Chapter 270: Chapter 163: Ice Fishing Festival_2

Lin Wu and Shana each brought two fishing rods, and they were the compact type specially for ice fishing. They also brought several packs of bait powder for creating a fishing spot; just mix with water and spread into the ice hole. For this, they chose to fish in the Stillwater Zone. The bait they used was a combination of bloodworms and breadworms. Who knows what ice-stick frozen fish like to eat; might as well bring one of every kind since they were using double-hooked rod fishing. If all else failed, Lin Wu even brought a thousand bucks, to hang up and let them buy whatever they want to eat.

Shana was more familiar with rod fishing and adjusted the floats for both herself and Lin Wu, and officially started fishing.

Lin Wu was the first to get a bite, hoisting up a fish, a small silver one released into a large basin on the side. Then, a treasure chest symbol popped up above the little fish’s head, and Lin Wu touched the chest, transforming the symbol into a real treasure chest and placed it in front of himself. Shana shouted excitedly, "Treasure, treasure, treasure!"

Lin Wu turned to look at Shana, "You’re going to make me look easy with that."

Shana propped herself up with her hands and launched a kick. Rather than wasting saliva arguing with Lin Wu, it was better to just take action; at least she wouldn’t get infuriated to death.

After dodging the kick, Lin Wu opened the treasure chest and his face suddenly changed, "Damn."

"What’s wrong?" Lin Wu rarely used that word.

"Need to fish a key now," Lin Wu grumbled, "Leave it to Dawn to be cheap in such a fresh and refined way." Logically, you need a key to open a treasure chest. But Lin Wu didn’t want logic. Did you rely on logic when the chest transformed from the fish’s head?

"I got a fish," Shana turned the reel, pulling a black fish out of the ice hole. The black fish was released into the basin and detached from the hook automatically, but sadly no symbol appeared above its head. Shana puffed her cheeks in discontent, "I agree with you, Dawn is bad, even though I’m so pretty, they didn’t give me anything."

"Hello there," a voice came from behind.

Shana turned her head and saw a beautiful girl in a green suit, so she stood up and said, "Hello." She then looked at Lin Wu, who had pulled down his hood and raised his snow mask, appearing quite cold. And cold didn’t just reflect his feeling cold, it also reflected his cold demeanor.

Shana asked, "Hello, what’s up?"

The person was Fire Dance, and she said, "Here’s the thing, we have eight people, but only four homemade fishing rods. I see you have spare rods, could you sell me one?"

"You want to buy a fishing rod?" Shana glanced at Lin Wu’s back, "To sell or not to sell, that is the question." An homage to Shoe Spear.

Lin Wu nodded slightly, and Shana said, "No problem, take one. We’d better keep one as a spare."

Fire Dance was very thankful, "Thank you. By the way, I’m from Future City, Right County, South City, Starfire Base. I didn’t catch your..."

"Starfire Base?" Shana interrupted Fire Dance’s self-introduction, quite surprised, and asked, "You know Maya, right?"

"Yes, everyone in Waste City knows her. You know Maya too?" As she said this, Fire Dance thoughtfully looked towards Lin Wu. After three seconds, she approached Lin Wu, squatting in front of him, she reached out, took off his hood, and pulled down his mask.

Lin Wu said in surprise, "Fire Dance, what a coincidence? It truly is a small world after all, not enemies and yet we meet, haha."

Fire Dance forced a laugh, which showed helplessness and self-mockery. She didn’t say much, just put Lin Wu’s hood back on, pulled up his mask, and without a word stood up and walked to Shana, asking, "Could you also give me a bit of bait?"

First version, with Shana holding a fishing rod in one hand and bait in the other, "No problem at all, but I have a few questions for you. Let’s talk while we’re at it."

Second version, Shana looking at Lin Wu, "How much should we give?"

Real version, Shana said, "Of course." She took a disposable paper cup, grabbed some bloodworms and breadworms, and put them into the cup.

"Thank you." Fire Dance took the cup, keeping some distance out of fear of the worms, and asked, "I didn’t catch which base you’re from?"

Shana replied, "Supermarket Base, my name is Shana."

"I’m Fire Dance. Thank you, you’re so kind," Fire Dance glanced at Lin Wu, gave Shana a nod of her head, and turned to leave.

Shana watched Fire Dance leave and sat back in her spot. She wasn’t afraid of little bugs, and while baiting her hook, she said, "South City? We’re from North Town, Left County, North City. Perhaps we’ll meet in Future City someday."

Lin Wu took off his hood, pulled down his mask and said nonchalantly, "There’s no future in Future City, we won’t meet again."

Shana said, "That’s not true, Maya told me that everyone in Starfire Base is bigshots from the Fortress."

Lin Wu said, "They aren’t the type to compete for The Ring of the Fortress."

Shana bitter smile, "You hit a sore spot."

Lin Wu, "Oh?"

Shana, gritting her teeth, "You must be thinking: ’You’re such a loser and still dream of competing for The Ring of the Fortress.’"

Lin Wu, shocked, "You’re using a definitive tone, not a questioning one."

"Hmph. Got another one." Shana turned the spinning wheel, not only catching a small fish but also obtaining another treasure chest. This was their second chest. Then came a third, followed by a fourth.

In the span of half an hour, the two of them had caught ten treasure chests. During this time, Shana did not question nor discuss the topic of Starfire Base with Lin Wu. At first, she didn’t want to embarrass Lin Wu, after all, it was his private business, but later, Shana was too busy jumping up and down and cursing together with Lin Wu. How could this be? Ten chests and not a single key.
