Chapter 356: Chapter 184: End of the First Half_2

For a moment, the audience in the live broadcasting room seemed distracted, and during this time, Xia Xiaoxue and Old Chen were dragging out their time with random comments.

However, just then, Lin Yang, who had been mostly concentrating on Wang Feng, suddenly spoke up.

"Here it comes, fish on line 34."

"Huh?" On hearing Lin Yang’s words, Xia Xiaoxue and Old Chen, as well as everyone in the live broadcasting room, including the director, instantly switched their views to station 34 where Wang Feng was.

But when everyone shifted their gaze over, they realized that there was no fish on Wang Feng’s line. Just as Xia Xiaoxue was pondering whether there was a broadcasting accident,

in the live broadcast screen, Wang Feng suddenly raised his rod. The arc of the rod and the sound of the line cutting through the water also reached the ears of Xia Xiaoxue and the audience.

"Wow, it really got one, what fish is that?"

Seeing Wang Feng had indeed caught a fish on the screen, Xia Xiaoxue also shouted out immediately.

"It looks like a white carp, roughly between 14 to 16 pounds, slightly skewed mouth, this is good news, the school of fish has come over." Upon hearing Xia Xiaoxue’s shout, Lin Yang nodded and began to speak.

"Really? How can he be so sure? This isn’t scripted, right?"

"Look, the battle of the kings definitely has a script. He hadn’t even landed the fish, and he already knew what fish it was and its size. Could it be any more fake?"

"The guy before must be foolish, go check some sound or some fish, see if it’s fake. There are no less than 100 live broadcasters at Qiandao Lake broadcasting this battle of the kings."

"How does the host know what fish it is? Does he have X-ray vision?"

"Don’t you guys know how awesome Master Lin is? I believe him anyway."

Listening to Lin Yang’s very confident remarks, most of the audience in the live broadcasting room remained skeptical, as it was truly unbelievable that someone could know the type of fish caught before it even emerged from the water.

For a moment, Xia Xiaoxue and Old Chen were also unsure about what was going on with Lin Yang.

So at this time, they could only follow the script, discussing things like the action of Wang Feng’s fishing rod, the line used, and the size of the hook.

About six or seven minutes later, after three efforts, the fish in the water finally exhausted its strength, was brought up to the surface by Wang Feng, coughed a few times, and was slowly pulled to the shore.

When the drone’s close-up shot went over, at this point, Xia Xiaoxue, Old Chen, and quite a few viewers in the room all gasped, because they could now see that the fish was indeed a Carp.

Lin Yang had been right about the species of the fish. Now, they just needed to confirm whether the fish weighed as he had estimated, 14 to 16 pounds.

When Wang Feng’s assistant, Xiao Zhang, skillfully scooped the fish onto the shore, an official in charge of recording quickly came over to weigh the fish. The camera focused on the scale, which read 7466g, just 34g shy of 15 pounds.

When this number appeared, the chat in the live streaming room started exploding again.

"Wow, this guy’s got something, that’s way too accurate."

"Still say there’s no script? If there’s no script, I’ll twist off my head. This is absurd."

"It is indeed outrageous. The guy determined the type and weight of the fish as soon as it bit the hook. I’m even suspecting if there’s someone placing fish underwater."

Seeing these comments in the live stream, Xia Xiaoxue knew that without a reasonable explanation, it would be hard to conclude the event.

So, she turned to Lin Yang and asked, "Master Lin, how did you know what fish it was? Was it just a guess?"

"It could be said it was a guess, but mainly it was inferred from various factors, from the bait Wang Feng used, the distance between the two hooks he used, and the depth he set his floats, it was evident that his target was the Carp and Catfish, which are upper-layer fish, so it was easier to make an educated guess once he hooked one.

The upper-layer fish include grass carp, white carp, bighead carp, Black fish, Bian Fish, among others. He used a filtered bait, so Black fish, Bian Fish, and others are ruled out, leaving only possibilities of grass carp, white carp, and bighead carp.

Moreover, right after he hooked the fish, although the fishing line was pulled fiercely, there was no intense flicking from one side to the other, nor any rush towards deeper water, hence it’s highly probable, about 85%, that it’s a white carp.

Of course, it’s not 100% certain, I might be wrong, and that would be my mistake. As for the weight, it’s just that I’ve fished a lot, so knowing the hardness of his fishing rod, I could roughly guess."

On hearing Xia Xiaoxue’s question, Lin Yang shared what he knew.

While watching him explain fervently, Xia Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, while Old Chen nodded in great admiration, fully agreeing with his speculation.

"Having fished a lot, one would know. Master Lin is really boasting subtly, huh?"

"I’m actually curious about how many fish he has caught, to be so certain just now."

"It seems there’s a reason this guy was invited as a guest for this competition. He really knows his stuff...."

Listening to Lin Yang’s explanation, some who initially didn’t understand him were slowly starting to be convinced. At least, they were willing to believe and listen to what Lin Yang said.
