The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 38: Diving and Catching a Dragon's Gall with Bare Hands?

Tang Mingyuan threw the used wet wipes into the car's trash can.

"Boss, I doubt he can get this done."

"A giant gentian weighing two hundred catties is nowhere to be found near the coast."

"Even if he runs into deep water, he can't get out with his 12-meter secondhand wrecked boat."

"Deep-sea fish of that size have incredible pulling power. His boat doesn't have a heavy winch or enough counterweight; forcing it will only capsize the boat."

"He doesn't even have the basic hardware. That doesn't make sense."

There was a chuckle on the other end of the phone.

"It's better if it doesn't work out."

"If he admits his mistake, takes the 50,000 yuan, and honestly becomes a low-level supplier, Yunhai Pavilion doesn't need troublemakers."

"He actually got it."

"Then the channels behind him are worth investing heavily in."

"This means he has resources we can't see through. I'll inspect the goods tomorrow night."

The phone hangs up.

The Lin family courtyard in Huangni Village.

Lin Chen flipped directly to the special equipment section.

Deep-sea carbon fiber longline fishing rig.

The price is 50 points.

The details mention that carbon fiber braided main thread is used.

The line has high tensile strength and comes with a titanium alloy barbed hook.

This thing is designed specifically for deep-sea fish weighing hundreds of kilograms.

The wire is wear-resistant and prevents breakage.

exchange.

50 points will be deducted.

A black spool, as thick as a wrist, appeared out of thin air on the table.

Titanium alloy fishhooks were scattered around.

Having wires alone is not enough.

The fish still has the strength.

Nerve anesthesia decoy.

The price is 30 points.

The system description states that the biotin was extracted from deep-sea biotin.

The nerve conduction of fish is blocked within three minutes after swallowing the food.

The muscles will then lose their ability to exert force.

It is harmless to the human body.

exchange.

The hydrological conditions at Devil's Reef are very complex.

A 200-pound fish hiding in a deep reef cave is unlikely to obediently come out to bite the hook.

If the bait goes astray or the fishing line gets stuck on the reef, the whole plan will be ruined.

Someone has to go down and deliver the bait to the cave entrance.

Lin Chen glanced at the nautical chart.

The target water depth is approximately 65 meters.

When an average person free-dives to this depth, their lungs will be significantly compressed due to water pressure.

He slid to the skills zone.

Specializing in deep-sea diving pressure resistance.

Priced at 30 points.

exchange.

Lin Chen moved his neck and felt a change in the density of the muscle fibers.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Lin Chen pushed open the door.

Lin Jianguo sat on a low stool.

"I'm really going."

Lin Chen took out one and handed it over.

"go."

"We have to take control of the Yunhai Pavilion line. If we don't, none of us will have anything to eat once Zhang Tiejun recovers."

Lin Jianguo took a drag.

"The currents at Devil's Reef are very turbulent. There are many hidden currents underneath."

"The older generation says that there's a sea eye down there. If a ship goes by carelessly, it will be swallowed up."

"We hook at the edge."

Lin Chen picked up the waterproof bag.

"If things don't look good, cut the line and leave. The boat and the people are more important."

The father and son walked out of the alley one after the other.

The sea was quite rough.

A dense cluster of green dots appeared on the radar screen.

"There's a rocky beach ahead, let's go around it."

After sailing for two hours, the color of the seawater changed.

The murky yellowish-green color near the coast turned into a dark blue.

The waves also became irregular.

"arrive."

Lin Jianguo reduced the throttle and slowed the boat down.

"The Devil's Reef lies ahead."

Lin Chen peered down.

The water surface was covered with various whirlpools.

The seawater collided with each other here, producing a dull thud.

Several black rocks protrude from the water.

"anchor."

Lin Chen shouted.

Lin Jianguo pressed the winch switch.

The boat rocked slightly and came to a stop at the edge of the reef area.

Lin Chen opened the system panel.

The red dot on the map is right below.

The depth is displayed as 65 meters.

He opened the waterproof bag and took out the roll of carbon fiber rope.

The end of the line was secured to the winch reel on the ship's side with a knot.

Then he took out a glass bottle containing a dark blue liquid.

"What is this?"

Lin Jianguo looked at the bottle.

"Special bait."

After Lin Chen uncorked the bottle, a pungent, fishy smell wafted out.

He scooped an octopus out of the live water tank and smeared the dark blue liquid evenly over it.

The octopus tentacles struggled for a few moments before slowly coming to a stop.

Lin Chen threaded the titanium alloy fishhook through the octopus's body and tied it tightly.

"Dad, keep an eye on the winch."

"I'm going down."

Lin Jianguo grabbed his arm.

"Over sixty meters. Are you out of your mind?"

"We didn't bring any air tanks or wear heavy diving suits. Going down there would be suicide."

"I know what I'm doing."

Lin Chen pried his father's hands off.

"There's a lot of undercurrent here, and the fishing line is easy to snag on the bottom. I need to send the hook directly to the entrance of the hole."

Lin Jianguo stared straight at him.

"At most five minutes."

"If you don't come up in five minutes, I'll pull the line."

"OK."

Lin Chen put on his glasses and bit down on the breathing tube.

He began to dive, accompanied by splashing water.

The surrounding light gradually faded.

The water pressure began to surge when they reached the deep blue waters.

Lin Chen's body felt hot.

The stress resistance skill obtained through the system's exchange proved effective.

The bones and muscles withstood the external pressure.

Fifty meters away, the surrounding area became completely dark.

Turn on the underwater searchlight fixed to your forehead.

The beam of light pierced through the seawater and illuminated the area ahead.

An underwater cliff appeared before us.

There are many caves scattered on the cliff face.

The water flow here forms a downflow.

Lin Chen paddled hard to maintain his balance.

Continue diving down to a depth of 60 meters.

The red dot on the system panel is flashing.

Lin Chen groped his way down the cliff face.

The searchlight swept across a large, dark hole.

Lin Chen grabbed a protruding rock to steady himself.

He pulled the fishing line and sent the titanium alloy hook with the octopus attached to the hole.

The dark blue liquid dissolved in the water, emitting a faint glow.

Lin Chen held his breath and waited.

Three minutes had passed underwater.

The oxygen in the lungs is consumed very quickly.

He wiggled the fishing line, causing the octopus to bob up and down at the entrance of the hole.

A dark current surged forth from the depths of the cave.

A dark figure emerged from the beam of the searchlight.

It was a very large gentian grouper.

The fish's body is thicker than a gasoline drum and its scales are dark brown.

The weight of 215 jin indicates that the system has no errors.

Lin Chen remained motionless against the cliff face.

The grouper opened its mouth wide and sucked in water forcefully.

Seawater poured into its mouth.

The octopus with the hook was sucked in along with the bait and water.

The fish's gills open and close, spraying out streams of water.

Lin Chen pulled hard on the fishing line.

The titanium alloy fishhook pierced the grouper's upper jaw.

The pain drove the rock grouper to struggle wildly.

It swung its thick tail, stirring up a cloud of seabed mud and sand.

The immense tension was transmitted along the fishing line.

Lin Chen released his hands and kicked his feet on the cliff face.

It rises rapidly using the reaction force.

The fish's struggles will disrupt the current and pull him in.

The rock group began to retreat into the cave.

The carbon fiber fishing line was stretched very taut.

The wire made a tooth-grinding sound as it rubbed against the edge of the reef.

The depth rapidly increased from fifty meters to forty meters.

Lin Chen continued upstream.

The Pioneer is listing heavily on the sea.

The winch wheel rotated rapidly, producing a metallic friction sound.

The taut steel cable produced a vibrating sound.

Lin Jianguo pressed down hard on the winch brake handle.

The deck beneath my feet creaked under the weight.

"Start the network equipment.

The winch gears also meshed.

The boat was pulled down by the underwater forces.

The starboard side of the ship skimmed the water's surface.

Seawater flowed in through the drain hole.

Hang in there.

Lin Jianguo shouted out loud.

He pressed down on the control lever with both hands.

The underwater anesthetic decoy worked.

The grouper's struggles gradually decreased.

When nerve conduction is blocked, the muscles lose their explosive power.

The taut fishing line loosened a bit.

Lin Chen rushed out of the water, took off his mask, and gasped for breath.

"Dad. La."

Lin Jianguo pushed the winch to full speed.

The carbon fiber fishing line is slowly reeled in.

Large bubbles rose to the surface of the water.

Ten minutes later.

A dark brown shadow emerged from the water.

The giant grouper floated on the sea surface with its white belly turned up.

Its gill covers were still opening and closing slightly, but it couldn't move.

Lin Chen picked up the hook and hooked it onto the stag's jaw.

The father and son worked together to start the crane boom.

The winch rotated, lifting the more than 200-pound creature off the water.

Water droplets dripped down the fish scales.

The grouper hit the deck and the whole ship shook.

Lin Jianguo walked over and kicked the fish's body.

"Alive."

Lin Jianguo wiped his sweat.

Lin Chen looked at the spoils on the ground.

"The live water tank can't hold it all."

"Wrap it in a canvas. Then connect a hose and keep rinsing it."

Lin Jianguo nodded and went to get the canvas.

"Return to base."
