Shi Tian glanced back at Xiao Yu, feeling a wave of frustration. Reporting someone right in front of them? Was that really necessary?
"Hey! If you help me out, I’ll treat you to milk tea!" Sailfish immediately chimed in upon hearing Xiao Yu's suggestion.
This person was at a loss for words. Did they really want to be on TV? To bother the traffic police over this? It was hard to believe they could come up with such an idea!
Shi Tian shot a glare at Xiao Yu and distributed a few cigarettes among the group. "Don’t cause trouble for the traffic police. Do you see that Group Owner over there holding up a phone? If you just stop at the intersection over there, that Group Owner will come rushing over."
"When that happens, just act a little wronged. It’s too hot here in Sanya, and you caught a big fish but still haven’t made it home before it spoiled! They’ll have you trending online before dark."
Calling the police now would mean dealing with them for at least half an hour.
"Let’s hurry and get Qiyu Ge out of here; otherwise, we won’t be able to stand the smell in the shop. Will we even be able to do business today?"
"Oh right, I have something else to take care of, so I’ll head out first!" Shi Tian said, and Qiyu Ge quickly scanned to pay.
Once the money was transferred, he turned to leave, heading straight for the car without a second thought—he was definitely off to cause trouble with those tourists.
"Boss, how about you keep an eye on things while I go check out the excitement?" Qiyu Ge suggested. Xiao Yu immediately grabbed her phone to notify Xiao Feng that there was some drama unfolding and urged him to join the live stream.
"Go ahead, but remember to bring back two bottles of air freshener. We need to spray down the entrance; it’s unbearable!"
After sending Xiao Yu off, Shi Tian sat down behind the counter and began reviewing the shop's accounts.
Recently, their sales volume had noticeably increased. The Rock Fishing Tournament was still ongoing, and Heavenly South and Earthly North's Fishing Buddy had also appeared on the leaderboard. However, the current volume was still too low; fishing season hadn’t arrived in the north yet, so it would be challenging to drive overall sales with just this amount.
It would be better to send out more Hooks and stock up on Points so that when Rod sales skyrocketed, they would be prepared!
Qiyu Ge had become popular—no! He should be called Stinky Fish Brother now since that’s how everyone affectionately referred to him online. That title really resonated.
He had hooked a big fish but ended up being dragged into the river himself, ruining his pants and phone. As he lamented his misfortune to others, all he received in return was laughter. He’d have to nurse his wounds alone when he got home! Before he even got into his car, he had already been voted as the most unfortunate Fisherman of the day!
With tears streaming down his face as he returned home, his past fishing videos had gained quite a bit of attention overnight, adding tens of thousands of followers.
Carrying a brand new Smart Fishing Rod in one hand and an upgraded official Dian Xiao Er Fishing Box in the other, he boarded the Air Force ship.
Waving goodbye to Yun Wan'er and Li Ziyu who had come to see him off, the fully stocked Air Force slowly departed from the hotel dock as it set sail towards Xisha under the setting sun—no need for detours since it was on the way.
This journey would be long; they could only maintain cruising speed throughout. Otherwise, making a round trip to Nansha and fishing for several more days would cover over four thousand miles. If they ran out of fuel halfway back, it would be disastrous.
"Jun Ge, once we reach Nansha, should we stop by Brunei for fuel?"
As they entered the shipping lane, Li Lang took over command of Air Force. He would handle the first half of the night while Shi Tian took care of the latter half. As for morning—officially Air Force would be responsible then—but by that time they should have reached Xisha! He figured he’d only be responsible for fishing then.
Instead of refueling in Brunei, we decided to go to Singapore for cheaper fuel. A few of us sat on the deck, sipping drinks and chatting leisurely.
Nowadays, most large ocean-going vessels prefer to refuel in Singapore, which is due to its geographical location and the quality of services offered. In the past, Singapore wasn't as popular among the maritime community. When it came to refueling, they would pump air vigorously into the tanks. If you ordered ten thousand liters of fuel, by the time the bubbles settled, you might end up with only nine thousand liters. This phenomenon is famously known as the Cappuccino Effect.
Such practices were not uncommon, but eventually, Singapore tightened regulations and mandated the replacement of all measuring equipment. With transparent pricing, they managed to retain their clientele!
Is it worth going to Singapore for fuel? It's over a thousand miles away! The money saved is probably far less than the cost of fuel! I couldn't help but question Air Force's reasoning; with a round trip of over two thousand miles and considering Air Force's fuel consumption, would the savings from one tank be enough to cover the fuel costs for this journey?
We could go to Nansha West instead, which is much closer to Singapore—only a few hundred miles away! I casually mentioned this, but Air Force promptly sent me back to my cabin.
We still had to set sail in the evening; how could we not rest now?
