Chapter 97 - 82: Newbie Protection Period, Earn Points Like Crazy - Part 2

"She doesn’t have any food left either, so she came down to fish. But she doesn’t know I secretly followed her."

Liu Danian quickly asked, "Where is she?"

"Fishing in a room on the thirteenth floor. It seems like she didn’t dare to come down."

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Weimin said, "She’s a girl, so she should be fine."

Liu Danian nodded, "She should be from our building, otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to claim to be Mr. Liang’s neighbor. Once we catch some fish, we should go confirm with Mr. Liang."

Hu Weimin nodded, "Indeed."

Liu Feifei said, "I don’t think she’s a bad person. She said she’s been living alone until now. It’s really tough."

Liu Danian and Hu Weimin were both a bit surprised. This girl has been living alone until now?

It’s really not easy. Living alone is very dangerous for girls; many victims before were girls living alone.

But soon, both of them thought that if this girl was Mr. Liang’s neighbor, it made sense.

"This girl is probably more familiar with Mr. Liang than we are. We’d better not offend her."

"Old Hu, you’re right. If she’s Mr. Liang’s neighbor, we should be respectful."

"Speaking of which, should we move up to be Mr. Liang’s neighbors?"

"Hmm... I’ve been considering this. We don’t have much usable stuff left at home. The nineteenth floor is not too high, not too low."

"Look at the water level. A few days ago, it was at the eleventh floor, now it’s already at the twelfth floor. Who knows when it will rise to the nineteenth floor."

"The key is that people in other buildings don’t know that the first unit is already safe. If they did, they would probably be eager to move here."

"By then, we won’t have a chance to choose our floor."

"Let’s move. Once we finish fishing, I’ll go back and start moving."

What Liu Danian said made Hu Weimin nod involuntarily.

"I was thinking the same. Besides the water level rising too fast, I’m also thinking about getting closer to Mr. Liang’s group for safety."

"If anyone dares to attack us, Mr. Liang is nearby; he probably wouldn’t sit idly by."

"Moreover, Mr. Liang and his team have formed a stable alliance. If we get closer, we might have a chance to join them. At least we’d be part of an organization, right?"

Liu Danian nodded, and after talking for a bit, they decided to move that night.

Liu Feifei, who was watching the fishing rod for her dad, couldn’t help but say, "Dad, are you saying that the water level has risen a whole floor in just a few days?"

"Three days. With these continuous heavy rains, in three days, it’s risen a whole floor, at least three meters deep."

"It’s terrifying."

"If this rain doesn’t stop, even the thirty-second floor won’t be high enough."

Hu Weimin and Liu Danian wore worried expressions, their eyes filled with deep concern.

If the entire building gets flooded, how will everyone survive?

Even Liu Feifei couldn’t help but panic, "Dad, Uncle Hu, if it comes to that, what do we do? Even moving to the thirty-second floor may not be safe."

"We’ll take it one step at a time. We can barely fill our stomachs now; we can’t worry about that yet," Liu Danian sighed.

However, Hu Weimin said thoughtfully, "Do you think Mr. Liang’s group has thought about this?"

"Well..." Liu Danian hesitated.

Liu Feifei immediately said, "He’s so capable, he must have thought of it. They might already have a plan. Dad, once we move under his floor, we can try to get along with them and maybe find out."

Liu Danian glanced at his daughter and said, "You seem to have a lot of faith in people outside our family."

Liu Feifei blushed, "What? I was just saying that he’s impressive. If he could defeat Liu Erlong’s group, he must have considered that the flood would submerge the building."

Just as Liu Danian was about to say something, there was a sudden splash as something moved in the water.

"Whoa, a fish is on the hook!"

Liu Danian reacted instantly, rushing to the balcony to check the line.

He was just in time to see a fish leap out of the water, being pulled up by someone.

He was slightly stunned and quickly craned his neck to look up.

He saw a hand from a higher floor grabbing the fishing line, trying to pull the fish onto the balcony.

The clumsy actions clearly belonged to a novice.

Then he heard an overjoyed girl’s voice from above.

"Haha, I caught it! I caught a fish! Woohoo... I caught a fish..."

The girl’s voice was extremely excited; it must be her first time fishing.

Liu Danian felt a bit frustrated, glancing at his fishing rod, which showed no sign of activity.

He couldn’t help but say, "Beginner’s luck."

Hu Weimin was also a bit speechless, "We’re both experienced, we better not get shown up by a little girl today."

"No way!"

Liu Danian immediately perked up; he couldn’t lose face as a seasoned fisherman.

He got serious, reeled in his line, and examined the bait, "I’ll change the bait; this one might be stale."

With that, he carefully re-baited with a piece of breadcrumb.

Hu Weimin couldn’t help but say, "Old Liu, be frugal. We don’t have much bread left."

Liu Danian nodded, seriously resuming his fishing.

Liu Feifei curiously said, "Dad, do we have any other fishing rods? I want to try too."

Hu Weimin called out, "I have one. I’ll use the net; you can use my rod, Feifei."

"Great, thanks."

Liu Danian said, "You go fish on the balcony of the smaller bedroom. We can’t disturb this fishing spot."

Liu Feifei clicked her tongue but wanted to take some bread for bait. Liu Danian stopped her.
