It was half a month ago that Liao Xuexue had probably met Ye Chen. When her grandfather was still not home even though it was very late, Liao Xuexue had no choice but to call her grandfather, who was fishing outside, to come home.

The reason why Liao Xuexue had an impression of Ye Chen was that her grandfather’s fishing friends were mostly old men or middle-aged men, and Ye Chen was the only young man in her grandfather’s fishing circle.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After all, Ye Chen was a professional fishing athlete, unlike her grandfather and the group of old men who fished for leisure.

Even so, Liao Xuexue did not have a good impression of Ye Chen.

After all, on top of her grandfather’s warning, Liao Xuexue was called “silly girl” by Ye Chen.

While Liao Xuexue was deep in thought, the young man standing by the tractor had already unloaded all the things in it.

There were relatively more fishing gear and two big bags of what looked like feed. Other than those, there were also incense sticks, incense papers, an urn, and so on.

Even though Ye Chen was a little frivolous, he still had the demeanor of a gentleman.

Ye Chen didn’t ask Liao Xuexue to carry any heavy items, but only asked her to help carry some lighter items. For example, Ye Chen had carried the bags of food to the shore by himself.

Nevertheless, Liao Xuexue was determined to just focus on the job. Whenever Ye Chen called her “silly girl”, Liao Xuexue only glared at him and did not say anything.

Just like that, Ye Chen made a few trips back and forth the tractor and the shore.

The two of them moved the things from the back of the tractor to the fishing spot on the shore, which was beside Liao Xuexue’s grandfather.

Next, it was time for Ye Chen to start fishing.

Liao Xuexue hoped that this “Mr. Ye”, who allegedly had a problematic lifestyle, could behave decently while fishing.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was simply using “silly girl” as a form of address and didn’t attach any underlying meaning to it.

Of course, it was partly to anger Mr. Liao.

Presently, Mr. Liao’s granddaughter was sitting on the stool next to Ye Chen.

Mr. Liao’s attention was not on the fishing float in the distance at all. Instead, he was constantly watching Ye Chen.

As soon as Ye Chen sat down, his fishing buddies began to greet him.

“You’re here, Mr. Ye!”

“Mr. Ye, your newly bought agricultural tractor is really domineering!”

“Mr. Ye, we’ve all learned from you and put the bait in an urn. You don’t say, this thing is really lucky. There are obviously more catches today!”

“Good for you, Mr. Ye. Today, you have an assistant to help carry your fishing bucket, make a bait container, and set up bait. Mr. Ye will surely be on a roll today!”

“Mr. Ye, hurry up and start. I saw you on the internet again this morning. If you turn on your live stream, there will definitely be a lot of people watching!”

“You’re very popular now, Mr. Ye. You’ll probably be a celebrity in the future!

…

Ye Chen only remembered about live streaming when he heard the words of the fishing pros around him.

So, he quickly found his phone stand, put his phone on it, connected his phone to a power bank, and started live streaming.

“D*mn!” As soon as Ye Chen started his live stream, the number of viewers in the stream room crossed 10,000, and the number of people was still rising.

Ye Chen checked his profile and found that his follower count had reached more than three million. Ye Chen could not help but be shocked by the number.

Ye Chen still remembered that when he had just woken up in the morning, his follower count had just broken through a million, which was already shocking.

Who would have thought that in just a few hours, his follower count would increase by more than two million?

The group of fishing pros was indeed right. After the incident at the river bank of Jiang City the previous night, he had become incredibly famous.

Ye Chen adjusted the camera angle and looked at the comments section in the live stream room.

It seemed that the netizens had been waiting for him.

“D*mn, the Skunked King is finally live streaming!”

“F*ck, just last night, East Sea’s King of Fishing was spouting nonsense about how this streamer would stop streaming about fishing and think about how to scam money instead.”

“Is it really the person himself? D*ng!”

“Mr. Ye, you’re so popular now. Don’t forget us old fans!”

“Actually, I don’t like fishing, but I enjoy seeing strange incidents. I came to this live stream room just to watch strange things happen to the streamer live!”

“Streamer, do you know that you’re still on trending on the search engine? And you’re ranked third!”

“Mr. Ye, did Mr. Liao bring his granddaughter along today in accordance with the bet?”

“I’ve been waiting for you to start live streaming since I saw the news last night.”

“I saw the incident when I was scrolling through recommended short videos. It was such a shocker!”

“Today, I’ll make a bold guess. Mr. Ye will definitely get skunked again as usual!”

…

In the live stream room, the comments section refreshed quickly, dazzling Ye Chen.

At the same time, there were all kinds of gifts that accompanied the comments.

Other than a small number of Ye Chen’s old fans who had been following him from the start, most of the viewers had come because of the corpse-catching incident the previous day.

Faced with so many questions, Ye Chen had no way of answering them all.

Thus, Ye Chen picked a few questions that everyone was curious about and answered, “Thank you for everyone’s attention. Fishing is my hobby and the career I’m pursuing. I won’t give up on fishing no matter what. Today, I’ve come to Seyves Reservoir for wild fishing. In other words, fishing in natural rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and the like.”

Ye Chen continued, “Of course, wild fishing demands quite a lot of skill. But success doesn’t come without risks. Now, we’re going to start fishing. ‘Making a bait container’ refers to placing bait into the target fishing area. This is an important step in fishing. All right, let’s start making a bait container.”

The corner of Mr. Liao’s mouth twitched as he listened. If one were close enough to Mr. Liao, they would have heard Mr. Liao cursing Ye Chen out. “You can’t even catch a single living fish, and you’re still teaching others?”

As for Ye Chen, he carried five sacks filled with bait over.

Each sack weighed 60 kilograms, which translated to five sacks weighing 300 kilograms.

The viewers in the live stream room were all dumbfounded.

The sweet girl sitting on the folding stool at the side – Liao Xuexue – took the opportunity to glance at the number of viewers in Ye Chen’s live stream room, and she was shocked.

As expected of Mr. Ye. He had high viewership.
