I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 341: Surprise

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Surprise

Ye Chen not only has superb fishing skills but also an astonishingly good luck! Everyone believes that if Ye Chen wanted to make money, he would probably have gotten rich long ago.

"Can this kid really catch so many fish, is this for real?" Li Wentao was shocked to his core, his heart filling even more with jealousy. Why can’t such against-heaven luck befall him!

Li Wentao gritted his teeth with envy. At this moment, he wished he could rush over and snatch away Ye Chen’s luck, and try his own fortune.

However, Li Wentao knew that it was impossible to take anything from Ye Chen!

"I don’t believe in this evil luck; I can’t believe you are always this lucky!" Li Wentao gritted his teeth and then took out his fishing bait from his pocket and threw it into the lake.

"Hiss!"

As the bait hit the water, the hook easily landed a fish.

"Holy crap, I actually caught a fish!"

People around instantly exclaimed in surprise.

"Hmph!" Li Wentao looked at Ye Chen triumphantly, his gaze filled with mockery:

"See that? This is the difference. It takes me just several seconds to catch a fish, while you have to spend a long time! You better just give up the competition, and stop embarrassing yourself."

"Is that so?" Ye Chen sneered, choosing not to waste more words and focusing on fishing instead.

This time when Ye Chen fished, he was notably more cautious. These fish were exceptionally cunning, and the moment they sensed danger, they would dive deep into the water.

No matter how one pursued, they always managed to evade, and this time, it even took Ye Chen about thirty minutes to finally catch these fish.

Ye Chen brought all the fish ashore, counted them, and there were a total of fifty-two fish. Among them, there were nineteen Silver Dragon Fish, eight Red Scale Fish, four carp, among others.

After doing the math, Ye Chen’s total profits amounted to a hundred and eighty thousand dollars.

"Wow, that’s so incredible!" The onlookers completely erupted in excitement, these fish weighed at least three pounds each, the largest one weighed seventy to eighty pounds!

Such a feat could definitely be called that of a fishing master!

Li Wentao’s face turned an ashen hue, his fists creaking with tension.

"You lost!" Ye Chen said indifferently.

"Hmph, you just got lucky, there’s no way you can beat me!" Li Wentao snorted and continued fishing.

Ye Chen curled his lips, not bothering with him, and sat by the lake, starting to wash his own clothes.

The onlooking crowd also dispersed, continuing to chat and wait for Li Wentao’s fish to bite.

Time slowly passed by, and in a blink, it was already four in the afternoon.

"Bang!" Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out, the lake surface shook violently, water burst open, and a huge grass carp leaped out of the water!

Li Wentao shouted excitedly, swiftly swinging the fishing rod and giving it a powerful upward yank!

"Splash!" A huge fin shot out of the water!

"Look, a fish is on the hook!" The people around were thrilled.

"Haha, I’ve got one too!" Li Wentao was overjoyed, flinging the fish onto the shore.

"Wow! It’s actually a Silver Dragon Fish!" someone exclaimed in astonishment.

The Silver Dragon Fish is a rare species, expensive to procure, with prices starting at fifty thousand dollars. The one Li Wentao caught weighed a full twenty pounds and could sell for over a hundred thousand.

"Where’s my fish?" Suddenly, a questioning voice arose.

The crowd looked towards the source of the voice and saw Ye Chen standing by the lake, his brows slightly furrowed.

"He must be a fool, it’s this late and he hasn’t caught a single fish."

"Haha! I saw it just now; he let his fish go! He must have been scared off."

"Serves him right for being unlucky, encountering our godlike fisherman is basically suicide."

"I advise you to just scram, so as not to stay here and make a fool of yourself."

"Just that, with someone like you, you also deserve to join in this competition?"

The crowd discussed spiritedly, all casting disdainful and mocking glances at Ye Chen, as if he had committed some heinous sin, drawing the wrath of both heaven and man.

Hearing the words around him, Ye Chen swept a disdainful glance at the crowd and said indifferently:

"I think some people here are the real fools. It’s clearly your own show match, yet you insist on having a competition. Isn’t that just openly scamming yourselves?"

At these words, the people around were suddenly left speechless.

Although they felt that Ye Chen was bragging, what he said was indeed irrefutable.

"Hehe... What you said is not entirely correct." At this moment, Li Wentao stepped forward, sneering:

"Since it’s a competition, there definitely needs to be a wager. If you win, in addition to the prize of 100,000 yuan, you can also take my wallet, all the money I have on me, it’s yours!"

"You’re so straightforward, how can I not agree?" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, since you agree, then continue fishing," Li Wentao looked down on Ye Chen and continued fishing.

Ye Chen shook his head and continued fishing.

Before long, Li Wentao caught another fish, a thirty-pound black-backed carp!

And at this moment, Ye Chen once again pulled up a Silver Dragon Fish!

This shocked everyone present. This scene completely changed their perception.

Li Wentao’s face dripped with gloominess.

He thought he could thoroughly humiliate Ye Chen, but to his surprise, Ye Chen ended up catching more and more fish. Moreover, there were two fifteen-pound fish hanging on Ye Chen’s fishing rod!

"Damn it, this guy’s luck is too good!" Li Wentao’s expression was deeply troubled as he cursed inwardly.

Ye Chen glanced at Li Wentao indifferently and said, "What’s the matter? Are you very frustrated? But don’t worry, I will make sure you lose convincingly."

After speaking, Ye Chen continued to fish, a fishing line dangling into the lake.

Li Wentao gritted his teeth and followed suit in fishing.

Soon, he caught a big eel!

The eel was extremely large, a full two meters long, weighing about four pounds!

"Holy shit, an eel can be caught too, that’s really freaking weird!"

"Now this is going to be interesting."

"It looks like Li Wentao is determined to win today."

The crowd discussed animatedly, looking at Ye Chen and Li Wentao with a schadenfreude expression.

Ye Chen, unfazed, calmly kept fishing.

About half an hour later, he once again hooked a big yellow croaker, weighing six or seven pounds, worth several thousand yuan.

"Hisss... This kid’s luck is against the heavens!"

"Man, comparing people can really kill you!"

The surrounding crowd couldn’t help but sigh, looking enviously at Ye Chen one by one.

Whereas Li Wentao was in a furious rage, glaring at Ye Chen with eyes that seemed to spit fire: "How exactly did you do it?"

"I told you, as long as you have the ability, I’ll let you dispose of me as you see fit." Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

Li Wentao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and resumed fishing.

However, moments later...

"Splosh!"

A golden big fish suddenly took the bait, then wildly thrashed about, causing quite a splash on the water’s surface.

Li Wentao immediately got excited. It looked like this was an uncommonly big fish. If he could successfully reel it in, then he was sure to win.
