As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 401 - Chapter 401 Chapter 293 The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing

Chapter 401: Chapter 293: The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing Tycoons_4 Chapter 401: Chapter 293: The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing Tycoons_4 At the sight of the Bluefin being hauled up, Wang Lao Liu cracked a smile, yet his heart ached intensely, feeling like he had suffered a tremendous loss.

But there was nothing he could do, as the fish had already been caught by someone else, and he couldn’t possibly claim it for himself. As a result, he had no choice but to exchange fishing insights several times that evening to somewhat ease his heartache.

However, at this moment, Wang Lao Liu was all smiles, for his current achievements were the best, with his catch selling for a total of 473,000 yuan.

Meanwhile, the person in second place had earned only 157,000, a full 310,000 less than him.

Such a huge gap was mainly due to the 350-pound Bluefin he caught on the first night.

Indeed, this Bluefin was of such high quality that it was eligible for auction.

In the end, the trading market, for the sake of updating the leaderboard in real-time, bought it directly at a high price, for a trade value of 330,000.

The difference between him and the person in second place was precisely this one fish.

Having finished his interviews, he was preparing to take his crew out for a meal, and, later that evening, they planned to visit a legitimate massage parlor to relieve the fatigue accumulated over the past few days, as well as soothe their bodies and backs.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed the Sea God returning to port.

At twenty-four meters in length, the Sea God stood out among the fishing boats like a crane amongst chickens, with only a dozen or so able to compare with it.

Of course, there were actually more than thirty fishing boats that cost more than this one.

Some class two fishing boats could cost as much as seven or eight million, and their owners were indeed very wealthy.

Seeing the Sea God reminded Wang Lao Liu of the embarrassment he faced the following morning.

So, he walked over to see how much Chu Mingcheng had caught this time.

Upon seeing the thirteen Golden Spearfish being carried off the boat, his expression showed a bit of surprise, and his heart began to grow heavy.

Thirteen fish, two more than his own catch, and the smallest of them appeared to weigh 150 pounds each–a weight he could estimate thanks to his experience.

Although all thirteen Golden Spearfish were Yellowfin and Big-eyed, with not a single Bluefin among them, only two people had been on board his boat.

Clearly, these thirteen Golden Spearfish were caught by just these two individuals, which was undeniably impressive.

While nearly a week’s time may seem long, catching thirteen large Golden Spearfish was still a challenging feat.

Golden Spearfish are not something you come across every day; sometimes it takes two or three days just to encounter them. When that happens, you must fish quickly, and thus fishing for Golden Spearfish is an exhausting task.

The two of them caught more fish than the four professional anglers on his boat, in addition to his own experience as a captain, requiring a force to be reckoned with.

Of Chu Mingcheng’s thirteen fish, the eight Yellowfin Tuna totaled over 1,400 pounds and were valued at 76,000 yuan.

The five Big-eyed Gold Spearfish weighed over 1,200 pounds in total, valued at slightly more than 106,000 yuan.

After the sale, they instantly moved up to second place in the rankings. While the gap between them and the first-place contender was significant, it was only luck they were lacking, something Wang Lao Liu was very aware of.

Those sea anglers who had used Chu Mingcheng’s name to pressure him were all surprised to find him in second place.

Initially, they had only mentioned it in passing, but they never expected that he would suddenly move up to second place.

When they learned that it was two people on Chu Mingcheng’s side who had caught thirteen Golden Spearfish, with the smallest one weighing at least 150 pounds, everyone began to take them seriously.

Clearly, an unexpected heavyweight contender had emerged in this competition.

On the other hand, Chen Yang and his team, with the help of Chu Mingcheng, had sold their catch for 130,000 yuan and were ranked sixth, which was also an excellent achievement.

Mainly because the gap between second and sixth places was not substantial, if they maintained their catches, there was a chance they could climb even higher in the rankings.

Therefore, Chen Yang and the others were quite excited, as they themselves were surprised by how good their results were.

“That first-place is impressive, going beyond you guys by three hundred thousand,” Zhang Wei exclaimed as they approached Chu Mingcheng’s side after selling their fish, looking at the screen.

Zhao Jun interjected, “I’ve just asked around, and the first-place got lucky, catching two Bluefin Tuna, one selling for 330,000 alone.”

“With over twenty days left, Ah Cheng, you still have a good chance of surpassing him. You’re just lacking a top-quality Bluefin Tuna.”

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t surprised by this, as he checked the leaderboard every day. The current first-place had not appeared before, but had now surged to the top, obviously due to selling their catch after returning to port.

This indicated that, even if his boat was filled with fish, it was just enough to fill the refrigeration hold, not an extraordinary amount.

In such a case, if the fish could sell for nearly half a million yuan, it had to be thanks to a top-quality Bluefin Tuna. No other fish could account for that price.

It was purely a matter of luck, but he didn’t feel his luck would continue to be so poor.
