Six o'clock in the morning.
The sky was bright.
Wu An got up and greeted Gu Anran: "Have you been here long?"
Gu Anran shook her head: "I haven't been here long."
Wu An washed up.
The table was already set with food: salted fish, pickled vegetables, and millet porridge. He said, "You can just buy some from the dock and bring it with you next time. You were on video chat so late yesterday, and you didn't go to sleep until the early hours of the morning. You still had to get up early to cook. How many hours of sleep did you get?"
Gu Anran also sat down, served herself porridge, and said, "I'll go back to sleep later."
"You're going out to sea again, be careful."
Wu An nodded.
He has already checked the system.
Luck value: 510 (230)
good.
Not too much, not too little.
He also bought some fishing tools from Boss Zhao, including fish traps, gillnets, longline fishing, and extra casting nets. When he encountered a school of fish, he wouldn't need to untie the nets before casting; he could simply pick one up and cast it.
Thirty rows of fish traps alone are enough to consume so much luck.
so.
This trip can easily be completed with a late departure and an early return.
However, it's definitely not possible to only use fish traps; gillnets and longline fishing can also be used selectively.
If you encounter a school of fish, you can cast your net and pull up hundreds of kilograms of fish, which is much better than using a fish trap.
Eat a good breakfast.
When people are well-fed and warm, they think of other things.
Wu An and Gu Anran lingered for a while longer before finally leaving the house at seven o'clock.
Gu Anran waited until he left before opening the curtains.
I sniffed and smelled a strange odor in the room, so I quickly opened the window. The slightly damp and salty air from outside came in, and I felt a little better.
She fetched some water and quickly washed herself.
I had planned to leave, but my legs were so sore that I called the old lady and said I would stay at the old house to help Wu An wash clothes and clean, and then go back at noon.
In fact.
Mei Yueqin took away Wu An's clothes to wash them.
Close the doors and windows.
The curtains were drawn.
I lay in bed and pulled a thin blanket over my stomach.
She just wanted to sleep in; she was exhausted early in the morning. She had only been lying down for a short while when sleepiness overcame her and she muttered, "Following Ah An, I think I've become a bad person too."
May Mazu bless you and bring you back safely.
...
Wu An arrived at the dock.
The beach was bare, and all the fishing boats that could go out to sea were already out at sea, making his fishing boat stand out in the eye.
Board the ship.
Mei Wu, A Qing, and Old Fu were already there, and everything that needed to be packed and prepared was ready. Wu An smiled and said, "Good morning."
Mei Wu raised his hand to show him his watch: "It's already 7:30, it's still early."
"I heard from Lao Fu that most fishing boats set off before dawn."
Wu An chuckled, a little embarrassed. They had agreed to meet at six o'clock, but he had made the three of them wait for more than an hour. Women, indeed, would affect his... cough cough, his speed of making money.
Wu An silently criticized himself.
But if you ask him if he will do it again next time?
They will definitely still knowingly commit the crime!
Why?
Now that the young couple has just gotten engaged, they're really enjoying the taste of life and want to be inseparable. It's already quite an achievement that he's able to go out to sea early and return late to earn money!
Besides, being intimate with Gu Anran is a big deal. Even if it takes a long time, it's impossible for the audience to get all excited only to see nothing.
...
He called out, "Let's go, let's set off."
"set sail."
"May you be safe and sound."
May Mazu bless you.
"A bumper harvest."
Everyone shouted a couple of lines, and amidst joyful laughter filled with auspicious meanings, the fishing boat slowly started, left the dock, and sailed out to sea.
Today, the wind and waves are quite strong.
The fishing boat rocked quite a bit, but we were used to it.
Wu An rested in the boat awning, while Mei Wu and A Qing followed Old Fu. Wu An asked them to learn how to drive the fishing boat, as they would all be able to stand on their own in the future.
Old Fu was very open to sharing his knowledge.
If he followed other fishing boat owners, he might have to worry about the possibility of "teaching the apprentice and starving the master," but he had no such worries when he followed Wu An.
Not long after we set off.
Wu An took out his phone, and Gao Qiangqi called.
"Brother Qiang."
"Ah An, have you gone out to sea? Ma Weiqun has also set off with his men."
"right."
"It's strange, how did that guy find you so accurately when no one was at sea to warn you?"
“Yes,” Wu An smiled and said, “but it’s alright, the truth will come out soon.”
Gao Qiangqi laughed along, "Be careful."
"Thanks, Brother Qiang."
"Okay, don't stand on ceremony."
After hanging up the phone, Wu An closed his eyes. Making money was naturally the top priority on this trip to sea, but it was also for fishing, specifically fishing for Ma Weiqun.
...
Passing by Life Island.
The sea conditions here are complicated, and no fishing boats are approaching.
But in the more distant waters, two trawlers can be seen operating.
Trawling operations in nearshore waters are still relatively rare.
According to Lao Fu, the trawler must have encountered a school of fish.
After watching for a while, Wu An realized that their methods of using fish traps were nothing compared to the methods of trawlers.
Old Fu often said that with his luck, if he were to do trawling operations, he could easily make a million dollars on a single trip to sea.
The only downside to trawling is that you can't go out early and return late. After all, trawlers are very large, and trawling operations involve going quite far. There are places to rest on the boat, and because the fishing boats are large, the catch can be loaded in large quantities.
According to Lao Fu, trawlers usually have to work at sea for at least a week, otherwise the fuel costs for a round trip would be quite high.
There's not much to say about that.
Making money is more important.
Old Fu asked, "Ah An, do you need to do homework here?"
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "Let's use a longline. We can collect it when we come back."
Mei Wu and A Qing set up the longline fishing equipment and began their work in an orderly manner.
Set up the longline.
Wu An casually gave him 20 points of luck.
Continue towards the cliff island.
Wu An suddenly noticed a change in the system.
The words "longline fishing" (20) appeared in the light screen.
Wu An tried clicking it.
The light curtain transforms into a two-dimensional plane.
On a dark surface of light, there is a point of light. If you tap the point of light again, the words "longline fishing: (20)" will appear.
Wu An suddenly realized.
The system upgrade actually added coordinates for tools that enhance luck.
"If it had been upgraded earlier, Ma Weiqun could have easily traced the source of the stolen trap," Wu An muttered. Could it be that the system developed this feature after the theft of the trap?
It's somewhat useful.
The light screen flashed, longline fishing: (19).
Hmm.
It can also monitor the consumption of luck points in real time.
Not bad, not bad.
It seems to be even more useful now.
