Ocean: Sea Foraging Requires Luck, and I Happen to Have It

Bai Yu is a young man born in a small coastal fishing village. His birth is extraordinary because he is a transmigrator, arriving with memories from another life. However, for a transmigrator, memo...

Chapter 168 You Forced Me to Do This

After changing to a new fishing line, this situation did not disrupt Baiyu's fishing rhythm. Instead, he naturally baited the hook and continued fishing.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu just wanted to fish peacefully, but often at this time, a troublesome villain would appear to cause trouble and put pressure on him.

For example, Bai Yu at this moment only wanted to fish and didn't want to do anything else.

After changing to a new fishing line, he did fish steadily for a while, but not for long, only about half an hour.

In such a short time, Bai Yu had only caught three fish. Then his fishing rod suddenly bent, and the fishing line snapped in an instant.

It just broke...

The whole process was so fast that Bai Yu didn't make any extra movements. The moment the fishing rod bent down, his hand had just touched the rod when the fishing line snapped.

If Bai Yu's fishing rod hadn't been a beginner's reward from Tongzi, and if it weren't for its relatively good quality and not overly soft texture...

If it had been a too-soft fishing rod, Bai Yu might have been jolted by the rod's rebound force in this sudden turn of events.

If this were to happen, putting aside the pain, it would be incredibly embarrassing. What angler would get their line lashed by a fish?

Fortunately, that didn't happen; only the fishing line broke.

Hmm, I just changed the fishing line half an hour ago, and it broke twice again!

Fortunately, this time the fishing line didn't break after the cup was cleaned, but broke right away. So, although Bai Yu's fishing line was damaged, the loss was not significant and was still within a controllable range.

However, Bai Yu was not in a good mood at the moment. With the repeated disconnections, he felt like he was being targeted.

There were ten fishermen in the back half of the fishing boat, and three of them were right next to him. But among them, only Bai Yu's line broke.

And twice at that. If this isn't being targeted, what is it?

"Brother Fisherman, what's going on over there? How come two fishing lines broke in such a short time? Did a big fish come down? Do you think we should change the fishing lines? How about switching to lines for catching giant fish?"

After seeing Bai Yu's situation, Li Shuang, who was standing nearby, offered his views and suggestions on the current situation.

Bai Yu's fishing line broke twice, and he saw it both times. Their fishing spots were right next to each other, so if Bai Yu's fishing line could break, then his fishing line could easily break as well.

"Tsk, Shuangzi, I don't care if you guys change your fishing line or not, but I have to. This guy is really relentless. Breaking one line is bad enough, but the second one broke too."

And I didn't even have time to react before the fishing line snapped in an instant. Isn't this blatant provocation? How could I tolerate this?

Today I'm going to have a contest with this sea creature and see if its strength is greater, or if my new fishing line is the best!

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he took the reel off the fishing rod and started rummaging through his tackle bag.

Since the last time a 500-meter-long giant fishing line was snapped, Bai Yu had already upgraded his equipment. At least in terms of giant fishing lines, he had acquired several sets of fishing lines of different models and lengths.

Given the current situation, if Bai Yu is going to change his fishing line, he should just go for the full-size change in one go; there's no point in adding more and more sizes at once.

Bai Yu then took out a set of giant fishing lines with a tensile strength of 200 jin from his tackle bag. This fishing line was the second strongest among the fishing lines Bai Yu had prepared for this trip.

As for the strongest fishing line, the reel is too big and the overall weight is too heavy, so Baiyu has no plans to use it for the time being.

It's not that we don't plan to use it for the time being, but Bai Yu doesn't plan to use that line setup until he finds a really big fish.

After Bai Hao assembled the fishing line, which could catch fish weighing 200 jin (100 kg) and had a length of 1,000 meters, the set was complete.

The assembled fishing rod, with its heavy weight, made Bai Yu realize one thing: without a strong body, it's best not to even think about catching giant fish.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a case of people fishing for giants, but rather giants fishing for people.

Bai Yu changed his fishing line, so he also needed to change the hooks and bait accordingly, so as to match the quality of the giant fishing line.

The fishing hooks were several sizes larger than before. Although they were still smaller than Bai Yu's palm, they were already half the size. The bait was changed from shrimp to squid. A squid weighing about one pound was pierced through the hook and thrown into the sea.

Bai Yu originally had no intention of catching big fish here, but now it's no use. Two of his fishing lines have already broken, and if he doesn't change his lines soon to catch big fish, his fishing lines will break completely.

Therefore, Bai Yu made this change purely out of necessity.

If he does catch a big fish later on, don't blame it; it didn't want this to happen either.

Blame their fellow creatures in the sea; they drove the white fisherman down this path!

Perhaps it's because he's been watching a lot of TV dramas lately, but after Bai Yu cast his line, his mind was racing, wandering from east to west, then from north to south...

After Bai Yu changed his line, Wang Hai, being his loyal follower, naturally followed suit, taking out a giant fishing line from his tackle bag, changing the line, baiting the hook with a squid, and casting his line.

Following Bai Yu and Wang Hai's lead, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng also changed their fishing lines to giant fishing lines.

Fortunately, they acted quickly enough to avoid the fishing line breaking.

Just after Bai Yu and his three companions finished changing the fishing line, from time to time, sounds of regret and lamentation could be heard from the deck behind them.

Just by listening to the sound, Bai Yu didn't even need to turn around; he knew exactly what was happening behind him.

There are only two possible reasons, or more accurately, just one: the fish got away.

However, there are two reasons why a fish might get away: either it escapes the hook or the fishing line breaks.

Just as a chorus of regrets echoed from the deck, Bai Yu's side finally heard the sound of fish being caught.

With a sharp nod of the fishing rod, the fishing line shot out rapidly. This time, it wouldn't be easy for the fish that had taken the bait to break the line.

The moment he hooked the fish, Bai Yu wanted to yell, "You fucking used force! You were so cocky just now, snapping two fishing lines. Now try snapping another one!"

Although he didn't say it aloud, Bai Yu's hands didn't stop. He immediately activated the load shear and applied pressure to the guy.

What puzzled Bai Yu was that even though he had already activated the drag, the speed at which the fishing line was coming out didn't slow down at all.

This alone is enough to show that this thing is not small, and the pressure that the deflector can bring is a trivial matter to it.

However, if this really is a big fish, then the speed at which the fishing line is coming out is a bit off. Right now, the fishing line is coming out at most one rotation per second.

How much fishing line is in one loop? It's only twenty or thirty centimeters. What big fish can swim at that speed after being hooked?

No, Bai Yu thought of a fish, a fish that is naturally suited to slacking off, but most marine life has no interest in it. That fish is the sunfish!

"Holy crap, is this another sunfish? Dude, don't mess around like that! Who wants a sunfish? I'd rather not fish for one than waste bait!"

After feeling the weight of the fishing rod, for some reason, the image of a sunfish flashed through Bai Yu's mind.

They are quite large and strong, but some are slow, as if they are just giving up!

All the conditions were telling Bai Yu that this fish might be a sunfish!

"Sunfish? Brother Fisherman, do you mean the kind of fish with a light on its head?"

"A fish with a light on its head? Shuangzi, you mean the anglerfish, not the sunfish. The sunfish looks like a big plate and just loafs around all day waiting to die."

If I were a sunfish, you'd see what a sunfish looks like in a little while.

After explaining to Li Shuang that the fish with the light was an anglerfish, Bai Yu also prepared to start fishing.

Immediately afterward, Bai Yu took the fishing rod and began to reel in the line. With his operation, every time Bai Yu reeled in the line once, this guy would pull it out again once.

As for your question about whether Bai Yu could stop this guy from pulling away the fishing line?

This is impossible, at least not something Bai Yu could do.

Because in terms of strength, Bai Yu was no match for the guy; he couldn't pull him down at all.

Although the white fisherman was not as strong as the fish, that didn't mean he was helpless. In fact, there were many ways to catch this fish.

For example, when fishing, make a larger cast and reel in the line each time, trying to reel in two loops of line with one cast, and then let the fish pull away one more loop.

With this back and forth, Bai Yu can earn a round of fishing line for free, which makes him very happy.

For some reason, the fish started playing a turn-based game with Bai Yu. Every time Bai Yu cast his line, the fish would pull back a little bit of the line, and this continued repeatedly.

After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, a faint red glow appeared on the distant sea surface, then submerged again and disappeared.

Red? Not a sunfish?
