My fishing game syncs with reality

"Where's the grouper? Where's such a big grouper?"

The grouper I expected did not appear, but the first thing that caught my eye were two particularly long red tentacles.

Next came the silver ribbon-like body and the slightly ugly face.

It would be a lie for Gu Nan to say he wasn't disappointed when he saw the grouper turn into an oarfish.

In today's information age, although the oarfish is rare, it is not mysterious at all. Thirty years ago, he would have been able to use the information gap to trick others into buying it at a high price, but now he doesn't have to think about it.

Anyone who knows a little bit about it knows that oarfish is not delicious at all and has almost no edible value.

Its only purpose is to provide research for others or to make it into specimens.

The other type, Ishikawa roughfin fish, tastes very good, but is not as big as this one.

The oarfish that Gu Nan caught was not small. After all, it had a lot of strength. If it were smaller, it wouldn't have had such great strength.

He used a crane to pull the fish up first, then measured its length with a ruler, which was about four and a half meters.

When it was lifted up, the number on the crane read three hundred and thirty-seven kilograms.

The length is not particularly great, but it also has an upper-middle level.

Gu Nan took a few photos and then posted them on his Moments.

I have too many friends, and it seems too deliberate to send it to them on purpose. Invisible pretense is the most deadly.

"Dragon King of the East Sea, hold it!"

It may not be worth much, but I still have to pretend to be cool.

Apart from anything else, just the rarity of oarfish means that 99 percent of anglers will never catch one in their lifetime.

Most people are relatively free at night, and just as Gu Nan thought, as soon as the Moments were posted, his phone immediately became busy.

Ye Jing: "Fuck, I'm right next to it, wait for me, I'm going to see it right now."

An Jun: "Fuck, send me the coordinates, I want to go to the scene too."

Wang Junhe: "Sil, for such a big hairtail, how big a pot should I use?"

Guo Xiao: "Stop messing around, this thing doesn't taste good. An Nan, keep it for me to make a specimen. I'll put it in the club lobby."

Wang Junhe: "Good idea, do you want me to get another chicken, so that we can create a dragon and a phoenix?"

Guo Xiao: "What's wrong with your brain? Why are you messing around with chickens? Can't you make a stuffed peacock?"

Gu Nan: "How dare you make a dragon and phoenix auspicious decoration when it's so ugly?"

Wang Junhe: “This is indeed a bit ugly!”

Guo Xiao: "Forget it, just make a separate specimen and hang it on the wall!"

It’s a good idea to hang it on the wall, Lao Wang agreed.

It was quiet here, and there were many messages in the circle of friends, including Zhao Jiajia's boyfriend Li Shuai. While being envious, she also wanted to go out to sea with him for a few days.

Gu Nan agreed casually and replied to a few friends before he put away his phone.

As for Ye Jing and An Jun saying they would come and see the scene, it was just a joke.

An Jun was far away, and Ye Jing's fishing boats had all been shut down, so they would have to be restarted if he came over. It would seem a bit willful if he came over just to take a look at the fish.

Gu Nan used a crane to move the oarfish into the cabin and put it away.

Since it is going to be a specimen, it must be preserved intact.

It is indeed rare to see oarfish caught by fishing nets. Under normal circumstances, oarfish either come to the upper waters before dying and are pushed to the beach by the waves after death, or are accidentally caught in fishing nets.

No matter which one it is, the body will be damaged to some extent.

This one is intact and is indeed worth making as a specimen.

After collecting the oarfish, Gu Nan ate a piece of chocolate, drank some water, and then threw the iron bait out again.

This time he didn’t let the iron bait sink to the bottom, he was going to start catching the big fish, as it is definitely easier to catch fish on the surface than on the bottom.

Open the game backpack and choose to use the legendary card.

Suddenly, several maps opened by Gu Nan appeared.

He chose the map of North Man Island, and then all the fish he had caught before appeared in the form of an illustration.

Gu Nan searched and found Atlantic blue marlin and Atlantic bluefin tuna at the bottom.

Select Bluefin Tuna, and suddenly, the Legend Card emits a dazzling golden light and slowly disappears.

Gu Nan immediately quit the game, grabbed the fishing rod that was already on the stand with both hands, and concentrated his attention.

In less than three seconds, the fishing line was suddenly released quickly, and the unloading force on the big drum also made a series of squeaking sounds.

Because the fish was on the water surface, the fishing rod was not bent seriously, but the shaking rod body also showed that it was being pulled by an extremely strong force.

Gu Nan immediately raised the rod to hook the fish, and fearing that the hook was not deep enough, he raised it three times in a row.

It was just that powerful force and heaviness that made him feel that the fish he caught this time seemed a little different?
Shaking his head, Gu Nan didn't take it to heart. Maybe it had been a long time since he last fished for the legendary bluefin, so he had long forgotten the feel of it. In addition, the fish were different, so it was normal to have differences.

I have fished for the legendary bluefin several times, and although this one is from the Atlantic, the method is the same.

Gu Nan began to speed up the consumption of Tuna's energy with ease.

The weight of the fish was over 800 kilograms, which was within the normal range for a human being. He had no way to catch the fish and could only take his time.

From time to time, the humming sound of fishing line cutting through water could be heard on the sea. Gu Nan stared at the line on the drum and felt the difference again.

It stands to reason that he should be stronger now than before. With the same operation, the speed of releasing the fishing line should theoretically be slower when fishing.

If there is really no difference, it should be similar to before.

But when he looked at the watch on his wrist, he found that in just ten minutes, the fishing line had been reduced by one third, or one thousand meters.

Fishing for Pacific bluefin tuna wasn’t this exaggerated before. In ten minutes, the fish would only run 500 to 600 meters at most, or even less.

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 things are wrong.

Gu Nan suddenly realized that although both are bluefin and both are legendary, the Atlantic bluefin may be much larger than the Pacific bluefin, not just a small amount as originally thought, at most one thousand kilograms.

He thought of the largest record for Atlantic bluefin tuna, which seemed to be 684 kilograms, or 1,368 pounds.

"Sigh~"

Gu Nan immediately took a breath of cold air. Could this one weigh more than 1,400 kilograms?
Even if it didn't break the record, it was still more than 500 pounds heavier than the Pacific bluefin. No wonder the feeling of fishing it this time was so different.

Because he was walking the fish, he didn't notice any difference in the fish's strength, but he definitely noticed its speed and endurance.

Gu Nan grabbed the fishing rod and was about to exert more force. He had no choice. Given the fish's endurance and speed, the remaining two kilometers of fishing line would not be enough if he continued like this.

As he exerted force, the fishing rod arched further and further under the influence of the two forces, and then made a creaking sound.

Obviously, the fishing rod was a bit overwhelmed, the fish was too big. Fortunately, there was some effect, the speed of the cranking handle was obviously slowed down, which also meant that the speed of the fishing line was also slowing down.

Fortunately, he was fishing in an open sea. If he was facing the fishing boats, the people on the boats would have probably noticed the huge creature appearing in the sea.

This bluefin tuna was restless. It would occasionally rush out of the water and shake its head to wash its gills. Every time Gu Nan found that the angle of the fishing line was rising, he had to lift the fishing rod hard to stab the fish.

He would be so heartbroken if this fish ran away. A bluefin fish weighing more than 1,300 kilograms would cost at least two million if it were put up for auction!
Perhaps the price will be even higher. The Atlantic bluefin bream is already endangered, and with its record-breaking value, it would be normal for the price to double.

One hour. Two hours
Gu Nan's entire body was soaked with sweat, and he became very nervous when he saw that only a thin layer of fishing line was left.

Fortunately, after trying every possible means and exerting all his skills, he was finally the winner.

The first and second outbreaks of this bluefin are over.

Normally speaking, after the first round of outbreak, as long as nothing goes wrong, the fish basically can't escape.

But the fish pulled the fishing line out for more than 2,100 meters before stopping to rest.

Gu Nan didn't even bother to reel in the fishing line, and the fish started to run away again.

Moreover, the power of the second round was still beyond his ability to withstand, so he had to continue walking.

In the end, there were only about 300 meters of fishing line left in the big drum reel.

If the fish holds out for another twenty minutes, there is a chance that it will break the line and escape.

But Gu Nan did not take it lightly this time, as this fish could still come for the third round.

And the fish can rest, but he can't.

Gu Nan didn't care about the soreness in his arms and quickly turned the handle to reel in the fishing line.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters.
This time the tuna rested for a little longer, it did not stop to rest like other fish.

Even when it was resting it continued to swim to ensure it could breathe, but its speed became slower and it did not exert much strength to resist.

After recovering nearly 400 meters of fishing line, the tuna attacked for the third time as Gu Nan expected.

The force was still too great for Gu Nan, and he was very tired at the moment. He tried to resist it, but couldn't do it, so he just continued walking as before.

The fish escaped with great difficulty this time. If Gu Nan had used an ordinary fishing rod, he would have no chance of catching the fish back.

Fortunately, his fishing rod was also a cheating model. After more than two hours of absorbing the fish's physical strength, even if the fish recovered faster, it would be exhausted.

In the third round, as Gu Nan expected, only about 400 meters of fishing line were pulled out.

But then it rested for a longer time. In the fourth round, the fishing line was only pulled out for less than two hundred meters, while Gu Nan recovered more than five hundred meters.

The situation finally turned around. For the first time, the length of the fishing line that was retrieved exceeded the length that was released, which meant that Gu Nan had a chance to pull the fish back.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Half of the fish was already in his bowl.

This time, Gu Nan felt a little regretful. If he had known it would be so difficult, he should have used an electric reel to fish.

Although the feel of the electric reel is much worse, its auxiliary functions are better and it will not almost let the fish escape.

Slowly, the moon hung high in the sky.

The fishing boats in the distance started to move again. They began to reel in the longlines. After this, the boatmen would go back to sleep and start working again after lunch tomorrow.

Gu Nan took the time to check the time. It was almost the next day and it was already 11:30 at night.

Recover your mind and continue to concentrate on fishing.

Even though the fish was getting weaker as it got older, the distance was too far and Gu Nan fished until 2:30 in the morning before he finally pulled this giant to the side of the boat.

At first glance, he almost thought he had caught a great white shark. The bluefin was so big, and its length was undoubtedly over four meters.

At this time, Gu Nan had used up all the fish's strength and it could no longer maintain its balance. As it swam, its body tilted downward.

He himself was not in much better condition, his hands were shaking, obviously he had overexerted himself.

It seems that I have to go to the game's sea-hunting map tonight, otherwise I will definitely not be able to recover tomorrow, even if I have a recovery bonus BUFF.

Gu Nan picked up the harpoon that had been placed next to him and threw it directly at the fish.

With a "swish" sound, the harpoon immediately sank deeply into the fish's body, and the blood immediately dyed the sea surface red.

Gu Nan waited for a while, and when he saw that the fish had stopped moving, he quickly picked up the tuna by its tail and hoisted it up with a crane.

After hoisting it up, he quickly glanced at the weight, then immediately put the fish down, took out the iron bait, and quickly put it into the ice shop.

This is to prevent the fish flesh from being burned by the blood. The bluefin fin, which has been pulled for so long, is hot all over due to the intense swimming and long duration.

Normally, the fish must be soaked in sea water until its body cools down and most of the blood in its body flows out before it can be pulled out.

But Gu Nan has a cheat. As long as he puts the fish into the ice-fresh restaurant in time, there will be no problem. The ice-fresh restaurant will process the fish perfectly without damaging the meat at all.

If he were fishing for bluefin bream normally, Gu Nan would either prepare a large ice bucket and put the fish in it, or leave the fish soak in sea water and run the risk of being attacked by sharks.

However, this situation is unlikely to happen, as there are no bluefin breams this large in domestic waters.

Four or five hundred kilograms are considered oversized. Gu Nan can fish this kind of fish quickly, so he can just flush it with a water pipe, which is not as troublesome as this.

After catching the big bluefin, Gu Nan reluctantly put away the fishing rod with trembling hands, then turned off the lights and returned to the room to wash up.

One thousand three hundred and twenty-three kilograms. When he saw this number just now, he was actually a little disappointed.

After all, if the record is not broken, the value cannot be maximized.

Fortunately, there are still a few legendary cards, and Gu Nan plans to catch them all first.

If there is a record-breaking item, he must put the record-breaking item up for auction first.

This can be regarded as setting the price of the fish to a relatively high standard. Even if the bluefin taken out later is dozens of kilograms lighter, the price will not be much different.

There are many rich people both at home and abroad, so Gu Nan is not worried that others cannot afford the price.

Who knew he had five of similar size, and he could provide more if you wanted.

Of course, Gu Nan would not sell such a big fish for cheap. One or two a year would be enough.

Anyone would feel that there is something wrong if there are too many of them. With the current marine resources, how could there be so many giant bluefin breams?

I took a shower and lay down to sleep, then went into the sea hunting map and worked for several hours.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Nan felt relaxed and comfortable, and was very satisfied.

It seems that he has to take it easy before opening the next sea-hunting map, and not use up all the resources in the map at once, lest this recovery artifact be lost.

But there is one bad thing. Although his condition can be restored, he was indeed woken up by hunger today.

He was so hungry that he was trembling all over. It seems that energy is conserved and he needs to make up for it in other ways.

Gu Nan immediately rushed into the kitchen and prepared steak, eggs and milk.

In the end, he drank one liter of milk, five pounds of steak, ten eggs, and a large bag of steamed dumplings. He ate them all, which was equivalent to his daily meal intake. (End of this chapter)
