Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 39 You Must Be Kidding Me

Ji Chang left the cabin and returned to the deck.

He has been here for nearly two hours, and the two girls must be worried sick.

It takes a long time to pump out the water, and even after pumping out the water, the fishing boat may not be started.

If we continue, it will take a lot of time.

There are still fish on the Okja. If we delay too long, all the fish will die and the loss will be too great.

So, Ji Chang planned to go back first.

After taking a look at the Yuzi, Ji Chang jumped into the sea with a lifebuoy, ready to rush back and reunite with them.

Tomorrow, Ji Chang is not going to take them out to sea and plans to go alone.

Because he can sail the boat in by himself without worrying about running aground or getting into trouble.

If they followed me, they would only be frightened and try to dissuade me in various ways.

At this time, the two women on the Yuzi also saw Ji Chang coming back from the sea with a lifebuoy, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Ji Chang had been gone for a long time, they didn't dare to barge in rashly.

If something happens, they may not even have a chance to survive.

Ji Chang rowed very fast and approached his fishing boat after more than twenty minutes.

Yukiko Nakamori and Rika Kurosawa pulled Ji Chang onto the deck together, and their hearts finally settled down.

"Anisan, why did you stay on the ship for so long? What happened to the ship?" Yukiko Nakamori asked curiously.

After all, Ji Chang did not go into the water after getting on the boat, which means he stayed on the boat the whole time.

"The engine room of that ship was flooded, and I was trying to find a breach to plug it, so I wasted a lot of time."

"Okay, let's go back first, it's getting late."

Ji Chang didn't say much. He hugged the two women and walked towards the cab.

He really needs two people to massage him right now, preferably one person to massage one side of his arm to relax his muscles.

Swinging a hammer in the water is a very tiring thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time.

The two women did not ask any further questions. They never thought that the ship could be salvaged.

If possible, the ship owner would never give up and jump into the sea.

Enjoying the massage from two beauties, the fishing boat slowly sailed towards the fishing port.

After this trip, Ji Chang and the two of them became much closer, with only a thin layer of estrangement between them.

After returning home today, Ji Chang wanted this barrier to disappear.

When we returned to the fishing port, it was already dark.

"You stay in the boat, I'll go get some people to collect the fish."

After saying that, Ji Chang jumped off the fishing boat with the cable and secured it.

Ji Chang lit a cigarette and walked towards the purchasing point.

Halfway through the walk, Takao Uotani came with his men to collect the fish.

"You're finally back. How did you get today?" Uotani Takao asked.

The shark in the morning made him a lot of money, so he was very curious about what Ji Chang had gained by coming back so late.

"Several thousand kilograms of red sea bream, that's a pretty good harvest." Ji Chang said nonchalantly while handing a cigarette to Uotani Takao.

Do people say it?
Takao Uotani's eyes widened and the cigarette in his mouth fell out of his mouth in shock.

How can a small fishing boat catch 2,000 kilograms of red snapper just by throwing nets by hand?

Am I crazy, or is the sea crazy?
Two thousand kilograms! How many nets do I need to cast to catch it?

Have those fish taken anesthetics? Why don’t they run away?

"Impossible, you must be trying to tease me, right?" Uotani Takao patted Ji Chang's shoulder. He still couldn't accept that Ji Chang's small boat could catch more than 2,000 kilograms of red sea bream in one trip.

"Mr. Yugu, you are such a boring person. You don't even give me the chance to show off." Ji Chang said pretending to be disappointed.

"I knew it..." Uotani Takao breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't accept that Ji Chang's six-meter-long shabby boat could make more money out to sea than he, a fishmonger, could make in a day's work.

If it were really that easy, why would I be a fishmonger? Wouldn’t it be nice to go out to sea and make money?
"Hahaha, I'm looking forward to your expression later." As he said that, Ji Chang walked quickly towards his fishing boat.

Without giving it much thought, Takao Uotani brought a few employees to the place where Ji Chang's boat was parked and directed his men to carry the fish baskets up to load the fish.

"Thank you for joining me in fishing. Each person will receive one dollar as reward."

The appeal of one yuan is still quite good, after all, there is no inflation here now.

However, it will be soon. It won’t be long before prices soar and the day when the yen depreciates wildly is approaching.

Nets of red snapper were scooped up and put into fish baskets, then carried off the fishing boat.

There were too few fish baskets, so they had to go back and get another batch.

Seeing his employees' enthusiasm, Takao Uotani felt something was wrong.

He hurried back and wanted to watch the employees weighing the goods to prevent them from overcharging Ji Chang.

"You two take the dead fish back first. I'll come back after I've dealt with the catch." Ji Chang said to the two women.

The two nodded and got off the boat, each carrying a net bag.

Ji Chang stayed on the boat and worked with Uotani Takao's employees for half an hour.

When I saw Takao Uotani again, the expression on his face was very interesting.

Obviously, Ji Chang irritated him.

"That's incredible, how did you do that?"

"Two thousand six hundred and fifty-eight kilograms of red snapper, more than one hundred kilograms of black snapper, and fifty kilograms of swimming crabs."

Looking at the documents in his hand, Uotani Takao felt that Ji Chang was going to die.

Ji Chang spread his hands and said calmly: "I just went to the sea to look for fish. I was lucky enough to encounter a school of sea bream. I chased after them and caught some fish for a while."

"If we could catch them all, there would be at least tens of thousands of kilograms."

Ji Changjun, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Are those fish confused by you?

You must be a siren, able to control schools of fish with your voice.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to catch so many fish with a hand-cast net?
What kind of power and speed does the Yuzi have that allows it to chase after schools of fish and catch them so quickly?

In all his years of collecting fish, he had never heard of such an outrageous thing.

However, he witnessed with his own eyes that Ji Chang took the two women out to sea on the Yuzi.

With three people, even if they were to become pirates, they would still be robbed by others.

"I'm so envious. I really want to go out to the sea with Ji Changjun and go fishing with him." Ateng said with admiration and envy.

There is no need for a big ship, a three or four meter sampan can go out to sea.

Following behind and earning a few dozen yuan a day is better than working here.

"What are you thinking about, Ateng. How do you know these fish were caught? What if they were caught by some other means?"

"That's right. Their boats only have hand-cast nets, not trawl nets, nor gill nets, let alone purse seine nets. How could they catch so many fish?"

"That's right, I just saw that he seemed to have a gun on his waist. He definitely didn't rely on fishing. You know, those fishermen were robbed of their fish and they didn't dare to make a fuss. Think about the Hayabusa."

When they heard someone mention Hayabusa, everyone's faces froze.

Today, the people from the Hayabusa came to warn their boss, Uotani Takao, not to take in Ji Chang's fish.
