Chapter 612: Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountain

Wu An looked at the rain outside, there was no sign of wind or thunder, and he quietly let out a breath.

Good.

Although a heavy rainstorm had fallen, the worst-case scenario he had anticipated did not occur.

But he didn't know why.

He still felt a bit of palpitations.

Mei Wu was playing on his phone, Temple Escape 1, which is still quite popular now; Wu An also played it a bit, but soon lost interest.

Mei Wu also said he found it boring, how could he, after entering university, not even like playing games anymore?

Wu An had nothing to say in response.

What is "Morning Flowers Picked at Dusk"?

Zhou Shuren said it was about recollecting the past, bringing up old matters, but in Wu An's view, it was things he liked in his youth, and obtaining them in middle age already held no meaning.

That is his current state.

This also counts as a minor flaw from his rebirth; after being tempered and beaten by society, he has already lost much of the enjoyment that belongs to youth.

For example, playing games.

Some games nowadays, he simply cannot muster any interest in.

Especially single-player games like Temple Escape, which are currently all the rage; playing a bit is fine, but playing too much gets boring.

On the other hand, online games are exactly at the height of their popularity.

For example, NDF, CF, LOL, and so on, but he's busy making money every day, so when would he have time to play?

Once out at sea, not to mention playing games, even the phone has no signal.

Playing with a ball of yarn.

But it's all right; a man's hobby remains constant, he still likes young girls, otherwise this rebirth would seem rather meaningless.

After Mei Wu finished a round of the game, he lifted his head and saw Wu An spacing out, saying, "A An, you should go get some sleep too; I'll keep watch here."

Wu An took a sip of tea, shook his head: "No, I feel a bit off."

Mei Wu: "You're putting too much pressure on yourself."

"I asked A Fu Ye, and he said the rain looks heavy, but if it's just rain, then it's actually nothing."

At sea, you know.

It's alternating between sunshine and rain; as fishermen, we basically make our living coming and going in wind and rain.

Wu An shook his head and said, "I'm not sleeping."

"Anyway, I can catch up on sleep tomorrow daytime."

"If you're sleepy, just go to sleep."

Mei Wu also took a sip of tea and said, "I'm not sleepy either; today in the helm, while A Fu Ye was steering the boat, I dozed off for a while."

"You don't need to give yourself so much pressure."

"Out at sea, you'll definitely be fine."

Wu An blinked: "Where does your confidence come from?"

Mei Wu chuckled: "It's from Goddess Mazu."

Wu An also laughed a couple of times; although he didn't know whether Goddess Mazu's protection was real, his cheat was genuine, and now the fishing boat's Luck Value has been maxed out.

Whenever it drops, he immediately fills it back up.

Worth mentioning is that the fishing boat's Luck Value is dropping a bit quickly, which indicates there are good things near the boat.

Fortunately, there are still over five hundred points of Luck Value left, which can be expended.

Once the bad weather passes, we can thoroughly explore the vicinity; at the very least, we need to recoup the Luck Value we've consumed.

Open the system.

Then he saw the Luck Value of Big Circle dropping rapidly.

And it's decreasing by several points at a time.

Wu An had been half-reclining, but he suddenly sat up, startling Mei Wu, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Wu An said: "Something's happened."

Only then did he understand why he had been feeling inexplicable palpitations.

Is it because of Big Circle?

Mei Wu nervously sat up: "What happened?"

Wu An looked out the window: "I sent Big Circle to sneakily film Ma Weiqun; it's very likely to get Big Circle in trouble."

Mei Wu chuckled: "A An, I was just saying you're putting too much pressure on yourself."

"Don't overthink it."

"Although Big Circle went out to spy, it's at sea, and Ma Weiqun would never dream that a dolphin would be spying on him."

"Besides, if it were really discovered, Big Circle could just dive into the sea, and Ma Weiqun couldn't do anything to it."

Wu An didn't speak.

What Mei Wu said is correct, but the problem is that the Luck Value bolstered onto Big Circle is plummeting rapidly.

This shouldn't be a problem.

How could this be?

Wu An couldn't stay seated.

He pulled open the door of the rest room on the ship with his raincoat, walked onto the deck, and Mei Wu followed him out; outside, the heavy rain was pounding the ship with a loud pattering sound.

There's also a benefit: after the rain, it's not so stuffy.

He shouted loudly: "A An, go back inside."

Wu An was about to speak when he heard a squeak-squeak-squeak sound; he hurried to the ship's edge and looked out at the sea, where Big Circle's big head popped out.

Wu An reached out and touched him, helping to fill his Luck Value to the max, asking: "What's wrong, are you okay?"

Mei Wu stared dumbfounded.

Holy shit!

He knew about telepathy.

But Wu An and a dolphin both had telepathy, which he hadn't expected.

But upon reflection, it made sense.

Wu An might actually have something on him, which is why he can be so close to these marine creatures.

Big Circle kept shaking its head toward Ma Weiqun's fishing boat; although Big Circle didn't speak, Wu An also knew what it was trying to convey.

Wu An turned his head to look at Mei Wu.

As good buddies, Mei Wu immediately understood: "I'm fine with that."

Wu An nodded: "Call everyone."

Mei Wu hurried over.

Wu An soothed the obviously anxious Big Circle, saying: "Okay, I understand; I'll bring everyone over right away."

He jumped into the sea and removed the camera from Big Circle's body.

Soon.

Everyone was summoned.

When Wu An arrived at the lounge, everyone's faces showed no doubt; they had already heard Mei Wu explain the situation, and Lao Fu Tou said: "Is something wrong?"

Wu An was playing the camera's footage, and the video clearly showed Ma Weiqun and Lin Bin releasing spy fish.

Immediately after, Lin Bin and Ma Weiqun grabbed spears and launched a frenzied attack on the dolphins!

Seeing this.

Only then did Wu An realize that Big Circle's Luck Value was dropping so fast because Big Circle was protecting those dolphins, and it was precisely because of the Luck Value's boost that it hadn't been hurt.

Too bad.

The biggest difference between humans and dolphins lies in their adeptness at using tools.

One of the dolphins was still caught by Ma Weiqun using a cast net and hauled onto the fishing boat.

Seeing this, A Qing already burst out cursing.

Wu An put the camera away, looked at everyone, and said: "Big Circle hopes I go rescue the captured dolphin."

I promised him.

If anyone doesn't want to come with me, they can wait on the island now.

Lao Fu Tou said: "A An, I'll go drive the boat."

I'll go with you.

I'll go too.

Me too.

A Qing made a raised-arm pose and howled: "Take down Ma Weiqun, save the dolphins—it's our duty!"

He's a bit chuunibyou.

But he did voice everyone's feelings.

Wu An nodded.

Everyone knew it was dangerous to sail in this environment and to cause trouble for Ma Weiqun; since they were all willing to follow, he didn't say more.

Big Circle had helped a lot, secretly capturing the crucial footage.

No matter what, he couldn't just stand by.

Otherwise, he would betray the trust of these marine creatures.

Everyone said he was blessed by Goddess Mazu; if Goddess Mazu were in heaven, seeing him go rescue the dolphins, she would probably be pleased too.
