Chapter 1216: Fishing
Chapter 1216: Fishing
"Still in the Southeast Asia waters; today we will leave this area and head straight to Europe!" Little Dao said.
Ling Feng responded with an "Oh" and then asked, "How long will we be staying at the harbor?"
"Two hours. Tourists can go ashore to buy some souvenirs and such. While the ship is at the harbor, we can take the small boat out and go fishing. We can fish for about two hours!" Little Dao said.
"Sounds good, going ashore is boring. It’s better to fish out at sea; if we happen to catch a top-grade fin tuna, we’ll strike it rich!" Ling Feng laughed.
Little Dao also laughed, "That depends on luck. I’ve already secured the best old sailor on the boat; he’ll lead us to find the fish schools!"
"Alright, let’s get ready after breakfast!" Ling Feng nodded.
Their conversation wasn’t kept quiet, so passing tourists could hear it, but everyone was preoccupied with their own matters, and few paid attention to their talk.
However, someone in the crowd heard this segment and quickly walked away, heading to the upper deck where he found Wu Xiaoming: "Brother Ming, that guy is planning to go on the small boat to fish!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this news, Wu Xiaoming’s eyebrows raised immediately, and he asked, "How long until we reach the harbor?"
"An hour and a half!"
"Contact the ground right away and have them send a ship over. If we’re in the international waters, this might be the opportunity!" Wu Xiaoming said.
"Alright!"
The subordinate nodded upon hearing this and turned to leave immediately.
Wu Xiaoming squinted his eyes, thinking, "If this goes through, maybe the boss will see me in a new light?"
Then he turned to tidy himself up before quickly heading out toward the restaurant.
After Ling Feng and Ling Yao finished breakfast, Little Dao had already contacted the ship’s staff and rented a small boat for fishing.
Ling Feng was interested, and Ling Yao didn’t say anything against it, also wanting to try the feeling of fishing out in the sea.
Though they’ve already had countless catches in the Endless Sea, this time, after all, is with Ling Feng, so the feeling naturally would be different.
The two walked out holding hands from the restaurant, coincidentally running into Wu Xiaoming as he passed by.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Mr. Ling. Just finished breakfast?" Wu Xiaoming laughed.
Ling Feng smiled, "Yes, did you as well, Mr. Wu?"
"That’s right, the cruise is about to dock, so I’m thinking of finding a spot to enjoy myself. Mr. Ling, what’s your plan afterward?" Wu Xiaoming asked with a smile.
"Uh, we’re not planning to go ashore, we want to go fishing." Ling Feng replied.
"Really?"
Wu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You’re planning to take that speedboat, aren’t you?"
This time it was Ling Feng’s turn to be dumbfounded, then he smiled, "I’m not sure, since it’s all arranged by friends!"
"Oh, let’s see then. I also want to go sea fishing, maybe we’ll be on the same boat!"
Wu Xiaoming laughed and walked away.
Ling Feng was a bit speechless, turning to look at Little Dao, "Dao Bro, can others really join the fishing boat with us?"
"I’m not sure about that; we just paid for the fishing gear and time fee, but it wasn’t said to be exclusively booked." Little Dao replied.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng felt somewhat speechless, not annoyed by having others on the boat, just considering Wu Xiaoming a bit too familiar and talkative, somewhat annoying!
The fishing boat doesn’t have to wait until docking before leaving; it can detach from the cruise midway. So, Ling Feng and his group headed downstairs directly to the cruise’s lower deck.
Once they boarded the speedboat ready for sea fishing, they indeed saw Wu Xiaoming’s figure there!
He was still dressed in the same waterproof attire, and upon seeing Ling Feng, he warmly greeted him, like an old friend reunited after many years.
Ling Feng exchanged some polite words with him, while Ling Yao didn’t respond to this person at all, and Wu Xiaoming, seeing this, didn’t further engage, turning to fiddle with his fishing gear.
At Ling Feng’s side, his position was by the boat’s side, and his fishing gear was already placed there.
Ling Feng wasn’t knowledgeable about these things, nor was Little Dao, but fortunately, they had paid for a sailor’s help, so the fishing rods were set up quickly.
Then the speedboat left the cruise ship, heading in the opposite direction into the international waters.
To be fair, the ship’s service was quite responsible, equipping the boat so that tourists could enjoy sea fishing, with the captain being a professional and even equipped with a fish radar!
After traveling some distance, having chosen a sea region rich with fish, the speedboat anchored and stopped.
Ling Feng didn’t need the radar; his own Divine Sense could scan the world beneath the water surface, so he quickly turned and smiled at Ling Yao: "There are quite a few big fish down here; looks like we’ll make some catches today!"
"Is that so? Good luck to you!" Ling Yao laughed.
He could see the fish, but whether they’d bite the bait wasn’t up to Ling Feng.
So he could only cast the bait and put the hook roughly at the right depth; all that remained was to test his luck.
In just a few minutes after casting the line, whether it was Yu Linglong’s good fortune or not, a fish over two meters long took the bait!
Seeing that long stick on the fish’s forehead, Ling Feng thought this just might be fin tuna?
Among the most renowned seafood in the oceans, this was one.
Seeing the big fish take the bait, Ling Feng quickly tightened the fishing rod and started cranking the reel.
The other fishers, witnessing this scene, placed down their rods, hurrying over.
Experienced fishers could tell right away that the bend of Ling Feng’s rod indicated the size of the fish.
This must be a big catch!
Wu Xiaoming also rushed over at this point: "Mr. Ling, you can’t fish like this; you need to have control, tire the fish out before catching it!"
Ling Feng smiled upon hearing this, "Don’t worry; when I fish, as long as the line and rod don’t break, I can reel it in!"
Everyone was taken aback, feeling he was boasting!
But unexpectedly, Ling Feng was unfazed as he rotated the reel, facing what seemed to be a fish with thousands of pounds of force in the ocean, yet not feeling exhausted at all!
Moments later, a huge black fish surfaced!
Ling Feng gave a shout, and the fish jumped straight onto the boat, landing heavily on the deck with a thud!
Everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet, and someone exclaimed, "Danger!"
Ling Feng, quick-eyed and agile, noticed the fish was quite fierce, attempting to use its pointed head to attack upon boarding, so he delivered a swift kick!
With a bang, the big fish became motionless!
Then Ling Feng turned and asked, "Does anyone know what kind of fish this is?"
Everyone: "..."
"Mr. Ling, you are incredible; just after casting, you caught such a huge bluefin tuna!" Wu Xiaoming praised.
