Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Accurate Prediction

Jiang City is only so big, and we’re all from the same fishing circle after all.

Wait until the day I actually run into this hater, then I’ll give him a piece of reality.

Let’s see how he barks then!

Hence, at this moment, Ye Chen didn’t bother with "East Sea’s King of Fishing" and simply ignored him.

As it turned out, Ye Chen’s decision was indeed the right one.

After "East Sea’s King of Fishing" acted like a piece of shit in the live stream room, the number of people giving gifts and commenting skyrocketed.

It’s actually quite simple, some viewers felt that "East Sea’s King of Fishing" had a point and those were the ones just watching for fun, having never really followed Ye Chen.

But most of the viewers stood up for Ye Chen, feeling outraged on his behalf and also sent some small gifts to support him.

So, during the spat between the two parties, the true fans of Ye Chen started sending gifts to show their support.

Besides these.

The remaining comments were all sorts of shock, with many people reminding Ye Chen that this matter was no joke.

If it really was a real gun, he had to hand it over to the police immediately, after all, it was a legal matter and no child’s play.

Some small-time haters were being sarcastic, thinking that "East Sea’s King of Fishing" was right, saying the gun was fake, and that Ye Chen wouldn’t dare go to the police.

Even if he did report it, he would just be a clown because what he fished up wasn’t a real gun.

Ye Chen wasn’t stupid, of course he understood the seriousness.

He held the "Hand Cannon" in his hand and said with a smile to the camera, "Don’t worry everyone, I will definitely hand over this gun to the police."

"But only after I finish fishing."

Having said that, there was a dull "thud".

Ye Chen directly tossed the handgun into the keepnet, letting it keep company with the Water Snake.

After that, Ye Chen continued to cast his rod and fish.

The viewers in the live stream room were all dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

Dude, dude, you catch a real gun and you don’t hand it in, and you continue fishing instead, you’re really addicted to fishing, huh!

And the streamer even threw the gun directly into the keepnet...

Really a sign of a true fisherman who never leaves the sky unattended, right?

But that wasn’t the most shocking thing.

What left people speechless was that Ye Chen pulled up the keepnet again and then picked the gun out.

Just when the viewers thought he regretted it and was ready to hand it in.

Ye Chen suddenly took out a ruler and a small scale, then looked at the girl beside him with a cheeky smile.

"Almost forgot about our bet from earlier..."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Liao Xuexue’s eyeballs nearly popped out.

Only now did she think of the bet she made earlier with Mr. Ye.

Right...

What Mr. Ye fished up was a handgun, though it’s not a fish, let alone a big carp.

So she should have won the bet.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Liao Xuexue’s face as she watched Mr. Ye holding the fishing rod in his hand.

Previously due to grandpa’s excessive obsession with fishing, he neglected many things, and because of this he often argued with grandma.

Therefore, from the elderly to the young in their family, they all rather disliked the old man’s fishing activities.

So, Liao Xuexue was not unfamiliar with fishing, but she also didn’t support her grandfather’s fishing very much.

However, after spending some time with Teacher Ye by the shore, she felt that fishing was not as bad as everyone said.

In fact, it was quite interesting...

Especially at the moment when a fish bites and the fishing float sinks.

Even she, who was just there for the fun of it, was looking forward to seeing what kind of fish would be caught.

Especially since Liao Xuexue had never really fished before, she was quite eager to experience it.

That was also the reason why she had made such a bet with Ye Chen.

It was just that Teacher Ye had just caught a hand cannon, which was so shocking that it made her forget about the bet.

Hearing Teacher Ye mentioning it now, Liao Xuexue smiled radiantly.

Blinking her cute eyes, she looked at Ye Chen: "Teacher Ye, you lost!"

"What you caught is certainly not a big carp!"

But facing her, Ye Chen had an even more brilliant smile.

"Did I ever say that what I would catch had to be a fish?"

Indeed!

How could Ye Chen, such a smart man, not leave himself a way out when he knew that the system was not reliable?

Therefore, when the bet was first made, he intended to say that he would catch a fish, but the words were swallowed back at the last moment.

Ye Chen continued to explain: "Listen carefully to my original words."

"Within five minutes, I will catch a... I will catch something that is twenty centimeters long, weighing two jin and one liang, with a length and weight error not exceeding 1 centimeter or one liang."

"If you don’t believe it, you can ask the audience in the live stream room, I believe many of them have recorded the screen."

Sitting opposite Ye Chen, Liao Xuexue was stunned, but luckily she had a good memory. That’s why she knew so much about those old things like the "Hand Cannon" just now.

Liao Xuexue frowned in thought for a moment, then reacted... Teacher Ye had indeed said that.

But even so, Liao Xuexue did not think she would necessarily lose.

She wore a confident smile, raising her eyebrows: "Teacher Ye, even if you did say that, you still lost."

Looking at the puzzled Ye Chen, Liao Xuexue pointed at the "Hand Cannon" in Ye Chen’s hand and said with a giggle: "Teacher Ye, didn’t I tell you before, I know more about guns than you do."

"This handgun, known as the Hand Cannon, is twenty-one centimeters in total length, weighing 1.9 jin."

"The length error is indeed within one centimeter, there’s no argument there, and as you said, you caught it within five minutes."

"However, the weight discrepancy is two liang, exceeding the one liang you stated before, so Teacher Ye, it seems you have lost the bet."

After saying that, Liao Xuexue laughed like a child, with eyes curved into crescents.

Although she believed she had won the bet, she was still quite astonished inside.

Because no one knew more about firearms than Liao Xuexue, and she was clear that such a historically significant handgun could not have been pre-arranged by Teacher Ye.

Yet he was able to accurately predict the time of the catch and the dimensions and weight of the gun.

Obviously, this was inexplicable by science.

But to call it a coincidence, are there really such coincidences in this world?

Could it be just like Grandpa said, Teacher Ye had blessed his fishing with mysticism?

Even though the video and news of Ye Chen catching a corpse last night had gone viral on the internet.
