Chapter 626: Chapter 271: The Irritable Fish Mood

Once on board, Lin Yang immediately started the live broadcast.

In less than a minute after the broadcast started, the number of viewers in the live room reached an astonishing 30,000 and was still skyrocketing.

"The host has finally started the broadcast, front row!"

"Hello, Master Lin, I am a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily. May I get a contact method? We can’t reach you by phone."

"Host, you’ve become popular, you’re number one on today’s updated Weibo hot search!"

"+1 to the one above, I found out about the host just because of the hot search. I’m a newbie who just started following you today, please take care of me."

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am a reporter from xx Daily. Are you accepting exclusive interviews? We are very sincere and will definitely make you satisfied."

"Hello Mr. Lin, we’re from Star Sky Artist Agency. I wonder if you have any plans to enter the entertainment industry? With your qualifications, we can offer an eight-figure signing fee, details can be discussed, my phone number is...."

.....

Good lord, normally when broadcasting, most of the followers in the live room are those who enjoy watching fishing, but today’s broadcast completely changed the style of the bullet comments.

A variety of accounts from the media, institutions, and even talent agencies were spamming the live room. To ensure Lin Yang would see them, they even spent a lot of money to use the platform’s Hongyan Passbook virtual prop.

To speak in Lin Yang’s live room with over 50,000 concurrent viewers cost at least ten yuan per message, but these people did not hesitate to spend the money, frantically spamming for fear that the opportunity would be snatched away by competitors.

Seeing this, Lin Yang was a bit dumbfounded. After a brief adjustment, he steadied his mindset: "Good morning, everyone! I am Lin Yang, and currently, we are in the Sahalin region of Far East Russia, near the Amur River estuary. The Russian fishing trip will end tomorrow and we’re preparing to return to our country. We’re just out at sea near the coast today to have some fun and experience the reportedly fierce fish temperament here.

To the brothers who keeps spamming messages, please hold on a moment. I don’t have any mobile signal where I am, so I won’t be dealing with any matters until I’m back in the country the day after tomorrow.

So, please relax and watch the live broadcast for now. In a little while we will reach our destination, and I’ll show everyone what kinds of sea fishing resources are available near Sahalin."

With these words spoken.

Indeed, the flurry of messages in the live room drastically reduced. The host had said he would deal with matters only once back in the country, and since there was no way to contact him at the moment, it was pointless to continue spamming any further.

"Host, your video of fishing a wild boar with a sea rod from the day before yesterday was so cool. I only recorded and posted it casually, but I didn’t expect it to reach over a million views in just one day. I tagged you in the video, that should earn you quite a few new followers, right?"

"What kinds of fish are we fishing for today? You’re not going to fish for emperor crabs out at sea again, are you?"

"The WeChat group has already been set up. We’re just waiting for the host to return. Damn it, it won’t be long before a few of us can also go fishing in Russia. Just thinking about it is so exciting!"

Lin Yang glanced at the bullet comments: "Today we do not have a specific target fish, so we can say that whatever we catch counts. However, Uncle Victor told me that there are plenty of fish resources near the coast. I’ve also followed his advice and changed to the Chain Hook Fishing Method suitable for medium and small fish. When we arrive at the destination, we can try our luck."

The fishing boat continued for about another fifteen minutes when the scenery suddenly cleared up. The estuary view became much wider, the trees by the riverbank decreased, and the distant sea appeared boundless.

Arriving at the mouth of the river and traveling for another ten minutes or so, the boat came to a stop. Uncle Victor directly dropped the anchor and also picked up a stout-looking fishing rod and walked up to the railing of the boat.

Victor: "We can start fishing now. Today’s schedule is simple, so I’m going to relax a bit too."

Lin Yang looked at Uncle Victor’s rudimentary Chain Hook Fishing rig and asked, "Do we need any specific fishing methods or rigs here? Your Chain Hook seems a bit crude. Shall I change it for you? I brought quite a few, and I have plenty of spares."

The Chain Hook Fishing rig Uncle Victor used was indeed crude. It was evidently tied haphazardly, the knotting might have been alright, but the lengths were uneven, a clear beginner-level setup.

Furthermore, looking at the details, there were rust marks on the hooks, suggesting they had been used before.

Victor shook his head: "No need for such precision, the fish in the sea are crazy. Just fish casually, a simple sinking chain hook method is enough. After the fish come out of the water, if you don’t recognize them, be careful. Some fish have poisonous spines on their dorsal fins or tails. Getting stabbed won’t be fatal, but it will be very uncomfortable."

Since Uncle Victor had said so, Lin Yang could only shrug, although he wasn’t quite convinced.

He had done sea fishing before, and it was nowhere near as easy as Victor made it sound.

But the big Russian was not one to exaggerate, so Lin Yang had no choice but to give it a try.

Uncle Victor casually checked the knots of the fishing rig and then nonchalantly threw the Chain Hook into the water by the boat.

Seeing this, Lin Yang was taken aback.

The hooks were ordinary sea fishing j-hooks, probably around size twenty or so, with a bit of faintly gleaming fish skin attached to the shank. Due to previous use, several hooks had damaged fish skin, and now they were just carelessly tossed into the water.

Did he really think the fish in the water were fools?
