It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

A simple sentence made Song Yun suddenly realize the truth.

Having harbored a secret crush on Qin Ming for many years, Song Yun had long known about his special hobbies and had also come to know about fishing through her exposure to him.

I know that sea fishing offers a different experience compared to regular river fishing.

As they spoke, the two walked to the end of the gym, where many staff members were busy assembling two models. Judging from their appearance, one was Lugia and the other was Kyogre.

Qin Ming couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are they doing?"

Song Yun replied, "They are preparing for the Sea God Festival. Sanya City is a coastal city, so the locals have great respect for the sea. Every year in March when the fishing season opens, they hold a Sea God Festival to pray for smooth sailing on the sea."

Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since we're unsure who the sea god is, why don't we just make models of Lugia and Kyogre and worship them together?"

Song Yun covered her mouth and laughed, "That's right!"

There is no definitive answer as to who the sea god is, whether in the fairy world or the real world.

Some people say that the sea god should be the kind and peaceful Lugia, who can protect the ocean currents and ensure good weather.

However, Lugia, known as the sea god, is not a water-type, but rather a psychic and flight-type, yet Lugia lives in the deep sea trench, which is quite contradictory.

Those who support Kyogre as a sea god believe that Kyogre possesses the powerful ability to control the sea, easily creating tsunamis hundreds of meters high, and that in terms of ability, Kyogre is the embodiment of the power of the sea.

In terms of attributes, Kyogre is purer than Lugia; it is a true water-type Pokémon.

The problem is that whenever Kyogre appears, it always leads to a battle with Groudon, with landslides and earthquakes. Perhaps the term "sea monster" does fit Kyogre's image.

There are supporters for Lugia and supporters for Kyogre, so people worship both Pokémon together at the Sea God Festival. This way, they won't show favoritism to either side, nor will they offend supporters of either side.

Song Yun blinked and said, "Every year during the Sea God Festival, there is also a competition for Water-type Pokémon. Qin Ming, you have a Milotic, so you can participate in the competition. I heard that the prizes for winning the Sea God Festival are quite good."

"Well, we'll see how it goes."

Qin Ming said it casually.

Jingle bell bell~

Jingle bell bell~

Qin Ming's phone rang, and he answered it casually.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, this is customer service from Sanya City Shipping Company."

"The ocean-going vessel you ordered from our shipping company has been modified according to your requirements. You can come to our company to take a look."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Qin Ming happily hung up the phone. The reason he was staying in Sanya City was because the ship was not ready yet. Now that he had been notified, it meant that he could officially set sail.

Song Yun's eyes flickered, clearly showing a lingering sense of loss: "Are you leaving?"

"Ok!"

"The ocean-going vessel I ordered is ready for long-distance voyages!" Qin Ming didn't see the disappointment in Song Yun's eyes: "The long-distance voyage I ordered is ready for modification!"

"Alright, have a smooth journey during your training in the secret realm!!"

Song Yun saw Qin Ming off, escorting him to the entrance of the dojo, waving goodbye: "Goodbye, Qin Ming!!"

"goodbye!"

With his mind filled with thoughts of going to sea, Qin Ming got into a taxi and drove away quickly.

Watching Qin Ming's departing figure, Song Yun hesitated to return to the dojo.

"Hey!"

A soft sigh came from behind: "If you keep standing like this, you'll soon turn into a statue waiting for your husband."

Song Yun pouted, somewhat displeased, and said, "I just talked to Qin Ming, and he plans to undergo three months of special training in the Whirlpool Island secret realm..."

"This means I won't see him for three months. Back in high school, the longest I'd ever gone without seeing him was only two months..."

Lin Wenlin rolled her eyes: "Do you know how I felt when you were chatting with him just now?"

Song Yun asked curiously, "What did it feel like?"

"Qin Ming's words didn't mention you, but every word you said was 'I'm willing.'"

Lin Wenlin shook her head and said, "If you really like someone, then be brave and confess!"

Song Yun raised her head and said firmly, "I'm not good enough for him right now. I'll confess my feelings to him when I'm stronger!"

"Please, Sister Lin, train me well during these three months!!"

Song Yun's efforts for love seemed incredibly love-struck to Lin Wenlin, who thought to herself, "The wise don't fall in love, the foolish are trapped by it—that's truly a golden rule!"

……

……

After leaving the Sanya City Dojo, Qin Ming headed straight for the Sanya City Shipbuilding Company.

To enter the Whirlpool Island, a secret realm where seawater covers 95% of the area, a boat is essential.

In the game, as long as a Water-type Pokémon learns the Surf skill, it can easily cross the ocean. However, the reality is different. Although Milotic is a Water-type Pokémon, it is almost impossible for it to carry people on long-distance voyages.

Upon arriving at the shipping company, Qin Ming stated his purpose directly: "Hello, my surname is Qin, and I have ordered an ocean-going vessel from your company."

"Okay, Mr. Qin, please come with me."

The customer service representative politely led Qin Ming to the port where the ship was docked, stopping in front of a medium-sized ocean-going vessel that was about 50 meters long and 10 meters wide.

"Mr. Qin, this is the top-of-the-line, enhanced ocean-going yacht that you ordered."

"Please board the ship!"

Led by the customer service representative, Qin Ming went up to the deck.

The customer service representative enthusiastically explained, "The hull is made of aerospace-grade lightweight aluminum alloy, which is both lightweight and sturdy. The bottom of the boat has been reinforced with heavy-duty steel plates according to your needs, and it has a riveted design to prevent large fish from colliding with it."

"In addition, storm warning devices, enhanced signal receivers, and radar warnings have been installed on the hull, allowing you to clearly see changes within 30 nautical miles around you while sailing at sea."

"As per your request, we have tripled the width of the existing fuel tank, which can provide you with enough fuel for a 20,000 nautical mile voyage."

"In terms of safety equipment, a safety boat is provided for you on the right side of the vessel. When you launch the safety boat, we will initiate a real-time rescue operation for your location."

"The boat's operation is as simple and automated as possible. For example, it is fully equipped with features such as one-click full hold, one-click sail raising, ocean speed control, and rudder assistance. The overall driving experience is similar to that of driving a car, making it easier for you to control the boat."

"Since you are planning to explore the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm, which is quite difficult, insurance companies generally do not accept trainers who go to the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm for insurance."

"However, out of humanitarian considerations, if you unfortunately perish at sea, we will refund 30% of the rental fee as a compensation to your parents."

The customer service representative's explanation was very detailed, and the overall modification of the ship perfectly matched Qin Ming's expectations.

The observant customer service representative, judging from Qin Ming's expression that he was satisfied, suggested at the opportune moment, "Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else, would you please pay the remaining balance?"

"Okay, please write down a list."

"Okay, wait a minute."

"This is your list. The lease is for 3 months, with a daily rental fee of 450 yuan. The total rental fee for the lease period is 500 million yuan. In addition, there is a deposit of 5 million yuan, making a total of 950 million yuan."

"Okay, please scan Alipay."

"Ding, Alipay payment of 950 million yuan."

After completing the payment for the boat, the customer service representative flashed a bright smile.

The cost of renting a boat alone is as high as 50,000 yuan per day.

In addition, there are expenses for food, fuel, and so on.

Furthermore, if a ship is attacked and damaged during its voyage, or if some of its functions are impaired, it will require repairs.

Overall, it can be said that going overseas is very expensive.

It is precisely because of the high cost of going out to sea that many trainers who wanted to go to the Whirlpool Island secret realm have been deterred.

Of course, you can save on boat costs and don't need to rent a top-of-the-line, enhanced ocean-going yacht like Qin Ming did.

You could switch to a more ordinary boat and the cost would be lower, but wouldn't that also lower your safety level?

"Mr. Qin, I wish you a pleasant and fruitful journey!"

After receiving the payment, the customer service representative handed the boat keys to Qin Ming and disembarked with a cheerful stride.

Although we've already acquired the boat, we can't immediately set sail for the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm; we still need to procure supplies first.

The boat was driven to a dedicated offshore refueling station to refuel, and additional spare fuel was also stored. The refueling cost was not much, only a little over 50 yuan.

After filling up the gas tank, I still need to buy daily necessities.

Since the supply points in the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm are quite far apart, it's best to carry more fresh water and food to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After a flurry of purchases, they spent over 300 million yuan.

The main reason was that high-quality tree fruits and special energy cubes were expensive. Qin Ming spent nearly ten million yuan before the ocean-going ships could finally set sail and the sea fishing plan could officially begin.

……

……

After making all the preparations, Qin Ming sailed his ocean-going vessel out of the port on a clear and sunny day, heading towards the entrance of the Whirlpool Island Secret Realm.

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"
