Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Featured in Central Media

Ye Chen gave Liao Xuexue a resentful glance and slowly said, "I was just speaking the truth earlier, who knew that Grandpa Liao’s precious granddaughter would pinch me!"

"You’re so old, how can you still pinch people!"

After saying that, Ye Chen rolled up his sleeves to show everyone his "injured" arm.

Liao Xuexue looked at Ye Chen’s arm.

There was nothing unusual, it was just as black as before!

But with Ye Chen’s words, all the old men at the table started to chime in.

"Teacher Ye, have you ever heard the saying, ’A beating is love, scolding is affection’?"

"Boss and Madam Boss, don’t believe Grandpa Liao’s bragging. Today while fishing for pythons, it was Xuexue who was worried about Teacher Ye and stayed by his side the whole time!"

"You don’t know, people on the shore were saying you two are dealing with public hazards, calling you heroes. Some even gave you a title, calling you Divine Fishing Couple!"

...

Ye Chen’s eyes twitched slightly.

Damn, this group of people’s imaginations are really wild.

Divine Fishing Couple indeed...

However, what Ye Chen didn’t expect this time was.

Even though everyone was teasing him and Liao Xuexue, Grandpa Liao just smirked.

He seemed like he wanted to say something, but ended up not saying it.

As for Liao Xuexue, her face just turned red.

Not sure if it was because she was genuinely scared by the python by the shore, or because of the teasing from everyone.

Following that, the table was filled with laughter.

Especially the old men, who unusually drank some local spirit from the restaurant.

After three rounds of drinks, the conversations grew livelier.

But most people were just feeling grateful for following Teacher Ye, as they were no longer worried about lacking good fishing spots.

"I think, our little team from Jiang City River should rely on Teacher Ye to become famous through the ages!"

"Look at what you’re saying, what does ’rely’ mean? We are already close to becoming famous through the ages!"

"That’s right, who knows, maybe after going home, we can see ourselves on TV. Today I saw quite a few reporters with microphones interviewing at the site!"

"I propose a toast to Teacher Ye. We’ve indeed basked in his glory, and now we already have two free fishing spots with good catch rates!"

"Two free fishing spots? Which two are those?"

"One is the Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, and the other is the artificial lake in Jinbao Community! You know, the fish in Jinbao Community’s artificial lake are not less than those found in some private ponds!"

"Exactly, the next time we go to Jinbao Community, considering the reputation of our Jiang City River team, won’t the people there welcome us with banners?"

"That’s right, especially the Haina Baichuan Fish Pond! Our Teacher Ye is the King of Fishing there!"

"Right, Teacher Ye, are you going to the Haina Baichuan Fish Pond again tomorrow? What are you planning to catch this time?"

"Look at what you’re saying, what does ’catch something’ mean, can’t our Teacher Ye just catch a fish?"

...

Everyone had lively conversations, each speaking one after another.

And just then.

The TV inside the barbecue restaurant was showing the news on Channel 13 of the central media.

On the TV, suddenly a standard broadcaster’s voice appeared.

"Good evening, dear viewers."

"Good evening."

"Today is Thursday, December 1, the nineteenth day of the eleventh lunar month."

"Welcome to tonight’s news program, today’s content includes..."

...

A few old men were surprised, "Wow, it’s already seven o’clock, the news is starting."

Soon, a voice came from the TV.

"Recently, a giant python was spotted in the artificial lake of a residential area in Jiang City."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes twitched fiercely, and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

This incident made it to the central media?

Suddenly.

The entire small restaurant fell silent.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at the TV screen in astonishment.

Quickly.

The TV showed the footage of Ye Chen fishing for the giant python.

In the news, it mentioned that the giant python appeared a few days ago, causing the event at Jinbao Community to go viral online.

Finally, the screen switched to a reporter interviewing an animal expert.

"This giant python is known as a Green Water Python."

"The Green Water Python found in Jiang City is 10.28 meters long and weighs 537 kilograms, which is exceptionally rare among Green Water Pythons."

"In fact, Green Water Pythons are not commonly seen in our Hua Country; they are typically found in tropical jungle regions, and of course, in the southern parts of our country."

"If you encounter this type of Green Water Python, do not panic. If not provoked, they will not attack humans."

"Moreover, Green Water Pythons are class II protected animals in our country. If discovered, please immediately report to the police or contact the local Animal Protection Association."

"As for this Green Water Python, we will release it into a wild area in the south of Hua Country."

The reporter then nodded and continued speaking into the camera: "We have also learned that this Green Water Python was hidden in the artificial lake of a community."

"After three days of attempts, the fishing team failed to catch it; it was an angler who managed to fish it out."

"Online rumors suggest that this angler is a descendant of the Heavenly Master Sect, who used Mysticism for fishing."

"Regarding this, let’s hear from the experts."

The experts also shared their views.

"Green Water Python is a type of Water Snake, and giant pythons with similar sizes are widely found in the Southeast Country."

"There exists a traditional capturing method."

"People would wrap their legs with cloth smothered in herbal medicine, then probe into the python’s cave using their legs."

"Generally, if a python resides in the cave, it will bite onto the person’s legs."

"By pulling the person out of the cave, the python inside can be captured."

"So, fishing for giant pythons, although unusual, is not unheard of."

"Moreover, fishing for giant pythons involves some luck."

"With courage and strength added in, all these factors together contributed to his successful catch of the Green Water Python."

"Ultimately, whether fishing or capturing pythons, it all falls under hunting."

"Not only in our Hua Country, but throughout the world, human hunting history is quite extensive."
