Chapter 178
===================
[No False Hooks: As long as you cast your hook, no matter what bait you use, you will catch something! (Specialized species are not accepted)]
This skill has no restrictions on use, probably a binding BUFF of the accompanying class.
Lian Yun rubbed his hands, eager to try.
However, ever since the monster appeared on the beach, Yuewan City no longer allows people to go out to sea to fish, and they can't even go to the shore.
Lian Yun and other "distinguished guests" were naturally no exception. For their safety, A Yue specially arranged their residence far away from the seaside.
Lian Yun could only sigh as he looked at the skills.
Ah Yue led a few people towards their residence. On the way, Lian Yun and the people around him discussed how to make the dwarves give in. Mo Ge said leisurely, "It's a pity that I didn't have time to take out the jewelry I brought."
"You brought jewelry?" Ah Yue was a little surprised. "We rarely have caravans passing through here, and even if they do, they're only there to buy seafood, not things like this."
"My citizens have already told me that they want something other than daily necessities. You have arrived at the perfect time."
Mogo's eyes lit up: "What about the dwarves? Do they like it?"
"Well..." Ah Yue scratched his head, "They don't seem to be interested in this."
Mogo sighed and continued, "In that case, why don't we make some deals? We'll take some seafood and give you some jewelry."
The barter method made Ah Yue nod repeatedly: "Sure! How many jewels do you have?"
Mogo thought for a moment and said, "Five boxes, maybe. If it's not enough, I'll send someone back to the main city."
Lian Yun took out a box from his backpack.
The boxes landed with a thud, and Mogo opened one: "Replace everything... except this."
Mogo took out the top pearl necklace.
This is the most valuable of these jewels, so he must keep it well.
Mogo threw the necklace to Lianyun, who put it into his backpack.
Ah Yue stared at the five boxes of jewels in a daze. After coming to her senses, she quickly sent someone to put them away. "This is too much. I'm afraid our current seafood is not enough."
Ah Yue stopped talking.
If there is not enough seafood, we have to go out to sea to fish, but now A Yue doesn’t dare to let the fishermen go out to sea at will.
Lian Yun understood his thoughts and said, "If we can meet the mermaids, perhaps we can learn the origins of these never-before-seen lobsters and resolve this crisis at the same time."
"Even without this deal, you can't just stay outside the fence forever."
Many people in Yuewan City make a living by fishing. Lian Yun and others can wait, but those who rely on this for their livelihood cannot wait.
A Yue listened to Lian Yun's analysis and looked towards the sea in a daze.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the dwarf and persuade him later."
Lian Yun didn't say anything more. When they arrived at their respective locations, Lian Yun called out to Gary, who had been silent the whole time.
"Did you eat lobster just now?" Lian Yun looked at Gary with a sharp gaze.
Gary was stunned: "...You found out?"
Lian Yun said helplessly: "You are old, eating too spicy food is not good for your stomach, especially since you are not good at spicy food."
He and the dwarf elder ate together and both cried because of the spicy food, but they thought Lian Yun didn't notice.
Gary sighed, "It's all because the lobster you cooked was so fragrant. Even after a few sips of water, the aroma couldn't be dispelled."
Lian Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"If you like it, I'll make you a garlic one tomorrow. It's just as delicious."
Gary nodded repeatedly: "As long as you do it, there is nothing to say."
Lian Yun woke up the next day and found that his call crystal was ringing. After answering the call, he heard Buck's voice.
Buck said that this morning they completely completed the power grid according to the drawings left by Luo before he left, but some parts have not been matched.
Buck had already raised this issue with Luo in the forest. Without the original parts, even if the machine existed, it would still be impossible to produce. Fiona in the small town worked as a blacksmith, but she wasn't good at this kind of meticulous and surprising work.
Luo didn't have a good solution at the moment, so he could only ask Lian Yun with hope.
Lian Yun did not answer immediately, but thought of another thing.
The reason why Luo received his own orders to start developing industry was because Lian Yun received the task of industrial development, and the task was triggered by the "nut" obtained at the auction.
The missing "part" is exactly the corresponding screw.
Lian Yun opened the [Task] panel, and sure enough, just when Buck asked him this question, the industrial task had been updated.
Industry is the Second Productive Force (Part 2) (In Progress): Excellent! With the help of your friends, the adults have successfully established an electrical grid in our small town. We're just missing one crucial component. Only when it's produced will we take another important step towards the future.
[Task Reward: Screw blueprints have been distributed, please check! ]
Lian Yun didn't know what the inseparable relationship was between industry and screws, but she did not expect the system to provide the drawings so readily.
Lian Yun opened the backpack and saw the blueprint.
Lian Yun stood up immediately.
If she wasn't out of town and the teleportation array skill hadn't cooled down yet, she would have sent the blueprint back right now.
But then he thought of what Luo and Buck said.
In fact, according to their intelligence, it may not be difficult for them to draw the drawings of screws.
What they really lack is that precision.
Lian Yun paced around the room holding the blueprint.
Buck called "Hello" several times, and suddenly heard a voice of sudden realization, "Got it," and the other party hurriedly hung up the phone.
Lian Yun rushed out of the house and knocked on Lana's door. Lana heard her voice and did not delay for a moment. He opened the door with his coat half-put on.
Lian Yun grabbed his arm without saying anything and left: "Go find the dwarf elder."
Lanna quickly followed her pace: "Master, do you have a solution?"
"Look at this." Lian Yun hurriedly handed the blueprint in his hand to Lana. "They are much more interested in work than food, clothing, housing and transportation. What do you think if I give this job to them..."
Lana understood what Lian Yun meant without her having to continue.
"What if they still don't want to help us go to the deep sea area?"
"Then we won't lose out," Lian Yun calculated. "Even if they don't agree to help, it's understandable that they say it's dangerous. But screw making is a trade, and it's a demanding, skill-testing job. I believe they'll at least agree for the sake of A Yue and Yuewan City."
The two of them rushed to the dwarf elder's house without stopping, and before they knocked on the door, it opened.
A Yue came out from inside. When he saw them, the disappointment on his face had not faded away. He was slightly surprised and pulled the two of them to the side.
Ah Yue lowered her voice and said, "Why are you here again? I just tried to persuade him, but he refused to agree. I'm afraid that if you continue to talk to him, he'll get angry."
Lian Yun shook his head: "We have other things to do."
"If he's willing to accept my order for your sake?" Lian Yun unfolded the blueprint in his hand and showed it to A Yue. "I need this now, but no one in our town can make it."
A Yue paused. He couldn't understand the blueprint, but Lian Yun's sudden change of tone made him a little unsure: "Are you really not going to talk about that anymore?"
Lian Yun confirmed again and again, and then A Yue straightened his chest and knocked on the dwarf elder's door again like a brave man ready to die.
Never mind, he admitted it!
This time, Ah Yue pushed the door open without waiting for a response from inside. Lian Yun and Lan Na were standing outside the door. They only heard a roar: "Why are you back again? I've told you hundreds of times that I don't agree..."
The voice stopped abruptly as Ah Yue finished the first sentence of her explanation.
After all, he is someone who has helped Yuewan City a lot. As long as he doesn't mention going to the deep sea, the elders are still willing to listen to his requests.
The elder was silent for a few moments until A Yue finished explaining what Lian Yun had told him. After thinking about it, he chose to look at the legendary "precision drawings" that no one could make.
Lian Yun and Lan Na were finally able to step into the house.
The dwarf elder's house looks messy but inexplicably orderly because he is obsessed with work. There are many types and quantities of accessories and other things, but each thing has its own place, and each organized wooden box is thoughtfully affixed with a sticky note.
The elder noticed their gazes and suddenly explained, "My wife put it up when she was alive, and I haven't touched it since."
"She softened her heart when someone, like you, proposed to go to the deep sea a few years ago." The elder's eyes dimmed. "Before they reached the deep sea, the ship sank. Those people returned, but she didn't..."
The elder paused, as if not wanting to recall these things. He glanced at the two of them and said, "The mermaids have always hated you humans. That was a curse cast by the mermaid leader! It's more than just a casual remark. You think you can break the curse with a ship built by us dwarves? That's naive."
"My wife has already paid the price for the arrogance of the human race. I will not let more people take such unnecessary risks and lose their lives in vain."
After hearing his words, Lian Yun understood his determination.
He would not agree to them.
After realizing this, Lian Yun held Lana down and decided not to mention going to the deep sea again.
This incident had such a great impact on him that it was rare that he did not bear grudge against the human race. There was no need for them to repeatedly bring up his sad story.
Lian Yun handed the drawing to the elder, took out the nut from his backpack, and briefly explained the relationship and uses of the two.
The elder spread the drawing on the workbench, holding the nut in one hand and flattening the drawing with the other.
He looked at the thing in his hand, then at the drawing, looking back and forth between the two, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
