As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 366 - Chapter 366 Chapter 286 The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing

Chapter 366: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside Chapter 366: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside At the border near the Public Sea, about three nautical miles from the Sea God, two boats were speeding through the water, slowly getting closer to each other.

The boat in front was a fishing vessel, flying a red flag.

Following it was a ship that seemed to be a fisheries enforcement patrol.

The ship flew a white flag with a red circle in the middle.

Clearly, the boat in front was a domestic fishing boat, and the one trailing it was a Japanese patrol.

Given the speed of both ships, the fishing boat was deeper in the water and therefore slower; it would inevitably be caught up.

Meanwhile, Chu Mingcheng had finished his meal and came to the cockpit, preparing to look for some deeper areas with rocks to see if he could encounter some Eastern Sea Bass.

But just as he reached the cockpit, he noticed two very bright lights ahead in the night.

Chu Mingcheng was not surprised by this; encountering a fishing boat on the sea was fairly common.

And the boat opposite was still quite distant; it was visible, but one could easily avoid it from the cockpit.

What he didn’t know was that the opposite fishing boat was frantically sending a radio message, warning him that a Japanese vessel was chasing it and urging him to flee.

Coincidentally, Chu Mingcheng had needed to contact Chen Yang earlier, so the radio was still on.

He hadn’t turned it off since coming here alone, so he was shocked to hear that a Japanese boat was chasing a domestic fisherman.

“Brother, isn’t this Huaxia’s territorial waters? Why is Japan so brazen, daring to chase Huaxia’s fishing boats?” Chu Mingcheng asked, starting the Sea God.

“I went fishing in the Public Sea, and these Japanese caught sight of me and drove me away. Japan’s country isn’t big, but they control a wide area, even considering the buffer zone between the East Sea and their territory as their own. Isn’t that despicable!”

Via the fishing boat captain’s rant, Chu Mingcheng understood the reason they were being chased.

The fishermen from the East Sea often had conflicts with Japan, but most of the time it was the domestic fishermen who were at a disadvantage.

They were often driven off, and there even had been incidents where fishing boats were detained and the fishermen arrested and imprisoned, especially when Huaxia was less advanced.

It is only because Huaxia had rapidly developed recently, and the younger generation in Japan didn’t like the fishing industry, leading to a major decline in their fishing activities, that such incidents had decreased.

But it still happened. Today, the Japanese vessel was audacious enough to pursue them into Huaxia’s waters.

However, it was rare for the Japanese to be so persistent; they usually stopped chasing after driving the boats away.

Especially the faltering Chinese they used over the radio, made him wonder if the fishing boat had done something to force the chase.

“Brother, this Japanese vessel has been persistently chasing you. Did you do something?”

By now, Chu Mingcheng was driving his boat alongside the fishing boat, but he felt there was no need to flee; it was very likely the Japanese vessel wouldn’t bother with him.

“They boarded my ship with seven fisheries officers, and I detained them. I have already notified our fisheries enforcement, and the nearest patrol from the East Sea is on its way.”

“Damn it, they dare to just board my ship? Maybe I should detain them a bit longer, let Japan come and fetch them themselves?”

“Brother, that’s fierce!” Chu Mingcheng couldn’t help but laugh. His fishing boat was also over twenty meters long; although it was small in size, it definitely wasn’t short on fishermen.

Seven Japanese without hot weapons were no match for these fishermen. It was impossible for them to control the fishing boat.

Moreover, the nature of their boarding was egregious. If the fishing boat captain refused to compromise, it was indeed possible to detain the people for a time, letting Japan negotiate internationally and then come to fetch them.

No wonder they chased all the way into Huaxia’s territory. They wanted to detain the fishing boat, but ended up detained themselves.

It made sense why the fishing boat captain asked him to run too.

Who knew if the Japanese would act dirty? If they couldn’t catch the fishing boat, taking him hostage, Chu Mingcheng would never underestimate their potentials.

But thinking about this, he was somewhat tempted.

If the Japanese dared to board his ship, he would dare to detain them.

Just not sure if, after being bested, they’d bring some special weapons.

So he only thought about it, not stopping rashly.

They ran for a while, but the Huaxia patrol boat was still nowhere in sight, yet the Japanese vessel was getting closer.

Honestly, Chu Mingcheng didn’t quite understand the point of this relentless pursuit; although their boat was slightly smaller, it was not something the Japanese vessel could stop.

If they collided, it would be hard for both sides to come out alive.

Then, the poor Chinese rang out from the Japanese side again.

“You… stop the boat… if you don’t stop, we will… take… forceful measures to stop you…”

Forceful stopping?

Chu Mingcheng frowned, wondering if they really were preparing to collide and forcefully halt them.

Normally, he wasn’t the type to meddle, and getting involved might result in economic losses for him.

But the current situation was different, both he and the fishing boat captain were Huaxia citizens, and facing Japan, they definitely had to unite.

Economic losses and such were secondary; facing Japan, there could be no concessions.

“Brother, how about we make it tough for Japan? I’m pretty good at fighting. Their patrol doesn’t have hot weapons, right? How about I go beat them all up?”
