The village chief took all the players back to the shore just now.
He asked everyone to look at the small fishing boat parked on the shore: "A boat can carry up to four people. You can group into groups in advance and get on the boat directly later."
Anxi felt a little strange when she heard this. She asked: "You can choose the ship yourself? It is not assigned by you."
The village chief nodded: "Of course, you choose the boat yourself, I won't interfere."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to the shore in unison and scanned the fishing boat up and down.
There are several fishing boats parked on the shore, with varying degrees of oldness and newness. Some look like they were newly purchased, with shiny patent leather and round mast lights, while others are covered with reddish-brown rust and the masts look shaky.
The configuration of the boat is inextricably related to safety when going to sea. No one can choose that dilapidated old boat. Does the village chief mean to let them snatch the boat?
The players in the crowd who realized this began to exchange glances with each other and immediately hugged each other.
Those who are alone are afraid of being left behind and try their best to get close to those who have formed a group.
The players were in disarray.
Anxi and the four of them stood together early, discussing which fishing boat to choose.
"That boat looks new, but in fact it just received a new coat of paint. If you look closely, the part of the boat that's submerged in the water is still rusty. In my opinion, the boat on the far left is the newest one. Let's choose that one. ." Li Zihua spoke eloquently and even pushed up his glasses to show his professionalism.
Anxi scanned around the fishing boats: "I think it's better not to choose a boat that is too new. Although a new boat is safe, it may not have all the configurations on it. Looking for a boat that is neither old nor new, with average safety and configuration, should be the most suitable. Newbies like us.”
"Hmm... That makes sense." Li Zihua nodded, turned his head and continued to observe the fishing boats, "Then let me see which one is not new or old."
Chu Qingyan looked at the fishing boats on the shore in silence, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "The one in the center on the left."
Anxi looked in the direction he pointed.
The blue and white painted fishing boat has some rust on the surface of the cabin. There are many plastic baskets and buckets stacked on the deck. It is not clean but it is still neat. It fits Anxi's imagination of a fishing boat that is neither new nor old.
"Okay, let's take this one." An Qian nodded to Chu Qingyan.
Li Zihua and Bai Linya didn't have any objections either.
The four of them moved some distance closer to the ship.
"Zhang Hao! Why not come with me?!"
As soon as An Qian and others moved to a place to stand, a helpless and angry shout came from beside them.
Looking back, I saw that the couple who had been arguing in front of the store had another argument.
The man is tall and round-waisted, but he is also short and has a muscular face. Although the girl cannot be called a beauty, she has a well-proportioned figure and fair skin, and she looks like she has been carefully cared for.
"Because my brothers and I have agreed not to embarrass me!"
The man named Zhang Hao waved away the woman and grabbed his hand: "Lu Qingqing, you are so unreasonable! You go find someone else to form a team with you."
Lu Qingqing looked at the indifferent man in front of her in disbelief: "Brothers, you have just met! You are my boyfriend! Aren't you with me? What if I can't clear the dungeon?"
"Impossible." Zhang Hao waved his hand away impatiently, "This dungeon is so simple. Just catch fish. My brother and I are together just to catch more fish and make more money. You girls I don’t have enough energy to do the work and delay my work.”
Lu Qingqing turned pale, trembling her lips and said sadly: "So you abandoned me for money?"
Zhang Hao immediately straightened his face when he heard this and cursed: "What do you mean by abandoning you for money? Didn't all my money go to you?"
"You are shameless! Who has spent your money!"
Lu Qingqing collapsed completely. She screamed with tears streaming down her face: "Zhang Hao, do you have any conscience? Whether it was before or after coming to the game, I earned more than you! I paid for all the expenses!" I do all the washing and cooking! How can you have the nerve to say such things!!"
"Damn, what kind of crazy woman is this?" Zhang Hao was so frightened that he took a step back, and the so-called brother next to him immediately started laughing.
"Haha, what kind of woman did you find?"
"How dare you say that men spend women's money? Women are the ones who worship money."
"Hey... let me show you a resentful woman."
I hear men around me belittling their girlfriends. Zhang Hao was not angry, but felt supported.
He stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Qingqing to the ground, kicked her, and cursed angrily: "Get out of here! Break up!!"
Lu Qingqing sank into the sand on the shore. She was kicked hard in the abdomen. She lost all her strength and screamed, covering her head.
The man named Zhang Hao kicked her but was still angry, then grabbed Lu Qingqing's collar and raised his hand to slap her. Lu Qingqing was afraid and subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.
"You bitch...!"
"Snapped!"
A clear slap sounded, but Lu Qingqing did not feel any pain on her face. Instead, red slap marks appeared on Zhang Hao's face.
An Qian raised her hand and moved her wrist, then cursed in Zhang Hao's face: "Get out of here."
The voice was clear and powerful, Zhang Hao finally reacted, his face turned blue, and his eyes burst out with anger: "How dare you hit me!"
With that said, he let go of Lu Qingqing, clenched his fist and hit An Qian.
"Pah!" An Qian slapped Zhang Hao again on the face without even thinking. Her nickname of "Slap Man" was not for nothing.
"you!!!!"
Zhang Hao was furious now. He took out a kitchen knife from his bag and waved it towards An Qian.
"Boom!" A gunshot rang out.
A bloodshot toy bullet shot out of Zhang Hao's arm, leaving a deep bloody hole in his arm.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Zhang Hao screamed.
None of the newly recognized brothers beside him came to help him, they just looked at the source of the bullet warily.
Chu Qingyan did not take back the gun. He held the gun in his hand openly and looked back at the group of men coldly.
"Tch, she looks so white, she's such a sissy."
When the men saw Chu Qingyan's appearance, they were either jealous or inferior, and they laughed.
"You...!" Bai Linya naturally couldn't hear them insulting Chu Qingyan like this. She took a step forward and was about to curse back when Chu Qingyan raised her hand to stop her.
Chu Qingyan glanced at the group of men with an indifferent expression and said nothing.
For such people, saying one more word to them will make them feel dirty.
"Damn it! What are you pretending to be!"
"You still need a woman to protect you, aren't you a man?"
I don't know if Chu Qingyan's cold look poked their fragile self-esteem again. The group of men gathered together and cursed endlessly, but no one dared to step forward and really compare with Chu Qingyan.
"I'll deal with you sooner or later."
The group of men took matters into their own hands and formed a relationship with Chu Qingyan.
"Everyone, have you made your choice? Get ready to get on the boat."
The village chief stood at the end of the crowd and watched the whole process with a fake smile. He stared at the group of anxious men, the smile on his lips getting deeper, as if he was excited to see a big fish take the bait.
As soon as the village chief said this, no one paid attention to the farce on the beach, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the fishing boats on the shore.
Zhang Hao walked back to the group of men holding his arms. One of them glanced at him with disdain and cursed: "You can hurt a woman by hitting her. You are really not a man. If you don't have time to change people, you don't want to be with us." Don’t hold back, you hear me!”
"Okay, okay." Zhang Hao immediately changed his face when facing his so-called brother. He replied with a flattering smile: "I will definitely not hold you back."
On the other side, Anxi and the four of them also gathered together.
Most people are staring at the new ship on the far right. There are not too many people on their side, so they don't have to fight desperately for it.
"Okay!" Seeing everyone waiting in formation, the village chief shouted, "Everyone! Get on the boat!"
