I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Choosing the Battlefield

"In the video, Xue Tiezhu said that the location of this fish pond is very particular; the fishing spots are too high above the water surface, plus the fish inside are all huge, which leads to such a high rate of rod bursting."

"Indeed, I’ve come across Xue Tiezhu the streamer’s videos recently, but I really don’t fancy him. His style is just mimicking Zeng Jupen, always spinning dark pits. He spun this Golden Peak Mountain dark pit, too, but it seems like he failed in the end?"

"I saw that episode. Xue Tiezhu did indeed have his rod burst, but... @Old Liao, the Golden Peak Mountain Fish Pond is not cheap. It charges 500 yuan for three hours. That’s not affordable for us!"

"Even though the fee is expensive, the boss offers a high price for buying back the fish. Didn’t you see in Cui Ruogou’s video? If you catch a silver carp or bighead carp over twenty jin, the boss buys it back on the spot for 200 yuan each! If you catch three silver or bighead carps over ten jin each within three hours, then it’s not a loss!"

"It’s hard to say, who knows if they’ve stocked the pond recently. If there isn’t a single silver or bighead carp over ten jin, wouldn’t we still suffer a huge loss if we go?"

"That’s true. For such huge dark pits, the water is very deep, and with such exorbitant fees, we might end up with a big loss!"

"I’ve got not much left of my pension this month, I can’t afford it. You guys go ahead and battle it out tomorrow!"

...

Upon hearing Old Liao’s suggestion to go to the dark pit at Golden Peak Mountain tomorrow, the old men in the group started sharing their opinions.

Most of the old men felt that there was no need to go to such an expensive place, despite the high buy-back price offered by the boss.

After all, their main purpose for fishing is leisure, and going to that place would obviously be a waste.

Let’s not even mention the high buy-back price the pond owner offers—if the pond doesn’t have any silver or bighead carp over ten jin as some people claim, then what?

Moreover, Golden Peak Mountain is some distance away from Jiang City.

If this group of people rides their little electric scooters, it will take at least forty minutes.

After getting there, they can’t just fish for three hours and leave.

They’ll have to fish at least for six hours to make it worth the trip.

Otherwise, they’d be making a big trip just to fish for three hours?

What a joke.

But if they don’t catch any silver or bighead carp over ten jin in those six hours,

wouldn’t they be losing a thousand yuan?

There are more than twenty people in the whole Jiang City River Squad.

Together, that adds up to more than twenty thousand yuan!

For a moment, nobody could make up their minds, as this wasn’t a small sum.

Each old man has a pension, but most of them have their pensions controlled by their spouses.

Spending a thousand yuan on fishing is indeed somewhat extravagant!

At the same time, Ye Chen was also quite uncertain about this matter.

One reason is that the fishing spot fee is too expensive, and another is that he has no confidence in catching fish...

If he ends up empty-handed, wouldn’t that be a terrible loss?

Don’t think Ye Chen has some money now and is making a pile every day. He certainly wouldn’t do something like throwing money away for nothing.

Just as everyone in the group decided to let Old Liao think of another fishing spot,

Old Liao suddenly spoke up in the group chat.

Old Liao: "What’s with all this hesitating and fretting? Have you guys forgotten that we’d be going with Teacher Ye?"

Old Liao: "Going with Teacher Ye, the fish pond owner wouldn’t just waive our fee. At the very least, they would have to show some respect to Teacher Ye, right?"

Old Liao: "Think about it, when have we been at a loss when we went fishing in dark pits with Teacher Ye?"

After Old Liao’s speech, the group fell silent.

The group of old men were all deep in thought.

Indeed...

Going to the black pits with Teacher Ye, it seemed like they always snagged quite a few advantages.

Take Haina Baichuan Fish Pond for example.

Every time they went, the fish pond owners would waive the pit fees for them, and then even provide them with a free lunch, right?

Even when leaving, the fish they caught could all be taken away by them!

Thinking of this, quite a few people became excited.

There’s a saying: only a fool would refuse a freebie!

Now, Teacher Ye is arguably the hottest fishing streamer on the net.

Teacher Ye visiting Golden Peak Mountain Pond would definitely serve a promotional purpose, as long as the owner is someone who knows how to deal with people.

They would surely think about offering them some benefits, at the very least waiving the pit fees.

By that time, if they catch carp or silver carp over ten pounds, wouldn’t that be mooching for free?

For a moment, Old Zhang could no longer suppress his excitement.

Old Zhang: "Damn! How did I forget about this? You’re right, those black pit owners would love for Teacher Ye to visit their pits; it will certainly serve as promotion for their pits. By that time, the owners will definitely give us some benefits!"

Old Lin: "Like the saying goes: only a fool would refuse a freebie. If you ask me, going to investigate this so-called Burst Pole Land tomorrow isn’t a bad idea at all!"

Old Jin: "Indeed, I wholeheartedly agree. If that’s the case, tomorrow I’ll bring a specialized big fish rod!"

Old Liao: "@Ye Chen, Teacher Ye, what do you think about this? How about we go to Golden Peak Mountain Pond tomorrow and have a go at the big fish?"

Ye Chen saw the messages Old Liao sent in the group and couldn’t help but smirk.

This Old Liao really knew how to hang a sheep’s head and sell dog meat.

This shrewd old man, where was he taking advantage of the fish pond owner? Clearly, he was taking advantage of himself!

Why?

The owners waive the pit fees on account of his own fame.

But doesn’t he still have to advertise and promote for them?

In the end, it’s still a hassle for himself.

Though it’s just a matter of mentioning it in the live stream room, Ye Chen still felt that Old Liao’s scheming was a bit too audible.

However, hearing these old men talk about Golden Peak Mountain Pond being a Burst Pole Land,

Ye Chen couldn’t help but become interested.

After all, his current rods were basically all high-end rods.

In the fishing gear room of this villa’s basement, there wasn’t a single rod worth less than five figures.

Want to break his rods?

What a joke!

Watching the group of old men speaking so vividly,

Ye Chen couldn’t help but start to fantasize in his mind about the surprised expressions of these old men when he caught a big fish tomorrow.

No time like the present!

Ye Chen: "Okay, let’s go to Golden Peak Mountain Pond tomorrow. Let’s meet there at 9:30 am."

Ye Chen: "If you’re riding electric scooters there, please be careful. There are quite a few large vehicles on that national highway, so ride slowly."

Old Liao: "@Ye Chen, Teacher Ye, you don’t have to worry about us. Our little scooters are way more agile than your tricycle!"
