Sometimes, the luck value on the system panel can only be used as a reference. Bai Yu's actual luck on that day is still unknown.
But today was different. Despite having a bit of luck, Bai Yu only managed to catch one fish by midnight, and it was a small yellowfin tuna the size of his palm. That was it.
Bai Yu suffered a heavy loss today, having only caught one fish. In just one afternoon, he broke three fishing lines, including the three largest ones he had left!
This made Bai Yu so much that at night, instead of fishing, he would take a squid fishing rod and fish for squid on the sea.
He really fished a lot that night, filling a whole bag, which must have weighed at least several pounds.
Just as Bai Yu was excitedly going to confront Tongzi, saying that he had caught several kilograms of squid thanks to a bit of luck, Tongzi's words left him speechless.
That means fishing for squid with fluorescent hooks doesn't count as fishing, because there's no cost involved, and the squid caught are too small to be of negligible economic value!
He was speechless upon hearing this absurd logic; he didn't know what to say.
Baby squid have no value? Who says baby squid have no value? These things are usually very expensive. Dried ones can sell for tens of dollars a pound, and frozen ones aren't cheap either. Don't even think about buying them for less than ten dollars.
However, no matter how Bai Yu argued with Tong Zi Ge, Tong Zi Ge stuck to his point of view and looked down on the squid that Bai Yu had caught.
Around 11 p.m., Bai Yu went back to his dormitory to rest. Even though his luck stat would refresh at midnight, he still didn't plan to go fishing.
It's already late at 11 o'clock. If you don't want to stay up late, you should get ready to rest. Even if the luck value is updated at 12 o'clock, you should save it for tomorrow.
......
Bai Yu slept soundly until dawn, but in his drowsy state, he seemed to hear countless birds chirping, which gave him a headache.
Finally, unable to bear the noise any longer, he opened his eyes, pushed open the door to the crew quarters, and went out.
When he got onto the deck, the scene before him made his jaw drop!
At this moment, a large number of seabirds gathered on the deck of the fishing boat where Bai Yu and the others were, and the same was true for the surrounding railings, which were full of all kinds of seabirds.
These seabirds range from the most common gulls to smaller seabirds like petrels and puffins, as well as many large seabirds such as albatrosses and frigatebirds. There are also many other seabirds that the fisherman does not recognize.
Not only on Bai Yu's fishing boat, but also on the drilling platform not far away, the steel frame was covered with seabirds, densely packed together.
"Brother, what are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you go out? Were you also woken up by the birds chirping?"
Just as Bai Yu stood motionless in the cabin, Bai Yue appeared behind him without him noticing.
"Shh, Yueyue, keep your voice down! Our boat is surrounded by seabirds! There are all sorts of seabirds outside! Don't go out, okay? These guys can really hurt if they peck you!"
"We're surrounded by seabirds? Where are they? I want to see them!"
"Come here, come over here and take a picture with your phone from a distance, don't open the door and go outside."
"Okay, bro!"
Then, Bai Yu and Bai Yue, the brother and sister, stood at the door of the fishing boat's cabin and took out their phones to take pictures of the seabirds on the deck.
As time went on, more and more people were awakened by the cries of the seabirds. They came out of the crew quarters and onto the corridor, taking turns watching the seabirds on the deck.
"Second Uncle, Cousin, do you know when these seabirds will leave? So many seabirds gathered on the deck, this isn't a good situation!"
Ten minutes later, more than ten minutes had passed since Bai Yu got up, but even after so much time, the seabirds outside still showed no sign of dispersing.
"Who knows? Maybe I should just open the door and go for a walk to chase these seabirds away."
"No, Uncle, you should stay in the cabin. I'll go to the bridge and sound the horn to scare these guys away."
After Liu Tianyu finished speaking, he walked around the crowd towards the kitchen. There was a small door on the inside of the kitchen, which led to the driver's seat.
Besides this door, there is another door to the wheelhouse on the deck, but there are too many seabirds on the deck now, so you can only enter the wheelhouse through the small door in the galley.
Under Liu Tianyu's control, the fishing boat soon emitted a long whistle, followed by several short, urgent whistles.
Stimulated by the sound, most of the seabirds on the deck flapped their wings and took flight.
Moreover, Liu Tianyu's horn blasts seemed to have flipped a switch, as the seabirds on the drilling platform not far away also took flight, leading the flock of seabirds away into the distance.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu and the others felt the fishing boat swaying beneath their feet. The fishing boat, which had been staying there for two days, started moving again, and judging from its direction of travel, it was clearly following the direction in which the flock of seabirds had left.
Chasing seabirds in a fishing boat? What kind of operation is that?
"Brother, are we moving to a different place? I think the resources here are pretty good. We catch quite a few sea fish every day. Why are we moving?"
Feeling the movement coming from beneath her feet, Bai Yue asked with a puzzled expression.
"I'm not too sure either. Maybe my cousin has his own judgment. Judging from the direction he's sailing, it seems like he's chasing after the flock of seabirds we just saw?"
Not only Bai Yue was puzzled, but Bai Yu, Li Xue and the others were also puzzled. After all, the resources here were indeed very good, just as Bai Yue said, and in their opinion, there was no need to change fishing spots.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyue, all of you come and sit down and let me explain."
Just as you suspected, your cousin Liu Tianyu was indeed chasing flocks of birds in his fishing boat, and he had his reasons for doing so.
You probably know what seabirds usually eat, so what attracts such a large flock of seabirds of different species and sizes to gather together? You can probably guess—feel free to make your own guesses.
"Second Uncle, are you suggesting that what attracts these seabirds is a school of fish? And most likely a large school of fish?"
"You're a promising young man. It's very possible. Just wait and see. I believe it won't be long before Tianyu finds the school of fish, and then you'll know the details."
After the flock of birds flew away from the fishing boat, Bai Yu and the others sat in the cabin for a while before coming up to the deck.
The deck was now a mess, littered with seabird droppings.
What Bai Yu and the others need to do now is to wash away all this excrement, otherwise how will they fish after they find a school of fish?
The bird droppings on the deck are manageable, but the real problem is the bird droppings on the roof of the fishing boat. That's not easy to clean because they don't have the professional cleaning equipment to reach the top.
After cleaning up everything that could be cleaned, Bai Yu and the others looked towards the bow of the fishing boat amidst the sound of its horn.
Right in front of them, about four or five hundred meters away, a large number of seabirds were circling and flying in the sky!
There were so many that the sky over that area turned black; the entire sky was surrounded by seabirds, making it look like a storm was about to break!
"Damn, so many seabirds, are we really going to be able to get close enough?"
Looking at the scene ahead, Bai Yu felt a little scared; the scene was somewhat frightening.
"Don't be a coward, Xiaoyu. You need to know one thing: the most important thing about making a living at sea is that fortune is found in danger. Often, the most dangerous places are also the opportunities for us to get rich."
"Hey, hey, hey? I haven't even finished speaking yet, why has the fishing boat slowed down? Tianyu, are you doing this on purpose, trying to embarrass me?"
Just as Bai Yu's second uncle was about to talk to him about the risks of making a living at sea, hoping to encourage Bai Yu to work harder for a living.
Just then, the fishing boat beneath our feet slowed down until it came to a complete stop.
This put my second uncle in an awkward position; he didn't know whether he should continue the conversation.
However, Bai Yu and his group stopped, but other ships continued to move forward towards the sea area where the flock of birds was located, including as many as three fishing boats.
In Bai Yu's and the others' view, these fishing boats plunged into the sea area where the flock of birds was, and began to fish wildly there.
The scene was so cruel and bloody that it was unbearable to watch.
Because these fishing boats don't pay attention to the seabirds in the sky while they are fishing, Bai Yu and his crew saw many seabirds crash directly into the fishing boats, causing them to be mangled and killed on the spot.
As the fishing boats collided back and forth and came close to the fishing boat, Bai Yu and the others realized something was wrong. These three fishing boats were not normal; they did not belong here, and they should not have been here.
