I Can Fish Up Everything!

Chapter 177: Chapter 129: Golden Legend (Part 2)

Large-spot Groupers... a good omen for wealth. As long as they were alive, they’d sell for a good price, no matter the size.

Besides, he could also farm Gold Coins from it!

Gu Nan decisively selected the Blue-bodied Large-spot Grouper and activated fishing mode.

[Ding! After activating fishing mode on an Elite BOSS, there will be no additional Gold Coin reward. Do you wish to proceed?]

"..." ’Of course,’ Gu Nan thought. ’The game would never allow such an obvious exploit.’

Gu Nan sighed and took out the golden Fengqi boat rod. He had a single tackle box for both of his rods, and he picked out a jigging lure.

He then grabbed the essential rod holder, mounted it on the gunwale, clamped the fishing rod in place, and started fishing.

He had three uses left on his sticker, so Gu Nan took it out as usual and applied it to his rod.

His bonus for large fish was now at 65%, and his rare fish bonus was at 40%.

Those were some impressive stats. He also had ten silver keys and one gold key, which he decided to use all at once.

He received: three rare fish bonuses, three large fish bonuses, one Gold Coin bonus, and three hundred-experience cards.

Hundred-Experience Card: Grants one hundred experience points upon use.

"..." ’Seriously? Cards like this?’ Gu Nan thought, feeling like they were completely useless. Speechless, he used all three.

He had just recently reached Level 13, so using the cards only filled a small sliver of his experience bar. He still needed over nine hundred more points to level up.

Still, his sticker uses had increased from three to six, which wasn’t bad.

He still had the golden key. After a moment’s thought, Gu Nan used it. It wasn’t like there was a pity system that guaranteed a grand prize after ten pulls.

A flash of golden light burst from the chest, and a golden card flew out—a Legendary Seafood Selection Card.

Legendary Seafood Selection Card: Freely select one type of unlocked seafood. Your next cast is a guaranteed catch, and its grade will be Legendary.

Seeing this card, Gu Nan’s eyes lit up.

His Indian Marlin and Blue-bodied Large-spot Grouper were both only King-Grade. With this card, he could definitely unlock a collection quest.

But Gu Nan was leaning toward the Elite BOSS, feeling it was the more difficult one to catch.

But he still had stickers left, and his rod was now gold-tier with better stats. He decided to save the card for now and see if he could catch a Legendary one on his own.

After reviewing all the new features, Gu Nan got back to fishing. He pressed the line release button on his electric reel, and the lure, weighted by the sinker, began to descend.

Once the line went slack, he reeled it in a few meters, then activated one of his guaranteed-catch charges and waited for a fish to take the bait.

A dozen seconds later, the tip of the rod trembled and bent downward. Fish on!

Gu Nan quickly reeled in the line, waiting for the creature from the depths to surface.

However, when he saw the creature that broke the surface, he gasped.

A giant Rose Dragon appeared, looking like a small tank. With its tail unfurled from under its abdomen, he suspected it was Meter Level.

’This is a true king of lobsters! Once I get this to the shop, people will be fighting over it, won’t they?’

Gu Nan quickly grabbed the large landing net beside him, scooped up the lobster, and hauled it aboard.

The moment he placed the lobster on the deck, it thrashed its tail violently, splashing water all over his face.

Gu Nan chuckled, wiping the water from his face. "If I wasn’t so strapped for cash," he cursed with a laugh, "believe me, I’d have you for dinner right now!"

His business might be doing great now, with a high income to match.

In reality, Gu Nan had two major upcoming expenses. The first was buying a new fishing boat.

A Class II fishing boat that he’d be using for a long time, maybe even a Class I.

That kind of boat would cost at least two or three million, with better ones starting at five million.

A luxury model would be impossible to get for less than ten million.

So while his business was booming, he had no idea how long it would take to afford a better boat. He’d need to save up for at least a year.

Besides, with a business pulling in several million a year, his tax bill wouldn’t be small.

When you earn less, the government helps you out with all sorts of tax exemptions and reductions.

But it’s a different story when you start earning a lot. That’s why so many high-earners try all sorts of ways to evade taxes.

The second major expense was a larger storefront. The rent and renovations alone would cost at least seven or eight hundred thousand.

The tanks in his current shop were a bit lackluster. Once he got a new storefront, he planned on installing several large glass tanks.

One dedicated to groupers, another for lobsters, and a third for crabs.

Several of the seafood species at Seven-Star Rock were from Australia, which meant it was highly probable that Australian Lobsters, Crystal Crabs, and Emperor Crabs would show up later. That made dedicated lobster and crab tanks a necessity.

He’d also set up a large-fish display, exclusively for showcasing his biggest catches.

How could an ordinary seafood shop ever dream so big? Only someone like Gu Nan, with the support of his system, could catch countless massive creatures and dare to plan on such a scale.

By then, there would be no shortage of hotels and restaurants wanting to partner with him, not to mention all the wealthy clients who would come calling. If he just kept fishing diligently, earning ten million a year might not be a dream.

SLURP~

Wiping away his drool, Gu Nan held down the exhausted lobster and used a hook remover to extract the hook from its mouth.

With his five remaining sticker uses, he caught two enormous mud crabs, two Tiger Stripes measuring over 1.2 meters, and a Meter Level Black-backed Fusilier.

Having so many ridiculously large fish and lobsters show up at his shop was bound to attract a lot of attention.

But all his paperwork was in order, so he wasn’t afraid of drawing attention or making others jealous.

Ji Jinxin’s complaint had been a false report. Trying to sue him for making a false accusation would be a hassle and might not even succeed.

But after that incident, if someone else were to report him under similar circumstances, the consequences would be much more severe than the first time.

With his stickers all used up, Gu Nan had gotten a good feel for his new electric rod. To save time, he returned to the cabin, started up the boat, and headed for Sanlian Reef.
