brother Shui will have to take care of him."

"Don't talk about providing or not, just tell me if you want to learn."

Lin Songbao was stunned, his heart moved.

Learning martial arts, is there really anyone who doesn't want to?

Excluding those true playboys, who doesn't want to practice martial arts?

"Want, of course I want! But..."

Yixing Market became Yixing Town, and there was a large gap in fish and meat in the county town. Lin Di was doing very well. It was not a matter of money at all; it was all stinginess and etiquette at work.

Sometimes the gap between the legitimate son and the concubine's son is really too big. The concubine loses favor, and many people don't even treat the concubine's son as a son.

"There's no 'but'. Go back and tell your father that I think you have talent and are a seedling for learning martial arts. That's it, I'm leaving."

Liang Qu has now begun to learn knowledge about bone structure. Although he has never touched bones, he can roughly see four or five out of ten. Lin Songbao's bone structure is not too bad, at least a passing grade.

Coupled with his young age, unlike middle-aged people like Uncle Chen, his plasticity is still there.

I dare not say anything else, but as long as Lin Songbao works hard enough, it is not difficult to become a first-pass martial artist within a year.

After saying that, Liang Qu turned and left, leaving behind Lin Songbao, who was stunned and then extremely excited.

Who wants to stay in the fishing fence every day and deal with fish if they can learn martial arts?

Nowadays, Liang Qu's status is getting higher and higher, and he can already decide the fate of others with one word. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
