Morning 2.3: CH 3 THE APEX MASCOT CATCH

📖 MORNING 2.3: Fantasy Resort Escort CHAPTER 3: THE APEX MASCOT CATCH While the girls relaxed comfortably near the sun-drenched sunbeams of the promenade deck, S-Rank Surgeon Liang Huàn's task force tracking systems remained completely calm. Taking advantage of the premium resort amenities, Welt Yang and Dan Heng decided to execute a quiet, peaceful recreation protocol. They boarded a pristine white civilian fishing boat layout, gliding smoothly out onto the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the resort's premium lake sector. Sitting right at the steering wheel of the motorboat was their loyal assistant, Hatchery Penguinboo. The little tuxedo-clad bird robot happily clacked his yellow beak, using his flipper wings to keep the boat perfectly steady against the gentle ocean waves. Penguinboo: "Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-na!" (Translate: "Line casting parameters initialized! May the local water indicators grant you a massive catch data asset!") Welt Yang sat calmly at the stern, wearing his minimalist light brown jacket and glasses. He rested his hands comfortably over his fishing rod, enjoying the quiet environment. Right beside him, Dan Heng stood in his male techwear outfit. He kept a sharp, vigilant gaze pinned directly on the dark blue water surface, his hands gripping his high-spec fiber fishing pole with total tactical focus. Dan Heng: "The aquatic telemetry is quiet. Most local fish species seem to be dodging our line parameters—wait." TUG! TUG! TUG! Suddenly, Dan Heng’s fishing line violently snapped taut! The fiber rod bent into a massive, straining crescent arc as the reel screamed, releasing tension loops at high velocity. The sheer force of the underwater drag was so immense it caused the entire white boat to rock sideways against the current. Dan Heng: "System alert! I've hooked an absolute anomaly! The weight resistance is massive... it feels exactly like a prehistoric high-tier ocean shark beast!" Welt Yang: "Hold your balance, Dan Heng! I am deploying secondary physical support right now!" Welt immediately dropped his own gear and lunged forward. He wrapped his powerful arms tightly around Dan Heng's shoulders, locking his feet against the deck tiles. The two male survivors hit an intensive, hyper-exaggerated One Piece style pulling animation loop! Their faces turned bright red with straining effort, and giant cartoon sweat drops jetted horizontally straight out of their foreheads as they heaved backward in perfect unison against the heavy aquatic friction. With one final, explosive shonen-style One Piece tug, the line snapped upward, and a massive splash of sparkling white foam violently erupted into the morning sky! SPLASH! A round, metallic grey shape flew high into the air, silhouetted against the bright morning sunbeams. But as the object arched down and landed with a loud THUD straight onto the wooden floorboards of the boat deck, the two men froze completely. They hit a massive, synchronized Naruto-style blank white-eyed shock face profile! It was absolutely not a predatory ocean shark. It was a cute, chubby little 2-foot tall Sharkboo! The mischievous little robot had deliberately grabbed the fishing hook underwater to pull a prank. Now trapped on the dry wood, the round grey shark robot began to frantically flop and flap back and forth across the floor tiles, mimicking a real gasping fish in a state of hyper-exaggerated comedy slapstick layout! His digital screen eyes transformed into two spinning spiral cartoon graphics, and his little metal dorsal fin rattled loudly against the deck planks as he grunted in his native tongue. Sharkboo: "Ehn-ne! Eh-nah! Eh-nah-ne!!" (Translate: "Gasp! Flop! Flop! Anomaly caught! The joke is on you, space travelers! Look at my flawless fish impression!") Penguinboo hit a massive comedy freak-out loop behind the steering wheel. He waved his little tuxedo flippers frantically through the air, his bright yellow beak opening wide in an iconic shark-teeth shouting profile as he scolded his aquatic robot brother. Penguinboo: "Eh-nah-ne!! Ehn-ne!!" (Translate: "Waaaah! Sharkboo, you absolute idiot potato! You almost tipped our entire public monorail transport vessel over with that ridiculous stunt!") Dan Heng let out a massive, heavy sigh of relief, wiping the cartoon sweat off his brow as his system temperatures finally dropped back down to a safe baseline. He looked down at the spinning, flapping shark robot, unable to hold back a rare, quiet chuckle. Dan Heng: "Unbelievable. A literal high-spec pranking mascot. At least it didn't trigger a Public Security biometric database scan." Welt Yang adjusted his glasses, a warm, amused smile crossing his face as he tapped the wood with his foot. Welt Yang: "Well, Dan Heng, it seems Earth's local fauna parameters are full of highly creative digital surprises. Let's secure our new little friend and head back toward the promenade before the girls think we've been swallowed by an actual Ethereal beast." With the prank solved, the two gaming prodigy companions shared a relaxed nod, successfully logging a hilarious new friendship file with the local aquatic Bangboo as the boat tracked smoothly back toward the luxury resort docks, bringing Chapter 3 to a perfect, high-energy comedic close!
