Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Vest King Dad 7
Qiuhua Star's third satellite is a purely tourist destination, highly rated on interstellar ratings for its high prices, beautiful scenery, and attentive service. Half of the planet is dedicated to hotels and B&Bs, while the other half is dedicated to unique picnic areas, restaurants, and buffets.
After Zhuozhuo and the other two arrived at Starport, they took a hovercraft directly to their rented villa. 003 and 9972 quickly took over the villa's intelligent system. [My dear master, I found koi in the creek in the backyard.]
While 003 was putting his luggage away, he spoke first, and 9972 quietly found a fishing rod, a net bag, a small iron bucket, and a small shovel in the storage room.
Zhuozhuo was also interested when he saw the fancy equipment and enthusiastically invited Beatrice, "Teacher, let's go fishing?"
Beatrice froze for a moment. She'd been on edge the entire journey, but now that she'd safely reached her destination, she suddenly relaxed. She was exhausted and wanted to curl up on the soft sofa or the cozy bed to recharge, but her duty was to accompany Zhuozhuo. Beatrice forced herself to cheer up and said with a smile, "Okay."
Zhuozhuo cheered, holding up her net and running out, but was stopped by Sun Sirui. He pulled the net, which was twice as long as Zhuozhuo, away from her and placed a small goldfish scoop in Zhuozhuo's hand. "Let 3 and 9972 take the big stuff. There's a lot of grass and mud here, so watch where you walk, or you might fall."
"I know." Zhuozhuo waved the small fishing scoop and struggled out anxiously.
Sun Sirui held Zhuozhu firmly in place and fastened a green band around her arm. With a click, the band formed a loop around her wrist and slowly disappeared.
"Huh? What is this?"
Zhuozhuo asked Sun Sirui softly. She touched it with her hands curiously. She could obviously feel something, but she just couldn't see it. It was like magic.
"This is a big turtle shell. It can cover Zhuo Zhuo when you encounter danger. Nothing can hurt you. You can't take it off." Sun Sirui pulled it and made sure the protective belt was worn firmly. He threw something to Beatrice.
Beatrice took it and saw that it was also a green ribbon, and was immediately shocked.
She wasn't the clueless Zhuo Zhuo. She knew the value and usefulness of this thing. It could block attacks from weapons below interstellar orbital missiles, shield mental energy below A-level, and shield aura elements below S-level. It was the latest research achievement of the federal military, but it was expensive and the raw materials were scarce. Even her father only received one finished product.
Beatrice subconsciously thought that her identity was exposed. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe. A sweet smell floated in the air.
"Teacher Beatrice." A deep voice sounded in her ears, containing a heart-pounding threat. Beatrice's scalp tingled, and she came back to her senses from her thoughts, looking at Sun Sirui in panic.
"Teacher Beatrice, please wear it too, to avoid any danger." Sun Sirui picked up Zhuo Zhuo and said calmly, "Please prepare the ingredients for lunch. I'll accompany Zhuo Zhuo."
Beatrice was barely able to think, only nodding in agreement instinctively, driven by the danger. It wasn't until Sun Sirui, carrying Zhuozhuo, walked away that Beatrice took a sharp breath and collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Who on earth was Sun Sirui? How could he casually produce two protective belts? Remembering the fear she'd felt just now, as if she were being targeted by a predator, Beatrice was certain that Sun Sirui was no simple beta.
Didi.
There is new information from the optical brain.
Beatrice looked down and saw a notice of dismissal from Sun Sirui: "Ms. Beatrice, after a brief friendly interaction, I believe that your current condition is unsuitable for being Zhuozhuo's tutor. After you leave, I will transfer this month's salary to you. I wish you a happy life."
Beatrice was filled with questions, and instantly forgot her fear of Sun Sirui. She wanted to chase after him and fight for her own rights. Just as she took a step, a patrol robot flew in front of her and issued a warning, "Miss Beatrice, I hope we can part ways amicably."
Beatrice took a step back, staring at the patrol robot in horror. 003, who had been friendly and adorable, and had secretly been vying for the attentions of another companion system, had become aggressive, as if he considered her an enemy.
Please prepare the ingredients for lunch.
Beatrice was about to speak when she suddenly caught a whiff of the barely perceptible scent of white peaches in the air. It was her pheromones. Her face paled. Her emotions had just been so volatile that her pheromones had leaked out. Fortunately, Sun Sirui and Zhuozhuo were betas, and the pheromone concentration in the air wasn't high enough for regular robots to detect, saving them the embarrassment of having their lies exposed by a T.
But Beatrice could no longer speak for herself confidently. She carried her basket and left the villa in a daze. She knew her performance was not good. She had not yet escaped the overwhelming pursuit and was always nervous and out of shape. But hadn't they been getting along well yesterday?
Oh, no, yesterday Zhuozhuo was just being friendly. While Sun Sirui didn't show any displeasure, her politeness was so cold and distant. Now that I think about it, that politeness was just for Zhuozhuo's sake. Today on the interstellar flight, she was suspicious again, and she didn't hear Zhuozhuo call her several times. Did Sun Sirui's dissatisfaction with her reach its peak?
She was in a bad mood just now and couldn't play with Zhuozhuo. Sun Sirui finally lost his patience with her and couldn't wait to return to Chunhe Star to fire her.
well.
It's so difficult to survive in the workplace.
But Sun Sirui was a good man. Even though he was unhappy with her, he still gave her a protective gear. Beatrice no longer thought the green belt was a military protective belt, but rather something else that looked very similar. She put the green belt on her wrist, not letting Sun Sirui down.
After comforting herself, Beatrice was worried about having to find a new job, and she was reluctant to leave Zhuozhuo.
After posting a new job application on the computer, Beatrice's steps became brisk again. She secretly decided to use all her best skills in the next two days to let Zhuozhuo have a few good meals.
By the creek behind the villa, Sun Sirui sat on a small bench, holding his fishing rod motionless, muttering softly, "Zhuozhuo, move to the side. You're scaring away all my fish by being here."
Zhuozhuo squatted in a patch of lush weeds, staring intently at the water, one hand holding a small fish scoop, ready to strike. As a school of small fish swam leisurely toward her, she scooped them up. The scoop quickly dipped in and out of the water, revealing four or five tadpole-sized fish happily paddling on the nearly flat surface of the net.
[It’s about to jump out! Little Master! ]
【Hurry, hurry, put the baby in the bucket! 】
Two patrol robots were floating in the air, yelling and screaming, floating up and down in a hurry, and they were just about to extend their robotic arms to take action.
Zhuozhuo remained unmoved by the outside world. He supported his wrist with his other hand and moved his arm steadily and attentively. When he scooped up the small fish and moved it above the small iron bucket, Zhuozhuo flipped his wrist and the jumping fish fell into the bucket, swimming quickly twice before sinking to the bottom.
【Baby is awesome! 】
【The little master is a fishing expert! 】
Sun Sirui stretched his neck to look. The bustle over there formed a sharp contrast with the quietness here. He glanced at the motionless fishing float and couldn't help but say, "Zhuozhuo, you guys are too noisy. The fish are scared away."
9972 sneered secretly. What nonsense! It was just the Air Force fisherman's stubborn talk to save face.
003 said on the optical computer, "Your own skills are not good, why do you blame the little master?"
Sun Sirui didn't look at the laptop, but only at Zhuozhuo, hoping to use a sincere look to make her understand the serious interference she had caused him.
Zhuozhuo stood up and looked at the empty bucket next to Sun Sirui, then looked at his own full bucket, and asked curiously, "There are fish, why don't you catch them?"
Sun Sirui: “…”
003 and 9972 laughed. Did Sun Sirui not want to catch him? He was powerless.
Sun Sirui decided to let Zhuozhuo experience the fisherman's sorrow. He encouraged him, "Zhuozhuo, fishing and catching fish are completely different experiences. Do you want to try it too?"
"Okay, catching fish is easy." Zhuozhuo felt the loneliness of being invincible and began to make things more difficult for himself.
003 immediately wanted to get a fishing rod for Zhuozhuo, but Zhuozhuo said in a baby voice, "No need, a fishing rod won't work." If it would work, how come Sun Sirui couldn't catch a single fish?
Zhuozhuo plucked a long blade of grass and tied it to the handheld end of his fishing line. He squatted on the grass again and lowered the blade into the water. The blade was very light and floated on the surface of the water. Zhuozhuo shook it several times but couldn't get it to sink.
Sun Sirui smiled and said, "Zhuozhuo, you haven't tied the bait yet. If you tie the bait, it will sink into the water."
He glanced at the mixed bait and asked 003 to give it to Zhuozhuo.
"No." Zhuozhuo refused firmly, saying childishly, "You can't catch any fish, so tying bait is wrong."
It's well-reasoned and makes people angry.
Sun Sirui laughed angrily, "Alas, you don't understand. I won't bother with you. When we get back later, I'll give you a quick review of fishing knowledge and you'll realize you were wrong..."
"Huh?"
Zhuozhuo cried out in surprise. The blade of grass moved slightly, and there was a slight pulling sensation. Ripples formed on the surface of the water, as if something was moving. Zhuozhuo instinctively raised his fishing rod, and a large grayish-blue fish leaped out of the water, its jaws tightly gripping the blade of grass.
【fish! 】
[Hooked! Hooked!]
Zhuozhuo was startled by the fish, which was bigger than her face. She stood up and grabbed the small fishing scoop and pulled it back. The big fish lunged straight at her, its mouth wide open, as if it was about to bite her. Zhuozhuo's heart was pounding. She dropped the small fishing scoop and, swallowing her fear, lunged forward, just in time to catch the big fish.
“Ahhhh—”
The big fish struggled in his arms, its mouth tugging at Zhuozhuo's hair, its tail lashing out at his cheeks, chin, and neck. Zhuozhuo screamed in excitement and terror, but held on tighter. He turned and squatted, trying to stuff the big fish into the small iron bucket. But the bucket was too small, and he couldn't get it in after several attempts.
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and a big hand grabbed the big fish from behind, digging its fingers deep into the fish's gills, forcing the fish to open its mouth. The other hand pulled out Zhuozhuo's hair and picked up Zhuozhuo.
Sun Sirui looked Zhuo Zhuo up and down, "Are you okay?"
Zhuozhuo's eyes were bright, and he shook his head and said, "Look at the fish!"
Sun Sirui raised his hand, and the big fish, which was half his arm's length, struggled hard. He swung his arm, and a sound of breaking air was heard. The big fish seemed to be hit several times by a kitchen knife, and hung there motionless.
"What a big fish!" Zhuozhuo looked at it for a few seconds, but the novelty wore off. He complained in a baby voice, "It hurts when you hit Zhuozhuo. My clothes are wet too."
Sun Sirui tore his eyes away from the big fish and said, "I'll take you back to change clothes."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo suddenly remembered something, and came close to Sun Sirui and said seriously: "Sun Sirui, there are fish, and you can catch them. You did it wrong, so there are no fish."
“…”
Sun Sirui had a lot to say in rebuttal, but facts spoke louder than words. He jokingly said with mixed feelings: "Should I use grass leaves to fish?"
In fact, Sun Sirui felt that it was mostly luck that Zhuozhuo was able to catch the fish this time, because this fish was obviously smart. It chose Zhuozhuo as its prey and wanted to lure her into the water to check by biting the grass leaves. When it was pulled out, it just went with the flow without any struggle, otherwise a blade of grass would not be able to withstand the force of being dragged by such a big fish.
However, Sun Sirui didn't say it out loud. After changing Zhuozhuo's clothes, he took her back to the river and said, "Zhuozhuo, go fishing again. I'll watch you."
He just didn't believe that Zhuozhuo could still have such good luck after the novice protection period.
Zhuozhuo didn't know Sun Sirui's sinister intentions, so he nodded politely, "Okay."
Zhuozhuo found another slender blade of grass, tied it up, and casually threw it onto the water, then quietly waited. The floating tip of the blade became soaked with water and slowly began to sink until only a small piece remained standing on the surface.
Suddenly, the grass trembled. Sun Sirui and the two systems were so excited that they wanted to rush over to help Zhuozhuo pull the lever. But Zhuozhuo felt the lever feel different from last time and held his breath without moving. Two or three seconds later, the familiar pulling sensation came. Zhuozhuo pulled hard, and a palm-sized red carp was pulled out of the water. The grass broke as the carp struggled.
Just as the carp was about to fall into the water, a large net bag was reached out and scooped the carp into it.
"Wow!" Zhuozhuo exclaimed and rushed over to look at the red carp, "What a beautiful fish!"
Sun Sirui nodded silently. It was beautiful, but also irrational. A good fish, caught with a blade of grass. Had he never seen grass in the water? What a shame!
After Zhuozhuo's excitement subsided, Sun Sirui suggested, "Zhuozhuo, the grass leaves are not firm. Why don't you try using a fishing rod?"
"Fishing rods won't work," Zhuozhuo said with absolute confidence. This confidence came from her and Sun Sirui's practical experience.
Sun Sirui choked and, instead of trying to list the advantages of a fishing rod, said, "The fact that you caught fish with an 'incompetent' tool proves how good you are."
"Yes."
Zhuozhuo was persuaded and agreed to Sun Sirui's suggestion, asking 003 to get a children's fishing rod. Sun Sirui asked Zhuozhuo to choose the bait, and he put it on the hook for her. Pointing at the float, he said, "If this moves, it means a fish has taken the bait."
"No need to look, the fish has bitten, Zhuozhuo knows it."
Sun Sirui believed it immediately and was filled with awe. Could it be that Zhuozhuo was a genius among millions in fishing?
The first step in fishing is to throw the bait into the river. Zhuozhuo held the fishing rod and imitated Sun Sirui's movements to cast the hook. The hook got caught on the back of her clothes and almost caught her flesh. Sun Sirui was so frightened that he didn't dare let her cast it again.
"I'll throw it to you."
"don't want."
Zhuozhuo twisted her body to avoid it. She put the fishing rod on the ground, pinched the hook, looked at it, and threw it into the water with force.
"Hey!"
He exerted all his strength, but didn't get the hook right, and the hook landed about a meter away. Sun Sirui felt that the water depth at this location was not as deep as the length of the fishing line. He wanted Zhuozhuo to reel in the line a little, "Zhuo..."
Zhuozhuo suddenly raised his fishing rod and took a moment to glance at Sun Sirui, "There's a fish!"
The fishing line suddenly tightened, bending the rod into a bow. Zhuozhuo was pulled forward and fell into the water, clinging to the rod tightly. Patrol robots 003 and 9972 quickly shot out ropes, tied Zhuozhuo tightly, and pulled her out of the water.
Sun Sirui acted faster than he thought, leaping over and embracing Zhuozhuo. With one hand, he steadied the fishing rod while with the other, he reeled in and out the line. Waves broke on the surface, and a large fish swam ferociously back and forth. The two sides battled over the line, and finally, exhausted, the fish was pulled free by Sun Sirui.
The fish revealed its true form, lying in a huge heap on the grass, its length almost as long as Zhuozhuo's height. It was unbelievable that such a large fish could exist in shallow water!
Zhuozhuo jumped up and down excitedly, dancing with joy, "Big fish! What a big fish! Ahhhhhh!"
Sun Sirui also laughed, his hands still trembling, his pounding heartbeat telling of his excitement. Although he had killed countless humans and Zerg, this was his first time catching a fish with his own hands. It felt really good.
[My young master, you are the god who rules these waters! The fish god!]
003 boasted loudly.
9972 glanced at it sideways and didn't bother with this poor guy who could only live in a small world with Zhuozhuo.
Sun Sirui knocked the struggling fish unconscious with a punch and threaded a rope through its gills and mouth, impressed by Zhuozhuo's strength. He took the soaking wet Zhuozhuo back to his villa, changed his clothes, hung the fish at the villa door, and returned to the river.
"No more fishing."
The extremely powerful Burning Fish God temporarily lost interest in this unchallenging sport. She squatted in the grass, searching for small insects out of boredom.
"Okay. Then I'll fish for a while longer, you just play here and don't run out." Sun Sirui instructed gently, and naturally moved his fishing rod to the place where Zhuozhuo was fishing. After a slight hesitation, he gave up the small bench and completely replicated Zhuozhuo's posture at that time, looking at the water expectantly.
003 Taunt: [Why did you change the location? ]
Sun Sirui said calmly: "The place just now was too sunny."
【hehe. 】
Sun Sirui pretended not to see it.
The lawn in the villa's backyard had only been minimally maintained, not thoroughly disinfected, leaving it in its pristine state, teeming with all sorts of insects. Zhuozhuo's fear of insects waxed and waned, but now she felt none at all. With her bare hands, she turned over the blades and pulled out the roots, catching each insect one by one and placing them in the glass bottle 003 had prepared.
"Tongtong, are there still many bugs left to find?" Zhuozhuo touched his rumbling stomach and asked 9972 softly.
Originally, Zhuozhuo was just catching insects for fun, but 9972 suddenly said that there were twenty-nine kinds of insects in the lawn. He also showed a black and white puzzle picture, which was a puzzle made up of high-definition photos of the twenty-nine kinds of insects, and said that every time Zhuozhuo found an insect, a small square would light up.
003 learned something new, quickly wrote it down, and quickly put it into practice. He took out twenty-nine beautiful glass bottles, labeled them individually, and asked Zhuozhuo to put one insect of each species into the same bottle to see if she could use up all the bottles.
Under the double incentive, Zhuozhuo was full of energy and almost turned the lawn upside down. I was hungry at this time and realized that it was almost noon.
[Baby, we're only one item away from finding everything. Why don't you go eat first?]
Zhuozhuo looked at the puzzle pieces that were about to light up, then hugged each of the twenty-eight glass bottles containing insects. He turned to look at the seemingly dead Sun Sirui and called out, "Sun Sirui, Zhuozhuo is hungry!"
Sun Sirui responded and slowly put the club away.
Zhuozhuo ran over and looked into Sun Sirui's bucket. He was shocked to find that there was nothing but water inside. "No fish?"
She couldn't help but confirm with Sun Sirui.
"No fish," Sun Sirui said calmly. For the past two hours, he'd experienced hope, doubt, and despair. After a fierce internal struggle, he finally realized he truly didn't have the ability to fish independently. It seemed like if he wanted to experience the joy of fishing again, he'd have to follow Zhuozhuo closely.
Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he had to live a life of relying on his daughter for support, thus avoiding fifty years of detour.
Zhuozhuo vaguely sensed Sun Sirui's inner collapse and despair from his overly indifferent face, so he considerately changed the subject and showed him his results. "Look, so many bugs!"
"Um……"
【Master, here I come! 】
The virtual screen lit up before his eyes, and 003 sent a message of the highest level.
Sun Sirui took a look and closed the virtual screen. He bent down to pick up Zhuozhuo and walked quickly into the villa.
At the same time, 9972 was mentally reminding Zhuozhuo: "Baby, stay close to Sun Sirui. Don't run around, and don't be afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the sky and the sky suddenly darkened.
Before Zhuozhuo could react, Sun Sirui covered her ears and held her in his arms. She tried to open her eyes and look through the cracks, and found that the sky was full of cracks like broken glass. The next second, it suddenly shattered into countless pieces and dissipated into the air.
[Baby, the satellite's protective shield is broken, and pirates are coming.]
Immediately afterwards, countless small black dots fell from the sky, getting closer and bigger.
Sun Sirui ran quickly, his vision swaying. It took him a moment to recognize that this was the small starship he had seen at the Starport. It could navigate space, operate within planets, and carry weapons. It was expensive. To be able to deploy so many starships at once, the pirates must be very wealthy.
The starship hovered in mid-air, its cannon extended, firing downwards. The light cannon exploded silently, and even with eyes closed, the intense light was enough to cause flashes of blackness in the eyes.
