Chapter 138: Chapter 125: The Rare Military Fish_2

Military fish might not be commonly seen by many, but in reality, their numbers are not few—there may not be many in the wild, but there are plenty of them being farmed.

Also, they are omnivorous, and while they do eat little bugs and the like, they’re not much different from grass carp, not ferocious or difficult to catch, just an ordinary type of fish.

Therefore, the reward for unlocking them in the fish index was a few hundred yuan as well as some experience and points.

After fishing for about ten more minutes, besides a few small fish, I hadn’t caught any big fish like the military fish earlier.

Lin Yang looked at the lake in front of him, which was still the same as before, aside from some small schools of fish, without a trace of any large fish; he guessed that the military fish from before had probably strayed into this area by mistake.

"Are you done fishing?"

As he packed up his rod, Yue’er came over and asked curiously. Brother Yang was wrapping things up a bit early.

She had originally expected Lin Yang to keep fishing until 10:30 before leaving, but looking at the time, it was still five minutes shy of ten.

"I’m done, there are mostly just small fish here, and it’s not that interesting to catch them. I was planning to take a few larger fish home, but now I think I’ll pass."

Lin Yang packed up his gear, releasing all the small fish except for the one weighing over two pounds—the military fish.

Then he placed the military fish into a bag. Without water, fish actually don’t die that easily; if you add water, it can cause them to suffocate due to lack of oxygen.

After getting everything ready, Yue’er walked with Lin Yang towards the Mingyue Lake cable car.

Once on the cable car, their descent was rapid.

They had set off in the morning around seven, walked for an hour to reach the limestone cave, fished for half an hour inside, hiked for another hour to Mingyue Lake, and then spent half an hour there...

After getting on the cable car, they sat for about over forty minutes, and including travel time on foot, they reached the foot of the mountain by not yet eleven.

At the mountain base, they took a touring car back to the parking lot at another main entrance to Mingyue Mountain.

When they had arrived the day before yesterday, they had started their ascent from here.

The two first went back to the inn they had stayed at the previous night, handed over the military fish to the inn’s kitchen to ask for help in cooking it, and finished everything by around eleven-thirty.

After eating and resting, they embarked on their return journey after twelve.

All in all, this fishing trip to Mingyue Mountain had been a very nice experience—not only did they catch a gigantic six-bearded catfish, but they also caught many other rare small fish, and they had toured around Mingyue Mountain’s scenery.

This trip could indeed be described as very worthwhile!

They returned to Qingyang Town in Jiangdong City, and it was nearly six in the evening.

In the evening, Lin Yang started browsing on his phone again.

He had spent the day fishing, touring, or driving, and didn’t have much time to check private messages.

Ever since he caught that enormous catfish the day before yesterday, more and more people had been sending him private messages.

When Lin Yang opened his account, his inbox was already overflowing with 99+ messages.

He glanced briefly, noticing many kinds of messages—invitations to fish in various places, offers for apprenticeships, collaborations, and many inquiries regarding the ’fish treasure’ he’d found.

Among these messages, several people were asking if the ’treasure’ extracted from the belly of the giant catfish was for sale.

Even though he didn’t know what it was, clearly many people were interested in that stone.

Out of curiosity, Lin Yang took out the beautifully colored stone again, the one many viewers called a ’fish treasure,’ firm and smooth as jade, indeed not like a common rock.

Since he had been busy all day, he hadn’t taken the time to properly examine it, but now that he did, he found it indeed extraordinary; however, he couldn’t say for sure what it was.

"Never mind, I’ll get it tested when I have time to find out what it is." Lin Yang put away the ’fish treasure’ and continued checking his messages.

However, a distinctive message soon caught his attention.

It was from a viewer with the ID ’Xiao Xue’ followed by a special symbol.

The message read, "Hello, host, are you selling the pearl from the fish’s belly? We’ll offer a high price!"

The content was similar to many other viewers, all wanting to purchase his pearl, but unlike the others, she mentioned a high price.

Other viewers were looking to snag a bargain, casually mentioning whatever price they fancied.

So why was Lin Yang sure that this ID named Xiao Xue wasn’t just bluffing?

The reason was simple—during the day Lin Yang had stopped streaming, Xiao Xue had sent him several gifts, and they were all substantial, each worth thousands.

A viewer who could send so many expensive gifts definitely was not short on money, and her mention of a high price was likely indeed not low.

Thinking this, Lin Yang clicked on her profile and sent her a private message: "Do you know what that pearl is?"

After sending the message, he tried to open her homepage to check her activities.

There weren’t many posts on her homepage, and there were no videos or pictures showing her face, but it was clear that she had a very comfortable lifestyle.
