As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 561 - 348: Is There Really a Sheep on the Barren Island?

Chapter 561: Chapter 348: Is There Really a Sheep on the Barren Island?

"Tell meee~" Perhaps because she was not worried about encountering acquaintances abroad, Jiang Luoluo was quite uninhibited, clinging to Chu Mingcheng’s arm and acting coquettishly.

What kind of feeling is it when the woman you adore acts coquettishly towards you?

Chu Mingcheng couldn’t quite describe it, but his whole body tingled, and as a man, his sense of satisfaction soared.

"It’s very fragrant and crunchy, tastes really good, and can be eaten as a snack."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Luoluo curiously picked one up to taste. The crisp munching sounds coming from her small mouth were just like eating potato chips.

After finishing, her eyes lit up, "Hey, this is good. I can replace chips with this when I’m reading books or watching dramas, and I don’t have to worry about gaining weight."

"Then I’ll catch a few more in the afternoon and bring them back to the boat," Chu Mingcheng said endearingly as he playfully tweaked her nose.

At this time, the waiter served the second dish, which was simply steamed fish fillets.

This time, Jiang Luoluo continued to feed Chu Mingcheng, not to have him taste the dish, but because it was a sweet and intimate phase of their honeymoon.

Steamed fish fillets are the best way to highlight the quality of the fish itself, but after taking a bite, Chu Mingcheng frowned slightly.

"What’s wrong, doesn’t it taste good?" Jiang Luoluo immediately noticed his reaction and after asking, took a piece and tasted it herself.

"Hmm, the taste’s all right, indeed there’s a fruity sweetness to it, but it’s not quite unforgettable," he said.

"I feel the same. Let’s see what comes next!" Chu Mingcheng frowned for the same reason.

Perhaps they had tasted too many good things; unknowingly, they had become quite picky.

The following dishes, fried fish meat, fish slices, and grilled fish head, did alter their opinion of the fish slightly.

Especially the grilled fish head, which fully brought out the flavor of the Windmill Fruit, gave them a somewhat unforgettable experience.

As for Luo’s Swamp Shrimp, it was mainly about the satisfaction of eating, the taste was just normal shrimp flavor.

And because they are freshwater shrimp, if not handled well, they can easily have a muddy taste.

In the afternoon, Chu Mingcheng continued to fish, as they had chartered the fishing boat for the whole day.

Although it was a bit sultry, there were even more people fishing in the afternoon.

Chu Mingcheng had just cast his bait when the fishing rod suddenly bent down fiercely, and even the small fishing boat was pulled along.

An enormous Unforgettable Fish appeared on the surface, the waves it created immediately drawing the attention of all the nearby fishermen.

The boatman was incredibly excited, speaking words they couldn’t understand.

"Wow, can fish even grow this big?" Jiang Luoluo exclaimed in surprise.

"I’m surprised too, this one must weigh at least a hundred pounds," Chu Mingcheng said, holding the rod with both hands still managing comfortably.

But he dared not exert too much force, fearing that the fishing line would break.

He was using a line meant for twenty-pound fish, and now facing one that felt like it weighed a hundred, he could only slowly play with it.

Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo was smart and immediately took out some money as a tip for the boatman to help steer the boat.

Money talks, and the boatman, understanding her intention after receiving the money, immediately cooperated with a smile, his snow-white teeth contrasting sharply with his dark skin.

By allowing the small fishing boat to follow the big fish, they slowly exhausted the fish’s strength.

As a result, Chu Mingcheng suddenly became the brightest star at the Rejang River Unforgettable Fish fishing spot, with even vacationing Huaxia tourists abandoning their own fishing to follow with their boats.

A hundred-pound fish posed no real challenge for Chu Mingcheng in terms of strength, but he was worried it would break the line and get away, so he played with the fish for about an hour, waiting until it was too exhausted to resist before pulling it onto the boat.

He and Jiang Luoluo took a photo with the fish, then he stretched lazily, just about to release the fish back into the water.

Unexpectedly, a small fishing boat approached them, and a man aboard spoke to them with a strange English accent.

After listening to him, Jiang Luoluo’s expression turned curious as she said to Chu Mingcheng, "He’s Japanese, and he wants to buy our fish to set it free."

Chu Mingcheng was immediately shocked, "Japanese people actually buy fish to release them?"

"Yes, he’s willing to pay three hundred thousand Malaysian ringgit for this fish," Jiang Luoluo said, herself amazed by the figure.

Three hundred thousand Malaysian ringgit was about four hundred and sixty thousand Big Coins, which just goes to show that the man had money to burn!

Upon hearing this, Chu Mingcheng readily agreed.

After the Japanese man bought and joyfully released the fish, Chu Mingcheng whispered to his wife, "Actually, I was thinking of releasing it as well!"

Jiang Luoluo was immediately astounded, "Then why did you sell it?"

"The Japanese man took such a kindhearted action; I was just giving him the chance~"

"666," Jiang Luoluo laughed heartily, giving her cunning husband a thumbs-up.

They continued fishing afterwards, and Chu Mingcheng caught eleven Unforgettable Fish weighing between ten and twenty pounds that afternoon.

Adding the ones stored at the restaurant from noon, he had twelve in total.

He kept three for himself, and sent back five to Huaxia.

Two for their parents, and the remaining three divided among Chen Yang, Zhang Wei, and Wei Jiaguo, just enough.

The extra four, Chu Mingcheng had initially wanted to keep for himself.

But in the end, he sold them to tourists who had inquired about the fish, for roughly eight hundred Big Coins per pound.

An afternoon of fun turned into a surprising gain of over forty-five thousand Big Coins.

Unforgettable Fish from the Rejang River, fed on Windmill Fruit, could sell for at least one thousand five hundred per pound back in Huaxia, so the price of about eight hundred was quite a deal for those tourists who hadn’t caught any fish but were not short on cash.

Jiang Luoluo also caught over twenty pounds of shrimp, which they did not take home, as shrimp could also be purchased back at home.
