As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 392 - Chapter 392 Chapter 291 The Competition Begins_3

Chapter 392: Chapter 291: The Competition Begins_3 Chapter 392: Chapter 291: The Competition Begins_3 At this time, a lot of staff arrived and began inspecting the boats.

For this golden spearfish fishing contest, the only rods permitted were boat rods, plate rods, and trolling rods.

Of course, normally these are also the three types of rods used for fishing golden spearfish.

Secondly, electric reels were prohibited, even handheld electric reels were not allowed.

Large electric reels go without saying, they can easily reel in a two-hundred-pound golden spearfish.

The handheld electric reels don’t have as much power and are used to assist Fishing Men in catching big fish.

But even so, it was still much easier than using a manual reel.

What normally required two people taking turns, with a handheld electric reel could be done by one person, although it was still very tough.

Chu Mingcheng’s Sea God had no issues onboard, and the harpoons were already stored in the organizer’s storage lockers, so after the staff finished their inspection, they disembarked and continued to the next boat.

The inspection lasted for over half an hour and indeed some fishing boats were found with longline nets and various electric reels, showing that the inspection was very strict.There might still have been some oversights, but it didn’t matter.

Next, there were patrol boats and drones, and if anything was discovered now, the equipment would only be temporarily confiscated. But if found at sea, it meant immediate disqualification and a ban from the next fishing competition.

At exactly ten in the morning, the harbor suddenly erupted with the shrill sound of boat horns, a crescendo of over three hundred vessels sounding their horns almost simultaneously, the noise traveling far and wide.

Visitors who had come to watch the event all covered their ears, almost caused by the ringing.

The harbor staff began to coordinate, constantly shouting into their walkie-talkies to arrange the departure of the fishing boats.

The outermost boats set off first, followed by the others, listening to the commands and falling in line behind.

Chu Mingcheng’s Sea God was positioned in the center and had already started warming up its engines. After about ten minutes, it was its turn.

He started up Sea God, trailing the boat ahead, and slowly left the harbor with Chen Yang’s White Dragon following close behind.

Over three hundred vessels, like a fleet, sailed toward the vast, cerulean sea under the noonday sun.

Standing on the shore, visitors quickly reached for their phones or cameras to capture the moment. Not to mention the fishing boats, just seeing over a hundred luxury fishing vessels, worth millions each, all at once was unprecedented in earlier years.

Among them were about a dozen fishing vessels like Chu Mingcheng’s, which were bigger and more lavishly decorated, garnering even more attention.

Among the visitors, a few girls spotted the Sea God and suddenly burst into excited exclamations.

“Look, look, that’s the Sea God, Luoluo is on that boat!”

“Ah, what a pity, it was too crowded earlier and I didn’t see her, and not to mention Chu God, wuu~”

“Don’t mention that Chu guy to me; it’s bad enough that he whisked away our Luoluo. Luoluo often stands us up because of him, and now she’s neglecting her duties to join this fishing contest. She’s supposed to be a delicate dancing fairy, what is she doing fishing!”

“After the Seventh Fairy married Dong Yong, she also had to weave and do the housework!”

“Ugh… if you can’t speak properly, just don’t talk, I’m gonna split!”

Clearly, these speakers were fans of Jiang Luoluo. Being in Modu, they had organized a visit to see their idol, but unfortunately, they didn’t meet her.

Just then…

“Wu… buzz buzz…”

A sudden noise arose, drawing the attention of many.

It was over a hundred drones, each carrying a camera, simultaneously taking off and forming a neat triangular formation, following the departing ships, then dispersing.

On the huge screen at the harbor, several aerial shots appeared, intermittently switching between them.

However, they only filmed a few hundred meters from the harbor and didn’t follow further, probably because of signal issues at greater distances.

On the other hand, after traveling for half an hour and covering only two to three nautical miles, Chu Mingcheng saw that it was almost noon and simply stopped the boat.

Seeing this, Chen Yang who was following behind stopped as well and gave him a call on some chatting app.

As for radio, neither of them had it on. It was too noisy, and they couldn’t hear each other clearly.

If they went to a private channel to talk, there was a risk of their conversation being eavesdropped on.

It was fine for now, but if they went out to Far Sea and had to inform each other about a location with fish, wouldn’t it be problematic if other boats heard it and came to snatch the catch?

So the two had already arranged the night before during dinner that, since there was a mobile base station on the boat with a signal, they would just use their phones to get in touch.

“Ah Cheng, why have we stopped?”

“There are too many boats and we can’t get up to speed. Let’s have lunch first before we head out!”

“Sounds good…”

For now, Chen Yang would follow Chu Mingcheng’s lead. Once both reached Far Sea, they would separate by a certain distance, and if anyone spotted a significant number of golden spearfish, they would inform the other.

Of course, if there weren’t many fish, they would catch them themselves.

Currently, the public radio channel was incredibly noisy.

Many were starting to form alliances, with some well-known social media influencers teaming up with previous fishing champions.

But many lesser-known influencers couldn’t get in touch with them and had to settle for the next best thing: well-known figures in the sea fishing community and strong contenders for the championship of this fishing competition.

These individuals also had plenty of attention on them, making them the second tier among the competitors.

The lesser-known influencers would seriously inquire for contact details in the public channel but would change their tone instantly after getting the number.

“Sea Bro, I’m a novice. Can you guide me, please~”

“Yeah, Sea Bro, our Youyou is really good with her hands, you’ll definitely be treated to something special later.”

A group of female influencers spoke in a cutesy voice, which the old men couldn’t resist.
