As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 433 - Chapter 433 Chapter 307 Special Cuisine

Chapter 433: Chapter 307: Special Cuisine Chapter 433: Chapter 307: Special Cuisine When Chu Mingcheng saw the caller ID, a wry smile tugged at his lips; the fish had bitten the bait.

Jiang Luoluo was right beside him, so she curiously glanced at the screen and showed a puzzled look when she saw the words “Sister Xin.”

However, the call had already been connected, and she idly stood by and listened, because Chu Mingcheng had put it on speakerphone.

“Ah Cheng, you’ve achieved such a great haul this time, congratulations!”

“Just lucky, just lucky…”

After a few words of pleasantries, Yao Xin proposed getting together for a late-night snack that evening.

But Chu Mingcheng refused, having just eaten his fill for the night and not interested in having any late-night snacks.

Nevertheless, he took the initiative to ask if Yao Xin needed anything from him, effectively giving her the opportunity to state her intentions.

After a brief conversation, the two of them established a cooperative relationship.

Of course, “cooperation” was just a nice way of putting it; in reality, it was more like asking to be looked after. Everyone involved knew very well what it actually meant.

Seeing the phone call had ended, Jiang Luoluo frowned and said, “Ah Cheng, does this cooperation really benefit us?”

“It’s not really meaningful for our fishing, but if we get lucky and encounter a school of fish, helping them move up in the rankings to join Chen Yang and the others in second and third place, then won’t those who cheated by buying fish be happy?”

Chu Mingcheng set his phone aside and wrapped his arms around her, explaining his motives.

“Buying fish to cheat?” Jiang Luoluo looked confused, “What does that mean?”

Chu Mingcheng slapped his forehead, having forgotten that he had kept this matter from her to spare her feelings at the time.

Luckily, he was currently in first place and had a substantial lead over the second place, so he told her about what Chen Yang had discovered and his own suspicions.

“These people really lack sportsmanship.”

After understanding the situation, Jiang Luoluo looked disgusted and a bit relieved.

“Thankfully, all the boats are now equipped with surveillance, and I’ve heard that there are a lot more patrol speedboats near the waters close to Japan; there’s no way for them to buy fish and cheat anymore.”

Chu Mingcheng nodded, “Yeah, the risk of cheating is too high at the moment, and those who aspire to high rankings definitely won’t risk it. But these seasoned seafarers might have other tricks up their sleeves.”

“Therefore, agreeing to cooperate has this in mind as well, just in case anything happens, at least there’s someone nearby who can help.”

“Help?” Jiang Luoluo caught on to the implication, “Do you mean, someone might cause trouble for us?”

“Haven’t you heard the cursing over the radio due to disputes over fishing spots?” Chu Mingcheng said with a laugh as he pinched her cheek, “One million is no small amount. Wouldn’t it be normal for someone without any scruples to covet our fishing spot?”

“But as to the specifics, I can’t be sure. Just to be safe.”

Friendly competitions come first? What a joke. Faced with the temptation of tens or hundreds of millions, what’s snatching a fishing spot to them? It’s not like anyone’s committing murder,

…

The next morning, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo went hand in hand to the supermarket for a major shopping trip.

In Modu, everything is readily available. As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything.

The two of them once again visited the exorbitantly priced supermarket, first heading straight to the fruit section upon arrival.

Jiang Luoluo picked up a durian and said with a smile, “Ah Cheng, have you ever tried grilled durian?”

Seeing her mischievous grin, Chu Mingcheng raised an eyebrow, “That is a delicacy, but there are a few other flavors that are even better.”

“What?” Jiang Luoluo grew curious. To many, durian is a tasty fruit, but others can’t withstand the smell, let alone grilled.

At least she had never bought durian before and hadn’t seen Chu Mingcheng eat it either.

So, she wanted to see his reaction but ended up piqued by his hint of something even more intriguing.

“That’s an Icelandic delicacy, the fermented…” Chu Mingcheng didn’t finish his sentence when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He checked and found it was Chen Yang calling to ask where they were and if he could join them for supplies shopping.

After giving out their location, Chu Mingcheng turned to see Jiang Luoluo’s curious big eyes still fixed on him and smirked, “Ah, look at these grapes; they’re nice and delicate. Oh, and these melons look even better, so big and round.”

“Hey, you haven’t finished telling me about that Icelandic delicacy!” Jiang Luoluo said, holding onto him discontentedly.

“Oh? Didn’t I? Well, about that…” Chu Mingcheng feigned surprise while continuing to tease her with a funny lilt in his voice.

“…” Jiang Luoluo’s fair and slender hands clenched tightly, then all of a sudden, she beamed with a smile and her voice took on a sing-song quality, “Ah Cheng, won’t you tell me~”

Chu Mingcheng shivered; her voice was getting to him, and the impact of hearing it for the first time was overwhelming.

No wonder women are compared to cats.

The little kitty at home would meow with a rough voice when he wasn’t around, but as soon as he showed up, it would switch to a soft purr.

“That dish is fermented puffin, an interesting specialty.”

“Puffins can be fermented? Is it similar to Peking duck?”

Chu Mingcheng’s expression instantly turned bizarre, “To some extent, the two share a tiny commonality, and I’ll definitely take you to try it when we get the chance.”

Jiang Luoluo, not yet knowing what she was in for, not only agreed but even suggested, “Great! But can you make that fermented puffin yourself? Why don’t we try our hand at a makeshift version?”
