With a sigh, Elliot Pine felt slightly uncomfortable. The rules of the game had indeed put Gary Smith at a disadvantage, and he also realized he might have expected too much from him.
"It's true, Gary Smith is a human, not a god. How could he be expected to excel at everything...?"
The loss of the Morning Star materials this time could be considered a lesson learned. Thinking about it more, he chastised himself for his blind faith in others despite his age.
Just as he was sighing, Martin Rock suddenly spoke.
"What is he doing?"
Everyone hurriedly looked over to find Gary Smith had thrown his fishing rod away and was promptly scattering his remaining bait. This attracted a large number of Dragon-faced Carps. The sight of the swarm was spectacular.
However, Gary's actions were akin to slow-motion suicide as far as the others were concerned.
Not mentioning the fact that the carps, once full, may not take the bait, without any more bait, how was Gary supposed to continue fishing?
