Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Crowned the Fishing King of the Pond, Ending the Battle

Soon, Ye Chen snapped back to his senses.

However, the goofy grin on his face remained entirely unmasked.

Liao Xuexue, who was next to him, got a case of the goosebumps. She instinctively hugged the gosling tight in her arms, eyeing Ye Chen warily: "You just said you’d give the gosling to me, you’re not regretting it now, are you?"

"I’ve even thought of a name for it!"

Ye Chen was taken aback, but he quickly realized that the little girl had misunderstood him.

A very pleased Ye Chen teased the gosling in Liao Xuexue’s arms and said with a smile: "Am I the sort of person who doesn’t keep his word?"

"Yes..." Liao Xuexue nodded vigorously.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her. It seems he really should pay more attention to his image in the future.

After all, he was about to become the everlasting King of Fishing!

Ye Chen cleared his throat: "If I said I’d give it to you, then naturally it’s yours."

"What’s the name of this not-so-bright gosling?"

Liao Xuexue’s mouth quirked up, and a mischievous smile spread across her face: "Well, don’t get mad at me, okay!"

Ye Chen waved it off with a laugh: "Not mad, not mad!"

"It’s called ’Silly Big Goose that Can’t Catch Fish!’"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, murmuring the name Liao Xuexue had given: "Silly Big Goose that Can’t Catch Fish?"

"Damn it!"

"You watch, I’ll get fired up in a bit and stew it in an iron pot!"

Of course, Ye Chen was just talking big.

Although he often had mischievous ideas, he wouldn’t really hold a grudge against a silly goose.

However, the name "Silly Big Goose that Can’t Catch Fish" was indeed a strong insult to Ye Chen.

This matter, of course, would be remembered as Liao Xuexue’s doing.

After all, she’d only been his assistant for two days, and there were still five days left for this little girl to carry the bucket and bait the spot for him.

In the following period, Ye Chen simply continued to make fishing bait and cast his rod to fish.

The Marked Fish he had almost caught earlier didn’t just bring rewards from the system.

That fish made Ye Chen realize something.

Despite having this particularly ridiculous dorky system.

He could still catch the fish that were meant to be caught.

After all, with that Marked Fish just earlier, Ye Chen was only a step away from catching it.

The path of angling still stretched out far ahead for Ye Chen.

He wouldn’t be defeated by such a minor setback.

Time passed by...

And ultimately, it confirmed a truth.

You’re thinking too much...

The fish bites in the Haina Baichuan Fish Pond were indeed very good.

Whether it was those uncles who came with Ye Chen or other fishing enthusiasts, they all had a blast.

Big fish, small fish, everyone had quite the haul.

Of course, except for Ye Chen.

In the time that followed, Ye Chen still didn’t catch a single fish.

Moreover, while casting his line, Ye Chen’s fishing bait caught the eye of the fish pond owner’s duck.

With a direct sprint, it plunged into the water and bit onto Ye Chen’s fishing hook.

This duck became the fourth thing that Ye Chen managed to fish up today.

Seeing this scene, it made the group of anglers at the fish pond and the audience in the live stream room burst into laughter.

And Ye Chen also understood that probably because of the system’s "Bird Capture" feature, the duck got hooked.

At the same time, it had also reached lunchtime.

Regarding this duck, Ye Chen was not as merciful as he had been with the previous silly goose.

Ye Chen simply had the owner’s wife take the duck away to become everyone’s meal on the plate at noon.

For most fishing ponds, to entertain anglers,

pond owners would prepare some snacks, boxed lunches and the like, to solve the anglers’ dining problems.

However, today Ye Chen was regarded as a VIP, so naturally the pond owners could not afford to neglect them.

In addition to stewing the duck that Ye Chen caught at noon, they also stewed a big fish that Old Liao had caught.

Furthermore, the owners’ wife and the owner prepared a lavish lunch for Ye Chen and his group.

All the other anglers eating their boxed lunches could only salivate at the sight!

After eating their fill, the fishing continued!

In the afternoon, not long after, the gold-plated plaque that the owner had ordered over the phone was delivered to the pond.

Originally, Ye Chen thought it would just be a small sign about the same size as a pennant.

But what he didn’t expect was,

the owner had actually ordered a huge signboard taller than Ye Chen himself.

Under the operation of the advertising company’s staff, the dazzling gold signboard was placed in the most eye-catching position of the pond.

As people passed by, several large characters were written on it in red regular script,

"Celebrating Ye Chen for catching the Marked Fish of this pond, bestowing upon him the honorary title of King of Fishing for the year at Haina Baichuan Pond!"

Generally speaking, these Black Ponds would only select the angler who caught the Marked Fish of the day.

And they would be known as the Black Crown.

Which is the champion of the Black Pond!

But the text on this gold signboard was indeed confirming that Ye Chen had caught the pond’s Marked Fish, not just any marked fish!

The owner even directly awarded Ye Chen with the honorary title King of Fishing.

It’s clear to see just how much the owner was kissing up.

But all in all, with Ye Chen’s current fame, this signboard would probably become a check-in spot for the pond in the future.

At the same time, Ye Chen really liked this honorary title of King of Fishing.

However, there was one ridiculous thing,

in the afternoon, as the newly-titled King of Fishing from Haina Baichuan, Ye Chen still had not caught a single fish.

But besides fish, Ye Chen did have other catches.

Still, it was just a Water Snake, a pair of water boots, and a trash bag.

Among these catches, only the Water Snake was added to Ye Chen’s keepnet, just like that red string symbolizing Ye Chen’s identity as the King of Fishing!

By the time it was 5 o’clock,

other than Ye Chen, the other anglers could be said to have had a bountiful harvest.

But what surprised the owner was,

although they promised plenty of discounts and benefits to Ye Chen and his group, the group of elderly men who came with Ye Chen were not willing to take too much advantage of the owner and his wife.

Each one chose the biggest fish to take home to show off.

As for the rest of the fish, they didn’t even accept the payment for the fish that the owners had prepared for them.

According to these old men,

the owners had stocked 15,000 jin of fish and even provided them with a sumptuous lunch at noon, also waiving the fee for the fishing spot.

Just taking one big fish home each was a way to show gratitude to the owners.

How could they take so much advantage?

And Ye Chen...

He indeed wanted to take home a big fish, but he hadn’t caught any big fish!

Watching the other anglers who came here with him, each carrying a big fish on their back,

Ye Chen felt extremely disappointed at this moment!

At this time, the owner also expressed that if Ye Chen was willing, he could also get a big fish and take it home.

He even said that Ye Chen could take several home, perhaps even enough to fill the back of a tricycle!
