Sun Lang returned, carrying Shi Tian's fishing gear. Once inside the shop, he set down the equipment and opened the fishing bucket. Inside, there was only a Lionfish and a Shen Che Ge that had caught a Xiao Shi Ban, along with a Little Pufferfish from the sea.
"Be careful, the Lionfish is poisonous. Getting stung by it hurts much more than being stung by a scorpion!" Shi Tian warned. He planned to toss the Xiao Shi Ban into the tank and deal with the Lionfish later. He had heard that it made excellent Sashimi.
After reminding Sun Lang, Shi Tian intended to leave. The Fishing Box had been upgraded, and he needed to study it thoroughly in the backyard.
"That Lionfish is quite large! It would be a shame to make Sashimi out of it; sell it to me!" A Bro squatting by the tank showed interest upon hearing about the Lionfish.
Hearing this, Shi Tian turned back from the back door. Was he fishing or raising fish?
"Alright, three hundred for it!"
In Hai Li, the Lionfish had no natural enemies. Despite its size, once you cut off its spines and remove its bones, there wasn't much meat—two pounds of fish wouldn't even be enough for one person to drink with.
Upon hearing three hundred, the Bro immediately scanned his payment code and rushed to his car to grab a Fish Bucket, pouring both fish and water into it.
"A Red Snapper at the market goes for fifty per pound; your fish is less than forty pounds. I'll count it as forty pounds—two thousand four hundred is fair."
Three hundred for such a large Lionfish gave the Bro a glimmer of hope.
Hearing this, the Bro began eyeing the Big Red Friend again. Shi Tian's eyelids drooped: "You say that's farmed; can it compare to this wild catch?"
"At a hundred per pound, that's four thousand. I can pay right now! A Big Red Friend looks great in a fish tank; if I get hungry one day, I can just take it out and stew it—no waste."
A hundred per pound is for frozen fish; this one is still alive and kicking. Isn't a little life worth at least a thousand? Seeing that the Bro was reluctant to part with the Big Red Friend in the tank, Shi Tian decided not to rush to the backyard; if this deal went through, it would mean five thousand in his pocket.
Noticing that the Bro was still hesitating, Shi Tian pulled out his phone and squatted in front of the tank to take a close-up of the Big Red Friend, casually posting it in their group chat.
"Just caught this one—thirty pounds for five thousand! Anyone interested?" As soon as he sent out that voice message, the Bro was taken aback!
"What’s this? No sense of Wu De?"
"I want it!" The Bro quickly replied, pulling out his phone to scan and pay five thousand. Shi Tian smiled slightly; how could he get this Bro to make an impulsive purchase without some excitement?
Once the fish was handed over, the Bro took his own close-up of the fish and posted it in his group chat.
"Just caught a Big Red Friend—thirty pounds, pure wild catch! Anyone want to reserve? Ten thousand with drinks included!"
After sending that message, he shot Shi Tian a challenging look: who could play this game better?
Hearing this, Shi Tian licked his lips; was this Bro running a restaurant? He had been careless!
"Come on, leave your contact information. If I have more good stuff in the future, I'll let you know! This fish is already sold—no going back on that. But having such a high-end seafood connection means I won’t have trouble selling good catches in the future!"
After exchanging phone numbers and adding each other on WeChat, Shi Tian chuckled: "The fish in this tank are all fresh catches from this afternoon—all good stuff!"
If this Bro can pack the fish from the afternoon, even if it’s a bit cheaper, Shi Tian wouldn’t mind at all; it’s definitely more cost-effective than selling them to the fishmonger. Such low-quality goods aren’t even worth giving away! After finding a bit of presence here, this Bro smiled slightly and said, “Take good care of the fish. Don’t damage them. I’ll come back with another vehicle to haul them away. If they get hurt, don’t blame me for asking for a refund!”
Once the money was collected, Shi Tian chuckled and turned to head towards the small Workshop. Relying solely on fishing to make two million was impossible; he needed to sell fishing gear as well. With the upgraded Fishing Box completed, he had to see what other money-making opportunities were available so he could quickly pay back that two million!
In the center of the Workshop stood a large square metal device with a big touchscreen on top, likely capable of operating independently from a mobile phone.
He tapped on the touchscreen, which was quite similar to the Fishing Box menu on his phone, except it allowed for larger batch production and didn’t display Points statistics. There wasn’t much to see with the upgraded Fishing Box, so next, he would need to study the Rogue Software.
Locking the door behind him, he returned to the second floor and collapsed onto the sofa. Opening the Rogue Software, he found various Fishing Gear items folded in half, which was good news.
In addition, there were some new items popping up: Raft Fishing Inflatable Boat, Snorkeling Equipment, Underwater Diving Equipment, Underwater Spearfishing Gun, as well as various types of Wo Liao Bait. There was also a large number of items still marked as Gray due to insufficient Points.
