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 603 You can catch anything!

Some people claim to love peace, but the content in their live streams is unusually volatile.

Throughout the entire morning, a total of eleven waves of boats rushed to catch up in Yuxue Company's live broadcast room.

Fortunately, not all of these eleven waves of images were caused by Yuxue Shipping Company. Another wave was brought by other fishing boats and had nothing to do with Bai Yu's company.

Well, a 10 to 1 probability, although the ratio is very low, at least it illustrates one point: driving away foreign ships is not just the responsibility of Yuxue Shipping Company, but the responsibility of all ships operating in the South China Sea.

It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock in the morning that the live stream switched to a scene of the contestants fishing.

Some players were already fishing before this, but the fishing footage was only interspersed in the broadcast. It was only shown when some players caught rare or large sea fish.

Otherwise, it would be more exciting and thrilling to watch fishing boats fight than to watch the contestants fishing.

As it approached nine o'clock, it wasn't that there were no more scenes of ships driving each other away on the sea, but rather that the following footage was not suitable for live streaming.

The previous attempts to drive them away only eliminated the more obedient and timid ones. However, in the area where they are now, there are still quite a few stubborn individuals who refuse to leave no matter what is said or how much water is sprayed at them.

We naturally have ways to deal with these ships; the simplest way is to encircle and annihilate them, and seize the ships directly.

In this situation, it's not advisable to broadcast it live, at least not now. The only option is to wait until after the ship seizure is over, and then leak the information to a third party.

In this respect, Bai Yu's company, including the broadcasting team, were very obedient.

After receiving certain messages, they immediately switched the camera angles.

Then the live stream returned to calm, as if none of the things that had happened before had occurred in this live stream.

The live stream room was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, with all the contestants sitting, squatting, or standing and fishing.

The way you fish isn't the most important thing; the important thing is that you can catch fish!

Bai Yu was like that. He was the first fisherman on fishing boat number 13 to go fishing all morning, instead of just watching the fun on the deck like the other fishermen.

He was extremely casual when he was fishing. How casual? He simply moved a deck chair from the storage room and placed it next to his fishing spot.

However, from the time he started fishing until now, about an hour has passed, and he hasn't been lying on the deck chair for very long.

Every time he lay down, he would hear the sound of a fish taking the bait, and then he would have to get up and fish.

This happened several times. The strength he regained by resting on the recliner was not as much as the strength he expended by getting up from the recliner.

Although Huangyan Island is called an island, it is not actually a complete island, but rather a piece of land. However, much of the land on this small island is below sea level, and it may only be fully exposed during low tide.

That's probably a bit difficult. The middle of Huangyan Island is all seawater, and it's quite deep!

If we follow our own ideas, then we should reclaim land from the sea to make the small Huangyan Island bigger, and then station a military force on it. Wouldn't that make Huangyan Island completely theirs?

Another point worth mentioning is that the scenery around Huangyan Island is actually quite beautiful, with abundant marine resources and corals.

If there are no issues or disputes with Huangyan Island, this area is very easy to develop and could attract a large number of tourists.

The seawater here is crystal clear and the seabed is rich in resources. Even if you just take a set of diving equipment and go into the sea, you can easily pick up a lot of seafood.

Bai Yu was like that. When he cast his line in the morning, he didn't have to wait long before he heard the sound of a fish biting on the line.

Bai Yu had only just lay down on the recliner and hadn't even started to rest when she was forced to get up.

Then, in just three or four minutes, he caught a striped nine-spined bass, a type of nine-spined bass.

Bai Yu was quite satisfied with the catching of the striped nine-spined bass, as the fish was quite large, and for the angler, his catch for the day was pretty good.

After catching the striped nine-spined perch, Bai Yu could finally go fishing on his own.

Bai Yu was also quite lucky on his second cast; he caught another fish without having to wait too long.

However, the fish caught on this fishing rod was of a very ordinary species, a silver pomfret that wasn't very valuable.

Among the large category of pomfret, the most valuable one should be the fighting pomfret, which is also one of the fish species that Bai Hao and his friends can catch.

Apart from the pomfret which is worth some money, the rest are all small-sized ramie.

In just six or seven minutes, Bai Yu had already caught two fish. Although the species wasn't very good, the catch was still quite good.

After all, this competition is about who catches the most and heaviest fish, not about who catches the most beautiful or valuable fish. So as long as you can catch a big fish, that's enough.

Near Huangyan Island, due to the depth of the water, it's unrealistic to expect to catch anything too big, like a 100-pound fish.

However, catching fish weighing a few kilograms, or even ten or twenty kilograms, is relatively easy, and the resources are still very abundant.

In any case, for Bai Yu and his group, the catch they could get here was no less than that from fishing in some other fishing grounds.

This might be related to the dispute here. The Filipino fishing boats want to operate here, but our boats won't agree.

Once discovered, they will be driven away and prevented from lingering there.

Of course, in order to drive away the monkeys, our own fishing boats rarely operate at sea here. Over time, the fishery resources here have become very abundant. As long as you cast your line, it won't be long before fish bite the hook.

However, for the viewers in the live stream, no matter how exciting the fishing process or even the result was, it couldn't compare to the excitement of fishing boats fighting each other or ships chasing each other.

However, since the live stream no longer shows this kind of content, they can only watch what the live stream wants them to see.

Even if netizens flood the live stream with comments, making the chat almost unreadable, things will remain the same as before.

However, this situation only lasted for about ten minutes before the chat in the live stream quieted down and people started discussing other things.

The viewers in the live stream are fickle; their attention can be easily diverted by anything else.

What's attracting their attention now is that many contestants have caught some rather unusual catches, such as large crabs, lobsters, and even sea snails.

As mentioned before, the area where Bai Yu and his group are currently located has relatively shallow waters, and the water is very clear with abundant corals and reefs on the seabed.

Although snagging is common in such places, the variety of fish caught is also very high, ranging from all kinds of sea fish to various crustaceans and invertebrates.

It's safe to say that the variety of fish you can catch here far exceeds your imagination.

You can catch anything you can imagine here, and you can still catch things you can't even imagine here.

Even the Chinese spiny lobster, which is also a protected animal, was caught in just a few minutes, with nearly ten caught.

You don't know whether to say that these Chinese spiny lobsters were unlucky or that the people who caught them were just too lucky. There were only 25 people on the boat, and eight of them caught Chinese spiny lobsters at the same time.

It's unclear whether this number represents the entire lobster population. If there are more in the ocean, it's still possible to catch more.

After all, even the Chinese spiny lobster is a social marine creature, and it usually appears in groups.

It's just tough on the anglers who manage to catch them. Unlike grouper, which can be fished for if you're qualified, Chinese spiny lobster is different.

However, the Chinese spiny lobster can only be legally caught in one place in the entire country, which is Bai Yu's small fishing village, and there is only one day of fishing season per year. At other times, it is not allowed to catch them.

As for the Chinese spiny lobsters in other places, I advise you all to let them go in order to avoid getting a free lunch. You really shouldn't catch these things.

The players who caught these lobsters could only take a photo with them and then release them back into the wild.

However, they still made a significant contribution to the live stream, at least calming down the barrage of comments from the viewers and easing the previous frenzy of spamming.

The current situation has become one where viewers in the live stream are all guessing what kind of fish these contestants will catch next, and whether there will be any even more bizarre things among them.

You know what, when it comes to weirdness, there's no limit to how bizarre this thing can get.

One of the contestants caught something quite unusual: Patrick Star, also known as a starfish.

Everyone knows what a starfish is, right? It looks just like a star. Although it is alive, it moves very slowly in the ocean and mostly moves with the help of ocean currents.

This creature also has a mouth, located in the middle of the starfish, which is where they eat.

It's not uncommon for people to catch starfish while fishing before; even Bai Yu has caught one before. However, he didn't catch it in the traditional way. Instead, he used fishing line to entangle the starfish's horn and then pulled it up.

But this time was different. This time, the player who caught the starfish did so by biting its hook.

This is quite a coincidence, since starfish hide their mouths so well that it would be extremely difficult for them to bite the bait.

But this is exactly what happened, and it all seemed so natural.
