As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up

Chapter 241: Chapter 210: The Concept of Water Dance

Chapter 241 -210: The Concept of Water Dance

Jiang Luoluo was clearly interested in fishing and hunting, and eagerly took the fishing spear from Ah Cheng, “What should I do?”

“Go find the fish hiding in the rock crevices, and then spear them.” Spearfishing is the simplest part of fishing and hunting; after Chu Mingcheng explained some basic techniques, he let her search for prey on her own.

He followed behind to ensure her safety.

Jiang Luoluo dived into the water, her long, beautiful legs joined together, powering from her waist and abdomen like a mermaid gliding underwater.

Chu Mingcheng, holding an underwater camera, captured this scene.

He found that the way women moved in water was indeed beautiful; no wonder so many women learned mermaid swimming to earn money with their graceful swimming postures.

What if Jiang Luoluo performed an ancient-style dance underwater?

Chu Mingcheng suddenly thought it seemed like a fun idea, and it would definitely look great.

But isn’t performing an ancient-style dance underwater a bit too challenging?

While he was lost in thought, Jiang Luoluo had already found a hunting target.

She had seen how Chu Mingcheng hunted underwater numerous times and knew what to do.

She first swam to the surface to breathe, then dived back into the water.

Her long legs kicking, she easily reached the very bottom with the aid of her fins.

The water was only about ten meters deep, and Jiang Luoluo, with her excellent physical condition, felt no discomfort at all from holding her breath and swimming to the bottom.

Some women can’t handle even two meters underwater; it’s not because they are uncomfortable with the water but because they are too tense, causing their ears to not clear properly.

Knowing that Chu Mingcheng was by her side, Jiang Luoluo felt completely relaxed, which gave her confidence.

She took out the fishing spear and aimed at a green long-headed fish that thought it hadn’t been spotted yet within a crevice.

She pressed the button on the spear, and the spearhead shot out instantly.

However, Jiang Luoluo’s final movement lacked precision, and the long-headed fish hiding in the crevice darted out at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the spear.

The long-headed fish made a narrow escape, darting out of the crevice towards the distance.

Who knew that the moment it reached the surface, a sudden fishing arrow pierced through its body?

Chu Mingcheng had prepared the fishing gun when Jiang Luoluo struck, and he was just taking precautions.

If the fish had swum along the coral, it would have definitely escaped.

However, in its panic, it swam first to Jiang Luoluo’s left upper side, so naturally Chu Mingcheng did not miss the opportunity and tried shooting an arrow, unexpectedly hitting it.

“I thought it had escaped, but it turns out it couldn’t escape your snare, could it!” Jiang Luoluo swam to the surface to breathe and said.

She did not feel disheartened by returning empty-handed; missing the fish on her first hunt was normal.

“It was also luck on my part; it was moving fast, and I wasn’t confident I’d hit it,” Chu Mingcheng said, laughing as he bled the long-headed fish and then hung it on the live fish hook.

He continued accompanying Jiang Luoluo in her fishing and hunting until she successfully hit a tiger bream hiding in a cave.

The tiger bream wasn’t very big, only about three to four pounds, but for Jiang Luoluo, it held sentimental value as the first fish she had hunted.

“Ah Cheng, let’s eat this tiger bream tonight!”

“This is the first fish you hunted; aren’t you planning to sell it?”

“I think eating it will truly reflect its significance.”

Tiger bream: I thank you!

After a while spent fishing and hunting, Jiang Luoluo felt a bit tired, so she returned to the boat to rest first and fish with a fishing rod.

The fishing rod was naturally brought in advance; Chu Mingcheng had considered that his fishing and hunting sessions tended to last long, so he specifically brought it for Jiang Luoluo to pass the time.

Just as expected, it came in handy.

The bait was Antarctic shrimp bought on the boat; setting up a bait nest and then fishing for groupers was quite effective.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng leaned against the boat and brought up his earlier idea, “Luoluo, I thought your dance in the water would look really nice. Have you considered seriously practicing holding your breath, then recording a dance video underwater?”

“Oh, that sounds pretty interesting?” Jiang Luoluo’s eyes lit up, immediately showing interest.

The concept of underwater dance had never crossed her mind before; now that Chu Mingcheng mentioned it, she thought filming underwater dances might be a viable path in the future.

She has been a dance zone UP master for several years, and video production was becoming increasingly difficult. It’s not possible to always have inspiration, and she would get frustrated when lacking it.

However, dancing underwater is not an easy task, Jiang Luoluo immediately thought of many difficulties she needed to overcome.

“It’s just dancing in water, but the environmental requirements seem quite high. Plus, lighting, filming, and whether I can stay active underwater for a long time seem like many challenges.”

Chu Mingcheng, however, felt these were not big issues, and said, “Don’t worry, difficulties can be overcome step by step! You can start by practicing holding your breath to ensure you can stay active underwater for a long time.”

“Underwater lights can solve the lighting issue, and I can learn about photography to replace Zhang Ruomei as your cameraperson.”

“So the most important thing for you right now is to first improve your lung capacity.”

Upon hearing his words, Jiang Luoluo felt he was right, and since she was genuinely interested in underwater dance, she asked him how to improve her lung capacity and began practicing right away.

However, this was a long-term practice, and filming an underwater dance on short notice was not possible.

Chu Mingcheng rested for a while, then observed the situation of Zhang Wei and Chen Yang in the distance.

Seeing they were still spearfishing and had no issues, he chose a direction and began swimming toward it.

Being alone, he definitely chose a deeper water area.

If the shallow areas already had so many good catches, the deeper areas needed no further mention.

Having swum about a hundred meters or so, Chu Mingcheng reached an area of water about thirty meters deep.

The seabed here was still all coral, with occasional small patches of sand.

Even though the waters of Nansha were clear, from the surface, he couldn’t clearly see the specific conditions of the seabed.

Thus, Chu Mingcheng dove directly into the water, reaching the mid-water area, about fifteen meters from the seabed.

After swimming for a short while, a fish storm suddenly appeared on his right, with a swarm of unknown small fish unexpectedly arriving, resembling clownfish in appearance.

But they were light yellow in color, with black stripes like those of Striped Rockfish, likely some type of coral fish.

The fish were basically around ten centimeters in length, and Chu Mingcheng lost interest after a glance.

Just then, the bottom of the school suddenly became chaotic as the fish scattered in all directions, and it took a while before that gap closed up again.

This commotion clearly captured Chu Mingcheng’s attention; he swam over to investigate and discovered a striped bamboo shark on the ocean floor—it was the Cat Shark he had caught before.

This type of shark goes by different names in various places; some call it a Cat Shark, while others call it a Dog Shark.

These aren’t important. What is important is that this creature isn’t cheap.

Under normal circumstances, during coastal foraging, one could only catch those weighing a pound or two.

If there was one weighing seven or eight pounds or even more, that would be a behemoth among Cat Sharks.

The one he had found now was definitely over one meter in length.

Its front half was thick and plump, visually indicating its heft.

Unfortunately, its tail was relatively thin. Although long, it didn’t have much meat, so this Cat Shark probably wouldn’t weigh more than thirty pounds.

But even so, the value of this Cat Shark could be around four to five thousand, making it worth Chu Mingcheng’s intervention.

The Cat Shark’s swimming speed was very slow, and since it was attracted by the school of fish, the entire shark appeared on a patch of sand with no place to hide around it.

Chu Mingcheng released the speargun, letting it float in the water, and then took down the spear from his back.

Since he had just arrived in Nansha, he didn’t need to worry about keeping live fish.

Swimming above the Cat Shark, he aimed the spear at the shark’s head and with a ‘thunk’ sound, the spear point pierced into the Cat Shark’s brain, pinning it to the sand.

The Cat Shark struggled wildly, stirring up sand and momentarily obscuring Chu Mingcheng’s view.

But he didn’t leave. Instead, he continued holding down the Cat Shark.

After checking his dive watch, he realized it had been over three minutes before the Cat Shark finally stopped moving.

Afterward, Chu Mingcheng retrieved his spear, grabbed the Cat Shark by its tail, picked up the speargun floating in the water, and began swimming back.

In fact, he didn’t want to keep swimming back and forth with such a hassle, but given the size of the prey he encountered, he had no choice.

Little did he know, before he reached the surface, he discovered that the boat was already above him.

After breaking the surface, seeing Jiang Luoluo waving at him, Chu Mingcheng felt warmed inside. Clearly, she had been keeping an eye on him,

noticing that he had stayed underwater for a long time and had specifically come to check on him.

Handing over the dead Cat Shark to her, Chu Mingcheng instructed, “Luoluo, go and check on Ah Wei and the others. They have been hunting for so long, they should have a good catch too.”

“Okay, I’ll check it out now,” Jiang Luoluo nodded, set the Cat Shark neatly, then drove the small boat toward Zhang Wei’s location.

Bringing this girlfriend was undoubtedly the right decision. With her help, Chu Mingcheng and the others could fish more relaxedly without having to shuttle back and forth with their catch.

Subsequently, he dove back into the water to hunt for new prey.

More than an hour had passed that morning, but the total of his catches hadn’t yet reached five thousand.

The boat fees alone for him and Jiang Luoluo were over eighty thousand, and with the anticipated continued boat rentals and other services, he estimated the total expenses might reach one hundred thousand.

It wasn’t possible to catch something every day for the next twenty-plus days, so he needed to recoup his investment quickly.

Chu Mingcheng’s main target was still mainly Groupers, since they usually sold for a high price.

After a while, he found his next target.

A Big Blue Spot leisurely nibbling on a shellfish at the edge of a coral.

Chu Mingcheng had caught many Blue Spots before, whether by fishing or spearfishing.

This type of Grouper was cheap, and he had never paid much attention to it.

But unexpectedly today, he encountered an especially large one, its size comparable to the Dragon Gizzard Grouper he had met before.
