Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Wu Sui began trying to recycle the line.

The hand crank proved incredibly difficult at this point.

The big fish exerted its strength again, pulling the few meters of line that had just been reeled in out once more.

The man and the fish engaged in a tug-of-war, remaining deadlocked for more than ten minutes.

The struggle underwater finally weakened a little.

Wu Sui seized the opportunity, jerked the fishing rod upwards, and quickly reeled in the line.

As they drew closer, a long, dark shadow began to appear faintly beneath the water's surface.

"Splash..."

A large, slender fish with a shimmering silver sheen burst out of the sea.

It twisted its body violently in mid-air, its huge head shaking wildly, trying to shake off the foreign object in its mouth.

Under the lights, the large mouth full of fangs looked particularly ferocious.

"Wash the gills, Ah Sui, quickly reel in the line, don't let it come loose, or it will slip off the hook." Lin Tao was jumping up and down anxiously beside him.

Wu Sui gritted his teeth and vigorously rocked the fishing boat.

The big fish leaped up again, its slender body gleaming silver under the searchlight, its sharp teeth clearly visible in its large mouth, and it was frantically shaking its head.

"Holy crap, it's a sea wolf!" A shopkeeper next to him shouted as he recognized the fish.

"A sea wolf this big? It must be at least two meters long!"

"It must weigh at least forty pounds, how come this handsome guy's pole didn't break?"

No one was discouraged because the fish was worthless.

After all, this was the first big fish caught on the entire ship, which was a good omen.

Even fishermen can catch big catches, so who dares to say they had bad luck this time?

Wu Sui didn't have time to listen to their idle chatter. This fish had strong explosive power and kept diving into the deep water.

He relies entirely on his feel and the feedback from the system's radar. When the fish exerts force, he loosens his grip a little to reduce the force, and when the fish stops, he frantically reels in the line.

Big Bear, carrying a long-handled hook, had already squeezed to the side of the boat, his eyes fixed on the water.

"Handsome guy, hold on, don't pull too hard, it'll wear it down!" Big Bear shouted a reminder.

Wu Sui nodded and calmly manipulated the fishing rod.

The sea wolf's momentum was finally worn away, and it lay on the sea surface, being dragged to the side of the ship by the waves.

The bear seized the opportunity, leaned out, and hooked the sea wolf's chin with its hook.

The two-meter-long sea wolf was dragged onto the deck.

The crowd immediately erupted in uproar.

"The first large cargo ship on the entire vessel!"

"This newbie aura is way too overpowered!"

"Damn it, I'm going to cast a couple more times too..."

A crowd gathered around, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Big Bear took the hook off and shouted.

"Congratulations to Boss No. 9 for winning first place."

The ship's crew members also shouted out in unison.

Wu Sui was still a little dazed when Lin Tao smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Only the first big cargo ship on every voyage gets this treatment. You really make us proud... hahaha!"

Seeing the envious looks from everyone, Wu Sui was so embarrassed he almost wanted to tear off the deck to reveal a three-bedroom apartment.

But when he saw the fish on the deck, he became excited again.

"Brother Tao, the camera," Wu Sui called out.

Lin Tao quickly ran back to get his camera.

Wu Sui tried to lift the fish, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't lift it.

It's not that it's heavy, it's just too long. He can take care of the beginning, but not the end.

After thinking for a moment, he simply plopped down on the deck, hugged the nearly two-meter-long sea wolf in his arms, and grinned.

The three young men in the same cabin quickly came over as well.

"Hey bro, can we take a couple of pictures?"

"Sure, feel free to take pictures." Wu Sui generously gave up her spot.

The three young men took turns hugging the sea wolf, striking various exaggerated poses.

Several other business owners nearby couldn't resist and rushed over to take photos with him, intending to use them to show off later.

Big Bear walked over with a notebook and a sign.

"Hey kid, I've tied tag number 9 to your tail. This fish needs to be bled and put in the cold storage right away, otherwise the meat will get tough."

Wu Sui nodded, letting Da Xiong handle it.

Big Bear swiftly bled the sea wolf, dragged it into the cold storage, and then turned around to shout at the people on the deck through a megaphone.

"Gentlemen, it's almost 1 a.m. We'll be at the bottom fishing spot for grouper by 4 p.m."

"We've caught enough fish in the pond, everyone hurry back to the cabin to catch some sleep and get some rest, because the real battle is about to begin."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and everyone returned to their cabins to rest.

Wu Sui returned to the cabin and glanced at Lin Tao, who was preparing to take off his clothes and go to sleep.

"Hey Tao, why are you sleeping? Come on, let's go sing a couple more songs?"

Wu Sui didn't get enough of singing at the karaoke bar in the afternoon.

I slept for so long this afternoon, and then caught a big fish. I'm feeling really excited.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tao's face turned green, and he immediately pulled the blanket over his head, covering it completely.

"Ah Sui, I beg you, please let me live for two more years, okay?"

"I'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open, you go by yourself!"

Wu Sui pouted: "That's so boring."

The three young people who were too excited to sleep nearby heard this.

"Hey bro, are you going to sing karaoke? Can we come along?"

"Is there karaoke on this ship?"

"Let's go, let's go. I can't sleep anyway. That sea wolf was so exciting. My heart is still racing."

Wu Sui's eyes lit up: "Sure, let's go, it's on me."

The four of them strolled up to the second floor and booked a private room.

After ordering fruit platters and drinks, Wu Sui and the three young people sat on the sofa and chatted.

"Are the three of you still in school?" Wu Sui asked casually.

The tallest boy was named Batu, and he scratched his head.

"We all went to university in Xiamen and just graduated this year. The three of us are from Inner Mongolia."

"Coming from Inner Mongolia to Xiamen to study?" Wu Sui was somewhat surprised.

Another boy named Su He chimed in.

"It's because I've never seen the sea, so I filled all my college applications with coastal cities."

"We were about to go back, so we decided to come out and try deep-sea fishing."

"Who knew the boat would rock so much? I almost threw up my bile."

Wu Sui casually asked, "What will you do after graduation? Take the civil service exam?"

"I won't take the civil service exam." Batu waved his hand, his tone very calm.

"My family has more than a thousand cows and more than two thousand sheep. My dad wants me to go back and take over the herding business."

Wu Sui almost spat out the drink he had just taken a sip of.

Good guy.

More than a thousand cows and more than two thousand sheep.

That's the confidence of the people of the grasslands!

"Come, come, it's fate that we met, let me sing you a song!"

Wu Sui may have been envious, but he wanted to sing a song even more.

The three young people, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, applauded enthusiastically from the sidelines.

"Brother, one more, please!"

Wu Sui put one foot on the coffee table, opened his mouth, and howled so loudly it shook heaven and earth.

The smiles on their faces froze completely, and they instinctively wanted to cover their ears.

They had never seen anyone sing so badly.

After Wu Sui finished singing one song, he went to request another, but Batu quickly stopped him.

"Brother... how about we rest for a bit and have some water?"

Wu Sui was singing enthusiastically when he took the microphone and walked up to Batu, gesturing for him to sing along.

For the next two hours or so, they experienced a mental torment even more terrifying than seasickness.

They finally understood why Lin Tao had preferred to pretend to be dead under the covers rather than come over.

Just as Batu was about to use the excuse of needing to urinate to escape, the loudspeaker announced something.

"Bosses, please!"

Big Bear's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"We've reached the bottom fishing spot for grouper."

"It's half tide now, so you can fish for 5 hours. If you want to fish, bring your boat rod. If you don't want to fish, please continue to rest."

Batu and his two companions felt as if they had been granted a pardon: "Brother Sui, let's go fishing."

Wu Sui put down the microphone, smacked his lips with lingering satisfaction, and then went downstairs.
