As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 544 - 340 Poseidon Mode_2

Chapter 544: Chapter 340 Poseidon Mode_2

It does look quite like a Golden Spearfish.

Chu Mingcheng hesitated briefly before quickly opening the map to check, only to discover that these were neither Big-Eye Tuna nor Bluefin Tuna.

Could they be some other fish?

The weather at his current location was quite cold, with temperatures around thirteen degrees during the day.

Today was also overcast. The sea breeze was cold and damp, feeling almost like a magical attack.

Chu Mingcheng debated between hunting and fishing for a short while and eventually decided on fishing.

While diving, he wouldn’t feel cold in the water.

But each time he surfaced, the blast of cold seawater was indeed hard to endure.

For fishing, as long as he wore his windproof gear properly, even a strong sea breeze wouldn’t be a big problem.

His main purpose was to unlock new aquatic species, not to stock up on supplies.

So, he took out a heavy-duty boat rod and set it up at the stern of the ship.

For bait, he used some deep-sea fish he had hunted himself, which he couldn’t finish eating; they were just right for the task.

He filled the bait cage with Antarctic Shrimp and hung a small fish over twenty centimeters long before throwing the baited hook into the water.

Under the weight of the ten-kilogram sinkers, the hook quickly sank to a depth of over three hundred meters.

He turned off the reel, and the released fishing line abruptly stopped. Chu Mingcheng then sat on the chair, waiting for a big fish to take the bait.

Attracted by the bait function, it didn’t take long for a large fish to bite.

The fishing rod suddenly bent over, making a squeaking noise.

Chu Mingcheng quickly stood up and grabbed the rod firmly. As soon as he got a feel of it, he knew it definitely wasn’t a Golden Spearfish.

It lacked the explosive force of a Golden Spearfish but was exceptionally heavy, indicating that the fish was not small.

"Could it be a shark?" Feeling a back-and-forth pulling force, he knew the fish below was gill-washing, which somewhat resembled a shark, making Chu Mingcheng somewhat gloomy.

However, he had no intention of cutting the line since many sharks were also considered valuable aquatic products.

Thus, he rarely harmed sharks in his own country, but that did not mean he wouldn’t do so in international waters.

Chu Mingcheng removed the fishing rod from the ship’s rail and held it in his arms, constantly pulling in the line to prevent the fish from having time to wash its gills.

The fish was indeed large, but he had caught giant Flagfish weighing several hundred kilograms before; this fish, weighing at most around one hundred kilograms, was actually very easy to reel in.

It took about fifteen minutes, and a dark fish appeared on the water surface.

It was a fish he had never seen before, and it wasn’t a shark.

Chu Mingcheng immediately released the handle, grabbed the gaff next to him, and accurately hooked the fish’s head.

The unknown large fish flinched from pain and thrashed its tail forcefully on the surface a few times, splashing water high into the air.

But in the end, he pulled it aboard through the small door, and the experience points of his High-quality Atlas increased by one, reaching ninety-two.

Compared to the experience points, Chu Mingcheng was more curious about the unidentified fish.

After a careful examination, he suddenly recalled the oil fish data he had seen before.

When searching for oil fish, he seemed to have accidentally come across the information of the fish before him.

So, he went forward and examined the fish’s dorsal fin and tail, confirming the origins of the fish.

White Spot Naked Head Fish, a type of cold-water deep-sea fish from the North Pacific, existing all the way from Japan to Country Chou’s California waters.

Chu Mingcheng was impressed with this fish because it, too, was a type of "oil fish."

But this oil fish was different from other oil fish like the Snake Mackerel, which have a substance in their bodies that humans cannot digest.

The White Spot Naked Head Fish, however, simply has a high fat content, reaching up to 50%, even more extravagant than the Bluefin Tuna.

After all, the fat content of Bluefin Tuna is only 20%.

The White Spot Naked Head Fish is naturally edible, and its taste is excellent, though eating it raw feels like eating pure fat.

Eating too much can also cause diarrhea, just like eating too much marbled beef, as the excessive fats undigested by the body are naturally expelled.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the dark large fish, and a mischievous smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Good stuff must be shared, after all!

But one fish might not be enough, so he re-baited his hook and continued fishing...

A day and a half later, the Sea God sped back to domestic waters at its fastest speed.

Since he chose to return, his High-quality Atlas had naturally upgraded.

[High-quality Atlas (Max Level)]

[Unlock Capture Tools: Hand, Fishing Gear, Harpoon, Shrimp and Crab Cage, Longline]

[Aquatic Grade Maximum 50 Levels]

[Unlocked Aquatics: 1 Mud shrimp, 2 Crucian Carp, 3 Whitebait...]

[Special Ability: Sea God Mode]

With this upgrade, Chu Mingcheng found that the original function of the Aquatic Atlas had disappeared, leaving only the new Sea God Mode.

Even the interfaces for the High-quality Atlas, the Standard Atlas, and the Giant Fish Atlas were gone, replaced by an entirely new Fishing Atlas.

[Fishing Atlas: (Level 15)]

[Current Experience: (213/1500)]

[Usable Tools: Hands, Fishing gear (hand-torn), Harpoon (including spear and lasso), Trailing Hook]

[Fish Gathering (Level 15): All economically valuable aquatic products within range have a 15% chance of being attracted]

[Influence Range: 15-meter radius]

[Quantity Increase: In the host’s country, the number of all aquatic products will increase by 15% annually without affecting the ecological balance, based on the count on the first day of each year.]

The flavors and sizes had disappeared, and the functions related to the reproduction of marine life had also changed, becoming purely about production.

So, did he still need to keep fishing?

Last, there was the Sea God Mode.

Sea God Mode also provided a second-level panel, which was about his personal data panel.

This was something new, and it provided him a more intuitive understanding of his own body now.

[Host: Chu Mingcheng]

[Strength: 1500 kilograms]

[Land Sprint Speed: 100 meters in 8 seconds]

[Highest Speed in Water: 100 meters in 7 seconds]

[Maximum Diving Depth: 1500 meters]

[Biological Communication: Enabled]

[Night Vision: Not yet enabled (needs unlocking 20% of Sea God Mode)]

He was faster in the water than on land because he originally faced little resistance in the water.

It also provided the maximum diving depth, which was very important for Chu Mingcheng.

Previously, he had only reached depths of seven to eight hundred meters, and even those were explored slowly.

This was actually quite dangerous; if the pressure exceeded his limits, his body would definitely suffer.

Now with specific data, he could dive with confidence.

He could reach most locations with this 1500-meter depth.

Going deeper was hardly necessary, as very few creatures could survive at such depths.

Of course, Chu Mingcheng cared most about the night vision capability, indicating that he wouldn’t need to bring a flashlight when he went deep-sea diving in the future.

Unfortunately, it needs to be unlocked to 20% of Sea God Mode first, and currently, he couldn’t use it under normal circumstances.

[Sea God Mode (0/10)]

[Experience: (0/50)]

[Unlocking Progress: 0%]

[Duration: 60 minutes]

[Cooldown: 1 day]

[Abilities: Strength three tons, land speed 100 meters in five seconds, water speed 100 meters in four seconds, capable of night vision.]

[Note: The host must capture five hundred types of aquatic products, excluding those already captured, to fully unlock Sea God Mode and become a true Ocean God. Every fifty captures will unlock 10%.]

"Five hundred types?" Chu Mingcheng was stunned; wasn’t this asking him to travel all over the world?

Just domestically, he couldn’t complete this task, as it required capturing aquatic products he hadn’t already captured, and even the Western Pacific wouldn’t suffice.

This somewhat disrupted his original plan of staying in his home country to become a wealthy man!

Feeling unsettled, Chu Mingcheng longed for a safe, peaceful life but also yearned for adventurous days traveling to different places.

He was even more curious about the fully unlocked Sea God Mode, wondering how strong he would become eventually.

After all, since it was activated, his strength and speed had nearly doubled.

But with the appearance of Sea God Mode and the improvement of certain physical qualities, the function of transforming life into physical enhancement was canceled.

Currently, life transformation could still be achieved by eliminating invading organisms, but it was limited to restoring stamina, energy, and healing wounds.
