Looking back, the two people behind him looked puzzled.
A complete novice who doesn't even know how to cast a line has caught so many fish, including grouper.
What about the world? What about Heaven?
It's like that guy who spends all his time studying candlestick charts, mACD, and P/E ratios, and then loses everything.
A complete novice, blindly rushing in, directly drove the stock to three consecutive daily price limits.
Poor Uncle Jinshui is about to get conjunctivitis.
Moreover, why does this thing defy common sense? Why can one bait catch so many fish?
Ye Cheng had already grown to love the feeling of catching fish; it was much more exciting than beachcombing.
After all, beachcombing is mostly about picking up things, but fishing involves a silent battle with the fish.
Xiao Hu cast his line again, determined not to believe he couldn't catch a single fish.
Sure enough, what shouldn't work still doesn't work.
Little Tiger hadn't even warmed his seat when Ye Cheng started moving again. The splash wasn't big, but the effort was considerable.
Ye Cheng quickly got up and steadied himself, bracing the fishing rod against his waist and abdomen to find a foothold.
The fishing rod bent at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a long arc.
"This should be a large shipment, bro, hold on tight."
Xiao Hu had long lost interest in fishing. He abandoned his own fishing rod and came over, his hands itching to try it himself.
"You want to come?" Ye Cheng's arms were already sore from struggling with the fish for a while, and seeing Xiao Hu like this, he decided to do him a favor.
After Xiaohu took it, he immediately felt a tightness in his hand; the feeling of having the goods was wonderful.
He still had all the energy he'd accumulated overnight, so he pulled the fish, sometimes taking a few steps to the left, sometimes a few steps back.
"You're walking your dog in the sea," Ye Cheng remarked.
"Brother, walking a fish is similar to walking a dog; both exhaust its energy."
Look... I pull the rod... I set the hook... I reel in the line.
Sure enough, after Xiao Hu's efforts, the big fish finally revealed its back, a bluish-white back with a standard dorsal fin, and a body length of about 30 centimeters, with a slender body.
"Brother, it looks like a threadfin bream."
"The mackerel is pretty good too, it costs several tens of yuan per kilogram." Uncle Jinshui looked at the sea with teary eyes, extremely envious. Should he go back and get his fishing rod?
The threadfin bream has a slender and graceful body, but it has one drawback: it dies as soon as it comes ashore, and it dies decisively and without hesitation.
By the time Ye Cheng got the fish in his hand, it was already dead. Sure enough, you're still you.
Although it's dead, it's still valuable, more expensive than a sea bream.
Uncle Jinshui was a bit numb. This guy can catch any kind of fish. No, this one has a bite today.
He suddenly stood up, startling Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu. "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Uncle Jinshui's eyes lit up, his voice trembled, and he pointed to the sea, saying, "I know, today must be the Dragon King opening his granary to release fish. I'm going back to get my rod now, I'm going to catch a ton of fish."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to speak, he picked up his bucket, which was half full of spicy snails, and rushed out.
"Wait for me, you two rascals."
Ye Cheng stared blankly at Xiao Hu, his face expressionless. He turned to look at Xiao Hu and asked, "You released the fish into the tank, why didn't you catch any?"
Xiao Hu looked helpless. "Brother, you can't be so blatant about this. How was I supposed to know?"
"Wow, you're getting better and better at using Versailles."
Xiao Hu didn't reply. He bent down and baited the hook for Ye Cheng, indicating that Ye Cheng could cast the line.
This time, Ye Cheng also tried using a casting rod. The fishing line was successfully cast into the air, but instead of flying to the sea as he had imagined, it flew straight towards Xiao Hu's neck.
The guy was so frightened that he jumped off the reef, thus avoiding a bloody disaster.
"Brother, you should stick to your old method. This kind of advanced technique isn't really suitable for you."
Ye Cheng chuckled awkwardly. Damn, why can't I use this thing?
With no other option, I continued using my old-fashioned, commoner-style casting rod, and the fishing line slowly sank into the seawater.
Ye Cheng gently tugged at the bait to make it more active.
Less than two minutes later, the float moved, dipped slightly, and then returned to its original position. Which dear little one was testing the waters again?
Ye Cheng loosened his tense hands, gripped the fishing rod firmly, pulled the fishing line up slightly, and then let the line sink again, mimicking the way a small fish swims in the sea.
I'll seduce you like this, let's see if you'll take the bait.
On the third attempt, Ye Cheng lifted the rod and immediately sensed something different; the fish had taken the bait.
"Damn, more fish? Bro, is someone hanging fish for you down there?" Xiao Hu slapped his thigh hard. The other side was bustling with activity, while his side was lifeless.
Ye Cheng chuckled lightly, focusing intently on dealing with the fish in front of him.
This fish isn't very strong; it doesn't seem to be a big fish.
Ye Cheng slowly reeled in the line. The fish didn't struggle much; its strength was very limited.
He was still wondering about it, but when it was about to surface, Ye Cheng immediately understood. It was a squid, a huge squid, probably weighing about two pounds.
"Little Tiger, Squid, come help me put in the ink," Ye Cheng called out.
The giant squid has a cavity full of black ink inside its belly. If you don't let it spit it out in the sea, it will be very difficult to wash off your clothes once it gets on them.
So usually, we just let it spit out while it's still in the water, letting it pollute the entire ocean.
Little Tiger jumped down to the rocks in a few swift movements, gently scooped the giant squid into the net, adjusted its mouth to face the right direction, and then pressed it against its belly.
With a "plop," a gush of black liquid sprayed into the seawater, turning the previously dark belly transparent.
"Alright, bro," Xiao Hu called out, unloading the squid and letting Ye Cheng reel in the hook.
"Brother, look, what a big squid, it must weigh two or three pounds."
"Okay, put it in the back water tank, then add some more water to the tank. If that doesn't work, go back and get another water tank. I feel like we won't be able to fit it all tonight."
"Okay, I really didn't expect there to be so many fish here." Xiao Hu replied and turned to go back to the village to get the water tank, since he couldn't catch any fish here anyway.
Ye Cheng looked at the tank; there were already several fish, but Xiao Hu still hadn't caught anything.
It seems to be working normally on his end; the problem on my end is with the system.
It was also because he didn't have enough points to exchange for two fishing rods, otherwise Xiao Hu would definitely have been able to catch some fish as well.
No way, I have to earn the points for this fishing rod tonight.
Ye Cheng checked his points; he already had nearly 200. The big trucks really made a difference; his points increased much faster.
With no one to disturb him, Ye Cheng lit a cigarette and continued his shady fishing.
This special bait is truly exceptional; it attracts fish with an extremely high success rate.
If there's no movement for even a minute, Ye Cheng will reel it in and cast it again, or he'll tug at it in place for a while. Usually, within 3 minutes, a fish will come to scout out the situation.
