On the ship.
lounge.
The fishing boat sailed smoothly on the sea. The weather was fine today, the sea was calm, and there was almost no turbulence.
Everyone sat together in a circle.
With the air conditioning on, people gathered around the stove to brew tea, and Wu An would refill anyone's teacup when it was empty.
Besides tea, there are also some dried fruits and snacks.
Mei Wu exclaimed, "Ah An, you really know how to do things!"
"I have to say, this feels pretty good."
"What is this called... brewing tea?"
"Gather around the stove to brew tea." Wu An smiled. The concept of brewing tea around a stove is not popular nowadays, unlike in later generations when it was commonplace.
In fact.
This method has existed since ancient times, but it became popular later because people had higher demands for leisure and entertainment.
Fu Yongning looked on and felt there was some danger, but considering that things were calm now, he didn't say anything.
Everyone was having a great time, and then he stood up and said it wasn't safe. Wouldn't that spoil the fun?
to be honest.
He was quite unaccustomed to such a leisurely life on the fishing boat.
A few hours later, Old Fu came and asked, "Ah An, the water around here is about a hundred meters deep. Should we try casting a net?"
Wu An nodded: "Okay."
"After logging off, it's time to have lunch."
"I'll heat up the food so everyone can rest for a while after we eat."
He didn't add any luck bonuses to the fishing boats; to be honest, checking fish conditions was somewhat pointless.
Because the fishing boat's luck value is depleted not only by schools of fish, but also by other things on the seabed.
For example, white-lipped oysters, ambergris, and even underwater treasures.
The fishing boat, with its added luck bonus, is best used for controlling fish.
Moreover, perhaps because it was the first day at sea and the system hadn't reacted yet, he didn't get much luck value today, only a little over 300 in total.
At most, you can only access three networks.
We need to use it sparingly.
It's worth mentioning that the luck stat has reached a cap of 1100.
He is looking forward to tomorrow.
Hopefully, the system can react and directly push the daily operating values to the limit.
After hearing what he said, everyone immediately got to work.
Aqing also got up to go out.
Wu An called out to him, "Aqing, don't go out, just stay in the lounge."
Aqing shook her head: "I have to go to work too."
Wu An: "Aren't you listening to me?"
Aqing nodded, then quickly shook her head and said, "Brother, everyone is working, it wouldn't be right for me to not work, would it?"
Wu An said, "No one will say anything."
“The wound on your face hasn’t healed yet. If you go out to work and sweat a lot, it’s easy for the wound to get infected.”
Aqing sniffed: "Brother, you're so good to me."
After saying that.
She actually cried.
Wu An was completely bewildered. What was going on?
He didn't know that Aqing was actually feeling resentful and wronged. His two cousins, who were his relatives, had been stealing his candy and bullying him since he was a child. Yesterday, they even beat him to a pulp.
And what about Wu An?
I always played with him and treated him like my own younger brother.
Family members.
Who could possibly hold back like that?
Wu An said irritably, "Don't give me this damn thing."
“I’m worried that if your wound gets infected, it will be a big problem, and you might have to return to base early.”
"If you keep crying, I'll kick you."
Ah Qing wiped away her tears: "Brother, then you kick it, I can't control myself."
Wu An was both amused and exasperated: "Go cry somewhere else."
He quickly came out of the lounge. It was a little past 11 a.m. The sun was blazing and the air was thick with heat. Although it was already autumn, it was still very hot at noon, except that the temperature difference between morning and evening was a little greater.
Wu An stood on the deck for a while, then felt he couldn't take it anymore. He went to the control room and watched Fu Yongning and the others lower the net. Old Fu said with a smile, "Ah Qing cried?"
"I thought this kid wouldn't cry."
"I was beaten so badly yesterday, I was screaming in pain, but I didn't shed a single tear."
Wu An said, "Aqing is still a child."
on deck.
Fu Yongning shouted loudly to direct the net-laying operation. They had already done it once during the last trial voyage, so this trip was still a bit chaotic. On a trawler, one person can't do the work alone.
We need to work together.
We are all still strangers to each other, and we need to gradually work together and build rapport.
Wu An thought to himself, "I'll organize some activities tonight to break the ice and help everyone get to know each other quickly."
After a while, the trawl net was successfully placed into the sea.
Old Fu nodded slightly: "Okay, no problem."
Seeing that Fu Yongning was talking to the Fan brothers and getting more and more excited, Wu An quickly went over to greet them: "What are you talking about? Come back to the lounge first."
Fu Yongning and his group walked over.
Fan Dali explained, "Brother Yongning is teaching us."
"Xiaozhu and I didn't do some things very well just now."
Fan Xiaozhu: "Yes, I was almost dragged into the sea."
Fu Yongning snorted coldly, his expression not very pleasant.
Wu An suddenly realized, smiled and said, "That's something to be careful about. Safety comes first, making money comes later."
"Since Brother Yongning is willing to teach you, then you should study hard."
The Fan brothers nodded repeatedly.
Wu An patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Okay, you're all sweaty. Go wipe yourselves off first, then come and eat."
The food was all ready-made.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all went to their respective spots to rest.
The trawling time is not fixed and can be long or short, but it is usually two or three hours. Since we are not familiar with this sea area, we will follow what Old Fu said before and shorten the time.
Let's see how well we've done.
If it's not bad, then continue with the assignment.
If that doesn't work, then we'll try again.
As the trawling operation began, the fishing boat slowed down considerably and rocked slightly. Wu An lay down and found a movie to watch, but just two minutes into the movie, he started snoring.
When I woke up, the movie was already over.
Wu An turned off the TV, stretched, and comfortably lay back. He looked around and saw that only A Qing was still sleeping; the others were not there. He went to the control panel, greeted Old Fu, and saw that Fu Yongning and the other three were already on the deck, preparing to haul in the net.
Old Fu said, "Ah An, it's time to haul in the net."
"Go and untie the net bag later."
"This is the first official net, let's get off to a good start with your good luck."
Wu An subconsciously checked the trawl net's luck value, and was about to nod when he suddenly froze: "Wait, there's no rush."
"We'll collect it later."
Old Fu was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
Wu An shook his head.
The luck value was only used up to about 20 points, which means the trawl net didn't yield much of a harvest.
How do you explain that?
I can't explain it.
He couldn't help but scratch his head. Just as Old Fu had said, this first catch had to be a great success. If the harvest was dismal, it would definitely be a huge blow to morale.
Old Fu didn't ask any more questions and told Fu Yongning and the other three to come back first.
When everyone returned, they learned that Wu An wanted the trawling operation to continue for a while. Although they found it a bit strange, they didn't ask any further questions.
Wu An asked Old Fu to adjust the boat's course slightly.
Old Fu did as instructed.
More than ten minutes passed. Wu An kept an eye on the trawl net's luck value, adjusted the boat's direction backward, and barely managed to drop it by 1 point.
This reminded him of the "Mingchao Formula" meme; his micro-management wasn't bad, but it was completely ineffective.
Just as they were about to set up the net, they suddenly saw a series of familiar figures in the distance.
It's a pod of killer whales.
Very good.
Tiger must be there too.
In this situation, he decided to ask Tiger for help.
