As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

Just then, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.

Only then did Luo Feng grasp the true size of the sailfish. It was so enormous that it made him doubt his very existence. The fish had exceeded five meters and likely weighed more than 200 pounds.

Such a sailfish was the dream catch for fishermen who specialized in sailfish hunting. A single one could sell for several hundred thousand yuan.

“Go for it!”

Swiftly, Luo Feng took his stance, and with a precise swish, he hurled the harpoon.

The harpoon sliced through the air, diving into the water with a resonant thump.

Soon, beneath the water’s surface, one could see the large fish struggling, impaled. The entire sea was set into motion, great waves cresting and falling.

“Hahaha, finally got you!”

Though the sailfish was rather large, and this fatal strike did not hit a vital spot, it had penetrated several decimeters. With the harpoon lodged like this, escape would be difficult.

But the animal’s instinct was to survive. Despite the severe wound, the sailfish frantically bolted in another direction.

“Damn, this fish is enormous.”

“Holy smokes, the host caught a kingfish!”

“Damn, I’m stunned; I’ve never seen such a big fish!”

“That harpoon of the host’s is impressive; it penetrated so deep!”

“Better than me; I only got about a decimeter in!”

“Hahaha, brother, I doubt you’re talking about fishing!”

But this was not a time for Luo Feng to rejoice.

Although the sailfish was speared, capturing it would not be easy. Luo Feng had to wear it down until it was utterly exhausted before he could haul it onto the small boat.

Splashing sounds filled the air as the large-headed sailfish continued to struggle, ceaselessly swimming forward, but unable to break free from the harpoon’s restraint.

“Quite strong!” Luo Feng remarked, holding the end of the harpoon rope, feeling the entire small boat rocking side to side, following the fish’s desperate movements.

Gradually, the fish’s strength waned due to the wound and excessive exertion, and its once fierce struggle lessened.

Luo Feng knew the time was right, and he slowly began to pull in the rope. If he had tried to pull in the rope at the beginning, he likely would have been pulled into the water. But now, the fatigued fish had lost such strength.

Minutes later, the fish’s energy reached its limit, and Luo Feng steadily pulled in the rope, the fish slowly surfacing above the water.

“Damn, it’s really huge!”

“How do we get this up?”

“Such a long mouth, so sharp-looking!”

Luo Feng chuckled, “Why do we need to get it up? Such a big fish, we wouldn’t have room for it anyvvay!” He turned to Lin Yueting, “Now, we can head back!”

“Yes!” Lin Yueting, the beautiful woman, nodded, then steered the speedboat towards Experiment 1.

On the large ship, everyone had witnessed Luo Feng’s actions, and were both frightened and relieved to see him return.

Especially Li Shishi, whose palms were sweaty from worry. Without Luo Feng, she didn’t know how she would have managed. It was not only about the catch, but a woman’s attachment to a man.

“This young man has great skill!” Uncle Wang, who had also ventured out to catch sailfish in the stormy weather, saw Luo Feng’s performance from afar and was astonished. He considered him a fishing genius — a complete super ocean hunter. The power and accuracy with which he threw that harpoon was something honed over more than a decade of practice.

Back on the large ship, with enough hands and tools, hauling the 200-pound, barely-alive fish was simple.

“Luo Feng, you scared me to death!”

“Don’t worry, didn’t I come back? Let’s have lunch together. This wild sailfish will be delicious!”

Upon Luo Feng’s return, Li Shishi rushed to him, her eyes red with worry. Though she had faced many life-or-death situations, she was still deeply concerned about Luo Feng. “Wow, we’ll have this for lunch?”

“Yay!”

“I get to eat sailfish again!”

Seeing such a large sailfish, and knowing that Luo Feng was sharing it with everyone, many of the crew members rubbed their hands together in anticipation. They were in for a feast.

And 200 pounds of fish, Luo Feng mused, would surely be enough for everyone. He even considered shipping some back to his mistresses, Qin Rubing and Su Meiji.. Although they were wealthy and could buy such a fish, one caught by their husband had an unmatched value, didn’t it?
