Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

Liu Xue stood at the door of the driver's seat, staring at the floating Q-version figure on the central control screen for several seconds.

In the end, I didn't ask any more questions.

He turned and walked out.

The Xinghai sped away from the port. The sea changed from grayish-blue to deep blue, then from deep blue to an almost inky dark blue. The distant coastline disappeared completely from sight.

More than an hour later.

The yacht arrived at an open area of ​​the open sea, automatically slowed down, and hovered.

Top deck.

Zhou Dahai's seasickness medication was wasted. The 50-meter yacht had a deep draft and was as stable as if it were flat land. He circled the top-of-the-line kitchen equipment three times, having completely forgotten about seasickness.

He was standing in the open-air barbecue area, his apron tightly tied. With his left hand, he was flipping a thick slice of Australian Wagyu beef, while with his right hand, he was using long tongs to adjust the position of a king crab leg on the charcoal fire.

Grease dripped.

With a sizzling sound.

The aroma of meat mingled with the sea breeze and swept across the entire deck.

"Uncle Zhou, it smells so good it makes my mouth water!" Liu Xiaoyu leaned over the bar, her head lolling out.

Zhou Dahai didn't even look up. "What's the rush? Go play in the water first, I'll call you when you're done."

Four decks.

The infinity pool shimmered with light.

Xiao Yuqing was the first to change into her swimsuit. Wearing a light blue bikini, her long hair piled up behind her head, she plunged into the pool from the edge. Water splashed everywhere. She surfaced, shook her hair, and waved to the poolside.

"Come on down! The water temperature is just right!"

Ji Yanran changed into a black one-piece swimsuit. She sat by the pool, only putting her calves in the water.

Liu Xiaoyu ran out of the changing room wearing a sporty two-piece swimsuit. Stepping onto the slippery deck, she nearly stumbled and fell. Liu Xue reached out to support her arm.

"Slower."

Liu Xue wore a white bikini with a sheer long cardigan over it. She had no intention of going into the water. She sat down on a lounge chair by the pool, crossed her legs, and scrolled through her phone.

Miao Miao, wearing a pink inflatable swimming ring, was carried by Li Niannian and placed in the shallow end of the pool. The little girl started splashing around as soon as she touched the water, her laughter so shrill it could pierce the sea breeze.

"Brother Li, come swimming!"

Li Yichen did not go to the swimming pool.

He was wearing a pair of black aviator sunglasses, lying on a beach chair at the stern of the third deck. The sea breeze made him feel sleepy.

The phone was placed on the small round table next to me.

Sudden--

"elder brother."

Ling'er's notification came through the phone's speaker.

Li Yichen lifted his sunglasses.

"A group of large biological signals detected 100 meters directly below the ship." Ling'er's chibi-style character crouched in the corner of the screen, hands on her knees, head tilted. "They're quite large; the largest signal source is over four meters long."

Li Yichen sat up from the beach chair.

Four meters.

That's no ordinary fish.

He pushed his sunglasses up to his head, stood up, and strode into the ship's interior storage room. From an aluminum toolbox in the corner, he pulled out the equipment he had bought yesterday for 1.28 million.

Full carbon fiber rod body. Deep-sea electric fishing reel. Nano 8-strand PE line.

He squatted on the deck, assembling the rod with clean and efficient movements. The rod sections were connected one by one, the fishing reel was inserted into the reel seat, the fishing line was passed through the guides, and a fist-sized special deep-sea lure was attached to the end.

I weighed the lead weight in my hand. It was heavy.

Chu Feng had appeared standing to the side at some point. He had been patrolling the first deck when he heard the commotion and came up.

"Boss, fishing?"

"Well, we're out at sea, how can we not go fishing and make the most of this trip?"

Li Yichen stood up. He walked to the fishing platform at the stern of the boat. His feet touched the non-slip deck. Gripping the rod end with his right hand, he used his waist to power a sudden, powerful swing of his arm—

Whoosh.

The sinker, carrying the bait, traced a silver arc before plunging into the sea.

White splashes erupted. The fishing line shot out rapidly. The electric fishing reel whirred.

One hundred meters.

The line stopped. The bait was in place.

Xiao Yuqing poked half her body out of the pool. "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

"fishing."

What kind of fish are you fishing for?

"A big fish."

Liu Xiaoyu ran over wrapped in a bath towel. Ji Yanran also stood up from the poolside. Even Liu Xue put down her phone and walked to the railing at the stern of the boat to look down.

"What can you catch in such deep water?" Liu Xue asked.

"Who knows? The ocean is so vast, and there are so many fish."

Li Yichen didn't turn around. He gripped the fishing rod with both hands, his gaze fixed on the sea.

One minute.

Two minutes.

three minutes.

The sea was unusually calm.

Miao Miao was being held by Li Niannian, standing at a distance. "Did Brother Li catch any fish?"

"Not yet, wait a minute."

five minutes.

Suddenly, something was wrong with the sea surface.

The tip of the fishing rod trembled suddenly.

Immediately afterwards—

The entire carbon fiber fishing rod instantly bent into a terrifying arc. The rod almost broke in two.

The load shearer emitted a sharp, piercing screech.

The fishing reel spun wildly. The fishing line shot out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Holy shit!" Chu Feng blurted out.

Li Yichen pushed off the deck with both feet. His body tensed instantly. The muscles in his arms bulged under his short sleeves, and veins stretched from his forearms to the backs of his hands.

The terrifying physical abilities brought about by the genetically optimized serum were unleashed at this moment.

Ten times the grip strength of an average person to lock the fishing rod firmly.

The carbon fiber rod made a teeth-grinding creaking sound. The entire rod was bent into an inverted U-shape.

The fishing line was taut and vibrated in the sunlight.

Chu Feng stood to the side. His expression changed.

Having served in special forces, he had the most intuitive sense of strength. He estimated the tension the fishing line was bearing to be at least four or five hundred kilograms. With that kind of force, an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to hold onto the fishing rod—they'd probably be dragged into the sea along with it.

But Li Yichen stood there steadily.

His feet were rooted to the spot on the deck. He didn't move an inch.

With his upper body slightly leaning back, his waist and back formed a stable support structure. All the power of his body was channeled through his arms to the fishing rod, creating a terrifying stalemate with the unseen behemoth underwater.

"What is this thing..." Chu Feng's Adam's apple bobbed.

Xiao Yuqing stood behind, covering her mouth. Liu Xiaoyu's knuckles turned white as she gripped the railing. Ji Yanran's eyes narrowed.

The sea began to churn.

A huge whirlpool slowly formed thirty meters from the stern of the ship. The water surface was churned into a murky mess.

Immediately afterwards—the entire fifty-meter yacht turned slightly at an angle.

A steel behemoth worth five or six hundred million was pulled by something underwater.

"My goodness, boss, did you catch the Dragon King of the Sea?" Ji Yanran joked.

Li Yichen gritted his teeth.

The creaking sound from the pole grew louder and louder. The nano-PE wire was almost transparent from being stretched taut.

The fishing tackle shop owner's tenfold compensation agreement flashed through my mind.

Now is not the time to think about that.

"Ling'er!"

"exist!"

"Start the yacht's propulsion system and roll it in the opposite direction!"

All the indicator lights on the center console switched on. All five thrusters started simultaneously.

Ling'er completed the calculations within milliseconds—the direction of the giant object's pull, the yacht's current attitude, and the influence coefficient of ocean currents. The five thrusters each output different power.

A steel behemoth with tens of thousands of horsepower clashed head-on with a creature from the deep sea.

The yacht's deflection angle was slightly corrected.

The ship has stabilized.

But the fishing line was still taut and about to break.

Li Yichen's arms were bulging with veins. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes.

The whirlpools on the sea surface swelled and shrank. The colossal creature beneath the water was making its final struggle, veering left and right. Ling'er tracked it precisely, her thrusters making real-time adjustments.

Thirty minutes.

The tension began to weaken.

Li Yichen felt it. The pressure on his arm was gradually decreasing.

"It's almost out of steam."

Forty minutes.

The churning of the sea subsided completely. The angle of the fishing line gradually changed from almost horizontal to an upward slant.

The massive underwater object was being dragged up inch by inch.

The electric fishing reel begins to reel in the fishing line. *Buzz*.

Everyone crowded around the railing at the stern. Even Zhou Dahai put down his spatula and ran over. Miao Miao rode on Chu Feng's shoulders, her little hands resting on top of his head.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

ten meters.

A huge dark shadow appeared beneath the sea.

It's getting clearer and clearer.

getting bigger.

"My God, what the hell is that?!" Chu Feng's mouth gaped open to its widest extent.

The water surface exploded.

A colossal creature burst forth from the water.

Its body is a streamlined, silvery-blue color. The back is deep blue, and the belly is silvery-white. The tail fin slams violently against the water, creating a splash that is two meters high.

Bluefin tuna.

It is over four meters long.

His muscles gleamed with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The whole fish is larger than a small car.

There was a deathly silence on the deck for a full three seconds.

Then--

"Ah!" Xiao Yuqing screamed.

"Is this a fish? Is this a fish?!" Liu Xiaoyu grabbed Liu Xue's arm and shook it frantically.

Ji Yanran braced her hands on the railing, her lips moved several times, but she only managed to utter a few words: "This is outrageous."

Chu Feng took Miao off his neck. He rushed to the stern crane in two strides and pulled down the steel cable hook.

"Boss! I'll do it!"

Li Yichen put down his fishing rod. His arms were so sore he could barely lift them, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Chu Feng operated the crane. The steel cable winch started. In sync with Li Yichen's reeling in, the giant tuna was slowly dragged out of the water and hoisted onto the deck.

boom.

The fish slammed onto the deck. The whole ship jolted.

This bluefin tuna filled half the fishing platform. Its tail was still twitching. Its silvery-blue scales reflected the midday sun.

Zhou Dahai pushed through the crowd and squatted down next to the fish.

He stretched out a hand, trembling, and placed it on the fish's belly.

"My God."

Zhou Dahai stood up. He turned around. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Boss!"

He pointed at the fish. His voice was trembling.

"Top-grade bluefin tuna! Estimated to weigh at least 900 pounds! If this were auctioned off at the market—it would start at 20 million!"

He squatted down again, holding the fish head in his hands and looking at it from left to right.

"No, no, what are you selling! Tonight I'm making a whole fish feast! Belly, mid-belly, lean meat, and brain—all freshly cut!"

Zhou Dahai's face turned bright red, and he rubbed his hands together, spinning around on the deck.

"I've been a chef for thirty years, and this is the first time in my life I've ever seen such a huge bluefin tuna! Boss, you're doing me this favor today, so tonight's meal—I'll risk my life to make it a national treasure!"

Miaomiao squatted next to the fish's tail. She stuck out a little finger and poked it.

"Brother Li."

"Um?"

"This fish is bigger than our sofa!"

Everyone on deck laughed.

Li Yichen leaned against the railing. The sea breeze dried the sweat on his forehead. He looked down at his hands. Two red marks were rubbed off his palms by the fishing rod handle.

A pole worth 1.28 million.

It's not broken.

The owner of that fishing tackle shop must be laughing in his sleep today—he saved 12.8 million.
