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

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Frantic Cui Ruogou

The Cui Ruogou in front of you, you’ve stirred up trouble with Teacher Ye, turning yourself into bait for python fishing.

Do you still feel like fishing here?

As he arrived at the entrance of the fish pond, the owner, hands on hips, said to Cui Ruogou with irritation, "Today the pond is stocked with 15,000 kilos of fish, only fishing rods under 3.4 meters are allowed, and spots are on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re here to fish, the fish must be sold back to us at two yuan per kilo."

"Each person’s spot fee is two thousand five hundred, for four people, that’s a total of ten thousand yuan!"

"What did you say?"

Cui Ruogou almost dropped his jaw when he heard this, thinking he had misheard: "Owner, what are you talking about?"

"Isn’t the fee for a spot at your fish pond one hundred yuan a day? And there hasn’t been any restriction on the length of fishing rods."

"Additionally, aren’t fishing spots supposed to be determined by drawing lots?"

Indeed, by all common sense, to fish at Black Pond meant to follow the rules of Black Pond.

For instance, you can only catch certain fish, and there are rules like not using rods longer than allowed, and so on.

After all, the longer the rod, the easier it is to slip those big fish away.

Or rules about not baiting, and so on.

But trying to haul in fish over ten kilos with a 3.4-meter rod is simply impossible.

Isn’t this just blatantly trying to rip me off?

Who knew, the owner just snorted coldly and continued, "Anyway, that’s the rule here. We just stocked 15,000 kilos of fish. If you’re willing to fish, you can fish here."

"If not, then leave!"

Cui Ruogou glared at the owner, fuming with anger, "My goodness, worthy of being called Black Pond, but aren’t you folks a bit too much!"

No sooner had he finished speaking, he thought, this situation might have something inseparable to do with Ye Chen.

But as angry as he was, he had to fish today.

In other words, he had to fish with Ye Chen today.

Because this might be his last chance to gain followers. Here, he could not only ride on Ye Chen’s popularity, but he might even have the chance to bring Ye Chen down.

"If you’re not going to fish, then please leave," the owner said to Cui Ruogou, clearly out of patience.

For a moment, Cui Ruogou felt fiery rage within.

Normally, faced with a situation like this, he wouldn’t just walk away but would also post a video dissing such a shady pond.

But now...

It’s a case of having to swallow it for the time being.

Cui Ruogou gritted his teeth and then put on a sycophantic smile, "Owner, look... I’ll let it be with the hefty spot fee charged by your wife, but there are so many rules, isn’t this plainly saying you don’t want me to fish..."

Who would’ve thought, the owner would grandly gesture, "Brother, I really am sorry. At home, I just listen to my wife!"

Wow!

Cui Ruogou let out a breath, so angry his face turned green.

Are you two playing a double act here with me?

When Ye Chen was here just now, you were all smiles, promising benefits, almost treating him like an ancestor.

But when it comes to me, you show me a cold shoulder?

But there’s no helping it, Ye Chen is inside live streaming.

Yesterday, after Ye Chen released his latest video, the followers that Cui Ruogou had just gained, either deactivated their accounts or unfollowed him, turning into haters and even started to harass him.

Usually, he wouldn’t care, he could just find something else to do.

However, he spent all his savings yesterday on buying trending searches, getting big V’s and self-media studios to repost his video articles, as well as setting up his own team and purchasing equipment. He even mortgaged his house.

And he’s still keeping this a secret from his wife at home. If she found out about this, his fate would be extremely miserable...

So today, he absolutely must go fishing with Ye Chen. Only by doing that could his Quickenings account have a chance to revive.

Thus, he looked at the female shop owner next to him with a fawning expression and rubbed his hands, "Ma’am... this..."

"Two thousand five hundred per person is okay, but limiting the fishing rod to three-point-four meters, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?"

Unexpectedly, the shop owner just gave him a cold look and didn’t even bother to have a conversation with him this time.

She directly grabbed her husband and headed towards the fishpond.

Seeing this scene, Cui Ruogou became extremely anxious and pulled out his mobile phone to look at the balance of less than twenty thousand yuan.

That was all his wealth.

With a determined heart, he called out to the shop owner: "Fine, let it be two thousand five hundred then!"

The shop owner turned her head and then looked at the three companions behind Cui Ruogou: "Two thousand five hundred per person, so for the four of you together, that’s ten thousand yuan."

"Ma’am, they... they aren’t fishing!" Cui Ruogou chuckled at the shop owner, then continued: "They are just my assistants, responsible for helping me film the videos, carrying the bucket, and stuff like that."

At that moment, Cui Ruogou felt his face was about to freeze from too much forced smiling.

He had lived for more than forty years and had never been so humiliated.

But the shop owner simply didn’t care about his explanation and said bluntly: "I don’t give a damn if you are fishing or not. Anyone who comes into the fishpond has to pay the pit fee!"

This is frickin’ absurd!

Cui Ruogou was now on the verge of mental collapse, as he usually considered a hundred yuan expensive for a fishpond of Black Pond’s scale.

Were the shop owner and his wife purposely picking a fight with him today?

He had no choice but to get in today!

Cui Ruogou let out a bitter sigh with a downcast face: "How about this, those three don’t come in, and I go in alone, okay?"

"Then two thousand five..."

Before Cui Ruogou could finish, the shop owner cut him off directly: "What two thousand five!"

"The group price is two thousand five, and that’s only if you four join together!"

Although the shop owner looked impatient, she was almost bursting with laughter inside.

I mean, on the internet, they say Teacher Ye is the number one in Mystical Fishing, with incredible predictive ability.

He sure made a slip today!

What he said turned out to be so divine!

This Cui Ruogou in front of her is truly a rare big sucker to come across!

Cui Ruogou clenched his fists, trying hard to control the anger in his heart.

Now, he was sure that this matter was the doing of that bastard Ye Chen.

He could feel his blood pressure rising...

Probably because he hadn’t slept all night and was truly infuriated today.

However, despite all this, he was still silently chanting in his heart.

"For the greater good, for the greater good..."

Finally, he let out a long breath and with a servile expression, he looked at the shop owner and shamelessly asked: "Ma’am... if it’s just me fishing alone, not as a group purchase, how much would that cost?"

The shop owner looked at the livid Cui Ruogou, completely breaking his defenses at that moment.
