I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 72 The Rhythm-Leading Hater

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 The Rhythm-Leading Hater

"It just goes to show how much manpower, financial power, and resources Ye Chen’s team has poured in for that overnight sensation."

"Of course, these investments were very effective; in less than two days, Ye Chen’s fans reached over three million!"

"It’s just so unfair! Streamers who fake things and script their shows increase by so many fans in less than two days."

"While streamers like us who honestly fish receive no attention at all, what on earth has this world come to!"

At this moment, Ye Chen nearly had veins popping out on his forehead after hearing these words.

Cui Ruogou, this damn guy!

If it were just plain slander, or even leeching off his fans and clout, Ye Chen wouldn’t be so angry.

But this guy actually said Ye Chen couldn’t catch fish because he did it on purpose!

His grandma’s!

If Cui Ruogou were standing in front of Ye Chen right now.

Ye Chen would definitely not be able to resist slamming him onto the table.

To let this guy have a good look at how many books Ye Chen had read and how much homework he had done to be able to catch fish.

His grandma’s!

Who knows how nearly possessed he’s become in his desire to catch fish.

And this guy...

Actually said Ye Chen couldn’t catch fish because he did it on purpose.

What a deliberate act!

This is just downright bullying to the extreme!

Ye Chen felt that this was a severe insult to his fishing skills!

For a moment, Ye Chen clenched his fists.

It seems it’s time to let this damn guy learn about the harshness of society!

That Officer Zhou, he knows that I’m someone who holds grudges. Seems like this Cui Ruogou is still naïve about the world!

Of course, to do something like hitting Cui Ruogou with a sucker punch when walking at night, or finding some way to disgust him, Ye Chen felt that would be letting him off too easily.

It has to be something satisfying, or rather, something that would make Cui Ruogou remember it for the rest of his life!

If it were before, Ye Chen might have thought this to be difficult.

But now with a system, teaching Cui Ruogou a lesson is too easy.

Just with the special skill of the "Feed Master".

If fish aren’t within the scope of use, then Cui Ruogou is surely within the scope, right?

With this thought, Ye Chen’s mood improved somewhat.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and continued to watch the video on the phone screen.

"In conclusion, these are my preliminary judgments."

"And since the live stream has already ended, if Ye Chen refuses to admit it, it’s probably hard for others to produce any evidence now."

"I don’t have any evidence either, but I think, the only thing that might make Ye Chen prove himself, might just be the giant python in Jinbao District."

"Why doesn’t the capable Ye Chen go and catch the giant python from Jinbao District?"

"That would also be considered a service to the public!"

"The specific petition is in the latest video published on my account, everyone can check it out."

"Jiang City is Ye Chen’s hometown, and now the entire Jiang City is living in fear because of that giant python that can’t be found, and up to now, the python still hasn’t been fished out."

"I feel that Teacher Ye surely wouldn’t just let that giant python stay in the artificial lake, right? Who knows when it might jump out and hurt people?"

"That’s it for this video, thanks everyone for your support and attention."

"I hope everyone pays more attention to streamers who truly fish, instead of streamers like Ye Chen who take the wrong path."

"Again, these are all my personal speculations, I have no evidence, so I don’t take any responsibility."

"Those contrarian intelligentsia, especially Ye Chen’s fans, just stay away from bothering me!"

"Farewell!"

And so the video ended.

Ye Chen turned off the video and clicked into Cui Ruogou’s account.

Sure enough, he found another video by Cui Ruogou.

The title was "Since you’re so capable, why not fish up that giant python in the artificial lake of Jinbao District and eliminate the harm for the people!"

After watching the video, Ye Chen almost laughed in anger because of Cui Ruogou.

This Cui Ruogou thinks he definitely can’t fish up such a big python, or to say, he doesn’t dare to fish at all.

So he just rides the wave of netizens’ rhythm, standing on the moral high ground to criticize me.

But the next second, Ye Chen started laughing.

Because he thought of a good way to deal with Cui Ruogou.

You like to lead the public opinion, huh?

Then let’s see how you like being led by the rhythm!

Indeed, Cui Ruogou isn’t very capable, but he really does have a knack for manipulating public opinion.

Ye Chen glanced through some of the comments under Cui Ruogou’s video.

Perhaps because they saw his "exposé video," many netizens started to agree with Cui Ruogou’s viewpoint.

"I knew it, such coincidences don’t happen in this world. A fishing streamer not being able to catch fish is one thing, but to become famous for fishing up such outrageous things, I didn’t expect it to be scripted!"

"Life is like a play; it all depends on acting. So, doesn’t that make Ye Chen a deliberate scammer fishing for fans and money?"

"Over three million fans, and he’s just recently become popular. Is he getting busted just like that?"

"However, even if he’s exposed, if Ye Chen insists on denying it, isn’t there no way to do anything?"

"Indeed, right now there’s no way to prove that everything Cui Ruogou says is right, nor is there any way to prove Ye Chen is a fraud."

"So the question is, does Ye Chen dare to fish for that giant python!"

"I think what streamer Cui Ruogou said does make sense. Ye Chen claims to be the number one person in Mystical Fishing and performing rituals by the river. It’s strange that the giant python appeared in Jinbao District’s artificial lake to begin with, better let Ye Chen fish it up."

"That’s right, that python is said to be ten meters long, so terrifying, and the fishing team hasn’t been able to catch it. Since Ye Chen is so capable, let him fish it up."

"This giant python hidden in the artificial lake for so long, and the fishing team hasn’t caught it, could it be that the python has gained sentience?"

"Exactly, wasn’t Ye Chen previously calling himself a descendant of Jiang Taigong? This is his specialty!"

"Indeed, I also agree, I suggest netizens come together to petition, asking Ye Chen to fish up this giant python."

"Come on, everyone, share and upvote Cui Ruogou’s video and article, let more people see it!"

...

Of course, in the comment section of Cui Ruogou’s video, there were still some fans who supported Ye Chen.

This group of people was constantly engaging in a war of words with these minor haters.

"I mean, are you guys joking? Why don’t you fish it yourself? The Hua Country’s record for the largest freshwater fish caught is only around 300 pounds."
