As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 469 - Chapter 469 Chapter 317 Where Did Grandpa Go

Chapter 469: Chapter 317 Where Did Grandpa Go? Chapter 469: Chapter 317 Where Did Grandpa Go? Because of the red wine that changed his thinking, Chu Mingcheng spent the afternoon in the cockpit not researching ancient shipwrecks anymore, but instead started to look into modern shipwreck incidents and the geographical location of the wrecks.

There were plenty of news reports online about sunken wine being salvaged and auctioned off for sky-high prices.

Some red wines, even over a hundred years old, could fetch hundreds of thousands of Mana, and these wines were not as well preserved as the few bottles that Chu Mingcheng had; they were clearly undrinkable.

However, for the wealthy, these sunken red wines carried high collectible value, and they naturally had an interest in buying them.

Not just wine, perhaps he could also find some gold, precious woods, or minerals, among other things.

Compared to valuable porcelain, ancient coins, and other treasures from ancient shipwrecks, modern items, even when exchanged for money, wouldn’t draw attention, and more importantly, modern shipwrecks were easier to find.

Of course, he’d still search for ancient shipwrecks, but even if he found one, he wouldn’t get involved in the salvage work.

He just purely wanted to be a Treasure Hunter, adding some entertainment to his fishing and hunting endeavors by looking for shipwrecks.

Searching for treasure was always a joyful affair; when exploring the rooms of sunken ships, if he didn’t find any treasures, he would feel regretful, but every time he approached a new room, he had the excitement of someone who might win the lottery, hoping there would be treasures inside.

Around eight o’clock at night, the Sea God docked at Wen City harbor.

At this hour there were no fishing boats returning, but the typically quiet harbor became a bit more lively because of Chu Mingcheng’s arrival.

As the customers were all regulars, the process of selling fish was already very familiar.

The fish in the live tank were sold out in just over half an hour.

He forcibly kept the majority of the Spot shrimp and rich shrimp to give to family and friends to try.

Of course, he didn’t sell the Rat Spot or any of the attractive coral fish, as these were for filling Wei Jiaguo’s large aquarium.

As for the seafood portion for Jiang Luoluo’s parents, due to geographical reasons, he had to opt for express delivery.

This time too, there was a huge harvest; excluding the Golden Spearfish, the catch sold amounted to over two hundred and thirty-six thousand, with Grouper making up the bulk of it.

For the Golden Spearfish, Chu Mingcheng could now roughly judge the quality and set the price accordingly.

Five Big-eyed Gold Spearfish were sold for a total of one hundred and sixty-three thousand, while three Bluefin Tuna fetched a total of six hundred sixty-nine thousand and a bit more.

This time around, the earnings from Wen City reached a million, and his little treasure chest was slowly filling up again.

As for the remaining two Bluefin Tuna and the Emperor Fish, Chu Mingcheng didn’t let anyone see them; he carried the fish to the shore himself, and the customers didn’t board the boat.

After selling the fish, Chu Mingcheng went back to his town home to stay for the night, chatted with his parents, left some seafood, and sailed back to Xia City the next day.

On the way, he first informed Jiang Luoluo that he was returning that day, and then he sent a photo of the Emperor Fish in the refrigerator to Wei Jiaguo.

“Grandpa, I found an Emperor Fish around ten meters long over here, pretty suitable for drying and making a specimen, do you want it?”

The Emperor Fish as a specimen could be posed in a “dragon flying in the sky” fashion, and it would certainly look very impressive.

But Chu Mingcheng’s interest in this was not that great, he was more interested in collecting treasure from shipwrecks at the moment.

“How many meters?”

Wei Jiaguo almost thought his eyes were deceiving him, but after seeing Chu Mingcheng’s message again, he couldn’t help smacking his lips in admiration; to think that Chu Mingcheng could find such a thing.

So he immediately replied that he wanted the Emperor Fish and quickly phoned for a mobile crane, arranging for it to arrive at the dock at two o’clock in the afternoon; he also set to work on his tricycle.

Last year, his tricycle was nondescript and had no distinctive features.

But this year was different; he specifically installed a sunshade to block the harsh sun, so as not to affect his fish-selling outings.

Previously, he was too casual about it and could only wander around for a short while before he had to go back, to prevent the fish from spoiling.

So after requesting Chu Mingcheng to get him a large Bluefin, he started modifying his tricycle.

By one o’clock in the afternoon, he rode his tricycle to the dock, then had the ice store owner send over a small cart of crushed ice, which he used to fill up the space on the back of his tricycle.

This way, he didn’t need to lay a board on top, and he could fully display his fish all the same.

At two in the afternoon, Jiang Luoluo was already at the dock, at that moment chatting with Wei Jiaguo.

When a sleek fishing boat, suspending a super-long Emperor Fish, slowly approached the dock, all eyes on the dockside were drawn to the sight.

“Holy shit~ what kind of fish is that, does it have to be this long?” A young man buying fish from the fishermen at the dock was immediately stunned, and after coming to his senses, he quickly took out his phone to start recording.

“Is this an Emperor Fish? What kind of Emperor Fish can grow this big?” A fisherman couldn’t believe his eyes; in his decades at sea, when had he ever seen such a gigantic Emperor Fish?

Not just him, even the people fishing with him had never seen one; the chances of catching such an Emperor Fish were too slim.

“How much could such a big fish sell for?” a fisherwoman asked enviously.

The Emperor Fish rarely ever appeared in people’s sight, and it usually dwelt in extremely deep waters, where even trawlers couldn’t reach it; many old fishermen who had been to sea for decades had never seen it even once.

All they could do was confirm through its appearance that it was an Emperor Fish, as for the species, they had no idea.

“Ah Hai, come to the dock and check out this huge fish… Not coming? Have you ever seen an Emperor Fish of over ten meters? If you don’t come, you’ll regret it!”
