"Why is it getting slower?" Fang Er's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.
Lu Fei's head buzzed. *I don't know, Your Excellency!*
After thinking for a while and not knowing how to explain, he recounted the boatman's guess. "Your Excellency, it's probably because there are too many fish below."
Fang Er: "???" *Damn it, how long has it been? It hasn't even been half an hour since we cast the net, and you're telling me the boat can't move because there are too many fish? That's bullshit!*
But if it wasn't that, then no other reason could be found. As the saying goes, when you have eliminated all impossibilities, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Therefore, he ordered Lu Fei to haul in the net. Whether the boat had a problem or there were too many fish would be revealed once the net was retrieved.
"Your Excellency has ordered it, haul in the net!"
Upon hearing Lu Fei relay the command, the boatmen busied themselves. The winch switch was flipped, and the thick cables were slowly retracted. One meter, two meters, ten meters... As the dragnet was pulled up, the sea behind the stern began to churn, with countless small fish leaping out of the water. Seeing this, seabirds from afar flocked over, a dark mass descending to feast, turning the scene into their buffet.
By the time the dragnet surfaced, all the boatmen present were stunned! *Damn it, I've never seen so many fish in my life!* As the dragnet was lifted, countless fish fell out. It was too full, so full that the opening of the net couldn't even be closed!
Lu Fei, witnessing this, quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie to report the catch to Fang Er. "Your, Your Excellency, it's, it's full! The dragnet is full!"
Hearing his excited voice, Fang Er was also thrilled. *Indeed, the harvest from pioneering is always immense!* He yanked the ship's wheel, and the yacht turned. When it reached the stern of the dragnet boat 05, even with his preparation, he was still shocked by what he saw. The net was filled with all sorts of fish: red, white, yellow, black! Some were squeezed out of shape due to the sheer number of fish in the net, their bellies bursting, their internal organs spilling out. Drops of blood gathered along the fishing net and dripped into the sea.
"Holy shit! So many fish!" Chai Lingwu, following behind Fang Er, almost popped his eyeballs out in surprise at the sight of so many fish. "A harvest, a great harvest! With so many fish, how many people can be fed! Your Excellency indeed has foresight in using such a large ship for fishing!" "Quick! Pinch me, this is unreal, am I dreaming?" "As you wish!" "Ahhh! Damn it, I told you to pinch my arm, why are you pinching my chest?" "Hahahaha, is it real?" "It's real, more real than gold!" "Wuwuwu~~~~ So many! If there were this many fish ten years ago, my old mother wouldn't have starved to death!"
As he spoke, someone suddenly looked at the fish in the net and began to cry. "Wuwuwu!!" "Wuu~~" Sadness was contagious. With the first one starting, the stern of the dragnet fishing boat quickly turned into a meeting of remembrance of hardship, thinking of loved ones lost due to famine and war, each crying more miserably than the last. Fang Er listened to this funeral-like BGM...

Fang Er surprisingly saw that long-lost poop-yellow button. *When did this get made? Why didn't anyone inform me?*
The currently displayed items were medicines. He couldn't be bothered to look closely. After redeeming them, he pressed that long-lost poop-yellow button. With a "bling bling" flash of golden light, Fang Er looked at the items and wanted to curse. *I wanted a ship! A big ship! And you've given me a bunch of dolls? And one of them can be unlocked, it's a Fluke Bear. This is so mocking~~*
Poop-yellow button, second refresh.
*Damn it!*
*Damn, damn, damn, damn!*
Looking at the items before him, Fang Er jumped up excitedly, doing a carp flip, and then unfortunately hit his head on the cabin ceiling. "Duang~~~"
