Chapter 299: Coming Ashore
Seeing the double ponytail girl take out her phone, Chu Ge was instantly pleased.
Coming across a psychic goldfish, any normal person would want to scoop it up and then worship it.
The double ponytail girl didn't have the ability to catch him, so she could only call someone.
Leek floated next to Chu Ge and said, "Don't you drag me into this later."
Chu Ge replied irritably, "Don't worry, a single leek isn't enough to get stuck in the teeth."
"What if her family has other leeks? Adding one more leek, like me, wouldn't be too bad."
"Would you go and scoop up a leek from the river?"
"You make a good point."
Although the two Survivors patiently waited.
About twenty minutes passed.
Three police officers strolled over leisurely.
The double ponytail girl was already waving at them.
Chu Ge was stunned.
"Pfft hahaha—"
Leek mercilessly laughed at his side, making Chu Ge want to hit someone.
He looked at the double ponytail girl who was anxious, at a loss for words.
Girl,
you look so cute, how can you be so naive?
He immediately sank into the river water.
The police officers gathered at the bank and looked down, but didn't see any goldfish.
One of the female police officers widened her eyes and scolded like a school disciplinarian, "Girl, don't fool people for no reason, didn't your parents teach you?!"
The double ponytail girl was extremely aggrieved and quickly said, "Really, that goldfish was so sleazy! It sprayed water at my face twice! It must be a water demon!"
The three police officers couldn't be bothered with her and turned to leave.
The double ponytail girl stamped her foot in anger.
She turned around to look at the river surface when suddenly Chu Ge popped his head out and squirted water on her face again.
Annoyed, she yelled at Chu Ge, "You dead water demon! Stinky water demon! I hope you stay in a stinky ditch all your life!"
Chu Ge didn't understand her words, but seeing her so livid, he inexplicably felt great.
After cursing for a while, the double ponytail girl finally left.
Chu Ge, with Leek in his mouth, turned and walked back the way he had come.
Night fell.
Chu Ge had previously experienced the Pacific Ocean Competition, so he wasn't afraid in the river at night.
However, Leek was very scared.
"What's there to be scared of for a single leek? You're like a vegetable that fell in the toilet; nobody would want to eat you," Chu Ge said irritably. At first, he had thought Leek was smarter, but now he felt this guy was hopeless.
He began to teach Leek some survival tips.
Meeting is fate, after all, and he had nothing else to do.
Leek didn't talk back, listening attentively.
That night, they encountered no danger.
City rivers didn't have those terrifying legendary water demons or ghosts.
Aside from the dimming of the lights, there was no difference from daytime.
The most Chu Ge encountered were some bugs, rarely fish, let alone other Survivors.
With Leek's company, Chu Ge wasn't lonely.
The next morning arrived.
Chu Ge, with Leek in his mouth, surfaced and continued searching for suitable passersby.
There was only five days total.
Now that the first day had gone by, if things kept on like this, he might really end up being a salted fish for the duration.
That would be annoying.
All morning, Chu Ge was looking for suitable passersby.
His target was still women.
Moreover, those women who seemed to have a gentle face.
When he sprayed water on them, their reactions varied.
Some were angry, some bashful, some wiped their faces and continued on their way without a pause.
Just when Chu Ge was about to lose hope, a girl with large-frame glasses, moved by his actions, took out her water bottle and attempted to scoop up Chu Ge.
Chu Ge's eyes brightened as he scrutinized the girl.
Barefaced, her skin was very white.
Her jet-black hair was sleekly tied behind her head and braided into a big braid.
Her demeanor had a very Huaxia feel to it.
The Maxun Archipelago is already close to the Huaxia Sea Area, so it's normal for there to be overseas Chinese around here.
This Glasses Girl has quite an attractive appearance, giving Chu Ge a very refreshing feeling.
Being so adorable, she must be a good girl.
Chu Ge excitedly thought to himself.
Leek snorted, "You just look for pretty girls. I'm telling you, women are all deceivers, and even after they've fooled you, they won't admit it. They make it seem like you were the one who tricked them."
"Are you sick? I'm not picking a girlfriend. I have a wife, and she's prettier than her. She treats me very well," Chu Ge retorted.
"Keep bragging. We're all Survivors. Would your wife die for you? If she became a Survivor, she'd definitely drag you down."
"She really would die for me and has never held me back."
"Heh, men, so foolish."
"Aren't you a man?"
"I'm experienced and I'm imparting life experience to you."
The two started bickering again, and Chu Ge couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards Leek.
It seems this guy was terribly cheated by a woman.
Out of ten men, six have been deceived by women.
The rest are all homebodies.
Glasses Girl was quite skilled, looping her earphone cord around the handle of the water bottle and lowering it towards the river.
Unfortunately, the earphone cord wasn't long enough.
"Little darling, you're so spirited, why not jump up here?" Glasses Girl said with a face full of expectation, very cute, giving off the vibe of an adorable girl from a Japanese anime.
Chinese!
Indeed, she's Chinese!
Chu Ge bit onto Leek, leaped above the surface of the river, jumped more than a meter high, and deftly dived into the water bottle.
Glasses Girl was overjoyed, promptly lifting the water bottle.
Looking at the goldfish inside the bottle, she said with a beaming smile, "You're a goldfish with a human touch, I have a big aquarium at home, lots of fish in it, just like you, very spirited."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ge immediately froze.
Leek wailed, "Damn! It seems it's not just you who has such clever wit!"
It's just a leek and doesn't want to be shared amongst the Survivors.
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited.
Excellent!
A Survivor!
Finally, I've encountered one!
He snorted, "I'm meant to kill the enemy!"
"Calm down, you're just a little goldfish, any small kid could pinch you to death," Leek demoralized him.
Chu Ge didn't reply, already looking forward to what was to come.
As Glasses Girl walked, she talked to Chu Ge.
To be precise, she was talking to herself.
As he listened, Chu Ge sensed that something was off.
Water Snakes...
Eels...
Turtles...
King Crabs...
Wait a second!
Is your home really an aquarium, not an aqua park?
Chu Ge started to panic.
With Raging Flame Separation, he could kill most Survivors.
But if the opponent's species talent was too strong, that would be problematic.
Each Three Stars Survivor has their own abilities.
Glasses Girl didn't go home, but went to work instead.
Half an hour later, Chu Ge and Leek were poured into a glass cup.
Glasses Girl wanted to take Leek away, but Chu Ge bit onto Leek and wouldn't let go. There was nothing she could do, so she had to leave the leek behind.
Chu Ge began to survey the surroundings.
This place was actually an antique shop, not very large inside, with walls lined with various trinkets and a double-sided cabinet in the center of the room, equally filled with all kinds of antiques.
Similar to many old streets in Huaxia selling such items. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire
Name tags, prayer beads, bracelets, Jade Pendants, earrings, and so on.
Chu Ge was on the cashier's counter, next to him another glass cup, containing a little black fish.
The little black fish didn't move at all, its mouth slightly open, blowing bubbles, looking quite dumb.
"So silly," Chu Ge muttered.
"You're the silly one, your whole family is silly," Xiao Black Fish shot back.
