Chapter 120: Chapter 118: Hooking an Alligator Turtle_2

You should know that just in our country alone, there are over 1400 species of freshwater fish, and when you add those from the sea and those from other countries, the number could increase many times over.

And aquatic products don’t just refer to fish. Take this Big Alligator Turtle in front of us, for example, it belongs to the reptile class but can also be classified as an aquatic product. With this calculation, the variety of aquatic products is at least in the tens of millions.

"Wow, if that’s the case, couldn’t I become a powerhouse in aquatic science if I kept fishing like this?" At this moment, Lin Yang couldn’t help thinking to himself.

Anyway, having special rewards is always better than just getting money. After all, knowledge can’t be bought with money.

Plus, Lin Yang had been worried about going out to fish later and accidentally catching something that could land him in prison. Now that he had acquired more knowledge about aquatic products, it felt like some sort of security to him.

Without hesitation, Lin Yang silently clicked to assimilate one-thousandth of the aquatic knowledge, and moments later, he felt his knowledge of aquatic life had deepened.

For instance, looking at the Alligator Turtle in front of him, Lin Yang not only knew it was from the Alligator Turtle family, but now he also knew that it was a small Alligator Turtle also known as a Mud Alligator Turtle, an invasive species, that is edible and now farmed in our country.

Silently continuing to fish, it had only been over three hours, and he had caught less than ten fish. He hoped to catch more than ten more in the afternoon, which would satisfy Lin Yang.

Around twelve o’clock.

After capturing a seven to eight-pound Catfish, Lin Yang stopped fishing.

"Master Wang, shall we eat?"

Wang Erwen shook his head, "When do fishermen ever stop for lunch? You go ahead and eat; I’ll keep fishing. I refuse to believe I won’t catch even one today."

Indeed, Master Wang had not landed a single fish to shore all morning apart from the one that got away.

Since Wang Erwen didn’t want to eat, Lin Yang didn’t press it. He needed to eat. After all, people are iron, and food is steel. Without eating, he’d be starving, and he needed a full meal to have the strength to keep fishing.

While eating, Lin Yang didn’t use the streaming service but instead temporarily focused the camera on Wang Erwen.

Then he went to join Wang Feng for lunch.

The meal, a takeaway from a restaurant, was still hot when delivered by Wang Feng’s arrangement.

Next to him, although Wang Erwen chose not to eat, he had arranged for his several disciples to join Lin Yang and others for the meal.

"Have you ever seen your master lose his temper?" Lin Yang asked Wang Erwen’s disciples.

"No, our master is quite nice and has a good temper," one of the disciples told Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded, feeling reassured for the afternoon, "Come on, eat, eat up everyone."

While they were eating, Wang Erwen’s chance came.

After four consecutive strikes, the float suddenly sank.

He lifted the rod!

Fish on!

The fishing line buzzed erratically, indicating that the fish was not small.

"I won’t let you get away this time," Wang Erwen muttered under his breath, extremely cautious.

Having been overly excited before, he was careful to handle the situation this time.

Seeing their master hook a fish, several disciples immediately put down their meals and ran over to help.

The Catfish was too big for one person to handle alone; he needed someone to help scoop it up.

Of course, it was possible to manage without help, but since there wasn’t a rule against helping, there was no need to make things complicated.

Watching Wang Erwen’s three disciples go to assist their master, Lin Yang said to Wang Feng, "Are you going to eat these two chicken legs?"

Wang Feng shook his head, as he was treating today, he naturally left the good stuff for others.

Seeing him shake his head, Lin Yang scooped the two chicken legs into his own meal, "If you’re not eating, they probably won’t either. Fishing is really draining. Eat more chicken legs to gain strength, we still have many fish to catch this afternoon."

Wang Feng: "...."

On the other hand, with his disciples’ help, Wang Erwen quickly managed to get the hooked fish onto the shore, "Friends, this one isn’t bad, right? I’ve finally broken the jinx."

Indeed, the Catfish was sizeable, definitely over twenty pounds, and though it wasn’t as large as Lin Yang’s biggest catches, it was still a significant one.

"Master Wang, stop dawdling; hurry up and fish while Master Lin is eating. Once Master Lin finishes his meal, you won’t have a chance to catch fish," someone teased.

"I think the fish here just like to bully masters from out of town."

After putting the fish into the keepnet, Wang Erwen immediately regained his spirit. With the first one caught, there would be a second, and many more to follow.

At this time, Lin Yang still dared to go for a meal. By the time he returned, all the fish in his spot would have been lured away, he probably wouldn’t catch even one.

"What goes around comes around, this year it’s my turn," Wang Erwen thought to himself, feeling very pleased.

A few minutes later, he indeed caught another one, this fish was also quite decent, weighing about fifteen or sixteen pounds.

Seeing Wang Erwen continuously catch two big fish, Wang Feng, who had already finished eating, turned to Lin Yang and said, "Master Wang has already caught two."

Lin Yang hummed in response, "Let him catch a couple more, otherwise, if he really gets angry, I’m afraid I can’t handle him alone."

Wang Feng was exasperated, "I don’t think Master Wang would be that volatile."

"A person pushed to the limit can do anything. It’s better to be careful, otherwise if I get hurt, I won’t be able to handle the big fish anymore."

After resting for over ten minutes and collecting himself post-meal, Lin Yang returned to his fishing spot.

Seeing him approach, Wang Erwen’s heart thumped nervously, and he couldn’t help saying, "Master Lin, wouldn’t you like to rest a bit more after eating and drinking your fill?"

Lin Yang waved his hand and said casually, "No more resting, if I rest any more, you, Master Wang, might surpass me. I don’t want to lose."

Wang Erwen: "...."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the viewers in the live stream couldn’t contain their laughter.

"Didn’t I say, Master Wang is really scared of Master Lin."

"I told you to catch more while Master Lin was eating. Now look, Master Lin is back, and you’re probably going to be left out in the cold."

"I think Master Wang better take a break to adjust his attitude and then cancel today’s sparring to continue tomorrow."

"That’s a viable option. Absolutely do not sit so close to Master Lin tomorrow..."

Settling back into his fishing spot, Lin Yang prepared his bait and began casting again.

Because he had been delayed by his meal for nearly half an hour, all the fish in his spot had been lured away by Wang Erwen, and after several casts, he got no bites.

Seeing the weather gradually improving, he adjusted his float up several tens of centimeters, fishing in approximately one meter of water.

After drawing through one meter of water for a while, catfish were quickly lured back.

Soon after, black float, lifting the rod, fish on, the entire sequence was flawless.

One fish in the keepnet, two fish in the keepnet...

By just before four in the afternoon, Lin Yang had caught about ten large catfish, most of them weighing between ten to fifteen pounds.

A day of fishing had resulted in a bursting keepnet.

Unfortunately, every time he played a fish, it wasted a bit of time. If these big catfish could just be lifted directly into the keepnet, today he might have completely filled it up.

More than an hour ago, Wang Erwen had stopped casting; no matter how much he drew, there were simply no fish in his spot.

If there are no fish in the spot, what’s the point of fishing?

He simply sat on his tackle box, sincerely watching Lin Yang’s performance.

Finally, unable to bear watching any longer, he said to Lin Yang, "Master Lin, let’s call it a day, shall we?"

Lin Yang shrugged indifferently, "Sure, I’ve caught quite a few today anyway."

Inside his keepnet, there were now at least three to four hundred pounds of fish, completely outperforming Wang Erwen.

"Although you’ve won, Master Lin, I’m still not convinced. Our spots were too close together, the fish only ate your bait and not mine. How about we have another round tomorrow? If you win again tomorrow, I’ll give you another twenty thousand yuan, and if you lose, there’s no penalty for you."

Just like Zhang Qiang before him, the fishing master really couldn’t stand losing. If there was a chance to challenge, he must take it; winning was what mattered, money was not the issue.

However, speaking of which, Wang Erwen was indeed generous, spending twenty thousand yuan just to challenge Lin Yang to a win or lose.

Seeing the prospect of twenty thousand yuan, Lin Yang readily agreed. Why pass up free money, right? Besides, he could catch catfish for free as well. Where else could he find such a deal?
