Chapter 33: Can the Sea Be Rushed Like This?

At a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, the pomfret fish could initially evade Du Yu, but ultimately, it was caught and placed into the bucket.

After a thorough netting, the fish had naturally grown much larger.

“Detected: Host has gained the pomfret fish luck value reward +100, skill point reward +1.”

Du Yu was pleasantly surprised. He hadn’t expected to receive both luck value and skill points upon leveling up.

Suddenly, Du Yu realized something. This spot was right between the edge of the East Sea and the beach, so there must be plenty of marine fish here. With his wearable surface suspension device, catching fish on the water’s surface was almost like cheating.

With that thought, Du Yu stood up again, picked up the bucket and the net, and began a brand-new sea-harvesting adventure.

Wang Xiaowei, who had been crouching, instantly straightened up.

Sea-harvesting could be done like this?

Now, Du Yu was truly “harvesting the sea.”

“Detected host has obtained…”

“Detected…”

…

Du Yu moved across the water as if walking on solid ground, while the fish became like “land ducks,” unable to swim faster than him.

He swiftly darted back and forth, casting his net repeatedly into the sea, occasionally scooping up one or two large fish and placing them into the bucket.

After some time, Du Yu had earned over 1,000 luck points and gained 3 skill points.

By now, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the numerous system notifications, Du Yu realized that the nets he had sent out were still steadily working.

No, actually, it was the villagers and fishermen who were continuing the steady effort.

He opened the system interface.

[Host: Du Yu]

[Luck Value: 1840]

Du Yu was scrolling through the system screen, clicking on the Luck Value Shop.

To his surprise, a new section had appeared.

“Detected host approaching East Sea area; Luck Value Shop has updated with East Sea exclusive section.”

After reviewing the items in the [Luck Value Shop · East Sea], Du Yu felt that his 1800-plus luck value was seriously insufficient.

He had to admit, he was very tempted by the [Small Submarine]. With it, he might venture into much deeper waters to fish, where the catch would truly be deep-sea fish!

But the key question was: where did the hell did that 10,000 luck value come from?

Du Yu counted four times, confirming the four zeros, then silently closed the [Small Submarine] description.

Alright, I’m a poor guy—I can’t afford it.

He stopped looking at it and decisively purchased a set of [Universal Diving Suit] and a [Electronic Map (East Sea)].

The map was kept for backup.

“Ding, detected host has equipped [Wearable Surface Suspension Device], automatic combination initiated.”

“Combination complete.”

“[Wearable Underwater Swimming Device] is now ready.”

Du Yu was ready to go.

So, while Wang Xiaowei was still searching for where more fish could be found, Du Yu dove headfirst into the sea, bucket in his left hand and net in his right.

Du Yu was redefining “sea harvesting.”

It turned out that you could even harvest the sea underwater.

Wang Xiaowei turned his head and initially saw nothing but emptiness, unable to react.

Then, realizing the 360-degree emptiness around him, he began to wonder one thing:

Where was Brother Yu?

His heart sank halfway again.

Had he been snatched by a shark?

Meanwhile, Du Yu, wearing the [Wearable Underwater Swimming Device], sped through the water dozens of meters deep, giving off the impression of an underwater torpedo.

Naturally, Wang Xiaowei noticed this “torpedo” swimming back and forth.

His imagination ran wild; thinking it was a shark, he collapsed onto the ground in fear and dared not look toward the sea surface again.

At this moment, Du Yu, using his net, was catching rounds of fish in the deeper sea. Seeing his luck value increase by over 400, he was greatly encouraged.

Soon enough, the first bucket was full, and Du Yu quickly surfaced.

Wang Xiaowei, on the fishing boat, estimated that the sharks and other dangers had likely left by then, so he cautiously looked toward the sea…

A dark shape was rapidly swimming upward from beneath the surface. Before Wang Xiaowei could react, it burst out of the water.

“Holy…”

Wang Xiaowei’s small heart instantly turned cold. He thought it was a shark breaching the surface, his whole body went weak, and he covered his eyes, too scared to look.

“What are you doing, Xiaowei? Come help me put these fish into the boat’s water tank, and grab me another empty bucket!”

Watching Wang Xiaowei cover his eyes, Du Yu felt both amused and exasperated. His buddy was just a bit too naive—if only he had some bread and lettuce, he’d be perfect.

In short, a lovable goof.

“Yu… Brother Yu? Is that you? Where did you get those clothes?” Wang Xiaowei asked in disbelief.

Du Yu chuckled, giving a vague answer.

Wang Xiaowei didn’t press further and obediently did as Du Yu said. Then, Du Yu grabbed a bucket.

After a short rest, Du Yu dove once again into the sea, under the watchful, wide-eyed gaze of Wang Xiaowei.

Du Yu had to keep earning luck value to offer tribute to the tuna… or rather, to feed the bait!
