At one o'clock in the morning, the deck of the fishing boat that Bai Yu and others were on was still brightly lit.
The anglers who went out to sea on the boat were all making the most of their time to fish, and for hardworking people like Bai Yu, the heavens responded, and the best response was naturally to let the anglers catch fish.
Although there aren't many giant fish weighing over 100 pounds, there are still plenty of large fish in the ocean weighing a few pounds, a dozen pounds, or even tens of pounds.
Especially in the early morning hours, when most marine life is feeding, Wang Hai and his team catch fish very frequently, managing to catch one in no time.
However, there was one exception: Bai Yu. He had caught a bluefin tuna weighing over 200 pounds, and that one fish seemed to have used up all his luck for the day.
Although he still got fish biting his hook after having a late-night snack, he never caught a sea fish weighing more than ten pounds again.
You should know that Bai Yu uses bottom fishing, and he uses very large bait and hooks, but he can't catch a single big fish...
Sensing something was wrong, Bai Yu immediately checked his luck score for the day. To his shock, his luck score was zero—a huge zero!
As for how much luck he originally had, Bai Yu had no idea. All he saw was a zero, and nothing else.
Actually, it's Bai Yu's own fault; he was too slow when fishing for tuna.
According to the luck value consumption standard given to him by Brother Tongzi, luck value will only be deducted from fish caught by Bai Yu, and the deduction will only occur from the moment the fish is caught.
As for Bai Yu's tuna, after it had no chance to escape, that is, after midnight, which is a new day, the luck value consumed in catching the tuna was deducted.
If you catch it before midnight, you'll lose the previous day's luck points. Even if you don't have enough luck points left to lose, it's okay; you can just reset your luck points to zero.
But now, just because it was a few minutes late, Bai Yu had all of her newly generated luck points deducted, which is quite frustrating.
It's alright, though. Even though Bai Yu's luck stat has been reset, at least he can still catch fish, even if the fish he catches are of lower value.
For example, the value of catching a two- or three-pound barracuda might not even be as high as the bait.
This fishing activity continued until 3:30 PM before disappearing.
It's not that the fishermen changed their fishing gear after 3:30, but rather that they packed up and stopped fishing because it was too late, and if they didn't go to sleep soon, it would be the same as staying up all night.
Given the large number of people on the fishing boat and the limited number of toilets, they rested in shifts.
Bai Yu was the first to pack up his line and head towards the cabin. He had been fishing for more than two hours without catching a single big fish, only small ones. He was already preparing to pack up and go to sleep.
I slept for quite a long time this time; I basically spent the whole morning sleeping.
After Bai Yu and the others woke up, the first meal they ate was lunch, which was around one o'clock.
After lunch, Bai Yu and his three companions took their fishing rods to the stern of the boat again to prepare for fishing. However, this time Bai Yu did not intend to catch big fish. Instead, he changed his fishing line, hooks, and bait to fish for fish in the upper layers of the sea.
With his current luck stat, it's pointless to use any bait to catch any fish. So he might as well use the cheapest bait and try to catch some small ones.
As for Wang Hai and his two companions, they continued to use the same method as before: large hooks and large baits for bottom fishing for big fish.
Around 10 p.m., Brother Li came to the stern of the boat and told them to pack up their fishing rods because they were going back to the dock.
"Brother Li, are those landlords up ahead not planning to renew their leases? Shall we head back tonight?"
"Well, no more. The boss came out fishing to experience life. He's had his fill of experiences these past two days, and he's caught some big fish, so it's time for him to go home."
Don't worry, I've already added their contact information. I'll let you know if there are any more good opportunities like this in the future.
After Li finished speaking, he returned to the bow of the boat and helped the boss in front pack up his things.
Just as Brother Li said, Bai Yu and his group got a free trip to sea this time. They didn't pay a penny for the boat fare and got two days of fishing time.
They spent a total of about three thousand yuan on the boat, with about two thousand yuan spent on fish bait and the remaining one thousand yuan on food.
That's right, it was eaten into their stomachs, bite by bite.
Based on the principle that I have to spend 500 yuan no matter what, and assuming I have enough bait, I will naturally have to make up for the minimum expense by eating.
After Brother Li finished saying he was going to pack up and return, Bai Yu and the other three also put away their fishing rods. Anyway, the fish weren't biting very well, so there wouldn't be much of a loss if they packed up.
On the way back, Bai Yu went to the captain's cabin, found the captain, took a satellite phone from him, and made a call to Uncle Sun.
Bai Yu is a grateful person. He and his family have been eating at Uncle Sun's hotel for ages. Now that he's finally gone out to sea and caught something good, he naturally has to ask Uncle Sun if he wants it.
You said Uncle Sun's hotel is in Sanya, but they go back to Haikou from the pier, so they are not in the same place.
That's not a problem at all. It's only about 200 kilometers from Sanya to Haikou, a quick drive.
However, the bluefin tuna they caught this time is an extremely rare and high-quality catch. If they miss it, they don't know when they'll be able to find it again.
So before selling, you definitely need to ask Uncle Sun.
"Hey Uncle Sun, it's me, Xiao Yu. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
"Xiaoyu? Where did you call me from? If you had called me later, I would have gone to sleep and rested."
"It's alright that you haven't rested yet. Uncle Sun, I'm at sea right now. I called to ask if you'd like some tuna dishes at your hotel. I caught a big tuna on my recent trip. Would you like some?"
Hearing that he hadn't disturbed Uncle Sun's rest, Bai Yu didn't care whether Uncle Sun was telling the truth or just being polite; he took it seriously anyway and then explained the purpose of his call.
He had no choice but to tell him; satellite phones are charged by the minute, which is much more expensive than regular phones, so he had to get down to business quickly.
"Going out to sea to fish for tuna? Shouldn't you be studying at Ocean University right now? How come you're out fishing at sea? And you even caught a tuna, how big was it?"
"Since it's the holidays, we have tuna of all sizes, from small ones weighing tens of kilograms to large ones weighing over two hundred kilograms, and they're all bluefin tuna. Uncle Sun, are you interested?"
"A bluefin tuna weighing over 200 pounds? Really? Send me a picture and an address, and I'll come and pick it up for you."
"Um, Uncle, didn't I already say that I'm at sea right now and won't be back at the dock until tomorrow morning? I can't send this picture!"
Besides, don't you know who I am? I can joke with you about other things, but when it comes to selling goods, I definitely can't joke with you.
"Yeah, I trust your word. Here's what we'll do: give me an address, and I'll call your dad and we'll drive over right now. See you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, we should arrive at Haikou *** Wharf around 8 a.m. tomorrow. You can wait for me there."
At the captain's instruction, Bai Yu gave Uncle Sun the address of the dock and then hung up the phone.
Since Uncle Sun is interested in tuna, the tuna that the four of them caught this time will have to be sold to him.
The captain agreed to Bai Yu's operation. Although he had cooperated with many fish buyers, the final decision on who the angler would sell his fish to was not up to the captain, but rather up to the angler himself.
Bai Yu then returned to the cabin and told Wang Hai and the others about it. Apart from the tuna and marlin, they would sell the rest of their catch to local fish dealers.
After all, Uncle Sun's hotel is supposed to be high-end, and they don't accept just any fish. They're lucky if they come to buy tuna and marlin.
Now that we've finished most of the work, it's time to rest.
Although Bai Yu and the others didn't have classes on Monday, they were still very clear about the importance of going to bed early and getting up early for good health.
Nothing happened that night, and I slept soundly until I woke up naturally.
