Chapter 344: Chapter 281 Golden Spearfish Fishing Competition_3 Chapter 344: Chapter 281 Golden Spearfish Fishing Competition_3 “How do we sign up?” Chu Mingcheng became interested.

He was now making his living off of fishing for Golden Spearfish, so taking part in a competition was totally fine and wouldn’t affect his fishing earnings.

“You guys log onto this website, register an account, and then fill in your details, including the contestants. As long as you pass the verification, you can participate in the competition. The specific rules and rewards are explained on the website, you can check them out yourself.”

The person in charge gave Chu Mingcheng the website address, explained it briefly, then went off to take care of his own business.

Chu Mingcheng and the others sat down in the resting area and logged into the website to check out the specific competition rules.

The rules were actually quite straightforward: you needed a boat capable of going to the Far Sea with all three necessary certificates in order, and if you didn’t meet the standards, naturally you wouldn’t get through.

Of course, you could rent, but with such high rental fees and just so-so cash rewards, nobody would be that foolish.

Additionally, the only permitted fishing method at sea was angling, with net fishing or long-lining and other methods being prohibited.

There would be patrolling speedboats and drones for surveillance, and those caught cheating would be disqualified.

Furthermore, the number of contestants per boat was limited to five, no more.

The trading center would have a leaderboard that tallied the total weight of the Golden Spearfish caught by each boat.

At the end of the competition, rewards would be distributed according to the rankings.

First place: a cash prize of five hundred thousand, all services at the trading center free of charge, and auction fees waived (until the start of Modu’s next fishing ban period).

Second place: a cash prize of two hundred thousand, all services at the trading center free of charge… (for three months).

Third place: a cash prize of one hundred thousand, all services at the trading center free of charge… (for one month).

While the cash prizes might not seem that high, even an extra hundred thousand a month is attractive to those who fish for Golden Spearfish professionally.

Finally, there was a restriction related to the fish species.

For Bluefin, Yellowfin, and Bigeye, the minimum requirement was a hundred pounds each, below which the weight wouldn’t count, though they could still be sold by the individual.

For the longfin tuna, fifty pounds was sufficient, and all Golden Spearfish had to be bled and gutted before they could be weighed for the competition.

If one failed to process the fish properly, causing damage to the meat, they would lose the chance to compete and be eliminated.

Swordfish and Flagfish had also been included in the participating species, and they had to weigh over a hundred pounds to count.

These fish had to be bled, but gutting was not required.

There were other detailed rules to prevent participants from scheming and causing the trading center to lose money.

Overall, the competition was very well thought out, leaving no loopholes to exploit.

“Hey, a boat can have five crew members, Ah Cheng, I’m leaning on your strength!” After reading the rules, Zhang Wei immediately latched onto Chu Mingcheng’s leg.

“Don’t even think about it. I suggest you guys go fishing on your own; if you need to, just find a few more people to fill out your numbers,” Chu Mingcheng declined without hesitation.

Having five people or just two made no difference to him; he alone was worth five others.

The only limitations for him were the quantity of fish and whether he could find them.

As for the three sea lions, he figured he probably couldn’t bring them along, as that would be no different from cheating, and the trading center certainly wouldn’t agree to it for the sake of fairness.

Chu Mingcheng’s rejection didn’t bother Chen Yang: “We’ve got a boat, so it’s actually better to compete separately. If we didn’t have a boat, then sticking with Ah Cheng wouldn’t be a problem.”

Zhang Wei let go: “I was just saying, we’ll call another two people when the time comes.”

“Got the money, let’s go. We’ll head back to the boat first,” said Chu Mingcheng, who wasn’t in a rush to sign up since the money had come through. He took Jiang Luoluo by the hand and left.

Before leaving, though, he spotted the person in charge.

Having learned the competition rules and the limit on the number of crew, he thought about spearfishing, and with the situation regarding the three sea lions, he decided to go and ask.

The person in charge’s expression turned a bit strange at the mention of bringing sea lions, but he still shook his head, indicating it was definitely not allowed.

As for spearfishing, that was clearly out of the question.

When the competition rules were initially designed, he had heard the department responsible for organizing the event discuss spearfishing.

Clearly, spearfishing wouldn’t catch many Golden Spearfish, so theoretically it wouldn’t upset the fairness of the competition.

But the sport was too dangerous, and if competitors got greedy, it could lead to loss of life; hence it was prohibited.

After understanding this, Chu Mingcheng could only reluctantly leave the trading center.

Without spearfishing, his advantage wasn’t as great when encountering large Golden Spearfish at sea.

If spearfishing had been allowed, he felt he had a good chance at first place. Now, it was all up to luck and who came across more large Golden Spearfish.

Back on the Sea God, Chu Mingcheng sent off the fish he’d reserved for his in-laws and his own parents via express delivery.

Originally, he’d planned to stay in Hang City with Jiang Luoluo for a few days, and then spend a few days in Wen City before considering his next trip to sea.

However, the fishing competition was set to start on September 1st, and today was August 14th, leaving only half a month.

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei hadn’t yet been to the Far Sea, nor had they specifically fished for Golden Spearfish.

If he didn’t take them out for at least one trip, he would feel somewhat uneasy.

So in this half-month, they would need to head out to sea once, then return early to recuperate and prepare for the competition in Modu, making the schedule quite tight.

Chen Yang was clearly aware of this as well and asked, “Ah Cheng, since the Golden Spearfish fishing competition is held in Modu, does that mean there are Golden Spearfish to be caught in Zhoushan Fishery?”
