After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yu felt a sudden sense of panic and immediately opened her eyes to check her surroundings.
Before he could even get a good look at his surroundings, he heard a continuous gurgling sound coming from his stomach.
? ? ?
What the hell? Am I starving and having heart palpitations? What time is it now? How many hours have I slept?
With a hint of doubt, Bai Yu picked up the phone on the bedside table and checked the time.
On the vast ocean, without internet access, a mobile phone is usually only used for this purpose: serving as a watch.
The time on his phone was 12:11 PM, twelve hours after he had eaten. Then he woke up hungry!
Bai Yu was completely bewildered when he came to his senses. This was the first time he had ever been woken up by hunger, and it was a truly unpleasant feeling.
Bai Yu then got out of bed, washed up, and left the crew quarters, heading towards the kitchen.
As for Wang Hai, let him continue sleeping. We'll go check the kitchen first, and then we'll consider whether to wake him up.
Bai Yu arrived at the restaurant soon. It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few staff members eating there.
After greeting the passing crew members, Bai Yu went straight into the kitchen, casually grabbed two plates from the nearby shelf, and started getting his lunch.
Today's lunch was quite substantial, with four meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup, which is basically the standard daily meal.
Bai Yu filled two lunch boxes, then carried the trays back to the crew quarters. She placed the trays in front of Wang Hai, and the aroma of the food wafted into his nostrils.
Wang Hai, who was lying down, immediately sat up, sitting up straight!
"Meat, braised pork, there's braised pork to eat! Brother Yu, you've brought the food over!"
Upon smelling the aroma, Wang Hai opened his eyes and looked at the plate in front of him with delight, wanting to take it and start eating right away.
However, Bai Yu stopped him, taking the two plates and placing them on a small table to the side.
"What are you looking at? You haven't washed your hands or brushed your teeth. If you want to eat, go brush your teeth and wash your face first. Hurry up."
At Bai Yu's insistence, Wang Hai reluctantly got out of bed and headed to the washroom to wash up.
In just two minutes, Wang Hai returned to the crew quarters, sat on his bed, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
After finishing dinner, the two brothers put on a windbreaker and then a life jacket over it before heading towards the captain's cabin.
Unlike other positions that operate on a three-shift system, the captain's cabin operates on a two-shift system: the eldest uncle and Liu Tianyu work on one shift, while the first mate and second mate work on the other.
At that time, it happened to be my uncle's shift in the captain's cabin. Their working hours were from noon to midnight.
"Uncle, how was the fishing this morning? How many fish did you catch?"
As the company's boss, even though Bai Yu wasn't the kind of boss who was obsessed with money, he still wanted to know how the fishing was going.
After all, only through this point could he determine roughly how much money he had made on this voyage.
"In the morning? It's not like the two of us are at work in the morning, but I heard from the first mate that the fishing isn't very good this morning. The school of mackerel we found yesterday has already disappeared."
Now it's all done by loose fishing; we can only haul in the trawl net every two or three hours, and the catch isn't very good.
The fish are gone? Are they just catching them in small groups now?
What does "scattered fishing" mean? It means simply drifting around in a fishing boat, relying purely on luck to catch fish in the ocean.
In this way, if you're lucky, it's not impossible to catch 10,000 to 20,000 catties of fish in one go. But if you're unlucky, you might not catch much fish even after several hours.
After listening to what his uncle said, Bai Yu's heart stirred, and then he checked his luck stat for the day.
You know, he was so busy yesterday with the discovery of that school of fish that he didn't even have time to check the luck stat that refreshed at midnight. He only remembered it now.
Bai Yu then saw the luck value of 52 points on the system panel and a smile appeared on his lips.
Fifty-two points is not a very high number; it's just over half.
But after yesterday's forty points of luck brought them millions in profits, it was impossible for him not to be happy.
Forty points is a profit of several million. If you used all fifty-two points now, would the profit be any less? It's impossible to imagine.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu didn't pause at all. He opened the search function again, selected the skipjack tuna as the species, and then invested all 52 luck points.
As for why skipjack tuna was chosen this time, it's because we've already encountered mackerel. Among the remaining sea fish, skipjack tuna is more abundant, and you often encounter them in groups. The price is also quite good.
Although it cannot compare to Spanish mackerel, and Spanish mackerel is two or three times more valuable than skipjack tuna, its value will naturally not be low if the quantity of skipjack tuna increases.
For example, the current market price of skipjack tuna is around six or seven yuan. If you can catch 100 tons, you can sell it for more than a million yuan. It's better than nothing, right?
As Bai Yu identified the fish school and species he was searching for, a small radar quickly started spinning on the system panel. A few seconds later, a school of skipjack tuna appeared about thirty nautical miles to their right.
After locating the school of fish, the fishing boat, Yuxue, made no move. Instead, the skipjack tuna changed direction immediately and swam towards the direction the fishing boat was bound to pass.
They swam over so blatantly, and as if afraid the fishing boat wouldn't spot them, these guys swam straight towards the fishing boat in a straight line.
After seeing the situation on the system panel, Bai Yu led Wang Hai away from the captain's cabin and headed towards the second deck.
He had done all he could, so now it was up to his uncle to handle. In any case, it wouldn't be long before the fish finder on the fishing boat spotted the school of fish ahead.
He'll go up to the deck with Wang Hai to help once they spot the fish; for now, he'll go have tea with Wang Hai on the second deck.
If they get really bored, there's a gym on the second floor where they can go for a run and get some exercise.
As a national first-class athlete, it's quite reasonable for Bai Yu to set up a gym on his fishing boat, allowing him to continue his training even when he's at sea.
Afterwards, Bai Yu and Wang Hai went to the second deck. After getting a bottle of purified water in the rest area, he went straight to the gym, started a treadmill, and went up.
As a long-distance runner, daily training is essential. Yesterday was the first day on the ship, so it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't run on the first day. But now it's the second day, so he has to train.
