Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 223 The more you expect it, the more likely it is to appear; the less you expect it, the more likely it is to appear.

You have to admit, people living by the sea really know how to eat seafood.

Xiao Kai didn't know how he did it, but he managed to make the flying fish roe taste delicious using only the simple seasonings on the boat.

In short, this was Xiao Kai's first time eating caviar. Although it was made from flying fish, it had a unique flavor.

As for the boiled fish fillets, they were prepared similarly to usual, nothing special.

However, due to the freshness of the ingredients and Tian Wenbin's excellent control of the heat, the dish was quite successful.

It wasn't much different from what Xiao Kai had eaten at restaurants before, and overall, both of them were satisfied.

With just these two simple dishes, they managed to finish a whole pot of rice.

After lunch, as per protocol, they rested on the boat for two or three hours until the weather cooled down around 3 p.m. before returning to the deck to start fishing.

Time flies by like water, and a day is over in the blink of an eye.

It was another evening.

"Sigh, another wasted day. What tuna? I didn't even see a hair."

Xiao Kai pulled the fishing rod back and casually placed it on the deck. He leaned against the cabin and said weakly.

He caught over 200 pounds of fish that day, but still didn't encounter any tuna.

If it weren't for his trust in Chen Bai, he would have almost suspected that the other party was playing him.

According to Chen Bai, this fishing spot was a new spot secretly developed by one of his fishing enthusiast friends.

His friend had fished here more than a dozen times, and he had encountered tuna at least six or seven times out of ten.

This probability is considered high; I've even encountered it two or three times in a single day.

But Xiao Kai? It's been a whole day, and there's still no sign of him.

He can't even find a skipjack tuna, let alone a tuna.

To be honest, Xiao Kai had also wondered if he had gone to the wrong place, but after checking the coordinates several times, he was convinced that he was definitely not wrong.

Therefore, if Chen Bai's words are not exaggerated, then it can only be said that he was really unlucky.

Seeing Xiao Kai complaining, Tian Wenbin couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "It's okay, there's still tonight. If you don't find one tonight, you can try fishing again tomorrow morning. If you still don't find one tomorrow morning, then you can come back another time!"

"Is this the only way?" Xiao Kai nodded helplessly.

He was well aware of these principles, but he was simply unwilling to accept it.

Fortunately, the harvest was pretty good today. Although he didn't catch any tuna, he still caught more than 200 pounds of fish with just a single hook.

They have all kinds of fish, but mainly the common kinds. The total price is over ten thousand, so it's not a bad deal.

In fact, given his skill level, he could make money fishing for ordinary fish much faster than fishing for tuna. But as an angler, who doesn't enjoy the challenge of catching big fish?

Tuna, one of the ultimate goals for anglers, is a target that Xiao Kai has long yearned for.

In summary, for Xiao Kai right now, unlocking the types of big fish is far more important than making money, since he is no longer as short of money as before, nor is he in debt.

On the one hand, it can bring you joy and pleasure, and on the other hand, it can also help the evolution of your cheat ability.

As for money, you can earn it anytime, but catching big fish is a lifelong endeavor.

Unfortunately, after a long day, I still didn't find what I was looking for.

Thinking about having to go back tomorrow, Xiao Kai could only sigh inwardly.

He wanted to stay another day, but there weren't many supplies left on the ship, and the leave that Tian Wenbin had asked for for his wife was about to expire.

"Forget it, let's fish a little longer and then go squid fishing at oil well platform number 3 when it gets dark!"

Xiao Kai decided not to turn the corner.

"Squid fishing sounds great! Before we set off, I'll make a special dipping sauce. We can put the squid we catch in it to marinate for a while before eating, it'll be absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing the mention of squid, Tian Wenbin immediately expressed strong interest and, without hesitation, arranged all the plans.

Xiao Kai agreed, saying he had learned about this way of eating before and was very interested in it.

As the saying goes, the more you expect something to happen, the more likely it is to happen; the less you expect it, the more likely it is to happen.

This means that the more you care about something, the less likely it is to appear; the less you care about it, the more likely it is to appear.

Xiao Kai is now facing such a situation.

Just as he and Tian Wenbin had finished discussing their plans to change course and go squid fishing at the oil well, and were about to reel in their lines, a large patch of dense ripples suddenly appeared on the distant sea.

These ripples shimmered with golden light under the setting sun, undulating incessantly.

At first, Xiao Kai thought that the wind was picking up, which was causing the waves.

But when he looked closely, he was shocked to find that it was actually a large group of fish swimming at high speed.

Although I couldn't clearly see what kind of fish it was, I'm sure it wasn't flying fish.

Not only is it much smaller in scale, but even the size of the fish cannot compare.

However, it is undeniable that this is a rare and spectacular sight on the sea.

Just as Xiao Kai was about to take out his phone to get a close-up of the school of fish, Tian Wenbin's exclamation came from the side.

"Holy crap, what are those?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai immediately looked over seriously.

In the dim light, he seemed to see several huge shadows chasing after the school of fish, seemingly hunting their prey, occasionally splashing up huge sprays of water that caused the surrounding fish to scatter.

Chased by those dark shadows, the fish sometimes spread out and sometimes tightened.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai became even more curious and quickly opened his phone's camera to zoom in and out.

However, the next second, he froze.

"Quick, look what kind of fish it is! Could it be a shark? I'm so excited! I've never seen a shark hunt before!"

Seeing Xiao Kai take out his phone to check the situation, Tian Wenbin immediately walked over to him, ready to watch together.

Soon, he too was stunned.

A few seconds later, Tian Wenbin suddenly heard Xiao Kai take a heavy breath beside him. He turned around and saw that Xiao Kai's eyes were shining, and he was no longer as disappointed as before.

Indeed, if Xiao Kai wasn't mistaken, those dark figures were the shoals of tuna he had been looking forward to all day.

Although I don't know what kind of tuna it is, it's definitely a tuna.

Its cannonball-like shape, its lightning-fast speed, its enormous size—everything about it told Xiao Kai that this was his target: the tuna.

"What are you waiting for? Haven't you always wanted to fish for tuna? Don't just stand there, or the fish will get away!"

Just as Xiao Kai was standing there dumbfounded, Tian Wenbin's excited urging voice came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai reacted instantly.

He grabbed the fishing rod that hadn't been put away yet, then turned around and went back into the cabin to take out his largest fishing hook.

After a flurry of activity, everything was ready in less than two and a half minutes.

Then, he quickly took a blue-spotted mackerel from his catch, and without caring whether it was valuable or not, he chopped it in half with a cleaver.
