Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Saving a Life is More Meritorious Than Building a Seven-Story Pagoda

"Ah, can’t catch any fish, so annoying, oh..."

"Other than the fish, I can catch everything, but just can’t seem to get any fish, oh..."

"Uh, how about, Teacher Ye, you lend me your fishing rod for a try?"

"We’ll split the fish we catch equally..."

Ye Chen, feeling annoyed, waved his hand dismissively: "Go on, don’t bother me, just keep working on your baiting."

"It must be because you did a poor job baiting, that’s why no fish are coming!"

Liao Xuexue got really angry when she heard this.

Good grief, what does this have to do with me?

Are you blaming the earth for not having gravity because you can’t poop?

After giving Liao Xuexue a white-eyed glance, Ye Chen then got distracted by an exclamation from Old Liao, "Oh my mother."

Turns out, this old guy caught another fish...

This really made Ye Chen’s teeth itch with irritation, this old guy, don’t go by his usual frivolous demeanor.

But to be honest, the guy really has some serious fishing skills, it’s no wonder he’s called Angry Iron Hand...

Another twenty minutes passed...

Ye Chen still hadn’t caught even a hair.

At this moment, the dean of students came down the slope with a few boys, carrying several bags of stuff to the shallow water behind Ye Chen.

He shouted, "Teacher Ye, gentlemen, it’s lunchtime. I’ve arranged four dishes and a soup for you guys, plenty to eat today!"

With the dean’s shout, the morning fishing session of the small Jiang City River squad also came to an end.

These old men couldn’t wait to grab their portion of the boxed lunches, then they sat at their fishing spots and dug in.

Especially Old Liao, he was eating with loud "hmms," and by his expression, it wasn’t just any boxed lunch but seemed like some exquisite delicacies.

Old Liao thought to himself, this free stuff really tastes best!

Liao Xuexue also brought a boxed lunch for Ye Chen, and the two sat on the stools by the riverbank and began eating.

Although it was early autumn, it was still noon and the sun was blazing hot.

Seeing that everyone had been served their boxed lunches, the dean mysteriously came up to Ye Chen with a smile.

"Teacher Ye, I really can’t thank you enough today. I just went to the infirmary, and student Gan Lu is just a bit cold, nothing serious."

Ye Chen nodded and didn’t say much, but Liao Xuexue was relieved to hear that her roommate Gan Lu was alright.

At this moment, the dean chuckled, showing his big yellow teeth with a mysterious air, "Teacher Ye, to thank you for saving our student, the school leaders specifically asked me to present you with a silk banner, ta-da!"

After saying this, the dean magically pulled out a silk banner from behind him.

Ye Chen twitched at the corner of his eye when he saw the banner.

As for Liao Xuexue next to him, she even sprayed out the rice she was eating.

Meanwhile, the millions of netizens in the live stream room were laughing uncontrollably.

The red triangular silk banner displayed several gilded characters.

"Saving a life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda!"

"Damn, that’s ridiculous!"

Watching Ye Chen’s twitching eye, Liao Xuexue couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Not far from Ye Chen, Old Liao also teased, "Mr. Ye, you’ve really received quite a few banners lately!"

Ye Chen pursed his lips and looked at the director in front of him with a surprised look.

"I mean, can’t we change the way of rewards? Giving me some money would also be fine, right?"

Hearing this, the director chuckled awkwardly, pointed at the two banners hanging from Ye Chen’s umbrella, and said, "Hehe, I think Mr. Ye likes the banners, so the school leaders decided to give you one..."

"As for the rewards... well, the school’s budget is quite tight at the moment, so..."

Seeing the director’s troubled face, Ye Chen waved his hand: "Forget it, do good deeds without asking about the future!"

After that, Ye Chen went on to eat his boxed meal with a sage-like demeanor, sitting on a small stool.

The audience in the live stream room, seeing the banner and Ye Chen’s comical realization of not receiving money, started to tease.

"Hahaha, I can’t stop laughing, ’Do good deeds without asking about the future,’ was Mr. Ye feeling guilty when he said that?"

"Don’t say, saving a life with fishing is better than building a seven-level pagoda, this banner is quite apt!"

"Seriously, Mr. Ye did save a life with a fishing rod, worthy of being a university man, indeed skilled!"

"But in the end, isn’t Mr. Ye still the Air Force? Mr. Ye, looking at your empty keepnet, doesn’t it hurt you?"

"The guy above doesn’t know crap, Mr. Ye is turning sorrow into appetite, can’t catch fish, so he just eats vigorously!"

...

After finishing his meal, Ye Chen chatted briefly with the director, who then left to get back to work.

Meanwhile, the Jiang City River team had their fill as well.

When the time reached one in the afternoon, everyone quickly started preparing for a new round of fishing.

This time was the best for sunlight, fishing during this period was more likely as, with the warmer water temperature, both fish and other aquatic organisms tended to be more active.

Moreover, when the water warmed up, the fishing bait entering the water could penetrate better and thus attract the fish.

Ye Chen was naturally not easily discouraged, he always had a feeling that he could catch a real fish today.

Although this feeling had been going on for over a month now, he believed that with faith in his heart, someday he would catch a fish...

At this moment, Ye Chen glanced at the live stream room on his phone, where the number of viewers was steady at around 1.4 million.

He looked at the teasing danmaku, smirked, and then slowly said.

"Laugh?"

"I see you guys laughing."

"Let me tell you, I, Ye Chen, will definitely catch a fish today. The bite is so good, I don’t believe I can’t even catch a small crucian carp!"

After speaking, Ye Chen looked towards Liao Xuexue, who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, furrowed his brow, and said, "Bait the spot!"

Liao Xuexue, pouting like a little scholar, sat beside, kneading and casting the bait.

Seeing this scene, Old Liao pursed his lips: "I say, young Ye, you’ve baited so many spots already, if you continue, the downstream will start to flood!"

"You are probably not here to fish, but to feed the fish, truly—a philanthropist!"

Following Old Liao’s teasing, the other old men of the Jiang City River team couldn’t hold back their eagerness to tease Ye Chen either.
