Chapter 7: Captain Jean is amazing
Seeing the system prompt, Jams immediately decided to bring Jean along for some leisurely fishing... the Fishing Team!
[Team Formation, Current Teammates: "Klee", "Jean", Increased Fishing Rewards!]
Jams' smile became even gentler, causing Jean to feel a bit cheesy.
"Jams, you don't have to be like this. We've only known each other for two days..."
While Jean had a good impression of Jams, it was far from love at first sight.
But developing feelings over time could be considered.
"Oh, I'm sorry. We suddenly have another fishing buddy. I'm also happy about it, I definitely don't mean anything else."
Jams took Jean to the lakeside and began teaching her the correct fishing techniques step by step.
Jean had a strong learning ability, grasping everything after just one try, unlike little Klee, who always liked to try new things.
In less than a cup of tea's time, the three of them sat side by side by the Fruit Wine Lake, quietly watching the floats on the water.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
The refreshing breeze blew Jean's hair, and she turned slightly to catch a glimpse of Jams, who was fishing attentively.
Jams remained focused, sitting in a relaxed posture, exuding a faint sense of leisure from head to toe.
Being completely engrossed in fishing, Jams didn't notice Jean observing him, and even if he did, he wouldn't mind.
I, Jams, am devoted to fishing!
Jean then looked at Klee, who was sitting on Jams' other side, and noticed that the little girl was also looking around and sticking her tongue out at her.
"Giggle~"
Seeing Klee's mischievous behavior, Jean couldn't help but laugh softly.
Her laughter caught Jams' attention.
"Captain Jean, we've just started, is there something amusing?"
"I'm not laughing because of fishing. It's because of Klee... well, forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."
Jean shook her head with a smile, not mentioning her momentary distraction, and instead shifted the topic back to fishing.
"Jams, it's clear that you really enjoy fishing."
"Mm."
Jams nodded without hesitation, gazing at the float swaying with the water, and softly said, "The process of fishing brings a sense of calmness to the mood, but the moment the fish bites the hook, it breaks that tranquility. It's a wonderful feeling."
"Yeah, yeah! Klee loves fishing!" Klee cutely chimed in.
"Maybe that's why Klee is so attached to you. You bring her joy."
Jean blinked at Klee, and Klee blinked back at her.
At that remark, Jams chuckled and shook his head, "It's not me, it's fishing."
"Captain Jean, didn't you want to know what happened to Klee yesterday?"
"Are you willing to tell me now?" Jean showed curiosity.
"I don't need to say it."
Jams pointed to the fishing rod in Jean's hand, "When your heart is calm, you'll naturally understand that it wasn't me who changed Klee, but Klee changed herself through fishing."
"Tsk..."
Jean playfully rolled her eyes at Jams and teased, "You're just like those troubadour poets who enjoy riddles. I know someone like that, his name is Venti, the two of you might get along."
"Venti?"
Upon hearing that familiar name, Jams' mouth curled up slightly.
As an experienced gamer, he had certainly heard of Venti's name.
Venti wasn't just a simple bard, but a deity who walked among mortals, the Anemo Archon "Barbatos," worshipped in Mondstadt!
"I've heard of that name. He's quite famous among the bards in Mondstadt. Maybe one day I'll have the chance to have a drink with him."
"It's possible."
Jean smiled, "Venti appears in Mondstadt every now and then. As long as you're active in Mondstadt, you'll surely encounter him... Oh, the float!"
Just then, Jean's float trembled slightly.
Her expression changed, and she suddenly shouted, "Jams, I think I got a bite! What... what should I do?"
"Don't panic!"
Jams quickly approached Jean, helping her hold the fishing rod and feeling the force on it.
"It's a big fish!"
"Really!?"
Excitement flashed in Jean's eyes.
She didn't expect to have a catch so quickly on her first fishing attempt, and even she couldn't help but feel excited despite her usually calm demeanor.
"Klee, get ready to catch the fish!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Klee's face bloomed with a smile as she threw away her fishing rod and picked up a net taller than her, running towards the shore.
"Jams, I feel like it's struggling. Does the fishing line hold?"
"Don't worry, use the method I taught you earlier to exhaust the fish's energy!"
"Okay."
Jean bit her lip, her gaze gradually becoming serious as she started to wrestle with the big fish in the lake.
Splash, splash, splash!
Water splashed around.
Under the surface of the lake, a faint shadow of a fish could be seen struggling fiercely.
Klee stood by the shore, holding a fishing net and observing the movement of the fish. She shouted, "It's a super big fish! Captain Jean is amazing! Keep going, keep going!"
"Rise!"
A faint green light shimmered in Jean's eyes as a gust of wind swirled around her. Her hair danced wildly, making a rustling sound, like a queen in the midst of a storm.
"Oh my, Captain Jean, your Anemo vision is going wild. Don't imitate Klee!"
Jams almost got blown away by the sudden gust of wind and quickly warned her.
But Jean paid no attention to Jams' voice, fully dedicated to the fishing endeavor. An excited smile appeared on her graceful face, as if she was ignited with passion.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Just then, a nearly one-meter-long fish was swept out of the water by the strong wind, drawing a golden arc in the air.
"Heave-ho!"
Quick and nimble, Klee directly caught the descending big fish with her net, without even a slight tremor in her hands.
"It's caught! Jams, Klee, I did it!"
Jean looked at the flapping golden-scaled fish in the net, smiling radiantly like blooming flowers, instantly overshadowing the surrounding scenery.
"Congratulations, well done."
Jams also smiled, grinning like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
