I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Speechless Ye Chen

Besides...

The video quality of Ye Chen’s live stream was way better than the surveillance of Jinbao Residential Area.

And Ye Chen’s phone was right beside him.

At this moment, the water python was less than two meters away from Ye Chen’s phone.

The terrifying pattern on the water python’s body could be clearly seen.

It was evident how much shock Zhou Tao experienced when he saw the giant water python Ye Chen caught on the live stream, at such a close distance.

...

At the same time.

When it became clear that Ye Chen had caught a water python nearly five meters in length.

The barrage in the live stream room suddenly went quiet for about five seconds.

You have to understand, Ye Chen’s live stream room had hundreds of thousands of viewers online!

The fact that hundreds of thousands of viewers were scared witless at the same time to the point they forgot to even send messages.

It was enough to show how shocked everyone was by the behemoth that Ye Chen had caught.

Next, perhaps it was because words could not describe the shock in everyone’s hearts.

In the live stream room, besides gifts, the most common messages were just two words.

"Holy shit!!!!!!!!"

The whole screen was filled with these two words!

...

But, whether it was Zhou Tao or the group of viewers in the live stream room.

They were shocked, indeed, but they were only watching the scene through their phones, via the live stream.

But for those old men standing beside Ye Chen at Seyves Reservoir, and for Liao Xuexue, it was not the same.

Just moments before, they were intrigued by the behemoth Ye Chen was pulling up and helped to pull ashore.

But when they saw that big head with yellow patterns at the water’s edge, hooked by Ye Chen’s fishing line, everyone was drenched in cold sweat.

Usually, the fish they caught were only about a few dozen centimeters in length.

Occasionally catching one over half a meter was already considered a huge catch.

Even if it was a snake, Ye Chen had caught one before.

Aside from Liao Xuexue, who was terrified, others found it more amusing and curious.

But what if it was a water snake nearly five meters long?

What Ye Chen caught today could not simply be called huge; it was downright a freaking monster!

The small water snake that Ye Chen had previously caught seemed as minuscule as an ant compared to this monster.

Plus, there were times when Ye Chen caught rotten fish, corpses, and even a hand grenade.

Everyone was scared, but at least they knew to run away.

Speaking of which, seeing this water python lying on the shore like a monster.

Forget about running!

At this moment, the old men felt like their legs were filled with lead, unable to run even if they wanted to!

It was not just fear.

Even though the water python had a fishing hook hanging from its mouth, who could be sure that it wouldn’t lurch forward in the next second if someone attempted to run?

Judging by its size, everyone felt they wouldn’t even be enough to wedge between its teeth!

If these people were mostly shocked when they saw the monster that Ye Chen had caught.

Then the person who had caught this monster, the "Commander of the Air Force" Ye Chen, at this moment only felt bitter and... helpless.

Damn it!

He was all pumped up, thinking he was about to catch something huge, without relying on any system, purely by his own skill.

Now it looked like it was definitely the system’s ’Snake Fishing Expert’ ability that took effect...

[Snake Fishing Expert: Gain the ability to fish for water snakes, increase the odds of catching water snakes...]

This had nothing to do with his own skills!

If that was all, it would have been fine.

But just before, Ye Chen had confidently stated that within half an hour, he would definitely catch a big fish.

Just now, I used all the fish-slip skills I’ve learned in my life, pitting my strength and technique against this thing.

And when I finally pulled it up, holy mother!

It wasn’t a fish at all, but a snake, a big snake!

This is like someone giving you a difficult puzzle.

You try all kinds of solutions with great difficulty.

In the end, they tell you that, actually, this puzzle has no solution...

In old Liao’s words, truly, holy mother!

What annoys Ye Chen even more.

Pulling up such a thing is even worse than catching a pistol and a hand grenade!

A pistol and a hand grenade combined could at least be exchanged for eight hundred bucks and a silk banner.

Not to mention a corpse...

But this thing?

You can’t eat it.

Sell?

Who the hell would buy such a thing?

Besides, you can’t take it home as a pet, can you?

This creature might just swallow you whole while you’re asleep.

Moreover, if it’s an invasive species, you can’t just let it go.

And if it’s a protected animal, that’s even more troubling; you have to be careful not to harm it.

The key thing is, Ye Chen feels like someone’s dumped a bucket of cold water on him.

No one knows that just now, when I was fishing...

To be precise, when I was fishing for snakes, the moment I lifted the rod,

My head was full of the image of me holding a three-meter-long, over three hundred pound behemoth for a photo op.

And then, after catching the behemoth.

I’d ride my tricycle, with the giant creature placed in the back basket,

Cruising around Jiang City in the evening breeze, humming a tune, proudly showing off...

But now.

All my dreams have shattered, damn it, all because of this cursed water python!

But besides this giant python, it seems the biggest culprit is this shitty system.

Though I can’t really say that; before I got the system, I never even caught one fish.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen sighs with a bitter expression; there’s no way to fight against the mockery of fate...

Before the system, I often came home empty-handed.

Now that I have the system, at least I can catch some things.

Catching a water snake is catching a water snake; it’s better than coming back empty-handed.

And, let’s just say it’s practice for my fish-slip skills.

To become the King of Fishing, one has to endure hardships that others haven’t, training diligently is not easy, right?

It looks like I need to keep my feet on the ground and continue to tough it out!

These words, Ye Chen is actually comforting himself.

Anyway, today’s Ye Chen has no intention of continuing to fish.

These fellow anglers are right, maybe because there are too few wild fish, that’s why I can’t catch any.

Tomorrow, I’ll join them at Black Pond and give it another try.

In general, I can’t lose face in front of so many fellow anglers, and the viewers in the live stream room.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen looks at the phone that is live streaming and clears his throat.

"Ahem..."

Then, he poked the water snake with his fishing rod and started rambling.

"Uh..."

"Maybe some viewers in the live stream room aren’t aware, let me educate you, there’s a type of fish in the water called the eel."
