Chapter 453: Automated Fishing

The yacht sailed on the water, and the fishing machine was like its big tail, following slowly behind.

It was noon, and the temperature was just right as it was autumn. The lake was covered with water vapor; one felt exceptionally comfortable when the autumn breeze blew the vapor around and it brushed softly around them.

The seats of the fishing machine were broad and big. They could be pulled to be made into recliners.

Hans pulled his seat to make it into a recliner and laid on it lazily. ”D*mn, this feels so good!” he exclaimed. ”I'm going to buy some beer and stay here all afternoon.”

The treasure hunters on the yacht were dissatisfied. ”Big Li, will you both hurry up? Do we take turns to have a go at the fishing machine? D*mn, I'm going to be squeezed into a sandwich!”

Dickens laughed in a teasing manner. ”Thomson, pal, blame yourself for being so fat. If you were like me, you'd definitely feel better.”

Big, fat Thomson turned around to glared, pushed Big Beard Carl aside, and squeezed his way through to Dickens, cramming him into a corner of the deck.

He heaved a sigh of relief. ”Sh*t, this is so much comfortable now. Thank you Dickens, you're such a nice fella. Your reminder was very timely.”

Dickens was out of breath. ”F*ck, you get outta here now. You're squeezing me off the yacht.”

The yacht that Hans rented was too small to accommodate more than 30 people. The yacht could accommodate 15 people, and now that it was holding double its recommended capacity, it was good enough that it simply didn't sink.

They had bought the appropriate bait for the fishing rods and hooks on the fishing machine to use. Li Du hooked a rubber bait on a fishing rod and swung it into the water, then he inserted the fishing rod on the fishing machine.

He didn't have to worry about the rest, for the machine would take care of the fishing.

After doing that to the rest of the fishing rods, he took another rubber bait and asked, ”Big Fox, can this bait attract any fish? D*mmit, are we too frivolous using this?”

When he was still in school back in China, he would sometimes join his classmates for fishing. They would use bait like worms and grasshoppers. Sometimes, they would even use self-made dough bait.

This kind of bait had its own food fragrance to attract fish. But the bait they were using now was made of rubber; he was skeptical if they would be able to fool the fish into biting it.

On the other hand, Hans was very confident. ”Rest assured. Although this is rubber bait, it is very useful. We'll have a big harvest today.”

Li Du looked at the hooks that were now in the water. The bait had not sunk yet. They were floating on the surface of the water and the bait was reflecting the light rays from the sun. It was pretty eye-catching.

Not long after, a message and a bunch of parameters appeared on the dashboard computer screen: ”The force gauge is 2.5N,””Reel process in preparation,””The line is now entering the reeling phase…”

After the information appeared on the screen, the machine controlled a fishing rod and started to rotate rapidly; a swishing sound was heard and the fishing line was now straight.

Li Du watched with great interest. A fish took the bait! he thought excitedly.

From his impression, an angler would now pull on the line as a test to prevent the fish from breaking the line or coming off the hook.

But the fishing machine was very fast. Swish! Swish! It made continuous rotating sounds and a fish could now be seen on the surface of the water. Within seconds, the fish was successfully pulled out of the water.

The fish looked very fat with silvery-white scales. Its width was much longer than its length. After leaving the water, it frantically struggled to free itself—unfortunately for the fish, the line was very resilient, and it couldn't get off the hook.
