As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
"What do you want? Following behind that little girl, you clearly have ill intentions. The stream is so wide, would you die if you went somewhere else?"
Just then, a loud voice broke in.
Yun looked up and saw a very large man coming over and pushing Tang Jianyuan back to the shore.
Seeing her looking over, the big guy just smiled sheepishly at Yun Jian, then found a spot nearby and started catching fish.
Yun Jian took a few more steps forward and reached the deep water area before putting away the hidden weapon.
Seeing her behavior, Tang Jianyuan scoffed disdainfully, "You're courting death!"
While there are more fish in deeper waters, catching them is also more difficult and dangerous.
Yun Jian didn't even look up, and took out the earthworms he had found earlier from his system inventory.
Seeing her actions, Tang Jianyuan mocked her even more vehemently: "Want to fish? Do you even have a hook? The fish here are very cunning; they take the bait and run away. You think you can just pull them up directly? How naive!"
Upon hearing this, the others by the stream also looked over.
Although I was slightly surprised when I saw the earthworm, I just shook my head afterward.
They did not believe that Yun Jian could catch fish with these baits.
Yun Jian seemed oblivious to the onlookers. After determining the location, she tossed all the earthworms into the water with both hands.
The chattering crowd suddenly fell silent.
Even Tang Jianyuan was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand Yun Jian's behavior.
But that didn't stop him from continuing his taunts: "You've even thrown away the bait, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? You might as well just give me all the rewards..."
Not only those present, but also netizens watching on screens were stunned by Yun Jian's move.
What happened? Why did she throw away all the earthworms? Is she not going fishing anymore?
[Oh no! I just bet she can complete the task, but now I regret it. Can I change my choice?]
[Upstairs, you can't change it anymore, just admit defeat! This woman's actions are too baffling; I suggest sisters with heart conditions stay away from this live stream.]
At this moment, several rows of small loudspeakers floated through Yunjian's live stream room—
[Muni, who doesn't believe the streamer can't complete the task, bets 50 whale coins.]
[Qiao Lulu bet 100 Whale Coins, believing the streamer cannot complete the task]
[Xiao Yang, only wanting to get rich quick, bet 200 whale coins, believing the streamer couldn't complete the task]
...
Yun Jian pretended not to hear them and took out the remaining green leaf juice from her system backpack, pouring it back onto the spot where she had thrown the earthworms.
Before long, fish floated to the surface of the water, belly up.
Without a moment's delay, Yun picked up the fish and threw it into his system inventory.
Upon seeing this, Tang Jianyuan fell silent halfway through his sentence, his face turning ashen, almost as if he were constipated.
The live stream chat exploded, with a string of question marks constantly appearing on the screen.
What happened? Why are all the fish floating to the surface? Did I miss something? Can someone please help me?
I was confused too, but I think I understand why she threw in the earthworms; she was baiting the area! It's like feeding fish before fishing to attract them!
[Found it! The herb she picked before was called poison vine, specifically used to poison fish!]
Holy crap, that's amazing! I'm following!
[Announcement: Peng Yibai's wife tipped the streamer 200 Whale Coins]
[Announcement: It was Yongqi, not the Fifth Prince, who tipped the streamer 500 Whale Coins]
At this moment, Tang Jianyuan saw the bountiful harvest in Yunjian and couldn't help but swallow hard, harboring wicked thoughts.
The stream water was churned and made a splashing sound. Yunjian listened to the sound and quickened his pace.
Just before Tang Jianyuan reached out his hand, he scooped the fish out of the water.
Tang Jianyuan was even more furious when he saw Yun Jian's behavior, but seeing that there were other fish floating belly up around him, he didn't say anything. He changed his target, thinking that he should grab the fish first and the more the better.
These are all system rewards!
Ke Yunjian moved incredibly fast. He saw that almost all the fish on the surface of the water had been picked up, but he still couldn't snatch a single fish from her.
Tang Jianyuan was furious and embarrassed: "Why are you so petty? Are you deliberately going against me?"
Yun Jian kept her eyes fixed on the water. As soon as a fish floated to the surface, she quickly picked it up, giving Tang Jianyuan no chance to take advantage of the situation.
"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?" After being disappointed once again, Tang Jianyuan became even more agitated.
Yun Jian glanced at him briefly, "You dare to steal my poisonous fish?"
"What do you mean by 'stealing'? If the fish wasn't in your hands, anyone had the right to pick it up! But you, didn't you see how many people couldn't catch any fish? How can you have no spirit of sharing? Why did you have to take all the fish? Would it kill you to leave a few for others?"
Yun Jian didn't even straighten up, and said coldly, "I'll leave you a few so you can go and extort other people. Do I look like a sucker to you?"
Tang Jianyuan was so angry that he felt that everyone else was looking at him with suspicion, and he disliked Yun Jian even more.
"There are only so many fish in this water. If you take them all, how are the others supposed to complete their tasks? Do you want everyone to fail their tasks and be forced to their deaths by the system so that no one will compete with you for resources? How can you be so vicious?"
Yun Jian felt both helpless and amused. This flattery only served to maximize her hatred level.
However, she has never liked to be a coward.
"This is a survival game. Only a fool wouldn't hoard resources if they come across them. If they can't complete the mission, that's their problem. As for you, if you're out of your mind, don't try to cheat or swindle. You're like a clown."
Tang Jianyuan blushed with embarrassment. When he saw Yun Jian pick up another fish, he felt a surge of anger and grabbed it directly.
"Give it to me! You're greedy for so many fish, can you even keep them? Don't you know your own limitations!"
He aimed at Yun Jian, but missed.
With a splash, he fell into the stream, looking extremely disheveled.
Yun Jian calmly tossed the fish into his system inventory, roughly estimated its weight, and only after confirming that no more fish were floating did he straighten up and prepare to go ashore.
He had just taken a step when, as if remembering something, he turned around and kicked Tang Jianyuan into the deep water.
"Since you're so eager to collect the fish, I'll give you a ride!"
Tang Jianyuan choked on several mouthfuls of water, feeling both angry and resentful. When he stood up from the water, Yun Jian was nowhere to be seen.
The comments section was filled with a sense of catharsis.
[This guy deserves to be kicked! What kind of person is he, stealing other people's hard work and acting so self-righteous? I hope he runs into the big bad wolf soon!]
However, Yun Jian's collection of so many fish is indeed quite enviable; it's possible that many others in this group share Tang Jianyuan's sentiments.
[Just switched from another player's livestream, and I'm asking because I don't understand. Why is this girl's task ten pounds of fish? It's so pitiful, but I love her personality!]
[I also came here. I didn't understand why she was so flamboyant before, until I saw her task, hahaha, now I get it.]
Just then, an announcement appeared above the screen—
[The live stream attracted 200 viewers, and streamer Yunjian achieved the "emerging talent" milestone!]
