Chapter 163: Fish King's Two Combo Attacks
"Damn it, this isn't really a deep water area, where did such a big fish come from?"
Zhang Ze tried hard to hold on to the fishing rod and keep an eye on the movements of the big fish at the bottom of the water. He originally thought that there would be at most a dozen or twenty kilograms of fish here, but he didn't expect that a fish weighing over a hundred kilograms would suddenly appear.
Only a fish weighing over 100 kilograms could pull him away in such an outburst.
But no matter what, today is a big profit. It is not easy to catch a big fish, but it is expensive to sell!
Zhang Ze looked at the speed at which the fishing line was running out and knew that it was not a fish like tuna that swims very fast. The speed felt like that of a giant grouper, which made him even more excited.
Maybe this time it's another king-level seven-band grouper, which not only has a high experience value but is also very expensive.
The only frustrating thing is that he is currently using a medium-sized fishing reel. The fishing line is long enough, but the unloading force is far inferior to that of a large drum reel, which means that he needs to spend more time and effort to catch this big fish.
Fortunately, no matter how big and powerful the fish is, his fishing line and fishing rod will not break, so you just need to be careful not to let the fish get off the hook.
The fish are still in the outbreak stage, and Zhang Ze does not expect to win by sheer strength, so he just holds on to the fishing rod, and occasionally tries to reel in the line by shaking the handle. If he cannot reel it in, he has to maintain the status quo.
In this way, the stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, and the big fish at the bottom of the water finally seemed a little tired and relaxed.
Zhang Ze pulled hard, and the fish seemed to struggle twice, but it did not run away and continued to rest.
He took the opportunity to quickly reel in the fishing line that had run out for more than a hundred meters. The fishing line was stretched straight, "wooooooo", and the line was swinging back and forth in a small distance on the water surface, vibrating at a high frequency, creating ripples, and the fishing rod was creaking all the time.
Zhang Ze could only say that the fishing space was for fishermen who understood fishermen. It was obvious that neither the fishing line nor the fishing rod would break, but they added situations that would normally occur to the fishing rod.
This way, he would feel a sense of tension and excitement when fishing, and occasionally he would feel as if the fishing rod would break at the next moment.
The fishing line was reeled in for more than ten meters. After the fish had rested, it swung its tail again and tried to run away, but its strength was obviously not as good as before. It was obvious that such a short time was not enough to restore its strength.
However, Zhang Ze had no way to continue collecting the line, and could only enter a stalemate again.
Time passed slowly, and after more than half an hour, a huge red fish was finally pulled to the surface of the sea by Zhang Ze.
He looked at the huge figure on the water in astonishment and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This is... a giant snapper?"
Although it is not very clear under the light at night, the color and appearance are indeed very similar to a deep-sea fish in the South China Sea, the red diamond fish, whose scientific name is the coastal snapper.
It is very similar to the long-tailed sea bream, except that the tail is slightly different. It is abundant and relatively cheap.
Zhang Ze was somewhat surprised that this kind of fish would appear in the shallow waters near Nanping Island, and it was so big.
But no matter what, the fish still has a chance to escape when it is on the water surface. He has to put the fish into the space and then see the specific situation of the fish.
This big fish, estimated to be over 1.5 meters long, actually made Zhang Ze very tired. Although the fishing rod was on the base, reeling it in was still a strenuous job.
If you want to have strong arms, you can practice by fishing. It is easy to destroy the mast and oars, so fishing is healthier.
When Zhang Ze took the fishing rod out of the base and was about to pull the fish to the stern of the boat, the restless big fish suddenly exerted force again.
He was not paying attention and the fishing line was pulled out more than ten meters again. Fortunately, the unloading force was always pulled to the highest, and the crank was not turning fast. He quickly pressed the crank to prevent the fishing line from running out further.
The fish ran back to more than 20 meters away. Zhang Ze had no choice but to use his waist to pull the fish back little by little, while also slowly moving towards the small door at the stern of the boat.
Fortunately, he usually likes to fish at the stern of the boat, which is only a few steps away.
It took him another seven or eight minutes to drag the big fish, which was still stubborn, over twenty meters away to the small gate steps.
Zhang Ze hurried over and reached out to touch it, and the big fish, which was suspected to be a red diamond fish, was immediately put into the space.
[Successfully caught a purple snapper, weighing 187.53 catties, experience (King Fish) +600. ]
"It's actually a red friend?" Zhang Ze didn't pay attention to the appearance of the fish when he collected the fish. All his attention was on collecting the fish into the space, so he didn't realize for a while that it was actually a red friend fish.
These two types of fish can be distinguished by their tails alone, and even if they are not particularly large, they can be told apart at a glance.
But when they grow to 1.7 meters long, the two fish do become somewhat similar.
After installing the fishing rod back into the base, Zhang Ze took some bait and threw it into the water to retain the fish. Then he went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of water and eat a snack he bought in the morning.
Every time he goes fishing for a big fish, he consumes a lot of physical energy, and his body craves for some energy.
I used to eat chocolate chip jellyfish and other foods to replenish my energy, but now I just eat some snacks.
After resting for a while and relieving his physical fatigue, Zhang Ze took out the big drum reel and the big fish hook.
After catching red snapper twice in a row, he guessed that there might be a group of red snapper fish at the bottom of the water.
Some of the fish in that group are probably quite big, and his target is these big ones. If he uses a big fishhook, he won't be able to bite the smaller fish.
Today, he is going to catch a lot of red snapper!
Sometimes, what you want just doesn't come.
The fishing rod "whooshed" again and was forced to bend.
Fortunately, this time I adjusted it to the hardest level and replaced the fishing reel with the largest one, so it was much more difficult to catch the fish than before.
But judging from the degree of the bend, Zhang Ze had caught another big fish this time.
"My goodness, have you used up all my luck today?"
Zhang Ze complained, but his hands were not slow at all. He immediately raised the fishing rod and stabbed the fish.
The result was that the feel was almost the same as the previous one, and he knew that there was another huge fish weighing about 200 pounds under the water.
But this fish seemed to swim even faster. Even with a large drum reel, the fishing line was still running very fast and the reel kept making a crackling sound.
Zhang Ze thought it was another red friend, but looking at its posture, he knew it was not.
He grabbed the fishing rod and pulled back to prevent the fish from stopping to wash its gills and to make him continue running despite the pain.
These fish like to run to the bottom of the water, so people have to pull them up to prevent them from biting the corals or digging in the sand, which can easily cause the fish hooks to fall off.
Swordfish, sailfish and the like are actually easier to catch at the same size. These fish like to run on the water surface, so they can be pulled by a boat, and people are relatively only responsible for reeling in the line.
The swordfish will jump up and shake its head to clean its gills, and people can see it clearly at a glance and pull out the rod in time.
This will not only make the fishhook stick more firmly, but if you are strong enough, you can also knock the fish unconscious for a few seconds.
When the fish first bites the hook, they tend to be quite excited and irritable. At this time, Zhang Ze has no way to retract the fishing line. He can only wait until the fish is tired and in pain before he can take action.
After the first round of explosion, the fish dared not run away so fiercely when the fishing rod was pulled again. It also felt pain when the fish hook was on its lip! Fish also have a sense of pain. If they were not afraid of pain, they would just run away. Wouldn’t they run away if the meat was pulled off? This fish seemed to have stronger physical strength than the red friend just now. The first round of explosion lasted for 17 or 18 minutes before stopping.
Zhang Ze pulled the fishing rod hard, continuing to stimulate the big fish at the bottom of the water, and then it exploded for another two or three minutes.
Now he knew the fish was tired, so he reeled in the line with all his strength, pulling the fish from the bottom of the water to the surface first.
The basic operation is similar to fishing for red snapper just now, just reel in the fishing line and let the fish tire out at the same time.
This fish was faster than the big red one. The fishing line was pulled out for more than 200 meters, and it seemed to have better endurance. It took about an hour and a half for Zhang Ze to pull it to the side of the boat. Perhaps it was also related to the fact that he was more tired than before.
I thought that what appeared on the water surface was still a hint of red, but it turned out to be a flash of gold, and gold coins exploded!
"Yellow croaker?"
Zhang Ze's lips were trembling. He didn't expect that he would catch such a dream fish before leaving Wenshui City.
It is about two meters long and weighs about two hundred kilograms. In the future, this must be worth more than three million kilograms, right?
Zhang Ze has also seen the news about the three million yuan price of yellow croaker, and it has appeared several times. Those fish were not as big as this one!
It is not realistic to ask him to wait until then to sell.
The reason why the price is so high in later generations has a lot to do with the fact that the yellow croaker has been included in the protection list and its number is becoming increasingly scarce.
The number of yellow croakers along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still quite good. Fishermen often catch them, and occasionally there are some as large as one to one and a half meters.
Although the number at this time was much larger than in later generations, the yellow croaker was still precious and was regarded as a top-quality tonic.
Almost everyone knows that the most valuable part of the yellow croaker is its swim bladder.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fish maw is dried and made into fish glue, which has the special effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, and is especially effective in stopping bleeding. It is very effective in curing postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women.
Therefore, in the past, when fishermen in fishing villages or islands caught yellow croaker, the whole village would celebrate and share the catch.
The fish maw will be dried and stored, and used for first aid if a woman in the village is bleeding after giving birth. This is usually done in villages formed by family ties.
The village where Zhang Ze lived was relatively large, and later became a township divided into nine small villages.
So there are all kinds of surnames in the village, the population is quite diverse, and even people with the same surname in the same village can get married as long as they are not relatives, which is different from many places.
For example, although Zhang Qinghe and he both have the surname Zhang, their ancestors came from different provinces and they both moved to Wenshui City later.
After Zhang Ze came back to his senses, he quickly took out the fishing rod from the base, went to the stern of the boat and put the yellow croaker into the space.
[Successfully caught a yellow croaker, weighing 241.27 catties, experience (fish king) +10000. ]
"Hiss~"
The length of this yellow croaker was also revealed in the space, which was indeed over two meters, reaching two hundred and thirty-two.
The weight was also much heavier than he expected, almost close to two hundred and fifty.
In later generations, this road cannot be bought without five million yuan, and if it is sold to Nanfang, it may be even more expensive.
It is not uncommon for bosses in Wenshui City to buy fish and resell them to bosses in Nanguan, making hundreds of thousands of dollars just by reselling them.
An increase of 10,000 experience points is a lot, almost half of the upgrade.
Originally, it was necessary to wait until all the harvest from the rope was brought up before upgrading, but now Zhang Ze directly upgraded the space to level 22.
[Fishing Space (Level 22)]
[Experience: 0/22000]
【Function: Magical bait, growth】
【Space size: 220 cubic meters】
[Fishing experience: 7456]
Now, if the level is upgraded, the space will increase by ten cubic meters, but what Zhang Ze is most concerned about is the growth function.
Both king fish can use this function. It only costs one hundred experience points to increase the size and weight of the fish by another 30%. The cost-effectiveness is very high.
So Zhang Ze chose the yellow croaker and used the growth function.
[Yellow Lip Fish (Fish King) uses the growth function, which requires 10,000 experience points. Are you sure? ]
Ten thousand? Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the experience points given by the fish king were one hundred times that of ordinary fish, and the consumption of using the growth function was also one hundred times.
Is this space also playing with the law of energy conservation? Even if it costs 10,000 experience points, it is worth it. It is indeed worth the price, but the experience points are not enough! As for the red friend fish, Zhang Ze also selected it and tried it, and found that as long as it is a king fish, it will cost 10,000 experience points.
The purchase price at the aquatic station is only 55 cents per pound, so 187 pounds is just over 100 yuan.
Even if the fish is sold to Zhao Xianghua because it is big, the price probably won't be much higher.
Red friend fish is not seven-band grouper. In fact, its meat will become a bit rough when it grows bigger.
Secondly, it is not a sturgeon, and there is not a single valuable fish maw in it.
In the end, Zhang Ze was still reluctant to give up the 10,000 experience points, mainly because even if the weight of the fish increased by 30%, it would only increase by a few dozen points, and the price he paid was too high.
Shaking his head, he took a short break and then continued fishing, waiting for the time to reel in the longline.
There were two king fish, one of which was a yellow croaker. I guess they had used up all the luck they had accumulated recently.
Zhang Ze fished for more than two hours and only caught five red fish, each weighing seven or eight kilograms.
There was not a single grouper, so he simply gave up fishing and went back to lie down and waited until midnight before setting out the boat to reel in the longline.
However, before collecting the longline, Zhang Ze first collected all the shrimp cages and ground traps.
There was indeed a bigger harvest at night. Hualong directly harvested 27 of them, each weighing over 100 kilograms.
There are a few other gains, but they are not worth mentioning.
Then he went to collect the longlines, quickly gaining some experience points to increase the number of yellow croakers, and to make more money so that he would have enough budget to buy a better boat when he went to Nanfang.
Zhang Ze first reeled in the nearby longline, and as the sub-lines were pulled up one by one, red snappers also entered his space.
This was pretty much what he thought, after all, all the fish he had just caught nearby were red snappers.
Huh? Zhang Ze was stunned.
He suddenly realized why he hadn’t caught much fish in the next two hours. All the fish were probably caught by the longline!
It seemed that it was not because he had consumed his savings and future luck, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After collecting one longline, he was still short of 700 experience points. After he collected the second longline, his experience points exceeded 10,000.
Zhang Ze immediately selected the yellow croaker and turned on the growth function. Then a countdown appeared on the yellow croaker's forehead.
At this time the next day, he would receive a yellow croaker weighing 313 kilograms.
Zhang Ze couldn't even imagine how much this fish could be sold for.
