Chapter 221: A Bountiful Harvest
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Kai was startled and immediately prepared to rush to the foredeck.
But then he suddenly remembered something and quickly took out an action camera from the small cabinet by the door and hung it on the deck.
"Start recording!"
With a beep, the action camera on Xiao Kai's neck started working immediately.
After finishing, Xiao Kai rushed to the deck.
Upon arriving at the top, Xiao Kai was stunned by the sight before him. The vast sea in front of him was covered by a huge, densely packed black shadow, so numerous that it was impossible to count them all. It was an overwhelming and spectacular sight.
Under the spotlight, these shadowy figures faintly appeared a bluish-green color, and some even had a purple sheen.
They would occasionally leap out of the sea, soaring high into the air before gliding dozens of meters using their two outstretched, wing-like forefins, and then crashing back down.
Those splashing sounds were the sounds of them landing on the water.
After seeing those things clearly, Xiao Kai's mouth gaped open, and he was completely shocked.
"Damn, so many flying fish?"
Just as Xiao Kai was still in a state of shock, Tian Wenbin, who was standing next to him, was the first to wake up from his shock and quickly pulled Xiao Kai back to the cabin.
"Quick, get the net ready! This is a great opportunity to catch the fish!"
Upon hearing Tian Wenbin's words, Xiao Kai realized what was happening and quickly retrieved the net, his entire being in a state of excitement.
Although it was the first time he had encountered this kind of fish, as a seasoned angler, he had paid attention to information about it and knew that the opportunity to see this fish was fleeting, and fishing with a hook would obviously be too late.
However, if you use a landing net, you can catch even more fish by casting it in the instant they fly by.
Soon, Xiao Kai had finished preparing the net.
Tian Wenbin is the same.
Without saying a word, the two rushed onto the deck to start preparing to catch fish.
Just then, Xiao Kai thought of something and rushed to the control panel to press a few buttons.
This is him turning on the fish-attracting light.
As a proper fishing boat, how could it not be equipped with fish-attracting lights?
Fish that are attracted to light will be drawn to the fish-attracting lamp, and flying fish also love this kind of light.
With the help of the fish-attracting lights, the flying fish that pass by will surely gather here.
At this point, using a net will only have a positive effect.
Tian Wenbin, who was the first to rush out, saw the green fish-attracting lights that suddenly lit up around the boat and couldn't help but give Xiao Kai a thumbs up. He then immediately rushed to the side to wait for the fish to arrive.
In the blink of an eye, in less than a minute, the school of fish, hundreds of meters away, had already reached the vicinity of the fishing boat.
As soon as the fish-attracting lights were turned on, a group of flying fish indeed flew towards this direction.
Seeing this, the two who were already prepared quickly got ready to catch the fish.
whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
Puff puff puff puff~
In an instant, a swarm of fish rushed toward the fishing boat.
A large portion flew over the fishing boat, but a small portion landed on it.
Seeing this, they immediately stretched out their nets and scooped up the flying fish that were flying towards them without saying a word.
Of course, they still hid at the back of the cabin during this process to avoid being hit by the flying schools of fish.
Although many flying fish tried to avoid the fishing boat, thanks to the fish-attracting lights, quite a few fish still landed on the deck like moths to a flame, and some were caught by Xiao Kai and his team with a landing net.
Whenever they felt the net getting heavier, Xiao Kai and his team would put it down, wait for it to float in the air, and then extend it again to scoop it up.
The whole process seemed to take a long time, but it actually only took less than ten minutes before the fish all flew away.
During this time, Xiao Kai tried to use his cheat code to restrict the flying fish from staying there, but it didn't seem to work well. Many of the fish flew directly out of the light circle.
Even if it lands within the aperture, it will fly out during the next takeoff.
As most of the flying fish flew past, Xiao Kai could only see a handful of them remaining within the aperture.
So Xiao Kai simply turned off the aperture and stopped worrying about using it to keep the fish in place.
After more than ten minutes, the fish gradually drifted away.
Only then did the two of them finally stop what they were doing.
"Phew~"
Watching the fish swim away, Xiao Kai and his companion leaned against the deck and let out a long sigh of relief.
Don't underestimate those ten-odd minutes; they were exhausted.
To be honest, Xiao Kai never expected these fish to be so strong; the force with which they flew was beyond his imagination.
Xiao Kai was alright; he could catch five, six, seven, or eight fish each time. But Tian Wenbin could only catch three or four at most. If he caught more, he would have to put them down due to the momentum of the fish.
Fortunately, the harvest was quite large. Not to mention the flying fish that landed on the deck and then flew back into the water, Xiao Kai and his partner caught no less than a hundred pounds of them with their nets.
This could be described as people sitting on a boat while fish fall from the sky.
"Haha, tonight was a really fruitful night!"
Looking at the deck piled high with debris, the two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Meow meow meow...
Suddenly, a calico cat rushed out of the cabin. Its eyes lit up when it saw so many fish on the deck. It meowed and rushed over to a group of flying fish, opening its mouth to pounce.
Who else could it be but Little Bu?
Seeing that the little guy was about to ruin the flying fish, Xiao Kai quickly stepped forward, grabbed it by the back of the neck, and lifted it up.
With Xiao Kai controlling its destiny, the little guy was clearly very dissatisfied, meowing incessantly in gratitude and hurling very unpleasant insults.
Xiao Kai chuckled, patted its head, and said, "Look how anxious you are. Can you even finish eating this little cat? Don't waste it."
"Don't worry, I'll save some for you."
After Xiao Kai gave him a lecture, Xiao Bu clearly realized his mistake and stopped wasting the flying fish after Xiao Kai put it down.
Only then did Xiao Kai nod in satisfaction.
After some thought, Xiao Kai picked out the two flying fish that the little guy had bitten with his teeth earlier.
"Here you go, don't call me that again."
Seeing the little guy looking at him expectantly, Xiao Kai smiled and tossed two fish to it.
"Meow..."
The little guy's eyes lit up again, and he rushed over to start eating heartily.
"Heh, it won't eat cat food, so why would it eat seafood?"
Seeing the little guy's eager look, Xiao Kai smiled again.
"Brother Xiao, you're really good to your cat. It's good that it's following the right person. These two flying fish are worth at least a hundred yuan. You could buy a whole bag of cat food with that money, but you just gave them to it. You're really generous."
Tian Wenbin couldn't help but laugh when he saw the interaction between the man and the cat.
Hearing this, Xiao Kai smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's just two fish. Let it eat if it likes. I can't guarantee anything else, but do you think a fisherman like me would go hungry?"
"Haha, that's true."
Tian Wenbin nodded in agreement.
