Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast-Chapter 113

EP.113 Golden Ticket

Meanwhile, at the moment when Parang was unexpectedly encountering Silo’s burning determination.

Clang! Clang! Clang!!

“Phew… Lenny! Are you finished over there?”

Clink- clink! Clatter!

“Yes, boss. Come take a look.”

“Hmm. Looks good. Nice work.”

S-rank Production Hunter, Shin Yuna.

She was adding new equipment to the submarine that contained everything she had.

The person she just spoke with was Lenny Klein. Her friend, assistant, employee, and… well, someone who helps her in various ways as an A-rank Production Hunter.

What she was installing on the submarine now were five cameras. Using the same principle as Parang’s broadcasting equipment, they would combine footage from multiple cameras to create 3D images.

She had originally planned to work alone, but since the submarine had grown enormously from all the random additions, she had to borrow her friend’s help.

Her submarine had grown to almost the same size as military small submarines.

It was only permitted because Shin Yuna was an S-rank Production Hunter; normally it would be illegal.

“Here, I’ve sent the payment. Check it. I included travel expenses too.”

“That’s our boss for you. Best in the business when it comes to making payments.”

Work fast, pay faster.

Thanks to this iron rule of Yuna’s, she had an overwhelmingly good reputation among Production Hunters.

After sending off Lenny with his happy face, she turned around to look at the magnificent form of the submarine.

It was quite a sight to behold – a whale-sized hunk of metal haphazardly equipped with cannons, pulleys, machine guns, and even harpoons.

Now with cameras added too. Anyone who didn’t know better would undoubtedly think it was just a pile of scrap.

But Yuna looked at that submarine with a very satisfied smile.

The reason she installed cameras on the submarine was simple. Obviously, for recording.

Going through the trouble of making a submarine and diving into the ocean without recording it would be an insult to exploration.

However, it wasn’t for live streaming. While Parang could bobble around underwater doing live broadcasts and handling unexpected situations, Yuna couldn’t go that far.

Especially when it came to dealing with unexpected situations. While Parang knew the ocean paths by heart and could figure out how to broadcast smoothly and safely, Yuna was practically blind in comparison.

Trying to copy that would obviously end in disaster, like a magpie trying to do the splits.

So, Yuna chose a different path.

She just installed recording cameras.

Since there wouldn’t be any danger to Shin Yuna herself, she could just record the exploration footage and edit out any problematic parts.

Yuna nodded satisfactorily while looking at the submarine suspended by chains, then pulled down the lever beside her.

The workshop floor split open with a creak, revealing the sea surface.

When she pulled another lever beside it, with a clang! clang! sound, all the chains broke at once and the submarine splashed into the sea.

After confirming that, she quickly headed to the control room with the water tank.

Yuna struggled to put on the steel diving suit that was twice her size and weight.

It’s professional equipment typically used for diving deeper than 1km, so it’s really, really expensive and difficult to handle.

Yuna barely managed to move her body in the heavy equipment and jumped into the tank with a splash.

The depth was 3.5m.

So why did she buy such a ridiculous diving suit?

Well, isn’t it obvious? For the same reason you’re thinking of right now.

Anyway, she started controlling the submarine by tapping the control panel installed in the tank.

‘Good drive, cameras one through five… Ah, camera four’s quality is a bit poor.’

Down, down. To that sparkling, deep place below.

Yuna descended.

At first, she couldn’t understand why Parang loved the ocean so much.

While both Yuna and Parang were obsessed with the ocean, the nature of their obsessions was slightly different.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Yuna’s obsession with the ocean fundamentally stems from thrill and curiosity. It’s mainly about the excitement of encountering danger and surviving, and the sense of exploring an unknown, mysterious world.

So for Yuna, a submarine is like a space shuttle or time machine.

Something she wants to hop on and go adventuring with right away.

In contrast, Parang’s feelings for the ocean were quite different.

Parang truly ‘loves’ the ocean. Even while in the ocean, she wants to be in the ocean, and even while looking at the ocean, she misses the ocean.

This is practically on the level of a real lover.

So for Parang, her diving suit is like an elegant suit you’d wear to meet your lover.

A lover who comes to visit wearing a bodysuit.

‘That might not be so bad…’

The point is, Yuna hadn’t been able to understand Parang’s almost manic affection.

But now, honestly, she thinks she might understand.

Parang’s lover was truly beautiful.

The ever-changing colors of the water, the colorful glowing fish, the massive and mysterious, somewhat gloomy terrain.

Only after riding the submarine directly into the ocean could Yuna see that beauty.

However, Yuna had one complaint.

‘Everything’s great, but where the hell are those bastards?’

The ‘bastards’ Yuna is referring to are, of course, the Hunter Association’s submarine armored division.

After all, the reason Yuna’s submarine had grown this large was because of them.

‘Let’s try diving?’ Every time she went down, they would rush at her like mad dogs and sink her submarine, so she couldn’t help but start adding weapons frantically.

Now she had a proper submarine warship. It wasn’t unreasonable that Yuna was obsessed with catching and beating up those black submarines that had attacked her back then.

However, Yuna’s grand dream wasn’t being fulfilled. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say it was an impossible dream from the start.

Why?

Well, because those Association submarines would never appear again.

Naturally. They were part of a secret direct department established under the former Association President’s special authority.

Now that the President was gone, they weren’t operational anymore.

If Yuna had known this fact, she would have coolly given up the search, but sadly, she didn’t even know which department those submarines belonged to.

So the endless pursuit would continue.

The fact that Yuna’s deep-sea exploration was getting longer and broader was clearly influenced by the absent black submarine fleet.

Needless to say, her submarine piloting skills had become top-notch in the process.

‘Just let me catch sight of you. I’ll destroy every last one of you.’

She drove the submarine faster with her eyes wide open.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Mariana Hive, in the Red Cave.

A man and woman were having a conversation while watching footage projected onto the wall from Capulus’s eye.

Alice Melville and Han Siwoo – two people who had nearly been killed by the same person for different reasons.

Han Siwoo spoke first.

“…Is that it? Are you sure?”

“Yeah, that’s it.”

“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look like a submarine. More like an objet d’art if anything.”

“I’m sure. That’s definitely it.”

“I thought I’d never see a worse design than Capulus, but here we are.”

“Shut up.”

Though they were cooperating, their relationship could hardly be called good even as a polite fiction.

More precisely, Alice harbored one-sided anger toward Han Siwoo. Han Siwoo simply accepted it calmly, knowing he had done wrong.

His constant glibness was just part of his personality.

He had deliberately hardened his heart to avoid losing himself through repeated time loops.

Thanks to that, he was able to patch his shattered heart with the crude adhesive of laughter.

Since he was the one who had torn his own heart apart, he had no right to feel wronged.

“It’s a bit faster than expected, but well. Shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ll go now.”

After muttering to herself, Alice gave orders to Han Siwoo.

This was how their partnership typically worked.

The crippled Alice would give orders, and the blind Han Siwoo would follow them.

All to pick the last remaining fruit called ‘the salvation of the world.’

“Sigh… I’ll be going. I enter through there, right?”

“That’s right.”

Alice nodded as Han Siwoo pointed at the Capulus.

“Keep sending the signal.”

Han Siwoo passed by Alice and placed his hand on Capulus’s eye.

Then, with a swooshing sensation of being sucked in, his eyes closed automatically.

When he opened them again, he was in the East Sea they had seen in the footage earlier.

In his sight was the ridiculous submarine floating in the distance.

After confirming its position, Han Siwoo turned to look behind him.

Behind him were the materials needed for this ‘operation’.

One communication Capulus, two Capulus painted black, and four Capulus connected with iron chains.

Finally, there was one golden monster, tightly bound in chains and trembling.

It had taken a full 40 days to capture this ray-like creature.

After checking the condition of the materials, Han Siwoo stood still and listened carefully.

Soon, a crackling sound came from the communication Capulus, followed by a voice.

“Are you ready?”

“Yeah. Checked everything. The golden ray is OK too.”

“Good. I’ll count to three, then break those chains on my signal.”

Along with Alice’s voice, the two black-painted Capulus began moving from Han Siwoo’s position toward Yuna’s submarine.

About 15 seconds passed.

“One, two, three.”

Clang-!!

Han Siwoo brought down his hand, releasing the golden ray monster. The freed golden monster paused briefly to survey its surroundings, then quickly disappeared from view at high speed.

“Ah, aah!!”

Meanwhile, Shin Yuna.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Black ones, black ones!!!!”

Two black submarines she had been so desperate to meet had appeared before her.

In reality, it was just an illusion created by Capulus painted black, but Yuna had no idea.

So naturally, her eyes went wild as she began chasing the two submarines like a woman possessed.

After about 10 minutes of relentless pursuit, Yuna finally succeeded in sinking both submarines.

“Wahahahaha!! How do you like that!!!”

Poor Shin Yuna. She would never know that she had been deceived in this moment for the rest of her life.

Well, that’s not what’s important.

Then what is important, you ask?

Obviously, it’s the unidentified golden monster that appeared before Yuna.

‘What is that?’

So focused on sinking the enemy submarines during the intense chase, Yuna had somehow reached coordinates she had never been to before.

And right before her eyes, a golden ray that gleamed as if polished was swimming leisurely.

Yuna stared at this unidentified monster before her for a moment.

‘It’s beautiful…’

The stingray glowing golden in the dark depths of the sea was truly magnificent.

‘Right, let’s catch it.’

She firmly decided to catch it and mount it as a trophy at home.

The weapons equipped on Yuna’s submarine were designed primarily to deal with submarine fleets.

But they could certainly take on monsters too. This had been proven during her broadcasts with Parang.

Without hesitation, Yuna pressed the launch button, and soon she was able to drive a harpoon straight into the golden ray monster’s heart.

“Got it!!!”

Yuna was overjoyed. From her perspective, she had both gotten revenge and caught a beautiful fish.

In reality, she had unknowingly walked right into Alice’s carefully laid trap.

So when she saw the message that appeared before her eyes, Yuna was utterly shocked.
