"Don't be too happy yet, the real show is yet to come." Zhao Liying was unconvinced. Among the remaining four fish traps, she chose the one that had been thrown the farthest. She untied the vines that were tied to the rocks, stood on the boulder, and pulled it up with all her might.

"It's so heavy, the fish trap is going to burst! Fatty, come help me pull it up, give me a hand!" Zhao Liying pulled on the fish trap, it was so heavy she could barely move it, so she quickly called for Fatty to help.

Seeing this, Li Yinsheng stepped forward to lend a hand and found that this fish trap was heavier than the one she had pulled up before. Li Yinsheng had a feeling that there should be a lot of fish inside, and Zhao Liying must have taken advantage of her luck.

Once the fish trap is lifted out of the water, the fish trapped inside begin to struggle violently, splashing water everywhere, as if trying to break free from the cage that binds them to their freedom.

"It's about to burst!" Zhao Liying's face lit up with joy after sensing the movement of the fish cage, and she quickly pulled the cage up.

After pulling it up, they couldn't wait to open the funnel lid at the fish trap's inlet.

"Wow! So many shrimp, and octopus, big fish, crabs, and coconut snails!" Zhao Liying exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Five black tiger prawns the size of a palm, three octopuses weighing over a pound each, four fish weighing over two pounds each, five crabs, and a coconut snail weighing over four pounds each.

In terms of both quantity and weight, Zhao Liying harvested far more seafood than Liu Yifei.

"Xixi, I've gained more than you. I'm sure I'll beat you both this time." Zhao Liying looked at Liu Yifei triumphantly, a victor's smile on her lips.

"That's not necessarily true! Fatty hasn't put away the fish traps yet," Liu Yifei retorted stubbornly.

Actually, she had already given up hope that the fish trap that Fatty brought in would be able to beat Yingbao's.

"Wow! Yingbao is so lucky today, she managed to beat Fatty and Qianqian."

"That's not necessarily true. Fatty hasn't brought the fish traps up yet."

"Yingbao has gained so much today, I don't believe that Fatty can beat Yingbao."

"How come Group A is so lucky? Other groups have such a hard time catching fish, but Group A can easily put down a fish trap and get the equivalent of several days' worth of catch for other groups."

Now there are only three fish traps left. Li Yinsheng randomly picked one, skillfully untied the rope tied to the reef, and slowly pulled up the fish trap that was submerged in the water.

The weight in my hand suddenly increased, and as the fish trap gradually floated to the surface, the splashing sounds and commotion inside the trap grew even louder.

Even viewers who had given up hope that the chubby girl would win against Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying were now staring intently at the fish trap in the live stream.

"This...this feels even heavier than before!" Li Yinsheng increased her strength, pulling upwards with both hands until the fish trap finally lifted completely off the water, creating a splash of crystal-clear water.

As Li Yinsheng carefully lifted the lid of the fish trap and poured it down, the fish inside seemed to rush out in a frenzy.

"How...how can there be so many?" Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying looked at the fish on the ground, exchanging a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhao Liying had already caught enough fish, but she didn't expect there to be even more.

Two lobsters, each weighing over two pounds, one conger eel, estimated to be four pounds, five large sea fish, each weighing at least three pounds, two octopuses, five palm-sized prawns, and a few mantis shrimp, crabs, conch, and scallops—the bucket was overflowing with food.

"The outcome is decided. I'll remember the favor you two owe me." Li Yinsheng hadn't expected to be so lucky today, reaping such a huge reward.

Even director Hongtao, who was watching the live broadcast, was worried that the chubby girl would suffer a setback this time, and that the goddess of fortune would fall from her pedestal, which would greatly disappoint the audience.

After Fatty arrived at Jinsha Island, her persona was that of a resilient, optimistic, capable, and lucky goddess. Later, it was revealed that she was a top student from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, adding the label of a talented woman who could do everything. The viewers watching the live stream also liked Fatty. When the three of them competed, he was worried that Fatty's persona would collapse, which would disappoint the audience and reduce the show's appeal.

That's just how people are; they love perfect things and people. Once there are flaws or the invincible status is broken, the love in their hearts can instantly turn into disappointment and doubt.

Director Hongtao knew this all too well. He stared intently at the screen, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Every move the chubby girl made tugged at his heartstrings. Originally, seeing Zhao Liying's large catch of fish, he thought the chubby girl wouldn't be able to win the three-way competition.

Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn. The fat girl's fish traps yielded more fish than Zhao Liying's catch. From disappointment to surprise, the reversal was incredibly fast. This scene instantly ignited the enthusiasm in the live stream room, with a flood of comments and the atmosphere reaching a climax as people liked and sent gifts.

"Lady Luck has returned, and the chubby girl is blessed with good fortune once again."

"I'm truly impressed by Fatty's luck."

"Does getting fatter bring better luck? I want to gain weight."

"Fatty is awesome! Keep it up so my Yingbao and Qianqian can have enough to eat."

[Ding! The host has completed the task issued by the system. The host is rewarded with three attribute points of any kind and can unlock one basic skill at will.]

After Li Yinsheng collected the fish from the fish trap, she heard the system reward notification. Without hesitation, she unlocked the beginner fishing master skill.

As the notification sound of skill unlocking echoed in his mind, a stream of knowledge about fishing techniques surged into Li Yinsheng's mind: how to use a harpoon, how to judge the direction of a school of fish, and the habits of fish activity in different seasons... This knowledge flowed into his mind like a gentle stream, giving Li Yinsheng an unprecedentedly profound understanding of the art of fishing.

In addition, Li Yinsheng seemed to have found that her swimming and breath-holding abilities had also improved significantly, as if her body had been adjusted by some subtle force to be more adapted to the underwater environment.

Li Yinsheng was secretly delighted. This beginner fishing expert skill not only improved her fishing skills, but also unexpectedly enhanced her underwater survival ability.

In the struggle for survival on this island, this was undoubtedly a timely help.

"Let's go back." After retrieving the next two fish traps, which only yielded a few crabs, Li Yinsheng called Zhao Liying and Liu Yifei to head home.

When they arrived at the beach where Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yixing were fishing, they saw the two of them lying on the sand, panting heavily, with two fish weighing more than a pound each next to them.

"Master, Yixing, the fish traps we put away have burst open. We're not going to fish today; we'll go straight to cooking when we get back." Zhao Liying carried a red bucket to the Master and Zhang Yixing, shaking the wooden bucket in her hand with a hint of pride.
