Wu An checked the system. The net had only been cast a short time ago, and he found that his luck value wasn't decreasing very quickly.
That makes sense when you think about it.
The price of yellow-eyed bands is generally low, and even if you catch a lot of them, it won't cause your luck value to drop drastically.
That's fine too.
As long as the internet is popular, the income is guaranteed.
It's 10 p.m.
Start the netting.
Wu An waited until his luck was completely exhausted before notifying the net to be set up. When the net was fully opened and he saw that it was bulging, he was quite satisfied.
If nothing unexpected happens.
This net should be full of ribbonfish.
He asked, "Brother Yongning, can you estimate how heavy this net is?"
Fu Yongning pondered for a moment and said, "If it's all fish, it'll weigh at least two tons, and possibly three tons."
If we take the middle one, it would be around 5,000 jin.
The crane creaked and groaned as Aqing went over to untangle the net. With a strong pull, the fish in the net rushed out.
"Ribbonfish, all ribbonfish."
"Holy crap, it's so shiny it's blinding!"
"These ribbonfish are so beautiful."
Everyone cheered and shouted with joy.
Unless the fish are very fat, any catch that yields such a large quantity in one net is something to be happy about.
Fu Yongning whistled.
First, set the net down.
Wu An had only fifty-odd luck points left, so he added them all up and said, "It'll be almost dawn by the time we finish this operation."
"Take a break when you're done."
Everyone responded in unison.
Fu Yongning didn't say much. What he really wanted to say was that since things were going so well, they should strike while the iron was hot and continue.
But the fishing boat owner had already said to rest, and he, a boatman, insisted on working.
Inappropriate.
He used to talk too much, and Old Fu had said a lot to him about it in private.
There are many ribbonfish.
After eating and drinking his fill, Wu An felt embarrassed to rest alone, so he decided to join in the sorting.
Ribbonfish is relatively easy to handle.
There were no novices present; they simply divided the grains according to different specifications and then stacked them one by one in the net basket.
Fu Yongning said this would prevent damage to the scales, but Wu An looked and found that most of the ribbonfish's scales were already damaged.
This is the problem with trawling.
There is no solution.
He couldn't help but complain a couple of times, but Fu Yongning said, "This is already very good. Look, the silver scales on these ribbonfish are basically intact."
"We still need to be careful when placing such a large object."
Shen Wen asked, "Is this considered good?"
"Quite good."
"oh."
Wu An suddenly realized that the luck stat had a fairly comprehensive effect.
After sorting through the fish for a while, Aqing complained, "Brother, this net of ribbonfish isn't as good as the last one. I picked out quite a few smaller ones."
"Look at this one, it's not even half the size of this one."
"It's a pity it's already dead, otherwise I would have released it back into the wild."
Ribbonfish basically die as soon as they're taken out of the water, let alone those caught in trawls. If one of them is still alive, it deserves a name like "Resilient Ribbonfish."
Fu Yongning turned his head and looked at her, then called out, "Aqing, I don't even know what to say to you."
"Your luck is just like Ah An's, it's unbelievably good."
"But his eyesight is really bad."
"Take a closer look, are the two ribbonfish in your hand the same?"
Aqing gestured with her hands: "They are different, one is big and one is small."
Fu Yongning was both amused and exasperated: "The small ribbonfish in your hand is a black-eyed ribbonfish, which is basically this size. The other one is a yellow-eyed ribbonfish."
"Take a close look at the eyes of the two fish; aren't they different?"
"Actually, you can tell from their body shape."
He couldn't help but make a comment.
Aqing looked at it and suddenly realized, "Holy crap, it really is!"
"Are these small ribbonfish any good?"
Fu Yongning nodded: "That's definitely good. The texture of this black-eyed ribbonfish is basically top-notch among ribbonfish."
"It should be around thirty yuan per kilogram."
"If it were a black-eyed band from Zhoushan, it would be even more valuable."
He was referring to wild ones.
Nowadays, there are more and more farmed seafood on the market, and the prices are becoming more and more affordable. In later generations, the farming technology for some seafood has matured, and ordinary people can buy and eat it whenever they want.
The catch from this net has just been cleaned.
It's time to start the next round.
Wu An saw that his luck value had been depleted. Although it had only been less than an hour, he still notified the authorities to set up the net. His reason was simple and blunt: he wanted to rest as soon as possible.
No one had anything to say.
Listen to him.
Although it was a short time, the net bag was still bulging after it came out of the water.
Mei Wu went to untangle the net.
Upon opening it, there were no surprises; it was mostly ribbonfish, along with a considerable amount of shrimp and crab.
"Brother, there are so many blue crabs."
"Damn, this crab pinched the ribbonfish in half."
"Aqing, don't hit it! This crab is worth a lot of money. If you break its claws, it won't be worth anything anymore," Wu An quickly reminded Aqing when he saw her acting recklessly.
Ah Qing reluctantly withdrew her hand, but still grabbed the blue crab and lectured it: "You, we're all brothers in the same net, what do you mean by squeezing someone to death?"
"Shall we just give this ribbonfish a quick death?"
"Believe it or not, I'll slap you twice?"
There were still a few ribbonfish damaged by the blue crabs, so Wu An simply picked them out and steamed them for a late-night snack.
Such fresh ribbonfish is a rare sight.
Everyone was working enthusiastically when Old Fu called out to him. Wu An came to the cockpit and saw Old Fu smoking. He asked, "Old Fu, what's up?"
Old Fu said, "Ah An, I'm afraid things are about to change."
"Look, it's late at night, isn't the wind getting weaker?"
"And the sight of schools of ribbonfish emerging and groups of blue crabs also seems rather unusual to me."
Wu An: "It really is true, damn it, does that mean the world is about to change again?"
"That's a bit too frequent."
Old Fu said, "That's how it is at sea."
"You'll get used to it."
"Besides, even if I told you, I wouldn't be 100% sure."
Wu An nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see."
Old Fu smoked his cigarette without saying anything.
There's no point in hiding this news. Since Old Fu said it, it's probably pretty much true. Everyone was a bit depressed to hear that things were about to change.
After finally having a great day of work, we can't just head back like this, can we?
After discussing it, everyone decided to find a nearby island to dock and rest for the night, and then check the situation the next day, or return to port when there was a clear weather forecast.
After having a late-night snack, it was past midnight.
Wu An glanced at the system and frowned.
Goodness.
His daily luck stat was only 288.
Compared to the upper limit of 2333, this amount of luck is really not enough.
What does that mean?
The system gave him a warning?
The next morning.
Wu An woke up and went to the cockpit. Old Fu said that the first net had been in operation for half an hour. Wu An checked the system and, wow, his luck points were down to just over ten.
He looked at it for a while, and then it dropped a little more.
This means I found some great stuff online!
Unfortunately, the system was unhelpful, only giving him a small amount of luck points. At this rate, he wouldn't have any luck points left before noon.
