After enjoying the Pokémon show on the ice, Xiaozhi and his group continued deeper along the corridor of the aquarium and walked down a second-floor underground staircase.
This is the back door of the aquarium. The door is open and leads directly to the coastal beach behind, with the sea breeze blowing in your face.
Even in the center of the exit hall, a few people saw a golden statue of Magikarp, shining brightly.
"Hey, isn't Magikarp red?"
Yulijia pulled Xitron's sleeve and couldn't help but ask.
"It seems that the heterochromatic Magikarp is this color, like gold."
Citron replied that he had read some related gossip before.
Although Magikarp is the least popular Pokémon, it is also the worst Pokémon in the world.
But once he flashes, the wealthy gold color around him can increase Magikarp's worth countless times.
"This is also the lifelong pursuit of the curator. Catching the Golden Magikarp is why he specially built a statue of the Golden Magikarp here~"
The tour guide earlier finished the round penguin show and happened to come to the back door to get some air and enjoy the sea breeze. After hearing what everyone was talking about, she smiled and said.
As he said that, he pointed to an old fisherman sitting on a rock on the shore of a certain beach outside the aquarium door.
"curator?"
Ash raised his eyebrows. He thought the Golden Magikarp was just a meaningless statue in the aquarium.
Does this mean that in this sea area, you can still catch the golden carp?!
The interest of the four people was piqued, and they all walked in the direction of the old fishing man.
This is an old man dressed simply and wearing a straw hat and bamboo hat.
With gray hair and an old face, he looks like an ordinary farmer or fisherman, which is difficult to associate with the director of a large aquarium.
Next to the reef, there is a bright blue lobster lying on its belly.
The slender body is covered with black markings, and the two pincers are not symmetrical, with the right pincer appearing particularly large.
"This Pokémon is."
Xiaozhi quickly took out the illustrated book, and there was a blue dragon?
"The Iron Arm Gun Shrimp has water attributes. The pliers on the right side can shoot compressed water from the front like a pistol to shoot down flying prey."
The illustrated guide suggested that the sound also made the Iron-Armed Spear Lobster notice the approach of Xiaozhi and his group, so the blue lobster raised its head and showed a vigilant gaze.
Xiaozhi was very surprised. Carlos's seafood was finally not as red as the lobster soldiers or giant claw crabs.
The latter always gives people a drool-worthy, table-ready feeling.
"It's okay, Iron Arm Spear Shrimp, don't be on guard~"
Next to him, the old fisherman said softly and leisurely, and then the iron-armed spear shrimp lowered its head again and lay down on the sand with its eyes closed to rest.
Xiaozhi and his group also walked up quickly and said hello.
"Hello, Curator. I heard that you are fishing for the Golden Magikarp?!"
"Is the goods in stock?"
"Is there really a golden Magikarp in this sea area?!"
Several people couldn't help asking questions, which once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the iron-armed spear shrimp.
Hearing this, the old man who owned the museum just smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was a veteran of the Air Force.
After some exchanges, Xiaozhi roughly understood the whole story.
"The old man's name is Lu Dan, and he was a sailor when he was young. Once while sailing in this sea area, he accidentally fell into the water. Fortunately, he was rescued by a Carp King and was carried back to the shore."
"The most peculiar thing is the Magikarp. The scales all over its body are golden and shining with dazzling golden light. It is a golden Magikarp!"
"For this reason, the old man settled here and built an aquarium here for no purpose. He just wanted to see the Golden Carp King again~"
Lu Dan looked obsessed and nostalgic, obviously this was a memory from a long time ago.
Several people were also secretly surprised, knowing that Guxiang Town was built based on this aquarium.
It is equivalent to the old man in front of him who built this town single-handedly!
The admiration in the hearts of Xiaozhi and others couldn't help but arise spontaneously.
"I'll have nothing to do every day. The aquarium doesn't need to be managed by an old man anymore. I just put my name on it and fish here~"
Lu Dan leisurely picked up the fishing rod, but he did not catch any prey, but all the bait on the hook was eaten.
Moreover, what he was holding was a broken fishing rod, and the quality was not very good.
If you use a better quality fishing rod, you will catch other Pokémon, while a broken fishing rod has a greater chance of catching the bad Magikarp.
"By the way, isn't this a bit desperate?"
Citron's thinking was more rigorous and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
At least it was the golden carp that I encountered decades ago. How could I still catch it at the same location decades later?
And after so many years, it has probably evolved into Gyarados, right?
But he didn't say anything. This was probably the romance in the old curator's mind.
"Golden Carp King, Yurika also wants to see it once~"
Yulijia couldn't help but imagine Lu Dan catching the golden carp king.
Plop.!
Just then, the float suddenly jumped. Lu Dan's face tightened and he lifted it up.
"Hoohohoho~!"
This is indeed a Magikarp, but only a Muggle Red-Scale Magikarp.
Lu Dan sighed and threw the Carp King back into the water.
Although this scene has been repeated countless times, every time the float jumps, he still expects a golden and brilliant Magikarp to come up.
"At this age, I wonder if I will be able to see the Golden Carp King in this life~"
Lu Dan seemed to be narrating it to Xiaozhi and the others, but it was more like he was mocking himself.
Re-hook the bait and start fishing calmly.
This scene also made Xiaozhi and others look at each other with a little emotion on their faces.
If you keep fishing like this, you may not get any reward until you die.
How can it be so easy to get out of hand in this world?
"Although I do have a few Shiny Pokémon."
Xiaozhi couldn't help but think of a few Pokémon in the backyard, including Butterfly and Gyarados.
"Wait a minute, Gyarados!?"
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he had a bold idea.
Seeing the change in Xiaozhi's expression, Serena and the others suddenly became curious.
"Speaking of which, Director Lu Dan, you don't have any special feelings only for the golden carp king who saved you, right?"
Lu Dan was stunned, wondering why Xiao Zhi asked this.
"It was all decades ago. It has long forgotten about Lao Chen, and Lao Chen has almost no impression of it~"
He replied casually that he was more obsessed with Flash Magikarp.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi felt happy and said:
"Well, I have a way to let you see the evolved form of Flash Magikarp?"
