Chapter 37

Liao Xuexue was confused.

It was the first time she had seen her grandfather lose his composure like that.

Out of filial piety, Liao Xuexue still had to listen to her grandfather although she did not believe him.

Liao Xuexue shook her head and rejected the bet with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen clicked his tongue and sighed with regret.

A few minutes ago, he suddenly received a system prompt in his mind.

Predictive Ability activated: fish for another six minutes and you will get ??? x1

Weight: 1.92 kilograms

Length: 20 centimeters

Value: ???

As a fishing pro, Ye Chen had not been able to catch any fish.

However, even if one had never eaten pork, one would have seen a pig run.

In addition, Ye Chen’s theoretical knowledge could be considered expert level. It was too easy for him to determine the type of fish.

1.92 kilograms and 20 centimeters long was the weight and length of a carp.

Other than a carp, Ye Chen could not think of anything else that could have such weight and length.

At the same time, carp was also one of the best fish to catch. Many new fishing pros would catch a carp first.

The length of a carp was usually between 3 to 30 centimeters.

Small carps were common, but carps that weighed 1.92 kilograms were rare at Seyves Reservoir.

Therefore, Ye Chen believed that he would be able to catch a big living carp this time!

If Mr. Liao or Liao Xuexue were to bet with Ye Chen, Ye Chen would definitely win the bet.

However, Mr. Liao was probably traumatized.

It was fine if he didn’t want to bet, but he didn’t even let his granddaughter bet.

What a pity.

Just as Ye Chen was sighing, a crisp lark-like voice came from beside him, “Mr. Ye, I really don’t believe it. Why don’t we have a bet?”

When Ye Chen heard that, he could not help but be stunned.

Liao Xuexue actually “took the bait” herself?

Ye Chen was overjoyed.

With the system, Ye Chen was able to win every bet he made.

Three minutes had passed since the system’s notification.

Hence, Ye Chen quickly lowered his voice and said, “All right, I’ll tell you how we’re going to bet. After six minutes… No, it’s three minutes later. I’ll catch a fish- No, I mean I’ll catch something that’s 20 centimeters long and 1.92 kilograms. The margin of error won’t exceed 1 centimeter and 1 kilogram respectively.”

Initially, Ye Chen wanted to say that he would catch a fish, but he felt that something was not right.

Although he felt that there was a high chance of catching a big carp this time, it was only a feeling.

Ye Chen could only blame the system for always making him fish up outrageous things.

Moreover, Ye Chen was betting with Liao Xuexue, so it was better to play it safe.

Liao Xuexue, who was sitting on the side, was once again shocked by Ye Chen.

This time, Ye Chen actually added that the error would not exceed 1 centimeter and 1 kilogram respectively.

Originally, Liao Xuexue had felt that Ye Chen’s ability to predict the future was too outrageous.

Of course, Liao Xuexue didn’t even sense it herself, even though her grandfather had warned her countless times, that Ye Chen wasn’t a good person.

Liao Xuexue felt that Ye Chen’s character was quite good. As a fishing pro, Ye Chen was not only young but handsome. Most importantly, he had a good personality and did not put on airs.

That was why Liao Xuexue had made a bet with Ye Chen.

“What if it’s not caught, or there’s a difference in weight and length?” Liao Xuexue asked quietly.

Ye Chen revealed a sneaky smile. This time, he had decided to make Mr. Liao suffer a huge blow.

“If I win, you’ll return your salary to me. How about it?”

Ye Chen knew that Liao Xuexue was still kept in the dark by Mr. Liao. She really thought that she was an assistant that Ye Chen had hired.

However, this lie would not last for long.

After all, Ye Chen was too popular on the internet.

If Liao Xuexue had seen the entire video from the previous night, she would have learned the truth.

At that time, Liao Xuexue would definitely return Mr. Liao’s 14,000.

Hence, Ye Chen, who had always valued money, naturally thought of this bet.

However, Liao Xuexue hesitated. “Ah, I see. Then wouldn’t that be gambling?”

The corner of Ye Chen’s eyes twitched, then he explained, “How does this count as gambling? Think about it. If I win, you’ll return the money to me and you’ll be working for me for free.”

Liao Xuexue rolled her eyes. “Are you treating me as an idiot? Isn’t that gambling? But… Since the money was originally yours, it doesn’t matter if I lose it to you. What if you lose?”

Ye Chen furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. Then, he pointed to the agricultural tractor behind him. “If I lose, I’ll give you this tractor. I bought it this morning. It’s a one-handed tricycle, and it cost me 20,000.”

Liao Xuexue burst out laughing. “I… I don’t want your tractor! How about this? If you lose, you’ll lend me your fishing gear, and you’ll be in charge of making a bait container and carrying the fishing bucket. I… I also want to try fishing.”

Liao Xuexue seemed to be a little shy at the end of her sentence, and her voice was especially soft.

But she was not as reserved as before. After Liao Xuexue spoke, she even made a face at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had to admit that she was quite cute.

However, no matter how cute Liao Xuexue was, money was a more practical choice.

Ye Chen turned to look at Mr. Liao who was staring at him warily from a distance. He smiled at Liao Xuexue and said, “Sure, no problem!”

“You’re not allowed to go back on your word!” Liao Xuexue seemed to be very confident in herself as she waved her pink fist and said excitedly.

“Don’t go back on your word when the time comes. I’m afraid you won’t admit your loss.” Ye Chen’s lips curled up.

“I won’t. Pinky promise!” Liao Xuexue extended her cute little finger.

“Tsk.” Although Ye Chen looked disgusted, he still hooked his pinky with Liao Xuexue’s pinky.

After completing the ritualistic bet, Ye Chen’s heart was already bursting with joy.

How long would it take for Mr. Liao to save up 14,000?

Ye Chen thought that if Mr. Liao were to find out, he would cry till his eyes reddened.

Not far away, Mr. Liao, who had finally shifted his gaze from Ye Chen to the fishing float, could not help but sneeze.

Then, Mr. Liao suddenly turned his head and looked in Ye Chen’s direction, his face full of anger.

That little b*stard must be talking about him behind his back again.

At the same time, he glanced at his watch.

“Hmmm…”

There were less than 30 seconds left until the deadline for Ye Chen to catch a big carp.
