Chapter 567: Let the Dolphin Deliver a Message

Not a moment.

The dolphin group that had been bobbing unpredictably to the left front of the fishing boat gradually disappeared, and Wu An shrugged: "These dolphins might be a bit timid."

He couldn't help muttering to himself, "This dolphin is clearly as clever as a killer whale, so why won't it pay attention to him?"

Is the hook not working?

That shouldn't be the case.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the sea directly ahead of the fishing boat, and graceful figures darted out of the water, swimming in small groups back and forth in front of the boat.

"Brother, brother, brother, quick look, they've all come because you called them."

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

"I want to film it."

A Qing shouted excitedly, holding up his phone and leaning over the boat's edge; the dolphins' streamlined bodies glittered in the sunlight, and some mischievous ones suddenly flicked their tails near the shore, splashing seawater onto the boat, catching everyone off guard and drenching them.

A Qing almost dropped his phone into the sea, wiped the seawater off his face, spat "ptui ptui ptui", and shouted, "Brother, these dolphins are too mischievous."

"We don't mind getting wet, but we got you wet too."

"I can't stand this; another day you let Hu Zi teach these dolphins a lesson."

Wu Anle laughed heartily; hearing A Qing say that, he actually had a favor to ask of the dolphins.

He certainly wasn't looking for a killer whale to deal with these mischievous dolphins; he wanted the dolphins to deliver a message to Hu Zi, asking Hu Zi to come find him.

He told A Qing and Mei Wu to go get ice cubes.

When the dolphins came close, he threw ice cubes at them.

At first, the dolphins were a bit bewildered, but later they learned well and could calmly catch the small ice chunks thrown down.

Into their mouths.

Crunchy.

The dolphins that ate the ice chips made sounds, and Wu An could feel they were happy and pleased; other dolphins also gathered around.

He fed them a round of ice chips, then some squid.

After the dolphins had eaten and drunk their fill, he picked up a loudspeaker and called out to the dolphin pod.

He didn't bother checking whether the dolphins could hear him; he just pleaded with them anyway.

Short on manpower, short on food.

The dolphins.

You dolphins are all face-conscious fish.

Keep this matter in mind for me.

Wu An directly laid on a PUA routine.

A Qing excitedly pointed at one of the dolphins, his face full of surprise, and shouted, "Brother, this dolphin seems to be nodding in response to you."

Wu An looked over; the dolphin that appeared to be nodding was the largest among them.

It also seemed the most spirited.

Wu An, seeing this, also felt a bit worried: "Of course, if the killer whale isn't friendly, you'd better not get close—run away quickly."

In his previous life, he had watched plenty of videos.

The killer whale, that slippery ocean creature, is both sly and fierce; even a starving great white shark would attack it, and if it kills something, it eats it—dolphins are no exception.

Killer whales do attack dolphins.

Of course.

Sometimes killer whales and dolphins cooperate to hunt.

Wu An certainly doesn't want his actions to lead to dolphins being attacked and harmed by killer whales.

The largest dolphin leapt out of the water and nodded again.

Wu An laughed and waved his hand: "Alright, you shouldn't linger here; our fishing boat is at work, so be careful not to get hurt—hurry on your way."

The largest dolphin called out twice, and the dolphins gathered, chasing each other, playing, flipping, spinning, leaping; one after another they jumped out of the water, spun twice in the air, then fell back in.

In the deep blue sea, these dolphins truly seemed like spirits of the ocean.

Wu An remarked, the performance traces were quite heavy.

But it really was wonderful to watch.

A Qing and the others shouted excitedly.

Wu An laughed and said, "Watching this for free is just delightful."

Fu Yongning muttered approvingly, "It's already rare to encounter a dolphin pod at sea, let alone see them put on such an earnest performance."

It's practically a miracle.

After the dolphin pod had departed, Wu An looked at the video Fan Dali had filmed and said, "Not bad."

"If we post it online someday, and if luck is on our side, it might even go viral."

"Xiao Zhu, you can give it a try."

Fan Dali shook his head: "If anyone's going to try, it should be you."

Wu An said, "I don't want to be an internet celebrity; you're articulate enough, and people see you as honest and sincere, so you can give it a shot—if you have any questions, just ask me."

Although he had never been an internet celebrity himself, he had watched a lot.

Now short videos are beginning to rise, internet celebrities are emerging, but there's still a long way to go; Wu An recalls that in his previous life he enjoyed playing games and could earn quite a bit by watching game streamers sell pork floss buns.

Fan Dali let out an "oh".

Old Fu Tou called him.

Wu An hurried to the helm and asked, "Old Fu, what's up?"

Old Fu Tou said, "Just now we passed a small sea trench with a drop of about thirty to forty meters; should we lift the nets to take a look?"

Wu An nodded: "Then let's start."

Just now the dolphin show, you should have come to watch it.

Lao Fu Tou smiled: "I also saw it here; encountering a dolphin pod is a good omen. Look over there, the bird flock indicates there are fish nearby."

I estimate those squid and octopus we caught in the previous net were driven into our net by these dolphins.

Start hauling the second net.

Soon.

The net bag was hauled up; this net took a bit longer, the luck value had already been emptied long ago, and watching the dolphin show I forgot about this.

Although it took longer, the net bag wasn't as bulging as the previous one.

Mei Wu went to untie the net.

With a hard pull, the catch spilled out with a clatter.

Why are they all like this?

Holy shit!

This net is full of poisonous creatures!

Tiger fish, lion fish, flower gold drum, and even stink belly fish, of course there's also pufferfish; actually that's the most harmless among them.

At least grabbing them by hand won't cause trouble, but if you grab those tiger fish and lion fish and get poisoned, it could leave you wishing for death but unable to die.

It could kill a person.

Fu Yongning gulped nervously and shouted: "What the hell is going on!"

How could it all be like this?

Normally they wouldn't gather together like this.

Wu An's eyes shifted as he said: "Just now Lao Fu said we passed a small sea trench; maybe we just happened to encounter these poisonous creatures holding a meeting."

Fu Yongning didn't respond; there's no way to respond to that.

A Qing found the lion fish interesting and wanted to touch it: "This is the lion fish; it looks pretty domineering, covered in hair."

Fu Yongning shouted: "Don't touch it at all!"

A Qing quickly pulled his hand back.

Wu An looked at the poisonous creatures on the deck, also feeling a headache; he didn't want to explain, couldn't explain, and if he said he was cheating, nobody would believe him.

Lao Fu Tou came out to look, also clicking his tongue in amazement.

On this boat, you really can see all kinds of rare sights.

Everyone be careful when sorting, use tongs.

When using the tongs also be careful; these fish are poisonous and also valuable.

Look at this lion fish, pretty, right? If sold as an ornamental fish, this one could fetch several hundred.

Hearing Lao Fu Tou say that, everyone wasn't so timid anymore.

In their eyes, these aren't fish, they're money!
