Chapter 501: 326

However, after changing spots, Chu Mingcheng again lowered his bait into the water, a mischievous smile faintly tugging at his lips.

He was able to catch three sea bass so quickly because he knew it had something to do with using a cheat.

It was impossible for thousands of fish to appear along the Qiantang River bank, so naturally, the fish in the vicinity were lured by his cheat and did not choose to bite at Jiang Bo’s hook.

Furthermore, Chu Mingcheng also felt that his so-called secret bait probably wasn’t very attractive to fish.

Otherwise, even if the cheat was powerful, it became ineffective once out of the water, and the people around him could naturally catch fish in that instant.

There it was, after relocating, his rod remained quiet, yet Chu Mingcheng, who had swapped places with him, got a bite again.

“….” Jiang Bo’s eye twitched, suddenly feeling that inviting his future son-in-law to fish with him today was a mistake.

“Ah Cheng, is there some sort of trick to fishing? We are using the same bait, why do the fish always go for yours?”

“This… Uncle, give me the car keys; I’ll go buy something to guarantee you won’t come up empty today.”

Chu Mingcheng couldn’t exactly admit he was using a cheat; the fish were attracted solely because of the cheat, not because of his so-called special fish bait.

He guessed that Jiang Bo’s effort in preparing the fishing spot earlier was in vain; his special mix wasn’t attracting any fish at all.

“Alright, as long as I’m not empty-handed, it’s good!” Jiang Bo quickly pulled out his car keys.

Having received the car keys, Chu Mingcheng then packed up his fishing rod and drove to buy some normal fishing bait.

While he was out buying rice wine, corn, and bloodworms, his phone suddenly rang.

Picking it up, he saw it was from an unknown number.

After hesitating for a moment, he still answered the call.

The main number was quite normal, and it was from Modu. It didn’t seem like a scam call, so he didn’t hang up.

As soon as he answered, a strange yet somewhat familiar male voice came through, “Hello, is this Mr. Chu Mingcheng?”

“Yes, it’s me. May I ask who’s calling?”

“This is Hu Xiangdong, ah. You saved me near the northern waters of Treasure Island, remember?”

Chu Mingcheng suddenly realized, oh, it was that jettisoning fishing buddy who almost used him for fishing bait!

“Oh, it’s you… Say, how did you get my number?”

On the other side, Hu Xiangdong, who was recuperating in his luxurious villa, felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this question.

He should have personally visited to express his thanks, but he had broken ribs and was still resting so he could only lie down. Therefore, after being discharged from the hospital yesterday, he contacted Chu Mingcheng today.

He didn’t hide how he got Chu Mingcheng’s contact info and chose to tell the truth, “I noted down the registration number of your Sea God. Coincidentally, I own shares in the shipyard where you bought your boat.”

“…” Chu Mingcheng was at a loss for words for a moment, as the situation indeed seemed quite coincidental.

Primarily because, at the time of the rescue, he had not paid close attention to his boat, otherwise, he would have realized his boat also came from that shipyard.

Seeing Chu Mingcheng not responding for a while, Hu Xiangdong didn’t mind, and continued, “That’s right, Mr. Chu, I’ve come to understand that you’re a professional angler.”

“To express my gratitude for saving my life, I’ve specially commissioned the top-of-the-line seventy-foot luxury sport-fishing yacht from our factory for you.”

“The interior design is currently based on the style of your Sea God. I don’t know if you have any other ideas, but if you do, you could come to the shipyard and tell our designer, and maybe sign your name.”

Chu Mingcheng was almost knocked senseless by this unexpected lavish gift–if he wasn’t mistaken, the top model of that seventy-foot luxury sport-fishing yacht from the shipyard would have an actual purchase price of over twenty million.

Not to mention the interior decor, all of the equipment was top-notch and imported.

Moreover, the hull would be fitted with numerous solar panels and have an electrical system plus two electric engines installed.

Although it wouldn’t reach the extent of zero fuel consumption, the cost of oil for seafaring would drastically decrease.

With the same size tank as on the Sea God, the cruising range would increase by one thousand nautical miles, nearly halving the oil costs for each sea trip.

Of course, this was only in cruising mode; if it were in high-speed mode, such a range and oil cost reduction wouldn’t be possible.

Initially, Chu Mingcheng’s Sea God could have had such an electrical system installed as well, but it would have cost around ten million, and he didn’t have the funds at the time so he had to give up on the option.

The boat Hu Xiangdong mentioned was worth more than twenty million; one could imagine how luxurious this boat’s configuration was.

The interior decor of Chu Mingcheng’s Sea God was actually quite decent, but compared to a luxury sport-fishing yacht, it was the difference between a pauper and a noble.

Not to mention all sorts of imported equipment; the Sea God’s equipment was domestically produced and wasn’t even the best domestically.

If he owned such a luxurious sport-fishing yacht, Chu Mingcheng could only salivate at the thought.

Those who liked sea fishing, liked being out at sea, no one could refuse a top-of-the-line sport-fishing yacht.

Even though a top-tier sport-fishing yacht incurs higher maintenance costs every year, for Chu Mingcheng’s current income, that really wasn’t a problem.

However, in the end, he forcefully resisted the temptation and declined; no matter that it was a lifesaving grace, the gift was actually too significant, and he truly felt embarrassed to accept it.

Hu Xiangdong tried to persuade him a few more times but, seeing he genuinely wouldn’t accept, asked for Chu Mingcheng’s current address, expressing that once he recovered, he would join him for a sea fishing trip.
