171: Master fishing skills

Fishing, on the other hand, provides real income. Aside from a little fuel cost each day, the fish caught are almost entirely zero-cost.

Moreover, the fishing season might open soon, allowing for fishing using methods like trawling, which will significantly boost profits.

Therefore, choosing to upgrade his advanced fishing technique holds significant importance for his future plans. As for the others, they can wait for now; after all, there's still plenty of time, so let's focus on what's in front of us.

Having made up his mind, Chen Xiangbei consumed an advanced skill upgrade card, raising his advanced fishing technique to Master-level Fishing Technique.

Suddenly, a surge of knowledge about sea fishing, marine harvesting, and other related topics seemed to appear out of thin air, abruptly surfacing in Chen Xiangbei's mind, feeling as familiar as if he had experienced it himself.

He felt as if he could see himself harvesting at sea, feeling the caress of the sea breeze and the surge of the waves.

He clearly remembered how to operate a boat, how to find traces of fish schools, and how to skillfully use harvesting tools.

Every operation felt so natural, and he could even recall the satisfaction and pride when harvesting large quantities of seafood.

This sense of familiarity left him astonished, as if this knowledge had always existed in his subconscious, just waiting to be awakened.

At this moment, he was full of confidence and passion for marine harvesting, eager to practice and explore.

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei had become a talented individual with abundant deep-sea harvesting techniques.

Whether it was large nets, small samples, shrimp or crab traps, or even squid can harvesting, he could handle it with ease.

After the System finished settling, Chen Xiangbei closed his computer. He wouldn't review resumes for now; he'd do it after waking up tomorrow morning. Staring at the screen for so long was too much for his eyes.

Returning to the living room, he suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the smell of his bed today. So, he turned off the living room lights, turned on the fish tank's night view mode, and then went back to his room and closed the door.

Lying on the two-meter-wide bed, he fully stretched every part of his body.

He found that although sleeping on the sofa was comfortable, the sofa's space was ultimately smaller, not as large as the bed, where he could do whatever he pleased and act unrestrainedly.

Just like that, he lay sprawled out on the bed, without even covering himself with a blanket, and fell asleep shortly after.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiangbei woke up promptly at 6 o'clock, not a minute more, not a second less.

Chen Xiangbei mused internally: As expected, the beast-eared girl is indeed related to those Starlight Fish. Otherwise, it couldn't be such a coincidence that he didn't dream after returning to sleep on his bed last night and could still wake up on time this morning.

Everything was normal today. He didn't need to rush to the bathroom to shower and change clothes; he just normally opened his phone to play soothing music, listening while brushing his teeth and washing his face.

He felt like it had been a long time since he'd done this. Indeed, beast-eared girls are femme fatales!

After washing up, Chen Xiangbei went to the living room to feed the fish. He noticed that the Starlight Fish seemed to have grown much larger, and they were also becoming increasingly close to him.

He remembered that at first, they weren't very willing to interact with him. But now, as soon as they saw him, they would quickly swim towards him, as if greeting him.

He often thought: If only I knew beast language, then I could communicate with them, including those few Sea Lizi in the ocean and that "Little Sea Teng".

After feeding the fish, Chen Xiangbei ordered a few breakfast deliveries. It had been a while since he ordered takeout. He needed to continue reviewing resumes today, so ordering takeout was more convenient.

After ordering some steamed buns, rice rolls, and other pastries for breakfast, he went to the gaming room, opened his computer, and continued reviewing the resumes from last night.

Upon opening his email, he found that another two or three hundred resumes had arrived today! There was no way around it; he had to bite the bullet and finish reading them.

He continued like this until almost noon, finally finishing reviewing the more than a thousand resumes!

He also ate breakfast while reviewing. He had ordered a bit too much breakfast and accidentally ate until he was stuffed. He sat in the living room for a while, scrolling through videos on his phone to aid digestion.

After reviewing through the night and morning, Chen Xiangbei selected 5 candidates with relatively impressive resumes from the more than two thousand emails.

They were three agents and two assistants. The three agents were one male and two females, while the two assistants were both female.

Chen Xiangbei first replied to them via email with the online interview results, then separately added their contact information, asking them to fly to Linhai City tomorrow for the next round of interviews. Of course, he would cover all expenses.

The five applicants who received the email replies were all very excited. Successfully passing the initial interview meant they were halfway there, and their anxious feelings finally calmed down significantly.

They all actively replied to Chen Xiangbei's messages, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

After finishing with the hiring matters, Chen Xiangbei changed his clothes and went out.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Lunch is the most important meal of the day, while breakfast and dinner are always vying for the least necessary spot.

Lunch must be eaten well and heartily, so Chen Xiangbei found a top-tier luxury seafood buffet restaurant and indulged in a lavish feast of premium seafood.

He drove to the Exhibition Center, which housed Linhai City's most famous and luxurious seafood buffet restaurant. It was usually packed, but since he had made a reservation by phone in advance, he didn't have to worry about not getting a spot.

After Chen Xiangbei parked his car, he took the elevator directly up to the 38th floor, where the buffet restaurant was located.

He stepped into this top-tier seafood buffet restaurant. The spacious and bright area was filled with a faint scent of the ocean. After buying his ticket at the front desk, he walked straight in.

He walked to the buffet counter with anticipation, and the sight before him filled him with excitement.

All sorts of fresh seafood were on display, a dazzling array of lobsters, crabs, abalones, scallops... each emitting an enticing aroma. Chen Xiangbei couldn't wait to pick up a plate and start selecting his favorite delicacies.

He first picked up a plump lobster. Its shell shimmered with a vibrant red, as if beckoning him. He skillfully peeled open the lobster shell, revealing the tender meat. With one bite, the flesh was delicious and juicy, immersing him in a taste of happiness.

Next, he turned to the crabs. They were large and succulent, with plump roe. He gently bit open the shell and sucked the delicious roe, savoring the uniquely rich flavor.

Chen Xiangbei enjoyed the delicious seafood while appreciating the restaurant's elegant ambiance. The people around him were also immersed in the world of food, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

In this seafood feast, Chen Xiangbei savored every dish to his heart's content, experiencing the boundless satisfaction brought by the top-tier seafood. He enjoyed the beauty of this moment, letting the deliciousness bloom in his mouth and happiness spread in his heart.

Chen Xiangbei mused: As expected, you get what you pay for. There's a reason why the price is high. The chef's skill at this restaurant is comparable to about a third of his own cooking level!
