The fishing boat struggled forward against the waves.

Wu Lei gripped the steering wheel, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

He stared intently at the radar, sweat beading on his forehead and streaming down his face, too busy to even wipe it away.

"Ah Sui, the terrain down there is too chaotic..." Wu Lei's voice was strained.

"The entire area is riddled with reefs, uneven and deep, and the trawl net could get snagged at any time."

Wu Sui stood in front of the control panel, his eyes fixed on the radar screen in his mind.

The dense cluster of golden dots representing the fish, along with the clearly visible outline of the fishing net on the radar, were gradually approaching the golden light.

"Brother Lei, hold on." Wu Sui placed his hands on the table. "Slow down, don't pull hard, go with the ocean current."

Wu Lei gritted his teeth and pulled the throttle lever back a little, maintaining the speed at 4 knots.

"If this gets caught, tens of thousands of yuan worth of internet access will be lost..."

"If you really die, it's on me." Wu Sui's tone was so firm for the first time. "Keep going forward, five degrees to the right."

Wu Sui sighed, not saying much, and could only keep his eyes glued to the radar.

Wu Gang, Chen Yang, Wang Dazhu, and Chen Yongqiang stood neatly on the railing at the stern of the boat, craning their necks to look down.

The sea was very calm; there wasn't a single fish in sight, let alone any splashing water from schools of fish.

After staring at it for a while, Chen Yang felt dizzy and nauseous again, so he quickly straightened up and looked at Wang Dazhu next to him.

"Big Zhu, did you see that?"

Wang Dazhu shook his head and spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth.

"No, it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything."

Chen Yongqiang leaned on the railing, his face full of confusion.

"What did Brother Sui see in the driver's seat? He's so excited, like he's been injected with adrenaline."

Wu Gang rubbed his hands together, feeling uneasy.

"The water is almost 300 meters deep here. What's wrong with Ah Sui today? Why is he insisting on dragging us here?"

Chen Yang sighed.

"My brother-in-law's eyesight is amazing! Can he see through the seabed?"

"If we pull up a net full of rocks, we'll have worked for nothing today."

Wang Dazhu glared at Chen Yang.

"Shut your jinxed mouth! When has Brother Sui ever made a mistake?"

"Weren't those six tons of black cattle yesterday also caught in a trap set by Brother Sui?"

Chen Yang shrank back, not daring to utter another word, and could only continue to stare blankly at the sea.

Time passed second by second.

Wu Sui's heart was beating faster and faster.

On the system radar, the large cluster of golden dots was finally caught by the edge of the fishing net.

The first light spot started to penetrate into the net, and then, instead of scattering, the light spots behind it clustered together and squeezed deeper into the fishing net.

Become!

Wu Sui clenched his fists, his palms sweating profusely.

He stared at the screen, watching the golden light being swallowed up little by little by the network port.

As most of the golden light spots had already entered the net, and less than two hundred meters ahead lay a dense cluster of reefs.

If you drag it any further, it will definitely snag on the bottom!

"Brother Lei, change course." Wu Sui suddenly stood up and directed Wu Lei.

Wu Lei felt as if he had been granted a pardon and slowly changed direction.

Wu Sui got out of the driver's seat and shouted to the crowd, "Raise the net!"

Upon hearing the command, the four people on the deck immediately sprang to their feet.

"We've got a job! We've got a job!" Chen Yang rubbed his hands excitedly and ran towards the winch.

Wang Dazhu pressed the switch.

The taut steel cable began to slowly roll back.

As the steel cable retracted, the fishing net was gradually pulled up.

"The water's coming out! The water's coming out!" Chen Yongqiang shouted, pointing at the sea.

The group quickly went up to remove the baffle and hung the fishing net on the crane arm.

Seawater gushed through the mesh of the net.

The group of people, who had been full of anticipation, were all stunned when they saw the size of the net bag.

Chen Yang's smile froze. He pointed at the fishing net in mid-air and remained speechless for a long time.

Chen Yongqiang looked utterly disappointed: "Damn, that's all?"

Wang Dazhu also frowned.

"It doesn't look like much, maybe just over a ton at most."

Wu Gang sighed and walked to the side to get the plastic basket for holding the fish.

"More than a ton is quite a lot, let's get ready to get to work."

Chen Yang kicked the deck.

"I got all excited for nothing. I thought it was going to go viral."

"Taking such a big risk, after more than an hour, all they managed to pull up was this little bit of stuff."

Chen Yongqiang leaned closer to Chen Yang and lowered his voice.

"Xiaoyang, do you think this net is going to hold another ton of filefish?"

"If another ton of filefish comes in, I'm going to have nightmares tonight."

Chen Yang rolled his eyes.

"You're asking me? How am I supposed to ask you? You'll find out when it's untied."

Wu Sui strode onto the deck.

Seeing their dejected looks, I almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you all standing there for? Set up the baskets and get ready to fill them with fish."

Chen Yang dragged a few baskets, feeling somewhat annoyed.

"Brother-in-law, this net only weighs about a thousand pounds. A few of us can easily handle it. There's no need to put so many baskets on it."

Chen Yongqiang echoed this sentiment.

"Yeah, Brother Sui, if we get another net full of filefish, I don't think we'll even need to sort them, we can just send them straight to the cold storage."

Wu Sui was too lazy to explain to them.

He walked to the bottom of the net bag and looked up.

The mesh was stretched very tightly, and a bright color could be faintly seen through it.

Wu Sui swallowed hard, suppressing his overwhelming joy, and reached out to grab the knot at the bottom of the net, pulling it forcefully.

"Splash..."

The net opened, and the fish inside, freed from their restraints, poured out!

Within seconds, a small mountain of debris had piled up on the deck.

It's all fish.

Moreover, they are all the same kind of fish.

It wasn't very big, but its scales shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight.

A vast expanse of golden light!

The entire deck was illuminated by this golden light.

Everyone on deck was frozen in place, staring blankly as the fish thrashed about.

Chen Yongqiang rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, and then pinched his thigh hard.

"Ouch!" he cried out in pain, only then realizing he wasn't dreaming.

Wu Gang, holding the basket, suddenly felt his legs give way and he collapsed to the ground.

"This...this..."

He pointed at the fish on the ground, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Wu Lei had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard no movement outside for a long time, so he simply turned off the engine and went out.

With just one glance, he practically plunged into the pile of fish.

With trembling hands, he picked up a fish from the ground.

The fish has a golden belly, a faint glow on its back, and long, slender fins.

"Big... big..."

Wu Lei's voice was trembling, his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Wu Sui stood aside, watching the reactions of these people, feeling incredibly pleased.

No wonder so many people like to show off.

It's like everyone else is drunk but I'm the only one sober, and I'm completely calm, while you guys are just a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world.

This is the true value of the golden light!
