Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

Lu Fan's heart pounded wildly.

Danger level question mark?!

This is the first time I've encountered someone whose level I can't scan since I got this tactical terminal!

Even Qin Yuan, who is at the S-rank, is only at the danger level of 6.

What kind of monster is this old man?!

Wang Mingyuan seemed to have noticed Lu Fan's spying. A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at him with a half-smile.

"Young friend Lu? What are you looking at?"

Lu Fan's back was instantly soaked with sweat.

It felt like being watched by a prehistoric beast.

It's even more terrifying than encountering that ghostly Leviathan in the deep sea!

We can't play dumb anymore.

A man can bend and stretch!

That old man is unfathomable; trying to outsmart him is tantamount to courting death.

Lu Fan took a deep breath and instantly dropped his nonchalant demeanor.

He took out the waterproof iron box that he always kept close to his body from his pocket, held it with both hands, and handed it over respectfully.

"Old Master Wang! To be honest!"

"This is what Brother Lingxiao entrusted to me at his last moment, risking his life!"

A look of grief appeared on Lu Fan's face, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Back then, in the abyss, when monsters besieged us... Brother Lingxiao risked his life to give us a chance to escape..."

He said, "This information concerns the future of humanity, and it must be delivered to you!"

Lu Fan's face was so sincere and earnest, there was no trace of acting.

Everyone around was stunned.

This kid... he was so arrogant and domineering just now, how come he suddenly became a different person?

Wang Mingyuan took the iron box, stroking the mottled marks on it, his expression somewhat forlorn.

"Ling Xiao... your teacher wasn't wrong about you..."

After saying that, Wang Mingyuan closed the lid, looked at Lu Fan again, and his eyes showed more appreciation.

"Since Ling Xiao entrusted this to you, it means he trusts you!"

He stood up, walked up to Lu Fan, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"From today onwards, you are an honored guest of the Wang family!"

"You are granted official resident status on East Island! In addition, a reward of 5,000 points!"

boom!

The people in the hall were in complete uproar.

Five thousand points?!

Even an A-level mutant couldn't earn this much money in half a year!

And he was even a distinguished guest of the Wang family?!

This is the kind of status that allows you to roam freely on the East Island!

On what grounds?

Just because he brought a broken box!?

Lu Fan was also a little confused.

I got a permanent position without doing anything?

Doesn't this old man suspect that he sold Ling Xiao out?

Or is the contents of this metal box so important that everything else can be ignored?

Before he could figure it out, Wang Mingyuan suddenly slipped a warm, smooth jade pendant into his hand.

"Young friend Lu, I've decided that the management of the East Island refugee slum will henceforth be entirely in your hands!"

"in addition……"

Wang Mingyuan's voice became extremely low.

"In two weeks, there will be a top-level resource trading fair on the inner island! At that time, in addition to Xihuan Mountain, powerful figures from several large survivor strongholds will also be present."

"This jade pendant is your admission ticket. If you have anything of value to offer, please feel free to bring it over."

"You might be surprised by what you discover then!"

Lu Fan held the jade pendant, feeling the patterns on it with his fingers.

A resource trade fair!?

Suddenly, the image of the pile of Dragon Extract potatoes and the Dragon Extract strawberries that were about to ripen a second time flashed through his mind.

Isn't this just perfect opportunity to send him guns, cannons, and equipment?

Let alone enhancement potions, we might even be able to get supplies, weapons, resources, and even guns!

Will the slums still be called slums then?

It's more like a refugee village!

And being able to enter the inner island is an incredible opportunity!

Lu Fan couldn't help but smile; this time it was genuine.

"Alright! Don't worry, sir!"

"I'll give your grandfather a big surprise in two weeks!"

Wang Mingyuan smiled and patted Lu Fan on the shoulder: "Looking forward to Lu Fan's performance!"

"Thank you, sir. I have matters to attend to at the slums, so I'll take my leave now!"

Lu Fan nodded quickly and disappeared in a flash.

No sooner had they left than the main entrance to the hall slammed shut.

Steward Wang dismissed the disciples in the hall, and soon only the two of them remained.

"Taiwanese!"

Wang Mingyuan sat in the armchair, crackling as he played with the two walnuts in his hands. "Can you smell that aroma?"

A bead of cold sweat broke out on Manager Wang's forehead.

He took out the fragrant handkerchief and vigorously wiped his forehead.

sizzle.

The thick layer of makeup was rubbed off, revealing not white flesh, but a patch of bluish-black skin scales.

"I can smell it, sir!"

"Not only does it have the scent of the Azure Scaled Dragon Clan, but it also carries the aura of Dragon Jade... It's on him, very faint, but I don't know where it is!"

Wang Mingyuan stopped eating the walnuts.

He couldn't help but touch the three deep blue scales on his neck.

"It seems this child is even more mysterious than we imagined! But the Azure Scaled Dragon Clan is so arrogant, how could they possibly form a contract with a human?"

"Then...should we kill him?" Steward Wang asked.

"They mustn't kill him!"

Wang Mingyuan glanced at him. "We can't let the owner of that emerald-scaled creature notice our presence! We even have to protect him! This child might be our only hope!"

Steward Wang opened his eyes wide, his pupils suddenly contracting into two vertical blue dragon pupils.

"I understand, sir! Leave everything to me!"

……

East Island, inside a refugee settlement.

The previous wooden cabin has been converted into a management meeting room.

Zhang Xiaomin, Wang Ying, Zhang Weiguo, Du Wei, and the two young people who had been promoted were all gathered here.

This is the management team of the slum.

Lu Fan didn't waste any words and tapped his fingers on the table.

"We don't have much time. A great opportunity is coming in two weeks. Until then, we must stabilize and develop this slum!"

The group sat upright, not daring to breathe too loudly.

"Uncle Zhang, Du Wei!"

Lu Fan casually tossed the points bracelet from Marseille onto the table.

"This will be our shared account from now on. The password is 952788, and there are two thousand points in it."

"hiss--"

Du Wei gasped, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

After spending so long in this slum, all he managed to accumulate through swindling and cheating was a mere thousand points.

This guy is something else, he went out for a stroll and came back with two thousand?

Zhang Weiguo's hands were trembling, holding the bracelet as if it were a hot potato: "Xiao Lu... this, this is too much..."

"Is it a lot?"

Lu Fan leaned back in his chair, his tone calm, "This is just seed money! How can we develop without money? I need you to establish a reward and punishment system to mobilize these refugees. Those who work will get rewarded, and those who slack off will be fired!"

"clear!"

Then, Lu Fan turned to look at the two young men.

"You two, later, select the strongest men from the cave!"

"Every morning I train physical fitness and kung fu with Zhang Xiaomin! The rest of the time I serve as a guard inside the cave, maintaining order in shifts 24 hours a day!"

The two young men exchanged a glance, their faces flushed with excitement: "Don't worry, Boss Lu! We guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

Lu Fan nodded and turned his gaze to Wang Ying.

"You'll be in charge of the diving team. I'll provide diving suits and underwater weapons! Xiaobai will cooperate with you to clean up the shallow-water mutated creatures! The more oil sludge in the trench, the better!"

"Yes!" Wang Ying's voice was hoarse, but her eyes were firm.

Finally, Lu Fan's gaze fell on Zhang Xiaomin.

Zhang Xiaomin felt a little insecure under his gaze, so she puffed out her chest and asked, "What do you need me to do? Are you going to lead a team to seize territory?"

Lu Fan waved his index finger.

He pulled a black dust bag from behind his back and slammed it on the table.

"Try this."

"What is this? A stab-proof vest? Or a tactical vest?"

Zhang Xiaomin excitedly unzipped the zipper.

The next second, her expression froze.

There was neither a knife nor a gun in the bag.

Instead, it was an extremely sexy... evening gown.

The deep V-neckline plunged all the way to her chest, leaving her back almost completely bare, and the skirt featured a high slit design, revealing her upper thighs with the slightest movement.

"this……"

Zhang Xiaomin held the two pieces of cloth, her face instantly turning red to the roots of her ears.

"What is this?!"

"Battle Robe!"

Lu Fan said seriously, "I'm going to the resource trade fair on the inner island in two weeks. I can't exactly bring a rough and uncouth female companion to that kind of event, can I?"

"This..." Zhang Xiaomin stammered, "There's so little fabric! I... I can't wear this out!"

She has hardly ever worn a skirt in her life, let alone clothes that barely cover her vital parts.

"I'll find a tailor from the cave to alter it for you later; this is all I have for now!"

Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, this is a high-society place; everyone's dressed impeccably. If you're not dressed like this, you won't even get in the door!"

"Can I not go?" Zhang Xiaomin asked in a low voice.

Lu Fan shook his head, stood up, and looked down at her. "There are too many people there. How can I handle it alone? You're someone I trust. If you don't help me, who will?"

After those words were spoken, Zhang Xiaomin fell silent.

She bit her lower lip, staring intently at the shameful dress, and finally nodded solemnly.

"I...I'll wear it!"

"very good!"

End of the meeting.

Everyone dispersed, each with an unprecedented level of enthusiasm on their face.

That is hope for the future!

Lu Fan stood at the entrance, watching the bustling slum, and smiled with satisfaction.

If the slums here gain momentum, that will be his biggest bargaining chip!

At that time, what reason would the four major families have to prevent him from going to the inner island?

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked towards the sea.

For the next two weeks, he had only one task: fishing!

The more supplies we have, the more confident we become.

There are other forces involved in this trade fair, and perhaps they have something he wants.

For example, high-grade sea crystals, or materials for upgrading level 3 ships.

He absolutely cannot let this great opportunity slip by!
