Chapter 507: Meeting A Fairy
With that thought in mind, Su Yang was no longer in the mood to eat. He wanted to ask Xiao Fang what was going on that instant!
However, just as the thought popped up in his mind, Su Yang quickly dismissed it. It was normal for there to be sharks in the deep sea and no one knew if those sharks were swimming near the island.
Therefore, he needed to investigate further. ‘I will only ask when I have enough evidence.
‘As for after my investigation is done… Ahem, although I’m not afraid of sharks, the others don’t know about it. In fact, perhaps I could take this opportunity to lower down the price!’
At that thought, Su Yang quickly called out to Janet. “Come! Let’s eat first! After dinner, we’ll think of something!”
After the meal, Su Yang and Janet strolled along the streets of Honolulu. The streets were filled with foreigners and Su Yang realized that he could not tell the difference between them because they al; looked so similar. ‘Who should I ask?
‘Furthermore, Hawaii is a tourist attraction. Everyone’s here to travel, not to stay permanently. Who would possibly know about a remote island dozens of nautical miles away?
‘So, where am I supposed to look for clues?’
With that thought in mind, the 2 of them walked slowly to the boardwalk at Waikiki Beach. Western habits might be different from those in China. They liked to exercise and get close to nature. It was already evening, but Su Yang still saw many people fishing on the boardwalk.
‘Fishing?’
Su Yang’s eyes lit up when he saw some middle-aged men fishing. ‘People tend to have the most free time when they’re fishing, so he should be free to talk, shouldn’t he?
‘Besides, foreigners would only come to Honolulu to play on the beach, the beautiful women in their bikini, diving, swimming and sipping cocktails. Who would possibly fish here? Only locals or people who lived here all year round!
‘Would these people happen to know about the island?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang walked forward and talked to a chubby western senior. “Hello, sir. Do you know of a small island nearby called Socot Island?”
Su Yang gained his knowledge of the local language based on [Memory Master’s Special Wasabi Cookie], where he learned from all sorts of slangs and speaking styles from local dramas and movies. Hence, his pronunciation was perfect.
When the middle-aged man who was fishing heard him, he thought that it was a fellow countryman. When he turned around and realized that it was Su Yang, he gave him a thumbs up in surprise. “Young man, you speak really well for a non-local.”
Su Yang was not used to being complimented so easily. He smiled awkwardly and asked again, “Sir, do you know of a small island called Socot Island nearby?”
The white man thought for a while and shook his head. He replied with a West Coast accent, “I really don’t know.”
‘Alright, this man shouldn’t be a local here. He’s probably here for a short vacation.
‘But why would foreigners come fishing during their vacation?
‘How strange.
‘Couldn’t he fish near his own city?’
Su Yang thanked the middle-aged man and went on to ask the next person.
Along the way, Su Yang realized that westerners seemed to get fatter easily after they reached their middle age.
On the local Internet in China, be it TikTok or some other websites, Su Yang had seen many handsome Western young and fresh celebrities who had a pair of deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge who were all extremely handsome. However, those people seemed to have a short “shelf life”.
In China, while walking on the streets, even though many middle-aged men had big bellies, some of them maintained themselves well. They looked handsome, domineering, mature, and charming.
But in Hawaii, it was a rare sight.
Su Yang felt that it might be a genetic problem.
Excluding their appearances, all of them were rather friendly and friendly. Even though Su Yang was a rude person, they still chatted with Su Yang in a friendly manner. Of course, that might also have something to do with [The Devil’s Angel Halo] which Su Yang had, Max Friendship.
However, no matter how passionate or friendly he was, it was still useless if they did not have the information he wanted. Perhaps because the island was too remote or less popular, hence no one knew about it.
However, Su Yang did not end up empty-handed. A middle-aged man thought about it for a long time before writing Su Yang an address. He said that there was another old man who owned a fishing equipment shop on the streets of Honolulu named Charlie. Charlie would often go out to sea to fish, so he might know about the island.
Once again, Su Yang thanked the middle-aged man for his information. Then, he took the address that he had written down and started searching for the fishing equipment store.
After Little Deeny gained access to the Internet, she became Su Yang’s extremely capable assistant and easily navigated the fishing equipment store.
Su Yang took a look. ‘It’s not too far indeed.’
He followed the navigation route and found a store called Waikiki Sport Fishing. That’s right, the names of foreign stores were very simple and straightforward.
As he pushed the door open, a pleasant female voice said, “I’m sorry, we’re closing up now.”
Su Yang raised his head and saw a beautiful western woman behind the counter working on her accounts.
Her skin was very fair, like she had been soaked in milk. She had deep eye sockets, a sharp nose and a pair of ocean blue eyes.
Her hair was a golden color that was unique to locals there. It was slightly curled and fell over her body. Perhaps it was because she felt that her hair was in the way when she was counting the money, she pulled her hair to the left, revealing her swan-like neck.
Looking at her, Su Yang felt as if he was looking at a fairy from Western mythology.
Lillian was a student at Tanjin Mountain Middle School. During the weekend, she was also an employee at Waikiki Sport Fishing. Westerners usually worked part-time during the holidays.
On Sunday, the 2 pleasant days of work would end.
After work in the afternoon, she was at the counter closing her accounts, which was her biggest headache. After all, like most of her friends, she was not good at mathematics.
Just as she was about to get even, a bell suddenly rang at the door. It was the bell that hung on the door to notify them when there was a visitor.
Without thinking, she said, “I’m sorry, we’re closing up now.”
She thought that the guests would leave after hearing that, but after writing a few lines of numbers, she did not hear the doorbell ring again. Hence, she lifted her head to look at the door.
He was a tall and handsome Asian man who looked to be about 18 or 19 years old, slightly older than herself.
But like many other Asians, Lillian couldn’t quite tell what Asians looked like. However, she was able to get a feeling that the Asian man before her was… Comforting and very approachable based on her sense.
Whatever it was, she felt like she wanted to befriend the man before her.
‘But why is he at my shop?
‘Based on my impression, most Asians would go diving, swimming, or buying things. They are rarely interested in fishing.
‘I’ve a feeling that this handsome Asian man has come to the wrong place. He probably doesn’t understand our language, that’s why he did not understand what I had just said just now.’
With that thought in mind, Lillian put down the pen in her hand and slowed down her speed of speech. She smiled and repeated what she had said. “Sir, I’m sorry, but our shop is about to close.”
Just as she finished, the door was pushed open again, and another beautiful Western woman walked in.
Lillian could not help but look at the Western woman who had just entered. She was even more confused. ‘Our shop’s business has never been very good, yet why are there 2 customers here after work?’
Janet pushed the door open and Su Yang came back to his senses. Su Yang coughed to cover up his awkwardness. Then, he spoke to the pretty lady fluently, “I would like to meet your boss, Charlie.”
Lillian did not expect the Asian before her to be able to speak their language so fluently, hence a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but her professionalism still compelled her to say, “My boss isn’t here today. Perhaps you could come and find him tomorrow.”
Su Yang thought about it and asked, “If it’s convenient for you, could you help me ask him?”
If it had been anyone else who had made such a request, Lillian would have rejected them already. Furthermore, she would have felt that the person was pushing her luck and asking too much out of her.
However, for some reason, when she was faced with that Asian man, she felt weird. It was like she could not reject or get angry at him. However, she did not want to contact her boss after work, so she hesitated.
Just as she was hesitating, Su Yang walked over and took out a USD 20 note from his pocket. He placed it on the counter. “Help me make a call and ask. No matter how it turns out, this money is yours.”
‘… I’ve found a reason to convince myself. After all… USD 20 isn’t a small amount for a student like me.’
At that thought, she placed her hand on the cash and looked at Su Yang. “What would you like to ask?”
Su Yang repeated what he wanted to ask. Afraid that Lillian would not be able to remember it, he took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.
Lillian looked at it and nodded. Feeling that it would not affect her relationship with her boss, she picked up the phone and made a call.
“Good afternoon, Uncle Charlie. Yes, I’ve completed our accounts for today and am about to close the shop. Yes, don’t worry, I’ll do my best. The thing is, I have something to ask you. It’s about a small island near Honolulu Mountain.”
At that point, Lillian picked up the note that Su Yang had written on and said, “The island is called Socot Island. It’s about 30 nautical miles away from Honolulu. I heard that there are sharks near the island. Is that true?”
“Oh, I see.”
“Oh, oh. So that’s how it is. I understand.”
Lillian’s phone call lasted for about 10 minutes, proving that Charlie was obviously a chatterbox. After Lillian began the conversation, she started explaining the history of Socot Island.
Su Yang perked up his ears and could be considered to have heard everything clearly.
