"This fish is so big, it’s enough for us to eat." Yang Ruoxi couldn’t contain her excitent and walked forward, squatting down to poke at the fish scales with her hand.
"Ruoxi, you should step back, standing here affects my performance." Chen Yang said to her.
During fishing, having too many people around can indeed be distracting, so Chen Yang asked Yang Ruoxi to step back and watch later.
"Alright, good luck!!"
Yang Ruoxi giggled and cheered for Chen Yang, then got up and returned to where she was standing before.
Once the crowd was calm again, Chen Yang didn’t waste any ti; he imdiately put a bait ball on the hook again and cast the fishing line into the lake.
"This young guy is really sothing. It’s only been a few minutes, and he’s already caught such a big fish; I guess Wang Ergou is in trouble now."
Since catching a fish, the spectators’ attitudes made a 180-degree turn, and they all began to support Chen Yang.
Many believed that Chen Yang was a skilled expert.
But so, including Wang Ergou, thought it was just a coincidence—how could there be soone so skilled?
The two parties discussed briefly, but before any conclusion was reached, the lake moved again after just three or four minutes.
"Wow!! Seems like there’s another fish!"
Soone suddenly shouted.
In a flash, everyone at the scene stopped discussing and turned their gazes toward the surface of the lake.
Indeed!!
The lake was definitely moving, indicating that a fish had taken the bait!
"No way! Again? So soon?"
Previously, Wang Ergou was relatively calm, but seeing a second fish caught so quickly, he beca unsettled.
He quickly strode forward, arriving at the lakeside, eager to know whether the fish caught this ti was big or small, matching the wager of fifteen pounds?
Initially, these fishing veterans could easily estimate the size of the underwater fish based on the surface movent, but the fish Chen Yang just hauled up was so big.
It made him lose confidence a bit, rendering him reluctant to make a hasty judgnt.
Not only was he curious, but the spectators were also unable to resist stepping forward, keen to see how big a fish Chen Yang would reel in.
"A fish is on the hook."
The others might not know, but Chen Yang could sense it. Judging by the tugging force, even though it was smaller than the previous one, it was surely over fifteen pounds!
He softly said, then started exerting force, maneuvering the rod to lift the fish out of the water.
Others, when catching fish weighing fifteen or twenty pounds, needed to perform a series of operations.
Because the force exerted by fish underwater is substantial, once hooked, they tend to thrash around.
But the fish Chen Yang caught showed no signs of struggle at all; with a slight exertion of force, he pulled it up.
It appeared on the water’s surface.
"It’s big! This one is big too! Surely around fifteen pounds!"
"This is it for Wang Ergou! The second one is caught; one more and it’s over."
The spectators reacted with shock and schadenfreude respectively.
Wang Ergou remained silent, but his face looked very grim.
Chen Yang slowly dragged the fish to the shore, and using a net, he quickly scooped it up.
Afterwards, he weighed it on a scale—fifteen pounds and eight ounces! Just t the requirent!
"This is the second one, the third one is coming soon." While removing the hook, Chen Yang smiled and reminded Wang Ergou beside him.
Wang Ergou’s face showed obvious panic; after all, this was a bet for ten thousand bucks.
If he lost, two months of his wages would go down the drain—how could he not be heartbroken?
But he remained defiant.
"You just got lucky! I don’t believe you can catch a third one!" Wang Ergou said.
"Alright, watch closely then." Chen Yang, disinclined to argue, simply focused on his fishing.
As he said this, he prepared the bait on the hook again, and with the sa technique, he cast the food into the vicinity where he caught the fish.
Seeing the bait going in, Wang Ergou surely felt anxious inside.
His crafty eyes flickered; convinced he couldn’t sit still, he went back to his original fishing spot, grabbed the fish food, and began baiting his own spot.
Huge amounts of fish food were thrown into the water, causing ripples on the originally calm surface, potentially disturbing the fish underwater.
"What are you doing? We’re trying to fish here; why stir the water?" Yang Ruoxi imdiately questioned upon seeing the situation.
"Can’t handle losing? A simple principle of accepting a bet’s outco, surely you understand?" Wu Kexin and Li Han also noticed Wang Ergou’s tactics and imdiately reprimanded him.
But Wang Ergou remained unfazed, showing no signs of embarrassnt.
"Ladies, aren’t you being a bit too harsh? When did I beco such a sore loser? I’m just trying to fish by baiting my own spot. I didn’t throw anything into your spot, so what’s the problem?" Wang Ergou sneered as he replied.
"You’re blatantly causing trouble!" Yang Ruoxi said furiously.
"I’m not! I’m just fishing for myself! Throwing food into my spot has nothing to do with you!" Wang Ergou insisted, continuing to agitate the water without restraint.
The spectators saw it and knew Wang Ergou was playing dirty—clearly acting like a sore loser.
Though he baited his own spot, throwing such a substantial amount of food would surely impact Chen Yang.
Disturbing the water might cause the fish to flee.
Moreover, throwing so much food might well lure all the fish under Chen Yang’s rod away.
With lots of better-tasting food, the fish would surely flock over.
"Ugh, doesn’t want to play fair, such a rascal."
"The young guy might have had a good chance before, but now, it’s looking tough."
People comnted, but Wang Ergou ignored them, indifferently continuing his reckless baiting.
Yang Ruoxi, by nature impatient, couldn’t hold back after hearing the potential serious consequences from others.
"Wang Ergou, stop it! Or I’ll kick over your fishing setup." Yang Ruoxi threatened angrily, about to take action.
Wang Ergou was worried about Chen Yang catching a third fish, hoping for so conflict to arise to sweep the matter away.
So naturally, he wouldn’t stop; he even intensified his actions!
Yang Ruoxi didn’t realize Wang Ergou’s intentions. Seeing him continue, she was about to kick over his setup.
But then! Good news ca!
"Ruoxi! Calm down! Chen Yang seems to have caught a fish!" Wu Kexin suddenly shouted.
Yang Ruoxi and Wang Ergou imdiately turned their gazes toward Chen Yang’s direction.
Indeed! The fishing line was swaying side to side, the surface showed struggling ripples—clear signs of a fish catching!
And compared to previous ripples, this fish was definitely very large!
"He really caught a fish! Chen Yang, you’re aweso!" Seeing Chen Yang catch a fish, Yang Ruoxi’s anger instantly disappeared, replaced by surprise and excitent as she rushed to the lakeside, carefully observing the situation.
"This... how can this be!" Wang Ergou gritted his teeth in anger, disbelief written all over his face!
"He’s caught a fish, caught a fish, and looking at the situation, it’s really big."
Suddenly, the mood at the site was fully energized, everyone’s attention shifted entirely from Wang Ergou to Chen Yang.
