Chapter 217: Chapter 174: Huh? I’m Not Doing Well?

April 13th, at five thirty in the morning.

Chen Yun, who multitasked between exercising and fishing, landed ashore with the fish in his net.

Thanks to the guidance of super visual-range perception, the spot where Chen Yun landed was not far from where he had left, roughly less than a hundred meters away.

After shaking off the water on his body, Chen Yun looked at the only sailfish in his net and revealed a satisfied smile.

The sailfish’s sword-like upper jaw stuck out through the fishing net, and holding it in his hand, Chen Yun felt a great sense of achievement.

This creature was delicious and had high economic value. Due to the sailfish’s swift speed and fierce nature, it was difficult to catch with ordinary nets, and only a few were entangled by drifting gillnets.

This was his harvest from the hard work he had put in last night and early this morning.

Chen Yun, who had been obsessed with fishing for a long time, had caught quite a few other fish.

But when he spotted a sailfish over two meters long, with a mouth like a sharp sword and a first dorsal fin with black spots that exceeded its body height like a fluttering flag,

He immediately released all the other fish.

This creature was a rarity in the Big Sand Fishing Ground.

Sailfish were predominantly found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. There were also some populations in the southern part of Hua Country’s South Sea and Eastern Sea.

But Chen Yun was currently in the northern part of the Eastern Sea.

Encountering this creature was purely coincidental.

And since he had encountered it, he definitely could not let it go easily.

The sailfish was one of the fastest swimming fish in the world, its streamlined body exceptionally suitable for swimming. While swimming, its sword-like snout could split the water in front, and, coupled with its strong tail and muscular development, it moved like an arrow leaving a bow, reaching speeds up to 110 kilometers per hour.

This was the perfect training companion.

Chen Yun had chased after it full speed without hesitation.

However, even at his fullest effort reaching just over 60 kilometers per hour, he was still far from the sailfish’s 110 kilometers per hour.

So whenever he couldn’t catch up,

He would use the Emotion Stimulation ability to control the sailfish briefly, waiting until he nearly caught up before releasing control.

This cycle repeated for quite a while.

Chen Yun successfully caught up to the exhausted sailfish.

Although he didn’t outpace it in speed underwater, he completely defeated it in terms of stamina.

Well, how could this not be considered a victory?

After contentedly securing the sailfish,

Chen Yun headed home, concluding the long pursuit that could well be considered an exercise.

He felt that in the process of fishing,

he had incidentally exercised every part of his body, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

Moreover, today he was so focused on exercising and fishing in the sea, he didn’t write a single word, which felt utterly thrilling.

He somewhat felt like he had sneakily gained something extra.

By the time he finally got back to land, the day was about to break.

At five thirty in the morning, the sky gradually woke from the deep night, displaying a soft and subtle transition. At this time, a light blue began to spread across the horizon in the east, like a light veil gently laid across the sky.

The stars gradually receded, and the world seemed still asleep, but this slight light in the sky was like nature’s alarm clock, silently announcing that a new day was about to start.

The air still carried a hint of coolness and the tranquility left from the night, making the sky at this moment appear exceptionally clear and peaceful.

Chen Yun, holding the sailfish,

slowly walked towards the small grove where he had left his backpack; by then he had mostly dried off.

He changed into his own clothes.

After glancing at his phone, which had no messages, he walked towards Zhengjia Village.

...

When he returned to the fishing village, since he deliberately avoided people, not many noticed him.

As he pushed open the gate to Zheng Yuliang’s house,

he found Zheng Yuliang had already woken up and was somewhat frantically putting on his shoes while holding his keys.

He looked up upon hearing the door open.

Seeing the sailfish Chen Yun was holding, he hesitated for a moment, but understanding that this creature wasn’t too rare, he didn’t ask anything.

Fish are phototactic, and many fishing crews like to go out at night. Moreover, with the fishing ban period approaching, everyone was hurrying to fish for a while longer.

Perhaps last night Chen Yun went out with a fishing crew? After all, being a tourist, spending money to see the world with some of the frequently outing big fishing crews wouldn’t be strange.

"How come?"

Before Zheng Yuliang could inquire about the fish, Chen Yun didn’t say much and instead asked with a smile.

Zheng Yuliang obviously planned to go out.

"Typically, people buy up at the temporary market in the fishing village center every weekend. However, with the fishing moratorium in May approaching, there have been notably more buyers in recent weeks, hoping to find some good wild stuff here."

"During this period, things usually bred can also sell quite a bit."

"I promised the grandfather next door who farms shrimp to help him out today."

"But yesterday, I was so exhausted by cleaning up the aftermath of the typhoon that I fell asleep until now and forgot to help the grandfather."

"I’m heading out now."

After saying this, Zheng Yuliang left in a rush.

Chen Yun took one more look and then moved on.

He was somewhat interested in the market, but as he had just come out of the sea feeling uncomfortable and would probably start exuding salts from his skin soon after,

He decided to properly take a bath.
