Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Article of the East Sea’s King of Fishing

And the self-media who exaggerate and use bombastic words.

They all intentionally or unintentionally added a certain level of popularity to Ye Chen.

Under the push and influence of these people.

A headline that read: "Fishing streamer Ye Chen, caught a corpse yesterday, and a five-meter giant python today!"

Once again surged to the top of Weibo’s trending searches, ranking in the top five!

At the same time, ranking ninth on Weibo’s trending searches was: "Identity of the streamer who fished out a corpse at Jiang City River revealed, today’s live stream hits 400,000 viewers!"

Also, remaining at number one on Weibo’s trending searches was still a piece of news about Ye Chen.

"Fishing streamer live-streaming night fishing unexpectedly hooks a floating corpse, obtains a 200,000 reward from the deceased’s family!"

These three hot searches dominated Weibo’s trending list, making the name Ye Chen widely known.

One could say that dominating three hot searches consecutively is something countless Internet celebrities and even stars dream of.

At the same time, ranked eleventh on Weibo’s trending searches was also about the giant python.

"A giant python appeared in a certain residential complex, devoured a resident’s pet dog, then submerged into the lake, disappearing without a trace."

Many netizens who followed Ye Chen, also took notice of this incident.

Through investigation, it was found that the residential complex where the giant python appeared was located in Jiang City!

Coincidentally, Ye Chen had just caught a giant python today.

Thus, many netizens began joking around.

Since Ye Chen, this fishing streamer, could fish up a nearly five-meter-long giant python from a reservoir, and since the professional capture team couldn’t catch the giant python in the artificial lake,

Why not let Ye Chen try, to see if he could fish out the nearly ten-meter-long giant python in the artificial lake?

Of course.

These were just netizens joking around.

No one really thinks that Ye Chen could catch whatever he wants to catch.

Catching so many ridiculous things, the biggest reason is coincidence.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many onlookers and self-media pushing him up the trending searches.

And no one really believes that Ye Chen could indeed fish out that giant python in the artificial lake.

After all, on that Weibo post, the related experts said.

The giant python in the artificial lake of Jinbao residential complex is an adult constrictor, about ten meters in length.

Such a behemoth could even swallow a crocodile in one gulp.

While incidents of giant pythons attacking humans happen rarely, it doesn’t mean they never occur!

A few years ago, in a certain tropical country.

There was an incident where a farmer was devoured by a giant python, resulting in death.

After the farmer went missing, everyone in the village went searching in the mountains and quickly discovered a python with an unusually swollen belly.

After subduing the giant python, they brought it back to the village and cut open its stomach with a knife.

Just as people guessed, inside the python’s belly was a perfectly intact corpse, indeed that of the farmer who went hunting in the mountains!

Even his clothes were intact, but unfortunately, he had left this world due to asphyxiation.

His head was pointing towards the tail of the python, obviously, he had been swallowed head first by the python.

At that time, this incident even caused a great stir around the entire world.

Catching a five-meter giant python might still be within everyone’s psychological tolerance.

But letting this streamer go up against a giant python that could swallow a crocodile is simply an unthinkable task.

Even with professional fishing equipment, it’s outright impossible!

While most people thought so,

a streamer who claims to be an angling enthusiast and is named "East Sea’s King of Fishing" published a new article.

The title was: "Great abilities should contribute to society, from a professional perspective, I suggest letting Ye Chen catch the giant python!"

Many thought it was a satirical article, but upon reading it, it wasn’t.

In brief,

the entire article was filled with doubt towards Ye Chen, as well as taking a moral high ground in accusing him.

The article was thousands of words long.

The first half primarily described how Ye Chen caught so many outrageous things.

Part of it was coincidental, and part of it was deliberate.

For example, Ye Chen last night on the Jiang City Riverbank, first performed a ritual, and then placed an urn at his feet.

This was to create an atmosphere that instills fear.

Then, coincidentally, Ye Chen caught a rotted fish, and moreover, a rotted fish with its mouth open.

But oddly, the thing Ye Chen caught during last night’s live stream did not look like a rotted fish.

What was shown seemed like a live fish.

You have to know, a rotted fish is a dead fish, and how could a dead fish move?

For the average angler, catching a rotted fish with its mouth open is an absolute taboo.

But not only was Ye Chen not scared, he even started performing rituals on the riverbank.

After that, he caught a corpse.

So, "East Sea’s King of Fishing" speculated in his article.

Ye Chen’s rotted fish wasn’t caught by himself at all but was staged by divers underwater coordinating with Ye Chen’s performance.

The divers underwater deliberately tugged on the fishing line to create the illusion of a live fish and then hung the rotted fish at the hook with its mouth open at the right angle.

This caused the appearance of Ye Chen catching a rotted fish with its mouth open.

And today, during the live stream, the Water Snake he caught was done in the same way.

"East Sea’s King of Fishing" also seemed to conjecture that netizens would ask how to explain the final corpse, pistol, Hand Grenade, and Water Python.

He also provided explanations in his article.

His judgment was...

It’s worth noting that in this article,

"East Sea’s King of Fishing" used words like "possibly," "perhaps," and "should" that express uncertainty many times.

In other words, these are also the speculations of "East Sea’s King of Fishing" himself; he doesn’t have solid evidence to prove that what he’s saying is true.

It seems that "East Sea’s King of Fishing" doesn’t have conclusive evidence against Ye Chen.

But in reality, "East Sea’s King of Fishing" is just making a hypothesis, not saying that Ye Chen definitely did it.

Therefore, even Ye Chen himself couldn’t hold "East Sea’s King of Fishing" accountable.

On the contrary, "East Sea’s King of Fishing" could use this incident to ride the wave of viral fame.

Speaking of which,

Regarding the corpse, pistol, Hand Grenade, and the Water Python that Ye Chen caught,

From the live stream room, it seems that the police did come, this can’t be fabricated.

These things are real, but what if they were not caught by Ye Chen but were discovered beforehand?

Perhaps Ye Chen just happened to find the corpse, then had an assistant dive underwater and hang it on the hook, which is not impossible.

The pistol and Hand Grenade might have also been discovered in advance.

After self-staging the "Jiang City River corpse-fishing incident," Ye Chen took advantage of the remaining viral buzz to have his team hang the pistol and Hand Grenade on the hook the next day.
