As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 456 - 312: The "Dragon King" of the Deep Sea_4

Chu Mingcheng, seeing that he agreed, quickly went to the cabin and took a picture of the White Jade Shell wrapped in a cotton quilt to prevent it from getting knocked around, and sent it to Wei Jiaguo.

When he saw the White Jade Shell that was almost as wide as a door, his eyes instantly lit up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Such a huge White Jade Shell, you’re really lucky, kid. Speaking of which, are you selling this White Jade Shell, Grandpa will buy it at a high price. We just happen to be missing some nice and rare decorations at home."

Just as expected, he was interested. Chu Mingcheng wasn’t surprised, but this time he refused.

"Grandpa, my old home was flattened and rebuilt; I’m in need of more decorations than your house. You leave this one to me!"

Wei Jiaguo pursed his lips in disappointment upon hearing this. There are companies in the country that specialize in salvaging White Jade Shells.

However, most of the White Jade Shells are too small, basically only twenty to thirty centimeters in width.

One as big as Chu Mingcheng’s was indeed quite rare and extremely well-preserved in its entirety, making it highly valuable for collectors.

Taking away someone’s favorite thing wasn’t something he could do, so he could only reluctantly let it go.

After settling the issue with the Golden Spearfish, Chu Mingcheng felt he had accomplished one task.

Next, he just had to follow the route northward to the area near the Yaeyama Islands. At most, he might catch some deep-sea fish or Groupers along the way.

It took Chu Mingcheng two days to go from the reported southeast to the northeast. During this time, he also encountered some trawlers from Treasure Island and other fishing boats from around the country.

Clearly, after this year’s military exercises, fishermen from other provinces also dared to fish in these waters.

However, after reaching the maritime boundary line to the west of the Yaeyama Islands on the Public Sea, he couldn’t find any more fishing boats and wasn’t sure what was going on.

Chu Mingcheng arrived in the area just after eight in the evening. The Public Sea wasn’t a good place for diving in search of sunken ships at night.

He wasn’t sure if people from other countries might sneak aboard and rob him at night. By then, he guessed he might not be there, and the boat could be sailed away.

Moreover, the visibility at night was particularly poor, so he didn’t plan on diving late at night.

But that didn’t interfere with his fishing. Having been on the road for the past two days, he hadn’t caught any particularly special fish, so tonight he might try his luck.

As usual, Chu Mingcheng first found a good spot to set down the crab and shrimp traps, then went to the nearby waters to fish.

The fish finder showed a school of fish at sixty meters below the water surface and another group at ten meters. How to fish was up to him.

Not having discovered any particularly large fish on the fish finder, Chu Mingcheng took out a lure rod he had bought before.

Since there was a school of fish on the upper layer of the water surface, he certainly wanted to fish the upper layer first.

After attaching the artificial bait, Chu Mingcheng flicked his wrist, gently casting it about twenty meters away.

He let it sink for three seconds, then began reeling in the line and lightly tapping the rod tip to keep the bait moving.

Sea fish, admittedly, are not too difficult to catch. The first rod’s bait was only reeled in ten meters when it was swallowed in one bite as the rod tip dipped.

The fierceness of the sea fish’s bite makes hooking them much easier than freshwater fish, but Chu Mingcheng still preferred fishing for sea fish.

Just then, the fishing rod bent into a deep curve. The fish was pulling very strongly, providing an excellent feel that freshwater fish simply cannot match.

The fishing rod seemed overwhelmed. Chu Mingcheng didn’t dare to use brute strength and instead resorted to long-unused technique.

He slightly opened the reel to relieve the pressure on the rod and didn’t rush to reel in the line, but started to play the fish.

Having used heavy boat rods for a long time, suddenly switching to this moderately hard lure rod, Chu Mingcheng felt very precisely the movements of the fish.

When the fish exerted force, he would tug left and right, making it very uncomfortable.

When it rested, he would lift the rod to reel in the line.

After more than ten minutes, he pulled a fish that was close to sixty centimeters in length and estimated to weigh over ten pounds to the side of the boat.

Looking at the pitch-black fish, Chu Mingcheng was taken aback. It was truly ugly.

But since it was a catch of his own, he still used the landing net to scoop it up.

After placing it on the deck and observing it more carefully, he felt that this Black Skin Knife, also known as the Stygian Longfin, wasn’t that unattractive after a while. In fact, its shiny black eyes seemed rather cute.
