Flood Apocalypse: Starting with a God-Tier Fishing Rod

This bag actually contained a gun!

Eight Type 95 assault rifles, ten police pistols, and several boxes of bright yellow bullets!

"Oh my god..."

Du Wei was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, his voice trembling, "Mr. Lu... where... where did this come from?!"

On this island, possessing firearms is a capital offense!

Who, besides the defense forces, would dare touch this thing?

"Don't worry, I did some small business with the Wang family and bought it with points! As long as I don't leave this slum, I can use it however I want!"

Lu Fan waved his hand: "How can you manage so many people with just a few sticks?"

Du Wei and Zhang Weiguo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with almost overflowing awe.

To make a deal with the Wang family to buy weapons?

This must have taken a tremendous amount of face and resources!

This Lu Fan is simply a hero in a chaotic world!

Lu Fan kicked the bag. "Pick a few people who are good marksmen and obedient, register their biometric fingerprints, and start strict patrols from today!"

"clear!"

The group excitedly lifted the bags and went into the brick house.

With this group of guys, let alone the defense forces, they'd dare to mess with even the mutants!

Watching everyone's busy figures, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

The hardest part of the beginning is finally over.

With internal troubles eliminated, military strength is also guaranteed.

Next...

He looked towards the inner island, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

The real highlight will be the trade fair three days from now!

And as for Shen Qingyue, hopefully she can give herself a surprise in a few days!

……

As the people of the East Island slums get busy again.

Lu Fan quietly left the place and returned to the deserted pebble beach. He bent his finger, put it to his lips, and whistled.

Whoosh!

A white wave burst open on the surface of the nearshore waters.

Little White's pink head popped out, creating ripples on the shallows.

"Xiao Bai, you've worked hard these past few days!"

Lu Fan walked over, took out ten Dragon Essence Potatoes from his pocket, and stuffed them directly into its mouth.

Click—click—

Little White chewed with juice splashing everywhere, squinting its eyes contentedly, even the pair of dragon horns on its head seemed to shine a little brighter.

"Just eat this for now. When the trade fair starts, I'll see if I can get you some sea crystals for a proper meal!"

Lu Fan patted its wet, cold forehead, then flipped over and straddled its back.

"Let's go back to the ship!"

……

The outer sea area three kilometers away.

Lu Fan took out the amphibious ship and summoned it to the sea.

He walked up the side stairs and stepped onto the deck, when a metallic buzzing sound rushed towards him.

"Welcome home, you filthy captain!"

Xiao Ba's eight mechanical tentacles waved wildly, holding a rag in one hand, wiping Lu Fan's shoes.

Only when a checkmark appeared on the screen did he stand up and speak respectfully.

"As per your instructions, all the Longcui strawberries and potatoes in the greenhouse have been harvested and are now stored in refrigerated containers!"

"Take me to see it!"

Lu Fan nodded and walked straight to the kitchen.

I just opened the refrigerator door.

A rich, sweet aroma of strawberries and the fragrance of earth wafted through the air.

The bright red strawberries were crystal clear, and the golden potatoes were piled up like a small mountain.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Fan swept all the supplies into the time-frozen spatial ring, ensuring they would remain forever frozen in time from the moment they were taken off.

After all, these are all valuable assets at the trade fair!

Then, Lu Fan went to the terrace on the first floor again.

He found a comfortable position to sit down, summoned his god-level fishing rod, and skillfully cast it into the water.

The buoy appeared and disappeared on the crests of the undulating waves.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

Just as Lu Fan was staring at the sea surface and getting a little distracted, a faint blue light suddenly appeared underwater.

The blue light was extremely penetrating, instantly dyeing the seawater several meters around it.

"Um?"

Lu Fan's eyes narrowed, and he instantly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, lifting himself up sharply.

Whoosh!

Water splashed everywhere.

A slender black object burst out of the water, drawing a sharp straight line in the air before landing steadily in Lu Fan's hand.

That was... an umbrella?

[Fishing successful! Obtained - Sky Canopy Phase Particle Deflection Umbrella]

[Type: Hidden Item]

[Rarity: Tech-grade]

[Gained 15 Proficiency Points and 3 Spirit Points]

【当前垂钓次数：253/300、熟练值：651/1000、精神值：100/150】

[Description: A single-soldier ranged weapon that combines defense and killing, 95 centimeters in length, with a matte black finish, powered by sea crystal.]

The umbrella handle is crafted from deep-sea black gold and features an ergonomic design for an excellent feel. The tip is formed by a sharp titanium alloy prism muzzle approximately 10 centimeters long. A hexagonal transparent crystal chamber is inlaid at the top of the grip as a sea crystal filling port.

The umbrella has two core modes, which can be switched using a phase pulley on the handle.

【Form 1 - Judgment (Collapsed State): Pulling the trigger instantly draws energy from the Sea Crystal, firing a high-energy particle beam from the umbrella tip. Effective range 500 meters, capable of penetrating light armor!】

【Form Two - Sky Curtain (Expanded State): By opening the umbrella ribs, a hemispherical "Sky Curtain" force field with a diameter of 3 meters can be generated. The force field has phase deflection properties, which can deflect and redirect all physical and energy attacks.】

"A combined offensive and defensive long-range attack?"

Lu Fan's fingers traced the empty crystal chamber, his brows furrowing slightly.

This thing is good.

The particle beam with a range of 500 meters, combined with the ballistic assistance of the True Sight Eye, perfectly compensates for his weakness in long-range attacks.

Moreover, it can activate a shield when in danger, so if it were to face an S-class mutant like Qin Yuan, it would at least have a fighting chance!

But the problem is...

Do we need to use precious sea crystals for energy?

Isn't this just using money as bullets?

The food that was supposed to help the little white creature evolve is now being used as a disposable item?

That's such a waste!

It's like giving you a Ferrari, only to tell you it can only be fueled by Moutai liquor...

Lu Fan raised his umbrella and looked at the rolling waves in the distance through his True Sight Eye. He felt a little itchy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Without bullets, even a divine weapon is just a stick to burn.

Just then.

A familiar sound suddenly came from below the ship's side.

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Fan looked closely and saw Wang Ying riding Little White over.

It's been a few days.

Wang Ying sported a neat short haircut and a tight-fitting wetsuit that accentuated her powerful yet graceful figure.

She nimbly grabbed the side ladder and quickly climbed onto the deck.

"I knew Brother Lu was here!"

Wang Ying wiped the seawater off her face and strode over, her voice slightly out of breath.

"The diving team encountered some trouble while clearing that shallow reef area!"

"Hmm?" Lu Fan frowned.

Wang Ying gestured, her tone tinged with lingering fear, but mostly with excitement.

"A mutated ribbonfish, over three meters long, with teeth like a saw!"

"That beast was very fast and injured two of our brothers. Fortunately, it wasn't too big, and after we trapped it in the fishing net, we stabbed it to death with a pitchfork!"

As she spoke, she pulled something out of the waterproof bag at her waist.

"We found this in its brain when we were cleaning up its body."

She opened her palm.

A crystal, no bigger than a thumbnail, lay quietly in her palm.

Its color was dull and grayish, even darker than the previous low-grade sea crystals. It looked full of impurities, like a piece of inferior glass.

"Sea Crystal!?"

Lu Fan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the crystal.

Although the quality is very poor, at least it works!

"Well done!"

Lu Fan glanced approvingly at Wang Ying. "This stuff is very useful to me. Give each of the brothers who went into the water today two extra cans of food!"

Wang Ying grinned: "Thanks, Brother Lu!"

Lu Fan pinched the sea crystal and pressed it directly into the crystal chamber at the end of the deflecting umbrella handle.

Click.

Perfectly fitted.

The previously dim crystal chamber suddenly lit up with a faint red light, and a slight vibration came from the umbrella handle.

Charging complete.

Just as Lu Fan was about to raise his hand to test its power on the water's surface, a sudden undercurrent stirred in the sea.

A loud water explosion could even be heard not far away.

Lu Fan looked closely.

In the distance, a giant mutated ribbonfish, as big as a truck, was darting across the sea, cutting through huge waves as it hurtled towards the ship.

Wang Ying was instantly shocked upon seeing this.

"Oh no! Brother Lu, this huge mutated ribbonfish has most likely come here following the scent of this crystal!"
