Chapter 559: Chapter 347 Unforgettable Fish

"Ready~" As the woman on the black man’s boat gave the order, Chu Mingcheng and the black man started simultaneously.

The black man, with his powerful burst of energy, vigorously rowed his oars.

However, he had just rowed a couple of strokes when he stopped, staring open-mouthed.

Of course, it wasn’t his fault, as the woman on his boat wore the same expression.

Only Jiang Luoluo knew from the start, so she smartly turned around and firmly grabbed the handrails of the boat.

They saw a small glass boat on the sea, speeding through the water and leaving a clear trail behind it as if it had powerful propellers.

Chu Mingcheng made his oar blur like a ring of fire.

In just a short while, he successfully reached his destination.

Looking around, he asked, "Luoluo, where’s the black man?"

"Huh, right, where’s the person you were racing with?" Jiang Luoluo had been enjoying the thrill of speed and now looked around, but saw no trace of the other competitor.

The two of them didn’t know that the black man’s challenge had an ulterior motive.

They just didn’t expect Chu Mingcheng’s rowing style to be so exaggerated that the opponent sneaked away before they realized it.

"Forget about them, let’s keep having fun!"

Chu Mingcheng didn’t care much and knew to be cautious with interactions, whether with locals or foreigners, while abroad.

The black man had approached them with a definite purpose, but he had originally planned to entertain the man before he left on his own.

Later, he and Jiang Luoluo continued boating on the sea, and in the afternoon, they went diving and fishing.

As the captain drove the boat to a suitable fishing spot, Chu Mingcheng saw several Bayaon men fishing along the way.

They held wooden fishing spears, wore goggles, and were shirtless, without any other equipment.

Seeing Chu Mingcheng’s interest, the captain asked Jiang Luoluo for permission, and upon their approval, he steered the boat towards them.

Approaching them, the captain greeted one of the Bayaon men, and seeing how familiar they were with each other, they obviously knew each other.

Then, Chu Mingcheng learned from Jiang Luoluo that this Bayaon man was the best diver and fisherman in their tribe.

He could hold his breath for over ten minutes and often caught two to three fish at once.

Curious about how their fishing differed from his own, Chu Mingcheng decided to dive here and observe their techniques.

Two hours later, he left with several fish, amid the astonished looks of the Bayaon men.

On the boat, even Jiang Luoluo kept glancing at him, hesitant to speak.

"Why do you keep looking at me? If you have something to ask, just ask," he said.

"Since when did you become so good at holding your breath? Even the Bayaon people can’t match you?"

Jiang Luoluo had thought Chu Mingcheng’s limit would be around six or seven minutes.

But today, he surpassed a group of Bayaon men who could hold their breath for over ten minutes, reaching up to fifteen minutes.

If she didn’t know his background, that he had parents, she might have suspected him of being a merman.

"Well, I guess I’m just uniquely gifted! Besides, frequent diving can actually improve your skills. For instance, you can now hold your breath for three minutes, right? That’s also trained," he explained.

Chu Mingcheng showcased a bit of his ability today so that if one day he forgot the time while diving, Jiang Luoluo would at least be mentally prepared.

It was manageable back in China where he often went out to sea alone.

But now, on a global trip with frequent diving excursions, some of his abilities were bound to be exposed.

Jiang Luoluo had always known Chu Mingcheng had some secrets, especially his physical performance, which was not typically Asian.

However, she would subconsciously ignore these, and today was no different. After hearing his explanation, she questioned no further.

Afterward, the two traveled to other cities for three days and then flew to another state in East Ma, Sarawak.

Unbeknownst to them, a group of people had been secretly following and observing them for the past few days.

However, since they only came out during the day and stayed in the hotel at night, and always booked luxury hotels, these followers couldn’t intrude as freely as they might in a motel, leaving them no suitable opportunity.

Seeing them leave by plane, the followers had to give up.

The reason why Chu Mingcheng specifically made a trip to Sarawak, which was closer to Zengmu Ansha than their previous location, was because during these days of touring, he learned about two exceptional ingredients.

One was known as the Unforgettable Fish, scientifically named Pseudomugil, and the familiar Luo’s Swamp Shrimp, which could be found in various countries in Southeast Asia and is a common freshwater shrimp.

However, the Unforgettable Fish in Da Ma Country was unique, existing only in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Moreover, the tastiest and most authentic Unforgettable Fish could only be found in the upper and lower stretches of the Rejang River at Rabi and Balara.

In Da Ma Country, its status might be comparable to the giant Siamese carp of the Mekong River.

Of course, Da Ma Country also boasts nine other kinds of freshwater fish worth fishing, which could be a good way to gain more experience.

A few hours by plane, then a drive to the upper Rejang River.

There were no hotels near the Rejang River, but many longhouses were available for rent, similar to bed and breakfasts.

After staying for a night, the next day they went to the riverside to rent a boat, but found several tourists from within the country who also seemed to be here for fishing.
