Chapter 537: Attracted the Big Guys

Lao Fu Tou came over, inspected the catch, and said, "I said, why do I have to come see?"

"Huang San, Mei Tong, quite a mix."

"If we sort too finely, we might not be able to keep up."

Wu An said, "Then let's just sort roughly."

Lao Fu Tou nodded, gave a sample; each type was definitely sorted out, then also sorted into large and small specifications, after which he returned to the control room to relieve Fu Yongning, who was currently conducting netting operations; after all, they were in unfamiliar waters, so he still had to personally oversee.

Everyone now had a count, and they quietly got to work.

Not knowing how long the sorting had taken, Wu An's ears twitched as he heard a crackling sound that grew denser; his waist was already sore from sorting, so he stood up to look and stretch.

He walked to the ship's side, followed the sound backward, and was stunned to see the sea surface looking like boiling water; Wu An was no novice at sea, and at a glance he realized it was caused by a school of fish gathering and flopping on the surface.

He hurried to the stern to look.

Good grief!

The fishing boat moved forward, and the fish school seemed to be chasing from behind.

"Are these fish crazy? Why won't they come?"

Wu An, surprised and doubtful, opened the system and saw that the Luck Boost given to the fishing boat was decreasing; then he suddenly realized that the fish were being hard-controlled by the Luck Value, or rather attracted.

He called for Fu Yongning.

Fu Yongning saw the fish flopping on the sea surface and was stunned; in broad daylight, what were these fish doing? But quickly he saw clearly and shouted, "Holy shit, they're flying fish!"

Wu An was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of a flying shadow from the corner of his eye; before he could react, with a "pah" it struck his body; lowering his head, he saw it was a fish.

Wu An bent over, picked up the fish, and said, "Is this fish crazy?"

Fu Yongning said, "They're not crazy; these fish just can fly."

The next moment.

His face changed dramatically.

Wu An hurriedly turned his head and saw not far away the boiling sea surface, with flying fish breaking through the air, forming a scene like a thousand arrows firing together above the sea.

He was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this!

Fu Yongning grabbed him and ran toward the control room, shouting, "Stop sorting, stop sorting!"

"Hurry up and run."

"Carry the box and run over with it on your head."

He shouted while running into the control room.

Mei Wu and the Fan brothers stood up, looking over blankly; however, A Qing heard Fu Yongning's shout, reacted quickly, dumped some fish from his nearby fish basket, and then placed them on his head.

The next moment.

Countless flying fish pattered down onto the fishing boat.

On the gunwales, deck, and wheelhouse, it was like hail falling.

Fortunately, it was only flying fish falling.

A Qing and the others, bearing the flying fish, ran into the control room.

Mei Wu and the others didn't have time to grab the fish basket; upon rushing in, they still had two flying fish dangling from their hair.

Watching the dense flying fish fall onto the ship, not only Wu An and the others, but even Lao Fu Tou wore a look of astonishment; obviously, such a sight is not common.

Listening to everyone's amazed discussion.

Wu An remained silent.

He felt a bit guilty; if nothing unexpected happened, these flying fish were attracted to the fishing boat by its Luck Boost.

He took the flying fish and examined it.

He lifted the flying fish's pectoral fin, which was unusually large, truly like a pair of wings, flashing a unique silver sheen in the sunlight, very beautiful.

Lao Fu Tou looked for a moment, then suddenly rose and said, "A An, you take my place."

"I'll go check it out."

"Yongning, come with me."

Soon.

Lao Fu Tou and Fu Yongning left the control room; the two came to the ship's side, Lao Fu Tou took hold of the scoop net and heaved it forcefully toward the sea surface, after which he and Fu Yongning pulled on the rope.

Not long after, they hauled up a big fish.

A Qing saw this and hurried over.

Not long after, he came back, excitedly shouting, "Brother, Lao Fu said these flying fish are abnormal; it's because there's a big fish hunting in the sea, and he just used the scoop net to bring up a ghost blade fish."

"Besides the ghost blade fish, there's also tuna."

Wu An blinked: "Tuna?"

A Qing nodded vigorously: "Right, the tuna is too big to use the scoop net; Lao Fu is thinking of a way."

Having said that, he turned and ran back onto the deck.

Mei Wu and the Fan brothers also went out; although the flying fish looked like they filled the sky, they actually posed little threat—just watch out so you don't get poked in the face by one.

Wu An still had to control the fishing boat, so he could only stay in the control room.

Flying fish kept leaping up and falling onto the deck, wave after wave, incessantly; he watched everyone using the scoop net, occasionally hauling up a big fish, but most of the catch remained flying fish.

The deck was already covered with a layer of flying fish, leaving no place to set foot.

From afar, it looked like a fish boat.

Wu An called A Qing over.

A Qing, panting, shook his head: "Brother, no, we can't bring in the tuna."

Wu An said, "Use a line."

As long as you can hook it, you can definitely pull it up.

A Qing scratched his head: "Will this work?"

Wu An said: "Give it a try."

A Qing ran out.

In a frantic rush, just like now, because of the flying fish, the whole ship is already in chaos.

Soon after.

Everyone held a fishing rod, picked up flying fish from the ground as bait and cast them out, but after a while nothing bit—no wonder, with the fishing boat surrounded by tens of thousands of flying fish, how could a tuna happen to bite the bait?

Unless.

Activate cheat.

Wu An thought for a moment, then called Lao Fu Tou: "Lao Fu, you steer the boat; I'll stay here and watch—this is really hard to bear."

Lao Fu Tou smiled: "Then you go."

Wu An ran out, picked up a fishing rod and maxed out his Luck Value, then under the pretense of checking the fishing rod, he gave everyone's fishing rod a Luck Boost, and then he tried casting one.

The bait had just fallen, before the line was even released, the rod tip suddenly sank.

Hooked!

Wu An immediately lifted the fishing rod, gave a strong jerk, and directly pulled the fish out of the water.

The fish traced an arc in the air and slammed heavily onto the deck, scattering the nearby flying fish.

It's a tuna!

Fu Yongning saw: "It's a bigeye—"

He hadn't finished speaking when his fishing rod suddenly jerked, and he also hooked a fish!

Imitating Wu An's earlier move, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod and quickly pulled up a tuna; though small, it made Fu Yongning grin crookedly.

Wu An said: "No need to lengthen the line; these tuna hunt right at the surface—once hooked, just lift them straight up, like I did earlier, sending the fish flying onto the deck."

A Qing and Mei Wu didn't respond, because they had also each hooked a fish.

The Fan brothers, hearing Wu An's words, quickly reeled in, exerted great effort, and soon pulled up the fish.

Also a tuna!

Fu Yongning had intended to bait again, but one tuna after another was hauled in, so he could only focus on handling them, with no time to rebait.
