Chapter 629: Following the Dolphins to Catch People

~7 min read 1,384 words

Wu An was very happy.

Everyone was also excited, thinking about being able to catch Ma Weiqun with their own hands; even Lao Fu Tou pushed the fishing boat's engine to the limit.

They wished they could press the throttle all the way into the cylinder!

"Brother, this is fate's arrangement."

"Even if Ma Weiqun were even more formidable, he couldn't escape your demonic claws."

"You are his nemesis."

""How does that saying go again, 'Since Yu was born, why was Liang born?'" A Qing said, getting more and more excited."

Wu An hurriedly interrupted him: "Enough, the more you say, the less you catch."

"This is the worst time Zhou Yu has been blackened."

However.

Being able to catch Ma Weiqun and put an end to their grudge with our own hands is not bad.

The fishing boat went full speed ahead.

Watching the dolphins darting back and forth on both sides of the boat, occasionally letting out calls.

Wu An said he was a sea king, so nobody should object, right?

Seeing everyone was pretty idle and there wasn't much to do, Wu An had A Qing fetch all the fishing gear.

Everyone had set out to sea after resting, and up to now there hasn't been much activity; we're bursting with energy and have nowhere to vent.

Going after Ma Weiqun now is a top priority; it's impossible to halfway deploy trawling as a delay.

But free-flow fishing is fine.

Although at this speed, free-flow fishing will definitely be affected.

But what does it matter?

Anyway, he's going to cheat.

Upon learning that Wu An was organizing the fishing, everyone responded enthusiastically; as a result, space at the stern is limited, accommodating at most three people baiting at once.

Besides Lao Fu Tou needing to steer the boat, the six of us discussed and split into two teams.

Wu An, A Qing, and Mei Wu together; Fu Yongning and the Fan brothers together.

Whoever catches a fish steps out and is replaced by the next.

You ask what if no one catches a fish?

When the time is up, we definitely have to switch.

A Qing and Fu Yongning played rock-paper-scissors; with bad luck, they were instantly defeated.

A Qing cheated, insisting on best two out of three.

As a result, they lost three times in a row; not only did they lose, they also lost face.

Although Wu An and Mei Wu were a pair with him, they also wildly mocked him.

This made A Qing furious.

Fu Yongning's trio quickly cast their lines and baited.

The line came out quickly.

With the Luck Boost, the three quickly hooked fish, and happily pulled them up to see.

They were all Sea Wolf Fish.

This thing is fairly common, the price is relatively cheap, but for sport fishing it feels quite good.

Fu Yongning's trio all looked down on it; they weren't fishing for me, but to make money.

Wu An said: "Not bad, they're pretty big."

"A Qing, be careful when you net the fish."

"Don't let the fish bite you."

He's not joking; the Sea Wolf Fish is quite ferocious, its two rows of teeth are quite intimidating, and a bite to the hand can definitely tear off a chunk of flesh.

It's said that when starving, this creature will even dare to attack sharks.

Once A Qing had netted the fish, Mei Wu grabbed a stick and struck it "thud-thud" a few times, and the Sea Wolf Fish immediately went still.

Weighed it.

The three Sea Wolf Fish together weighed twenty-four catties; at ten dollars per catty, that's over two hundred dollars.

From preparing the gear to landing the fish, the total time didn't exceed ten minutes.

At this rate, we could make over a thousand dollars in an hour.

Better than nothing, I guess.

Fu Yongning's trio, feeling a bit dejected, walked aside and made room for A Qing's trio.

A Qing went over, constantly praying to the gods and buddhas, looking all mystic.

Muttering incantations, he asked Mazu to just send a few tuna.

Wu An slapped him to stop his chanting, saying: "Hurry up and fish, don't do all that nonsense."

A Qing said "oh" and cast the last line.

Wu An soon hooked a fish.

He pulled up a Sea Bass; at the surface, the Sea Bass was still struggling desperately, frantically flaring its gills.

However, facing the gear boosted with Luck Value, it was all in vain.

If we let the Sea Bass successfully flare its gills and escape, where would the system's face go?

The Sea Bass was still quite big; Wu An had to put in some effort to bring it up.

Weighed it.

31 catties!

Pretty good, one fish equals the sea wolf fish caught by Fu Yongning and his three companions.

Mei Wu's luck was also good; he pulled up a sea wolf fish, though it was big, weighing 20 catties.

This made Fu Yongning and his three companions extremely envious.

A Qing was the last to get a bite; the fishing rod was almost pulled down to the sea surface, making him shout excitedly, the fish he caught was definitely not small.

Immediately activated the electric winch.

A buzzing sound of line reeling in rang out.

He pulled up a bigeye tuna, which made A Qing extremely impressed.

Hands on hips, he said: "Look, look, praying to the gods is useful, right?"

Wu An was speechless.

Damn.

Let this kid show off.

Switching to Fu Yongning and his three, they followed suit, and indeed, what they pulled up were all big catches.

It must be a school of fish they happened upon, with tuna and the sea feeding.

Wu An watched for a while, found it boring, and had A Qing bring out the lounge chair.

He brewed tea and sat on the lounge chair.

He put on sunglasses.

The feeling just came.

When it was time to rotate, Wu An didn't want to move, so he gave the chance to Fu Yongning.

Fu Yongning was very happy.

Wu An used not to believe it, but seeing Fu Yongning like this, he couldn't help but sigh: working really can be addictive.

After several rotations, the walkie-talkie transmitted Lao Fu Tou's voice: "A An, we're near Xuan Ya Dao."

Wu An stood up and took a look.

The resources around Xuan Ya Dao are not bad either, but the sea conditions are complex, unsuitable for trawling, and we haven't been here for a while.

After observing for a while, are there any fishing boats operating nearby?

The area they often worked in was actually where other fishing boats were unwilling to go, and that's exactly why they could reap a bountiful harvest.

After passing Xuan Ya Dao, the fishing boat's course headed east.

Lao Fu Tou said: "If we keep going like this, we'll soon be near the midline."

Wu An nodded: "That's right."

After all, the situation over there is more complex, and from there it's indeed easier to escape abroad.

Lao Fu Tou said with some concern: "Ma Yiqun probably isn't panicking and choosing a route at random."

He has chosen to escape from this side.

He might have someone to meet him.

Wu An immediately realized: "Old Fu, are you worried about the people on the other side?"

Lao Fu Tou responded with an affirmation.

Wu An thought: "Things happened suddenly; I think even if Ma Weiqun runs away, even with someone to meet him, it would probably take time to arrange."

As long as he hasn't escaped to the other side.

As long as he's still on our turf, he can't even think of running.

There was still something unsaid afterward: even if Ma Weiqun ran to the other side, as long as there's a chance, he would also capture Ma Weiqun and bring him back.

Everyone learned that Ma Weiqun likely fled to near the midline, and immediately suspected he was helping the other side.

Wu An neither confirmed nor denied.

Actually, there's no difference; those people over there are just others' dogs.

They've always been eyeing us covetously, constantly causing trouble; on the surface it seems to be those unreliable locals nearby, but in fact, behind them are the same group of people.
