After lunch, Captain Xie and the sailors rested for a while before starting the yacht and continuing their voyage. Zhou Xin yawned and went back to her room for a nap. Fang Yang was too embarrassed to follow her and chose to lie on the sofa instead.

Fang Yang ate a bit too much at lunch and drank some alcohol. The rocking of the yacht was like a lullaby, and he unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa, emitting soft snores.

When Fang Yang woke up, he found that the yacht was gradually slowing down. He checked the time and realized that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was gradually setting in the west. He stretched and walked out of the hall. The heat outside was not so hot under the sea breeze!

Climbing up to the rooftop, there were several deck chairs placed under the sunshade, which looked quite nice. The white deck chairs were very clean, so they must be cleaned every day.

Fang Yang found a deck chair nearby and lay down. Perhaps because the yacht had slowed down, the wind wasn't very strong, but it was still a bit uncomfortable to blow into his eyes, and the sunlight reflecting off the sea was a bit dazzling.

Fang Yang took out the sunglasses he had prepared before going out to sea and put them on. All his discomfort disappeared. The faint smell of the sea drifted in with the wind, which made Fang Yang, who had lived by the sea for a long time, feel a sense of familiarity.

When Zhou Xin woke up, she came over and saw Fang Yang lying on the deck chair. She laughed and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself, coming here to enjoy the sea breeze!"

Fang Yang took off his sunglasses and handed them over, saying, "You didn't bring sunglasses, so use these first, otherwise the sunlight will be too bright for you to bear later."

"No need, you wear it, I'll go down and get it."

"Here you go. The boat is about to stop. We'll go fishing together later, and then we'll need to apply sunscreen and wear sun-protective clothing. Use this for now."

"Okay, then! By the way, do you know how to fish?"

"Sure, I've fished before, it shouldn't be a problem!" Fang Yang thought of the advanced fishing skills the system had given him. He should be able to do it, unless there were no fish down there. He wasn't X-ray vision, so there was nothing he could do about it.

After idling for a while, the boat finally came to a complete stop. Captain Xie came aboard and asked, "Mr. Fang, this is an excellent fishing spot that our company has discovered. How about we take a dip?"

Fang Yang stood up from the recliner. "Okay, let's go down and get ready. We'll be right there."

"You should go to the bow of the boat. Since it's not a professional fishing boat, you can only cast your line from the bow and stern. It's easier to cast from the bow. I'll bring you the fishing rods and bait in a bit!"

"Alright, then thank you Captain Xie. We'll head down now."

After saying goodbye to Captain Xie, the two went to their bedroom, took out sunscreen, and applied it to their faces and hands. The ultraviolet rays at sea are so strong that if they don't apply sunscreen for a day, they will be noticeably tanned and look terrible tomorrow.

Wearing sun-protective clothing, non-slip shoes, sunglasses, and fisherman's hats, the two fully armed men arrived at the bow of the boat. Captain Xie had already prepared fishing rods, bait, a water tank, and ice, and even two small stools.

Fang Yang took the fishing rod and examined it closely. It was a high-quality sea fishing rod, and judging from the type of fishing line, it could easily handle catching a large fish weighing forty or fifty pounds.

The baits included krill, baby octopus, and sandworms—all standard baits. For more unusual baits, you had to make your own. Fang Yang wasn't there for professional fishing; he was just out for sightseeing, so he didn't have high standards.

Zhou Xin had never fished before, so she had to start from scratch. Fang Yang demonstrated for her once, but seeing how confused she looked, he figured she wouldn't learn it in a short time, so he simply took over the task for her.

Fang Yang threaded krill onto all three hooks, cast the line precisely fifty meters ahead, locked the reel, tied the safety line to the railing, and then handed the fishing rod to Zhou Xin, instructing her: "Just watch that bell. When a fish takes the bait, the bell will ring. When you feel the rod sinking, pull it up a bit. That way, the hook will catch the fish's mouth, making it less likely to get away!"

Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I know. Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a big meal when I catch a big fish!"

Fang Yang laughed and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your big fish. They say fishing has a beginner's advantage, maybe I'll really have to rely on your seafood to improve my meals today?"

"Really? Okay, watch me today. I'm sure I'll catch a big one. I've always had good luck."

Okay, keep it up!

Fang Yang also baited his fishing rod with krill, cast the bait to the other side, locked the pulley, and then sat quietly on a small stool to wait.

"Hey Fang Yang, let me see this! I'm going to get the camera. I almost forgot, fishing without sharing on WeChat Moments is soulless!"

Fang Yang chuckled and said, "Okay, go ahead. I'll definitely take some beautiful photos of you later, and they'll amaze your friends on social media!"

Seeing Zhou Xin hurriedly grab the camera, Fang Yang shook his head and quietly guarded the two fishing rods. It was his first time going sea fishing, and he was very excited. Big fish, come to my fishing rod!

When Zhou Xin returned, Fang Yang's fishing rod rang with a "ring-a-ling" sound. Fang Yang held the fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Seeing that Fang Yang didn't lift the rod, Zhou Xin asked in confusion, "Didn't the bell ring? Why aren't you lifting the rod?"

Fang Yang pointed to the float and said, "See that float? It's only trembling slightly, which means either it's a small fish and the hook is too big for it to swallow, or the fish is testing the bait and will swallow it if it feels there's no danger."

"Wow, there's so much to know about fishing! I've learned so much! Now, what do we do?"

"Of course we'll wait!"

Fang Yang stared intently at the float. When the float sank, he felt a pull on the fishing rod in his hand, knowing that the fish had taken the bait. He flicked the rod, and the hook pierced deep into the fish's mouth. The fish, in pain, pulled on the fishing line and swam towards the depths of the sea.

The fishing line was locked, and the fishing rod was instantly pulled straight, causing Fang Yang to lurch forward and almost be pulled into the sea. Fortunately, there was a gunwale in front of him, and Fang Yang used his knee to brace himself and unlock the fishing line lock.
