306: Amazing bionic fish

"Calm Brother?"

However, just as Yang Qi secured the net opening and prepared to surface, he felt that the fish's weight far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought it weighed six or seven catties, but when he held it, it was at least twenty catties.

"It's so heavy, what the heck!"

This made Yang Qi consider a possibility, but he would have to confirm it after getting on the boat.

So, he immediately climbed onto the fishing boat, and an even more bizarre thing happened.

As soon as the Green Grouper left the water, it lay motionless on the deck, like an ornament.

To verify his suspicion, Yang Qi shouted loudly toward the Flybridge:

"Xiao Xue, come down quickly."

"What's wrong, Honey!"

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan answered while quickly running down the stairs.

"Is it a Green Grouper? No, that doesn't seem right!"

"Oh, what is this? What a realistic toy!"

Bai Xue saw a Green Grouper lying motionless on the deck. Feeling strange, she went up and poked it. Its texture was bouncy and identical to a real fish.

"Could it be!..."

The next second, Bai Xue's eyes widened. As if realizing something, she turned to look at Yang Qi.

The two of them said in unison:

"espionage fish!"

"What espionage fish? What does that mean?"

Yao Shanshan, who was squatting nearby observing the Green Grouper, looked up at them and asked curiously.

Yang Qi, who was only wearing swimming trunks, felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Yao Shanshan, so he turned around to change his clothes.

"I didn't realize your man had abs, hehehe."

Seeing Yang Qi walk away, Yao Shanshan teased Bai Xue.

"Exactly! He's very vigorous, hehehe."

"Psh, what are you showing off? I'm not jealous. Speaking of which, how vigorous is he? Tell me about it, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Oh, cut it out! If you really want to know, go find a boyfriend and try it yourself!"

Bai Xue wore an expression that clearly said, "I won't tell you."

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend! Earning my own money and spending it myself is great!"

Yao Shanshan shook her head and said.

"Right, what did you mean by espionage fish?"

"Oh, the espionage fish is..."

Bai Xue explained the situation from the last time she and Yang Qi went fishing at sea and caught an espionage fish.

"So it's espionage equipment deployed by foreign countries in our waters! And there are rewards! That's really great, let's look around and see if we can catch a few more."

Yao Shanshan said excitedly after hearing this.

"How could we be so lucky to run into these 'Wealth-Bringing Boys' often!"

Bai Xue gave Yao Shanshan a huge eye-roll.

Just then, Yang Qi walked back.

"Let me show you something even more amazing, come on."

Yang Qi put the "Bionic Fish" back into the net bag and placed it in the water. Unexpectedly, as soon as it hit the water, it started shaking its head and tail. Just a few seconds after being pulled out of the water, it became motionless again.

"Wow, that's incredible!"

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan were instantly astonished.

"Xiao Xue, I'll call Brother Long to report this."

"Okay, Brother Long takes such good care of us, we should definitely save the credit for him."

Bai Xue nodded and said.

"Hello, Yang Qi, didn't you go out to sea? Why are you calling me?"

Zhang Long's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Brother Long, I just caught a fish and wanted to report it to you!"

"Why would you report just one fish to me? Just save some nice catches when you get back, and we'll come over to your house and eat them."

Zhang Long seemed to be in a good mood today and joked with Yang Qi.

"No problem, when I get back, I'll prepare a feast of fine goods. You must come then!"

"Great, if there's good food, how can I not go? I'll wait for your call! I'm hanging up now!"

Zhang Long finished speaking and was about to hang up.

"Wait, wait! Brother Long, don't be in a hurry to hang up, I have something I need to talk to you about!"

"What is it? Tell me."

Yang Qi organized his thoughts and said:

"Brother Long, here's the thing..."

"What? You caught an espionage fish again? Good, good, you've earned another merit."

Zhang Long was overjoyed upon hearing this:

"Send me your location immediately. I'll arrange for someone to pick it up. Based on your description, it sounds more advanced than the last one."

"Understood, Brother Long, I'll wait right here for your people to arrive."

Yang Qi said to Zhang Long.

After hanging up the phone, the three continued fishing in the same spot. This time, Bai Xue had better luck. Besides some other Grouper, she also caught a Mouse Grouper weighing around six catties.

About two hours later, a speedboat sped toward their fishing boat.

It must have been a law enforcement vessel patrolling nearby, coming to retrieve the item after receiving notification from the shore.

Several people in uniform quickly boarded the boat and conducted a preliminary inspection of the "espionage fish."

"This technology is more advanced than what we've previously found. You've earned a great merit."

One of the law enforcement officers gave Yang Qi and the others a thumbs up.

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan were flushed with excitement, and Yang Qi also smiled.

While waiting for the handover, the people on the speedboat chatted with them, sharing some amusing stories about previously seized espionage equipment.

They also affirmed the significant contributions of the group.

After the handover was complete, the speedboat gradually sped away. Yang Qi watched the departing speedboat and said:

"This is a pleasant surprise. Last time the bonus was 200,000 yuan; this time it should be more. Let's keep fishing!"

Thus, the three of them composed themselves and returned to fishing.

The sunlight sprinkled on the sea, sparkling brightly. They enjoyed the sea breeze while looking forward to their next catch, hoping they might run into another "Wealth-Bringing Boy."

"Yang Qi, what's going on over there? Why did a law enforcement vessel board your boat?"

Inside the Cockpit, Yang Qi and Zhang Jun were talking.

"Nothing much, I just caught an espionage fish and called Brother Long. He arranged for people to come and retrieve it."

"Oh! An espionage fish. What does it look like?"

"It's a fake fish, made to look exactly like a real one. I'm not allowed to say the specifics."

Yang Qi explained.

"Oh, I see. I'm going fishing now. If I catch an espionage fish too, I'll gain some prestige!"

Zhang Jun finished speaking, hung up the call, and rushed off to fish.

Before long, Bai Xue came over to call them for dinner. The authentic flavor of sashimi, the aroma of pan-fried fish, the freshness of steamed Grouper, and the natural taste of various seafood filled the air, making them all drool.

As night fell, darkness swallowed the light. The two fishing boats were brightly lit, attracting many Pencil Squid.

Bai Xue took Yao Shanshan to start fishing for small Squid. The two of them took out two thin rods and attached Squid hooks.

As long as there were enough Squid nearby, these creatures would act like fools, rushing to bite and wrap around the glowing Squid hooks. The speed at which they caught fish was faster than stocking inventory.
