As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 406 - Chapter 406 Chapter 295 Tuna Snatching Food

Chapter 406: Chapter 295: Tuna Snatching Food Chapter 406: Chapter 295: Tuna Snatching Food “Ah Cheng, there’s a coral reef at nine o’clock!” Jiang Luoluo, holding a telescope, suddenly entered the cockpit to report.

It was around five in the afternoon, and the Sea God, currently on cruise mode, had been sailing continuously for more than eight hours, covering only about 130 nautical miles.

There were at least four more hours to get to the destination, so Chu Mingcheng decided to find a place to fish for other fish species temporarily, to see if they could add some experience points to their marine species guide.

Perhaps they could also catch some live bait to increase the odds of catching Golden Spearfish.

When Jiang Luoluo heard that he was looking for a suitable fishing spot, she took the telescope to the top deck to help keep watch.

Here, having spotted a place, she immediately came down to notify him.

“Nine o’clock direction? Okay, got it!” Chu Mingcheng, upon receiving the tip, immediately turned the steering wheel and redirected the Sea God toward the discovered coral reef.

“Ah Cheng, why did you suddenly think of fishing for coral fish today?” Jiang Luoluo sat beside him, voicing her confusion.

After all, in the competition, everyone else was rushing to catch Golden Spearfish, and yet he was inexplicably wasting energy and time.

“I don’t necessarily have to fish for coral fish, actually, finding a suitable spot for deep-sea fish is fine too. We haven’t encountered any Golden Spearfish yet, so being anxious for an hour or two doesn’t help much.”

Chu Mingcheng naturally didn’t mention anything about upgrading the marine species guide, but his explanation had no issues.

Jiang Luoluo nodded upon hearing this, without overthinking or asking further questions.

It was almost dinner time, so she asked, “What would you like for dinner? I’ll go prepare it.”

After some thought, Chu Mingcheng said, “How about dried flat beans? I’ll dive and catch a few lobsters.”

The spear and harpoon were not with them, making it naturally difficult for him to catch fish by diving.

But there would definitely be many other aquatic creatures within the coral reef, various shrimps, snails, and shellfish, many of which he hadn’t caught before – an opportunity to try his luck and gain some experience.

Moreover, diving would allow him to roughly see if there were any uncaught fish around the coral reef, which he could try to catch, or use fishing to flag his luck otherwise.

On hearing about dried flat beans, Jiang Luoluo smacked her lips, evidently also tempted.

“Do you want me to come with you?”

“No need, you go ahead and prepare, light some charcoal. We’ll dine on the deck tonight.” Chu Mingcheng quickly waved his hand to refuse, as he couldn’t exactly cheat with someone around.

Jiang Luoluo didn’t insist, nodded, and went to the kitchen to start preparations.

The main dish would be lobster, but other side dishes still had to be prepared.

Chu Mingcheng quickly arrived at the destination, stopping the boat and dropping the anchor.

As the primary purpose this time wasn’t fishing and it was summer, he didn’t wear a diving suit.

He simply donned a mask and breathing tube for show, his feet fitted into flippers, and made his way to the stern of the boat.

Of course, he still brought along the live fish clamp and the only remaining fishing lasso capable of catching fish — just in case he encountered any stationary fish.

Little Heiye had never seen flippers and was highly curious, following closely behind him, his little tail wagging rapidly.

Little Wujin was more stable, and though also very curious, he watched from a distance without approaching.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Little Heiye by the scruff of his neck, lifting him up.

“What, do you want to swim with me too?”

Little Heiye, lifted up, stayed motionless, just looking at him with those watery eyes.

Chu Mingcheng thought about the well-known swimming skills of Labradors, and thus tried dipping his limbs into the water slowly, submerging his paws.

He expected Little Heiye to be scared and to howl, but astonishingly, the dog began paddling, seemingly finding it amusing.

“Interesting, maybe if he grows up and gets trained, he really could dive down and catch fish!”

Currently, Little Heiye still needed vaccinations and deworming, and since he was too young for baths, Chu Mingcheng put him back on the deck rather than tossing him into the water.

After sending the dog away, he stepped down the steps, turning simultaneously to close the little door and prevent the rambunctious kid from following him into the water.

Once in the water, Chu Mingcheng, who hadn’t dived in quite a while, darted around freely, appearing quite at ease.

Feeling his body limber up, he then swam toward the coral reef.

The visibility in the sea today was average, about ten meters; since he could swim freely, Chu Mingcheng could see a bit farther, roughly twelve meters.

Such visibility was excellent for diving; as he swam along, he discovered many types of fish he hadn’t caught before.

Unfortunately, they were all economically insignificant, and occasionally, the ones he did encounter were already familiar, not worth the effort.

When he nearly reached the coral reef, Chu Mingcheng dove directly, heading toward the sea bottom.

Shortly, he could directly move from the seabed to the coral reef side to look for traces of lobsters.

However, when he reached the bottom, he saw a group of fish leisurely swimming above the sandy bed.

Chu Mingcheng glanced at his dive watch; his current depth was fifty-one meters, so the water layer where the fish were active was roughly around sixty meters deep.

Their heads seemed a bit square, and because it was dark at the bottom, he couldn’t make out exactly what type of fish they were, only able to see they were about fifty centimeters at best.

According to logic, these fish should have some economic value.

Lacking a fishing spear, Chu Mingcheng didn’t dare to approach rashly but swam back to the surface to note the location, after which he continued toward the coral reef.

Considering Jiang Luoluo was already preparing dinner, he didn’t dally long, quickly catching four lobsters.
