Well, she could tell he wasn't an ordinary person, so she didn't bother to ask any more questions and turned to go into the cabin.
Bored, Mingjing opened the Star Fishing Tackle Shop and noticed the words "Small Warehouse" written at the bottom of the shop's page.
Now she can store her fishing tackle at the fishing tackle shop.
As she was scrolling, her eyelids became so heavy that she could barely keep them open. Suddenly, two angry roars came from outside, instantly waking her up.
"Oh no, a torrential downpour is coming! Pull now, turn back!" Ming Dashan's hands moved twice as fast as usual.
The fishermen worked together to pull the fishing net, and the noise startled Mingjing awake.
She propped herself up and looked out the window. The sky, which had been a clear blue just moments before, was now covered with thick, dark clouds, and the sun was being swallowed up little by little.
The sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger, and the ship was rocking back and forth as if it would capsize at any moment.
Mingjing leaned against the wall as she walked out of the cabin. On the vast sea, azure waves splashed three meters high. Ming Dashan stood by the side of the boat, struggling to pull in the net, his expression contorted.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and the sea was gradually shrouded in darkness. Large raindrops pounded painfully against the surface.
"You guys haul in the net, I'll take the helm!" Ming Dashan handed the fishing net to the old man beside him and sauntered off to the driver's seat.
The fishing boat was rocking violently. Ming Dashan struggled to steer the boat around, trying to turn it around, but the waves were getting bigger and bigger, pushing the boat forward.
The heavy rain poured down, and most of the nets that were set yesterday were still not retrieved, the rain blurring everyone's vision.
Mingjing helped with the work, and it took them quite a while to collect all the nets they had set the day before. The group, still not having time to clean up, hurriedly hid back in the cabin.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the boat gradually slipped out of Ming Dashan's control, as if an invisible force was pushing them away into the distance.
Two hours later, the storm finally ended, and a sliver of blue sky appeared on the horizon. The fishing boats were moored near an island.
The ship was rocking violently, the bright lights made me dizzy, and I felt nauseous. I leaned on the railing and vomited until my face turned blue.
"It's an island!" Ming Xingwang breathed a sigh of relief, slightly excited.
Mingjing wiped his mouth and glanced at the island.
The vegetation is lush, and a low hill stands on the shore. Eroded by the sea breeze and seawater, part of the hill looks somewhat like a monkey.
"Everyone, let's get ashore and adjust before we set off again," Ming Dashan said, licking his chapped lips.
They hadn't expected the storm to be so strong, and they didn't have enough fresh water and food. If they didn't get some food soon, they feared they wouldn't be able to return home.
Despite feeling unwell, Mingjing jumped off the boat and headed towards the island.
[Warning: Danger and opportunity coexist here; please proceed with caution.]
Mingjing rolled her eyes inwardly: It's the same as saying nothing, it's all nonsense.
This island is rich in wild resources; even the grass is thicker than that in the fishing village.
On the beach, a group of elderly fishermen were gathering food from the sea with their tools, while Ming Dashan and a few others were inspecting the boats.
Mingjing wanted to use the equipment in the system to pick up some big loot, so she deliberately avoided that group of people and headed in another direction on the island, so that even if she was left behind, she could swim back.
After walking around the beach for a while, Mingjing found a puddle, picked up a stone, and threw it in.
"Bang!"
A huge fish leaped into the air, its colors vibrant, and it must have weighed four or five pounds.
Upon closer inspection, Mingjing recognized it as a red silk fish, which tasted delicious.
She exchanged a plastic bucket from her spatial storage, took out the harpoon she had exchanged earlier, and stuck it into the fish's back.
The luck value displayed on the screen is 610.
A small fish increased her luck by ten points, and she was very satisfied.
After catching the red silkfish, Mingjing deduced that there were still big ones in the pit. Since there was no pump, she had no choice but to scoop them out by hand.
Sure enough, there were two more red ribbonfish, this time even bigger than the first one.
Red ribbonfish are already expensive in the market, and this one was especially big, so Mingjing felt like he had struck it rich.
After confirming that there was nothing in the pit, Mingjing got up and left, continuing forward.
After wandering on the beach for more than an hour, Mingjing had only picked up red ribbonfish, which made her a little worried.
With so many red ribbonfish, it's hard not to arouse suspicion.
Mingjing opened the Star Fishing Tackle Shop page with a troubled expression, and was surprised to find that her luck value had increased to 710. Logically speaking, she should have more big catches as she went further.
She searched under the rocks but found nothing but a few flower crabs.
That shouldn't be the case.
Mingjing, tired from searching, sat down to rest on the beach. When she looked down, she saw a white object at her feet.
She dug around curiously, and the thing quickly retracted its head, leaving a huge hole in the sand.
Razor clams?
Mingjing was delighted; as a marine expert, she was very familiar with this thing.
It sells for over twenty yuan a pound in the market. She looked up and saw that her luck stat hadn't changed.
No, the big shipment is yet to come. King razor clams are valuable, but we can't have king razor clams everywhere.
Mingjing stood up and looked around the island.
The top is high and the bottom is low. The mountain is covered with vegetation, while the bottom is often affected by tides and is bare with many low rocks.
These rocks are the easiest places to hide large amounts of goods.
Mingjing tentatively walked towards the rocks closer to the sea. The sand and gravel under her feet were softer due to the constant washing of the seawater, and the rocks were smoother than those nearby.
When Mingjing bent down and flipped over the two rocks stacked together, her eyes lit up.
abalone?
Piles of blue abalone clung firmly to the rocks, some larger than a fist.
Mingjing bent down and reached out to pry the abalone off, but the suction was so strong that she couldn't get it off no matter how hard she tried. She had no choice but to exchange for a crowbar from the system.
I must say, the crowbar is really useful; I pried open several in a row with ease.
An abalone was hiding under a rock, and Mingjing reached out to touch it.
"hiss……"
Mingjing's hand was bitten by something, and when she pulled it back, blood was oozing from her fingers.
Could it be a crab?
Mingjing took the crowbar and slowly went down to the bottom of the rock. A swimming crab quickly scurried out from under the rock.
"You still want to pinch me!"
With quick reflexes, she caught the blue crab with her tongs and pocketed it.
Mingjing took the last abalone and looked at the beach.
Could the large shipment be abalone?
Curious, she removed the abalone for a look. Ming Dahai was skilled at touching abalone pearls; could there be abalone pearls here?
After carefully removing the abalone meat with a small knife and examining it thoroughly, no abalone pearls were found.
Abalone pearls are extremely rare, especially those from black gold abalone, which are the most valuable. If she could get ten of them, she would never have to worry about money for the rest of her life.
This type of bluish abalone usually doesn't have abalone pearls, and even if it does, its value isn't very high.
[Warning: Sharks have been spotted nearby. Please drive with caution.]
Mingjing: ? ? ?
Where did the sharks come from on the shore?
As she was thinking, a black fish fin appeared on the surface of the sea not far away and sped towards her.
With the system notification, Mingjing Station was quite far away.
After a black tiger shark herded a group of fish into the shallows, many of them became stranded. Knowing there was no hope, the tiger shark turned and swung its tail away.
Mingjing took a closer look and was overjoyed.
The beach was covered with yellowfin tuna and sardines.
Yellowfin tuna and sardines are extremely high in protein and have delicious flesh. Wild yellowfin tuna, in particular, is very firm and has a high market value.
There were more than a hundred fish on the beach, all lively and quite large, each weighing more than three pounds.
Mingjing was collecting fish on the beach by himself, storing them bucket by bucket at the fishing tackle shop.
Mingjing didn't know how long she had been picking things up. Her back ached from exhaustion, her vision blurred when she looked up, and her stomach was growling with hunger.
There were still more than half left to collect, and she didn't want to give up this good opportunity to get something for free. The seawater was rising, and some of the fish had already died and were floating on the surface of the sea.
