Chapter 463: Ready to Go All Out

Hu Zi's big head is too slippery.

Wu An couldn't keep his balance and slid straight into the seawater.

Then Hu Zi went to bump him again.

After a few rounds, Wu An finally got a bit of experience, sliding to the dorsal fin position, his whole body lying on Hu Zi's back, then he pressed his legs together, gripping the dorsal fin.

This way, as long as Hu Zi doesn't flip over, he basically won't fall off.

Steady his posture.

Wu An patted Hu Zi and said, "Hu Zi, let's go."

Hu Zi let out a cry and immediately dove into the seawater.

Gui Ge also dove into the sea; although he's a turtle, he's actually not slow, leading the way straight to the seabed.

Wu An felt like he was on a high-speed train, astonishingly fast.

If it weren't for Hu Zi's dorsal fin, he would have long been swept away by the current.

……

On the shore.

Lao Fu Tou and the two others stared at each other.

Hu Zi took Wu An down to dive, and they weren't so worried anymore.

A Qing said enviously, "Brother, you're way too handsome."

Mei Wu: "Yeah, riding a Killer Whale down to dive... who would believe that if we told anyone?"

This is the open sea.

Not in an aquarium.

These wild Killer Whales may be smart, but they're no pushovers.

Lao Fu Tou said, "Maybe that Killer Whale escaped from an aquarium."

Mei Wu shook his head: "Even if Hu Zi had special training at the aquarium, why does he only listen to A An?"

Lao Fu Tou fell silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's just because of his looks."

Mei Wu: "Is A An that good-looking?"

A Qing: "A Wu Ge, my older brother is better-looking than us."

Mei Wu: "……"

What else could he say?

The truth is a fast blade.

They reached the seabed.

Gui Ge started swimming close to the seabed; after over twenty meters, he climbed onto a patch of coral and pointed with his flippers at a nearby coral patch.

Wu An felt a bit uncomfortable, but could still endure.

Slipping off Hu Zi's back, he stirred up some seabed sand and silt, which didn't affect visibility much; he tugged and found that attached to the coral cluster was a fishing net.

It looked like a trawling net.

Gui Ge lay on the fishing net, sticking out his head to search; soon he bit off a small piece of ambergris and spat it toward Wu An, who picked it up and confirmed it was ambergris.

He hurried to Gui Ge's position, reached out and touched it—it felt fine and smooth, unlike coral.

Ambergris!

He pulled hard on the fishing net, but it wouldn't budge; it was snagged on the coral, and with just his strength he couldn't move it, and pulling might damage the coral.

He grabbed the ambergris that Gui Ge had bitten off and swam upward; seeing this, Hu Zi rushed over and swiftly brought him to the surface.

Soon.

They broke the surface.

Just as he was about to call A Qing to help him up, Hu Zi gave him a hard bump, sending him straight to the boat's side; he slid smoothly and landed steadily on the deck.

This sight made A Qing and Mei Wu howl with excitement.

A Qing: "Brother, could you tell Hu Zi to let us have a turn too?"

Even those two, Lao Fu Tou was a bit eager.

Wu An turned back and said a few words to Hu Zi, who then turned and left.

A Qing: "……"

Mei Wu just sighed.

Lao Fu Tou shook his head helplessly.

Wu An took out the ambergris and said, "Let's see what this is."

A Qing took it, looked, and exclaimed in delight, "It's ambergris, Brother—did you find it down there?"

Wu An nodded.

A Qing jumped up and down excitedly; Mei Wu was also overjoyed, muttering, "We're rich, we're rich."

Lao Fu Tou asked, "How big is it?"

Wu An shook his head: "Can't be sure, but it's pretty big—there's a fishing net on the seabed caught on the coral, and the ambergris got tangled in it; Gui Ge and the others were biting off pieces through the holes in the net."

Lao Fu Tou said, "If that's the case, you definitely can't do it alone; we'll have to go down and help."

"Let's head back."

"Let's go back and get the equipment."

After saying that, he felt a bit embarrassed; earlier, when Wu An suddenly said they should head back, he had been complaining in his mind about youngsters being unstable, lacking resolve, doing things on a whim—and now he himself had said the same thing.

Wu An nodded, then checked the time.

It was already just past 3 p. m.

If we go back at this point, it'll be almost dark soon; at night we definitely can't do diving work. They're not professionals, and even with Hu Zi nearby it's still very dangerous.

He shouted to Hu Zi: "Brother Gui, Hu Zi, meet here at first light tomorrow morning."

Hu Zi nodded.

He called out twice and headed toward the Orca Pod.

This time, when he returned to the Orca Pod he wasn't reprimanded.

For the killer whales, hunting is one of the most important things; they ate so happily today, knowing Hu Zi brought a fishing boat over and wasn't just messing around.

Brother Gui also nodded, and waved a fin at Wu An to say goodbye.

……

The fishing boat raced back at full speed.

But even with a whole boatload of seafood, no matter how fast, it didn't reach the dock until just after five o'clock.

This trip was mainly to install a blower and oxygen pipe on the fishing boat; to ensure it could be done as quickly as possible, he directly used a satellite phone to contact repair shop Li Shu.

Li Shu asked, "In such a hurry?"

Wu An said, "Li Shu, I won't pretend to be polite; I'm really in a hurry. I'm heading out to sea at four or five in the morning tomorrow; see if you can get it done?"

Li Shu replied, "Alright, it's doable."

"I'll get in touch."

"When you arrive at the dock, I'll bring people to work."

Wu An happily said, "Li Shu, thanks, give me a quote."

Li Shu said, "The price varies; there are ones in the thousands and some in the tens of thousands."

"I'll go check for you and pick the one with the best cost-performance."

Wu An responded with a nod.

He hung up the phone.

The fishing boat headed straight for Zhen Matou.

A Jin took the cargo.

He exchanged greetings, and A Jin found five helpers, first moving the shrimp and crab down; it was a little over a thousand jin in total. A Jin saw a whole boat of silver pomfret and was overjoyed.

"Whoa, such high-quality silver pomfret?"

"How did this get here?"

"It doesn't look like it came from an adhesive net."

Wu An explained, "We cast the net; luck brought a school of fish, and we hauled them up directly."

A Jin suddenly understood and said, "Brother An, your luck is downright abnormal."

"My god, so many."

"Even a trawler might not haul as much as your little boat."

"I can pay 100 yuan per jin for these silver pomfret."

Wu An, surprised, "That expensive?"

A Jin laughed, "I won't hide it from you; at this price, we can still earn at least a third profit."

"With such a large quantity, it can only be assigned to secondary dealers."

"Just earn a bit less."

Wu An nodded.

It's his money, he earns it; the extra money he has no particular thoughts on. Watching A Jin make a call, he quickly arranged for the silver pomfret to be sold, thinking that this channel's profit should go to Brother Qiang.

While loading the cargo, Li Shu arrived with people; the equipment cost ten thousand yuan.

Wu An saw that four people came, and gave each an extra two hundred yuan as overtime pay.

He processed the catch.

It was already dark; the shrimp and crab were mainly mantis shrimp, orchid crab, and green crab, all fetching good prices, especially mantis shrimp, which are scarce in the market, so their price is up by a third compared to before.

The silver pomfret, called 'big head', totaled 1,900 jin, and that alone was sold.

All of this was brought by Hu Zi.

After receiving the money, Wu An divided the accounts directly: this trip earned a total of 230,000 yuan, A Qing got 23,000, Mei Wu and Lao Fu Tou each got 11,500, the accounts settled, everyone went home, and Wu An told them to rest well.

There's a tough battle to fight tomorrow!
