Chapter 177: Bigeye Tuna

“Great, that’s great . Don’t worry, I will definitely satisfy you!” Duan Ke stood up excitedly .

Chu Xian laughed and nodded . “We can talk about the details in Hai Qing City!”

“Yes, yes . ” Duan Ke nodded .

After talking some more with Gu Li and Duan Ke, Chu Xian said goodbye to Ma Zhigang and returned to the Mermaid .

As the cruise ship sailed away, Chu Xian stood on the deck of his ship and pointed forward . “Onwards!”

He had already been out to sea for two and a half days but had only gathered a single new merman . This wasn’t particularly efficient, so as they sailed forward, Chu Xian used his sonar detection and carefully examined his surroundings .

They were already at the high seas, and the fish were far more abundant here than closer to the coastline . The water was a hundred meters deep and rich with resources .

Dozens of varieties of fish appeared in his mind, and half an hour later, he detected an exciting school of large fish .

“Two thousand meters, forward port,” Chu Xian immediately stood up and called out to Old Mu .

“Yes, Boss!” Old Mu nodded, immediately changed the route and moved in the leftward direction .

“Another thousand meters, straight . ” Chu Xian checked the path of the school of fish and called out again .

“Yes!” Old Mu immediately nodded .

Very quickly, the fishing ship maneuvered to the position Chu Xian indicated, and he could look down into the water and see more than thirty large fish . He was very happy .

“These look like bigeye tunas!”

The bigeye tuna was a sleek formed, streamlined fish with split tails . The big fat big-eyed tunas were very large, stout, and the anterior part of their bodies was cylinder-shaped . The tails were short, and on each side rose a rather large crest, with two smaller protuberances below the tail . Their heads were large and round, with a short nose .

Because they had big eyes, they were called bigeye tunas .

Bigeye tunas were only slightly less expensive compared to bluefin tunas and southern bluefin tunas, and the current market price was already 300 RMB per catty . This was quite an expensive fish .

Tunas were quite rare in China and were more widespread in Japan . These tunas were also very popular in the Japanese market, where they were often sold to make sashimi .

“Wait for me here . ” As the fishing ship approached the bigeye tunas within a hundred-meter radius, Chu Xian called out to his mermen before jumping into the sea .

The bigeye tunas could swim at a hundred kilometers an hour, twice Chu Xian’s max speed, and the tunas also were constantly moving; even though they didn’t always swim at their limit, they could still hit a good thirty or forty kilometers .

Chu Xian didn’t turn into a fish . In his fish state, he too easily caused nearby fish to be cautious .

With all his strength, Chu Xian checked the school’s route and swam over .

This was how Chu Xian planned to catch them . At this time, he still swam slower than most fish he was interested in, but he had the benefit of his area vision and could predict the route a school of fish would take and cut them off .

After Chu Xian swam about fifty or so meters, the thirty-plus bigeye tunas swam over, approaching him on the right .

“Heehee! This method was very reliable after all . ” Chu Xian laughed . The bigeye tunas were quickly approaching, and Chu Xian immediately turned into a fierce sea monster .

“Rule!” The thirty bigeye tunas immediately came under his control .

“Don’t even think of escaping . ” Chu Xian smirked and quickly swam the rest of the distance .

“Eh? Not good . I can’t control two of the tunas!” Chu Xian was shocked . There were two 2 . 5 meter long bigeye tunas he couldn’t rule .

“Whoosh!” One of the bigeye tunas darted away and escaped .

Chu Xian was stunned and immediately controlled the other tunas to box in the remaining rogue .

Bigeye Tuna: Energy 2300

Gift: None

“No wonder I can’t control this over two-meter-long bigeye tuna! Their energy level is higher than mine,” Chu Xian thought to himself .

After the system transformed into energy-based evaluations, it became more difficult to guess the relative level of a fish . The size of the fish no longer indicated its energy level, and these two-meter tuna had more energy than a five-meter oarfish . Chu Xian guessed that the nutritional value of a certain fish probably affected their energy level quite a bit .

The more nutritious a fish was, the higher its energy would be . Obviously, the world-famous expensive tuna had a high energy level .

“I actually let one escape!” Chu Xian was somewhat frustrated . He has just lost more than ten thousand RMB .

But as he turned back to examine the rest of the bigeye tunas, Chu Xian very quickly recovered his good mood . The thirty-plus tunas were at least three thousand catties which made out to six or seven hundred thousand RMB .

“The ocean is a place where you can get rich overnight!” Chu Xian laughed, binding the tuna he couldn’t control and swimming back to the Mermaid .

He led the school of bigeye tuna back to the ship . Chu Xian swam up alongside the Mermaid and tossed the big guy he was binding up onto the ship .

“Their energy level is too high; I can’t remold them!” Chu Xian frowned .

Chu Xian turned to the other tunas swimming alongside the ship . They were all around two meters long, each two hundred catties or so . He would have no problems remolding them .

“Two hundred catties to remold, and after molding, they’ll weigh about 160 catties . That’s not bad, but compared to the swordfish and sailfish, there’s still a huge difference . I’ll wait two days before deciding!” After capturing thirty fish he could remold, Chu Xian suddenly hesitated .

At the moment, he could only control six more remolded fish, and he thought he should use these remaining slots to remold more aggressive species .

Of course, if in the following days he didn’t find any other fish, he would remold the tunas .

“I’ll just have them swim and follow the ship for the time being!” Ruling the tuna, Chu Xian had them follow the fishing ship and swim in an eighty-meter diameter area around it .

“Onward!” Sword One and the others killed the largest bigeye tuna and put it into the storage cabin . Chu Xian called out his command to Old Mu .

“Boss, we’re approaching the Japanese sea . Should we keep going forward?” Old Mu called out in response .

“If we’re almost at the Japanese sea, then the Korean sea shouldn’t be too far from here,” Chu Xian thought to himself .

Entering a foreign nation’s sea domain without preparations was no small matter, and if you were discovered by their navy…

“Let’s turn aport . The fish resources are quite abundant along the boundary between the seas . Let’s turn aport!” Chu Xian replied .

“Okay boss . If we keep going left, we’ll reach international seas in two or three hours,” Old Mu called back in reply .

“En, let’s go!” Chu Xian nodded .

Fishing was allowed in public seas, and fishermen from any country could fish in international waters .

There were many fishing ships that came to fish in the open waters near China, and companies and fishermen from China, Japan, and Korea gathered there .

In order to fish in the public seas, you needed a large fishing ship at the very least . Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to compete with the other ships .

But in these shared waters, Chu Xian wasn’t too worried .
