He secretly calculated that the remaining fishing line might not be enough, so he decided to only use this one set tonight and not cut the hooks again.

After finishing cleaning up the catch from the longline fishing, it was already 11:30 p.m. After rinsing the deck clean, Chen Hong took a quick shower.

I turned on the radio and listened to the broadcast. Tomorrow will be another good day. I drifted off to sleep alone on the vast ocean, feeling at ease.

Chen Hong got up at five o'clock in the morning. Although she wasn't scared, it was her first time sleeping alone at sea, so she didn't sleep soundly and was still very alert.

When I got up in the morning, I turned on the radio and listened to the broadcast. I learned that the weather was unchanged today, so I put away all the crab traps that I had set last night.

This time she set twenty crab traps in total. When she pulled them up, each one was full of lobsters and crabs. Among them were many Taiwanese tiger lobsters, which are not commonly found in inland waters, and each one weighed more than 1.5 pounds.

Many of them had lost legs or broken pincers due to being crushed. Chen Hong felt heartbroken as she poured them into the breeding tanks on the deck.

Looking at all these lobsters and crabs, weighing from one and a half to five pounds, Chen Hong secretly regretted that she should have put away the crab traps first last night.

In novels, crab traps are placed overnight, so I wanted to try it myself and see if leaving a crab trap on the seabed overnight would cause it to burst completely.

They forgot that the bait they were using was produced in the space, making it extremely attractive to all marine life. They didn't even need to leave it overnight; two or three hours at most would be enough to fill the cage.

If we had collected them earlier, there wouldn't have been so many crippled crabs and lobsters, and we would have sold them for much less money.

I must remember this lesson in the future. I can't just follow the crowd. My situation is different, so I have to find my own way.

Other people's novels rarely feature spatial elements; they mostly feature systems or special abilities.

Thinking about my special abilities, I suddenly feel like diving again. Sigh, I'll have to wait a little longer. The water temperature is still not right. I'll have to wait at least another month before I can go underwater.

If you don't treat yourself well, you can't rely on anyone else! Sometimes Chen Hong thinks to herself that she has gained space and been reborn, and she is indeed very independent now.

But there are some things you can't tell anyone, you can't discuss with anyone, you can only think about them slowly, ponder them slowly, and try them slowly.

Fortunately, I haven't encountered any particularly difficult problems or difficulties yet, and I can manage on my own.

Sigh, no one can predict the future. Maybe I'll save enough money and achieve all my goals.

You can slow down, earn money while having fun, and also appreciate the beautiful scenery around you.

The amazing experiences I've had in this life—who knows, when I'm old, I might even write a book about my incredible and happy life.

Chen Hong deftly tied up the crabs, separating the lobsters and crabs into different large water tanks, and also picking out the disabled ones.

There were also over thirty large steamed buns, each weighing two or three pounds, inside. They looked so plump and delicious. I'll make eel rice with them when I get back, and then dry them into eel jerky—it will definitely be incredibly tasty.

After collecting the crab traps, Chen Hong carefully washed the boat with a high-pressure water gun. She then set up a longline on both the fore and aft sides of the boat, washed her hands, and ate breakfast.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, I got back to work. It seems the fish were biting well this morning.

This time, a small portion of the fish collected were various kinds of grouper. Chen Hong quickly deflated the fish and tried her best to save these precious treasures.

I don't know if I disturbed the grouper's nest, but this time I caught more than 30 groupers weighing over 20 pounds each. They were big and ugly, practically underwater gangsters.

However, the dozen or so Eastern Star Spotted Groupers are still very attractive, with their fiery red bodies and slender figures dotted with blue stars, much like the stars in a child's drawing of the night sky, which is quite charming.

The large wrasses were covered in a delicate pinkish-blue color, but their bodies were too plump, like those of an overweight middle-aged woman. Chen Hong liked these wrasses more and more as she looked at them, but she also knew that these wrasses were very dangerous.

These dozens of Napoleon wrasse weighed less than 30 pounds each, and they were still juveniles in their group. It is said that the largest Napoleon wrasse can grow to several hundred pounds, and I heard that a fish weighing more than 200 pounds was once caught in the southern waters of the South China Sea.

This fish has few natural predators on the seabed and can live for more than fifty years. It was listed as a Class II protected animal two years ago.

However, fishermen still secretly catch it in private. This fish has a much higher taste and nutritional value than bluefin tuna, and of course, its price is also higher than that of bluefin tuna, making it arguably the world's best.

Bluefin tuna are nothing compared to them.

Because this fish is so precious and highly regarded by gourmets around the world, fishermen have been overfishing it, leading to a significant decrease in the number of Napoleon wrasse.

That's why countries list them as protected animals; otherwise, they would have become extinct in just a few years.

Although Chen Hong was happy to have harvested so many grouper, she didn't dare to sell them. She was living a happy life, but she never expected that one day her secret would be exposed and she would have to work on a sewing machine.

But Chen Hong was extremely reluctant to release them back into the sea. Even if they grew up safely, who knew who would benefit from them!

Having made up her mind, Chen Hong picked out all the Napoleon wrasse, put them into her spatial storage, and kept them in the pond she had dug at the beginning.

This pool is directly connected to the space river, which will surely allow the Napoleon wrasse to grow up safely and happily reproduce a large number of fry. At that time, we will release them all back into our country's waters.

If it reaches a certain scale, it might boost the local economy! At the very least, it could provide local coastal fishermen with a high-value fish species, potentially increasing their income slightly!

The pond where the Napoleon wrasse are kept is located downstream of the space river, so no matter how much they thrash around in there, they won't pollute the water quality of the space river.
