Whack! Whack!
A wave crashed onto the deck.
Splashes soaked Yang Xu from head to toe.
Fortunately, he was wearing a waterproof suit, otherwise, he would have turned into a drowned chicken...
If not for his significantly enhanced physical strength.
And the safety rope tied around his waist that was secured to the ship.
This wave that struck.
Could have easily swept him into the ocean.
At this moment.
Yang Xu finally understood why the crab fisherman's profession was so risky.
If one were to be swept into the sea by mistake, it would be incredibly difficult to retrieve them.
………
The first crab trap.
Quickly sank into the sea.
Weighing around 300 kilograms, the crab trap had to be this heavy.
Otherwise, it would sink to the seabed, potentially wasting a lot of time.
And its position would also deviate from where it was thrown in.
"The first crab trap is in place, I'm going to put two crab traps in the same location."
Yang Xu spoke through the intercom to Yi Ying in the cockpit.
This was to remind her to continue sailing slowly.
The reason Yang Xu did this.
Was to have double insurance for finding the 'D-grade rare creature'.
It would also increase the radius of the herring crab bait's scent diffusion.
The sand sculpture netizens in the live stream began to analyze Brother Xu's 'tactics'.
【Brother Xu, this is called 'two-pronged approach'! With two traps, there's bound to be one that catches a crab, right?】
【After placing the remaining three traps, can we wait for the harvest?】
【Don't forget the camera on the first trap, we might see the footage transmitted back!】
【The footage from hundreds of meters deep in the Arctic Ocean? I'm so excited!】
Previously, the 'Cloud Sail' yacht, which had been upgraded several times by Yang Xu's attribute point additions.
Faced with the harsh sea conditions, it was much smoother compared to ordinary crab fishing boats.
Otherwise, with the wind and waves of the Bering Sea crab fishing grounds.
Even those who didn't get seasick.
Would probably be thrown up for a few days.
The two crab traps were placed in succession.
Yang Xu returned to the cockpit.
Drip~
Drip~
Water droplets from his waterproof suit fell onto the floor.
Yang Xu shook his head, splashing Yi Ying in the face with water.
"The crab trap placement was very successful, I have the potential of a crab-catching genius!"
Yang Xu grinned.
Revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
Although the Bering Sea was overcast today.
Yi Ying felt that Yang Xu's smile was like a little sun, bright and warm.
At the same time...
She wiped the water from her face and said, "Brother Xu, can you shake off the water outside before coming in?"
"Where should we put the next three crab traps?"
Yang Xu casually replied:
"Just put them anywhere, we don't have the observation skills of a professional crab fisherman, who knows where the king crabs are."
The live stream audience was now happily engaged in a guessing game.
The content of the guess.
Was how many king crabs Yang Xu could catch?
【Others catch crabs relying on courage, experience, luck, etc., Brother Xu relies solely on luck.】
【There was Jiang Ziya fishing in ancient times, now there is Brother Xu catching crabs, maybe he really can stumble upon a dead rat?】
【I bet 'Brother Xu goes fishing and gets nothing' 200 beans, I'm not being a jinx, I just want to give you a reverse milk!】
To ensure that the five crab traps wouldn't be too scattered.
It would be a hassle to retrieve them later.
During the next 2 nautical miles of the 'Cloud Sail's' voyage.
Yang Xu placed the remaining three crab traps into the sea.
With everything in place.
Yang Xu was finally able to take off his waterproof suit and take a hot shower on the second floor of the yacht.
When he returned to the cockpit.
He found that the number of viewers in the live stream had reached around 2.8 million!
The accumulated popularity over this period.
Made the audience eagerly await the harvest of Yang Xu's five crab traps.
"Over the next ten hours, we'll be in a resting state, letting the crab traps stay in for a longer time can attract more king crabs to eat the bait."
The live stream audience was full of doubts:
【Does resting mean going offline? Will we find out the results after ten hours?】
【The first crab trap that was dropped into the sea earlier had a camera in it, I wonder if any king crabs have entered the trap after more than an hour.】
【Want to see the underwater perspective~ Brother Xu, satisfy our curiosity.】
Yang Xu rubbed his temples and said:
"I'll switch the underwater camera footage to the live stream."
At this time, Yi Ying had already started to pilot the Cloud Sail back to the location of the first crab trap.
Yang Xu sat beside her.
Ready to switch the live stream perspective.
To the underwater footage from the camera installed on the crab trap.
Yi Ying explained to the audience in the live stream:
"That sports camera transmits footage using a local network, we need to be near the area where the crab trap was placed to receive the signal."
To ensure that the footage could be transmitted back.
Yang Xu had also installed two signal amplifiers on the crab trap's rope.
After about ten minutes.
The footage from the camera placed in the crab trap.
Finally transmitted back from the depths of the sea!
Even though the camera had an illumination function, the surrounding water was still dim and oppressive.
Yang Xu confirmed through the 【Radar Template】.
The 'D-grade rare creature' he had previously discovered still hadn't moved.
As for whether he could capture it with the crab trap.
Yang Xu could only rely on luck.
The A-grade reward 【Fishing Luck】 given by the system earlier might play a role.
Therefore, in essence.
Yang Xu thought the audience's 'relying solely on luck' was very accurate.
Just as Yang Xu was lost in thought.
Yi Ying reminded him, "Brother Xu, the underwater camera footage seems to have transmitted successfully!"
At the same time.
The live stream footage was switched to underwater.
The audience jokingly called it the 'crab trap first-person perspective'.
However!
When the underwater footage was transmitted to the live stream.
All the viewers were stunned!
Beneath the deep sea!
A huge shadow, as if moving towards the crab trap!
Far exceeding the size a king crab should have!
The camera's visibility was very low.
It was impossible to tell what that dark shadow was.
At this moment!
The live stream audience went wild!
