Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.
Chapter 25 Nearshore: 6 jin in one net!
As the Lin family's fishing boat slowly sailed away from the port, the hull gradually accelerated.
It cuts a white wave across the sea and sails towards the deep blue ocean.
Inside the cockpit, Lin Mo methodically operated the various instruments and set the course.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the deck.
"Boss! Boss! Let me do it!"
A burly young man came running up, panting; he was one of the ship's drivers.
"What happened? We almost missed it."
Lin Mo frowned slightly.
"Don't even mention it, boss."
The young man plopped down on the chair next to him, panting heavily.
"When I was leaving, a childhood friend of mine blocked my way and insisted on coming aboard with me, saying he wanted to get some of the benefits and see our amazing ship."
"He said he also knew how to sail a boat and could help with the work, even without pay."
Lin Mo's face darkened.
"You let him come along?"
"No way!"
The young man quickly waved his hand, looking disgusted.
"I dumped him. I told him that not just anyone can do the work on our ship."
"No one is allowed up here without your permission, boss."
"This kid is desperate for fame and wants to sneak into our live stream to show his face."
Lin Mo nodded, his expression softening somewhat.
"Well done. We don't need any extra people on board."
His boat is no ordinary fishing boat; it's involved in far too many secrets.
Let alone childhood friends, even if they were his own brothers, he would never let an unreliable person board the ship.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's get started!"
Lin Mo stood up and shouted into the walkie-talkie.
"receive!"
"receive!"
On deck, the other crew members immediately responded and returned to their posts.
"Raise the sails! Set sail!"
With Lin Mo's command, the fishing boat suddenly roared!
The stern propellers instantly unleashed powerful force, propelling the ship swiftly towards the boundless depths of the sea.
Wow! That's fast!
Lin Siyu, holding onto the window frame, felt the slight vibrations coming from the ship and couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise.
The chat in the live stream exploded at that moment.
"Holy crap! That acceleration! Who would believe this is a fishing boat? It's a supercar for the sea!"
"Whoosh! Take off! Silent God, charge!"
"I could feel the push-back sensation even through the screen! It's amazing!"
"Even the US aircraft carriers would be moved to tears, hahaha!"
Lin Siyu couldn't stop laughing as she looked at the comments.
The camera was pointed at the rapidly receding coastline and the other fishing boats left far behind.
"Family members, did you see that? That's the speed of our Chinese fishing boats!"
She proudly puffed out her small chest.
The fishing boat sailed for about half an hour, but because of its extremely high speed, it had already left the port far behind.
Only a blurry outline can be seen.
At this time, the surrounding sea area is still considered nearshore.
Looking at the shimmering sea outside the window, Lin Siyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to Lin Mo and said.
"Brother, how about... we try casting a net around here first?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked up from the various complex instrument panels, glanced out the window, and then looked at the location on the nautical chart.
His brows immediately furrowed.
"here?"
He pointed out the window.
"This is nearshore, there are too many fishing boats coming and going, it's been fished out eight hundred times already, what kind of fish could there be?"
"Even if there are any, they're just small fish and shrimp; the cost of catching them wouldn't even cover the fuel expenses."
That's common sense.
Fishermen with even a little experience wouldn't waste their time in a place like this.
"Hey, let's give it a try."
Lin Siyu hugged his arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.
"Anyway, catching fish doesn't rely on skill, it's all about luck, so it doesn't matter where you cast your net, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face instantly darkened.
What does it mean to rely entirely on luck without any skill?
I'm a professional fisherman, you know!
Although... it seems that most of the gains are indeed related to luck.
But how can it be so infuriating to hear these words come from one's own sister?
"Say it again?"
Lin Mo glared at her.
"Believe it or not, you won't get any lunch today?"
"No, brother!"
Lin Siyu immediately put on a pitiful expression.
"I admit I was wrong! I just wanted the viewers in the live stream to see the process of us casting our nets to catch fish."
"The lighting is great near the sea, so the photos are clear!"
The viewers in the live stream started making a huge fuss.
"Hahaha! Your family status is crystal clear!"
"Mo Shen is panicking! He's panicking! He's been hit where it hurts!"
"The fairy is right! The God of Silence's fishing relies entirely on fate! When the fish come, there's no stopping them!"
"I suggest we set up the net right here! Let Mo Shen prove just how good his luck is near the coast!"
Watching his younger sister act silly, he glanced at the chaotic comments in the live stream.
Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
Oh well, I'll just treat it as playing along with her.
Anyway, the system didn't issue any new tasks today, so it doesn't matter where I try to find them.
"Alright, just this once."
Lin Mo relented.
"If we don't manage to catch anything, you'll be watching us eat lunch."
"Yay!"
Lin Siyu immediately cheered and shouted into the live stream while holding up her phone.
"Family, my brother agreed! Let's start our first internet session today!"
Lin Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Attention everyone! Prepare to disconnect!"
"Huh? Boss, get off here?"
A surprised voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Yes, right here."
"……receive!"
Despite their doubts, the crew members chose to obey Lin Mo's orders unconditionally.
Soon, the crew members sprang into action.
At the stern of the fishing boat, a huge hydraulic crane arm slowly rises, suspending a large fishing net that is neatly folded.
"Family members, take a good look! This is the custom-made trawl net for our Lin family fishing boat."
"Both the depth and range of the network can be precisely controlled via computer!"
Lin Siyu diligently provided on-site commentary.
"Ready!"
"put!"
At Lin Mo's command, the crew pressed the control button.
"Splash—"
The huge fishing net was precisely cast into the seawater behind it and sank quickly.
The fishing boat maintained a relatively slow speed, dragging its fishing net as it moved slowly across the sea.
"Alright, now it's just a matter of waiting."
Lin Siyu repositioned her phone camera, aiming it at the two taut steel cables at the stern of the boat.
"Trawling usually takes half an hour to an hour. Let's wait half an hour and see how it goes."
Time passed by, second by second.
The viewers in the live stream remained enthusiastic, sending gifts and engaging in lively discussions.
"How many do you think we'll catch in this net?"
"I'd guess... 100 pounds? It's near the coast, you can't expect too much."
"A hundred pounds? You think too highly of this sea. I bet it's only fifty pounds at most, and those are all small, immature fish."
"Haha, what if God Mo's luck turns again and he catches a shark?"
"You're overthinking it. How could there possibly be sharks here?"
Lin Mo ignored the teasing in the live stream. He sat in the driver's seat, his eyes fixed on the electronic weighing system connected to the winch.
The numbers displayed represent the real-time weight of the fishing net underwater.
At this moment, the numbers are slowly increasing, from a few hundred kilograms to over a thousand kilograms.
This weight is caused by the resistance of the fishing net itself and the seawater, and is within the normal range.
Half an hour passed quickly.
"Brother, it's time! Let's pack up the net!"
Lin Siyu ran over, her face full of anticipation.
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Get ready to close the net!"
"receive!"
The crew members immediately took their positions and started the huge winch.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
The heavy hum of the motor began, and two thick steel cables slowly started to be pulled back onto the ship.
However, after only pulling back a dozen meters, the winch motor suddenly became incredibly heavy and laborious!
"Um?"
Lin Mo's brows furrowed instantly.
Something is wrong!
That sound... indicates that the fishing net is bearing a tremendous weight!
He suddenly turned his gaze to the electronic weighing machine.
The numbers above are skyrocketing!
Two thousand catties!
Three thousand catties!
Four thousand catties!
In just a few seconds, the number broke through the 4,000-jin mark and continues to rise!
"Boss! This...this net! It's so heavy!"
The young man shouted loudly from outside.
"The winch is about to give way!"
Everyone on the ship was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the number slowly came to a stop, settling at 5,860 jin!
In this coastal waters that no one else cares about, a single net cast and hauled up nearly 6,000 kilograms of something?
How is that possible!
The entire deck fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Siyu's scream shattered the tranquility.
"Ah—! Six thousand jin! My God! Almost six thousand jin!"
Her shout instantly ignited the entire live stream!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Am I seeing things? Over 5,800 pounds?!"
"Six thousand catties in one net? Are you kidding me! That's more than yesterday's entire harvest!"
"This is illogical! How could something so heavy be retrieved from nearshore waters?!"
