Ding! Congratulations, Fellow Angler, you have caught a Koi. A Small Surprise has been triggered. You have obtained the move—Secret Art: Compassionate Soul Salvation Descent!

A Small Surprise really lived up to its name. It was seriously surprising. He had only wanted to come and grind some Experience Points, but he had not expected an unexpected gain!

Hearing the system's voice, Jiang Qianhai rubbed his chin. He kept feeling that the name of this move was inexplicably familiar. It was clearly on the tip of his tongue, but he just could not say it.

After thinking for a long while, Jiang Qianhai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Instant Prison Shadow Kill Array? Zed? League of Legends!"

"I think I know whose ultimate this is!"

Secret Art: Compassionate Soul Salvation Descent: Channel for three seconds, descend upon a known allied target and provide them with a defensive barrier. Cooldown: 120s.

After reading the skill description, joy flashed across Jiang Qianhai's face.

"It really is you, waist man!"

This skill was the ultimate of a champion named Shen in the game League of Legends. Its effect was the same as the skill description, except that in the game the skill scaled with ability power, while reality definitely did not have such a concept. Jiang Qianhai also did not know how thick a shield it could provide.

However, in his view, the shield was only icing on the cake. At certain times, it might prove extremely useful, but under ordinary circumstances, its use was honestly not that great.

The most important part was still its ability to descend anywhere on the map. The skill description only mentioned an allied target, which meant a target Jiang Qianhai considered to be an ally.

As for distance restrictions, there was no mention of them at all. Considering that the skill only had a two-minute cooldown, Jiang Qianhai suspected this skill had been copied straight from the game.

It was ridiculous.

Yet somehow strangely reasonable.

Whole map = entire continent?

Or whole map = entire world?

The latter was probably more likely. After all, Douluo Continent was, at most, just one continent. The entire world was most likely the real map!

If it was not separated by some impassable barrier, then it was one map!

Nothing wrong with that!

The reason he had not remembered it was because he had basically never played this champion. And for a player like him who played by instinct, or rather a player who did not carefully read skills, remembering the name of a particular move really was not easy.

(Question: what is Skarner's ultimate called!)

"As expected of a Koi!"

Jiang Qianhai carefully removed the fishhook, then fed it one of the Pills eaten by the Bone Forging Fish. Only after helping it refine the Pill did he release it back into the water.

This was already the second time he had triggered a Small Surprise while catching a Koi, which made him have no choice but to suspect whether Koi really did represent auspiciousness and good fortune.

"Last time, I also caught a Koi in this river. It couldn't have been the same one both times, could it?"

Last time, he had not paid attention to the Koi's markings. This time, he deliberately memorized them.

If it really was the same one, even he could not say whether this fish was lucky or stupid.

But that possibility was not high. It could even be said to be minuscule.

Jiang Qianhai was only thinking about it. After all, at certain times, people always liked to fantasize about coincidences, fate, and things like that.

"Should I try out this new move?"

One second of hesitation was already respect paid to fishing.

By the second second, of course he had to try it!

Without hesitation, Jiang Qianhai directly locked onto his girlfriend and activated the skill.

The instant the skill activated, both Battle Qi and Soul Power dropped by a small amount. In the next moment, space rippled, and then Jiang Qianhai vanished from the spot with a whoosh.

When he opened his eyes again, a field of pure white entered his vision.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was trying on new clothes: [_?]

Jiang Qianhai: ( ̄ェ ̄;)

Zhu Zhuqing leaned down and closed in, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Jiang Qianhai and asked, "Why are you here?"

At first, seeing someone suddenly appear had startled her badly. At that moment, she had even wanted to kill. Only after seeing that it was Jiang Qianhai did her agitated Soul Power calm down.

Anyway, he had already touched her before. So what if he looked?

Jiang Qianhai's gaze subconsciously drifted up, and he thought that so this was what his girlfriend looked like beneath her clothes.

His eyes moved to Zhu Zhuqing's face, and Jiang Qianhai gave a light cough. "It's a new move I learned. It can let me descend beside someone I regard as an ally, and it can also provide a barrier that resists damage."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded absentmindedly. Although she had heard him, her thoughts were not on that right now. She was thinking, now that the atmosphere had reached this point, were they really not going to do something?

She immediately decided that they were going to do something!

Letting go of her arms, she kissed him directly. At the same time, one arm wrapped around Jiang Qianhai, while one hand touched his abs. The temperature in the changing room grew faintly hot.

A moment later, Zhu Zhuqing was the first to release his lips, turning her head to press against Jiang Qianhai's ear.

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze moved downward. When she saw Jiang Qianhai's tent, a sly look flashed through her eyes.

Only, her face had already flushed completely red too.

Jiang Qianhai hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly.

The understanding he had formed in his previous life had become his conscience in this one. Did that mean he did not like beauty?

Not at all. He was a man too. How could he not like it?

And it was not just him. If any man were given the chance to be reborn, he would definitely be like Jiang Qianhai and carefully protect his own reproductive system.

No reason was needed for that!

Zhu Zhuqing put on the new underwear and had Jiang Qianhai give his opinion, but when someone was beautiful, she looked good in anything. Jiang Qianhai had no choice; he gave every piece high praise.

Zhu Zhuqing did not mind. On the contrary, she cheerfully decided to buy all the underwear.

After getting dressed, Zhu Zhuqing packed up the various pieces of underwear, then looked at Jiang Qianhai.

"How are you getting out?"

"I have my ways." Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was fully dressed, Jiang Qianhai nodded. "Then keep shopping. I'm leaving first!"

Right after that, Zhu Zhuqing saw him cross his hands horizontally in front of his waist, and then Jiang Qianhai disappeared from the fitting room.

"He disappeared?"

Then Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"He really has a lot of tricks, and I've never even heard of any of them."

As expected of the man I set my sights on!

After that, she also left the fitting room.

The moment she came out, she saw Ning Rongrong with a disdainful look on her face and Xiao Wu looking like her heart was bleeding, each of them holding a new piece of clothing.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye. With Secret Art: Compassionate Soul Salvation Descent, which was like teleportation, he naturally spent these past few days fishing. After all, as long as Zhu Zhuqing was within the range of his senses, he was not afraid of her running into danger.

After accumulating over the past few days, Jiang Qianhai's experience pool had already stored up six million Experience Points. Unfortunately, he was still far from the forty million needed to level up.

And that little surprise had not appeared again either.

But this was still within expectations.

On the fifth day, Jiang Qianhai did not continue fishing, because on that day, Zhu Zhuqing came to find him.

She was already level 30!

Jiang Qianhai fell into deep thought as well.

In that case...

Should he give her a God-given Soul Ring?

Or should he catch a Hell Spirit Cat?
