Chapter 240 Upgrading the illustration book, gaining a thousand catties

(The incident of ciguatera in the last chapter has been changed, you can read it again, those who have subscribed will not subscribe again)

Jiang Luoluo was infected with ciguatera, and Chu Mingcheng stayed by her side to take care of her for a while, and did not go to sea again.

The five catering owners wanted to continue ordering from him, but he flatly refused.

Currently, he has no way to test the ciguatera virus in coral fish, and has not found a suitable testing agency, so he dare not catch coral fish for the time being.

Chu Mingcheng has also considered a problem, which is to find a partner for long-term monitoring of ciguatera in coral fish.

Xiamen University seems to have a marine science major, and I don’t know if there is a course on ciguateravirus monitoring.

You can ask Bai Yueke about this, that is, the Xiamen University student who made him alligator gar specimens.

It’s just that the time of this year’s fishing ban has been determined, starting from April 15th and ending in August.

There is only one month left before she can go to sea. After Jiang Luoluo recovered, she decided to take the driver's license test first and apply for a visa to Australia by the way.

Chu Mingcheng feels that there is no need for any cooperation at this time. After the fishing ban comes back, he will go hunting tuna exclusively. It is estimated that coral fish will not have much time to contact by then.

So asking about the ciguatera test was temporarily left behind by him.

While Jiang Luoluo was recovering, Chu Mingcheng did not forget to fish for scavenger hunts, catch apple snails, etc. to improve his physical fitness.

After Jiang Luoluo recovered completely, he continued to go out to sea, but this time he spent most of his time wandering around in the sea, looking for fish with the fish finder.

Here on the Crescent Island, he would still come over every time to develop a relationship with the three sea lions, and catch some nine-section shrimp and rich shrimp by the way.

The quantity of these two kinds of shrimps was somewhat beyond his expectation. After half a month of continuous shrimp pots, the number of catches was almost the same each time.

This made Chu Mingcheng realize that it is completely impossible for him to destroy a group by himself.

And he was very measured, releasing all the small shrimps, not to mention the seeded female shrimps.

Secondly, although reef fish are not caught for sale, he found that there are many aquatic creatures that he has never caught.

The aquatic product guidebook will be upgraded soon. Chu Mingcheng feels that it is necessary to upgrade the guidebook to level 3 before going to Australia, so every time he comes to Crescent Island, he focuses on hunting aquatic products that he has never caught.

During the last ten days of the fishing ban, he encountered a group of red kingfish under the leadership of Xiao Hei, and the aquatic product guide was successfully upgraded.

Looking at the big fish in front of him, the largest of which was more than one meter in size, Chu Mingcheng, who was holding a big fish of meter level, gradually revealed an expression of excitement at the corner of his mouth.

It’s been a long time since I encountered such a big school of fish, and it’s still such a big fish.

Red kingfish was originally produced in Ugly country, and later multiplied in China in 1995. Therefore, this kind of fish also appeared in the coastal areas of China, which can be regarded as an imported aquatic product.

The price of this fish is not expensive. The market price is about 30 yuan per catty, and it is about 18 yuan when sold to a fishmonger.

It doesn’t matter if the price is cheap, this fish is big, as long as you hunt more, you will earn a lot.

Three sea lions rushed up to catch the fish when they saw the school of fish.

It’s just that the red drum is not slow to swim, and they are not so easy to catch.

This is not the point. The point is that the fish school doesn’t seem to intend to stay here. Even if they are attacked, they will gather together again the next moment and continue to swim east. Their goal seems to be in the far sea.

Red kingfish will gather in large numbers in early autumn, and then go to coastal estuaries to breed the next generation. Now is obviously not their breeding season.

But they are migratory fish, so it is not surprising to meet a group of them running to the far sea. It is pure luck to meet them today.

Chu Mingcheng has a bit of a headache. If they don't stay here, he can only get a few at most.

He couldn’t get too far away from the boat, and the boat couldn’t keep up. The main reason was that the battery life was not enough. It would be great if the three sea lions could stop them.

When this idea appeared in my mind, the three sea lions who were still hunting suddenly stopped.

Then they swam out quickly, and under Chu Mingcheng's astonished eyes, they began to try to intercept the school of fish.

Could it be

Chu Mingcheng took a quick glance at the aquatic products illustrated book, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

The illustrated book has been upgraded, and the new functions seem to have solved his two biggest worries at present.

But now is not the time to take a closer look. I don’t know if the three sea lions can stop a huge school of fish.

However, they can at least delay the speed of the school of fish leaving, but there is absolutely no way to surround the school of fish in a range like killer whales, mainly due to the small number.

Chu Mingcheng quickly reloaded the speargun, and aimed again at a lone red drum.

Press the trigger, and the fish arrow pierces the belly of the fish with a whoosh.

A strong pulling force came, but Chu Mingcheng firmly grasped the fishing line, and his body did not move at all.

Twenty-six days have passed since Jiang Luoluo recovered from ciguatera poisoning.

In the past twenty-six days, although he didn't scaveng the scavengers every day, and sometimes he didn't even use up to four hours, but he still used more than 130 times of life transformation.

His current physical fitness is definitely not worse than James at his peak, or even stronger.

Chu Mingcheng's basketball skills are not good, otherwise he would definitely have a place in the NBA.

As for playing football, he is a fisherman, so there is no need to go and grab sea cucumbers from others.

Therefore, he stood upright in the water, pulling the fish back bit by bit steadily with both hands.

At this moment, he is not like Captain Ugly, but more like Sea King.

Soon the fish was pulled to the front. Chu Mingcheng grabbed the head of the fish with one hand, but the tail of the fish swung vigorously, causing his arm to also swing.

He is very powerful now, but he will still be affected by these rice-level fish.

If he catches a rice-level fish with one hand, but his hand remains motionless, then he will probably be the real version of Aquaman.

Of course, it is a weakened version.

After all, Neptune still has many special abilities, which cannot be obtained by simply improving physical fitness.

Take out the diving knife and easily cut the spinal nerve inside the gills of the fish.

Then without waiting for all the fish blood to dry up, the red drum was hung on the live fish buckle.

The fish arrow was retracted and reloaded.

Swinging his feet vigorously a few times, he rushed out with a whoosh, and quickly approached the school of fish that had turned their heads.

Relying on his strong physical fitness, his current swimming speed in the water is about twice as fast as when he first gained the ability to swim freely.

In the past, it was difficult for him to catch up with the fish with his swimming speed, but now, except for some famous speed players in the sea, he can already bully most fishes with his swimming speed.

It’s just that small fish are more sensitive, which he can’t compare to, so it’s still a bit difficult to catch them by hand.

Chu Mingcheng approached the school of fish and looked for the next prey. The school of fish swam by in front of him, making people dazzled.

Frightened by the three sea lions, the school of fish swims faster, which makes it difficult for him to choose prey.

Chu Mingcheng simply put it badly, and simply raised his spear gun and refused to choose.

Hit whichever one appears directly in front of him, it depends on their own luck.

The next moment, a red drum of seventy to eighty centimeters appeared at the position he locked.

Only a bang was heard, and the school of fish at this position dispersed immediately, leaving only this unlucky fish struggling constantly.

The rice-level red drum has no resistance in his hands, let alone this much smaller one.

Chu Mingcheng took it back at an extremely fast speed, let the blood out and hung it on the live fish buckle, and then continued.

I don’t know how long the sea lions can stop the school of fish, he must act faster.

For an entire hour, Chu Mingcheng did not appear on the sea once, but this time he had to swim to the surface, take a breath and return to the boat with the harvest.

The two live fishing ropes are full of red drums. The big one is nearly 1.3 meters, and the small one is 60 to 70 centimeters. None of them is smaller than 50 centimeters.

Twenty-four fish, the weight is estimated to be around 350 catties.

But Chu Mingcheng, who was dragging three hundred catties, returned to the fishing boat at a relatively fast speed. He untied one of the live fishing ropes and hung it on the boat first.

Then boarded the boat and brought another live fishing rope up directly.

It would be very difficult for him to pull up the three hundred catty catch, but it would be very easy to separate it.

Keep the fish on the deck first, and then bring up another live fishing line hanging on the boat.

Bring two foam boxes, spread crushed ice, and put all the fish that are more than 70 centimeters above the live fishing line into them and lay them out.

It turned out that the fish was too big to fit in the two foam boxes, so he had to bring two more boxes.

Those smaller than 70 centimeters were directly left on the side of the deck, and these fish will be rewarded by the three sea lions later.

It is thanks to them that the fish school can stay today, so it is natural to feed them.

After finishing it, Chu Mingcheng did not delay at all, and immediately jumped into the water again with the spear gun, and continued to hunt the group of red drums.

The performance of the three sea lions was a bit beyond his expectation, and every movement of the fish school would be stopped by them.

In addition, the school of fish did not choose to disperse and escape for some reason, and would regroup every time the formation was disordered.

So Chu Mingcheng was busy for another three hours, and his fishing and hunting activities today came to an end when the physical strength of the three sea lions seriously declined and could not keep up with the fish.

I went back to the boat four times in total, and each time I caught 24 fish, with an average of more than 300 catties. The total harvest today was about 1,400 catties.

But the three sea lions eat a lot, and the pile of fish on the deck of Chuming City weighs seventy to eighty catties.

These are all food for sea lions, and it is estimated that they can feed them.

With so many fish to eat, the three sea lions looked very happy.

But Chu Mingcheng was a little confused. He thought he could understand what the sea lions were expressing, but found that he couldn't.

Seeing Xiao Hei happily chewing fish, he tried to give an order in his heart: "Stop eating!"

Xiao Hei stopped immediately and looked at him suspiciously.

"Eat it!"

This time he said it directly, and Xiao Hei got permission and continued to eat the fish.

Chu Mingcheng suddenly realized that he thought it was his ability to communicate with aquatic creatures, but it turned out to be a unilateral order.

While the sea lions were eating fish, he went back to take a bath, and then sat on the sofa to study the new ability of the aquatic illustrated book.
