My fishing game syncs with reality

It was pitch dark in the middle of the night, and there was such a huge piece of wreckage next to it. It was really scary.

The sunlight was not as bright as it is at noon. Gu Nan did not hesitate any longer and hurried forward to see the situation.

Although the first thing he thought of was the keel, he knew that it was most likely not the keel. Judging from its appearance, it should be the remains of a whale.

The bones were white, covered with moss and algae, and had many cracks.

But there was no flesh or skin at all, indicating that the wreckage had been here for a very long time.

As Gu Nan approached, many fish hiding here scattered, including the black-haired fish he had just chased.

But he didn't have time to deal with these fish now, as he was probably in the middle.

There is a broken spot on the left side, but the terrain here is all reefs, so the wreckage can barely remain intact and is not covered by mud and sand.

Gu Nan swam to the left first, and after swimming about five or six meters, he found the tailbone.

Then he went back, passed the middle section, and after about seven or eight meters, he found a huge skull.

It is shaped like a pair of large scissors, with two rows of sharp teeth in the upper jaw.

Oh, that's not right!

Gu Nan suddenly realized that this should be the lower jaw. The wreckage was not lying down, but lying down.

Now he had recognized the origin of the wreckage; it was obviously a dead sperm whale.

Among such large whales, only sperm whales have two rows of sharp teeth.

Maybe the whale fell in the right place and nourished this reef area.

But these are not the point. The point is that the skeleton is well preserved and there is a great chance that it can be made into a bone specimen.

Even if Gu Nan didn't understand, he now understood that such a complete sperm whale skeleton was definitely very valuable.

The bones of many whales can be made into many handicrafts. The teeth of sperm whales are very suitable for making handicrafts and have great collection value.

There are also skulls, these are of great value.

However, sperm whales are a first-class protected animal in China, and their bones cannot be bought and sold openly.

The final outcome will definitely be that it will be taken away by the museum.

There is no problem in handing it over, but there will be no benefit at all. Gu Nan is not willing to do that. He wants this thing to stay here.

Even if this thing was caught in the open sea, Gu Nan couldn't handle it by himself and had to call for help.

Feeling a little suffocated, he quickly went up to take a breath, then came down again.

Gu Nan carefully explored and searched around the skeleton to see if he could find some other good things.

As for sperm whales, the most famous thing about them is ambergris.

Unfortunately, I looked around and found nothing.

That’s right, the density of ambergris is not as high as seawater, so it will float on the water surface.

Secondly, the sperm whale was lying on its back with its belly facing upwards. Even if there was ambergris at that time, it would have floated to the surface of the water and been washed away by the waves as its skin and flesh were eaten away, so it would have had no use for it.

It's a bit of a pity. Although ambergris cannot be traded openly, it's usually not very large.

Secondly, just like gold, those without certificates are black goods, but they can still be traded at a lower price.

Not finding anything extra, Gu Nan continued fishing and hunting. He first found the black hair and gave it a fish arrow to express his gratitude.

Without it, there is a 50% chance that I will not find the sperm whale skeleton.

He had no intention of coming over here just now, but because the distance was close, even if there was no black hair, there was still a certain possibility that he would be able to discover it.

After about twenty minutes, Gu Nan caught twelve fish weighing more than five kilograms.

The big net bag was also more than half full, with five lobsters and quite a few conchs in it.

I cannot bring this whale bone back this time. Even if I want to, I have to wait until next time to do it secretly.

This thing needs a bigger crane to lift up. Apart from anything else, the skull alone weighs several hundred pounds. Even if Gu Nan is very strong, he wouldn't be able to lift it up.

There was nothing the Nanchen could do as the deck space was too small. Even if the skeleton was broken into two parts, it couldn't fit in. A skeleton was more than ten meters long, so a bigger ship was needed.

Gu Nan placed all the catches in the fishing box on the small tugboat and hung the large net bag on the side of the boat and placed it in the water.

I won't catch lobsters if the net bag is full. This time I came out mainly for fishing and hunting, and to explore the resources of this reef area.

In the second round, Gu Nan changed direction.

Not only is there more fish in a different place, but I also want to try my luck and see if I can find something else.

Unfortunately, at the end of the third round, he found nothing.

At this time, the sun was already half below the sea level, and there was insufficient light underwater, so you couldn't see places a little further away.

Gu Nan thought about it and decided not to go night diving.

After packing up our stuff, we climbed aboard and started the small tugboat to go back.

The restaurant on the fishing boat was already filled with the aroma of food. It was much more lively than when Gu Nan had just set out fishing. Many customers had already gotten up and were out eating.

I definitely didn’t get enough sleep, but those who are up now all want to catch as many fish as possible to make back their investment or even sell them for money.

Those who are still sleeping either have a big harvest in the morning or are not short of money.

Gu Nan returned to the fishing boat and handed the catch to the boatman. He took two lobsters weighing about three pounds, all the conches, and a green snapper weighing six or seven pounds.

He took the things to the kitchen and asked the chef to help him cook a small meal, then went to the room to change his clothes.

When he came out again, Wang Junhe and others had already gathered in the small restaurant in the back kitchen.

"Anan, you are really energetic. You went fishing and hunting again in the afternoon. What good catch did you get?" Guo Xiao teased when he saw him coming.

"They are just some ordinary fish, but there is a big black one half a meter long, which is the best harvest of the afternoon." Gu Nan said with a smile.

"Half a meter of black hair, that's fine! But it's a pity it came from fishing or hunting. If it was alive, I would take it." Wang Junhe was slightly surprised, and then said regretfully.

If it were alive, he would like to buy it and raise it.

As for food, he often goes fishing at sea and has a younger brother who is good at fishing, so he is not as greedy for seafood as he used to be.

Although I still like to eat it, I am not so eager to eat it.

"In the afternoon, we mainly went to check out the resources. We found that the resources here are very good, not inferior to those two top fishing spots. You can try fishing in the evening. Who knows, you may catch something bigger."

Although there were only a few of them in the small restaurant, there were many people around, including some of Wang Junhe's friends, so Gu Nan did not mention the whale bones he found in the afternoon.

This matter is very important, and we need to call everyone into the room to discuss it individually.

Gu Nan didn't know the exact value of the sperm whale skeleton, but according to the nature of rich people, it would be no problem to sell it for several million if it was so well preserved. If Wang Junhe and Guo Xiao wanted to get their own specimens, they would not treat themselves badly in terms of money.

Gu Nan’s main focus at the moment is still on making money. A few million is not too little, and tens of millions are not too much.

After a while, the dishes were brought up by the kitchen helpers. Gu Nan invited everyone to eat. As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking around, I noticed someone was missing.

"Hey, where's Xiaokang?"

Ye Jing: "Your little brother is quite introverted and shy. He is probably not used to eating with us, so he went out to eat the big pot meal by himself."

Gu Nan suddenly realized: "Is that so? Then let him be!"

He brought people here to take care of Yi Chen and Zhao Kang's family. He felt it was not necessary, and Gu Nan would not force it. He had never heard of forcing people to take care of servants.

After eating and drinking, Gu Nan took out his mobile phone and secretly sent a message to Wang Junhe, Guo Xiao, An Jun and Ye Jing, asking them not to make it public and to find an excuse to gather in his room later.

After seeing the message, several people remained calm and continued to rest in the kitchen for a while before finding excuses to leave.

After a while, the four people gathered in Gu Nan's room.

An Jun immediately asked, "An Nan, why did you call us over? Is there something important?"

The other three also stared at him, waiting for his explanation.

Gu Nan nodded, and then whispered, "I went fishing this afternoon, and I found a very well-preserved sperm whale skeleton in the water."

Ye Jing and An Jun didn't understand, but Wang Junhe and Guo Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fuck, how lucky are you that you can find such a treasure just by diving?"

Guo Xiao even said: "If this thing is made into a specimen, its collection value can reach tens of millions."

An Jun and Ye Jing, two onlookers, gasped. Could a whale skeleton be worth tens of millions?

It's not a fossil. If it were a fossil, it would be more expensive!

Of course, the process of making specimens is cumbersome and time-consuming, and requires a lot of labor costs.

But compared with the collection value of tens of millions, the labor costs can be ignored.

The main thing Gu Nan discovered was skeletons, which were not as troublesome to deal with as a rotten corpse.

That method requires burying the body under sand and gravel for ten months to allow the flesh and bones to be completely separated, but his method only requires splicing and cleaning.

"It's so valuable. But this thing, even if I said I caught it from offshore, there's no way to sell it, right?" Gu Nan was also a little surprised. He originally thought that millions was already a lot, at most a few million. He didn't expect it could really be over tens of millions?
"Of course. We can't do anything illegal openly." Wang Junhe nodded with a smile.

"Don't listen to Lao Guo's nonsense. Tens of millions are made up of many factors."

"How much it's worth depends on the type of whale, the species, the time and other factors. But the skeleton of a sperm whale is quite valuable in itself, even if it's not worth tens of millions, it's not cheap at all."

Gu Nan nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Wang Junhe asked again, "You called us here to talk about this. Do you have any ideas?"

Some things don't need to be said explicitly, it's enough for everyone to know it in their hearts.

Gu Nan nodded again and said, "Among the people I know, besides the shipyard owner, only you and Brother Guo are more powerful. But I have a good relationship with you guys, and I can only look at this whale bone by myself, so it depends on whether you want it or not."

Wang Junhe thought for a moment and asked Guo Xiao, "Old Guo, what do you think?"

Guo Xiao shook his head: "If it's just some remains, I'd be interested in collecting some artifacts, but a whole skeleton is hard to deal with."

"This thing is made into a specimen for display. It's meaningless if it's left at home to collect dust."

After hearing this, Gu Nan's heart sank. It seemed that the idea of ​​making a lot of money through whale bones was gone.

If even Guo Xiao finds it troublesome, then it's obvious that things are not going well.

Wang Junhe sighed, "To be honest, I have the same idea, but I feel it's a pity to dismantle the skeleton on purpose. I am indeed in a dilemma."

"Anan, let's do this. Lao Guo and I will discuss this with someone after we return. We do know a few people who own private museums, so we can ask them how to maximize the value of this skeleton."

"The price may not be particularly high. Although it is a private museum, it has a cooperative relationship with the government, so it is convenient for collecting good things."

"But when the time comes, just say you caught it from offshore, don't let it slip."

Gu Nan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I understand the reason, A Jing, ask the captain to stay for another half a day tomorrow, and I will go down and get a few teeth tomorrow morning."

"Since Brother Wang and Brother Guo have no intention of taking the whale bone, I will make a few teeth into handicrafts and everyone can take one."

Ye Jing nodded and agreed.

Wang Junhe shook his head and laughed: "You are quite capable."

If you lose a few teeth, their value will decrease.

The main reason is that the gap that has just been made can be seen by others at a glance, so it would be strange if the price is not lowered.

Guo Xiao nodded with satisfaction. This little brother was still manageable. He really wanted to get a tooth to play with as a pendant.

When Gu Nan heard that Wang Junhe was selling the whale bones, he knew that he would not get much financial benefits this time, so he might as well make some souvenirs to commemorate his discovery today.

After discussing things, everyone left and went to the deck with their fishing rods to start fishing.

No one wants to stay up all night tonight, but fishing is a must.

When they heard Gu Nan say that the resources here are good and can be compared with the best fishing spots, how could Lao Wang and Lao Guo miss it?

An Jun didn't care. His restaurant was currently a partnership, and any fish he caught would be sold to the restaurant. He didn't need the money from the fish, and he wasn't addicted to fishing. He was just playing with them.

Gu Nan came to Zhao Kang with a fishing rod, opened the box behind him and took a look. There were already seven or eight fish in it, and there was also a sesame fish that looked to weigh seven or eight kilograms. It seemed that the fishing situation was very good tonight.

"Brother Nan!" Zhao Kang called out to him and greeted him.

Gu Nan got up and returned to the fishing position, put bait on the hook, and said, "Not bad, you caught seven or eight fish in just a short while. It looks like you will have a big catch tonight."

"Hehe, the fish in the distant sea are so easy to catch. You can catch them as soon as you put the hook in the water." Zhao Kang smiled, obviously very happy.

With this harvest, even if he pays back 5,000 this time, he can still earn tens of thousands, which is enough for a year's living expenses.

I can also take my sister to the amusement park and buy her new clothes. I don’t need to envy others anymore.

Zhao Kang was especially grateful to him and Yi Chen. If it weren't for their care during the most difficult days, his family would have had a much harder time and they couldn't even afford the tuition for their sister's books.

So he planned to bring his sister to express his gratitude when he returned.

"By the way, what are your plans after you return this time? Do you want to come and work for me?"

"Fishing doesn't always make this much money. Working for me at least gives me stability." (End of this chapter)
