Chapter 746: Crazy Monk Fishing For A rmaid
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Fangzheng said, “This Penniless Monk needs a sturdy fish net and two sturdy tal poles.”
Old Wang was imdiately taken aback. “I can understand the fishing nets, but what are the tal poles for?”
“Master, impressive. You still need tal poles to defend yourself? Don’t worry. With that single kick alone, it was enough to scare off Brother Snake and the rest. It’s unlikely they will find trouble with you again.” Shao Chong believed that Fangzheng was buying things for self-defense purposes.
Fangzheng didn’t explain as he said, “It will be used to do sothing, but not to fight.”
Shao Chong nodded slightly, but he didn’t believe it one bit. Prior to this, he believed that Fangzheng was only an ordinary monk, but after that kick and with his purchase of fishing nets presumably to catch fish, he had already categorized Fangzheng as soone like the Flowery Monk, Lu Zhishen, in the Classical Novel, Water Margin. He thought, “This is a monk who is a mad hatter…”
Old Wang didn’t ask further and said, “I don’t have what you want in my shop, but there’s a steel welder across the street. You can get him to make you two steel bars. As for the net, I have many types. They are all over there. Pick one yourself.”
Fangzheng nodded and walked over. There were nets all over the floor, but what surprised Shao Chong and Old Wang was that Fangzheng chose the roughest rope net!
Old Wang asked with a face of embarrassnt, “Venerable One, you don’t know how to fish, right? That’s not a fish net. It’s a net used by to store goods.”
When Shao Chong heard that, he burst out in laughter. “Master, didn’t you notice? This net’s ropes are about the thickness of a finger. The holes in the net are about the size of a palm. Where are you going to fish with such huge holes?”
Fangzheng smiled. “Who said that This Penniless Monk was going to go fishing?”
Once he said that, Old Wang and Shao Chong were stunned…?If you aren’t net fishing, why are you buying a fishing net?
Fangzheng didn’t explain and imdiately made the paynt. Shao Chong asked for Old Wang to give a discount since it wasn’t really a fishing net but an old net used to haul goods. Old Wang shook his head in exasperation and gave Fangzheng a discount before selling it. Having been in business for so long, this was the first ti he had encountered such a strange custor. Fangzheng had co to a fishing accessories store to buy a net, but not for fishing! That wasn’t even important; he even bought it despite knowing that it was old…
However, Old Wang couldn’t be bothered either. Anything that earned him money was good business, regardless of what the custor bought.
Fangzheng stored away the net and headed across the street to the steel welder. The welder had a rod with a handle, and he welded the net onto the rod according to Fangzheng’s wishes. Instantly, this strange item beca a huge netted scoop for scooping up fish. However, the net was just too big… Unless one was trying to scoop up a huge marine creature like a shark, it was completely useless.
Shao Chong kept following and watching. He was responsible for bargaining, but the more he watched, the more confused he got.?What is this monk going to use this thing for?
“Master, what are you using this item for?” Shao Chong finally couldn’t curb his curiosity as he asked.
Fangzheng chuckled. “To scoop up a rmaid.”
“rmaid?” Shao Chong was taken aback before he smiled wryly. “Master, stop pulling my leg. Although Dawu has a river, it’s a freshwater river. How can there be rmaids…”
Fangzheng said, “What you might not be able to scoop up isn’t necessarily sothing This Penniless Monk can’t scoop up either.”
Shao Chong still wanted to keep asking when he heard Red Boy say, “Since my Master said that he can scoop it up, it definitely ans he can. Stop blabbering and just watch the show.”
Shao Chong rolled his eyes when he heard that. Although he didn’t verbalize it, he had co to a conclusion. Fangzheng was definitely trying to use smoke and mirrors. Ignoring the fact that there were no rmaids in this world, they would be in the sea even if they existed. Could this monk be going downstream into the sea? With this in mind, Shao Chong stopped talking and just followed behind. He wanted to see how the duo was about to catch a rmaid!
However, the more he walked, the more puzzled he beca.?Why is this monk walking back to the comrcial district?
Shao Chong’s mind was filled with questions. Just as he went over to inquire, he saw Fangzheng stop suddenly and look up at Shao Gang who was leaning against the window on the third story.
Shao Gang laughed. “Master, have you bought your fishing equipnt? Eh? This net of yours is really special.” Shao Gang was also puzzled.
Why would this monk end up buying sothing like that when he was buying a fishing net? Has this monk gone silly from being a monk? Doesn’t he have any common sense when it cos to catching fish? But even if the monk is unaware, Shao Chong should know that, right? Did this fellow just watch idly as this Master got swindled??He pondered if he should berate Shao Chong later.
Before Fangzheng could speak, Shao Chong shouted. “Brother, Master bought the net not to catch ordinary small fish, but he wants to catch a rmaid!”
“Pfft!” Shao Gang spewed out a mouthful of tea and laughed. “rmaid? Haha! Master, you must be kidding, right?”
As the two brothers shouted, the rchants around heard the commotion and either peeked their heads out or leaned against the window to watch the show. A few passers-by shot Fangzheng a glance and were imdiately attracted by Fangzheng’s clothing. After all, few people wore monk robes these days. It was also rare to see monks walking on the street. Furthermore, this monk was rather special. Ignoring his white monk robes and shiny bald head, wasn’t he a little too handso? Many chicks took a second glance, pissing off the male partners beside them! But soon, the chicks were attracted to the super huge scoop that Fangzheng was carrying. The net had a diater of a ter and was two ters long! With Fangzheng carrying it on his shoulder, it was difficult for him not to attract the attention of others.
Furthermore, Fangzheng still had an adorable kid following him. They basically attracted everyone from young to old.
However, when the crowd heard that Fangzheng was about to scoop up a rmaid, they imdiately started laughing.
“Haha, this Master sure is interesting. Ever since he ca, our street has turned rather lively. He swindled a cheat and beat up scumbags. Now, he’s catching rmaids. Tsk. I wonder what trick he will pull off next.” The female sales attendant in the clothing store from before chuckled.
Her boss was attracted once again. When he saw Fangzheng’s appearance and his employee recounting how the net was ant to scoop up a rmaid, he imdiately shook his head. “This monk sure is capable; unfortunately, he’s an idiot. Scoop up rmaids? He really can fantasize. Enough, Little Zhang, stop watching. Although he’s quite handso, his brains are lacking.”
“Oh, co on, Boss. Let watch a little while longer. I find this monk rather fun. There’s no one in our store anyway. I’ll stop watching if custors co,” Little Zhang said.
The boss shook his head. “Alright then. I’ll watch the idiot and amuse myself as well.”
Many people had similar thoughts. Although there were many people on the comrcial street, each store didn’t get much business individually. So stores were even empty… Since there were no custors, the bosses didn’t force their employees to do anything. They allowed them to watch the show and were rather humane.
As for the passers-by, so shook their heads, took a photo, and posted it on their WeChat Monts: “Encountered an idiot. He wants to use that net to scoop up rmaids. Wishing him the best of luck…”
