Chapter 622 - 622 The Sudden Appearance of an Artifact
622 The Sudden Appearance of an Artifact
The next morning, at around 8.00 am, every head of state got up and walked downstairs to the gym to exercise.
They chatted and laughed while they enjoyed the peace and leisure.
Their topics of conversation were all trivial matters, and they never mentioned business.
Just then, Wu Mo leisurely walked out of the building.
He yawned. Apparently, he had just woken up from a sweet dream.
That comfortable feeling seemed to still wrap around his body, and it made him miss his own bed.
“Everyone, how was your trip to Dreamland last night?” Wu Mo chuckled. His tone was free and easy.
“Mr. Wu, I felt like I was floating in the clouds. It was even more comfortable than being at home. What about you?” a country’s official replied.
“Sigh! How annoying! It’s as if an invisible hand pulled me out of my sweet dreams. The climate here is really suitable for sleeping.”
Wu Mo sighed. His face was full of regret.
He meant what he said. Last night, it had drizzled on Eternal Sun. They all felt like they were in a gentle cradle thanks to the peaceful atmosphere. It was so comfortable that they did not want to wake up.
However, Wu Mo had something more wonderful waiting for them.
It was already 8.00 am, so he smiled and led everyone to a big fish pond. He had not dug this pond by hand. Instead, construction workers had dug it out and filled it.
“Don’t think that Eternal Sun doesn’t have water. There’s actually an abundance of water here.
“The fishes here are also from Eternal Sun. We didn’t bring them here.”
After that, he encouraged everyone to start fishing. A national leader curiously asked, “Mr. Wu, are there plenty of fish in the pond?”
Wu Mo smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. The fish here will definitely be enough for you.”
“Mr. Wu, your words seem to carry a deeper meaning.”
The national leaders looked at each other with anticipation in their eyes.
After they chose their positions, they began to throw their lines into the water.
Not long after, one of them shouted excitedly, “Haha, I’ve caught—”
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a crisp sound, and the fish on his hook inexplicably disappeared.
“Oh, this fish is as elusive as a ghost. It clearly took the bait, but it has mysteriously escaped…”
The national leader sighed and sounded disappointed.
Wu Mo chuckled and knew very well how elusive Eternal Sun’s fish were.
If the leaders of these countries wanted to fish them up, the difficulty would be no different from climbing the ladder.
Then, they all encountered the same problem. It would seem like they had caught a fish, but at the critical moment, the fish would escape from the hook and disappear into the water.
Seeing that more than half an hour had passed, but no one had caught a fish, they could not help but show anxiety on their faces.
At this moment, Wu Mo began to move.
His movements were light and practiced. He gently threw the hook into the water and waited quietly. The fish floated for a moment, but he did not react.
Then, his fishing rod trembled again, but Wu Mo still ignored it.
“Mr. Wu, your hook is already moving. Why aren’t you taking the bait?” a national leader reminded him, but Wu Mo seemed to have fallen asleep. He didn’t move and even snored.
“Sigh, Mr. Wu actually wasted a good fish.”
The national leaders looked at each other and felt sorry for him.
However, at this moment, the surface of the water returned to normal. Wu Mo suddenly pulled up the fishing rod in his hand.
In an instant, a huge fish was forced out of the water.
It kept trembling in the air like a dragon forced out of the water.
“Oh, my God! This fish is at least three kilograms, right?” they exclaimed.
Wu Mo carefully lured the fish to the shore and placed them into the steel bucket that he had prepared beforehand.
At this moment, everyone stared at the fish and couldn’t help but gasp.
“This fish is like a demon at the bottom of the sea.”
The fish’s head wasn’t big, but its eyes were like black triangular gems, and its mouth had rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its scales were as hard as armor.
In particular, the fins had actually evolved into two blade-like scales. It was a divine creature that made people gasp in amazement.
If someone accidentally grabbed it, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. These two sharp scales were enough to cause serious damage.
“Mr. Wu, I don’t think we’ve seen this kind of fish before, right?” A national leader frowned and asked.
Wu Mo nodded slightly and started his explanation.
“This type of fish is native to Eternal Sun. It was also discovered by our Chinese infrastructure team not long ago. We call it blade fish.”
“Blade fish?” Everyone’s eyes lit up. The name of this fish sounded extremely domineering.
However, when he thought of the two scales that looked like divine blades, the origin of the name was not difficult to understand.
“Mr. Wu, how can this blade fish be so elusive? We tried but couldn’t catch it, yet you caught it so easily.”
The other national leader was clearly a little depressed.
They all felt strange. They had clearly felt the fish taking the bait, but why was it that it always managed to escape at the last moment?
As for Wu Mo, his movements were so calm as if he was fishing without a care, yet he could easily catch fish. Why was this the case?
Wu Mo smiled. “That’s because this blade fish is extremely crafty. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also extremely smart and slippery?”
Slippery?
They were stunned for a moment before they came to a realization.
It turned out that this fish was as cunning as a fox. It would escape when humans were about to succeed, but when humans ignored it, it would take the bait without any defense.
“Mr. Wu, your intelligence is indeed superior!”
One of the country’s officials was filled with emotion.
Although they returned empty-handed from this fishing trip, they had a deep understanding of this strange blade fish.
Everyone understood that there was another addition to the entertainment program on this planet.
He thought of the delicious fish meat.
At this moment, hunger was like an invisible beast, quietly wandering in their stomachs.
Wu Mo saw through the cunning of this wild beast and decided to cook the blade fish that he had just caught for everyone to enjoy.
Of course, he knew that everyone present was a national heavyweight.
Just one blade fish would not be able to satisfy everyone’s appetite, so more delicacies were also in his plan.
They returned to the luxurious neighborhood, and Wu Mo got busy in the kitchen. There was hot steam, and the aroma of the food was overflowing.
Just then, he was startled by someone shouting. “Mr. Wu, come down and see what this is!”
Without hesitation, Wu Mo immediately put down his work and walked out of the kitchen.
In a flower bed in the corner of the neighborhood, a piece of soil was dug up. It revealed the secret beneath—an ancient ring.
It was not special, but it could have been accidentally lost during the construction process.
However, this ring was covered in rust, as if it had witnessed the baptism of countless years. It was impossible to ignore.
