The main problem was that the magic attack from the neighboring number 26 delayed my time.
Without delay, Ye Cheng changed the bait and cast his line again. The fish ate so voraciously that it finished the entire bait.
"Go check on Cui Shuran later and see how much she's caught," Ye Cheng whispered to Xiao Hu.
Xiao Hu responded and left.
At the current rate, including the one I lost, I'm catching 3 fish in half an hour, 6 fish in an hour, and 36 fish in 6 hours. If there aren't any big fish, I probably still won't be able to win the championship. Time is tight.
I remember last time Cui Shuran spent about three hours catching a total of 98 jin of fish. This time, I estimate he will catch the full time, which would be nearly 200 jin of fish.
I only weigh a little over 10 pounds right now.
The float bobbed twice, clearly indicating a fish was taunting him. Ye Cheng steadied himself and waited for it. As the float sank, Ye Cheng pulled the rod at the same time.
We're eating!
This one wasn't big and had relatively little strength. Ye Cheng directly hooked the fish at a 45-degree angle, and when he felt it bite firmly, he pulled on it to wear down its strength.
Sensing the other party loosen their grip, Ye Cheng suddenly lifted the rod and pulled it out of the water in one go.
Completed in one go.
These three days of intensive training were worthwhile.
A fish about 30 centimeters long, dark green with a white line on its body, dark brown on its back, and dark green fins.
This is cod, a common type of seafood, and it tastes quite good. KFC even has a cod burger.
However, the cod was a bit small, which was a pity. Ye Cheng put it in the tank and continued to cast his line.
Casting, um...
This time the swing went a bit off-center, quite a bit off.
"You can't even cast a line properly. You don't even have a solid foundation, what are you doing fishing in the wild? You might as well go fish for those fish that the owner raises in a pond." Number 26 is indeed a sarcastic player; he can mock anything.
However, this guy's skills are really good; he caught three fish, which is comparable to Ye Cheng's.
Xiao Hu also returned. He glanced at Ye Cheng's water tank, pursed his lips, and then shook his head with a helpless expression.
"Damn, you were asked to perform mime? How much did they pay you over there? Say something!"
"Bro, that idiot has already posted 5 of these, I don't think you're in for it."
"Bullshit, I'm definitely better than him."
Despite saying that, Ye Cheng cursed inwardly, "Why did you create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang? You already gave me the system, why did you create this Fishing Saint Body?"
This time, there was no movement after casting the line. Ye Cheng stood up and tugged at the line. As soon as he moved it, he saw the float suddenly sink.
Luckily, Ye Cheng reacted quickly and grabbed it, otherwise it would probably have eaten the bait and run away again.
It felt quite heavy; Ye Cheng could tell whether it was a big fish just by handling it.
This fish is no smaller than a conger eel, but I don't know what it is.
But he soon found out, because a white tail flipped up, splashed on the water's surface, and then went back down.
Silvery-white and elongated in shape, it can only be a ribbonfish.
There are two types of ribbonfish: black-eyed and yellow-eyed. Basically, those from higher latitudes are black-eyed, while those from lower latitudes are yellow-eyed. Generally speaking, the black-eyed ones taste better.
Donghai City is located in the middle, so it's hard to say whether it's black or white.
Since the ribbonfish is much smaller overall, it doesn't make as much noise when it's being stirred.
After being pulled along by Ye Cheng for a while, it flipped out of the water. It was over a meter long and ten centimeters wide, quite a large one.
"Brother, this ribbonfish looks really good!" Xiao Hu was overjoyed.
The ribbonfish is naturally silvery-white, and under the sunlight it reflects an even more dazzling light, making it look like a treasure.
"Don't just look, get me a net."
Xiao Hu then got up to get the net. Because the fish were too long, Ye Cheng had to lift the fishing rod very high to put them all in.
Ye Cheng removed the hook and examined the fish's eyes. They were black, not bad.
It's delicious whether steamed or deep-fried.
Moreover, large fish have few bones, so children don't have to worry about getting bones stuck in their throats.
(Time: 45 minutes, Fish: 4)
Seeing Ye Cheng catching fish one after another, number 26 next to him couldn't sit still any longer.
He's already amazing for getting three in such a short time, but I didn't expect this sharp-tongued guy next door to be even better, getting four.
This completely killed his interest in using magic attacks, so he switched sides and started spraying bullets at 25.
"After all this time, you've only caught one fish. What's the point of this competition? If I were you, I'd be home for dinner by now."
The sea breeze carried No. 26's words to Ye Cheng's ears. Ye Cheng was speechless. This guy really is something else. He likes to talk so much. Why doesn't he go do stand-up comedy? That's more profitable than fishing.
However, it seems he's met his match this time.
Even from a great distance, Ye Cheng could still see someone standing up over there.
Forehead...
A giant over 1.8 meters tall, as big as a mountain when he stood up, with eyes as wide as saucers, pointing at number 26.
"You dare to insult me? You're asking for it."
Number 26 was dumbfounded. "Brother Li, I thought it was someone else. I didn't know it was you. I was so confused. I was wrong."
This big guy was a well-known giant in the fishing association. If Ye Cheng hadn't interrupted him today, he wouldn't have spoken up.
Ye Cheng didn't know what the big guy Li Ge said, but he did hear the screams of number 26.
Accompanied by this pleasant sound, Ye Cheng's float moved again.
A diagonal pull, a fishbone strike—that's the feeling, that's it!
For the first time, Ye Cheng experienced what it meant to be one with the rod.
"Help! Brother Li, Brother Li, we're in a competition! Go easy on me! You're too heavy, you're crushing me!"
Ye Cheng tilted his head and saw that the other side had merged as well, and Number 26 was pinned down by Brother Li and couldn't get up.
The referees from both sides rushed over to break up the fight, and after a difficult struggle, they started complaining to number 26.
"Serves you right for talking nonsense, you got beaten up now."
Poor No. 26 watched helplessly as his float bobbed back and forth, but now it wasn't moving at all. He was feeling so miserable.
So as a mage, if you don't have Blink or Ice Block, what are you doing pulling mobs randomly?
Ye Cheng caught another fish, a black sea bream, over 30 centimeters long, quite a large one. Xiao Hu happily put it into the box.
(Time: 55 minutes, 5 fish.)
Knowing that he was still behind Cui Shuran, Ye Cheng didn't dare to delay and quickly cast his line again.
This time the cast was a bit too close, right below the rocks. I didn't know how deep the water was. Ye Cheng originally planned to lift the rod and cast again.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the float sank, and Ye Cheng lifted the rod and caught a fish.
That's right, a luck value of 90 should be like that.
The fish wasn't very big, and it didn't bite the hook very deeply.
Ye Cheng gently tugged at the line, letting it sink a little deeper, then hooked the fish, and after a few strokes, the fishing line drew a large circle on the surface of the sea before Ye Cheng pulled it up.
