As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up

Chapter 369: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside_4 Chapter 369: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside_4 After an hour of fishing, I had enough footage, so there was no need to keep filming continuously.

So he took off his camera, and put on a headlamp.

For the rest, he was equipped with two fishing ropes, a carbon fish spear, a small net, and a fish spear.

Compared to fishing hooks, his diving gear was obviously more impressive. Today, with schools of fish gathering, the efficiency of underwater hunting would naturally be higher.

And after returning, he would have to start preparing for the Golden Spearfish fishing contest. Once Jiang Luoluo was by his side, he wouldn’t be able to go deep-sea fishing anymore.

Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng swam vertically down to the seabed.

His speed was extremely fast, reaching the bottom in just over a minute.

Shining his headlamp around, he found that there were indeed quite a few fish at the bottom: Long-tailed Shore Bream, Red Friend Fish, Deep Sea Big Eye Tuna, Deep Sea Grouper, and so on were all within his sight.

However, Eastern Sea Bass were unexpectedly scarce; looking around, he only found three, and they weren’t very big, probably only about five or six kilograms each.

No wonder he had caught a dozen or so fish, but so few were Eastern Sea Bass.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t bother with the other deep-sea fish for the time being. Except for a few Stone Fish, the others generally didn’t appear in shallow waters.

Going fishing in this situation could easily raise suspicion later due to the wounds.

The Eastern Sea Bass didn’t have this problem, though. Although most of them stayed at depths around one hundred meters, that didn’t mean they wouldn’t venture into shallow waters.

Furthermore, most people didn’t know much about the Eastern Sea Bass. As long as they knew it was a high-end fish, they wouldn’t care about its habits.

So Chu Mingcheng first dealt with the three Eastern Sea Bass he had found, hung them on the fishing ropes, then collected all the Stone Fish he saw before leaving the area to continue searching for other Eastern Sea Bass and Stone Fish.

This area’s seabed was covered with large and small reefs, and he found quite a few Eastern Sea Bass hidden in the crevices of the reefs.

After an hour, the two fishing ropes were full of Eastern Sea Bass and a few Stone Fish.

The larger ones weighed around a dozen kilograms, and the smaller ones were four or five kilograms. He didn’t bother with the even smaller ones.

After bringing the fish back to the boat, over twenty fish immediately filled the first foam box.

This box of fish, along with the crushed ice, weighed about two hundred kilograms.

Chu Mingcheng closed the lid and then carried the box into the cold storage room.

Then he went back into the water again, this time swimming in a different direction, towards the north.

This side’s terrain was rather high, and the seabed was still full of reefs, with occasional appearances of huge rocks. Chu Mingcheng not only found some hidden Eastern Sea Bass here but also caught a few lobsters.

After hitting an Eastern Sea Bass weighing about fifteen kilograms under a huge rock, Chu Mingcheng fluttered his legs and swam up over the rock.

Suddenly, a piece of broken plank appeared in the light.

Chu Mingcheng curiously picked it up, only to find it far softer than beeswax–the part he grabbed crumbled directly. It was obvious that it had been eroded underwater for who knows how long.

He continued forward, but found more broken planks, and even shattered round timber.

After swimming about thirty meters more, the owner of these fragments finally appeared before his eyes: an overturned, huge wooden shipwreck.

Chu Mingcheng’s heart started pounding at once–it was clearly an ancient shipwreck. If there was anything inside, wouldn’t he have struck it rich?

Would he still need to consider where to buy a house?

Just buy everything, right?

However, this location was still within Huaxia’s territorial waters, and theoretically, this ancient shipwreck belonged to the state’s property.

If he reported it, he could get a small share of the value of the items found, based on their worth.

This small share might be worth as little as fifty thousand, or perhaps up to one million at most–any more would be unrealistic.

But regardless, Chu Mingcheng would have to enter the ship and observe before making any decisions.

Half an hour later, however, he emerged from the ship, utterly dismayed.

There was nothing inside the ship–only some aquatic animals, like octopuses and lobsters.

There was no sign of any treasure; not even skeletons were present. It seemed as if it had been looted long ago.

Moreover, the ship’s appearance was a bit strange, very similar to pirate ships from movies.

The bow was particularly long, quite different from ancient Huaxia shipwrecks. Chu Mingcheng suspected that this might be an ancient shipwreck from Japan, considering its proximity.

Yet to determine its exact origin, he would have to do some research online after getting back.
