I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 60 Zhou Tao’s Plan

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Zhou Tao’s Plan

"It’s a type of fish that looks a bit like an earthworm, I believe you all should have heard of it."

"Eels, also known as swamp eels, have a snake-like body, normally between twenty to eighty centimeters long, but the largest ones can be several meters."

"I never thought that I would catch such a big eel today, haha, nearly five meters long!"

"I guess you all must be shocked, right? Actually, I’m pretty shocked myself!"

"As the saying goes, only by enduring loneliness can you reach the top, impatience won’t get you big fish!"

"To catch such a huge eel, you need skill, the right mindset, and of course, a bit of luck."

"Since that’s the case, we’ll end today’s fishing live stream here, tomorrow morning, we’ll go fishing at Black Pond, see you then!"

Once he said this.

Many viewers in the live stream room were dumbfounded.

Especially those viewers who hadn’t been ’beaten’ by society, who aren’t very familiar with fish and even believed Ye Chen’s nonsense.

"Holy moly, I thought it was a Water Python, but it turned out to be an eel, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a fat and long eel!"

"Mr. Ye, is this really an eel? Isn’t this too big?"

"Strictly speaking, eels are indeed fish..."

"So that means, Mr. Ye really did catch a fish?"

...

These naive viewers were in the minority. More viewers recovered from their shock and began to tease Ye Chen.

"In the past, someone called a deer a horse, and today we have Mr. Ye here calling a snake an eel, 666!"

"Streamer, you’re such a smooth talker, do you think we know nothing?"

"You call this thing a fish??? You’re way off the mark, you’re changing the concept here!"

"If you had said that the little Water Snake earlier was an eel, maybe we would’ve believed you, but this one’s almost five meters long, who do you think will believe that!"

"Could it be a mutant eel???"

...

Just as everyone was making fun of Ye Chen, they suddenly realized that his live stream had ended.

Meanwhile, in a police car.

Seeing the phone screen showing "Live Stream Ended," the delighted officer burst into laughter.

He turned to Zhou Tao and joked, "Captain Zhou, now I know why this kid can’t catch fish but still has so many viewers."

"This kid is just outrageous, if he can’t catch fish, he should just say so."

"Instead he’s claiming this Water Snake to be an eel, hilarious!"

Sitting next to him, Zhou Tao, instead of laughing, furrowed his brows.

The next second, Zhou Tao suddenly asked, "Xiao Liu, don’t you think the thing this kid caught looks somewhat familiar?"

Xiao Liu, the officer, was taken aback, then scratched his head, "Familiar? Captain Zhou, you’re not really buying into this kid’s talk, are you?"

Zhou Tao’s expression was serious, he waved his hand, "No, what I meant is..."

"Have you noticed that this Water Snake looks a lot like the giant python from Jinbao Residential Complex?"

"This..."

Hearing the captain speaking seriously, Xiao Liu’s expression also turned solemn, and he said in astonishment, "Hey, Captain Zhou, you’re right, these two snakes do look quite similar!"

"But obviously, the one at Jinbao Residential Complex is much bigger than the one Ye Chen caught."

"According to the experts, the giant python in the artificial lake of Jinbao Residential Complex should be around nine to ten meters, right?"

"The one Ye Chen just caught, probably less than five meters?"

Zhou Tao scratched his head and said, "I think these two Water Snakes are probably the same species of giant python."

"So what?" For a moment, Xiao Liu didn’t know what Captain Zhou was getting at.

Zhou Tao narrowed his eyes and spoke gravely, "If this kid can catch a Water Snake nearly five meters long at Seyves Reservoir, then he might as well be able to catch the giant python in the artificial lake of Jinbao Residential Complex!"

"What???" Xiao Liu was stunned upon hearing this.

This time, without waiting for Xiao Liu to speak, Zhou Tao waved his hand and said to the colleague driving the car.

"Let’s go back, we’re heading back to Seyves Reservoir!"

So.

Zhou Tao and his team set off toward Seyves Reservoir.

Seeing his colleague’s astonished face beside him, Zhou Tao explained.

"Xiao Liu, do you remember there was also a small snake in this kid’s keepnet earlier?"

"When I asked him if he could catch snakes, this kid fooled around saying the snake got into the keepnet by itself."

"You saw the live stream too, he caught a nearly five-meter long giant python in front of hundreds of thousands of netizens."

"The small snake from before might very well have also been caught by this kid!"

"You know, an ordinary angler might spend their whole life fishing and never catch a snake."

"But this Ye Chen kid, in one morning, he didn’t catch a single fish, yet he managed to catch two snakes..."

"So you know what I mean, right?"

Xiao Liu, upon hearing this, finally understood what Captain Zhou meant.

But even so, he was still in shock, "Captain Zhou, you want this streamer to go to Jinbao Residential Complex and catch that even bigger giant python??"

"That’s right..." At that moment, Zhou Tao was excited, murmuring, "If he could catch two snakes in one morning, I don’t think it’s a coincidence!"

"I don’t know what kind of bait this kid uses, but it happens to attract snakes."

"And based on my observation, the Water Snake this kid caught just now looks a lot like the giant python from Jinbao Residential Complex."

"So I’m thinking..."

"Now that a giant python has appeared in Jinbao Residential Complex, it has made many people uneasy; rather than waiting for the salvage team to fish out the snake, it’s better to send Ye Chen to try."

"You also know, the longer we drag this out, the less favorable it is for us."

Xiao Liu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "Captain Zhou, you have a point, but have you considered..."

"This nearly five-meter giant python and the ten-meter long giant python are simply not at the same level."

"If the five-meter python is considered juvenile, then the ten-meter python is an adult."

"According to zoologists, the giant python could weigh over 500 pounds."

"Letting an ordinary angler fish for such a thing, not to mention whether it’s possible to succeed or not."

"Even if we report this to the higher-ups, they would only think you’ve gone mad..."

Zhou Tao was caught off guard, but still waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn’t matter, let’s go have a look first, besides this is just an idea of mine."
