Chapter 367: Heart still as water
Zheng Feng chattered on and on before finally giving Lu Youyou a chance to speak.
"Is this your car? There doesn't seem to be anyone around. Can I fish here?"
Lu Youyou nodded: "This is my car. There used to be a man named Zhen Youwei on the right. I killed him. If you don't mind the bad luck, you can fish over there."
Zheng Feng waved his hand dismissively: "Hey, who hasn't killed a few people? What's so unlucky about it?"
As he spoke, Zheng Feng operated the watch and successfully set up his car and fishing rod.
Seeing that Lu Youyou kept staring at her car, she even said a few more words.
"I have a prop that gives me one chance to change the car's position. If you don't have the prop, you can't change the position."
“Even if you move to a faraway place, I will go with you. We have the same status, and it will be better to take care of each other if we are close by.”
Zheng Feng's car had already landed, so what could Lu Youyou say? She could only nod helplessly.
Bang.
Liu Hui got out of the car and walked straight to Zheng Feng.
"You're really shameless. I've already told you you've mistaken me for someone else, why are you still following me?"
Zheng Feng had no patience for Lu Youyou when faced with the unfriendly Liu Hui.
She sized Liu Hui up and down, then sneered, "You? It's only because I don't want to kill you. Otherwise, based on the fact that you lied to me, I could have chopped you into pieces."
Liu Hui was not one to be trifled with, and she immediately started arguing with Zheng Feng.
Lu Youyou didn't want to get involved, so she silently got into the car and then opened the mind-reading live stream page to see the emotions of the two people.
Surprisingly, they were all in agreement: anger.
Half an hour later, after the two had been arguing until they were practically dry, they realized that Lu Youyou had left.
The two men snorted at each other and simultaneously knocked on Lu Youyou's car door.
"What are you doing?" Lu Youyou said irritably, "The outside place is not suitable for you to argue, so you insist on arguing in my car, right?"
Zheng Feng smiled and said, "It was all a misunderstanding. We just made up. We only realized we were friends when we checked the accounts."
Liu Hui also said, "Yes, I thought Zheng Feng was looking for revenge on you, so I deliberately gave him the wrong location information."
Lu Youyou gave a faint "oh" to indicate that she understood.
“Well, now that we’ve opened up, how about we become friends? That way we can look out for each other if we encounter any problems in the future,” Liu Hui said.
Zheng Fengchong winked at Lu Youyou, as if asking if it was okay.
Liu Hui couldn't read Zheng Feng's mind, but she could analyze his attitude towards her from his facial expressions.
She simply showed her name tag.
"I am not a fish-man."
Lu Youyou had a feeling that she had known this all along.
Zheng Feng was surprised: "You're not a merman, so how do you know so much about mermen?"
Liu Hui: "But don't worry, I'm not a hunter. I'm just an ordinary person. I've never dreamed of choosing an identity."
Zheng Feng still has the same problem.
Liu Hui didn't answer Zheng Feng's question, but looked at Lu Youyou instead.
"Kita, you know me. I want to get some information. I just need to talk to someone for a while. I can find out anything."
Zheng Feng pouted, thinking Liu Hui was just showing off.
Lu Youyou nodded, which was considered as agreement with Liu Hui's words.
“I know you have access to information, but I don’t know if you’re a hunter.”
Zheng Feng chimed in, "That's right. We can't verify your identity. Even if we don't have any deep-seated hatred between us, it's not appropriate for us to hang out together."
Liu Hui: "Although I have no identity, I can gather information. The hunter's weapon is a harpoon, but I don't have a harpoon on me at all."
"Besides, don't hunters have a natural advantage over merfolk? You're so close to me, are you scared?"
Zheng Feng shook his head, then looked at Liu Hui expectantly, as if he regarded Lu Youyou as his boss.
"We'll see. Helping me out is not out of the question as long as it doesn't harm my interests."
That's just Lu Youyou's personality; she wouldn't dare to make promises she can't keep.
Even if a promise is made, the unpleasant aspects are stated upfront beforehand.
Although some people don't like to hear this, it makes Lu Youyou feel better when she says it.
She's happy as long as she's comfortable; she doesn't care what others think.
"Anything else?"
Liu Hui and Zheng Feng shook their heads. Lu Youyou slammed the door shut and then threw herself onto the sofa.
It's only a little past 11 a.m., there's still some time before 3 p.m.
But without any identity missions or fishing missions, she had no way to pass the time.
So Lu Youyou opened the public chat and watched the people talking, finding it somewhat amusing.
Time passed slowly, and finally it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Before Da Rui could ask, Lu Youyou spoke first.
"Da Rui, copy Zheng Feng's supplies."
"Okay."
A rich green light appeared and lingered for a long time.
The green light lasted for five minutes before the supplies copied by Da Rui appeared on the ground.
As soon as the supplies appeared, the green light suddenly disappeared without warning.
Da Rui slumped on the ground with his head hanging down, looking extremely tired.
"Da Rui, are you alright?"
Lu Youyou squatted down, poured a bottle of water into her palm, and let Da Rui drink a few sips.
Da Rui slowly drank a few sips of water before slowly raising his neck.
"I'm a little tired, Master. Could you please put me in the turtle tank?"
"What's the trouble? It's the proper thing to do."
As she spoke, Lu Youyou put Da Rui into the turtle tank. Seeing that Da Rui closed its eyes to rest, she didn't disturb it anymore.
Curious, she walked up to the supplies that Da Rui had brought. What could be so exhausting for Da Rui that he was copying?
A light green jade pendant with no patterns on it.
【Tranquil Mind*1: Wearing this will allow you to have a calm mind and think rationally in any situation. It also has a certain shielding effect on some mental skills.
Note: This item has one chance to change form.
This seems to be the key to Zheng Feng's ability to block mind-reading.
Lu Youyou turned the Heart as Still as Water jade pendant into a necklace and put it around her neck.
Then, when I opened the mind-reading broadcast page, I found that the text revealing my inner thoughts no longer appeared above my head on the screen.
Great, finally I can retain some privacy.
She rotated the screen, gradually stepping out of the frame and placing Liu Hui in the center.
This person's current status: Confused.
[This person's current thoughts: Huh? Where's Kida's voice? I can't hear him anymore.]
This person's current state: embarrassed and ashamed.
[This person's current thoughts: Damn, I forgot she can also view the page, so doesn't that mean she can see my thoughts?]
This person's current state: Extremely awkward.
[This person's current thoughts: If I think like this, will she see it too? Ugh, stop thinking like that! Maybe I should just punch myself unconscious.]
【…】
Lu Youyou smiled and decided not to pry into Liu Hui's thoughts any longer.
Just as I was about to turn off the watch, a new task was assigned.
[Mission: Catch three three-star or higher creatures within one hour.]
[Grand Prize Mission: Fish up a five-star creature within half an hour. Note: This mission is not mandatory, but there will be a penalty if you fail to complete it.]
