Chapter 3

“Tsk, tsk. Chen, I’ve been fishing my entire life. Do you know what my nickname is?”

“Angry Iron Hand!”

“Listen, I don’t rely on bait. I rely on excellent techniques, wrist strength, and arm strength. It doesn’t matter what bait you use. Hahaha.”

Ye Chen returned to his hideout with a bitter expression.

Ten thousand “f*ck you”s were running wildly in his mind.

Helplessly, Ye Chen could only complain to the viewers in the live stream room about his grievances.

“What does Mr. Liao mean by relying on skills? There was already a big bite and all he did was pull the rod up, yet he still said so much to me. That miser obviously doesn’t want to give me the bait.”

The viewers in the live stream room laughed so hard that they couldn’t close their mouths. For a while, the comments section was rowdy.

“This is hilarious. Mr. Ye has been fishing here for an entire day and hasn’t caught a single fish. Mr. Liao just arrived and he already caught a giant grass carp!”

“Mr. Ye, are you going to have no fate with fish in this life?”

“Angry Iron Hand, hahahaha. This nickname is killing me. It’s ridiculous!”

“Streamer, the day you catch a fish will be the day I unsubscribe to your channel.”

“I wanna say that the streamer is the Skunked King, but he just happens to be able to catch something every time. Still, it’s never a fish, so it’s inaccurate to say he isn’t skunked either!”

“It’s ridiculous that he didn’t catch a single fish, but the streamer is still trying very hard to catch. This spirit is worth learning.”

“Hahahaha, it’s f*cking ridiculous. Today is another day of Mr. Ye getting skunked.”

…

“I don’t believe it. If I don’t catch a giant creature today, I’m not going home!” Ye Chen pursed his lips. Those words were not only meant for the viewers in the live stream but also for Mr. Liao who was far away.

An hour later, the fishing pros around Ye Chen had caught some fish. That especially included Mr. Liao, who was raking in lots of catches.

Meanwhile, the poor Ye Chen had not even caught small shrimp or crabs, let alone fish.

Compared to having no catch at all, Ye Chen was even more furious at Mr. Liao’s outburst whenever he got a catch, be it small or big.

“F*ck, it’s another fish! Watch me furiously empty out the river tonight! Hehehe, I’m unbeatable! F ** k, it’s another bite!”

As Mr. Liao spoke, he did not forget to look at Ye Chen beside him with a teasing look, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

If not for his desire to get together with Mr. Liao’s fairy-like granddaughter, Ye Chen would have kicked Mr. Liao into the river long ago.

In any case, for a fisherman, only catching the “giant” in the river would deem them skilled. And obviously, Ye Chen didn’t prove himself capable of that. Naturally, he could not lift his head in front of the many fishing pros.

At that moment, there was a beeping sound.

“Detected that the host is a super skunked being that only appears once in a hundred years. The King of Fishing System has been activated,” a mechanical voice rang out in Ye Chen’s mind.

“F*ck, the system really appeared!” mused Ye Chen.

For transmigrators, it was natural to be granted some sort of system.

Ye Chen’s face was brimming with a smile that was close to madness.

“From now on, I’m going to make a comeback!” thought Ye Chen.

Not only would he make a comeback, but he would also become the King of Fishing in the world. Then, he would give those fisherman pros who once laughed at him a hard slap in the face!

Curbing his excitement, Ye Chen quickly began to understand the King of Fishing System he had obtained.

Simply put, it was a system that could make him the King of Fishing.

There was a hologram that only Ye Chen could see.

Through fishing, Ye Chen could obtain experience to level up and unlock achievements. In turn, he could obtain some abilities or rewards.

Name: Ye Chen

Level: level 1

Skills: none

Achievements: none

Looking at the hologram that only he could see, Ye Chen was quickly dumbfounded by the list of achievements attainable.

There were things like Military Arms Salvager, River Rescue, Floating Corpse Night Encounter, Venomous Tongue Encounter, Acupoint Sealing, Good Samaritan, Ghostly Encounter, and Cultural Relic Protection.

What did they have to do with fishing?

What surprised Ye Chen the most was the achievements involving the identification of various biology, minerals, chemistry, and antiques.

Additionally, there were achievements that included collecting various weapons and ammunition, as well as fishing for giant objects that weighed a few tons or tens of tons.

Ye Chen couldn’t think of any other fitting description than a whale.

However, more importantly, there was an eye-catching prompt on the holographic interface.

“By continuing to fish by the riverbank of Jiang City for five minutes, the host will obtain fish x1. Weight: 2.22 kilograms. Value: ?”

Skunked King Ye Chen excitedly raised a brow.

The system would not lie to him. In other words, as long as he continued to fish there for five minutes, he would get a fish weighing 2 kilograms.

Although such a fish was not considered giant, it would be Ye Chen’s first catch ever since transmigrating to this parallel world.

If one wasn’t a fishing pro, it would be difficult to understand his excitement.

It was like discovering an oasis after a long drought.

Moreover, that fish was only the beginning of Ye Chen’s journey.

With the system, the geomancy compass, incense paper, Peach Wood Sword, and all the things Ye Chen had prepared to bring him luck were no longer needed.

Ye Chen even began to imagine what it would look like when he caught a giant creature.

He would definitely carry the fish and strut around the streets to show off.

That was the pride of a fishing pro.

People who drove to fishing sites were not really big shots.

The real fishing pros were those who rode motorcycles or bicycles.

That was because one wouldn’t be able to show off their catches in a car.

Ye Chen glanced at the live stream room and laughed strangely.

“Kekeke. I’ll definitely catch a fish in 5 minutes!” Ye Chen was not only talking to the live stream but also to Mr. Liao.

Meanwhile, the comments section in the live stream room was full of ridicule for Ye Chen.

“Hahaha, the streamer says that every time, but when did he ever catch a fish?”

“He’s never caught any fish and always getting skunked. Wait no, it can’t be considered getting skunked. After all, he always catches something!”

“If you can catch a fish, I’ll gift you a Carnival.”

“Hahaha, is it time for us to unsubscribe once the Skunked King catches a fish?”

“Mr. Ye, if you catch a fish, we won’t subscribe to your channel anymore!”
