Bai Yu and Li Xue sat on the beach, chatting and looking at the scenery in the distance. They both seemed very relaxed and at ease.
As for their fishing rods and the live stream room next to them, it seemed as if they had nothing to do with each other; they were as if they were enjoying their own private world.
Indeed, that was exactly what Bai Yu thought; he hadn't had such a relaxed chat with Li Xue in a long time.
Unfortunately, the two of them wanted to chat a little longer and talk about more happy things, but there were always some guys who wouldn't let them have a good chat and would always try to find something for them to do.
Just then, the fishing rod they had stuck in the sand was suddenly pulled down by a force.
In this situation, there's no need to overthink it; it means a fish has taken the bait.
"Brother Bai, we've got a fish! We've got a fish! A fish has taken the bait!"
"Yeah, I saw it. If it bites, just go ahead and fish. Don't worry, I'll watch over you. If there's any problem, just hand me the rod and I'll take it down for you!"
In front of his wife, Bai Yu patted his chest and said.
Li Xue nodded in agreement, then stood up from the small stool made of coconut, took two steps forward, and picked up the fishing rod that had fallen to the ground.
At this moment, the fishing rod reel was already rapidly releasing the line. Based on the speed at which the line was released, Li Xue could tell that the fish that had taken the bait this time was not too small.
Then she picked up her fishing rod and prepared to reel in the line. As for any probing movements? Absolutely not. She would just go all out against this guy.
After all, although the fish was indeed quite large, weighing about seven or eight pounds, the equipment Bai Hao was currently using was also extremely powerful.
Facing this fish that weighs seven or eight pounds, you can easily take it down by sheer force.
As Li Xue started working, the fish that had taken the bait gradually approached the beach.
No matter how much this guy struggles, whether he runs to the left or the right, as long as he can't get rid of the hook, the distance between him and the beach will gradually decrease.
Then, seemingly driven to desperation, the guy changed direction and accelerated towards the beach.
? ? ?
What the hell? What does this guy mean? Is he having a mental breakdown and trying to kill himself?
Then Bai Hao saw a brownish-red fish burst out of the waves, and with the help of the waves, the fish was incredibly fast, almost like it was flying at low altitude.
However, its speed came to an abrupt halt upon contact with the beach, immediately slowing down before rushing forward another meter or two before coming to a stop on the sand.
"Oil spot? What happened to this guy? How did he manage to emerge from the waves like that?"
Bai Yu stared at the oil stain on the beach with a puzzled expression; he really couldn't understand it.
Oil grouper is also a relatively valuable type of grouper, and it is popular because of its high oil content. Especially in Hong Kong, oil grouper sells for a very high price, which can be more than 200 RMB.
Even in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, the price of oily spots is not low; over one hundred yuan is considered a normal price.
As for Hainan Province, Bai Yu didn't know much about it because he didn't like eating grouper, and in his opinion, grouper wasn't very cost-effective.
However, Bai Yu's side naturally wouldn't let this oily spot, which had come to their doorstep, go. In the end, there was only one outcome for it: to become one of Bai Yu's prey.
When Bai Yu caught this grouper, it amazed the viewers in the live stream. Some of them recognized the species of the grouper.
A seven or eight-pound oily stalk, if sold on the market, could easily fetch over a thousand yuan.
Most people know that you can fish at the beach, but you need to go to the rocky shore to fish; the probability of catching fish on the sand is very small.
Unless you go to an undeveloped beach, forget about fishing on beaches with tourists; you won't catch any fish there.
Even if you manage to catch some, they'll only be small, worthless carambs.
But Bai Yu is right here on the beach and has caught a grouper worth over a thousand dollars. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
As for whether this fish was caught by a white-fisherman?
Stop joking around, this is a live broadcast. Bai Yu and Li Xue are fishing live in the studio. After casting their lines, they just keep chatting.
Besides, given Bai Yu's current situation, he has absolutely no reason to hang fish.
After all, for those anglers who hang fish, what they're after is traffic, and then they monetize that traffic to make money.
But who is Bai Yu?
He's sending out tens of thousands of red envelopes, and he doesn't need to worry about traffic or popularity at all, so he doesn't need to manipulate the market at all.
If it's not a hooked fish, then it means that this grouper was caught by Bai Yu and his team; it's a genuine wild grouper.
That wasn't the end of it. Before Bai Yu could figure out what was going on with the oily spot, his own fishing rod was also pulled down.
Another fish has taken the bait!
"Xue'er, I've caught a fish over there too. Can you help me catch it first? I'll put this oilfish in the fish tank and keep it alive for now. We'll take it back to the yacht together later."
"Okay, Brother Xiaobai, you go ahead with your work. I'll definitely be able to catch this fish for you."
After receiving Li Xue's reply, Bai Yu went to the luggage area to get the fish box.
This time, the eight of them only brought four fish boxes to the island, and they were the smaller kind, as the larger ones were not very convenient to carry.
After Bai Yu brought the fish box back, he was a little stunned.
Because he saw a fish with spots all over its body and a pointed head in Li Xuede's hand. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a spotted rat.
? ? ?
"Xue'er, what's going on? Did you catch a grouper? And you caught it so quickly?"
"Brother Xiaobai, here's a grouper. It's not very big, so it's easy to catch. I'll catch it in a bit."
Once it was confirmed that it was indeed a spotted rat, Bai Yu fell silent, and the live stream also fell silent.
Although the grouper that Li Xue caught was not very big, just as she herself said, weighing less than two pounds in total, it was really not difficult to catch.
But this is a grouper, a much, much more valuable grouper than an oil grouper.
They caught it in just a few minutes? Isn't that a bit too easy?
The two groupers that Bai Yu and Li Xue caught are worth no less than two thousand yuan. That's almost half a month's salary for an average office worker.
If you're saying that Bai Yu faked it herself and staged the photoshoot, then it doesn't look that convincing.
After all, you could tell from Bai Yu and Li Xue's expressions that their surprise didn't seem fake; they genuinely hadn't expected it.
Besides, Bai Yu made his fortune by beachcombing and sea fishing, so he knows all the ins and outs of it very well.
If he wanted to stage a photo, there was no need to make it look so fake; he could have easily come up with a more natural way.
Another crucial point is that it's unnecessary. Given Bai Yu's current net worth and fame, it's truly unnecessary.
"Tsk, what's going on today? All these groupers have come to the shore? Something feels off."
"Brother Bai, is there a problem with this?"
Li Xue wasn't quite sure why Bai Yu was muttering to himself; she just thought it was all because they were lucky.
Just as Li Xue had thought, their luck was indeed exceptionally good today.
While Bai Yu was puzzled, he opened his luck value panel and glanced at the luck value on it.
You won't believe it until you see it; Bai Yu's luck value today is a whopping 123 points.
Before this, Bai Yu had already taken Li Xue to the beach for two hours, and the harvest was also quite good. Now they had caught two more groupers, and they still had 123 luck points left.
If this had happened when the update was first released, his luck stat would have been around 130 points or more.
The reason for having a luck value of over 100 points is naturally related to the bonuses. Currently, the daily bonus rate of Bai Yu's ships and Wang Hai's bonuses has exceeded 50%.
In this situation, it would be relatively easy for his luck stat to break through the maximum value of 100 points.
With a luck value of over 100, they can catch any kind of fish they want; there's nothing they can't catch, only things they haven't thought of.
Let alone grouper, anything that exists in the South China Sea can be caught here.
After finding the answer, Bai Yu put both grouper into the fish tank and provided oxygen to keep them alive.
Bai Yu plans to sell these two groupers at a dock to supplement his budget.
The money for their next gas station needs to be saved up by Bai Yu and his friends now. It would be a bit embarrassing if they didn't save up enough for gas by the time they needed to fill up.
Bai Yu then baited their fishing rods again and cast them into the sea, waiting for the next fish to appear.
For a fisherman with over a hundred points of luck, just as he planted his fishing rod in the sand and turned to open a coconut to taste how sweet the coconut juice was on this island...
Suddenly, there was a 'thud' behind him, as if something had hit the beach.
Then Bai Yu looked back and saw that the fishing rod he had just set up had fallen over.
Bai Yu wasn't particularly concerned at first, thinking that he hadn't tied the fishing line properly and that the sea breeze or waves had pulled it down.
However, when Bai Yu returned to his fishing rod, he immediately noticed something was wrong: his reel was starting to pull outwards.
Another fish has taken the bait?
Upon discovering this situation, Bai Yu immediately picked up his fishing rod from the beach and gave it a flick.
With that sudden jerk of the rod, he felt something quite unusual about the fish; this time, the fish that had taken the bait was rather large!
Bai Yu had already decided that the seven or eight-pound grouper he caught was quite large, but this time the fish that took the bait felt much bigger, perhaps two or three of them weighing seven or eight pounds.
This is not a good thing, because he is fishing on the beach and doesn't think he can catch any big fish. Also, the strength of the fishing line he is using is limited, with a tensile strength of only thirty pounds.
However, this time the fish that took the bait weighed about 20 pounds, which is almost beyond the limit that the fishing line can withstand.
When fishing for this fish, Bai Yu certainly couldn't reel in the line as recklessly as before; he had to consider many more things.
However, it's unclear whether his luck was just too high today, but it even affected his fishing.
Bai Yu had originally planned to walk around with this guy and slowly wear him down.
However, when he was reeling in the line, the fish didn't pose much of a hindrance, and the reeling in went very smoothly.
In just five or six minutes, with the help of the waves, a fake oil spot was pushed onto the beach.
The reason Bai Yu was able to recognize that this was a fake grouper was because he had caught a real grouper before. With this comparison, Bai Yu could naturally distinguish between the two types of fish.
The fake oil grouper that Bai Yu caught was actually a brown grouper, which looked quite similar to an oil grouper. For some people who don't know much about groupers, it was really not easy to tell them apart.
However, compared to calling the brown grouper a false oil grouper, Bai Yu thinks it is more similar to the brown banded grouper, and could even be said to be the same kind of fish.
However, the brown-banded grouper has several dark stripes on its skin, while the brown grouper's stripes are not very obvious and are almost invisible.
Bai Yu took Wang Hai's fish box from Wang Hai's to catch this brown grouper, which weighed about 20 pounds. The fish was too big for Bai Yu's own fish box.
