He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Wang Kai called out loudly.

"Hey Boss Gong, how's it going? Is that spotted moonfish you caught still alive?"

Then, they quickly introduced both parties.

Boss Gong's real name is Gong Daming. This large fishing vessel belongs to him, and he has dozens or even hundreds of men under his command. They specialize in going out to sea to catch big fish.

The men in suits were all researchers from relevant national institutions.

Old Gong sighed and waved his hand.

"Take a look first and see if it works."

Then, he instructed his men to move a specially made large water tank down.

This specially made large water tank is quite big; it took seven or eight people to carefully lift and carry it down the ladder.

When Gong Daming said those words, Wang Kai and several other researchers' expressions changed slightly, and they appeared even more nervous.

As soon as the large water tank was unloaded and the lid was opened, Wang Kai and the others quickly went to look at it.

His expression changed drastically.

At this moment, many people around were also peeking in this direction, but they were all stopped by the police and could not get close.

On a fishing boat a little further away, He Zhenzhen also heard their conversation and lowered her voice.

"Hey, what's a 'spotted moonfish'? It sounds really high-end, isn't it? Is it really rare and valuable?"

Niu Bayi nodded solemnly.

"This kind of spotted moonfish is not only very rare and valuable, but it is also not easy to catch. Some people say that it is something you can only hope to encounter once in a while. If you want to actively catch it, it is absolutely impossible."

"Only when fishing in the open ocean, if you're lucky, can you catch one or two fish."

Then, he gave a brief introduction.

This spotted moonfish is so beautiful that it is even called the most beautiful fish in the world.

Its adult size is also quite large, reaching over one meter, or even two meters, and weighing two to three hundred kilograms.

Moreover, it has another characteristic.

Most fish in the ocean are cold-blooded, even tuna are locally thermoregulatory.

The spotted moonfish is the only fish with a constant body temperature.

Its meat is also very delicious, but once caught, no one is willing to eat it because it is so rare.

Therefore, they are usually used as specimens.

The price of a specimen of the spotted moonfish is many times higher than the price of the fish meat itself.

Because this fish is very rare, it has become the subject of research for many scientific research institutions.

After listening, He Zhenzhen seemed particularly interested and nodded repeatedly.

"I've learned something new, Ba Yi. I didn't expect you to know so much about this kind of spotted moonfish. I've never even heard of it before."

She straightened up slightly and looked directly in that direction.

However, because it was a bit far away and blocked by a bunch of people, it wasn't very clear.

She exclaimed, "Bayi, I'll stand on the side of the boat, you hold me up, and I'll see if the spotted moonfish is really that beautiful, like you said, the most beautiful fish in the world!"

She grabbed Niu Bayi's hand and stood on the side of the boat.

Niu Bayi was both amused and exasperated, but he could only support her and let her stand on top.

Suddenly, He Zhenzhen found herself at a high vantage point, and looking over there, she could see it clearly.

She exclaimed incredulously, "My goodness, Bayi, this spotted moonfish is so beautiful! It's all red and perfectly round, just like a full moon!"

"It's also covered with many white dots, like stars, no wonder it's called the Star-Spotted Moonfish."

"But it seems to be dead, it's not moving at all."

At this moment, Wang Kai and the other researchers all shook their heads and sighed repeatedly.

The oldest researcher even stomped his foot.

"It's such a pity they died. Why did they have to die like that? We should live!"

Wang Kai shook his head repeatedly, looking at Gong Daming with some reproach.

"Boss Gong, didn't I tell you that if we actually spotted a spotted moonfish at sea, we had to catch it alive no matter what? Why did you send a dead one over?"

Gong Daming spread his hands, looking utterly helpless.

"Experts, Director Wang, you should all know that the spotted moonfish is very delicate. Although it won't die as soon as it goes out to sea, it is very difficult for it to survive and be transported to the destination."

"I've caught a few before, but they all died shortly after being brought out of the water and could only be used as specimens."

"Trying to get live research is simply a pipe dream. Anyway, I've done my best. I told Director Wang before that the spotted moonfish is alive when it comes out of the water, but I can't guarantee that it will be delivered here alive."

"Take a look and see if you want it. It would make a great specimen. Over the decades, I've caught four spotted moonfish, and this one is the biggest and has the most vibrant colors."

Wang Kai also seemed helpless, so he looked at the experts.

"Experts, what's your thinking? Should we keep this dead spotted moonfish? Professor Li, what do you think?"

This Professor Li is the oldest researcher.

Teacher Li gave a bitter smile.

"We've had specimens of the spotted moonfish for over a decade. Now we want them alive, and it's not just me who wants them alive; it's a research institution from a certain country."

"Our country wants to maintain good relations with that country, and that country has requested a live spotted moonfish for marine research."

"We can't catch him over there!"

"So this has become an important political task; they definitely don't want to send the dead over."

"These spotted moonfish are rare, but who hasn't lost one or two?"

Wang Kai immediately gave a wry smile.

Gong Daming was already mentally prepared.

"This spotted moonfish has only been dead for a day and a half, so it's perfect time to make a specimen. If you really don't want it, I can only cut it up and sell the meat. Anyway, it hasn't rotted, so I can make some money selling the meat."

Wang Kai sighed heavily.

"We'll have to see which research institution wants to use this spotted moonfish as a specimen; we really can't get it alive."

Teacher Li shook her head and sighed, her face full of disappointment.

"Is this mission really impossible to complete? We already promised that research institutions in that country that we would get one no matter what, and now we've slapped ourselves in the face."

"Could it be that among all these big fishermen who go out to sea, not a single one can manage to get a live spotted moonfish?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Daming immediately shook his head.

"Nobody else can do it, only I can!"

"Don't be fooled by the large number of fishermen here. Only I know roughly where the spotted moonfish appear and which area to cast the net in to increase my chances of catching it."

"Most importantly, looking across the entire dock, only my fishing boat—no, it should be called a fishing vessel—can go far enough out to sea to find the area where the spotted moonfish lives."

He still looked arrogant.

The other fishermen also knew how prestigious and capable Gong Daming was, and they all nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the city dock is so big, and there are so many fishermen, so he's probably the only one who could catch the new star moonfish.

Just then, a clear and melodious voice rang out from not far away.

"Nonsense, my man can catch this kind of spotted moonfish too!"

Immediately, Gong Daming's expression changed, and he turned his head angrily to look at him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kai's gloomy expression instantly brightened.

He slapped his thigh.

"Oh my, isn't that Zhenzhen's voice?"

He quickly turned his head to look.

Sure enough, He Zhenzhen had already jumped off the side of the boat and was leaning against Niu Bayi, waving to Wang Kai.

"Director Wang, hello there! It's been several days since we last met."

Wang Kai strode over excitedly.

"Brother Niu, can you really catch a spotted moonfish? This is an important national political mission. If you can catch it, you'll get at least 20000 yuan as a reward!!"
