I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 85 Going to Black Pond

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Going to Black Pond

Playing is all about keeping it real!

And besides, a gentleman loves wealth and seeks it in an honest way, which is worth learning.

At this moment, although Ye Chen agreed readily, he was somewhat uncertain about whether he could really fish up that giant python.

To be precise, with this system, fishing for fish is indeed difficult for Ye Chen.

However, fishing for pythons should not be that difficult.

After all, his skills, like "Never Fish in Vain," "Snake Fisher," and "Feed Master," are somewhat formidable to some extent.

It shouldn’t be hard to fish for the giant python, but whether he can pull it ashore is another matter.

But what Ye Chen could be sure of was that, as the system upgraded continuously, his body, including his Five Senses, had greatly improved.

Not to mention strength.

However, Ye Chen hadn’t conducted any specific tests.

Take the five-meter-long python he fished up yesterday, for example; he could feel that his strength, stamina, and explosive power had all increased a lot compared to before.

But facing the ten-meter-long giant python in Jinbao Community, he wasn’t absolutely sure he could bring it ashore.

But as Zhou Tao said, he could still give it a try.

After all, this reward is a whopping one million!

Of course, letting Cui Ruogou be the bait for the python fishing was one of the reasons why Ye Chen agreed so readily.

Just as Ye Chen was pondering, Zhou Tao standing across from him couldn’t help but ask jokingly.

"What did you tell me about this when I asked you yesterday?"

"You said you’re a seasoned fisherman, and asking you to fish for snakes is an insult to your fishing skills and character."

Ye Chen replied without changing his expression: "When the safety of the people is at stake, what does the insult to my character and fishing skills matter?"

"The highest realm of a fisherman is to care for the world and maintain safety for the community. If I can help solve the public’s troubles, then I’m willing to accept such insults every day."

Zhou Tao curled his lips, talking to this guy always managed to put him in a good mood.

"Do you want this one million to insult you?"

"Come inside and take a seat; I’ll explain the details to you."

...

Half an hour later, Ye Chen left Jiang City Police Station.

His mood was excellent, as was Zhou Tao, who came out with him.

"Ye Chen, then it’s decided."

"If the giant python has not been fished up tonight..."

"Then Jinbao Community’s property management will issue a notice, and you’ll have to give it a try tomorrow."

"I’ve given you the contact information for the property management; you can contact them directly."

"Okay," nodded Ye Chen: "See you tomorrow, then."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao almost burst into laughter: "Are you so sure that the capture team won’t catch that giant python today?"

Ye Chen waved his hand at Zhou Tao without turning back: "Have you forgotten that I am a descendant of the Heavenly Master Sect?"

With that said, he hopped onto his blue agricultural tricycle.

Accompanied by the "rumbling" sound of the engine and a thick cloud of choking smoke,

Ye Chen left Jiang City Police Station just like that.

On the tricycle, Ye Chen was in a great mood.

No matter whether he could fish up that giant python, at this moment, he couldn’t wait to see what Cui Ruogou would look like as bait.

When the time comes, get a crane to hang this guy up and place him above the artificial lake’s surface.

Until that giant python shows up!

Let’s see if this guy will wet his pants!

When he said he would give that guy a profound lesson, Ye Chen definitely meant it.

Of course...

The so-called descendant of the Heavenly Master Sect Ye Chen just mentioned was just bluffing.

He couldn’t guarantee if the fishing team would catch the giant python today.

But Ye Chen felt it was highly unlikely they would succeed.

Hadn’t there been a report before about an alien species, the pleco, found by the riverside of a certain community in Hua Country?

It had even trended on social media.

But it didn’t take long for the professional fishers to catch those plecos.

So, if it were easy to catch, it probably would have been caught by now.

If it’s hard to catch, then it would be a waste of effort no matter how long they tried.

To fish out this ten-meter-long giant python, in the end it will probably still depend on the system.

So, Ye Chen opened the system interface.

[Name: Ye Chen]

[Level: 3]

[Experience: 850/15000]

[Skills: Expel Evil and Subdue Fiends, Never Fish in Vain, Capture Corpse]

[Unlocked Achievements: ...]

[Locked Achievements: Rotten Fish Smell Right, Night Fishing for Corpses]

[Predictive Ability will be activated after the next fishing attempt...]

Achievements:

[Expel Evil and Subdue Fiends: Helps the host to reverse fate, turning bad luck into good luck.]

[Never Fish in Vain: Every fishing time above half an hour will ensure the host catches something, and increase the haul of the fishing, helping the host to never fish in vain.]

[Capture Corpse: Including but not limited to human corpses, increases the likelihood of the host catching a corpse.]

[Water Snake Fisher: Gains the ability to fish for Water Snakes, increases the chances of catching a Water Snake...]

[Weapon Capture: Increases the likelihood of catching a weapon while fishing.]

[Feed Master: The host can specify an object and use the bait suggested by the system to fish it out, cooldown time 24h.]

The reason for such an increase in experience was because of the Water Python Ye Chen caught yesterday at the final cast in Seyves Reservoir.

It directly added more than six hundred experience points.

Yesterday, when Ye Chen caught that five-meter-long giant python, he almost used all his strength to stabilize the fishing rod and finally pulled the giant python out of the water.

So, if he wanted to challenge that ten-meter-long giant python, he probably needed to fish more today.

It would be best to get the system to level four.

This way, not only could new abilities be unlocked, but his physical fitness could also be improved.

Only then would Ye Chen be more confident in catching that giant python.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen became even more eager for today’s Black Pond operation.

"Black Pond" is the colloquial term anglers have for fee-charging fishing ponds.

Due to the rapid development of humans, natural environments and ecological balance have been damaged to varying degrees.

Especially in some first-tier cities, which are developing extremely fast, and the natural ecological waters available for anglers to fish are becoming less and less.

What replaces them are these fee-charging fishing ponds.

In the past, the charging standard was roughly like this.

On the day the fish are stocked in the pond, the fee is fifty, the second day forty, and the third day thirty.

Soon, "Black Pond" became the professional term for these fee-charging fishing ponds.

However, it’s quite clear that Jiang City, where Ye Chen lives, is not considered a big city.
