I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 65 Rational Ye Chen

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Rational Ye Chen

"You just said it yourself, the Water Python I caught is a first-class protected animal."

"You can’t eat it or take it away, so tell me, why would I go to all this trouble for nothing?"

Zhou Tao rubbed his temples, looking speechlessly at Ye Chen.

As expected!

It had to be this kid. He should have thought of it earlier...

With this kid’s character of never suffering losses, he would never do anything as troublesome as catching Water Pythons without any real benefit!

Moreover, it’s exactly as he said.

Catching the Water Python, other than getting a bit of fame and some online traffic, there really is no other benefit.

And yet, despite this, Zhou Tao was still unwilling to give up.

Just like last night, when he urged Ye Chen not to obsess over fishing and to get a job to contribute to society and the country, shouting his lungs out.

Though it was mostly teasing, it also contained the admonition of an elder to a younger one.

Besides, if Ye Chen could use his "fishing skills" to do something truly useful for society, that would also be something Zhou Tao wanted to see.

With these thoughts, Zhou Tao let out a sigh, patting Ye Chen’s shoulder as he spoke with gravity.

"Ye Chen, listen here..."

"Last night, after you guys left Jiang City Riverbank, we received a report from Jinbao Residential Community."

"You know about Jinbao Residential Community?"

Ye Chen nodded: "I’ve heard of it. It’s one of the best residential communities in Jiang City, with really expensive housing prices."

"I’ve heard these old men chatting about it before. That community’s main selling point is its green environment. They have an artificial lake stocked with plenty of fish, almost as many as in fish-farms."

"But the community’s security guards won’t let outsiders in, let alone to fish..."

Sure enough, as soon as fishing was mentioned, the kid got all excited.

Before Ye Chen could finish, Zhou Tao cut him off.

It seems this guy doesn’t know about the giant python in Jinbao Residential Community yet.

Zhou Tao continued, "That’s the community."

"Last night, security guards near the artificial lake in the community saw a giant python, which then disappeared without a trace into the artificial lake."

"For the residents’ safety, we put up isolation tape around the artificial lake and informed the residents to stay away from it."

"But despite precautions, an incident occurred this morning; a homeowner was walking his pet dog by the lake, and the dog was swallowed by that giant python. Now everyone in the community is unsettled."

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned and asked in surprise.

"Then why not quickly arrange for the relevant departments to deal with it?"

Zhou Tao sighed: "We’ve arranged it already. The capture team has been fishing for it all morning, but we haven’t even seen the shadow of the giant python."

"We were thinking of draining the water from the artificial lake, but the community’s property management objected, saying they’d invested a lot of manpower, material resources, and money into creating that lake, and they refused to have it drained."

"The situation can’t keep dragging on like this, and the heat around the incident is only getting higher."

"You know, this kind of thing isn’t good news for us in Jiang City, and now it’s become a trending topic on social media."

"So you want me to go and catch the giant python in the lake?" After getting the gist of the situation, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Tao incredulously.

Zhou Tao nodded.

"Yeah, the giant python in Jinbao Residential Community is the same species as the one you’ve caught."

"I think since you could catch this giant python, you should have a way with the one in Jinbao Residential Community, right?"

Ye Chen curled his lip, pointing to the giant python by the bank, and said: "The giant python I caught is only five meters long, probably weighing over three hundred pounds."

"You just mentioned that the giant python in Jinbao Residential Community is a full ten meters."

"How could I possibly catch such a big snake with just a fishing rod when even a professional capture team couldn’t find it?"

Ye Chen didn’t actually want to get involved.

Though, due to the system, with skills like "Snake Angler" and "Feed Master," it might be possible to catch the giant python.

But catching it and actually pulling the giant python out of the water were two different things.

A ten-meter-long body would weigh at least over five hundred pounds, right?

Such a Water Python would be incredibly strong.

With Ye Chen’s current strength, even with the system’s boost, he was not completely sure of success.

If he leveled up once more, there probably wouldn’t be any problem.

Of course, since he could catch that giant python, perhaps asking others to help haul it up might be a solution.

But indeed, Ye Chen didn’t want to embarrass himself.

This incident had already hit the trending search on social media; surely many people were watching this.

Not to mention having to ask for help with something he caught himself, but as a fisherman, he would actually go and fish for a python??

If word got out, wouldn’t that make people laugh out loud?

Of course, there is another key issue: Ye Chen had already hinted to Captain Zhou.

Your offer isn’t enough!

If catching this giant python would bring him some substantial benefits, then Ye Chen wouldn’t mind trying.

But for now, Ye Chen thought it best not to show himself.

Of course, he didn’t outright refuse Zhou Tao.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at Zhou Tao sincerely and said, "How about this..."

"Truth be told, catching the ten-meter giant python is indeed quite challenging for me."

"I’m actually quite eager to try, but as you’ve said, professionals have already been dispatched to fish it."

"The artificial lake is only so big, after all, and a ten-meter giant python isn’t exactly a small fish; I reckon it can’t hide for long in the water."

"I’m guessing it will be discovered soon enough and then fished out."

"My thought is, if you guys really can’t handle it, I’m willing to give it a try, though I can’t guarantee success."

After speaking, Ye Chen seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "Also, Captain Zhou..."

"Is it your own idea for me to fish out that giant python, or is it an instruction from your leaders?"

In saying this, Ye Chen also wanted to remind Captain Zhou.

If the giant python incident in Jinbao Residential Community were true, then it would affect all of Jiang City.

And Zhou Tao was just a captain at the police station.

Even though Jinbao Residential Community is just one community, such a big incident is definitely not something a police officer, or an individual, can decide alone.
