15: Chapter 15 Deep Blue Ocean, Mengyao Fishing, Willing to Take the Bait

[The Spaceship will soon arrive at Deep Blue Ocean. You will have ten hours to collect supplies. We depart at six sharp. Players who fail to board in time can bid this world farewell.]

Seeing the Spaceship was about to arrive, Captain Qin Hao quickly discussed with the girls how many people they should send out.

"Next stop is Deep Blue Ocean. Is anyone willing to go?"

Captain Qin Hao thought the sharks in the ocean weren't the most terrifying part; it was the elusive unknown that instilled the greatest fear in everyone. He feared the girls wouldn't dare to go.

However, the result surprised Captain Qin Hao. Quite a few girls actually wanted to go on the adventure.

"I'll go!"

"I want to go too!"

"Then I'll go as well! Let's all do our best together!"

It seemed that as a group, no one wanted to be useless; everyone wanted to contribute.

Even if no one said it out loud, not pulling their own weight was something they found hard to accept, feeling an inexplicable sense of being looked down upon.

Captain Qin Hao said, "Although the three-day protection period offers some safety, it's still very dangerous. Let's discuss it together first, then decide who to take."

As the strongest combatant, he would go himself to ensure a safety net.

Finally, after Captain Qin Hao's consideration, it was the familiar lineup once more.

The strongest combatant himself, the prophet Rao Shuqing, the Healer Zhao Zihan, the ice-wielder Leng Shi, the Beast Tamer Lin Mengyao, the weapon-talent Lu Shuang, and the purification-talent Kong Linger. A total of seven people were deployed.

Too many people would be troublesome.

Ling Xiaoke felt a bit sad. Her first outing had been quite useful, but now that everyone had clothes, her usefulness had diminished.

Captain Qin Hao noticed the little girl's low spirits and comforted her, "You and Su Nian will guard our Spaceship base and protect the girls on board."

"Also, you girls will take turns fishing. Whether we have fish to eat depends entirely on you!"

After he used the constitution strengthening fluid on them, none of them were destined to be useless.

Now was the perfect time to let them all have their roles, so they wouldn't secretly feel downhearted.

Captain Qin Hao thought for a moment and granted Spaceship administrator permissions to Su Nian and Li Mengmeng.

This way, they could enter and exit the Spaceship, as well as activate its protective systems.

Lu Shuang laughed, "I made over a dozen fishing rods for you. You can chat and exchange tips."

Following Captain Qin Hao's instructions, she had also made some wooden boats. She placed a few inside the Spaceship for their use and stored the rest with Captain Qin Hao.

Li Mengmeng, however, didn't feel useless. As the psychological committee member, she was naturally lively and cheerful, the one who cheered everyone up.

She had already planned to handle logistics. Whoever brought back food, she would cook!

Li Mengmeng said in a coquettish tone, "Captain Qin Hao, you all must come back safely. When you do, Mengmeng will cook you a reward meal."

She then looked at Ling Xiaoke and the other girls and said, "And sisters who didn't get to go this time, don't worry about it. There will be plenty of chances later."

The League Branch Secretary, Chen Xiao, also stepped forward to steady morale. With so many girls, each with their own thoughts, they couldn't afford to fall into disarray.

Chen Xiao encouraged, "Alright, alright, sisters. Didn't Lu Shuang make fishing rods? Let's go fishing! Let's show Captain Qin Hao how capable we are!"

Captain Qin Hao nodded inwardly. Having Vice Monitor Su Nian, League Branch Secretary Chen Xiao, psychological committee member Li Mengmeng, and others around made things much easier.

He left behind instant noodles and some other food, then departed the Spaceship with Rao Shuqing and the others.

Because at that moment, the Spaceship had just arrived at the station.

Once outside, their eyes were met with a vast expanse of azure seawater, stretching as far as they could see.

This place truly lived up to its name as the Azure Coast station.

The shimmering sea surface and the sound of waves crashing against the Spaceship gave Captain Qin Hao and the others an instant feeling of refreshment.

"Ah~ So comfortable."

Zhao Zihan took a deep breath of the fresh air and said with intoxication.

The seven of them were sitting on a simple wooden boat, rowing towards a specific location.

Rao Shuqing had divined that direction. It seemed dangerous, but there might also be treasure chests!

Captain Qin Hao decided to head there, confident in his strength.

If he activated Tenfold Amplification, he could knock out a killer whale with one punch.

At this moment, Kong Linger was sitting by the boat's edge, her delicate pink feet playfully skimming the seawater like a dragonfly touching water, looking utterly carefree.

This ethereal girl possessed a pure and flawless heart, giving off an otherworldly aura that left the others momentarily stunned.

"Wow, Linger, you look so beautiful and captivating like this. If I were a guy, I'd probably drink all the seawater," Zhao Zihan teased.

Zhao Zihan thought that even as a girl, she found her incredibly beautiful. Guys would surely fall for her.

Captain Qin Hao's face darkened. As a guy, he firmly debunked that—he definitely wouldn't drink *all* the seawater.

At most, he'd drink just a *tiny bit* of the seawater around Kong Linger...

If seawater were drinkable, he might have even said, "Wow, this is sweet!"

Hearing this, Kong Linger was also full of question marks. Pouting her little mouth, she said, "Zihan, what on earth are you talking about? Do you need your head purified?"

Lu Shuang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "I think it's actually feasible. Doesn't Linger have a purification talent? Purifying seawater could be sold for a high price!"

Zhao Zihan pouted, "Don't even think about it. Why should we reward them?"

Captain Qin Hao was both amused and exasperated. These few were real characters, and they certainly talked a lot.

The icy class belle, Leng Shi, remained silent like an ice goddess.

The school belle, Lin Mengyao, was shy and didn't talk much.

Rao Shuqing continued her divinations. Using her talent was mentally draining, so she didn't join the conversation either.

At that moment, a small yellow croaker performed a carp leap, landing directly on Captain Qin Hao and the others' boat, swimming straight towards Lin Mengyao.

Captain Qin Hao was stunned. The fish had actually taken the bait on its own. Truly befitting of Lin Mengyao.

Actually, looking around, he saw no fish nearby. This fish had probably been attracted from very far away.

Seeing this, Zhao Zihan exclaimed with delight, "Wow, we're having fish for dinner!"

"Meng Yao fishes, the willing take the bait!"

Lu Shuang said helplessly, "All you think about is eating, you glutton. Such a foodie."

She knew that with Lin Mengyao's talent, once the first animal appeared, more would surely follow in a continuous stream.

At this point, Lin Mengyao also noticed the little fish swimming towards her. Not afraid at all, she immediately scooped it up with both hands and placed it back in the water.

After all, once a fish is out of water, its life becomes quite fragile.

Captain Qin Hao saw that upon meeting Lin Mengyao, the little yellow croaker actually shook its head and wagged its tail happily, seemingly overjoyed, even blowing bubbles at her.

Lin Mengyao felt very close to small animals. She spoke softly to the little yellow croaker, "Be good, don't be so reckless next time. Can you take me to your home?"

Because Lin Mengyao thought Captain Qin Hao would surely want the little yellow croaker to lead them to its school. She voiced it directly.

When the time came to round up the entire school, she would just ensure this little yellow croaker's survival...
