Finding schools of fish was relatively easy; the Sailfish were quite catchable. After just over two hours, five Sailfish were reeled in. Shi Tian and Scallion Ginger Fishy exchanged glances, both seasoned veterans in this game.
As they prepared to leave, they reeled in their lines, realizing it was getting late and they might miss the evening bite. Checking the time, Scallion Ginger Fishy reminded Shi Tian and picked up his rod, starting to reel in slowly and steadily.
It seemed the Sailfish Army had taken stock of their losses and decided to strategically relocate; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone half an hour without a single bite.
The color of the balloon was off; next time, he wouldn’t use purple. Red was much more eye-catching—definitely red next time! Fortunately, the first Sailfish had been hooked on his rod; otherwise, he would have been embarrassed in front of Hong Shun for not catching a single fish.
"Master, your rod is meant for fishing big fish; these little ones don’t match your status!" Hong Shun scratched his head, finally coming up with a somewhat forced excuse for Shi Tian.
"Is this fish not big enough? What size do you consider big? Are you planning to catch a Whale Shark again?" Shi Chui teased Hong Shun as he quickly reeled in his rod; they still needed to catch the evening bite.
Shi Tian's reputation for catching Whale Sharks had become well-known; whenever he had free time, people would bring it up. The video of that catch circulated in their group and had been downloaded by many fishermen who regarded it as a source of inspiration.
Once upon a time, there was even a rumor online that watching that video could increase one’s chances of catching fish. If you played it before casting your line, it would almost guarantee you wouldn’t come back empty-handed.
"What’s wrong with Whale Sharks? I’ve caught one before! If it weren’t for the Ice Chamber being too small, I would have invited it in for some air conditioning!" As he watched the others reel in their rods, Shi Tian reluctantly pulled his rod back into his hands and pushed the Electric Reel.
The surface of the water surged as a massive mouth broke through the waves. Shi Tian's balloon tied to his Fishing Set disappeared beneath that gaping maw.
"Master, I told you your rod is for fishing big fish! This has to be a whale!"
Watching the splashing waves on the sea surface, Hong Shun stood there dumbfounded, murmuring to himself while his eyes widened in disbelief.
Suddenly realizing what was happening, Shi Tian snapped back to attention—this creature was still on the hook! It must have taken the bait perfectly; he saw that giant swallow the hook. However, this hook seemed a bit small, and the line was too thin. If only he had replaced his rod with an Air Force model, perhaps it could withstand another round!
"A Bryde's Whale! An adult—it's over ten meters long!" Scallion Ginger Fishy exclaimed as he looked at the flustered Shi Tian who hurriedly pulled out his phone to record. This time he could boast about it again.
"I don’t know how many tons it weighs, but I do know that Star Brand Reel isn’t infallible; if the fish is too big, it won’t hold under pressure!"
After struggling for a while, Shi Tian ultimately decided they couldn’t drag this fish up; their boat simply wasn’t big enough—it was at least several meters shorter than a Mini Light Boat.
Moreover, this was a Guo Yi—a creature of the same caliber as that gentleman from Feiqiao. Had they inadvertently disturbed Guo Yi’s territory today? They had encountered two of them in one afternoon!
"What are you thinking? Do you want to adjust the drag and tire it out?" Scallion Ginger Fishy glanced at the smoothly unwinding Wheel and found himself at a loss on how to cut it!
"I have a dagger on my waist—use that! Hurry up! A meter of line costs over ten bucks!"
Though this fish was thrilling to catch, Shi Tian found it overwhelming. It must weigh around twenty tons; let alone an eight-pound Sea Fishing line—even towing rope might not hold up against such weight.
"I’ll handle the rod; you manage the line!" He handed his phone to Hong Shun while Scallion Ginger Fishy placed his hand on the rod, causing Shi Tian to quickly loosen the drag.
If he didn’t loosen it, Scallion Ginger Fishy wouldn’t be able to hold onto the rod. Among their circle of friends, only Lu Ya could manage for any length of time.
As soon as the rod fell into Scallion Ginger Fishy's hands, Shi Chui and Yi Laotou were eager to try their luck as well. But now wasn’t the time for them to play; reeling in was their top priority.
Such a large creature, Shi Tian dared not attempt to hook it. Its mouth was a size larger than a person's, and its body was not much smaller than a boat. With several companions nearby, letting the line go was the best choice.
Drawing a dagger from his waist, Rod cut the fishing line, which snapped immediately. Watching the loss of over two meters of line, not only had he lost a fish, but he also had to replace the line, costing him dearly—he was out ten thousand dollars!
"Master, that whale must be worth quite a bit!" Looking at the group of Sperm Whales in the distance, Hong Shun felt that the Ice Chamber would be their best home.
"Indeed, it's quite valuable. It's a national first-class protected animal; catching one starts at ten!" Shi Tian gave Hong Shun a playful slap on the head, thinking his apprentice was too focused on money.
There were cases of whale fishing, and Shi Tian's catch wasn't even the largest. Just recently, a foreigner known as Brother Huang Pao caught a Sperm Whale that was even bigger than Bryde's Whale, weighing nearly thirty tons.
"Learn to operate a boat from your Shishu; I'll get you a license. Next time we go fishing, you can handle the boat. With that license, you can take your Shiye out for sea fishing during your breaks."
He pushed Hong Shun into the cabin and went to catch a few Xiao Yu from the Living Water Tank. Bai Qi helped him locate the fish schools; he had to reward him properly.
If he could train a Naval Bird to help him find fish, then Tan Yu Yan could retire—Naval Birds were far superior to Tan Yu Yan.
After eating several Xiao Yu, Shi Tian sprawled on a lounge chair, realizing he had been roped into this by Bai Qi!
Lying on the beach of Wild Boar Island with his head resting on Kang Ziyu's thigh, Shi Tian gazed at the azure sky, his eyes slightly unfocused. Wild Boar Island had been completed; he had just transferred ownership yesterday when Rogue Software decided to stir up trouble.
The Fishing Menu turned red and stopped producing items; upgrade options were grayed out. It seemed they were forcing Shi Tian to become a farmer and manage the Nong Zi Menu.
Shi Tian had previously wondered why he could only cook with the Nong Zi Menu. Now he understood: it was because he didn't own any land and couldn't meet the activation conditions—just like when he couldn't unlock Rogue Software because he hadn't bought a Rod.
Fortunately, the Fishing Box and Workshop were unaffected; he could still craft items that had been unlocked before, so it didn't hinder his ability to earn money.
"Xiao Yu, let's clear some land here and plant some vegetables!" Focusing on Kang Ziyu's face, Shi Tian caressed her hand and lightly kissed her lips.
"Let's plant some strawberries; I love strawberries." Kang Ziyu looked down at Shi Tian and smiled sweetly.
"Alright, I'll plant some for you right now!"
