As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 200 - 176 Ancient People Where is my coffin

Chapter 200: Chapter 176 Ancient People: Where is my coffin plank? Chapter 200 -176 Ancient People: Where is my coffin plank? “Envy is useless, bro; this is called charm. Someone who scatters seeds like you will never find true love!” Chu Mingcheng retorted without any reservation.

“Who needs true love? If it came my way, I’d run like hell. What does a Fishing Man like me want with true love?” Zhang Wei replied with a dismissive smile.

Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang shook their heads in unison upon hearing this, saying no more.

When it came to Zhang Wei’s private life, it wasn’t their place to comment as his friends.

It was purely a matter of personal choice; he had no intent of getting married, and this playful lifestyle was seemingly what he desired.

In fact, Chu Mingcheng couldn’t bring himself to persuade him to settle down and marry a decent person.

It wasn’t that Chu Mingcheng didn’t want to advise Zhang Wei; he simply couldn’t bear to let a decent person suffer on his account.

Given his personality, settling down would genuinely be difficult, and he’d likely end up mistreating a decent person back home.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, was steady and didn’t mess around. He seemed more suited to the life of marriage and raising children.

Later, the three turned the conversation back to the topic of boats.

“Ah Cheng, what kind of boat do you think we should buy?” Chen Yang asked.

“Personally, I think a sixteen-meter Class II fishing boat would be good for you guys. You can also go to the Far Sea to fish with it. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter Golden Spearfish and Flagfish, as long as you get all the necessary equipment,” Ah Cheng replied.

Under the influence of Chu Mingcheng’s second functionality of the seafood guide, the fish resources in domestic waters would only get better, so there was no need to venture to the Public Sea.

Besides, even if you wanted to go to the Public Sea, you could just take his boat.

“How much would that cost?”

“Depends on how much you’re willing to spend. A basic configuration would be around two million, but if you want something more luxurious, between three and five million!”

Chen Yang nodded, getting a rough idea of the cost: “Then let’s go have a look at the boatyard!”

“Are we going now?” Chu Mingcheng asked, surprised.

“Yes, the sooner we decide, the sooner we get the boat!”

“Alright then!”

Chu Mingcheng then led them to a boatyard, where they temporarily settled on a sixteen-meter Class II fishing boat and waited for a quotation.

The estimated price was around 3.5 million, which was pretty good for a Class II fishing boat.

It looked a bit like an enlarged version of Chu Mingcheng’s twelve-meter boat, just with more equipment, including a refrigeration chamber and a freshwater converter.

With the freshwater converter, they could reduce the freshwater tank size a bit and use the extra space for other purposes.

Of course, the converted water wasn’t drinkable; it could only be used for bathing and washing the deck, among other things. Drinking water would have to be brought separately.

That evening, to the bemused Chu Mingcheng, Jiang Luoluo casually invited everyone to a lavish meal.

She was especially enthusiastic toward Zhang Wei; the two of them finished off four crates of beer, and Zhang Wei ended up under the table.

Chu Mingcheng broke out in cold sweat, wondering if Luoluo pretended to be drunk on beer the last time just because she didn’t want to hang out with him?

As a result, when Zhang Wei woke up the next day, his first thoughts were: Who am I? Where am I? What did I do last night?

But the next moment, his bladder told him that if he didn’t go to the bathroom soon, it would explode!

After regaining his senses, Zhang Wei hurried to the bathroom to release the fermented beer from ’82.

Then, he walked out of the bathroom and saw Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang sitting on the couch. He approached them and asked, “So, how did I get back last night? I only remember that sister-in-law was very enthusiastic, constantly clinking glasses with me.”

“Ptui! What do you mean ‘sister-in-law was very enthusiastic’? Change how you phrase that!” Chu Mingcheng snapped, slapping the back of Zhang Wei’s head.

It wasn’t a hard slap, and Zhang Wei didn’t take it to heart; he scratched his head and obediently rephrased: “Sister-in-law was overly hospitable last night, but why did she keep pouring drinks for me?”

“…”

That statement also sounded a bit odd, but even Chu Mingcheng was unclear about why Jiang Luoluo did what she did.

He initially thought Jiang Luoluo must have been drunk after drinking so much, and he tried to get something out of her. However, all he saw was a slight redness on her cheeks…

Unable to get anything from her and thinking about it, he still felt it was because Zhang Wei was too flirtatious, and as his sister-in-law, Jiang Luoluo couldn’t stand it, so she decided to teach him a lesson.

These thoughts, of course, he couldn’t share, so he diverted the conversation.

“The sea conditions aren’t great today; how about we go to the lake to catch crucian carp? If we’re lucky, we might encounter giant Catfish or pike, among others.”

“Sounds good!” Chen Yang nodded without any objections.

He had come to Xia City mainly to buy a boat, and now that the matter was nearly settled, he planned to enjoy the city for a couple of days.

Business wasn’t much of an issue. As long as he had a phone and internet, he didn’t need to stick around the store.

Zhang Wei was still a bit groggy and his head ached. However, when fishing was mentioned, his initial plan to catch up on sleep instantly changed.

Chu Mingcheng mentioned going fishing in the lake today, but he was prepared.

He drove straight to Wei Jiaguo’s place and borrowed a lure boat.

As for Wei Jiaguo living in a villa, Chu Mingcheng wasn’t surprised after seeing the fishing boat.

By then, Zhang Wei had sobered up. After they hauled away the lure boat from the villa, he exclaimed, “Damn, Ah Cheng, when did you get to know such a big shot?”

Chu Mingcheng smiled and explained, “I met him when I first came to Xia City. It’s mainly because Grandpa also likes fishing. One thing led to another, and we became familiar.”

“I looked up these kinds of lure boats before; even the cheap ones cost a dozen or twenty thousand, and the expensive ones can go up to several hundred thousand!”

“Ah, so this… is it a world of hobbyists I don’t understand?” Hearing about the hefty price, Zhang Wei smacked his lips in amazement.

He liked fishing but didn’t invest much in it.

He had only one lure rod, and it was only later that he bought a surf rod. He hadn’t spent much on this hobby until Chu Mingcheng turned professional and started buying multiple rods and boats for deep-sea fishing. Only then did Zhang Wei’s spending on the hobby somewhat increase.

Chen Yu didn’t say much, as he had little interest in freshwater fish, and therefore, wasn’t particularly excited about the lure boat, since such boats can’t be used in sea water.

He only agreed to come today because they were fishing for crucian carp.

Among freshwater fish, crucian carp was the only type he liked to eat.

After such a long time, Chu Mingcheng returned to the small lake.

He had caught a big pike and a large catfish here before, unsure of what he might catch today.

Since catching a large catfish previously, the popularity of this small lake had suddenly increased.

But after a while, with no one catching big fish anymore, the lake returned to its usual quiet.

Now that the weather had turned cold, most of the fish had moved to deeper waters, making the chances of catching anything near the shore very slim, which was the main reason Chu Mingcheng had borrowed the lure boat.

The three of them put on life jackets, then boarded the boat with their fishing rods and tackle boxes.

The lure boat was very simple to operate, like driving a little speedboat.

Chu Mingcheng first headed to the spot where there had been a flow outlet the last time; it had been so long, he wasn’t sure if a group of crucian carp had gathered there again.

But apparently, Wei Jiaguo hadn’t been around to disturb the area for some time.

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei’s eyes shone as Chu Mingcheng caught a crucian carp weighing over three pounds on his first cast, and they quickly started to fish as well.

In just one hour, the three of them had caught over a dozen crucian carps, almost emptying this area of water once more.

“It’s always great to fish with you, Ah Cheng, not only do we avoid catching nothing, but the fish are plentiful and big,” Zhang Wei exclaimed after catching another crucian carp, “This is what true happiness for a Fishing Man looks like.”

“Let’s go, there are no fish left here, let’s try another spot.” Chu Mingcheng knew very well how many crucian carps could be hiding here.

Having already caught over a dozen, even if there were more, there wouldn’t be many left. It was better to try another place for different fish.

Then, he started up the lure boat again and sped across the water’s surface.

Just three minutes in, a large fish suddenly appeared on the left side of the water, smacking its tail fiercely against the surface, instantly creating a large splash.

“Holy shit!”X3

All three on the boat exclaimed in unison, and Chu Mingcheng quickly stopped the boat.

“Quick, quick, quick, bait a nest to lure the fish over.”

“The big game rod, where’s my big game rod?”

“By the way, will this little lure rod work?”

The three of them immediately got busy, preparing bait nests and fishing rods, with one of them watching the other two wondering what to do!

Soon, Chu Mingcheng had his big rod ready too, mentally preparing himself again for the possibility of being pulled into the water by a fish.

He baited the hook, and cast it into the water, with the lead sinker quickly pulling the bait towards the bottom.

The big fish had indeed stirred up the water surface briefly, but it soon sank down.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t sure where the fish was, so he decided to start by fishing the bottom and then slowly change the depth if there was no action.

The big fish had indeed stayed deep and was attracted to the bait nest thrown in by Zhang Wei.

However, the fish was quite cautious. It only nibbled at the bait nest with its mouth and took small, slow gulps, ignoring the bait on the hook entirely.

Instead, its movements caused the hook to swing back and forth in the current.

But it wasn’t just fish down there in the water!

Waiting patiently, Chu Mingcheng suddenly noticed the fishing line tighten and the rod bend downward.

His quick reflexes kicked in as he raised the rod to set the hook.

But the rod barely moved, heavy with a weighty sensation.

Initially thinking he had hooked a big fish, Chu Mingcheng felt a chill in his heart after a couple of tugs: “Crap, snagged on the bottom!”

“What do we do now?” Chen Yang asked.

Zhang Wei replied, “Break off the leader line, if that doesn’t work, we’ll have to cut the line.”

Chu Mingcheng though smiled bitterly, “Let’s give it a pull first, the line I used for big fish is thick, breaking it might be a problem!”

After that, he started to exert force, lifting the rod forcefully upward.

Initially, it felt like the hook was caught in the rocks, but as he continued to pull, he sensed something was off; it seemed like the hook was on the move?

No, more accurately, whatever the hook had caught seemed to be the thing moving.

In that case, he just needed to pull whatever was down there to the surface.

Exerting force once again, he felt the object on the bottom slowly begin to move.

Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng stumbled backwards, nearly falling over.

“Be careful!”X2

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei quickly steadied him.

It turned out the object snagged on the bottom had been completely pulled up, and the sudden decrease in resistance had nearly caused Chu Mingcheng to fall backwards.

“I’m fine, I’ve just pulled out whatever was stuck on the bottom.”

Once steady, Chu Mingcheng noticed that the snagged object was somewhat heavy.

As he lifted the rod above his head, a rotten, dark piece of wood appeared on the surface of the water.

Due to its weight, one end of the wood floated up, hooked by the fishing line, while the other end remained underwater, so its full shape wasn’t visible.

“It got stuck on a wooden board!” said Zhang Wei as he stepped forward to remove the hook, then curiously lifted the wood.

Upon seeing the shape of the piece of wood and the blurred carvings exposed, he immediately released his grip in shock, “Holy shit, is that a coffin board?”
