Playing with the jade in his hand, he watched as a fishing boat, twice the size of his Mini Light Boat, approached across the sea. They had encountered this boat earlier when they arrived, but it had not departed from Shenzhen; it was coming from Shanwei.
Most of the boats heading to Dongsha for fishing came from Shanwei. This particular fishing boat was quite luxurious and was said to be a new vessel that started operations just last year, named Lucky Star. However, it remained uncertain whether it would bring good fortune to the fishermen aboard and lead them to a bountiful catch.
The trip lasted four days and three nights, with a ticket costing eight thousand. Aside from equipment, all expenses on board were included; they needed to catch fish worth two thousand each day. Nevertheless, for Dongsha, as long as luck wasn't too bad and they avoided severe weather, they were likely to return safely.
The other boat had also stopped, but it was some distance away. With such a large vessel, he dared not approach too closely; the ocean currents here were strong year-round, making it dangerous to get too near.
"Jun Ge, Lu Ge, look at them—what a professional team!" He stuffed the jade into his pocket and took out his binoculars to gaze at the fishermen standing on the deck of the opposing boat. At this point, they likely wouldn't be casting their lines; they were probably organizing their fishing gear and setting up their fishing rod holders so they could start fishing at dawn.
The fishing spots on the boat were all numbered. After setting sail, they would draw lots; whichever number they drew would determine their assigned fishing spot, and they would receive a corresponding colored tag.
Once they caught a fish, they would tie their tag around its body. If the crew had time, they would help bleed and gut the fish; otherwise, they'd have to do it themselves. After finishing a round of fishing, they'd store everything in the ice chamber.
The group across from them seemed quite professional, all equipped with Mia Electric Reels that looked impressive.
These reels were quite substantial and came with a beautiful price tag—over twenty thousand each—indicating that their entire set of gear was not cheap.
He took the binoculars from Shi Tian's hands and glanced over at the other boat. They didn't seem like professionals but rather a group of fishing buddies who had bought similar equipment.
Watching their skilled handling of the gear made it clear that they were no novices.
"If they're a professional team, then what are we? The King's Team?" He tossed the binoculars back to Shi Tian and quipped.
Not to mention that each electric reel cost over a hundred thousand; just this yacht beneath them was worth more than an entire truckload of reels that they wouldn't even consider switching out!
Shi Tian had been deep-sea fishing for quite some time; what was there to be shocked about? They often saw Mia reels in Nan You and even more so in Xisha. It was only in Zhoushan where there were fewer because there were no tuna there.
"I'm off to sleep! We'll have our turn tomorrow." The fishermen spoke with their catches, not their equipment! He shoved the binoculars into Air Force's hands and felt the jade in his pocket as he headed down the stairs towards the deck.
He needed to hurry back to his room and lock this jade in the safe; once he locked it up, it would truly belong to him!
Seeing Shi Tian run upstairs, Shi Ye shook his head helplessly. "Can't you show a bit more ambition?"
"Jun Ge, did you leave something with Xiao Tian?" He fixed his gaze on Shi Tian and reminded him.
Hearing Shi Ye's words made Shi Tian jump onto the deck in fright and dash towards the cabin.
"Shi Ye is such a traitor; he sold me out so quickly!"
Watching Shi Tian rush into the cabin, Air Force smiled slightly. "It's just a piece of stone; taking it out is just for him to play with! Otherwise, why would I—a grown man—be playing with that?"
"I'm off to sleep; aren't you guys going to bed?"
Seeing Air Force heading off to sleep, Shi Ye glanced at those on Lucky Star who were busy using small rods to catch bait fish.
There are Bait Fish on the boat; should we head to the Fishing Spot for them? Fishing for Big Fish with Antarctic Shrimp didn’t quite work out, and I almost got nibbled by Xiao Yu. It’s better to use some Bait Fish instead—those Yan Zai and Chi Zai that are around twenty to thirty centimeters—or perhaps Squid Slice, as the regular Xiao Yu usually can’t handle that.
