As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up

As the sky began to lighten, the shoal of Golden Spearfish scattered, and Chen Yang felt nothing but hunger and exhaustion, his eyes fighting to stay open as he yawned from time to time.

Yet, he still made a call to Chu Mingcheng first thing to find out how he was doing.

“Not bad, landed four.”

Chu Mingcheng set his phone aside, activating the speakerphone to reply.

As he spoke, he turned his head to glance at Jiang Luoluo who had washed up and was now drowsily sitting in a chair.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he quickened the pace of making breakfast.

After eating, the two of them would head back to the bedroom to get a good sleep.

Last night, there were plenty of Golden Spearfish, but even with his special ability, he could only catch them one by one.

It took him over an hour to haul in a fish weighing more than two hundred pounds, and adding on the time waiting for the fish to bite, he ended up catching only four.

Even that was with Jiang Luoluo steadily assisting him; otherwise, more time might have been wasted, and perhaps they would have caught one less.

If it were hunting rather than a fishing competition, Chu Mingcheng guessed that by now the cold storage would have been packed, but unfortunately, it was a fishing contest.

However, on hearing that he alone had caught four, everyone with Chen Yang was dumbstruck.

“Holy crap, are you even human?” Zhang Wei cried out in shock upon hearing this, “The four of us split into two groups and, in total, only caught four.”

He and Chen Yang knew about Chu Mingcheng’s strength and had seen him at full capacity, catching a large Golden Spearfish.

But now with their experience, they were fully aware of the difficulty of catching four Golden Spearfish over two hundred pounds each, alone.

The two of them took turns and spent more than two hours just to land the first Spearfish. The next one took even longer due to fatigue.

So everyone felt it was quite unbelievable.

Chu Mingcheng frowned upon hearing this, having somewhat anticipated this situation, so he had already thought of a way to cover it up.

Picking up the phone, he turned off the speakerphone and spoke softly, “Have you forgotten how I caught that Matsu Gold Spearfish in Nansha? With Luoluo here helping me, one plus one is greater than two. You guys should give it a try too; it works really well!”

Although Chu Mingcheng suggested they try it, he was well aware that they wouldn’t do so. Thus, he was not at all worried they would discover how effective cuddling while fishing could be.

“Huh~” Chen Yang and Zhang Wei were momentarily stunned, then they remembered the scene where Jiang Luoluo nestled in Chu Mingcheng’s arms while fishing, and they suddenly realized and exclaimed in unison, “That effective?”

However, the people around them were filled with question marks. They had no idea what was going on. Zhao Jun was even more perplexed and asked, “What’s so effective? Does Ah Cheng have some secret to fast fishing?”

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei exchanged glances, their minds involuntarily conjuring images of themselves huddled in the arms of Zhao Jun and Shu Ziqiang, or the other way around.

The thought was so preposterous that it sent shivers down their spines.

Hastily shaking their heads, they tried to rid themselves of the disturbing imagery, “Nothing special, it’s not suitable for us; don’t ask too much about it, you’ll see if you get a chance next time.”

With Chen Yang and the others reluctant to speak, and mentioning a future opportunity to witness it, the subject was dropped.

After quickly dealing with breakfast and helping to clean the deck, Chen Yang and his group wasted no time going back to bathe and sleep.

On the other side, Chu Mingcheng did the same, having breakfast and then heading to the bedroom to rest with Jiang Luoluo.

She began to snore not long after they lay down, clearly exhausted.

Meanwhile, many veteran contestants were up early, searching for and angling the Spearfish that had come out to feed.

Most of these were titans of the sea fishing world, including competitors in fishing contests and fishermen who fished for a living.

Despite Chu Mingcheng’s good haul from the previous night, other capable contestants were not far behind, some even better.

Take Wang Lao Liu, who spent the previous night fishing with a boatful of female internet celebrities, he had once again located Spearfish and already dispatched team members to fish.

He himself had worked to the point of exhaustion last night and didn’t participate now, feeling sore all over.

Wang Lao Liu, having nothing to do in the pilothouse, lit a cigarette and turned on the radio to catch up on others’ fishing statuses, to see if he had any boasting rights.

As soon as he tuned in, familiar voices filled the channel–big fishers from the same circle, all acquainted with each other.

“Had bad luck last night, only caught two Big-eyed Gold Spearfish, totaling just three hundred pounds.”

“Mine was even worse, one small Bluefin, just over a hundred pounds, fortunate to land three yellowfins later, barely covering the fuel cost.”

“You’re lucky, not like me. Just managed to scratch together one thousand pounds all night, all yellowfins, didn’t even get a single Big-eyed.”

Wang Lao Liu puffed and exhaled smoke, listening for quite a while, and once he was sure that no one had outdone him, he chimed in lazily.

“Sigh, youth is wonderful. Unlike me, a three hundred and fifty pound Bluefin Tuna–just one was enough to leave me with an aching back, and I’m still not over it now.”

“Xiao Liu and the others were much better than me, pulled up two Big-eyed Spearfish weighing three hundred pounds each, back to back. Ah, getting old, getting old!”

A three hundred and fifty pound Bluefin could fetch a good ten thousand dollars even with mediocre quality; if it’s of excellent quality, the price might soar to thirty to fifty thousand dollars.

Not to mention he also had two Big-eyed Gold Spearfish totaling six hundred pounds. This must be the biggest haul from last night amongst the contestants.
