Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

A few years ago, Chen Zhiyao took the fishing boat driver’s license test right after the college entrance examination.

However, she hasn't driven a boat for three years since she sold the family's fishing boat, and has forgotten many things.

During the past two days out to sea, she was basically the one driving the boat, and her movements were obviously a little unfamiliar and nervous.

Fortunately, with the help of Grandpa Chen, a veteran, watching over us, nothing went wrong.

The fishing boat was very close to the location of the first fishing net, so Grandpa Chen let her drive the boat alone.

Without the old man to help remind her, Chen Zhiyao was obviously more nervous when driving the boat and seemed to be in a mess.

Fortunately, they were safe and sound and soon arrived at the rocky beach in the shallow water.

There was a small crane at the stern of the ship, which pulled up the sticky net with small holes in a short while.

The sticky nets are mostly filled with small fish that live under the reefs, and the species are quite diverse.

Afraid that the fish would lose vitality after being taken out of the water, the two men quickly untied the fish from the first fishing net.

Most of them are red sea bream, black sea bream and white pomfret, and there are also a small number of worthless small fish.

Most of the red sea bream and black sea bream weigh more than one kilogram, with only two larger ones weighing around two and a half kilograms.

White pomfret is a bit bigger, generally around two kilograms.

The catch was enough to fill a live fish bucket, weighing about 40 kilograms, and there were also about 10 kilograms of worthless small fish.

The grandfather and grandson moved very efficiently and all the valuable fish were collected and put into the live water tank.

The worthless fish were randomly put into buckets, just to be used as bait in crab cages and ground traps tomorrow.

Chen Zhiyao thought about the catch from the first net, which must be worth at least one or two thousand yuan, so she quickly woke up the little dream in her mind:

"Xiao Meng, do these fish caught with sticky nets count as points for fishing?"

"Yes, except for the fish caught from fishing, which is counted separately, the fish caught from other sources are all counted as part of the sea catching and can all be counted towards points."

Chen Zhiyao was particularly happy when she knew that the fish caught in the fishing net would also count as points.

According to her current earning rate, she will be able to upgrade to the third level of the sea-hunting system in a few days.

Unlocking the fishing section is just around the corner.

I guess I’ll be able to buy back the lucky fishing rod I had my eye on before soon.

Grandpa Chen, who was standing by, saw his granddaughter was in a daze, and gently patted her shoulder and urged her:

"What are you daydreaming about? Didn't you say you were going to collect the crab pots?"

"Yes, yes, we need to collect the traps."

Although Chen Zhiyao's consciousness entered the sea-hunting system in her mind, she could still sense the situation outside. As soon as Grandpa Chen spoke, she reacted.

There are 5 crab pots in this area. The first one has no crabs in it, almost all of them are octopuses.

Octopus is not very expensive, but it is delicious when stir-fried or cooked with seafood noodles.

There weren’t many of them, so Chen Zhiyao packed up these little guys separately and prepared to take them home.

The crab cages at the back had better harvests, mostly orchid crabs and blue crabs, as well as a few small cuttlefish.

Chen Zhiyao made a rough estimate and found that there was 1 jin of octopus, 2 jin of cuttlefish, 3 jin of orchid crab and 3 jin of blue crab.

I don’t know if it’s because they were released at the wrong time, but the harvest from these crab cages is much worse than that from the mangrove traps.

Soon after, the fishing boat stopped on the outskirts of the deep-water rocky beach, and Chen Weiqiang, who was concentrating on fishing, could be seen from afar.

The fishing net was quickly pulled up by the crane, and it was apparent to the naked eye that the catch was more than that of the first net.

When the fishing net was pulled up, looking around, it was basically all gray-black fish.

The schools of turbot on the reef beach are probably all coming here. There are quite a few turbot weighing about two kilograms on the fishing net.

It took them another half an hour to finally remove all the fish from the fishing net.

In addition to a few white pomfret and black croaker, the turbot filled two large buckets.

Although the price of turbot is not high, its weight is twice as much as before. The overall price is estimated to be similar to that of the first net.

However, the crab cage here gave Chen Zhiyao a surprise.

The first crab cage that was pulled up contained two small green crabs weighing nearly one pound.

Just these two green guys are worth as much as the harvest from the previous five traps.

The harvest of the next four earthworms was also good. She also harvested two conger eels, a 4-jin pearl grouper, and several kilograms of crabs.

The grandfather and grandson had just sorted the various fish by species when they suddenly heard a loud "splash" coming from the front.

Amidst the huge waves, the two saw Chen Weiqiang who was fishing on the shore.

Somehow, he jumped into the water.

The two were very anxious, so they quickly put on their life jackets and paddled in their kayaks to find him.

As the kayak got closer, the two finally figured out what was going on.

At this time, Chen Weiqiang was holding the half-broken fishing rod tightly in his hand, while the big fish in the sea was still struggling desperately.

Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but admire how hard her father worked for fishing.

Without saying a word, the two of them rowed their boat over to help.

Fortunately, the fish in the sea had little strength left at this time, and soon the three of them pulled it onto the kayak.

After the fish was pulled up, Chen Zhiyao opened her mouth wide. It turned out to be a giant pearl grouper weighing about 10 kilograms.

This was the first time she had seen such a big grouper.

Although this guy looks a bit ugly, if he can grow to this size, the price will probably double.

At this time, Chen Weiqiang was all wet, with many scratches from the reefs on his body, but his face looked full of excitement.

Such a big grouper almost got away with it, but luckily he was quick and jumped down after it.

Grandpa Chen looked at his heartless son and couldn't help muttering to himself.

But at this time, Chen Weiqiang was holding the 10-jin grouper and grinning foolishly, as happy as Ah Huang at home, and had no time to pay attention to him at all.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the fishing boat, and the three of them quickly returned to the fishing boat.

Grandpa Chen threw a set of spare clothes to his son with a look of disgust and told him to change quickly.

But when he turned around, his eyes were filled with envy.

It’s a 10-jin grouper, how come he can’t touch it?

Chen Zhiyao caught only small fish today, and she was actually very envious at this moment.

Thinking of the little blue dragons and mouse spots on the boat, I felt a little better. At least I earned money and points.

All in all, the one who had the worst catch today was Grandpa Chen. Although he caught a big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, it was a worthless sea wolf.

Chen Zhiyao glanced at the old man with a gloating look. The small amount of fish caught today might not even be enough for a dinner tomorrow.

Come back home

On the return trip, it was still Chen Zhiyao driving the boat.

After two days of training, she has gradually regained her feel for the car and can drive quite well.

Seagull Island is very close to the village, but it takes a long detour to get to the pier in the town.

It took Chen Zhiyao nearly an hour and a half to drive the fishing boat to the town's dock.

At this time, Boss Xiao Yang was already standing next to the car at the purchasing station, waiting anxiously.
