However, the Wheel was something I could disassemble and clean myself; I couldn't let Old Lu get his hands on it. That old man had a habit of wanting to take apart anything valuable he laid his eyes on. If the Wheel fell into his hands, I couldn't guarantee it wouldn't end up missing a gear or a bearing, and then where would I find replacements?
Xiao Tian! The old man was already in his sixties, his arms were getting sore. We had agreed last night that the past was behind us, and he shouldn't hold any grudges against me. Respect for the elderly and love for the young—couldn't we just swap roles for a moment?
To get his hands on the flashlight reel, Old Lu even brought up the "No Retaliation Treaty" we signed last night. While it was true that we were letting bygones be bygones, there was only one Electric Reel on the boat. If Old Lu used it, I would be the one suffering.
Old man, you're a researcher; you should observe things closely. You've been using that Rod for two hours now—didn't you notice anything? From the feel to the material and the craftsmanship. Just take that guide ring on the Rod as an example; after using it for so long, didn't you notice anything off?
I had my concerns for your sake, yet you doubted my intentions! Old man, your words are quite disheartening!
With that, Shi Tianyi's face fell as if he had suffered a great injustice. Hearing Shi Tian say this made Old Lu finally pay attention to the Rod in his hand. He had been so focused on how it felt that he hadn't noticed three fish had come up. Old Lu confirmed that the Rod in his hand was not a Customized Rod; it lacked that terrifying vibration transmission capability.
Now reminded by Shi Tianyi, Old Lu began to scrutinize the guide ring on the Rod. It was ceramic but not ordinary ceramic; it was smoother than regular ceramic glaze.
No, let’s catch another fish to test it out—maybe a big one. Xiao Yu felt something was off! His arms no longer hurt, and his wrists weren't sore either. With a few Antarctic Shrimp hooked on, he casually tossed them out—the Wheel seemed strange!
Seeing Old Lu's energy replenished, Shi Tian smiled slyly; he figured he wouldn't have to disturb him again within two hours!
With a twitch of the rod and a push of the motor, within three minutes, a Red Gourd Fish came up—about four or five pounds. It was a good fish and quite valuable, but unfortunately, today's catch wouldn't sell for much; at most, it would add a dish or two for some old men—it wouldn’t even cover fuel costs!
Old man, fish deeper; there are fish around fifty meters down. Noticing Old Lu hesitating to let out line, Shi Tian casually reminded him.
Deep-sea fish lack strength; once you pull them up, they lose their energy! As Shi Tianyi said this, Old Lu continued searching for fish at depths above thirty meters.
He wanted to feel out each component's performance on this Rod and aimed to catch a fish that could put up a good fight. Fish at depths of forty or fifty meters would struggle if pulled up to about ten meters; with reduced water pressure, they wouldn’t be able to swim at all—completely devoid of any sensation.
A Xiao Yu came up, and Old Lu directly hooked it onto the Hook before tossing it into Hai Li.
Watching Old Lu's actions, Shi Tian was speechless. Why go through all this trouble? Just pull the iron plate directly; why waste so much time?
After changing the bait and toiling for over half an hour, a useless Sea Wolf sacrificed itself for a Xiao Yu that was barely ten centimeters long, leaving Old Lu exhilarated.
The thirty-pound Sea Wolf took Old Lu a full ten minutes to reel in, eventually lying flat, as if saying, "Do whatever you want!"
Checking the sky, Shi Tian took the opportunity to go online while pretending to head to the restroom. He confirmed that Shi Ye had taken care of things and decided it was time to go.
As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, Shi Tian was taken aback. He hadn’t noticed at first, but Old Lu had already disassembled the Wheel on the deck and was studying a bearing in his hand.
Rushing to his Fishing Spot, he was relieved to find that nothing had happened to his Electric Reel, Xia Shou. Otherwise, he would have fainted in the restroom.
That old man was terrifying; in the short time it took him to use the restroom—barely ten minutes while chatting with Shi Ye—he had managed to take apart the Wheel?
He needed to keep a close eye on this old man. If he suddenly felt inspired and decided to dismantle the boat, there was no way they could swim back from this distance!
Quickly reeling in his Rod while Old Lu was distracted, he hurriedly locked it away in his room.
"Old man, it's getting late; let's go!" After securing his Rod, he returned to the deck where Old Lu had nearly reassembled the Wheel. But what was going on with that bearing and gear in his hand? Don’t tell me you, as a Fisherman, can’t even put a Wheel back together!
Without missing a beat, Old Lu stuffed the bearing and gear into his pocket. Climbing up from the deck, he grinned at Shi Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, just now a wave hit us and shook a gear right over to Hai Li."
"If your Rod got damaged, it's my fault as an old man. So how about this: whether we follow your rules or mine, I’ll make it up to you."
