I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 308: Casting the First Rod

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Casting the First Rod

Hearing the boss lady announce that as long as they follow Ye Chen’s Quick-Dou account and are his fans, they can still get half price just like before.

This made the fans in the live stream room feel like they got a great deal, and they felt very proud.

Of course, some fans who were new followers had some conspiracy theories in their heads, it’s not that they’re haters, they just voiced their doubts.

However, such statements were quickly drowned out by the barrage of messages from other fans.

"Additionally, Mr. Ye, there’s another thing."

"Our newly opened Haina Baichuan Fish Pond owes a lot to you, so we’ve all agreed that you must be the one to cast the first line!"

"That’s right, Mr. Ye, you must not refuse. If you don’t cast the first line, we won’t be open for business today," said the boss with a smile.

"Everyone agrees, right?"

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned for a few seconds.

Me, cast the first line?

A familiar feeling overwhelmed him.

This boss lady and her enthusiasm are just too much!

This reminded Ye Chen of his first time fishing at Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, where the boss lady and the boss greeted him at the entrance, not only with a banner but also setting off firecrackers.

But this time, the welcome he received was even more grand, not only with salute fireworks but also girls performing a hot dance.

Now, being asked to cast the first line for the opening of this fish pond.

This made Ye Chen feel quite honored.

But on second thought, it made sense.

After all, Ye Chen now has tens of millions of followers, and streaming live at the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond essentially provides free advertising for them.

And not charging any advertising fees definitely requires giving high regard.

After thinking it through, Ye Chen, acknowledging their good intentions, did not refuse.

"Then I’d like to thank the boss lady for her kindness!"

Not only is today free, but also from now on.

Ye Chen didn’t hold back.

After all, this was also essentially a tacit deal with the boss.

This is a benefit gained by his current fan base.

As the saying goes, a fool would not take advantage of the opportunities offered.

At this moment, old Liao and a few others returned from setting off fireworks and also heard what the boss lady had said, unable to hide their smiles.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Ye’s popularity to be growing bigger; it looks like we can fish for free from now on."

"Our Jiang City River squad is really in demand!"

"Then today, I, Furious Iron Hand, should really give it my all!"

"Old Liao, let’s make a bet today and see who catches the most fish!"

Hearing the words "make a bet," Old Liao’s psychological shadow was immediately triggered.

He subconsciously looked at his granddaughter, couldn’t help shaking his head, and said, "By the heavens! Old Liao and gambling are sworn enemies!"

Old Li and the others didn’t let Old Liao off easily.

Seeing his glance towards Liao Xuexue, they couldn’t help but secretly snicker.

Ever since Old Liao lost several bets to Ye Chen, he has despised gambling deeply!

Watching him speak, he even stretched out four fingers, which could make someone think he was taking an oath if they didn’t know better.

Not only did Old Li and the others secretly chuckle, but they even caught a slip in Old Liao’s words.

"Old Liao, you’re not being honest!"

"Just feel the same way, you swore to take gambling and drugs head-on, but what about pornography?"

"You wouldn’t be cheating on your spouse, would you?"

"Hold your horses, you better not talk nonsense, or I’ll sue you for defamation!"

Old Liao instantly felt his back soaked with cold sweat.

If his spouse heard this, he would be in huge trouble!

Old Li and the others had spent quite some time with Old Liao and knew his character well.

As a fisherman like Old Liao, still under his family’s watch, not much hidden savings could he have; even if he saved some, it went into buying fishing gear. How could he be involved with pornography?

They just wanted to rub it in Old Liao’s face.

"But speaking of it, when will Teacher Ye catch his first fish? How long will it take?"

"Yeah, if Teacher Ye comes up empty today, how could we have the face to keep fishing?"

Suddenly, Old Li and the others turned their attention towards Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

It’s not like he can’t catch anything.

Although he might not catch fish today, he will definitely catch something.

It’s just uncertain how much time it will take.

But since there are a hundred thousand pounds of fish in this pond... it should be quick, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Chen momentarily lost some confidence; he shook his head, discarding these thoughts from his mind.

Today, he must catch a fish!

As he pondered over the time he might need, Ye Chen followed the boss to the inside of the fish pond, took the mobile phone that Liao Xuexue was using to livestream, placed it aside, and started preparing.

The surrounding netizens, along with Old Liao and his group, also gathered around Ye Chen, watching his first attempt.

It was also Ye Chen’s first time fishing alone with all eyes on him.

This made Ye Chen a bit nervous.

Regardless, Ye Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset.

After all, he has the "Never Blank" ability; under everyone’s watch, it’s impossible not to catch anything.

"Never Blank: Each time the host fishes for more than half an hour, it ensures the host catches something, enhancing the fishing yield to help the host never blank."

He just didn’t know what this first attempt would catch.

Ye Chen decided not to use the Predictive Ability; that would take the fun out of fishing.

Ye Chen was also eager to see if he could catch a fish on this first try.

After all, this was the opening day at the new Haina Baichuan Fish Pond, he and the owners unveiled the red cloth, which should bring good luck; theoretically, it shouldn’t be too bad.

Liao Xuexue was very proactive this time, helping Ye Chen bait the fish, and threw the fishing bait into the lake.

In an instant, the pond’s surface continuously churned as numerous fish frantically jumped out of the water, creating quite a stir.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen became more confident.

"Today, on the fish pond’s opening day, I will definitely catch a fish!"

At this moment, gifts and comments in the live stream room kept pouring in.

"Wonder what surprise Teacher Ye’s first catch will bring us."

"Some might say he could blank, if he blanks, then the business opening must be postponed to tomorrow."

"Hahaha, that’s so true, definitely an old fan here!"

"One thing I’m sure of, whatever Teacher Ye catches first today, it won’t be a fish!"

"I have a feeling, what Teacher Ye catches today will definitely be something big!"

"I remember once Teacher Ye fell asleep waiting too long to catch a fish; hopefully, he doesn’t fall asleep today!"

"If Teacher Ye really catches a fish, then it’s a score for us!"
