Chapter 5
Moral Blackmail: A Superman?
More than a day has passed since they first transmigrated, and none of them have eaten meat yet.
Now, seeing the school of fish, their eyes lit up with excitement.
"Catch the fish, catch the fish, don't let them get away!!"
Without being told, the group each used their own methods to catch the fish.
Qin Chen's ability was amazing; he simply inserted his hand into the water.
Not long after, a group of small fish began to float on the surface of the sea.
He, on the other hand, looked smug.
"Watch my 100,000 volts, isn't that awesome?"
Liu Yue glanced at him and scoffed.
"It's like the sweat from hands that haven't been washed for three hundred years was suffocated by the fish."
Qin Chen was so angry that his face turned green.
"You son of a bitch..."
Li Yi looked away.
This guy's ability seems to be related to electricity?
As for 100,000 volts... that's pure nonsense.
None of the fish were burned by the electric shock; at most, they were only temporarily stunned.
It probably only has a power of a few dozen volts.
But at this moment, his abilities can actually play a remarkable role.
Liu Yue's abilities came in handy at this time.
Under her constant manipulation, the vines gradually wove into a net.
Although it was only 30 or 40 centimeters in size, it still took a lot of her effort.
"Use this!"
She tossed the rattan net to Li Yi.
Perhaps she thought Li Yi was strong and could catch more fish with one net?
Everyone else in the team is working hard.
Jiang Ying watched the scaled fish leap onto the raft, her beautiful brows furrowed.
The fish was struggling on the raft, about to jump back into the water.
She finally made up her mind, clenched her fist, and tried to knock it unconscious.
But... the punch went astray, almost causing the raft to lose its balance.
She almost screamed, but thankfully nothing happened.
But the scaled fish had already jumped off the raft.
Jiang Ying's painting style gradually turned gray and white.
Fortunately, this scene was not seen by others, who were mostly focused on the school of fish in front of them.
Li Yi took the rattan net woven by Liu Yue and cast it down. The mesh was filled with small, silvery fish.
When they were all caught in one net, the number was far more than just dozens.
They all poured themselves onto the boat with a splash.
Because Li Yi's vehicle had been upgraded to a wooden boat, there was now extra space in the cabin.
The fish caught in the vine net were all dumped into the cabin. The scaled fish kept jumping and leaping, but they could never jump out of the cabin.
When counselor Chu Ying saw this, her eyes lit up.
"Everyone can put all the fish they catch on Li Yi's boat!!"
"Li Yi, do you have any extra wood blocks? Let's upgrade another wooden boat!"
The fish come quickly and go quickly.
After Li Yi and his team fished for about ten minutes, the fish swam away in a distant direction.
There's no need to chase them, as the two upgraded ships are already fully loaded.
On Li Yi and Jiang Ying's ship, the interior of the cabin was mostly filled with scaled fish.
There was almost nowhere left to stay.
Except for Li Yi, everyone's face showed joy.
"Wow, so many fish! We won't have to worry about food now!!"
"Yeah, we're really lucky! We never expected to run into a school of fish!"
"It's a pity we don't have a fire, otherwise we could light one and grill the fish; it would definitely taste delicious."
Liu Yue said with some regret.
Counselor Chu Ying's eyes lit up.
"Fire? I remember a few students at school drew fire-type abilities; if they help start a fire, we can grill fish!"
Upon hearing the teacher's words, the group couldn't help but reminisce about the taste of grilled fish.
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard continuously.
With the grilled fish on his mind, he was naturally eager to go home.
Soon the group returned to the survivors' gathering place.
Let's call it the Jiangda gathering place for now.
Although it is not large in scale, it is on the vast ocean.
Having such a gathering place undoubtedly gave everyone a greater chance to survive.
When Jiang Ying and her friends returned to their classroom laden with their prizes, the girls were all stunned.
"Class monitor!!! You guys are amazing! So many fish!!"
"And this ship, it feels so luxurious! I want to sleep next to the class monitor!!!"
Qin Chen's chin was practically pointing to the sky.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who says I didn't put in the effort? I caught at least half of these fish by myself today!!!"
Liu Yue mercilessly exposed his lies.
"You say it's half? Why don't you just say you caught them all?"
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts! Besides, didn't Li Yi arrest more people than you?"
Qin Chen's face flushed red.
"He...he has the internet you gave him, that doesn't count!"
Seeing that they were about to start arguing again, Jiang Ying quickly interrupted them.
"Let's deal with these fish first. As for starting a fire... I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Chu."
She directed her classmates in an orderly manner.
They scooped some seawater into the cabin and carefully arranged the freshly dead fish on the raft to dry.
We'll save the remaining live fish to grill later.
The female students in the class had been hungry all morning, and they were looking forward to the delicious grilled fish they would be eating later.
They were full of energy.
A short while later, the counselor returned.
However, she didn't look well.
She was followed by a student and some teachers.
Li Yi paused slightly in his movements.
Among these teachers, he recognized a familiar face.
The person who ate the luncheon meat alone last night seems to be one of them.
What are they here for?
One of the teachers then noticed the dried fish on the raft and his eyes lit up.
"Teacher Chu, you've really had a great harvest! These fish must weigh dozens of pounds!"
"Fish is a great food. Whether you stew it in soup or grill it, it can fully replenish the nutrients that the human body needs."
Teacher Chu Ying hesitated before beginning to explain.
"Teachers, these... were all made by the students themselves."
The middle-aged male teacher with a beer belly frowned.
He rebuked them without any politeness:
"Xiao Chu, is there something wrong with your thinking and awareness?"
"It's great that the children are catching fish, but they've caught so many, they can't possibly eat them all, can they? Sharing them would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it?"
His name is Wang Guofu, and he was the dean of students at his school before he transmigrated.
Chu Ying was, after all, just a young counselor with little experience.
She hesitated, unable to think of any rebuttal.
Just then, Director Wang Guofu rowed forward in his small boat.
He approached Li Yi with a smile.
Li Yi was sorting through the scaled fish in the hold and only glanced at him when he arrived.
"This student, I am Wang Guofu, the Dean of Students at Jiangda University."
"I heard you guys caught dozens of kilograms of fish? That's impressive! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young; you're role models for us all!"
Li Yi didn't say a word, which made Director Wang's smile falter.
He thought to himself, "Why is this kid so ungrateful?"
As the dean of the college, which student or teacher wouldn't treat him with utmost respect?
Could he be mute?
He glanced at the scaled fish, swallowed hard, but maintained his gentle smile.
"Young students, can Director Wang discuss something with you?"
"Look, the academy has done a lot of searching and rescuing survivors, so food is a bit tight. We're thinking of borrowing some of your fish to make some fish soup for everyone. What do you think?"
After all, he had been a director for many years, and he immediately assumed a moral high ground when he spoke.
It's another loan, and again, it's for the survivors.
If it were an ordinary student, how could they possibly say no?
But Li Yi was clearly no ordinary student.
"No."
Director Wang hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, and continued to nod with a smile.
"Okay, thank you then, little student."
"Wait, you won't lend it???"
