As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 332 - Chapter 332 Chapter 278 Jiang Luoluo I Will Not Agree

Chapter 332: Chapter 278: Jiang Luoluo: I Will Not Agree Chapter 332: Chapter 278: Jiang Luoluo: I Will Not Agree Logically speaking, before confirming the value of a fish, there is actually no need to expend effort in hunting it, as it might turn out to be a waste of time and energy if the fish is not valuable.

But Chu Mingcheng was in a special situation, as he had an “external cheat.”

Although he had not identified the exact species of the fish, after catching one just now, the High-quality Atlas had gained a little experience value.

This indicated that the fish he caught was extremely valuable and belonged to the category of high-quality fish.

And since the fish here looked so similar to the one he had caught, only much larger, under normal circumstances there was no reason for him to pass them up.

Diving below three hundred meters took quite a bit of time, and when Jiang Luoluo was free to fish with him in the evening, he wouldn’t be able to dive so deep to hunt.

After all, at such depths, going up and down took so long that there was a risk of being discovered if done too frequently.

Secondly, he had encountered this kind of fish in not very deep waters, indicating that the fish did travel to shallow areas, so hunting some with a speargun wouldn’t be a problem.

If they were the type of deep-sea fish that almost never travel to shallow areas, using a speargun to hunt them would be inappropriate.

Otherwise, if people saw the wound made by the speargun, he would have no way to explain it.

In view of the high potential value of these fish, Chu Mingcheng decided to catch a batch first and bring them back to the boat.

Just then, a fish nearly one meter three long swam past him, immediately becoming his target.

So, after loading his speargun, he immediately followed it.

At the moment, Chu Mingcheng held a flashlight in his left hand. While loading, he used his stomach to support the speargun and easily pulled the three rubber bands with his right hand–this was where being strong came in handy.

Maybe the pitch darkness of the underwater environment made these fish feel very secure, so they didn’t have the vigilance typical of fish in shallow areas.

He got as close as about five meters, and the fish still showed no reaction, continuing to swish about leisurely.

Chu Mingcheng stopped, still holding the flashlight for illumination with his left hand, while he took aim at the fish’s head with the speargun in his right hand for a while.

Once he determined its trajectory, he decisively pressed the trigger.

“Whoosh~” The fish arrow instantly created a path through the water, piercing through the big fish’s head.

The big fish only reacted after suffering the fatal wound, but by then it was already too late.

It wiggled its tail, in that instant maximizing its mobility, and the surrounding water was stirred into chaos.

The commotion it caused frightened the nearby fish away from it.

Chu Mingcheng had already let go of the speargun, grabbing the fishing line with one hand so the fish wouldn’t swim away, while waiting for it to die.

A one meter three fish was quite strong, but as long as it wasn’t a four hundred kilo Golden Spearfish or a big Marlin, Chu Mingcheng could manage to hold it after being hit in the vital spot by the speargun.

No longer did he need to struggle like before, exhausting the fish’s strength first and preventing it from escaping.

After a little while, the fish stopped thrashing so much, but it wasn’t completely dead yet.

Chu Mingcheng swam over to it, first gripped the fish and tucked it under his left arm, then used a diving knife to bleed it.

As expected, while bleeding it, the fish struggled once more, but he had it firmly under control so it couldn’t put up much of a fight.

After dealing with this fish, Chu Mingcheng checked the High-quality Atlas and indeed, the experience value had increased again.

The High-quality Atlas didn’t have a property panel like ordinary aquatic products, which would have let him know the scientific name of the fish.

Unable to identify it for now, he could only continue looking for his next target.

There were plenty of fish here, just now a small group of meter-long big fish had passed by.

But the proportion of big fish wasn’t actually very high, so he still needed to look around.

Time passed quickly, and after about an hour and twenty minutes, Chu Mingcheng had hunted eleven meter-long big fish of the same species.

Mainly because he had not found any other valuable deep-sea fish here, so he had to pick this kind, choosing the larger and fatter ones.

He only brought one fish rope, and together with the fish he had caught at a depth of fifty meters earlier, the twelve now filled up the space.

He had been underwater for quite a long time, so Chu Mingcheng started swimming to the surface.

He swam vertically upward, which allowed him to approximately determine the position of the sea trench.

No need to confirm the price of high-quality fish, he knew they were worth a lot, so it was essential to come here to fish at night, as it couldn’t possibly result in a loss.

Twelve fish each meter in length weighed roughly forty to fifty kilograms, so the total weight was around five hundred kilograms.

This caused Chu Mingcheng to swim very slowly because he had to carry the equivalent of five hundred kilograms of weight upwards in the negative buoyancy of the deep sea.

As a result, it took him nearly fifteen minutes to reach the surface.

Once he got to the surface, it was a lot easier with the help of buoyancy.

He had been underwater for a considerable length of time, and the sun was now sloping westward, with the time nearing four in the afternoon.

Chu Mingcheng observed his approximate location, then picked up the smaller fish and examined it closely.

This fish was pitch black, with a slight hint of brown in the sunlight.

It had a body shape similar to the Long-tailed Shore Bream but with larger eyes and sharp teeth in its mouth, making it look quite ferocious.

If nothing unexpected, this was a Bull’s Eye Green Mackerel, not very famous at home in China, but a high-end sashimi fish in Japan.

Chu Mingcheng was not sure about the specific price and would have to check it after getting back to the boat.

It looked as though he had found his target for the evening; if there were enough of these fish, the income would not be less than that of the Golden Spearfish.

Chu Mingcheng swam back to the boat with the fish using a modified breaststroke; the distance was quite far, almost one thousand meters.

Fortunately, it was only four o’clock and Jiang Luoluo was dancing in the dance studio, oblivious to what he had been doing.
