Chapter 461. 461. Ocean: Pearl Fish School

"Captain, do you really want to drive in the direction of this thing?" The pilot looked at the thing about the size of a pocket watch in his hand with a complicated expression, and didn't see anything strange at all.

But the captain said that this is a treasure hunting needle sent down from above, and you can find fish and treasures along the way.

But... Leaving aside the treasures, things like schools of fish are hard to come by.

What's more, this thing looks like an ordinary compass, and the pilot really can't understand how it locates the fish.

With all due respect, he felt that the higher-ups just made such a thing in a daze.

But now the captain also believed in this evil, and insisted on abandoning the original route and following the instructions of the treasure hunting needle instead.

The fourth captain happily ate the canned fruit, and after swallowing a mouthful of mango flesh, he said firmly, "Open! Just drive in this direction!"

Although the fourth captain seems unreliable and occasionally has convulsions, no one has ever questioned his ability.

Both the leadership and the ability to execute planning are absolutely excellent, otherwise it would be impossible to overwhelm so many people and become one of the top five captains in the East.

Now that he said so, even if the pilot still questioned, he could only obey.

Disagreement of opinion is the most taboo in sailing. If conflicts arise, it will affect the fate of the entire fleet.

"Yes." The pilot sighed and prepared to leave after receiving the order.

"Don't frown, come and taste the canned fruit, and feel better."

Seeing that a can was stuffed in his hand, and it was the same type of canned fruit as the captain's, the pilot's heart warmed up, and his mood really improved a lot.

"Today is just the first day of the fish season, and the number of fish is far less than that in the next two days, so today is used to find out whether the treasure hunting needle is really effective, or to make arrangements for the next few days."

Although it is difficult to see fish schools, fish flood days are equivalent to the days when marine life is having a party, and the number of fish schools will increase and become denser.

Although it will be easier to find than before, the difficulty is not low.

Use one day to do the experiment, if it is true, then the harvest in the next two days will definitely increase greatly, if it is false, they will just waste one day.

And in fact, it is not a complete waste, after all, in order not to waste time on the road, they can also fish.

Anyway, in the absence of fish schools, it doesn't matter where you throw the net, it doesn't make any difference.

"What the captain said is true." After the pilot knew that his arrangement was not a temporary idea, but had been planned, the resistance in his heart decreased a lot.

He put the canned fruit in his hand into his pocket, and then went to the cab with the treasure hunting needle.

After a lot of effort, they drove according to the instructions of the treasure-hunting needle and drove, and they came to the junction of the deep sea and the shallow sea.

"This seems to be area B6." As for the sea area, A is the deep sea, B is the boundary line, and C is the shallow sea.

This is generally a way for older fleets with rich experience to divide up the location of the sea area.

Because ordinary people can't tell the difference between the oceans at all, only experienced pilots and helmsmen can tell the location by feeling.

"It's not there yet, let's drive further." The pilot frowned as he looked at the treasure-hunting needle in his hand.

After another 3 minutes of driving, they had crossed from the B6 area to the A2 area, but the treasure hunting needle still did not change.

Just when the pilot wondered whether this thing was useful, he only heard a 'ding', and the pointer of the treasure hunting needle suddenly became dim, while the circle in the middle lit up.

"It's here?" The notification sound was so crisp that the helmsman was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should continue driving or not.

It was also the first time for him to see this novel gadget, so he couldn't see what it meant.

"Stop first, I'll go find the captain."

"it is good."

As soon as the pilot left the bridge, he heard the voices of everyone discussing from the deck outside——

"Is this the destination for today? There are so many schools of fish, what luck!"

"Hiss! I seem to have seen a tiger-striped grouper fish! This thing is delicious. It has more meat and less thorns, and it doesn't taste fishy. Most importantly, it has a lot of pearls on its body."

"More than that, I also saw the colorful striped fish and the sharp horned fish, and there are many pearls in these two."

……

Not many people know the existence of the treasure-hunting needle, and the fleet’s driving route is generally kept secret, so everyone thinks that this is the destination that was set at the beginning, rather than the location found by random following an unknown treasure-hunting needle .

The pilot was stunned for a moment when he heard their discussion, and then ran to the captain's cabin.

When he passed by, he found that someone was faster than him.

Because the boat stopped and there were a lot of fish nearby, someone had already come to ask the captain for instructions.

After the fourth captain saw the pilot, he looked at the treasure hunting needle in his hand, "How?"

"This is where the treasure hunting needle points." The pilot handed the things in his hand to the fourth captain.

The people who came to seek instructions also stared curiously at this inconspicuous thing, which was less than the size of a palm.

In fact, the fourth captain himself has some doubts about this thing, but after all, it is a gift from the people above, so it doesn't hurt to try it out.

But I didn't expect the result to be so surprising.

"Are there a lot of fish outside?"

"A lot! There are a lot! You guys even saw a lot of 'pearl fish'. I suspect there may be schools of pearl fish near here." Pearl fish is not the name of a fish, but a general term for fish with pearls.

Like the tiger grouper mentioned earlier, the colorful striped fish and the sharp horned fish are typical "pearl fish". Seven out of ten fish have pearls, and there may even be more than one pearl.

It is conceivable that if there are really pearl fish schools around here, how rich their harvest will be today.

"Then why are you still standing there, hurry up and fish!" The fourth captain said hurriedly, took his coat, and followed them onto the deck.

As the people who came to report said, all the fish around here looked like they were tumbling, and they could even clearly hear the movements of some other sea creatures in the water.

After receiving the order, everyone threw out the baited fishing nets one after another. For a while, the deck was full of busy figures.

But the busier you are, the happier everyone is, because it proves that you can get more money at that time.

……

I kept busy until lunch, when the treasure hunting needle made a 'ding' sound, and the pointer lighted up again.

It was twelve o'clock at noon, and it was also the time to reposition the treasure hunting needle.

With the efforts of the whole crew, the surrounding fish schools have basically been caught, and everyone is cleaning the pearls at this time.

During the period, everyone can clearly find that the fishing nets brought by their captain afterward have significantly more harvest than other fishing nets.
