I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 43: You Lost Without the Slightest Discrepancy

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: You Lost Without the Slightest Discrepancy

But some people who don’t pay much attention to the internet are still quite unaware.

Clearly, Liao Xuexue is one of these people.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have believed her grandfather’s words.

If Liao Xuexue had seen Ye Chen’s video and the news last night, she would probably be even more shocked.

Of course, by then, she would also know about the betting agreement between Ye Chen and her grandfather.

Just as shocked as Liao Xuexue were the viewers in the live stream room.

"Damn, I almost forgot about this. I didn’t expect Teacher Ye to actually predict the weight and length of the catch."

"While the weight and length were a bit off, he’s still quite impressive."

"Anyway, I’m convinced. With that weight and length, no wonder Teacher Ye mistook the handgun for a big crucian carp; for an above-average size of crucian carp, it would weigh and measure about that."

"Last night, when I saw the streamer catch a corpse in the video, I couldn’t believe it. But today’s live stream just blew my mind."

"Is there a master who can explain what’s going on here?"

"Need an explanation? The East Sea’s King of Fishing just made it very clear. This was a scripted scenario all along, with a diver cooperating under the water!"

"How could there be so many divers? Do you know how much it costs to hire a diver to work underwater?"

"The live stream room now has over a hundred thousand viewers. The streamer is making money hand over fist; do you think he’d care about those costs?"

"It’s indeed hard to believe. Could this be the power of blessing the fishing rod? The timing was exactly right. The weight was off by two liang (taels), and the length by one centimeter!"

...

While everyone in the live stream room was arguing,

Ye Chen, in the video, placed the item in his hand onto the fish scale.

He looked at Liao Xuexue with a grin, while addressing the live stream viewers.

"I haven’t lost, you know."

"Lil’ sis, you’re too naive. You just said that those were the average measurements for most handguns."

"In these waters, whatever I fish up, I have the final say!"

At this moment, Ye Chen emanated a subtle aura, even giving off the impression of a transcendent hermit.

And when Liao Xuexue saw the number on the electronic scale, her whole body went numb.

The display on the electronic scale showed exactly 1.1KG, which is precisely what Ye Chen had predicted earlier - two liang more than two jin.

Not the one jin and nine liang she mentioned.

The viewers in the live stream room completely erupted!

Ye Chen’s statement wasn’t just a show of bravado.

Even though because of this dumb system, he couldn’t even fish up a single fish,

Ye Chen clearly understood that the hints given by the system were never off the mark.

Just like the two things he fished up last night, whether it was rotten fish or a corpse, each came with a prompt from the system.

And any item that comes with a system prompt, whether it be time, weight, length, or even value, is without any discrepancy.

This time, even though he caught a handgun instead of a big crucian carp, it was the same.

This is why Ye Chen had such confidence.

The handgun, once placed on the electronic scale, matched the numbers predicted by Ye Chen without a slight difference.

Exactly 1.1KG, just as Ye Chen had said.

Next, Ye Chen took out a tape measure he carried with him.

He pulled out the tape and began to measure the length of the handgun.

With absolute precision - twenty-one centimeters!

And it was not the twenty-two centimeters that Liao Xuexue had mentioned.

Seeing this scene, Liao Xuexue was already stupefied.

How could this possibly happen?

However, Liao Xuexue quickly shifted her gaze onto the handgun.

Having received higher education, she quickly calmed down and began to think.

The information she knew about this handgun, its specific length and weight, had all been acquired from data.

Data doesn’t lie, but not all manufactured handguns are that precise.

To put it simply, the manufacturing techniques of that time were not so refined.

Moreover, the "little smash cannon" handgun known in Hua Country at that time was universally recognized as one of the worst handguns, with a remarkably high failure rate.

Besides, although this handgun looked barely usable, it had, after all, been around for seventy to eighty years.

Thus, it makes sense for the weight and length to not match the data from the books.

Speaking of making sense...

This doesn’t make any sense at all, does it?

Why could Mr. Ye predict it with such accuracy, down to the smallest detail?

Liao Xuexue, with a brain full of questions, looked at Ye Chen, who seemed so smug.

Is this mysticism? But isn’t this a bit too mystical...

Could it be that there was a diver underwater who secretly attached the gun to the fishhook?

But that’s not possible either...

Not to mention that she had been with Mr. Ye the whole time, even if Mr. Ye had engaged a diver, he would need to have a real gun to start with.

For Liao Xuexue, who studied history, she was all too aware of the rarity of this gun by now, and calling it a testimony of history would not be an overstatement.

She couldn’t figure it out...

But those fishing buddies who witnessed the fishing of a corpse last night didn’t make such a big fuss.

After all, if Mr. Ye could predict a rotten fish and a corpse, it was no surprise that he could predict an ordinary handgun.

So, although those fishing buddies didn’t hear what Ye Chen and Old Liao’s granddaughter were talking about,

When they saw Ye Chen took out the electronic scale and tape measure, they couldn’t help but discuss amongst themselves.

"Mr. Ye, did you make another correct prediction this time?"

"It’s correct, but it’s a shame that it’s not a fish. If it was a fish, after fishing up a corpse last night, there could be a reward of two hundred thousand. Today, this handgun can’t be kept for oneself, Mr. Ye, do you get a reward for turning it in?"

"Mr. Ye has no ’air force’ today, first a Water Snake and then a handgun, hahaha..."

...

Hearing this, Liao Xuexue’s eyes twitched fiercely.

"Mr. Ye, did you... did you fish up a body last night?"

Ye Chen glanced at Liao Xuexue disdainfully.

If it weren’t for fishing up a corpse, how would your grandfather have been tricked into bringing you, the silly and naive one, over here because of a bet?

Yet he didn’t hide anything, and openly said, "Hmm, last night I fished up a rotten fish, along with a corpse."

Upon hearing this, Liao Xuexue felt numb all over.

Rotten fish, corpse, Water Snake, handgun...

Why is everything this fishing master catches so extraordinary?

Liao Xuexue pursed her lips and asked, "Mr. Ye, how many fish... did you catch yesterday?"

At this, Ye Chen’s smile disappeared, he waved his hand impatiently, "You girl, let me tell you, prying into these things..."

But the next second, Ye Chen’s demeanor changed again, he grinned and said: "Take a look, seems like our wager... hmm, you’ve lost..."
