Gu Ling looked around and saw no other Nian family members, so he took Xianjiu a few steps over: "Grandpa Nian? Are you here to see the sea again?"
The old man didn't reply, he just kept staring at the sea quietly.
At the intersection of the sea and the sky, there is a faint outline of an island.
Is there anything on that island?
Is it worth keeping the old man thinking about you?
...Hiss, there won’t be any treasure, right?
When Gu Ling's mind was wide open, Xianjiu curiously approached the old man's feet and looked up at the old man: "Miwu~"
After hearing Xianjiu's voice, the old man slowly lowered his head and glanced at Xianjiu.
Gu Ling quickly picked up Xianjiu and turned to leave: "The old man is watching the sea, let's go further."
The stones Gu Ling picked up in the morning were piled together, making them more conspicuous.
Gu Ling walked over, picked up a few stones, and turned to look at Xian Jiu: "After throwing the stones, use the whirlwind multi-kick to keep up. Kick as many times as you can in a row."
"Also, don't kick the stone towards me!" Gu Ling warned worriedly.
Xianjiu put his hands on his hips: "Miwu~"
Don't worry~Beast Tamer~
I will never kick you!
……10 minutes later.
"Whoosh~"
With an indifferent expression, Gu Ling quickly opened the umbrella in his hand and blocked another small flying stone.
Ha~
She knew it!
Fortunately, she had the foresight to go out with an extra umbrella.
"..."
After practicing the whirlwind multiple kicks for two hours, Xianjiu continued to practice the high-speed shadowless step in the sea in the morning. His petite body ran wildly in the sea, causing waves of water splashes.
The training did not end until 18:00 in the afternoon.
When Gu Ling and Xianjiu were leaving the beach, they saw the old man standing on the beach in a daze.
"Grandpa Nian, let's go first." Gu Ling said hello and left with Xianjiu.
After returning home, Gu Ling thought of the old man at the beach and asked Xiang Jinli again: "Second Aunt, is it still possible to go up to the island over there?"
Xiang Jinli shook her head: "That area has become an abandoned island. It has been uninhabited for many years. In addition, there are many water-type beasts in the sea. Most ships' routes will deliberately avoid that location..."
What this means is that if you want to find a public boat to go to the island now, you probably won't be able to find it, unless it is a rented or purchased private boat.
After dinner, Gu Ling assigned Xianjiu another task for the evening: "Watch the game for two hours first. After watching the game, you can play games or practice typing."
"Miwu~" Xianjiu flew towards the tablet.
Gu Ling sat cross-legged on the bed: "If Sister Yaya and the others come to me, tell them that I am meditating."
Xianjiu nodded without raising his head, looking at the game video played on the tablet with a pair of bright cat eyes.
When Gu Ya came to the room to look for someone, Xianjiu held up the three words typed on the tablet and showed them to Gu Ya:
——Meditating.
Seeing this, Gu Ya touched Xianjiu's head and said softly: "Then when the meditation is over, tell Gu Ling that we will participate in the fishing competition tomorrow."
Gu Ya exited the room and turned around to meet the carefree Gu Zhou at the stairs.
"Gu Ling, it's time to sign up for the fishing competition..."
Gu Ya made a silencing gesture: "Shh."
"Ling Ling is meditating."
Hearing this, Gu Zhou was a little surprised: "Should I go?! Is she still meditating?"
"Yes, Ling Ling has been meditating in her room after dinner. Don't disturb her. You can also sign up for the fishing competition tomorrow." Gu Ya nodded.
"Good guy, is she so curly?!"
Gu Ya shrugged: "So, it's not unreasonable for Ling Ling to beat you in a daytime battle."
Hearing this, Gu Zhou frowned and retorted shamelessly: "Why win against me...it's obvious that the winner hasn't been decided yet."
Seeing that Gu Zhou was still arrogant, Gu Ya slowly told the news she had just found out: "I just asked a friend who is studying in Nanping No. 1 Middle School, do you know that this time the monthly exam of the Animal Control Department of the second grade of Nanping No. 1 Middle School is... Who came first in the exam?"
"who?"
"Zero zero."
Gu Zhou's jaw almost dropped in shock: "What?!"
"The first place in the battle placement test is also Ling Ling." Gu Ya blinked.
"Then she deliberately showed weakness before?" Gu Zhou seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and suddenly figured it out: "Gan! Gu Ling is still so insidious, cunning, treacherous and despicable!"
"Obviously you were the one who brought up the fight, so who's to blame?"
Gu Ya waved her hand: "Okay, don't be stuck here, go back and play your game."
"No! I want to meditate too!" Gu Zhou glared at the door fiercely, then turned and left.
…
The third day of National Day.
6am.
Gu Ling got up early and took Xianjiu out for a run like yesterday.
While running, Gu Ling did not let Xianjiu continue to use telekinesis, otherwise it would not have the effect of increasing his physical strength.
Gu Ling got up relatively early today. After running for half an hour, Gu Ling ran further and followed the main road to the port.
At this time, there were many boats parked in the port, and fishermen were packing their equipment on the boats and preparing to go out to sea.
Gu Ling glanced casually and saw among the many fishing boats, there were several large boats. The items they carried were not fishing gear, but some construction materials such as concrete.
Several crew members stood aside smoking and chatting while the workers were loading cargo onto the ship.
"Is the ship really going to that abandoned island?"
"That island was contracted by a big boss, and I heard that there was going to be some kind of water pet park on it..."
"Full contract? Who is so generous? Just buy a desert island?"
"I don't know what the specific situation is. Maybe the big boss has too much money and no place to spend it..."
"..."
When Gu Ling heard that a water pet park was going to be opened on the island, he thought slightly and walked over to ask the crew: "Uncles, if the water pet park opens for business, will there be passenger ships to the island in the future?"
A crew member replied: "That's for sure. Tourists will definitely be needed to open that water pet park. How do tourists get to the island? Don't they have to take a boat?"
"Then we can make more money by carrying passengers to the island in the future." Another crew member thought of this problem and said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, I hope that paradise will be completed soon..."
"It will probably be next year at the earliest."
"..."
After getting the accurate answer, Gu Ling left.
After that, while Gu Ling continued running, he couldn't help but make calculations in his mind.
After the water park is completed, maybe she can go to the island to have a look?
There are monsters on the island... Let's go and see if it's true or not.
…
When Gu Ling came back from his run and had breakfast, Gu Ya informed him that the fishing competition would start at 8 o'clock in the morning.
Gu Ling was stunned for a moment: "This morning?"
On the side, Xianjiu shrank his neck guiltily: "Miwu~"
Gu Ling meditated for too long last night, Xianjiu played games too late, and then fell asleep... and forgot to tell Gu Ling about it.
Thinking like this, Xianjiu suddenly felt that it was not his fault and straightened his body again.
It’s none of my business!
It's the beast master who has been meditating for too long!
Gu Ling rubbed Xianjiu's head and didn't care about anything. He turned to Gu Ya and asked, "Have you reported your name?"
"Yes, just go directly there today."
"..."
After breakfast, the three of them spoke to Xiang Jinli and then went out together to the location of the fishing competition.
Halfway through, Gu Zhou was very excited: "You two girls, please be careful when the time comes. You are fishing for a water-type beast. Don't let the water-type beast drag you into the water."
"..."
When he arrived at the fishing scene, Gu Ling was a little surprised when he saw the huge crowd of people in front of him: "There are so many people. Are so many people here to participate in the fishing competition?"
Gu Ya: "After all, you can eat seafood dinner for free for a year, which must have attracted many people."
Moreover, the residents of Ping'an Town have basically had the experience of going fishing at sea. It is just a fishing competition, so it is not too difficult for them.
Gu Ling and the others first received their respective competition numbers and fishing rods, and then waited to be called out to compete in batches.
Seeing that she was in the fourth batch of contestants, Gu Ling didn't want to keep waiting. Moreover, there were many water-type beasts here, and in her eyes, they were all worthless points.
So, Gu Ling turned to Gu Ya and said, "I'm going to go shopping first."
"Then remember not to miss the game time."
"no problem……"
Gu Ling came to the transparent water tanks at the back where the water-type pets were temporarily kept. He saw many children curiously reaching out to touch the water-type pets, so he asked a staff member:
"Can these water-type pets be touched?"
The staff nodded: "Okay."
These are mostly ornamental water-type pets with gentle temperaments, few attack skills learned, and not very dangerous.
After receiving permission, Gu Ling reached into the water and stroked the water beasts.
[Collection Skill: Shrinking]
[Collected skills: Water splash jump]
[Collected skills: Stare]
[Collected skills: impact]
【……】
Gu Ling took a look at the new skills included in the Ancient Beast Control Book, and found that there were basically no powerful water attack skills.
However, Gu Ling's purpose was to gain points, so he didn't care about this.
Moreover, water-type skills have no effect on Gu Ling, who does not have a contracted water-type pet beast.
When it was time to go fishing, Gu Ling reluctantly left and returned to the competition field.
Looking at the various pet beasts in the pool, Gu Ling began to have wild thoughts.
Wouldn't it be nice to contract a water-type pet and then drift on the sea?
It's just that there are relatively few large water-type pets that can carry people, and they are not easy to find.
"Gu Ling, come here quickly!"
Gu Zhou and Gu Ya both found a fishing spot. Gu Ling found the two of them and walked over with a fishing rod.
Although Gu Ling and the others did not come here to win the championship, since they have paid to sign up, they must have a good experience.
There are a lot of people signing up for the fishing competition, and the scene is always hot from morning to night...
The fishing skills of Gu Ling and the others were not as good as those of the uncles and aunts in town who had been fishing for decades. They were eliminated after only two games.
However, the three of them had a lot of fun. On the way home, Gu Zhou was still thinking about it: "This fishing competition is really fun. I wonder if it will be held again in the future..."
Gu Ya said: "I heard from the employees of the seafood hot pot restaurant that there seems to be a water park on the nearby island. The owner of the seafood hot pot restaurant received the news in advance, so he decisively came here to open a seafood hot pot restaurant, just to When the water park opens and attracts tourists, the seafood hot pot restaurant can take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune."
"So that's the case, no wonder! I was thinking, why would someone come to a small town to open a seafood hotpot restaurant?" Gu Zhou suddenly realized.
"When will that paradise be built? I wonder if it can be completed during the winter vacation. Then we can come back and play."
If we wait a few more years, several of them will have gone to college and gone their separate ways after graduation, and they probably won't be able to come back often.
Gu Ling said: "I also heard from the crew at the port this morning that a big boss spent money to build a water park. Even if it is not completed during the winter vacation, it should be completed next summer."
"That's great! Let's go to the island and have some fun then!"
"..."
When the three of them got home, they saw a familiar man's figure in the living room.
"dad?!"
Gu Ya and Gu Zhou were the first to shout in surprise.
"Second uncle, are you back?" Gu Ling blinked.
Gu Mingsheng nodded: "I just came back not long ago. Is your game over?"
Gu Zhou turned to look at Xiang Jinli, who had just come out of the kitchen with a fruit plate: "Mom, why didn't you tell my dad to come back today?"
"I only received the news a few hours ago, okay?" Xiang Jinli put down the fruit plate and said angrily.
"I just finished my mission and rushed back by car." Gu Mingsheng explained briefly, his eyes falling on Xian Jiu on Gu Ling's shoulder:
"This is the pet beast you chose."
Gu Ling touched Xianjiu's head and introduced with a smile: "It's called Xianjiu."
Before coming back, Gu Mingsheng called Gu Ling's current class teacher.
From the head teacher, Gu Mingsheng also learned that Gu Ling had ranked first in his grade in both the placement test and the September monthly test.
"Pretty good." Gu Mingsheng nodded slightly, and then took out three palm-sized iron boxes from the luggage bag, which seemed to contain something.
Seeing the three children looking over curiously, Gu Mingsheng did not show off:
"This is the reward for my mission this time, three glazed Qimu fruits, one for each of the three of you. Taking them can help you improve your mental power."
Gu Ling was also surprised when he heard the name "Liu Li Qi Mu Guo".
Gu Ling had seen this kind of fruit on a shopping app. One fruit costs 200,000 Dragon Mysterious Coins. The effect of improving mental power is much better than the strange spiritual fruit.
"Wow! Is the guild so generous? Are you giving three of these treasures at once?" Gu Zhou quickly picked a box, opened it immediately after taking it in his hand, and excitedly glanced at the Glazed Qimu Fruit inside. .
Gu Ling and Gu Ya also took a box each.
"Because it took a long time to enter the secret realm this time, and the client is from the Pet Beast Alliance. In addition, this time we are developing a new secret realm, so the harvest is quite good..." Gu Mingsheng explained briefly.
"I thought that the three of you have just become new beast masters and need this kind of spiritual fruit, so I applied to the superiors. You try to upgrade the level of the pet space to two stars as soon as possible, so that you can contract a second pet beast. .”
"Thanks dad!"
"Thank you, uncle."
After seeing that several people had finished talking about their business, Xiang Jinli invited everyone to come for dinner: "Okay, okay, is it all done? Come and have dinner."
