I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 328: The Best Fishing Spot

Chapter 328: Chapter 328: The Best Fishing Spot

Upon these words, the three of them fell into silence.

Queueing?

That was not an easy matter at all.

This area was teeming with fish—securing the proper spot for fishing was a matter of luck.

And with that, the fish caught might not be nutritious, or even risk being bitten or dying.

"Your suggestion is good, let’s go with it. Old Li, Old Zhao, you two don’t have any objections, right?" Old Liao looked at the other two and asked.

Old Li shook his head and wryly smiled, "What else can we do? We’re just here to make up the numbers anyway, forget it. I want to see for myself just how much ability this young Ye has!"

Old Liao nodded and smiled at Ye Chen, "Come, young Ye, follow me."

As he spoke, Old Liao led Ye Chen through a forest path, circled around the river, and then pointed to a huge rock in the distance, "How about we fish sitting there, young friend Ye Chen?"

Following the direction he pointed, Ye Chen saw that the rock was large enough for their fishing needs.

Therefore, Ye Chen slightly nodded, "Okay."

Afterward, the group arrived next to the rock, each finding a comfortable position to sit down.

"Young Ye, are you ready?"

"Yes, I’m ready," Ye Chen nodded, showing a confident demeanor.

Seeing this, Old Liao nodded and then leisurely began to fish.

Once again, he caught a grouper.

"Holy shit, Old Li, Old Zhang, this time it’s not bad at all. We’ve just started and already got a grouper; the kid is sure to lose."

Old Zhao, ecstatic, hastily signaled the other two.

Hearing this, Old Liu and Old Sun were also invigorated and quickly gathered to take a closer look.

The grouper they observed was approximately four meters long, emerald green throughout, with two horns on its head expressing significant agility, and with six fins on its belly, a dorsal fin, and a short and sharp tail.

Seemingly aware of the danger, the grouper desperately tried to crawl ashore but was directly pulled down by Ye Chen and tossed into the bucket.

After that, Ye Chen steadily pulled the line and suspended the grouper mid-air, then flung it out fiercely.

Whoosh!

The grouper traced a beautiful arc and fell into the bucket, stirring several ripples, while it thrashed its tail joyously as if celebrating.

"Haha, this grouper is indeed plump!"

Old Li was thrilled, lifting the grouper out before tossing it into a pot to stew and drink as soup.

"Young Ye’s fishing technique is quite impressive, I’ve never seen such a way of fishing before," Old Liu expressed in admiration.

Old Zhao nodded in agreement, "Yes, I’ve fished before but have never encountered a technique like Ye Chen’s."

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "This is really nothing. It’s just good luck. Let’s continue fishing."

The three nodded and resumed fishing.

This time, they seemed to be in luck and actually caught a carp.

At this, Old Liu’s face turned sour. Two fish caught in a row—how could the game continue like this!

However, Ye Chen didn’t mind and continued fishing calmly, quickly hooking another fish—a bass!

This time, the catch was a red-scaled carp, looking very bright, but Ye Chen knew it was a crucian carp.

Ye Chen looked at the carp and then glanced at Old Liu, who was looking dejected, and couldn’t help sneering inwardly: "You were mocking my bad luck, huh? Heh, this is called luck. You’ll be crying soon."

Immediately, Ye Chen ignored them and kept on fishing.

"Damn it, Ye Chen is such a sneaky bastard!" Old Liu clenched his teeth in annoyance.

"Don’t lose heart, let’s give it another go, we’ll definitely catch some fish." Old Zhao tried to console him.

Old Li, however, snorted: "Hmm, I want to see what on earth this guy can catch today!"

Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered with them and continued fishing, and this time, he caught two grouper fish in a row!

"Holy crap, this kid is something else!"

Seeing this, the expressions of Old Li and the others changed drastically, their faces filled with shock and envy.

They had originally wanted to knock Ye Chen down a peg, but who would have thought that this guy’s luck would be so against the odds, it was simply incredible!

Moreover, what puzzled them even more was why Ye Chen’s catch, despite being numerous groupers, were always just ordinary ones.

"I refuse to believe this!"

Old Li gritted his teeth and decided to go all in, frantically spinning the reel, hoping to turn his fortunes around with this opportunity.

Unfortunately, he failed and didn’t catch a single fish.

Seeing this, Old Zhao couldn’t help but look down on him: "Old Li, you’re not up to it this time!"

"I’ve always been better than you!" Old Li retorted with frustration.

"Is that so? I remember I always beat you in fishing!" Old Zhao mercilessly exposed Old Li’s embarrassing past.

Hearing this, Old Li suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"Alright, let’s just focus on fishing," Old Liu coughed lightly and said.

Old Li snorted coldly and said no more.

Ye Chen, seeing that they had finally stopped bickering, let out a sigh of relief - he definitely didn’t have the time to listen to these two old men squabbling.

He placed the groupers into a bucket and began to fish with concentration.

This time, Ye Chen caught a Golden Armored Turtle.

The Golden Armored Turtle was very heavy, with a shell hard as metal, easily breakable if mishandled.

But Ye Chen was unfazed, he took out a dagger and dissected the Golden Armored Turtle, cleaned it thoroughly, threaded it onto skewers, and began roasting it over the fire.

Old Li and Old Zhao were stunned at the sight.

They had not expected Ye Chen to actually eat the Golden Armored Turtle directly!

"This kid really is crazy!"

"What a complete waste of food!"

They commented one after another.

This kind of food was worthless; even when they ate meat on usual days, they’d disdain it for being filthy. Yet Ye Chen was eating this junk?

Not just Old Liu and Old Li, even Old Zhao was now completely dumbfounded, clearly unable to comprehend.

Ye Chen paid no mind to their attitudes. After the Golden Armored Turtle was roasted, he portioned and plated it, then brought it over to Old Zhao’s desk: "Grandpa Zhao, please enjoy your meal."

Old Zhao and Old Liu were taken aback at the sight of these dishes, unable to believe that they had been prepared by such a young kid.

Especially Old Zhao, who glanced at the food on the desk and then back at Ye Chen in confusion.

"This... Ye Chen, did you really make these dishes?" He hesitated for a moment before asking.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "Mmm, Grandpa Zhao, please try them and see how they taste."

Old Zhao was silent; though Ye Chen spoke with confidence, the idea of eating this was something he hesitated over.

After all, Ye Chen was younger than any of them, so how could he swallow such food?
