Universe Infinite Canteen-Chapter 721: The Event Ends
Under the coordination of Ma Lu and Rabbit Man, the swarm of Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish was ultimately wiped out entirely.
What was magical about it was that despite being roasted by flames for so long, unlike other fish before, apart from their skins turning slightly red, there were hardly any marks left on their bodies.
Ma Lu marveled at them during the check, simply not knowing how something so resilient could eventually be cooked, but that was now Old Wang's problem to consider.
Ma Lu directly split the swarm of Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish with Rabbit Man.
Ma Lu recorded another 400 catties of 8-star ingredients, less than 100 catties away from filling up the Collection Bag.
There was no time to look for other ingredients now, but no worries, Ma Lu took out the marbles he had previously obtained, and with one red marble, one blue marble, plus one gray marble, he traded for another 100 catties of Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish meat from Rabbit Man.
This time completely stuffing the Collection Bag full, Ma Lu looked at the Traveler's Bracelet with satisfaction, seeing there were less than ten minutes left until the end of the fishing session, though he had only been on this Plane for just over two hours.
It was still early in terms of time, and Ma Lu didn't plan on resting this early. This was, after all, his first time visiting this Plane, and he could use the remaining time to get acquainted with the local customs and culture, especially concerning the fishing activities.
Although he had just participated in a round of fishing, many things were still confusing to him, and the only two persons he had interacted with, one was a swindler and the other a mute.
Ma Lu still had many questions to ask, and at this moment, he heard that familiar mechanical voice in his ear.
"The current fishing activity will end in 10 minutes… All fishers, please prepare to head to the top level within the remaining time. At that time, the fish cage from the 1st to the 4th layers will open, entering a near vacuum environment."
"The current fishing activity will end in 10 minutes… All fishers, please prepare to head to the top level within the remaining time. At that time, the fish cage from the 1st to the 4th layers will open, entering a near vacuum environment."
"The current...…"
As before, the broadcast repeated three times to ensure everyone received the message.
Upon hearing this, Rabbit Man immediately turned around and headed for the emergency ladder with his catch.
Ma Lu quickly followed but pulled Rabbit Man to a save point to save their progress along the way.
The two of them returned to the Fifth Layer while there were still 3 minutes left on the countdown.
There were more people here than when they left, apparently, most of them had come up after hearing the broadcast, now nearly 30 people in total, each holding weapons and keeping a wary eye on each other.
Ma Lu and Rabbit Man's appearance drew quite a few gazes.
More precisely, it was Rabbit Man who drew the attention, as he strapped the catch with ropes, dragging it behind him.
Seeing those catches, the eyes of many sparkled with greed, and one of the women even let out an exclamation.
"It's a Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish; he actually caught a Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish!"
Seeing the greedy gazes coming his way, Ma Lu's hand was already on the Cutting Gun.
If so many people were to attack at once, he and Rabbit Man would definitely be outnumbered, but he decided if he were to die, he'd take some of them down with him, and Ma Lu could also reset his progress, utterly unafraid.
However, the catch that Rabbit Man had might not be saved.
But then, a miraculous thing happened; those people actually restrained their greed and did not make a move.
Ma Lu was somewhat surprised, but he was pleased to see it happen and followed as Rabbit Man walked up to the golden cat statue.
With a push off the ground, he leaped into the air and extended his fluffy paw to complete a high-five with the right paw of the cat statue.
The next moment, Ma Lu heard the sound of gears grinding as the cat's mouth slowly opened.
Rabbit Man then tossed the entire catch into the deep, dark mouth of the cat.
A short while later, the cat's mouth closed once again, and soon after, the goldfish it was holding cradled in its arms also opened its mouth.
It spat out four differently-colored marbles.
Rabbit Man grabbed those marbles in his hand and returned to the ground.
Ma Lu was witnessing the entire process of trading the catch for the first time. It was quite… intelligent, akin to an automatic vending machine.
Ma Lu and Rabbit Man were the last to arrive, with the others having almost completed their exchanges.
As the last few seconds ticked away, a metal gate rose at the emergency ladder entrance, sealing it, followed by that mechanical voice sounding once more.
"The fishing session has now ended. The Prisoner Transport Ship Cat's Claw will soon arrive at the fish cage… All fishers, please immediately lay down your weapons.
"For your personal safety, please do not engage in any violent acts towards the prison guards in the following time, otherwise, you will be shot on the spot."

Before the voice had finished speaking, some people had already seen through the portholes a pink space vessel that resembled a cat's claw approaching.
Everyone promptly dropped their weapons upon hearing this. Ma Lu looked around and also discarded the Cutting Gun, Flame Sprayer, assault rifle, Light Sword... He even threw away the Chef's Knife, since as long as he wanted, no matter where the knife was, he could call it back to him.
About two more minutes passed by, and the Cat's Claw spaceship stopped above the space station.
With a tremor, the ship docked with the space station, and the ceiling above them opened. A squad of fully armed soldiers, each carrying an Energy Rifle, dropped down from above.
Their armor emitted streams of air that allowed them to change direction freely in mid-air.
Leading them was a man whose Power Armor bore the number 043. He surveyed the surroundings, and upon seeing that no one in the lobby was armed, he took off his Helmet revealing a satisfied smile, but that smile quickly faded into a look of disappointment.
"This time, quite a few people survived."
As soon as he finished speaking, a groan resounded through the hall. The prison guard with the number 043 turned towards the source of the groaning.
In the corner, there was a man leaning against the wall with one hand severed. His Mechanical Arm's tip was empty, revealing only bare wires, and in addition to that, his body was riddled with several gunshot wounds, looking in very bad shape, barely conscious, muttering incomprehensibly to himself.
A Female Doctor carrying a medical bag walked down from the ship, intending to go over and check on him.
But before she could get close, an Energy Bullet had already hit the poor man, blowing away half of his head.
"Doctor Erin, there's no need to waste medical supplies. That guy is beyond saving."
The woman, called Erin, said, "Captain Jose, I can first put him into the medical bay and take him back to the prison for treatment."
"I know that guy; he spent all his savings just to participate in this fishing event. He can't afford the medical bay's fees," Jose said indifferently.
