Chapter 28 The Mysterious Shop

Captain Jack kept the fishing boat steady as it sailed. Guo Li could hardly feel anything as the vessel passed through the waves. He also ordered the seagull to be on alert. It perched itself on the mast of the fishing boat and kept an eye on the surroundings.

The sea was too vast, and they were getting farther and farther away from land. Only Captain Jack and the experienced sailors held no fear of the sea.

From land, the vast sea looked extremely beautiful and enchanting. However, if they were aboard a small fishing boat, riding the wind and breaking the waves. It was only natural for one to feel a trace of fear. The sea was boundless, and the waves gradually became bigger. It seemed like the ship would capsize at any time.

Captain Jack followed the coordinates given by Guo Li and sailed the fishing boat across the sea. Guo Li felt bored after watching him sail the ship, so he went back up to the deck and watched the surging waves instead.

Cai Er followed Guo Li and they both watched the waves churning. Guo Li even wanted to take out his fishing rod and try his hand at some deep-sea fishing.

Suddenly, the seagull perched on the mast cawed out a warning. Guo Li immediately switched over to the seagull’s field of vision and saw that, in the sea in front of them, a shark’s fin had surfaced and was swimming directly toward the fishing boat.

“It’s a great white shark!”

Guo Li immediately became alert and reported the coordinates of the great white shark to Captain Jack

Captain Jack did not panic. He pulled out a pipe from god knows where and started smoking. He altered the course of the fishing boat to avoid the shark, sailing toward the right.

If their small fishing boat really encountered a great white shark, which was five to six meters long, it would be in danger of being capsized. If they did not have the protection of the fishing boat and fell into the sea, they would quickly become shark food.

Captain Jack skillfully avoided the great white shark and continued to move toward the given coordinates. Just as Guo Li and Cai Er were heaving a sigh of relief, a huge whirlpool appeared in the sea and started pulling the fishing boat toward it.

Cai Er cried out in shock and immediately grabbed onto Guo Li’s arm. When the sailors saw the whirlpool, they reacted as fast as they could and lowered the sails on the fishing boat. Captain Jack shouted out orders to the sailors and, at the same time, adjusted the course of the fishing boat to avoid the whirlpool.

If the fishing boat was sucked into the huge whirlpool, it would be smashed into pieces in an instant.

At this time, not only was Guo Li not afraid, he even stared at the whirlpool in front of him. He took out his stone fishing rod and prepared to start fishing there.

Cai Er looked at Guo Li in surprise. After casting the line into the water, Guo Li said, “The greater the risk, the greater the potential reward!”

When the fishing rod entered the water, a system notification suddenly rang out in Guo Li’s mind.

(Ding! Congratulations! The host has obtained the ability, Unbreakable!)

[Note: Unbreakable. No matter how big the waves are, they cannot stop you from fishing. Your fishing rod and fishing line have received a blessing, they will never break!]

“Awesome!”

Guo Li read the system description of the ability and immediately knew that he had lucked out. He shouted inwardly excitedly. With such an ability, he would no longer have to worry about the fishing rod breaking. He could easily catch even bigger prey.

When Cai Er saw that Guo Li was fully focused on fishing, she released her hold on Guo Li’s arm and stared at the whirlpool in the sea. This was a huge crisis, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Such a huge whirlpool spun quickly on the surface of the sea. The seawater started pulling away from the surface of the water and gradually formed a water dragon in the air.

Guo Li was not in the mood to look at the grand occasion and the terrifying scene. He was fully focused on the fishing rod in his hand. This time, Guo Li had a premonition that he would be able to catch an even bigger treasure.

“I’ve hooked something!”

Guo Li’s eyes suddenly focused. The fishing rod in his hand had hooked onto a very heavy object. As the fishing boat moved, the object actually pulled Guo Li’s body down.

“What great strength!”

Guo Li’s body, which had been pulled by the object, moved in the direction of the force. From the center of the deck, he was slowly pulled toward the stern.

The fishing rod was already at its limit and seemed like it was about to bend and break. Guo Li’s entire body was being pulled forward by a tremendous force, to the point that he was almost about to fall out of the fishing boat. This stimulated Guo Li’s fighting spirit. With the help of inertia, his two feet stepped on the edge of the fishing boat, and he was now in a deadlock with the object on the fishing hook.

Cai Er was so worried that Guo Li would encounter an accident that she almost shouted. Guo Li was looking toward the sea excitedly. This was the first time he had caught such a heavy prey that could wrestle with him for such a long time!

Guo Li’s strength was absolutely insufficient to pull the object out of the water. He could only rely on the fishing boat’s movement to slowly pull it out.

As the fishing boat moved further and further away from the whirlpool, the object slowly surfaced. The moment Cai Er saw the object, she covered her mouth in shock!

As for Guo Li, he was extremely excited, because what he had fished out of the sea was actually a magnificent building that shone with golden light!

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully fished up a random special building, the mysterious shop!)

Guo Li’s eyebrows jumped up when he read that. A 90% discount?!

Immediately, the available treasures in the mysterious shop appeared in Guo Li’s mind. He could use the money in his game account to buy the items in the shop at a 90% discount.
