I Can Turn into a Fish Chapter 133

The exterior of the ship was white, and the name MERMAID was painted boldly on the hull . The total length was exactly 28 meters, with a water displacement volume of 181t . The factory waterline was 26 . 06m, with a refrigerated seawater tank of 61 . 7 m3 . The width was 5 . 8 wide, the bait hold 13m3, and the molded breadth 5 . 40m . The frozen cabin was 14 . 36m3 and the molded depth was 2 . 30m; the dried fish cabin was at a respectable 15 . 28m3, the fresh water tank was 9 . 76 m3, the designed draft was 1 . 90m and the fuel compartment was 13m3 . The crew had 12 members, and the whole ship traveled at a speed of 15 knots .

The fishing ship steadily sailed out into the ocean .

"Eh? Are they going out to sea? No way, with so few people?"

"Impossible . They're probably going to see the sights . These past couple of days, this ship has always gone out to sea in the morning and returned in the afternoon . "

"Eh? For fun? Are you sure? How much money does it cost for such a large ship to go out to sea even once?"

"Of course I'm sure . I've paid attention to this ship, and every day, they come back without any fish . "

"This… unbelievable…"

The people at the harbor all gossiped as they watched the fishing ship leaving the port .

Chu Xian looked at the four mermen beside him and smiled . When the fishing ship was around twenty nautical miles out at sea, he started scanning the waters with his sonar .

"Old Mu, slow down!" Chu Xian called out .

Old Mu nodded and the speed of the fishing ship quickly dropped .

"There's a lobster about twenty meters in front of us, port side . Sword Two, go catch it . There's a large scallop around fifty meters ahead of us - go, Sword Four . There are some large crabs underneath us…"

With Chu Xian's sense powers, the fish in the sea all revealed themselves to him, and he called out commands to the mermen .

"Yes, Boss . We'll bring them right back!" The merman followed his commands . After quickly stripping, they jumped into the sea .

With small splashes, each of the mermen dived into the water .

They quickly darted down into the depths of the sea with incredible speed .

Chu Xian watched them swim and he smiled .

"Hua!" Less than two minutes later, Sword Two surfaced with a giant lobster in each hand, and he quickly swam forward to catch up with the ship . With an almost gentle strength, he tossed the two lobsters onto the deck then with a fierce kick, he leaped three meters out of the water and grabbed the side of the fishing ship and quickly somersaulted onto the deck .

"Boss! I've completed my mission!" Sword Two smiled .

Chu Xian nodded with approval .  "Not bad, you were very fast!"

"Thank you, boss . Mermen have a strong ability for hunting, and we can lock down many sea creatures very quickly . We're also much stronger in the ocean than on land!" Sword Two explained in a completely unobtrusive and natural manner . He felt so comfortable in the ocean that a part of him didn't want to leave the water .

"Peng, peng!" Quiet thuds accompanied Sword Four and Bass One's return to the ship . Chu Xian looked over them like a super evil awesome mastermind overlord with contentment .

"Not bad . Keep up the good work!" Chu Xian said . He had the mermen put their catches in the basin on the ship .

Chu Xian mused to himself as they worked; swordfish were clearly superior to bass in their abilities to navigate the waters – swordfish were fast and fierce, but bass were much weaker .

"I'll need to remold some strong fish in the future . The normal ones can maintain the boat," Chu Xian thought to himself in a suitably devilishly handsome manner .

"Let's go faster . " Chu Xian yelled out .

Old Mu hurriedly followed his command, pointing the ship in the direction of the seaweed area .

About an hour later, the Mermaid stopped above the seaweed area, and Old Mu and Old Huang walked off the bridge .

"Okay, we're here . Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to collect interesting stones, small shrimps, Christmas Tree Worms, jellyfish, and beautiful plants . You must put them into these bags very carefully . Also, there are giant jellyfish in this area, and if you encounter them, do not approach them . Back away very carefully . Do you understand?" Chu Xian said to the six mermen .

"Yes, sir!" The mermen called out .

Chu Xian nodded with contentment; it looked like Old Huang trained them well .

"Old Huang and Old Mu, you guys will stay on the boat and sort out the things they bring back . Bass One, you're in charge of collecting stones," Chu Xian called out again .

"Yes, sir!"

The mermen nodded then each took a bag and dove into the water .

Chu Xian reclined on a chair and basked in the sun . He only lacked a glass of wine and a beauty massaging him; instead, he had Old Huang and Old Mu standing beside him .  

Chu Xian had slowly come to the realization that there was a large flaw in the mermen he remolded . They didn't really have emotions, and their hearts were always calm and steady .

But in the end, this didn't affect their thinking, so it wasn't a big deal .

In his mind, Chu Xian watched his mermen working and he stretched his senses in each direction to watch out for box jellyfish .

He didn't want any of his minions injured . Each merman was extremely precious (for his plans of world domination to come to fruition) . He couldn't bear to lose even one .

The mermen all swam quickly and carefully, either placing the less dangerous jellyfish into the bags or carefully digging up the Christmas Tree Worms .

Bass One was looking around for interesting stones, some about half a meter long, others as large as his fist .

Chu Xian watched them working with satisfaction . With their help, the efficiency of retrieval was increased . He wasn't as proficient in many regards as the mermen were, and it was also quite inconvenient to collect things in his fish form . (1)

"Hua! Shortly afterward, Bass One dragged a large bag of stones back to the ship, and Old Huang and Old Mu quickly moved to help him get the bag onboard .

"En, not bad . Get bigger ones next time . " Chu Xian looked over at the stones in the bag and nodded .

He could find someone to touch up the bigger stones . Strange stones that were naturally shaped into cones were probably too rare; it would be easier to have people manually shape the larger stones for him .

Chu Xian thought about his future evil plans as bags of jellyfish and Christmas Tree Worms were quickly deposited on board .

Old Huang and Old Mu were busily sorting them all into the prepared tanks, placing all the booty into the seawater storage .

"All of this is money! Ahh, I'm so poor right now!" Chu Xian exclaimed to himself and walked over to help them .

The mermen were very efficient, making return trips every half hour or so . With the progress they were making, they would have over a hundred sea tanks ready by the afternoon .

And after the different aquariums were ready, the store renovations would be complete .
