Video Games: Starting From Resident Evil

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Fish Bombing



Next to the river, there was also standing a huge stone. Aiden simply leaned against the stone, took out the bait given to him by the twin sisters, hung it on the fishhook and swung it out.

Honestly speaking, he was not good at fishing. The little fishing knowledge he had was learned from short videos, but his luck was not bad, the fishhook had not been down long when a fish bit the hook. Only, when he pulled it up, the hook was empty, there was nothing on it.

"I'm still lacking experience. Or rather, too hasty."

Not having caught a fish, Aiden was not discouraged. Originally, he had little experience, so a failure was just a failure.

Besides, fishing was not something easy. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many fishermen ending up empty-handed.

Re-hooking the bait, Aiden again swung the fishhook out, then sat cross-legged on the ground, prepared for a long battle.

Only, after waiting for a long time, the bobber did not move at all. But this time, his mindset was much calmer. He was not anxious, holding his chin with one hand, concentrating intently on the bobber floating on the surface of the water.

While waiting for a fish to bite, the sound of footsteps rang out behind him. The footsteps were heavy, naturally, it was an android, most likely Yakor had come, so he did not turn his head.

However, worried that Yakor might make too much noise and scare the fish away, Aiden tilted his head and made a hush gesture. But since his attention was still on the bobber, he did not notice that the person coming was not Yakor, but a stranger, a young android girl.

The unfamiliar android girl saw Aiden's hush gesture and tilted her head slightly in confusion, but seeing how serious Aiden was, she thought for a moment, then gave up the idea of greeting, merely walked forward a few steps and stood behind Aiden, observing at close range.

At this moment, the bobber finally moved, suddenly sinking down with a strong force.

Aiden instantly became excited, but this time he was much more cautious. He did not rush to pull it up, instead tightly gripped the fishing rod and slowly reeled in the line.

And following his movement, the android girl behind him also became nervous, silently mouthing the words "good luck."

However, whether it was because the fish was too big or the fishing line had quality issues, just as the fish head surfaced, and Aiden was about to use one push to pull the fish up, there was a snap, the fishing line actually broke.

Watching the fish flip its tail and dive back into the water and disappear, Aiden felt a little broken, and stood up somewhat angrily.

At this moment, hearty laughter rang out behind him. This made Aiden even more upset, he felt like he had lost face in front of Yakor. He was just thinking whether he should toss a grenade into the water to blow up the fish when he suddenly realized, the laughter sounded a bit off.

Yakor was always dressed like a lady, with gentle and refined behavior. Even when she was angry, she never matched that kind of image. And whenever she laughed, it was either a silent chuckle or a pleasant sound like wind chimes, never such hearty laughter.

So, the person behind him was not Yakor.

Realizing this, Aiden no longer cared about the fish, hurriedly turned around to see who was behind him.

As a result, at a glance, he was stunned. Behind him stood a stranger, a young android girl wearing a three-piece swimsuit.

Of course, strictly speaking, she wasn't completely a stranger, he had seen her before. She was the one he had mentioned to the twin sisters before, the one who sold fish on the street every day. It was just that she used to wear windproof coats and scarves to guard against sandstorms, so seeing her now in a three-piece swimsuit, he almost didn't recognize her for a moment.

Seeing Aiden turn around and stand there dumbfounded, the swimsuit android girl, though slightly embarrassed, didn't cover herself. After all, her clothes were left farther away from the river, and even if she wanted to put them on now, it was too late.

"We meet again, huh. Haha, judging by your expression, you must be very surprised by my outfit, right?" The swimsuit android girl tugged the scarf around her neck, barely covering her almost-spilling chest, then continued, "This is called a swimsuit. I heard humans wear this to the seaside. Not only is it convenient for movement, but it also helps regulate body temperature. Mm, a great invention."

Aiden complained inwardly, 'it was a great invention, but completely different from how you described it!'

However, he couldn't be bothered to explain this misunderstanding to an android. After seeing the identical fishing rod in her hand, he asked, "The fish you sold to me before, were they caught here?"

"No. Before, it was at another place. Later, the fish there were all caught by me, so I moved here." The swimsuit android girl slightly lifted her head, expression looking very proud.

"You're really amazing," Aiden praised. That was the truth, managing to fish out an entire area was already beyond amazing.

"Of course," the swimsuit girl became even more proud.

Then she walked to the riverbank, skillfully hooked bait onto the fishhook and cast it into the water.

"Let me teach you what fishing really is."

Seeing her practiced movements, Aiden couldn't help sighing again, then stood beside her, observing how she fished.

"Fishing requires not only skill, but also patience. Just now you were too impatient. Let me demonstrate it to you later."

Seeing Aiden with a humbly-learning appearance, the swimsuit android girl's vanity inflated, and she generously said.

Aiden nodded vigorously, though deep down he felt inexplicably doubtful.

"Oh, right, what did you end up doing with those fish you bought before?" After a while, still no fish had bitten, and feeling bored, the android girl suddenly asked.

"Of course, I ate them. What else? Raise them? Besides, the fish you sold me were either dead or half-dead. Even if I wanted to raise them, I couldn't." Aiden complained.

"Haha, probably due to environmental reasons. Haven't you heard that fish can't live without water?" Hearing Aiden's words, the swimsuit girl laughed and then explained.

Aiden felt it made sense and didn't pursue the topic, instead asked, "Can I ask your name? We've done business for so long, we should count as acquaintances, right?"

"Kaine." The swimsuit android girl pointed to herself.

"You?" she asked back.

"Aiden." Aiden gave his name, then felt that the name Kaine sounded a bit familiar. Thinking carefully, he remembered.

'So it's her, the bunker commander White's best friend,' Aiden thought.

In the game, there really was such a character named Kaine. She was a close friend of then human military's high-ranking officer, the bunker's commander White. She had a bold personality and liked to study human culture, though she didn't have much screen time.

She came to the resistance camp not only to collect more human relics but also to study android emotions. In the game, she even specially observed emotional behaviors between 2B and 9S.

Still, even though he knew she liked studying human behavior, going as far as wearing a swimsuit to fish was really a bit surprising.

But speaking of it, she really was a feast for the eyes. She had a great figure. Aiden thought to himself as he glanced a few more times. 'Mm, definitely nice!'

As a human military's artificial human, and also once having been a human military high-ranking official, Kaine naturally was not an ordinary machine body. Regarding Aiden's sneaky peeking behavior, she of course had noticed.

However, she didn't say anything. Although wearing so little made her feel somewhat shy, after all, this could also count as clothing, and clothing is worn for others to see.

Of course, the most important point was that she was not aware of the swimsuit's true purpose and its attraction to mature human males. If she knew… well, if she knew, with her personality, it would probably activate even more of her research desire.

After all, the current her had already started researching the emotional issues of artificial humans.

Just like that, one quietly fishing, one quietly slacking off, time passed very quickly.

Soon, the bobber in the water had some movement.

"Hey, from this feeling, it must be a big fish, I can feel its strength!" Feeling the force coming from the fishing rod, Kaine shouted out excitedly, then slowly reeled in the fishing line, preparing to display her fishing technique in front of Aiden.

Only, she clearly was not a qualified fishing person. She seemed to have forgotten the words she just said to Aiden about needing patience. After reeling in half of the line, she lost her patience, began forcefully pulling the fishing rod upward, and even said aloud, "Come up for me."

The result was the same as Aiden's. The moment the fish just left the water, the fishing line snapped, and she herself also, due to the force, fell on her butt to the ground.

This scene made Aiden's mouth corner twitch. Besides being speechless at her technique, he also sighed that Kaine's figure was indeed quite good. That was what you call "surging waves," not only in the chest area, but also her very springy butt...

"Damn it, too damn much, made me lose face in front of others, looks like I have to use something ruthless."

Kaine sat up from the ground, cursing as she spoke, while opening a waist pouch tied to her thigh, taking out a grenade from inside.

In Aiden's wide-eyed expression, Kaine used her teeth to pull out the grenade's pin, and threw it into the water.

BOOM!

Sky-filled water splashes were blasted up.

When the splashes fell, over a dozen fish were floating belly-up on the surface of the water.

"I now finally know how you fished out all the fish over there, and also know why the fish you sold were either dead or half-dead," Aiden murmured.

'Goodness, if you can't catch fish then you use grenades to bomb them, no matter how many fish there are, they can't withstand being ravaged like this.'

(T/N: Children, do not try these stunts from home. This action you saw was performed by a trained professional. DO NOT attempt recreate them.)

"This is the technique you planned to teach me? I don't need to learn this at all," Aiden mocked coldly from the side.

To be honest, when she first saw those fish, Kaine was a little excited, after all, it was a big harvest. But after hearing Aiden's words, she felt a bit unable to keep face.

"What do you understand? This is called flexibility. Do you know what flexibility is? It means not following the rules." Kaine loudly explained.

But what responded to her was only a cold laugh, "Hehe."

Kaine pretended not to hear, and went down into the water on her own, tossing those belly-up fish onto the shore.

This time she was truly using the swimsuit correctly.

"Hahaha, all are top-quality goods! Ah, there's actually another bamboo clip fish, my luck is really good."

Kaine squatted on the ground checking this time's harvest, then she grabbed a fish and held it up in front of Aiden.

"Look, I came specifically for this one this time."

"This fish has something special?" Aiden took a glance, felt it looked familiar. A few days ago he seemed to have eaten it, just that it was a bit small, only palm-sized.

"It's very special. The oil of this kind of fish contains a special enzyme. Reportedly it's harmful to artificial humans' transmission nerves. But I only heard that, I've never eaten it… eh? What's that expression of yours mean? Wait, what are you trying to do?" Kaine noticed Aiden's expression seemed to carry a hint of killing intent.

"What do I mean? What am I trying to do? You, you forgot that the fish you sold me last time also had bamboo clip fish, didn't you?" As Aiden spoke, he slapped away the bamboo clip fish Kaine was holding, then grabbed her by the neck and began shaking her hard.
