"Hmm, it should be quite big. You should get ready first, in case I don't have enough strength, you can help me out."
Ye Cheng was still shaken by what happened in the last competition. Since it wasn't a competition, he had to get Xiao Hu's help.
"Alright." Little Tiger put down his fishing rod and started rubbing his hands together, eager to get started.
"Hey, Cheng, are we loading a big truck?" Zhao Zhiming turned around and glanced at Ye Cheng, noticing something amiss.
The three middle-aged and elderly people had been fishing for half a day and hadn't gotten anywhere; they were just there to have tea.
"Hmm, I estimate it's about a meter long." Ye Cheng said excitedly.
Since catching that big fish last time, although I'm a little afraid that the fish will be too big to reel in, the thrill of catching a big fish is incomparable to that of catching a small fish.
Hearing that Ye Cheng had boarded the truck, Cui Shuran and Xiao Rou looked over. Cui Shuran couldn't possibly walk over, but Xiao Rou could.
Upon hearing that there was a big catch, she excitedly dropped her fishing rod and hopped over.
"Ye Cheng, you caught a big fish!"
"It should be possible, but I don't know if we can pull it up."
Ye Cheng had almost finished laying out the line, and he planned to pull it up to take a look. He pulled the rod sharply.
The fishing line taut, the fishing rod bent, holding the line firmly in place, and a stalemate began.
The fish was definitely big enough, and it swayed Ye Cheng left and right, and he could only move along with it.
Xiao Rou, who was standing to the side, followed him around, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and she was very excited.
After pulling for a while, Ye Cheng felt his arms starting to ache. It was that time of year again. Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu a look.
Xiao Hu immediately understood, came over and first grasped the top of the fishing rod, then Ye Cheng let go, and Xiao Hu successfully took it.
"You're already done for?" Xiaorou mocked from the side.
"Young man, you seem a bit weak," Old Wang added, delivering another jab.
Ye Cheng was speechless. These two, father and daughter, must drive on the highway, each one faster than the other.
"I'm going to fight a long battle. I'll take a break in the middle and then fight again later." If others are driving, Ye Cheng will drive too. Who's afraid of who?
However, comparing people and goods, the difference in strength or weakness becomes immediately apparent.
Xiao Hu's lower body was more stable than Ye Cheng's. Although he would also be moved left and right by the big fish, he would not stagger. Xiao Hu moved, while Ye Cheng stumbled and fell.
Xiao Rou covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at Ye Cheng every now and then.
Ye Cheng had no choice but to pretend he didn't see the difference in absolute power.
Xiao Hu's pulling method quickly exhausted the big fish's strength, and a large section of the fishing line was pulled up. A dark shadow could be vaguely seen swimming back and forth underwater, being pulled by the fishing line.
"Wow, it's really a meter long!" Xiao Rou's legs are so long that you can see down there while she's standing.
Upon seeing the goods, Ye Cheng was overjoyed. "Little Tiger, take over!"
Xiao Hu glanced at Ye Cheng, "Brother, this fish still has strength. Are you sure you want to catch it now?"
Ye Cheng's face darkened. This brat, now is my time to shine, and you're sabotaging me.
"I'll take it, come on."
Ye Cheng rubbed his hands together, grabbed the end of the fishing rod, and then took the fishing rod from Xiao Hu.
As soon as I received it, I felt an absolute sense of power. The dark shadow on the seabed seemed to sense the change in power above.
It was swimming just fine, but suddenly it turned around and plunged headlong into the seabed, pulling hard on the fishing line.
This was an attempt to return to the deep sea, but Ye Cheng refused. He straightened his back and braced himself against the fishing rod, causing the entire rod to bend completely and make an unpleasant creaking sound.
Then, everyone heard a "pop" and the fishing line shot up from the seabed.
...
Silence!
Ye Cheng stared wide-eyed at the empty fishhook, incredulous. It had escaped?
"You can even unhook this?" Xiao Rou looked at Ye Cheng with a face full of doubt and disbelief, implying that he must be a bit weak to unhook at a time like this.
Xiao Hu shrugged, indicating his innocence, "Well, brother, it was fine when I handed it over to you."
The middle-aged and elderly group also looked back at Ye Cheng's joke, "Young man, being too fierce isn't always a good thing, hahaha."
Ye Cheng couldn't accept it. It was impossible. How could they break off the hook at this time?
He held the fishhook, head bowed in deep thought, unable to find a solution.
Just then, an annoying, unpleasant, and somewhat smug voice came from behind.
"Your fishing rod and hook are wrong. You can't catch big fish like that. You only caught a big fish in the last fishing competition by pure luck."
Depend on!
Indeed, Ye Cheng then remembered the problem with his fishing rod. It was a basic fishing rod provided by the system and was not suitable for sea fishing.
It has to be said that although Cui Shuran is annoyingly handsome, his professional knowledge is still quite good.
"Thanks!" Ye Cheng turned around and thanked him. Even if he didn't like him, he still had to be polite.
He carefully considered Cui Shuran's words. There was still a trace of fish meat left on the hook. It was because the hook was too small, and the combination of factors such as the fishing line and the fishing rod caused it to come off the hook.
Well, that's all for today. I'll save up enough points to buy a better fishing rod later.
After rebaiting and casting again, Ye Cheng had been fishing for almost an hour, but he had only caught two fish, while Cui Shuran had caught a few small fish.
However, there was no movement from Xiaorou's side. She finally managed to catch a fish, but it came off the hook, which made her yell angrily.
Calming down, Ye Cheng began fishing slowly, and in just over half an hour he caught three fish, all of which were white pomfret.
The white pomfret are not very big, with flat bodies, and each one weighs about 3 pounds, making them easy for Ye Cheng to catch.
Not only did Ye Cheng catch fish, but Xiao Hu also caught fish one after another, including pomfret and small squid.
The lively atmosphere here has drawn Xiaorou's attention back over.
She quietly took her fishing rod and moved over to Ye Cheng's side, stubbornly saying, "There are more fish here, I'll come over and fish here for a while."
Ye Cheng smiled without saying a word. They were all in the same ocean; there was no such thing as more or less fish. He just had a lucky streak.
Xiao Rou is a complete novice at fishing, and even with a fishing expert like Cui Shuran teaching her, it's no use.
Seeing Ye Cheng's strange expression, Xiao Rou clenched her fist in a show of force, as if to say that she was also very fierce.
However, after sitting there for more than ten minutes, she hadn't caught anything except for watching Ye Cheng catch two fish, and she started to get a little anxious.
"Your side isn't good either, I want to switch sides."
Ye Cheng looked at her speechlessly, "Why don't you try using one of our fishing rods?"
"Are your fishing rods any good? Didn't Shuran just say your fishing rods were no good?" Xiaorou asked curiously.
"It's wrong to fish for big fish, but small fish are fine. Look how many we've caught so far!" Ye Cheng pointed to the water tank behind him. It was half full. Although the fish weren't very big, there were a lot of them.
