The fish I catch can be upgraded

Chapter 296
"Acheng, there is a coral reef at nine o'clock!" Jiang Luoluo, who was holding a telescope, suddenly walked into the cab to remind.

The current time is around five in the afternoon, and the Poseidon in cruise mode has sailed continuously for more than eight hours, but only traveled about 130 nautical miles.

It was at least four hours away from the destination, so Chu Mingcheng decided to find a place to catch other fish for the time being, to see if he could add some experience points to the aquatic product illustration book first.

Maybe get some live bait to increase the chances of the tuna taking the bait.

Jiang Luoluo heard that he was going to find a suitable fishing spot first, so she went to the roof of the building with a telescope to help observe.

No, I found a place and immediately came down to notify.

"Nine o'clock direction? Okay, I got it!" Chu Mingcheng got the prompt and immediately turned the steering wheel to turn the Poseidon to the coral reef that was discovered.

"Acheng, why did you suddenly think of fishing for coral fish today?" Jiang Luoluo sat beside him, and asked out the doubts in his heart.

After all, in the competition, others are hurrying to catch tuna, but he wastes energy and time inexplicably.

"I don't have to fish for coral fish. In fact, I can find a suitable place to fish for deep-sea fish. I haven't encountered tuna yet. It's useless to rush for an hour or two."

Naturally, Chu Mingcheng would not mention the upgrade of the aquatic product illustration book, but his explanation was fine.

Jiang Luoluo nodded when she heard the words, but didn't think deeply or ask more questions.

It's almost dinner time now, and it's time to prepare dinner, so I asked, "What do you want to eat tonight, I'll do it."

Chu Mingcheng thought for a while: "Why don't you dry the lentils at night? I'll go diving to catch some lobsters."

Spear guns and spears are not there, so it is naturally difficult for him to dive and catch fish.

But there must be many other aquatic creatures in the coral reef, various shrimps, snails, and shellfish. He still hasn't caught many of these, so he can try his luck to increase his experience points.

Moreover, while diving, he can roughly observe whether there are uncaught fish on the coral reef, catch if he can catch it, and try his luck by fishing if he can't catch it.

When Jiang Luoluo heard that he wanted dried lentils, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth, feeling a little greedy.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, you go to prepare first, burn some charcoal, and we will have dinner on the deck at night." Chu Mingcheng quickly waved his hand and refused, how could he open up with someone around?
Jiang Luoluo didn't force her, she nodded and went to the kitchen to make preparations.

The staple food is lobster, but other side dishes still need to be prepared.

Chu Mingcheng soon arrived at the destination to stop the ship and let down the anchor.

His main purpose this time was not fishing and hunting, and it was summer, so he didn't wear a diving suit.

Just pretending to wear a mask and snorkel, and stepping on flippers all the way to the stern.

Of course, the live fish buckle and the only lasso that can catch fish are still brought, what if you encounter some fish that are hiding and not moving?
Xiao Heiye had never seen flippers before, so she was very curious and followed him all the time, her little tail wagging fast.

Xiao Wujin has a relatively stable personality. Although he is also an age with a lot of curiosity, he just looks at it from a distance and does not approach it.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng reached out and grabbed Xiao Heiye's lifeline by the neck, and lifted it up.

"Why, you want to swim with me too?"

Xiao Hei Ye remained motionless after being mentioned, just looked at him with those watery eyes.

Chu Mingcheng thought that the Labrador was a good swimmer, so he tried to put its limbs into the water slowly, submerging a dog's paw.

Originally, he thought that Little Heiye would scream in fear, but unexpectedly, it swayed its limbs, which seemed to be very amusing.

"It's interesting, maybe when you grow up and train, you can really go into the water and catch fish!"

Currently, Little Heiye still needs to be vaccinated and dewormed, and he is still too young to take a bath, so Chu Mingcheng put him back on the deck without throwing him into the water.

Chasing the dog away, he turned around and closed the small door while walking down the steps, lest the brat jump down.

Swimming into the water, Chu Mingcheng, who hadn't dived for a long time, seemed very comfortable in the water.

Feeling that his body was moving, he swam to the coral reef.

Today's sea water visibility is average, about ten meters. Because of Chu Mingcheng's ability to swim freely, he can see a little farther, about 12 meters.

Diving with this visibility is already very good. He swam all the way and found many fish that he hadn't caught before.

It's a pity that they are all fish with no economic value, and some of them have been caught occasionally, so it's not worth his trouble for the time being.

When he almost reached the coral reef, Chu Mingcheng dived directly and began to dive to the bottom of the water.

Later, you can touch the coral reef directly from the bottom of the water to look for lobsters.

However, when he dived to the bottom, he found a school of fish swimming slowly above the sand bed.

Chu Mingcheng glanced at his diving watch. His current depth is 51 meters, so the depth of the water layer where the fish live below is about 60 meters.

The heads of these fish are a bit square, because the bottom of the water is very dark, he can't see what kind of fish they are, he can only see that the largest of these fish is about [-] centimeters.

According to normal logic, these fish should have economic value.

Now that there was no speargun, Chu Mingcheng did not rush forward, but swam back to the water to record the location, and then continued to swim towards the coral reef.

Considering that Jiang Luoluo was already preparing dinner, he didn't waste too much time and caught four lobsters very quickly.

The two green lobsters were not big, only over a catty, but he met two Jinxiu lobsters that weighed seven or eight catties.

When catching these two splendid lobsters, Chu Mingcheng hesitated for a while.

This thing is to protect animals, but under the influence of his hack, it is estimated that the Splendid Lobster will soon move out of the range of animal protection in the near future.

Two green lobsters don't actually have much meat, but if there are two Jinxiu lobsters, there will be no shortage of lobster meat at night.

If there is no cheat, he will definitely release him.

But with cheats, he felt that he was entitled to one or two, so he caught them all.

When it was caught, one of them was a female shrimp, and when it was turned over, its abdomen was densely covered with seeds.

In this case, no matter how insane Chu Mingcheng would be, he would not eat it, and chose to release it directly.

As for the other half of it, I'm sorry, he chose to put it in the net pocket first.

But he was somewhat hesitant to eat protected animals.

So he quickly searched the coral reef again, but unfortunately, he didn't find any other lobsters. He only caught a very lucky sea red spot, weighing about three catties.

With no substitutes like this, this Splendid Lobster could only sacrifice itself to fill their stomachs.

When he really wants to eat, Chu Mingcheng will not continue to struggle.

While catching lobsters, Chu Mingcheng also caught two kinds of shellfish he didn't know, as well as a conch.

The experience value of the aquatic product illustration book has successfully increased by three, reaching seventy. Now, if you catch ten more aquatic products, you can raise it to level four.

However, before returning to the boat, he chose to release shellfish and conch. There was not much meat, and the quantity was not much, so it was meaningless to eat.

Jiang Luoluo had already set up a table on the deck and lit a charcoal stove.

Next to the charcoal stove are dried tofu, enoki mushrooms and baby vegetables.

Seeing him come back, Jiang Luoluo smiled and said, "How many did you catch?"

"I promise to surprise you!" Chu Mingcheng showed a mysterious smile, walked over and opened the net bag.

Jiang Luoluo stretched out his head to take a look: "Wow, it's so big!"

"Hey, there is sea erythema, which is great!"

Just looking at it, she suddenly noticed something was wrong. The color and pattern of this lobster, which she praised as being too big, was a bit familiar.

The next moment, her eyes widened suddenly: "Ah Cheng, this is a beautiful lobster, you can't eat it!"

"It's okay. In fact, fishing boats that go out to sea often catch some protected animals. These can't be sold. If they are released, they won't survive. In the end, they can only eat them at sea with tears in their eyes."

"Except for the first-level protected animals, there are many more animals below the second-level protection than you can imagine."

"I searched around a lot just now, but I didn't find any other lobsters. Only these two little green dragons couldn't fit their teeth, so I simply brought back this beautiful lobster."

"Actually, there was a female, but the abdomen was full of lobster seeds, and I released it."

Jiang Luoluo stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples, and she could hear what Chu Mingcheng meant from Chu Mingcheng's voice.

Two words, want to eat.But one thing to say, she also wants to eat.

But she doesn't know that domestic fish resources are increasing rapidly, so she feels a little bit scrupulous.

Seeing that Chu Mingcheng was looking at her all the time, she could only sigh: "Eat it, let's eat it, it's not an example. After killing the lobster shell, throw it directly into the sea, don't leave it on the boat."

"Don't worry, I'll go to the high seas to catch some beautiful lobsters and release them in the domestic waters. Wouldn't it make up for it?"

Chu Mingcheng laughed and joked, but he didn't know that because his desire to eat protected animals unknowingly affected the abilities he gained after upgrading the aquatic illustration book.

Jiang Luoluo rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and went to the high seas to catch and release them. Is this inappropriate behavior?
As for the Splendid Lobster, they all decided to eat it, so she naturally wouldn't struggle with it.

Let Chu Mingcheng wash it, and he carried the net bag and the knife to handle the lobster and fish, cut the meat into pieces and placed them on the plate.

After a while, Chu Mingcheng came out of the shower and began to place the pan on the charcoal stove to dry the lentils.

Jiang Luoluo had nothing to do, picked up two pieces of lobster meat and cut them into small pieces to tease the dog.

"Xiao Hei Ye, sit down." She squatted in front of Xiao Hei Ye and ordered.

However, Xiao Hei Ye flicked her tail and huddled around her, and her nose even went straight to the lobster meat in her hand.

Jiang Luoluo ordered several times in a row, and even pressed Xiao Heiye to sit down, but it was useless.

Helpless, she had no choice but to give up and go to tease Xiaowujin.

It can only be said that the pastoral dog that survived the fittest is indeed very famous. Jiang Luoluo was afraid that Xiao Wujin would not understand it like Xiao Hei Ye, so he went up to hold it down and let him sit down.

After the hardware is combined, feed a lobster grain.

In the end, Xiaowujin's cleverness surprised her very much. It took only a short while for it to understand the meaning of sitting down and getting up.

Labrador is actually very smart, but it is obviously much more mischievous than the more well-behaved pastoral dogs.

If you want to train, you have to spend more energy.

After enjoying a delicious dinner, Chu Mingcheng didn't take a rest to digest food, but sailed the boat to the location where he found the school of fish just now.

Jiang Luoluo originally wondered why she didn't set off, but came here instead. After seeing the school of fish displayed on the fish finder, she immediately understood the reason.

Since there are schools of fish, it is impossible to miss even if it is not tuna.

Although other fishes are not recorded in the leaderboard, they will not be restricted in the competition, and they can still be caught and sold for money.

Many players will catch some other fish to return blood when they can't meet tuna or marlin.

The two moved quickly, and soon set up two fishing rods at the stern of the boat.

The fish school was at a water depth of 60 meters, so Chu Mingcheng tied shrimp cages and stuffed them with defrosted Antarctic shrimp.

Antarctic shrimp is also used as bait. After all, the fish is not big, so other baits are not suitable.

It is dark now, and it is the peak time for fish to come out to look for food at night.

Not long after the two put down the bait, some fish took the bait.

Both fishing rods caught a fish, and the interval between before and after was only a dozen seconds.

With a depth of 60 meters and small fish, Chuming City is very easy to pull.

Although he was more than ten seconds late, he caught the fish first.

A pale pink tilefish appeared on the deck. Jiang Luoluo had never seen this kind of fish before, and when she was busy with her hands, she never forgot to turn around and ask, "Ah Cheng, what kind of fish is this?"

"White sweet bream, the scientific name is white squarehead fish." While talking, Chu Mingcheng took out his mobile phone to check the price on the Internet, "The market price of this fish is about [-] a catty, and those of us who catch it should be two times more expensive." Ten, not too bad."

The price of [-] is naturally not high-quality fish, which is why Jiang Luoluo picked the fish first when he opened the function of gathering fish.

"It turns out that this is the white snapper. I heard it tastes pretty good."

After a while, Jiang Luoluo finally pulled up the fish, which was also a white snapper.

Hers is even smaller, less than forty centimeters long, and probably weighs two or three catties.

"We'll know if it tastes good or not when we eat one. Since we've encountered a school of fish tonight, let's catch more."

Chu Mingcheng put all the fish into a foam box covered with crushed ice. This fish is rarely seen alive in the market, and it is usually chilled.

Therefore, the price of living and dying is about the same, so there is no need for him to support him.

There is a big gap between live fish and dead fish, which usually appear on grouper or some top coral fish.

For example, there are thousands of mouse spots per catty, and thousands of them when they are alive.As long as one dies, even just after death, the value will drop sharply, becoming eighty or one hundred and one catties.

For many high-yield fish, it doesn't matter whether they are alive or dead, and the price will not change accordingly.

The white snapper is not well-known, but the price is good. Chu Mingcheng plans to catch more fish tonight to give back to his customers.

After the fishing ban this year, some customers often complain that he only deals in tuna, leaving them no place to buy fish.

In fact, other fish in Chuming City are still being sold, but the quantity is indeed much smaller than before. With the increase in the number of customers, everyone can naturally get less.

As a result, some of the earliest regular customers could not buy more and save them as before, and eat for a while.

After meeting the white sweet bream tonight, Chu Mingcheng thought that he might be able to catch some more hairtail, lest the customers would quarrel in the group every day and there would be no fish to eat.

Time passed slowly, and with the hard work of the two, at 10:30 in the evening, they successfully caught a box and a half of white snapper, about 120 catties.

The shoal of fish at the bottom is not very big, and the shoal of fish left after the peak feeding period, so they haven't gone up for more than ten minutes.

"Looks like there are no more fish!" Jiang Luoluo said while pulling in the fishing line.

Chu Mingcheng saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he didn't plan to change the fishing spot and continue: "Well, let's rest early tonight, and get up to catch big fish tomorrow."

"Well, I'll go first." Jiang Luoluo nodded, and just as she spoke, her hand sank suddenly, and there was a fish cut, "Dizzy, I'm fishing again!"

"It seems that you are lucky." Chu Mingcheng also took the fishing line and said with a smile.

Jiang Luoluo shrugged and was about to catch the fish, but after she tried her best to pull the fish to the surface, a huge monster suddenly appeared on the surface of the water and bit the fish.

"Ah~"

The fishing rod in Jiang Luoluo's hand was pulled away by a huge force, and the rope on the side of the boat suddenly became tense.

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback, and hurried forward to pull Jiang Luoluo away.

The next moment, the taut fishing line suddenly rebounded and hit the side of the boat.

If Jiang Luoluo was still in the position just now, maybe the fishing line would still hit her.

Seeing this scene, she patted her chest with lingering fear, still in shock: "What was that just now, it was so big, it looked a bit like the big swordfish you caught before?"

Chu Mingcheng grabbed her hand and checked, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that nothing happened.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes began to shine, and he replied: "It seems to be a marlin, and I can't see it very clearly. It seems that there is no rest at night. I will go and take out the bait. You will help make a nest later."

I was lucky tonight, I caught a white sweet snapper, and when I was about to go back to rest, a marlin appeared.

He had seen it a little bit more clearly just now, and felt that it was indeed a marlin rather than a swordfish. The long beak seemed to be sharper rather than flat.

And the fins are a bit different from the previous swordfish, but the difference is not very big, and he is not sure.

But with such a big body, except for marlin and swordfish, he will earn money no matter what kind of fish is caught.

He hurriedly went to the refrigerated cabin to pick up two boxes of bait to defrost, and Jiang Luoluo was not idle, picked up the fish killing knife and chopped off three of the white sweet snapper he caught tonight.

Chop all the fish into pieces, and then throw them into the water quickly, keeping the marlin that appears first, lest it run away.

They don't know how many marlins appeared at the bottom of the water, but even if it's just one, they won't lose money tonight.

Compared with the size of the marlin just now, this cost is nothing at all.

Chu Mingcheng didn't stay idle after taking out the bait, he pulled back the fishing rod that Jiang Luoluo had let go, and then put away his own fishing rod.

He hurried back to the tool room with two fishing rods, and when he came out, he brought a heavy boat rod for fishing large fish.

When fishing for tuna before, the fishing line and other things have been fixed, and now it is enough to tie the lead pendant and the big hook.

Not to mention sea fishing, the consumption of hooks and some small accessories is not small.

After the hooks were tied, Chu Mingcheng saw that the frozen bait needed a lot of time to thaw, so he simply picked a small white sweet snapper and asked Jiang Luoluo to cut it into two with a fish-killing knife.

Then pick up half of the fish, hang it on the hook and throw it directly into the water. If the marlin is attracted by the fish, then you will definitely not miss the half white snapper.

Fortunately, we caught so many white snappers tonight. If we didn't suddenly encounter these marlins that swim very fast, then they probably just got ready, and the fish would have disappeared.

Jiang Luoluo didn't continue to harm the white snapper this time, but started chopping bait directly.

The fish-killing knife chopped hard on the sticky bait, and the ice slag and pieces of meat flew randomly.

"Aww..." Because Chu Mingcheng forgot to close the door just now when he took the fishing rod, Xiao Heiye ran out of the cabin.

As a result, as soon as it came out, it saw Jiang Luoluo chopping fiercely on the bait with one knife after another.

Xiao Heiye let out a shrill cry in fright, a puddle fell directly under her body, and her short legs trembled.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and got up to drive it back.

As a result, as soon as she stood up, Xiao Heiye ran back to the cabin with her tail between her legs without looking back. The whole journey was miserable, as if she had been huffed about eight hundred times.

"Yes, the shadow of Xiao Heiye's life can't be erased!" Chu Mingcheng went up to pick up the water pipe speechlessly, and washed away the puddle left by Xiao Heiye.

"Who told you not to close the door." Jiang Luoluo closed the cabin door and came back to continue chopping bait, "Xiao Hei Ye is so naughty, it's good to scare her."

Chu Mingcheng nodded approvingly, there must be a murderer in the family.

Afterwards, he picked up the baits that Jiang Luoluo had chopped, and threw them directly into the water one by one.

Fishing for tuna is no different than fishing for marlin, both require plenty of bait to attract them.

Just sprinkled a bucket, the fishing rod still did not move.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo put down the fish-killing knife to ease his wrist, Chu Mingcheng took the fish-killing knife and said, "Luoluo, go and spread the bait, I'll chop it up!"

"Ah."

After changing positions, Chu Mingcheng chopped the bait very quickly. At the same time, Jiang Luoluo directly sprinkled two buckets of fish, plus the previous bucket, it is estimated that they sprinkled [-] to [-] catties.

But despite the fact that fifty or sixty catties is quite a lot, if you sprinkle it into the water, it will just form a small fish nest.

Sometimes it is normal for tuna fishermen to sprinkle hundreds of catties or even more bait in order to attract tuna.

Without such a huge fish nest, how could tuna be attracted.

After throwing three buckets of bait, neither of them stopped, still doing their work silently.

However, Jiang Luoluo could reduce the amount of bait thrown now. The fish nest had already been formed, so there was no need to continue throwing out a large amount of bait, which would be a waste.

But at this moment, the sound of "creak creak" suddenly sounded. It was the rapid sound made when the fishing line in the drum was pulled and forced to rotate after unloading.

Jiang Luoluo's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. Throwing the bucket in his hand, he immediately grabbed the half-moon-bent fishing rod and lifted it up forcefully, and grabbed the crank handle that had been forced to rotate in the opposite direction.

"crunch~"

The fishing rod was under unprecedented pressure, and the fishing line seemed to be unable to stretch, and kept trembling slightly. All the water droplets contaminated on it were shattered and bounced into water mist.

Jiang Luoluo's face was flushed red, she had never experienced this kind of pressure before.

Fortunately, the next moment, she was surrounded by a pair of powerful arms, and Chu Mingcheng came behind her in time.

He grabbed the fishing rod with one hand to relieve Jiang Luoluo's pressure, opened a little spool with the other hand, and reduced the unloading force to release the pressure on the drum.

"Lolo, help me grab the fishing rod together, I'm going to take the fishing rod out of the fishing hole."

From the condition of the fishing line and rod, Chu Mingcheng could tell that the fish he caught this time were no smaller than the swordfish he caught last time.

At least 70 bluefin tuna have not reached this level.

He wanted to take the fishing rod out of the fishing hole, naturally he wanted to quickly consume the strength of the fish.

Otherwise, the 1000-meter fishing line can't hold back the fish, and the Poseidon is too big to catch up like the original boat.

Therefore, we can only rely on manpower to fight against this big fish. With Jiang Luoluo's help, Chu Mingcheng believes that he can catch the fish successfully.
