pull.
Pull hard.
Wu An vigorously shook the reel and began to reel in the line.
The fish in the sea are also exerting their strength, desperately trying to dive into the sea.
The two sides traded blows, but as time went on, the balance of power tipped in favor of Wu An.
There's nothing you can do about it. Fish are quite strong in the sea, but they're still just fish. Plus, with all that pulling, the fishhook really hurts.
At first, because of the pain, the fish could still charge fiercely for a while based on its stress response. But after a while, the pain didn't numb them, but it made the fish want to cry.
The more you pull, the more it hurts, and the more it hurts, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
Gradually, it stopped struggling.
That's all.
I'm tired.
Whatever.
Wu An sensed the fish's struggle weakening and, seizing the opportunity, quickly reeled in the line.
soon.
They pulled the fish to the surface of the sea.
"Brother, I think it's black sea bream."
"Wow, this one is even bigger than the last one."
"It must weigh about ten pounds."
Aqing shouted and yelled.
The two people on the large reef next door had agreed not to look at each other, but when they heard Aqing shout, they couldn't help but turn around and look.
"Ah Qing, what are you yelling about?"
"Where can you find black sea bream weighing ten pounds or more?"
"I think the one Ah An caught weighs at most four or five pounds!"
The two shouted in displeasure.
Ah Qing laughed heartily, not shouting back at the two men. He told them to scoop up the fish, which was much bigger than before; no wonder it was much stronger.
To be honest...
Fishing is really fun.
In my previous life, I worked in the city. When I got off work at night and returned to my dormitory, I would pass by some small rivers with searchlights on both sides, where fishermen were night fishing.
At the time, he couldn't quite understand it. He thought these people were just bored and had nothing better to do. Weren't they tired from working during the day? Why didn't they get proper rest at night and instead stayed up all night fishing?
Now he understands.
I never knew fishing could be so fun, and you could even make money from it!
The two black sea bream and one sea bass he caught could fetch at least two or three hundred yuan if he sold them at the fish market.
In his previous life, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant and didn't even earn this much money in a day.
It's intoxicating.
It's so addictive.
Wu An continued baiting and casting; fishing with such gusto was exhilarating, he simply couldn't stop.
It hadn't even been a minute.
The fishing rod dipped, and another fish was hooked.
Wu An cast his line, which taut and slid through the water. Feeling the pull of the fish, he couldn't help but smile. Hey, another big fish!
Ah Qing was dumbfounded: "No, brother, you said you could take action, so you weren't just saying that casually."
"I think the two people next door are about to be tortured to death by you."
"They use their fishing rods to catch the biggest and most fish, and they watch with longing eyes. It's so cool, so incredibly cool."
Wu An laughed and said, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
The two people next door went crazy.
"I've caught another fish."
"How come this kid is so lucky?"
"God, you must be blind to let this scoundrel catch fish one after another!"
Not long after.
A sea bass jumped straight out of the sea.
It's like it's about to take off.
Ah Qing scratched his head and asked, "Brother, why is this fish turning its head so wildly, like it's on drugs? Is it in pain?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Maybe."
Lin Hu, standing nearby, couldn't help but shout, "You two idiots, this is washing your cheeks!"
Lin Bin coughed and said, "Don't remind them."
Lin Hu immediately shut up.
Wu An had never fished much in his life, and A Qing knew even less. When a bass washes its gills, it's trying to throw the hook off. Any experienced angler would adjust accordingly to prevent the bass from escaping.
Ah Qing said, "Brother, there's definitely something wrong with this."
Wu An smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We may not know how to fish, but we can still catch fish one after another. Unlike those two, who know everything, what good is it? They can only watch helplessly."
Aqing smiled.
He quickly stretched out the net and scooped up the fish.
Seeing this, the two people next door couldn't help but sigh and curse the sea bass for being such an idiot, managing to escape even though it was caught.
Ah Qing put the fish into the fishing box and said happily, "It's about the same size as the first sea bass."
Wu An cast his line and baited again.
The fish was caught very quickly.
The rod tip dipped slightly, but not completely.
Wu An quickly reeled in the line and soon pulled a small fish to the surface. Before A Qing could use the landing net, he forcefully swung the rod and sent the fish flying onto the rocks.
"It is Master Shi Jiu."
"It's about the same size as the one Lin Hu pulled up earlier, so small."
Ah Qing shouted with a look of disgust.
Lin Hu from next door: "...Damn it!"
He felt that Aqing was making veiled attacks, but he couldn't refute it yet. So far, he had only caught one Shi Jiugong. If he spoke to him, he would definitely be mocked by Aqing.
Aqing reached out to grab it.
Wu An quickly reminded him, "Be careful, this fish has bones."
Aqing nodded.
He knew this. When he was a child, someone tricked him into catching Shi Jiugong, but he was stabbed and his hand swelled up like a bun. He was in so much pain that he jumped up and down.
He was in so much pain that he cried, but those people laughed happily and called him a fool.
From then on, he stopped hanging out with those people.
Only Wu An never teased him.
Wu An carefully picked up the stone gourd and threw it into the fishing box. He said, "Stone gourds aren't worth much, but they taste delicious. If we catch a few, we can cook them for dinner tonight."
Aqing swallowed hard and nodded quickly, "I'll listen to you, brother."
Whether it was his golden words or not, the next three fish were all stone gobys. He was very happy, and the feeling of catching fish one after another was simply exhilarating.
Fortunately, Ah Qing helped him net the fish by removing the hook. He only needed to bait the hook with a rotten shrimp before casting the line, and there was almost no delay in between.
After pulling up another stone nine-gong, the luck value dropped again.
Only a little bit left.
After waiting for about four minutes, I caught another fish.
It is a sea bass.
"Brother, this sea bass is the biggest."
"It must weigh about ten pounds."
"Wow, that's impressive, bro."
Aqing showered him with praise.
The two people on the large reef next door were still in their fishing posture, seemingly unmoved. Well, what's the point of moving if they haven't caught any fish?
Wu An was used to A Qing's boasting, so the fish he caught wasn't that big, but it still weighed six or seven pounds.
And none of the fish he caught escaped, which made him quite satisfied.
As he re-baited the rotten shrimp and prepared to cast, he once again boosted his luck on the fishing rod.
Luck value: 11 (2)
Standard sea rod: (+3)
I had just cast my line and baited the hook, and before I could even exchange a few words with Ah Qing, the rod tip sank – I'd hooked a fish.
He was right.
Luck determines whether you can catch fish, and the higher your luck, the faster you catch fish, and vice versa.
"Brother, you're so fast! You've caught another fish!" Ah Qing was so envious that she couldn't resist her desire to fish and asked, "Can I cast my line?"
Wu An shook his head: "You fish for it yourself."
If the fish gets away, the relationship between the two will be damaged. They were sworn brothers in their previous life, watching TikTok together, but they turned against each other because the fish got away.
The comments section was flooded with expressions of understanding, with some even saying that even if the Three Sworn Brothers of the Peach Garden came back, they would still have to go their separate ways.
Aqing was frustrated: "Just like the two people next to me, my fishing rods aren't moving at all."
Lin Hu felt offended and shouted angrily, "What are you saying? We're not the same. I caught a stone goby."
Lin Bin waved his hand dismissively: "I pulled up a sea bass, what did you catch?"
Aqing was speechless after being rebuked.
Wu An glanced at the two men and mocked my little brother, "Did you ask me?"
He reached out and grabbed Aqing's fishing rod, adding his last two points of luck to it, and casually pointed: "Aqing, change your position."
Aqing was very obedient and immediately adjusted her position.
