I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 171: Hooked

Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Hooked

Thinking of this...

Old Liao’s head didn’t dare to fish anymore.

What if his hook got snagged by this lad’s hook like what happened to Cui Ruogou before?

He might call himself Angry Iron Hand, but in terms of strength, how could he compete with someone with Innate Divine Strength like Ye Chen? Isn’t that overestimating himself?

With that thought, he quickly reeled in his fishing rod.

In the end, he couldn’t help but curse at Ye Chen with an annoyed face.

"Good heavens, Ye Chen, what are you trying to do?"

"Don’t be ungrateful, remember who helped you when you were fishing for pythons yesterday?"

"If you’re really planning to fish for me, I..."

"I’ll never forgive you!"

Watching such a comical scene unfold, a few fishermen nearby couldn’t hold back their laughter.

They were already accustomed to the love-hate relationship between Ye Chen and Old Liao.

So many of them started teasing.

"Old Liao, reeling in your rod is useless. Maybe in a while, Teacher Ye’s hook will swing out and snag you right in the mouth!"

"Yeah, I was just wondering why Teacher Ye set the buoy so high when I was fishing, and used Jiangcheng Old Wine as bait. Turns out he was planning to catch you!"

"You’re fishing, Teacher Ye is fishing for you, so in the end, it’s pretty much the same as Teacher Ye catching a fish!"

"Hahaha, Old Liao, if I were you, I wouldn’t be scared. Don’t you always call yourself the Angry Iron Hand? Are you afraid of Teacher Ye? Even if your hooks got tangled together later, I believe in you; surely you can beat Teacher Ye."

...

Many people were egging on from the side.

Old Liao’s face turned bright red.

He quickly waved his hand, cursing discontentedly: "Get lost, what do you know?"

"Can’t a guy know when to duck trouble?"

"Don’t spout nonsense here either, I’m not the only one who loves to drink!"

"If you get dragged into the water by that lad Ye Chen later, don’t expect me to come down and save you!"

Though he talked tough,

Looking at Old Liao’s demeanor, he clearly had no intentions of continuing to fish...

Beside Ye Chen, Liao Xuexue slightly furrowed her brows, speaking with a bit of annoyance: "Ye Chen!"

"You’re going too far, bullying my grandpa. What kind of skill is that?"

Ye Chen snorted with laughter and looked at Liao Xuexue: "If I don’t bully your grandpa, should I bully you instead?"

"You!!" Liao Xuexue’s face flushed with anger, and for a moment didn’t know what to say to Ye Chen.

Moreover, the Hua Country’s language is profound and complex.

The term "bully" has one meaning on the surface, and another one beneath it.

Especially when used between members of the opposite sex.

An embarrassed and annoyed Liao Xuexue reached out with her fair little hand and gave Ye Chen’s arm a swift pinch.

"Ouch!"

Ye Chen cried out in pain, glaring indignantly at the young girl.

But who would’ve thought, Liao Xuexue turned her head away, showing a face that said, ’What can you do to me?’

After glowering at Liao Xuexue, Ye Chen chose not to stoop to her level.

Staring at the float on the water’s surface, Ye Chen smiled bitterly...

Of course,

His use of a paper cup and Jiangcheng Old Wine wasn’t intended for Old Liao.

Even though they always had a love-hate dynamic,

Everyone around knew very well

That among these fishermen, Ye Chen and Old Liao had the best relationship.

The two of them taking small advantages of each other from time to time didn’t matter, how could Ye Chen really fish for Old Liao?

The reason he said that was simply off the cuff, and to scare Liao Xuexue a bit.

Not to mention,

This girl was pretty amusing when she got angry.

Anyway, Ye Chen quite enjoyed watching her get angry.

As for what Ye Chen is preparing to fish with Jiangcheng Old Wine and a paper cup.

No need to say.

It’s naturally that so-called seventeen million worth, Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase!

And the system’s special ability "Feed Master," is precisely the hint given to Ye Chen.

To fish for the Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase, one needs to use white liquor.

Unlike tobacco, white liquor is a liquid, so after some thought, Ye Chen filled a disposable paper cup with the liquor, hung the cup on the fishing hook, and cast the line out.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was also clear.

This kind of thing was at the very bottom of the fish pond, so he adjusted the float higher, to let the fish hook reach the bottom of the pond.

By doing so.

He’d either snag the bottom of the pond, or...

He could fish up that Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase!!!

Just like that.

About half an hour passed.

The float still showed no movement.

Ye Chen was becoming somewhat impatient.

Just thinking whether he should switch to another cup of liquor, as he was about to pull up the rod, he suddenly felt a significant weight transmitted from the fishing rod.

In an instant!

Ye Chen’s spirits lifted, as expected, he must have hooked the Tang Dynasty porcelain!

He blurted out subconsciously, "Fish on!"

He then pulled the rod forcefully.

With a "whoosh!" sound.

The seven-meter-two rod instantly bent into a bow.

Simultaneously, everyone at Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, including the fishing aficionados and those media and internet celebrities there for the spectacle, turned their attention to Ye Chen.

At the same time, the live stream room stirred with excitement...

Deng Long, known as Hua Country’s Fishing King, was currently watching this scene in Ye Chen’s live stream room.

To tell the truth, even without discussing the collaboration.

Deng Long had now become somewhat captivated by Ye Chen’s live stream.

This Ye Chen’s live stream was really too entertaining.

Leaving aside that Ye Chen always fishes up unexpected things.

Even before fishing up those absurd things, the atmosphere in the live stream room is exceedingly humorous.

Simply put, it’s stress-relieving.

Deng Long is a professional fishing athlete. Every time he goes fishing, live streams, or competes.

His goal is to catch bigger fish faster or to catch as many fish as possible.

For him, fishing nowadays is far less relaxing than before.

It ended up being Ye Chen, a fishing streamer who’s never even caught a fish,

who found such joy during live streams!

This is also the main reason why Deng Long invited Ye Chen to participate in Hua Country’s fishing competition.

Speaking of which, this is somewhat contradictory.

Like other viewers in the live stream room, actually, Deng Long too hoped that Ye Chen could really catch a fish, even a fry would do, right?

But at the same time, he felt that only the Ye Chen who couldn’t catch a fish was the most amusing.

Being bad at it but still enthusiastic, this became Ye Chen’s label.

And indeed, it’s ridiculous; with each live stream, Ye Chen’s equipment kept getting upgraded.

More fishing rods, hooks, fishing baits, and various other equipment, almost rivaling his own!

Therefore, Ye Chen’s equipment had already far surpassed most anglers.

And if you talk about skills, Ye Chen indeed has some, just not much.

It’s more like some theoretical armchair strategies.

But if you say Ye Chen has no skills, the segment from yesterday with the python, if it were Deng Long instead...
