Chapter 144: Chapter 127: The Rare Treasure Fish_2

After catching the Golden Cupfish, Lin Yang unlocked a reward of 500 yuan and 5 experience points, along with 0.1% of fishery knowledge. Overall, he considered himself quite lucky.

After catching both Ding Sui and the Golden Cupfish, Lin Yang stopped fishing for Yellow Water Carps on the opposite side, and he didn’t fish for many, catching only one.

He was just doing it to fill up his fish album and to try out the new catches; catching too many would be more than he could eat.

After finishing fishing, he waved to Wang Jian Country and then drove home with the two fish.

....

By the time he got home, it was nearly four in the afternoon.

Since they had hired two extra helpers at home, Old Lin and his wife were not as busy as usual.

As soon as Lin Yang parked his car at his house and was carrying the two fish into the yard, he saw Old Lin coming out of the house carrying a hoe, seemingly off to do something.

"Dad, what are you up to?" Lin Yang asked, puzzled.

"Hey, you know the big fish pond in our village that’s been abandoned for years, right? The village chief said the prices for aquatic products are good recently, and since the pond is lying fallow anyway, he gathered some villagers to clean it up. Later, we’ll collaborate to raise fish and share whatever money we make!"

Listening to his dad’s explanation, Lin Yang understood.

Their village’s big fish pond could also be considered a small reservoir, something Lin Yang had heard about from the village chief as well.

Previously, it was always contracted by the neighboring village, but because people from Qingshan Town were always electrofishing in the reservoir, causing the neighbors to give it up, it had been lying fallow ever since. He hadn’t expected the village chief to suddenly take an interest in that reservoir.

However, he had to admit, if there was no vandalism, the small reservoir definitely had money-making potential given its size of nearly a hundred acres and the fact that its water had never dried up.

Even though there were people who occasionally electrofished or scooped fish out there, surely some fish had survived.

Now that Old Lin was no longer doing any delivery work, having been off work for over a month, and it might be difficult to get any orders, Lin Yang had no objections to his father cleaning up the pond.

After taking the fish to the kitchen and seeing that he had some spare time, Lin Yang started experimenting with cooking again.

At night.

Lin Yang thought it over and, since he had nothing else planned for the next few days, decided to go to Suzhou early the next morning to clear up the mystery about the fish treasure.

If it indeed turned out to be worth a six-figure sum, it would be a substantial income.

Having made his decision, he contacted a person named Xiao Xue through WeChat, a fellow enthusiast he had met online, and they agreed to meet at a big hotel in Suzhou the next afternoon.

Lin Yang had initially planned to book a flight, but upon checking, he discovered that there were direct high-speed trains from Jiangdong City to Suzhou and it would only take a little over four hours.

It’s incredible how fast the high-speed rail developed.

After deciding to set off early the next morning, Lin Yang went to bed early too.

The next morning.

When the old couple heard that Lin Yang was heading out on another long trip, they didn’t say much. After all, having worked away from home for a few years, there wasn’t much to worry about, just to stay safe.

After Lin Yang packed up and instructed his parents and Yue’er, he drove off to the train station.

He arrived at the train station around eight in the morning, just in time for his 8:15 a.m high-speed train ticket, leaving him a few minutes to board.

....

Just past twelve noon, Lin Yang, pulling a suitcase, exited the Suzhou Train Station. The morning high-speed train arrived ten minutes earlier than expected.

Instead of taking a taxi to the big hotel he had agreed upon yesterday, Lin Yang waited at the entrance.

During the train ride, Xiao Xue, the fellow fishing enthusiast, had sent him several messages saying she was free and would personally pick him up from the train station.

This unexpectedly gave Lin Yang a strange feeling; he hadn’t expected that he, too, would get picked up one day, and it seemed to be by a female enthusiast.

He had only waited by the roadside for a couple of minutes when a car pulled up in front of him and honked twice.

Lin Yang looked up and saw a sapphire blue BMW X7, the passenger window rolled down, and a woman in white clothing waved at him.

"Master Lin, over here, get in!"

Lin Yang was slightly stunned, not expecting this fellow enthusiast to be not only wealthy but also quite pretty.

However, he wasn’t new to seeing the world, and regaining his composure, he first stowed his suitcase in the trunk of the X7 before climbing into the passenger seat.

Upon entering the car, a faint scent of perfume greeted his nose, indicating that the car was frequently driven by the woman.

"Hello, thank you for this," he said after buckling up, greeting the pretty fellow enthusiast.

"No problem, Master Lin. Just call me Xiao Xue," Lin Yang nodded, and then the car drove off.

As they drove along, the two occasionally chatted.

It was only then that Lin Yang learned that this fellow enthusiast named Xiao Xue had the surname Xia and was also passionate about fishing.

She had first seen Lin Yang’s livestream on her phone by chance.

When she saw Lin Yang pulling up a huge catfish, she immediately showed the livestream to her grandfather, and as they watched, they realized Lin Yang had pulled a somewhat unusual stone from the fish’s belly.
