As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up

Chapter 260: Chapter 223 Jiang Luoluo’s Temptation Plan Chapter 260: Chapter 223 Jiang Luoluo’s Temptation Plan Back at home, Chu Mingcheng had no intention of sleeping.

After using a Life Conversion to eliminate the fatigue of the day, he planned to wait until late at night to go catch Scavengers.

This was something he had planned for a while, intending to dramatically improve his physical fitness before the fishing ban kicked in.

It was still a bit early, and fishing for Scavengers might lead to being seen.

Additionally, there was the possibility of Jiang Luoluo coming over, so to avoid any trouble, going in the dead of night was the safest bet.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng, staying at home, started to examine the changes in the Aquatic Products Atlas after his trip to Nansha.

First were the ordinary aquatic products, and the most abundant catch in Nansha was the Red Snapper, which are neither numerous nor costly enough to be considered high-quality.

However, they can be encountered in the waters of the far sea and are often found in large groups, making them a very important source of income for fishermen.

The Red Snapper had now reached level sixteen and could be quite helpful when Chu Mingcheng went fishing.

And the Atlas of Aquatic Products was nearing an upgrade as well.

[Aquatic Products Atlas (Level 2)]

[Current Experience: (43/70)]

[Unlockable Capture Tools: Hand, Fishing Gear, Fish Gun, Shrimp & Crab Cage]

[Maximum Level for Aquatic Products: 50]

[Unlocked Aquatic Products: 1 Mud Shrimp, 2 Crucian Carp, 3 Whitebait…]

[Special Abilities: Free Swimming, Aquatic Affinity Aura]

Only twenty-seven more species were needed to upgrade, and the big jump in experience value was mainly due to the variety of Groupers found in Nansha, along with various uncommon shellfish and snails.

The upgrade was definitely achievable this year, though the specifics were hard to pin down.

After all, he had already collected most of the common species found in the East Sea and South Sea. Once he had a large boat, he would be able to wander around and find those species he had not yet caught.

Next came the High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas. In Nansha, about 70% of the fish caught were high-quality, and theoretically, the level should have risen very quickly, but unfortunately, high-quality aquatic products required a lot of experience points.

Almost two-thousand jin of high-quality fish had only yielded a little over five hundred experience points.

This side detail indicated that the fish he caught were quite large, averaging around four jin each.

The current level had just increased to thirteen, leading to a slight improvement in the data.

[High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas (Level 13)]

[Current Experience: (213/1400)]

[Usable Tools: Hand, Fishing Gear (can be ripped by hand), Fish Gun (includes harpoon lassoes, etc.), Dragnet]

[Attract Fish (Level 13): Aquatic products within the owner’s range that meet the quality standards have a 13% probability of being attracted.]

[Affected Range: 13 meters in radius]

[Deliciousness: +13%]

[Size: +13%]

Looking at the data panel, Chu Mingcheng knew that his career as a Fishing Man was a long and arduous journey.

Luckily, he was just an apprentice who hadn’t even been practicing for a year, and there was still plenty of time before the two and a half year mark.

Lastly, there was the data panel for Golden Spearfish.

[Golden Spearfish (Level 2)]

[Current Experience: (3/20)]

[Experience Acquisition Conditions: Hunt Golden Spearfish over 50 jin to gain one point of experience; hunting Golden Spearfish under 50 jin will deduct one point of experience.]

[Scanning: Ability to check the weight of the Golden Spearfish]

[Usable Tools: Fishing Gear (can be spooled), Fish Gun]

[Breeding Growth (Level 2): Increases the breeding speed, growth speed, and survival ability of all slow-growing giant fish species within the host’s binding range by 20%. Also, 2% of migratory fish species will stay within the binding sea area and will not travel to other sea areas.]

[Binding Range: Hua Xia Sea (the sea area of the host’s home country, which will automatically change according to the host’s nationality)]

[Affected Fish: Economically valuable fish species that can grow to over 200 jin in weight]

[Attract Fish (Level 2): There is a 2% chance of attracting nearby Golden Spearfish to gather in the host’s current water area.]

[Deliciousness: +2% (Fish with higher fat content and better meat quality will be attracted first)]

[Size: +2% (Larger fish of the same species will be attracted preferentially)]

During this trip to Nansha, he had caught quite a few Dog Teeth Gold Spearfish, but the Golden Spearfish Atlas had one significant restriction.

If the weight of the Golden Spearfish caught was less than fifty jin, it would result in a deduction of experience points.

Thus, although the Golden Spearfish Data Panel was already at level two, after catching quite a few Dog Teeth Gold Spearfish, the experience had dropped from the original thirteen points to just three.

For Chu Mingcheng, there was little he could do about this, mainly because the ship’s bulwark was too high, which made it difficult to release the fish.

Furthermore, deliberately releasing them would make him stand out as an oddball in the eyes of others, and for just a few experience points, it was not worth being nonconformist.

He would just wait for his own big ship and release the small gold spearfish when he caught them in the future.

If Jiang Luoluo were the only one by his side, he believed she would understand.

The growth speed of the giant fish had increased by 20%, and while that may seem a lot, in reality, Golden Spearfish only grow to a hundred jin in ten years, so a 20% increase meant reducing the time to reach a hundred jin to eight years.

Given the pace of human fishing, this growth rate merely provided slight relief, delaying the implementation of protective laws for the fish.

Luckily, his large ship would be ready to launch later that year, allowing him to quickly increase the level of the Golden Spearfish Atlas and accelerate the breeding and growth of Golden Spearfish.

Time quickly reached midnight, and Chu Mingcheng used another Life Conversion to rejuvenate himself, fully energized and equipped, he set off.

Driving the car onto the street, he employed the tracking function to find a suitable spot for fishing.
