16: Chapter 16 Catching a School of Yellow Croakers: No Emotions?

Captain Qin Hao was stunned for a moment, then laughed He chuckled to himself: "Meng Yao, you really are my soulmate. Truly, only Meng Yao understands me."

Rao Shuqing was also full of admiration. Lin Mengyao's talent was simply too overpowered; once she made contact with small animals, she could control almost the entire area.

Although her own Prevision was also very powerful, allowing her to sense potential dangers ahead and locate treasure chests, its brilliance was overshadowed by Lin Mengyao's talent.

Their group could completely follow Lin Mengyao's lead.

Immediately, the seven of them followed the lead of the yellow croaker and headed in one direction.

The class beauty, Leng Shi, sat gracefully on the edge of the boat, the epitome of a cold and aloof beauty.

Her hand brushed lightly and casually over the surface of the sea.

Following that, a scene appeared that made everyone's eyes widen: the seawater she touched gradually frosted over, and then froze directly into a block of ice!

Zhao Zihan and the others were completely dumbfounded—this talent was just too strong!

"My heavens, if she freezes the path ahead of us, wouldn't we be trapped here?" Zhao Zihan exclaimed in shock.

Lu Shuang was also filled with admiration: "Leng Shi, your talent is truly too strong."

They had originally thought Leng Shi was only suited for logistics, freezing food, or making iced cola to drink.

They hadn't expected her to be this impressive.

Kong Linger also chimed in: "If you were fighting against an enemy, couldn't you freeze them solid? Shi Shi is well-suited for combat."

Prompted by Kong Linger, Captain Qin Hao blurted out: "Wouldn't that be like Zhen Ji, freezing herself and launching forward to knock over enemies?"

"Hahaha, Captain Qin Hao, you're truly a genius, that's just too funny." Zhao Zihan covered her face, laughing.

Rao Shuqing was also left speechless, thinking, 'You really have a way with words.'

Leng Shi looked at Captain Qin Hao coldly with a face full of dark lines; she actually played as Zhen Ji and understood exactly what Captain Qin Hao meant.

She said coldly: "Captain, if you make fun of me again, I'll freeze you and throw you into the sea."

Captain Qin Hao was naturally unafraid; with Tenfold Amplification on his side, he was unbothered and could shatter the ice with a single punch.

He felt that, in the future, he must use loving influence to conquer this ice-cold goddess!

Captain Qin Hao said with great interest: "A prickly rose? I like it."

He had developed a desire to conquer her.

Leng Shi suddenly felt a lingering fear; she felt she had said the wrong thing. She had been joking, but if Captain Qin Hao took it seriously, she would be truly done for.

If he didn't take it seriously, he would surely make things difficult for her.

Captain Qin Hao was the captain, after all; what if he kicked her off the Spaceship?

Leng Shi quickly apologized: "Captain, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing. My apologies."

Captain Qin Hao waved his hand; he was not so petty as to hold a grudge against a woman.

"Come over and massage my shoulders, and I'll forgive you."

...

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Shuang and the others gasped. Perhaps only Captain Qin Hao, the captain, would dare to speak to Leng Shi like that.

Zhao Zihan also transformed into an Onlooker, clicking her tongue in wonder. This Leng Shi was usually cold and unapproachable. Plus, she was the class monitor, and all the girls were a bit afraid of her.

Furthermore, it was said that Leng Shi's family was a massive conglomerate that had transitioned from the underworld to legitimate business, holding a position of great status in Jinling.

Although Leng Shi never bullied others with her status and never mentioned her prominent background, everyone was still somewhat wary of her.

Leng Shi gritted her teeth. Bad Captain Qin Hao! To dare make her give him a massage—it made her so angry!

However, constrained by reality, she had no choice but to obey.

Then, Leng Shi walked over to massage Captain Qin Hao's shoulders.

"Not enough strength, use more force." Captain Qin Hao began to order her around.

Leng Shi could only follow Captain Qin Hao's demands and use more force, being bossed around by him.

At this moment, Captain Qin Hao moved slightly.

He muttered to himself: "Hmm? Have we arrived?"

Captain Qin Hao saw that the yellow croaker had stopped.

Lin Mengyao also nodded and said: "Yes, we've arrived at the yellow croaker school's location."

"It's right beneath our boat."

Immediately, everyone saw that about 40 meters below the boat, on the sandy mud bottom, there was a dense school of yellow croakers moving along the floor.

"Wow, so many fish!"

Rao Shuqing and the others were overjoyed. Rather than relying on them to catch fish, it was better to catch them themselves!

At this time, Lin Mengyao said to Captain Qin Hao: "Captain, this kind of scene might be hard for the yellow croaker to accept. I'll put it on the boat to raise for now, and release it somewhere else later."

Rao Shuqing sighed: "What a kind child. She is worthy of being my good student."

Captain Qin Hao nodded, expressing his full agreement. Lin Mengyao really was a treasure!

Afterward, Captain Qin Hao thought of a plan, a strategy to catch most of the yellow croakers.

He said to Leng Shi: "Can you swim? Come down with me to catch the fish."

Leng Shi nodded: "I can, and I'm quite good at it."

Captain Qin Hao nodded; that was settled.

He directly grabbed Leng Shi's small hand and dove into the water with her.

With the increase in his physical functions, Captain Qin Hao's lung capacity had been greatly enhanced. In the Blue Star, even a diving champion would be left in the dust.

And after Leng Shi took the constitution strengthening fluid, she must have been strengthened as well. His choice to Copy the constitution strengthening fluid had been correct.

Leng Shi was somewhat resistant; how could this captain hold her hand? However, she was helpless and chose to remain silent. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't go too far.

Captain Qin Hao said to Leng Shi: "Can you freeze the area of water where the yellow croakers are? Let's see if we can catch them all in one net."

Leng Shi said: "I can try."

Leng Shi used both hands and began to activate her talent. A bone-chilling cold began to permeate, spreading at an extremely fast speed, gradually surrounding the school of fish, which spanned forty to fifty meters.

Then, the two streams of cold energy quickly closed in, surrounding them.

Instantly, wherever the cold reached, it froze rapidly. The yellow croakers were almost entirely trapped, spinning around in panic inside the ice layer.

Seeing this situation, Captain Qin Hao was overjoyed. He was very happy; this school of fish, spanning forty or fifty meters, probably contained tens of thousands of small yellow croakers!

He couldn't help but kiss Leng Shi on her beautiful face.

"Hahaha, Shi Shi, you are truly amazing! We've struck it rich! We caught so many fish."

Leng Shi was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. Forget it, a kiss is just a kiss.

Captain Qin Hao saw that Leng Shi showed no reaction. Why was she so emotionless? Was she dissatisfied with his reward?

He directly gave Leng Shi's perky buttocks a slap. That should satisfy her, right?

"Slap!"

Instantly, Leng Shi felt a burning pain in her bottom and was overcome with shame and anger.

She said: "Captain, why did you hit me? You're bullying me!"

Never before had she suffered such a grievance.

Captain Qin Hao laughed: "Shi Shi, this is a reward for you."

"You, you, how could you be like this? If you hit me again, I'll cry for you to see!" Leng Shi said angrily; she was truly at her wit's end.

Captain Qin Hao scratched his head in embarrassment, looking at the soaking-wet beauty Leng Shi. After all, she was a great contributor; he shouldn't bully her.

After a long while, Leng Shi said to Captain Qin Hao: "Captain, I'm going back to rest."

She was also a bit tired; using so much of her talent consumed a lot of energy.

Moreover, she didn't dare to be alone with Captain Qin Hao anymore.

Captain Qin Hao also sensed this and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

As Leng Shi slowly left, Captain Qin Hao looked at the ice layer, which was slowly moving upward due to its lower density than water, and dove down to lift the ice layer, swimming toward the surface.

Rao Shuqing and the others were waiting anxiously above.

Then, they saw Leng Shi, whose expression was not very good, slowly swim up. However, they did not see Captain Qin Hao, and their hearts skipped a beat. Had an accident occurred?

Then, before they could even ask, they saw an iceberg slowly moving upward...
