Chapter 403: Chapter 294: Want to be the Champion? Then I’ll Use a Cheat_2 Chapter 403: Chapter 294: Want to be the Champion? Then I’ll Use a Cheat_2 Next, there were some who sent him pictures or photos, asking him to evaluate whether the clothes looked good or if a penguin should be added.

As if! Was Chu Mingcheng that kind of person?

He completely ignored them!

Last were the few who came looking to collaborate. These businesses were all tackle manufacturers.

At the time, Chu Mingcheng was quite thrilled. He too had endorsements coming his way.

But when he checked the products, they were all uncertified.

That quickly dampened his enthusiasm, so he essentially ignored them all.

However, today was different. He noticed that his fans were all asking whether deep-sea fishing was truly profitable.

Many fans were even discussing this in the comments section of his videos, with some using him as an example.

Some analyzed the income from his catch shown in his videos. Not to mention anything else, but just from upgrading from a small boat to a big boat, one could guess how much he had earned.

Chu Mingcheng furrowed his brows; the organizer’s minor intention had been achieved.

The leaderboard that openly displayed the income had already caught many people’s attention.

In six days, the top earner grossed nearly half a million. Those in the know did the math, and could tell that the boat captain had tearfully made at least four hundred thousand, at minimum.

And from the second place onward, although the earnings steeply dropped, making over a hundred thousand in a week, and even those ranked much lower still made tens of thousands.

These hard numbers, who wouldn’t be drawn in?

And everyone knew that fishing competitions had many restrictions. If one could use nets and various other tools, the earnings would be even higher.

Many shrewd people thought they had discovered a new high-income profession, believing that the earnings from fishing at sea far surpassed ordinary jobs.

As long as they too went out to sea to fish, they could definitely have beauties by their side, reaching the pinnacle of life.

Wasn’t the person who got second place just like that?

Thus, the topic of whether one could really make money at sea was currently being discussed too heatedly. It had topped a certain blog’s hot search, sitting in the first place, just right above a collapsing celebrity scandal.

Yet, the vast majority overlooked that out of three hundred boats that went to sea, only about thirty didn’t lose money, not even filling up the fifty shown on the leaderboard.

Only a few people could understand this situation, and some even popularized it.

Unfortunately, faced with such stark numbers, many people simply didn’t want to believe it, or rather, they deluded themselves.

The majority of those following Chu Mingcheng’s account were such people.

So, he switched to Jiang Luoluo’s account to check, and found that the situation there was much the same.

Should he reply and explain? At this moment, Chu Mingcheng was somewhat hesitant.

He didn’t really care about his own account, since posting videos was just for fun, and later his account had even been taken over by Jiang Luoluo’s studio.

Usually, the studio helped post videos. He occasionally checked in, but generally didn’t interact with fans, maintaining a rather aloof persona.

Only fans who wanted to buy fish from him had the chance to join a group and get further in touch with him.

Fans in the group could probably guess he made a lot of money, and as for high-quality customers, they were even more aware.

Every time Chu Mingcheng wanted to sell fish, he directly posted the catch in the group, and everyone knew the price.

But generally, customers in the premium group were quite well off and were aware of the general situation of fishermen, so they were actually the quietest, not at all dazzled by the high income shown on the leaderboard.

Chu Mingcheng opened the group to check and found that they were just joking about the whole thing.

Since Jiang Luoluo’s account was very important, he didn’t want someone with an agenda to cause trouble.

But after considering for a long time, he ultimately felt there was no need to respond. A cold treatment would suffice.

Even if he explained, others might not believe it.

Fishing was indeed somewhat more profitable than ordinary jobs and even came with several thousand in subsidies from the state each year, but the hardship involved was not something everyone could handle.

Many who had suffered losses would naturally understand. If one could persist, it could indeed turn into a decent occupation.

Given the boost from his social status, making a living from fishing was completely feasible, and for families struggling with poverty and able to endure hardships, it definitely was a good career.

But coastal fishermen stuck together, and outsiders netting fish would definitely face exclusion unless they only fished like Chu Mingcheng.

This kind of work was not something most people could do; breaking even was already noteworthy.

“What are you looking at so intently?” Jiang Luoluo had just finished a phone call, saw him staring fixedly at his phone, and couldn’t help but lean over curiously to look at the screen.

“It’s nothing, just a huge bunch of fans privately messaging me, asking whether making money from fishing at sea is lucrative. The fishing competition leaderboard issue, it’s already trending.” Chu Mingcheng came back to his senses and handed her the phone as he spoke.

Jiang Luoluo glanced at the private messages and then asked, “Do you plan to reply?”

Chu Mingcheng shook his head: “I feel it’s not right for me to talk about this, but your account is also getting a lot of questions. I’m worried that if you don’t reply, your account might get misled and cause some people to unfollow.”

“To say it’s not profitable, I have already made money, and some fans have even deduced this from my videos.”

“To say it’s profitable, I’m afraid some fans might blindly follow, only to end up not only not making money but also in debt. That would actually be harmful, so I don’t know what to say. Better to just leave it cold!”

“Besides, I usually don’t interact much with fans, so not responding won’t really matter.”

Normally, Chu Mingcheng’s approach wasn’t a problem.

But Jiang Luoluo thought about what her dad had just said, considering if she could subtly hint at the various pros and cons of fishing at sea.
