Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Old Liao Catches a Fish

"Just because he is a ’big brother’, but today we are consumers, and this is a deception against consumers!"

Upon seeing many angered elderly men before him, Ye Chen pressed his hand down, signaling to everyone.

"Since the owner stated that the fishing positions are arranged by the pond on behalf of the anglers, that’s their rule, so let’s follow their rule."

"Moreover, I’ve just observed, this fishing pond is not small, and their oxygenation pumps are not very big. Since we came in, those fishermen on the opposite bank haven’t lifted their rods."

"It’s very likely that the power of the oxygenation pumps in this pond is insufficient, causing oxygen deprivation for the fish, which would naturally gather near where the oxygen is being pumped."

"This might also be a blessing in disguise!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the old men were stunned.

Half-believing and half-doubting, they began to observe the fishing pond and the anglers on the opposite bank.

After about a few minutes, they indeed noticed that those fishermen hardly showed any movement of lifting their rods.

Firstly, it indicated that the feeding activity in the pond was poor, and secondly, it confirmed that what Teacher Ye said might be true.

And this conclusion was also drawn by Ye Chen through his observations since entering.

This unscrupulous boss, his heart must have become black by now, right?

Ye Chen felt a mix of contemplation and disdain as he curled his lips.

Thus, comforted by Ye Chen, the more than twenty old men returned to their respective fishing spots.

Liao Xuexue was also holding a small stool, sitting next to Ye Chen.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and the elderly members of the Jiang City River squad resumed their pre-fishing ritual.

Ye Chen again took out a compass and paper money.

He also placed the urn at his feet.

Taking out a lighter, he ignited the paper before tossing it into the copper bowl.

The paper remnants fluttered in the wind at this place.

Immediately after, the twenty or so old men began to imitate Ye Chen, muttering to themselves and praying to the fish pond with sincere faith.

"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body."

"Disciple’s soul, the dark essence of the five organs."

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, ranks arrayed in splendor."

"Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, guards attending my truth."

"Urgently, as if it were a decree!"

The crowd followed Ye Chen’s chant, reciting it in this place.

And in the pond, inside a wooden plank room.

The pond boss, Wang Long, glimpsed this scene through the window, and the corner of his eye twitched fiercely.

Were these people here to fish, or to perform a ritual?

To be honest, he was surprised that Ye Chen agreed to the extortionate fishing spot fee of 200,000 yuan.

Recently, Ye Chen had not been absent from trending searches, even appearing in news bulletins.

He did not wish for such an internet celebrity as Ye Chen to come to his fish pond.

After all, his previous deeds were not so honorable, and he did not want to be famous on the internet.

As the saying goes, ’a person dreads fame as a pig dreads fattening,’ especially those involved in the underground forces who are even less willing to stand out.

But after his price gouging, Ye Chen still agreed to pay him the exorbitant fishing spot fee.

This had put him in a difficult position.

To tell the truth, since washing his hands of those previous activities.

He has been barely able to sustain his underlings with this fishing pond.

But business has been getting worse recently, and they could only tighten their belts to live.

As for the 20,000 yuan offered by Ye Chen, he hesitated repeatedly but ultimately decided to let Ye Chen come in to fish.

However, Wang Long didn’t expect this.

Because of his greed for profit, he eventually found himself in an irredeemable situation...

Meanwhile.

Following the ritual on the riverbank, Ye Chen and the others began baiting their hooks and preparing their fishing lines, hooks, and other equipment.

Ye Chen planned to make use of the six hours he had, attempting to catch some fish first.

After all, if he caught the box of Gold later on, he would definitely need to contact the authorities, and there would be no more time for fishing.

Hmm, let’s focus on fishing first!

So, he began to set up his fishing line and hook.

Knowing that there were only big catches in this pond, he specifically used an 8.0 mainline and a 6.5 lead line.

The hook he chose was also a large Iseama hook, to make sure he could confidently catch the big ones in the water.

Wherever there’s a child who cries every day, is there a fisherman who comes home empty-handed every day?

Ye Chen also planned to try catching a giant one here to shed his reputation as the commander of the air force.

But while dreams are full, reality is often very lean.

After Liao Xuexue finished preparing the bait, she began to help Ye Chen chum the water with a feeding spoon.

Ye Chen, eager to begin, cast out his fishing rod immediately.

However, after he cast the line, his fishing float just lay there motionless.

About ten minutes later, with a familiar cry of "Oh my god!" from old Liao,

He had a bite, going straight for a black float!

Everyone got excited, and the old men of the Jiang City River squad focused their attention on old Liao.

Even Ye Chen watched old Liao with great interest.

This old guy was always the first to get a bite among their squad.

It seemed like his reputation for being fast was well-earned...

"Black float, it’s a black float!" Old Zhang shouted excitedly.

With a ’whoosh’ and a pleasing sound of the line being cut through the air,

Old Liao felt the power transmitted through the fishing rod.

His expression shifted from shock to excitement.

"Oh my god!"

"This fish must weigh at least ten pounds!"

Old Liao exclaimed as his fishing rod bent into a beautiful arc.

"Do you need help?" Ye Chen smirked, looking at old Liao who was less than ten meters away, and casually asked.

Who knew, old Liao would wave his hand and said seriously with a frown, "Are you kidding? Don’t you know what my nickname was when I was young?"

"Angry Iron Hand!"

"Bring me that fish!"

Old Liao roared, then positioned himself in a horse stance, gave a powerful tug on the rod, and pulled a large grass carp straight out of the water!

Looking at the grass carp that weighed about ten pounds plus, old Liao was thrilled.

After showing off to the others, he tossed the grass carp into his keepnet.

But the owner of this fishpond was indeed a bit mean.

Their spot on the bank was at least six meters above the water level.

Dropping fish back into the keepnet from this height could be fatal for fish with frail physiques.

And there were requirements for the length of the keepnet; if yours was too short, there would simply be no place to put the fish.

Fortunately, this group was composed of seasoned fishermen who had prepared sufficiently long keepnets.

The hefty grass carp slid down old Liao’s long keepnet and splashed back into the water.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was filled with a competitive spirit.

Damn it, if old Liao can catch a big grass carp, I need to step up my game.
