After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 204: Just Play

The captain drove the yacht in the direction Li Zhuo pointed out.

Li Zhuo was sitting on the couch in the living room, the cockpit here was right in front of the living room, there was no partition between the two.

He asked casually:
"If I want to dive and go sightseeing in the sea, can the crew on our yacht provide coaching services?"

The captain shook his head and said:
"Sir, it's okay for the crew to go into the water by themselves, but they can't be freediving instructors. This needs to be verified."

Li Zhuo asked again:
"Does this mean that I need to hire a coach? I also need to prepare related equipment myself?"

The captain replied:

"It is enough to rent the equipment. You don't need to prepare it yourself. You need to hire a coach. Our company does not lack this. If you need it, I will contact you."

Li Zhuo gave an "en" and said:

"Understood, okay, remember to remind me when you return."

"Okay, sir."

After the yacht arrived at the northeast of Hailing Island, Li Zhuo determined the location of the big yellow croaker.

It is on the sea floor below an outcropping reef off the island.

The straight-line distance is not far away, and Li Zhuo lets the yacht cruise around here.

Afterwards, he went to the rear deck, held the sideboard with his hands, and pretended to look at the long and winding coastline in the distance, but actually tried to communicate with the big yellow croaker in his mind:
"Hi, hello, can you hear me?"

In his consciousness, he seemed to see, on the bottom of the sea not far away, the big yellow croaker poked its head out curiously at the bottom of the reef, looked around for a few times, and then quickly shrank back.

It spit bubbles in its mouth:

"Where are you? Did you come to help me?"

"Of course, I'm here to help you. I'm on the surface of the sea, and you can't see me now."

"Oh, that's great, can you help me drive away the grouper that's blocking the door? It's staring at me, and I can't get out, and neither can my companions."

Groupers are ferocious benthic predators, arguably the apex predators of coral reef ecosystems. They are aggressive and feed on other fish and crustaceans.

Large grouper types, such as giant grouper, can explode with sharks of the same size, and are also a tyrant in the sea.

After Li Zhuo understood it, he said:
"Then wait a moment, I'll see if I can catch it."

He turned and went back to the cabin and asked the crew if they had any fishing gear.

These are always available. The crew took out a few fishing rods from a utensil room, and then took out the fish food prepared in advance, moistened it with water, and kneaded it into a ball.

Li Zhuo chose a fishing rod for bottom fish, and the crew helped him put the bait on it.

"Is this bait okay?" Li Zhuo asked.

He didn't know much about sea fishing, but subconsciously felt that it would be better to use live fish and shrimp as bait.

The crew nodded and said:
"No problem at all. This bait is specially made. It is very irritating to predatory fish. It is difficult for these fish to restrain themselves from eating it."

It turned out to be Hextech, so it must have the power to turn decay into magic.

Li Zhuo walked to the cab with the fishing rod and directed the yacht to find a good place to stop.

Afterwards, he walked onto the front deck of the yacht, judged the location and depth of the large yellow croaker, and then lowered the rod to place the bait at a depth of about 10 meters.

There were 3 crew members on this yacht including the captain. When they learned that Li Zhuo was going to fish, they planned to follow suit.

Li Zhuo pointed to the side of the boat, signaling them to go fishing there.

No one has any objection, because the position of the bow is relatively narrow, and if there are too many hooks, it is easy to get entangled with each other.

After they got to the back cabin, Li Zhuo tried to communicate with the big yellow croaker:
"I've already hooked the hook, don't come out to bite the hook, and you can help me monitor if the grouper has noticed it."

The news came from the big yellow croaker soon:

"I saw the fishhook, it smells so good, it's so gluttonous, I haven't eaten for a long time."

Li Zhuo replied:

"Don't worry, I'll bring you food when I catch the grouper."

Soon, news came from the big yellow croaker:
"That grouper is swimming over. I'll hide in the crevices of the rocks first to avoid being attacked by it. Its eyes are not very good, but its sense of smell is keen. It has already smelled the scent of the bait, and it is circling around..."

This is the first time that fishing is so easy. There is a fish traitor on the bottom of the sea to help monitor, so what fish can't be caught?

"It stopped by the bait and was gulping down the water. The outer layer of bait was broken into granules and sucked into its mouth. Well, it swallowed the hook into its mouth, but... it vomited again. It came out, I didn't expect it to be quite cautious..."

Li Zhuo seemed to be listening to the live commentary. He was also a little surprised and almost lifted the pole.

"It swallowed it again..., it spit it out again..., hey, it's just playing..."

Li Zhuo was also speechless, this grouper is quite cheap.

"It swallowed it again,...it didn't spit it out, haha, let you play, you should accidentally swallow it this time, it should be!"

Li Zhuo didn't hesitate when he heard it, and then raised his pole to pull the fish.

Sure enough, the fishing rod felt heavy, and the grouper was pulling the hook down.

Li Zhuo pulled back with all his strength, he couldn't let the thread out here, and he would save himself from being hidden under some rock crevice.

After pulling it away from the bottom sea area, it will no longer be an opponent if you fight it again.

Four to five minutes later, Li Zhuo pulled a grouper weighing five or six catties out of the sea and threw it on the deck.

Not to mention, this fish is not too big, but its strength in the water is really not small.

A crew member came over, held down the grouper, and unhooked the fishhook.

Li Zhuo asked him:

"Are there any small fish or shrimp? Use them as bait."

Crew said:

"No, but it's easy to do."

He then went to the stern to sprinkle some fish food, then took a small casting net and cast it into the sea.

When he dragged it up, there were five or six small aconites and herring struggling in the fishing net.

I feel that there are still a lot of fish here, and you can catch fish with just a net.

Li Zhuo brought the small fish over, cut the two small fish into small pieces with a knife, checked the position, and threw the small fish pieces down.

This behavior is normal, nesting, no one will suspect.

Sure enough, not long after the fish pieces were thrown, the big yellow croaker said:
"I've already eaten the fish meat, but don't cast any more, so as not to attract other big fish."

Li Zhuo asked in his mind:

"Has your companion come?"

"It's here, and it's also eating fish pieces. We'll hide in a crevice in a while."

Li Zhuo asked:

"Yes, then what can I do for you? Also, what is your wish?"

The big yellow croaker vomited bubbles while eating, and hurriedly expressed his wish:

"Oh, it's like this, my male partner is also here, I will lay eggs soon, but there is no safe place around here, the eggs are easy to be eaten by other fish, or there will be fierce fish coming Attack us, can you help me guard until the fry hatch?"

Guarding the fish eggs, this is fresh.

Fish are oviparous, and the eggs are fertilized by the male fish outside the body after the mother releases the eggs.

Under normal circumstances, it takes more than 20 hours for the fertilized eggs of large yellow croakers to hatch.

In other words, during this period of time, Li Zhuo had to try his best to protect them.
