Chapter 302: Chapter 172: Sea Bream Family_2

A group of people quickly boarded a boat, which was a training vessel. Although Lin Yang said he was already capable of operating it, Boss Chen and Coach Feng hadn’t seen him do so, so it was necessary for him to demonstrate his skills first.

Once onboard, Lin Yang immediately began handling the operations.

He hoisted the anchor, gauged distances, adjusted the throttle, and assessed the boat’s inertia; Lin Yang operated as adeptly as a seasoned sailor would, clearly very proficient in handling the vessel.

Seeing this, Coach Feng couldn’t help but nod at Boss Chen, signaling that Lin Yang was indeed capable and they needn’t worry about any issues arrising while helping him get his license.

After taking Boss Chen and Coach Feng around the bay, Lin Yang completed all the necessary maneuvers, and then they returned to the harbor where docking posed no issue for him.

Once it was clear he could indeed handle the boat well, Boss Chen took Lin Yang to gather the necessary documentation for his application.

First, they registered Lin Yang’s information, then took eight one-inch color portrait photos against a white background. They also visited a small hospital nearby to get a health certificate, confirming he was physically fit.

After finishing all the procedures, Boss Chen told Lin Yang that the licenses would probably arrive in about half a month, but since it was uncertain whether Lin Yang would still be around in 15 days, they might have to mail them to him.

While Lin Yang was busy securing his boating knowledge and applying for a yachting license, the fishing permit that Boss Chen had mentioned the day before also arrived.

This time there were absolutely no issues with them heading out to sea.

After sorting out these matters, he rented a yacht from Boss Chen, planning to head out to sea that very afternoon.

Today, Boss Chen happened to have a larger, more luxurious yacht available that hadn’t been chartered out, which he rented to him at a slightly cheaper rate.

"Master Lin, now that everything is taken care of, I’ll treat you to a meal, shall we?" said Boss Chen with a smile as he watched the excited expressions of Lin Yang and his companions ready to sail out.

"I should be the one treating, you’ve helped me all morning, and it wouldn’t be right to make you pay." Lin Yang immediately responded.

He knew the licenses and the fishing permit definitely cost more than the fish from yesterday, thus it was only right for him to treat them.

After hearing Lin Yang’s words, Boss Chen laughed, not minding who paid, but knowing building a good relationship with him was what mattered.

Latter, they all decided to head to a seafood restaurant near the yacht club for a meal together, including Lin Yang, Boss Chen, and Coach Feng.

Initially, Lin Yang was skeptical because the restaurant seemed quite ordinary and out of place compared to the grand yacht club by the bay.

However, as they entered, they discovered the place was truly a gem.

Not to misunderstand, their amazement wasn’t about the interior decor but purely because the quality of the seafood available was astonishing.

They had abundant Rat Spot East Starfish weighing five to six pounds each, all wild-caught and of great quality, and a variety of crabs—Red Flower Crabs, Green Crabs, Emperor Crabs, and more...

Nine-section Shrimp weighing half a pound each, Rock Dragons around ten pounds, Flower Dragons weighing two to three pounds, and fist-sized Flower Snails—you could find almost any upscale seafood here.

Lin Yang was overwhelmed by the sight of such luxurious seafood.

Of course, he was not hesitating about treating because he was stingy; it was simply because it was his first time seeing such a plethora of high-end seafood.

Seeing this made him contemplate going back for his fishing rod; if he could catch each variety here, the rewards would be substantial.

But Lin Yang held back his impulse because he knew he couldn’t exploit any glitches with the fish guide, otherwise he’d have been fishing at seafood markets long ago.

Suppressing the urge to fish, they chose a table by the window and started ordering dishes, happily beginning their meal.

Grouper, giant lobsters, crabs, oysters... they ordered nearly ten kinds of different high-end seafood, making this lunch exceedingly satisfying for everyone.

For Lin Yang, the cost didn’t matter; what was important was that everyone enjoyed the meal.

After the meal, as Boss Chen said, if he wanted to go out to sea, he just needed to head out.

Indeed, there were police on the sea, but maritime officers didn’t have nearly enough time to check whether every boater had a license, given their primary duties of repelling foreign fishing vessels, combating smuggling, and drug trafficking, which were all more critical than catching unlicensed drivers.

If they happened to get caught, they could simply claim they were still learning, as there were many out there without yachting licenses.

For example, those operating fishing boats and charter boats—most didn’t have licenses; many inherited their boats and had nowhere to register them, so in essence, it was generally not an issue.

With Boss Chen’s assurance, Lin Yang felt even more confident about going out to sea.
