Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

"Xiaoyunzi! Quick! Let’s take a picture together!" Qi Fei came jogging over, linking her arm with Wu Yun’s and pointing to the top deck.

Wang Gang and the other three understood and backed away to the sides of the ship, giving the two of them plenty of space.

After taking the picture, Qi Fei turned to Wang Gang’s group, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, guys! I’ll let you get back to your chat!"

With that, Qi Fei jogged off toward the stern.

Watching her back as she ran off in her windbreaker, Wang Gang had an envious look on his face. "Young Master Wu! Are there any other girls as pretty as Qi Fei?"

Wu Yun laughed. "Sure! When Qi Fei and I get together and have a daughter!"

Cao Junlong burst out laughing. "Young Master Wu! That’s a low blow! Brother Gang wants to be your brother, and you’re trying to be his dad!"

Wu Yun was taken aback. He hadn’t realized the other meaning and couldn’t help but laugh. "I just meant I’ve never seen another girl like Qi Fei! Cao Mengde! You try to stir up trouble and I’ll feed you to the sharks later!"

The sun gradually rose, and the sky brightened, a brilliant azure that mirrored the now-blue sea.

The yacht slowly decelerated until it came to a stop.

Just then, the captain, Liao Bin, emerged from the cockpit and announced loudly, "Passengers! We are now in the coastal waters. Anyone who enjoys fishing can come to me to get their gear!"

Hearing the captain’s call, Wu Yun and the others all walked over.

Liao Bin first handed out a stack of life jackets, had the men gathered around him put them on, and only then began distributing the fishing rods.

Wu Yun held a fishing rod that was a bit thicker than one for freshwater fishing. Looking at the reel, he knew this rod could handle big fish.

Wu Yun directly bought the expert sea fishing Skill from the System.

In an instant, Wu Yun felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the fishing rod in his hand.

At that moment, two sailors began handing out small buckets.

Wu Yun took one and saw it was half-full of small, lively, squirming fish.

Seeing the confused expressions on Wang Gang and the others, Wu Yun explained, "This is bait! When you’re hooking them, try not to damage their internal organs. You need to keep them alive and active. That’s how you’ll attract the big fish!"

"Alright! Everyone find a spot! We’ll take the aft deck. There’s room for three chairs there. We can’t have too many people, or it’ll interfere with everyone else."

Wu Yun made the assignments: he, Wang Gang, and Li Dongliang would take the lower aft deck, while the others would find spots along the ship’s sides.

Choosing a deck chair on the right, Wu Yun placed the bucket by his feet, skillfully plucked a small fish from it, and ran the hook through its upper abdomen.

Wu Yun adjusted the position of the sinker, then with a gentle cast, sent the small fish and hook sailing into the sea nearby.

Watching Wu Yun’s practiced motions, a fumbling Wang Gang finally managed to hook his own bait and slowly let out his line.

"Young Master Wu, I thought we agreed to be newbies together! Look how skilled you are. You’re clearly an old pro at this!" Wang Gang remarked with some emotion.

Wu Yun held the rod in his right hand, tucked the grip under his arm, and reclined on the deck chair with a smile. "Brother Gang, sea fishing is much easier than river fishing! You generally won’t get skunked out here!"

After speaking, Wu Yun lay back comfortably, waiting for a bite.

Fishing is an activity that tests a person’s patience, but the thrill of a fish on the line is an indescribable joy that only those who have fished can understand.

Today, Lady Luck did not smile upon Wu Yun. Instead, it was Wang Gang next to him whose expression shifted, his hands gripping his fishing rod in surprise.

The moment he tightened his grip, the rod, which had only been slightly bent, suddenly arched dramatically.

Wang Gang felt a force pulling away from him along the rod. Thankfully, it wasn’t overwhelmingly strong. His physical fitness made it easy for him to hold the rod steady and begin the struggle with the fish underwater.

"HOLY SHIT! This thing is pretty big!" Wang Gang leaned back, clamping down on the rod, practically lying flat on his chair.

Seeing Wang Gang using brute force against the fish, Wu Yun advised, "Brother Gang, don’t just use brute force! Conserve your energy! Pull, then give it some slack while reeling in the line. Like this!"

As he spoke, Wu Yun performed a few demonstration moves.

Just as Wu Yun finished, his expert sea fishing Skill allowed him to easily feel the twitch on his own rod.

Wu Yun knew instantly that a fish was on the hook, but he didn’t rush to reel it in, waiting patiently for the fish to take a firm bite.

The pull on the rod suddenly intensified. Wu Yun tested the strength of the hooked fish for a moment and immediately knew its size—a fish of ten to twenty pounds, though he didn’t know the species.

He instantly relaxed, no longer worried that the line would snap from the struggle.

Just as Wu Yun was reeling in his line, Wang Gang’s voice came from the side, "HOLY SHIT! This fish is fucking huge!"

Wu Yun turned to look. A silver mackerel had breached the surface and was now floating weakly as Wang Gang reeled it in.

"Brother Gang, I’d say your fish is about twenty pounds!" Wu Yun said, looking at the forty-to-fifty-centimeter-long mackerel. His hands, however, didn’t slow their reeling in the slightest.

A sailor who had heard Wang Gang’s shout had already prepared a landing net and quickly helped him scoop up the mackerel, which was much larger than any freshwater fish.

"Quick, quick! Help me take a picture!" Wang Gang handed his phone to another sailor.

Putting on a glove, Wang Gang himself grabbed the mackerel by the gills to lift it up. He held the fishing rod in his other hand and faced the camera with a triumphant smile.

SPLASH. Wang Gang’s mackerel was tossed into the large water tank prepared behind them.

By now, Wu Yun had also finished reeling in his line, and a slightly smaller mackerel than Wang Gang’s was brought onto the boat.

"Xiaoyunzi! You’re the best!" Qi Fei, who had been leaning over the railing of the top deck to watch the excitement, called out in a sweet voice.

Instantly, the other girls around her chimed in playfully, "Xiaoyunzi! You’re so amaaazing!~"

Hearing this, a crestfallen Wang Gang looked back up. "Hey, ladies! My fish is so much bigger than Young Master Wu’s! How come you’re not cheering for me? Sigh~ This is heartbreaking!"

"You’re the best too, Brother Gang!" someone shouted.

For a moment, the top deck erupted with giggles and laughter.

Before long, cries of successful catches came from all around.

It was as if they had stumbled into a whole school of mackerel. It wasn’t until they took a break and gathered the day’s catch that they realized the vast majority of the fish they’d caught were mackerel.

While the men were resting, the women, tired of chatting, eagerly took the rods to begin their own sea fishing adventure.

Wu Yun shot a look at Cao Junlong and the others, signaling for them to go help the girls.

Understanding, the men dispersed, each finding their own target.

Wu Yun, however, looked at the fish in the water tank and said to Liao Bin, who was holding a cup of tea, "Captain! Help us prepare the fish! We’ll have grilled fish for lunch today! By the way, what other ways can you prepare a fish feast like this?"

"President Wu, the seasonings on board are limited. We can only grill, pan-fry, or stir-fry them!"
