Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Tianyuan Fishing Agreement

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Lin Yang had already gotten up, packed his stuff, and once again drove to Yue’er’s house.

After picking her up, he headed directly to Dongyang Fishing Ground.

Soon, he arrived at Wang Jian Country’s fishing ground.

Although it was quite early, as soon as Lin Yang got out of the car, he spotted Wang Feng and Wang Jian Country, along with Wang Erwen standing beside them, followed by his three assistants.

"Master Wang, this is Master Lin that I’ve told you about, Lin Yang," said Wang Feng. "He’s quite well-known among local anglers, unbeaten in Black Pond Fishing so far, and is extremely skilled at catching big fish!"

Without waiting for Wang Feng to speak, Wang Jian Country had already introduced Lin Yang to Wang Erwen, knowing that boosting Lin Yang’s reputation was beneficial for his fishing ground.

The two shook hands, and then Wang Erwen said, "Master Lin, I’ve seen your video of fishing for big ones the day before yesterday, and I heard you’re also great at catching other fish. I’ve come uninvited; you don’t mind, do you?"

Lin Yang naturally understood the courtesies and replied with a smile, "Having Master Wang fish here is something our fellow anglers would be too happy about to ever mind."

Wang Erwen laughed, "Master Lin, you have a way with words. Brother Feng has told me more than once about your impressive fishing skills. Our team has always been in search of experts like you. So, how about you and I have a friendly match today? If you lose, you join my team; if I lose, I give you twenty thousand yuan, and if you ever need anything in the fishing world, just let me know and I’ll be sure to help."

The competition among major fishing teams is fierce nowadays as they all want to recruit talented newcomers. Although these teams have trained anglers themselves, many have unfortunately quit halfway, resulting in a waste of resources.

If they could directly bring in a skilled angler, it would naturally be the best option; twenty thousand yuan and a promise are very minor costs for Tianyuan Team.

To lose and join their team or to win and get twenty thousand yuan?

At Wang Erwen’s words, Lin Yang was momentarily stunned. What, did this guy take a liking to him from the start?

But since he had already said so, Lin Yang certainly wasn’t going to back down, and he’d already agreed to the match. So he shrugged and asked, "No problem. I just want to ask if Master Wang wants to do Black Pond Fishing or catch catfish?"

Wang Erwen glanced around the fishing grounds and replied, "There are no catfish fishing grounds nearby, so to keep it simple, let’s stick with Black Pond Fishing at Boss Wang’s place today. But let’s not treat this as an official contest; consider it a chance to get to know each other."

Wang Feng then added, "We haven’t found a suitable reservoir for catfish fishing yet. Boss mentioned he’d continue to inquire today and should have a result soon. Once the reservoir is set, we can go there to fish for catfish."

Lin Yang nodded, "That’s fine too. I actually came out to fish for fun today anyway."

Once they entered the fishing ground, the two found neighboring fishing spots.

Everything ready, Lin Yang started his livestream.

Wang Erwen also started his livestream, being a host with millions of followers; his demand for gifts wasn’t high as he needed to maintain his popularity to boost the sales of his company’s products.

"Is the host fishing in Black Pond again today?"

"Wow, great, the female assistant is here again today."

"Does the guy beside look a lot like Wang Erwen?"

"Really? Is the host fishing Black Pond with Wang Erwen?"

Clearly, many in Lin Yang’s livestream room recognized Wang Erwen, and they were quite surprised to see him fishing Black Pond with Lin Yang today.

Since it was said earlier that today’s wasn’t an official contest, Lin Yang didn’t take it seriously and continued to teach Yue’er to fish in Black Pond.

As for Wang Erwen not far away, he earnestly fished on his own, ignoring the ado around him.

"The fish in Black Pond have slippery mouths, so they demand a high-quality float, like this one moving up and down, not swaying side to side... Yes, just like that, lift the rod, you’ve got a fish!"

Desiring to mentor Yue’er into a capable female angler, Lin Yang taught with great patience. Only patience could make a girl enjoy fishing; otherwise, yelling and shouting might discourage her from returning the next day.

Meanwhile, the news that Wang Erwen and Lin Yang were playing Black Pond in Dongyang Fishing Ground soon reached the local anglers’ ears.

Many local anglers arrived at Wang Jian Country’s fishing ground one after another.

Seeing so many anglers come with their tackle boxes made Wang Jian Country extremely happy; this was the Master effect.

His business had been doing well for some time, so he had set up three fishing grounds, with enough fishing spots for everyone.

"Guys, all fishing today is half-off!" Wang Jian Country called out to the anglers who had arrived. "The prize fish are charged at the normal rate; choose whichever spot you like!"

It must be said that Wang Jian Country indeed knew how to do business.

Ever since Lin Yang had given him advice on remodeling the fishing ground some time ago, he had been learning from the experiences of advanced fishing grounds elsewhere.

He not only improved the decor of the fishing grounds but also occasionally stocked high-quality fish for everyone to catch. He even offered rewards for catching certain prize fish.

And today, with both Wang Erwen and Lin Yang here, he arranged discounted fishing.

Although it seemed he was making a loss today, it wouldn’t take many days for him to earn it back. Perhaps his place would soon become the largest fishing ground in Jiangdong City; compared to future earnings, today’s loss was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

At the moment, the anglers who had been watching Wang Erwen and Lin Yang fish immediately rushed to claim good spots as soon as they heard Wang Jian Country’s announcement, fearing they might end up without a spot if they were too late.

"Damn, Master Lin is amazing, bringing such a beautiful girl with him today."

"That girl has a great figure, could she be Master Lin’s female disciple?"

"Female disciple? Doesn’t seem like it; she looks more like a girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? I thought Master Lin didn’t have a girlfriend?"

"Damn, aren’t people allowed to find someone now?"

"Exactly, Master Lin is famous now, finding a girlfriend is a matter of minutes."

"Crap, it looks like I need to work hard on fishing too!"

The anglers on site still had some integrity and didn’t discuss these matters in front of Lin Yang and Yue’er; they only talked among themselves after finding good fishing spots.

As for Wang Erwen, who had specially come to Jiangdong City, he seemed not so eye-catching anymore, since most anglers were fervent young men who naturally preferred to look at pretty girls, especially one as pretty as her.

Under Lin Yang’s guidance, Yue’er also quickly learned the little tricks of Black Pond Fishing, with her only major flaw being that it was quite easy for her to miss bites.

"So big, this fish is so big," Yue’er managed the rod herself and hooked a fish directly.

Lin Yang hurriedly used the landing net to help her scoop up the fish, then put it in the keepnet.

"Brother Yang, next time you don’t move, I’ll do it myself," Yue’er whispered to Lin Yang, she seemed to really enjoy fishing.

The anglers on site pricked up their ears, and when they heard her mention how big the fish was, they all became frustrated and felt somewhat unbearable.

"If it’s just fishing, why does Master Lin have to bring a girl? It’s okay to bring a girl, but not only is she pretty like Xiong Da, her voice is so pleasant to hear too."

"Master Lin is doing this on purpose, trying to distract us so we don’t catch fish," they said.

"Women only affect my fishing speed!"

"Damn, do you have to be so jealous? If a single female angler comes one day, wouldn’t you go crazy?"

Once Lin Yang saw that Yue’er could handle the fishing techniques quite proficiently, he started preparing his own tackle.

He gave her the 3.6-meter rod, and he only had the 4.5-meter one, and since the two of them were fishing the same spot, Wang Jian Country naturally had no objections.

As time slowly passed.

In two hours, Lin Yang had already caught more than 100 fish, while Yue’er sitting beside him had caught twenty to thirty. It seemed like she wasn’t catching many, but it was her first time fishing in Black Pond, and she was much better than many beginners.

Though she had the advantage of being in a good spot, she was still quite impressive.

Yue’er gradually began to feel the joy that fishing brought, and the speed of her catches became smoother; she even started using the landing net on her own.

While Lin Yang was fishing, he kept an eye on her float. Although she learned fishing quickly, her understanding of the float was still not very deep.

She would strike whenever there was a nibble.

Being in the same spot as Lin Yang, although she could strike effectively most of the time, she also experienced a fair number of escapes.

Seeing that Yue’er’s float moved again, Lin Yang whispered, "Take it easy with this strike, wait for a bit."

Yue’er obediently didn’t swing her rod and held on to the rod without moving until a beautiful strong tug appeared.

"Strike!" Lin Yang immediately said.

Yue’er quickly swung the rod.

Whoosh—

The fishing line tore through the water surface, Yue’er failed to hold on, and the rod went straight into the water. By the time Lin Yang reached out to help her, he only grabbed her hand and not the rod, which was dragged away by the fish.

Seeing this, whether it was the anglers on site or the audience in the live stream, everyone clapped happily.

"Awesome, too awesome, the fishing rod got dragged away, now the newbie female angler won’t out-compete us anymore."

"Master Lin was too busy touching hands, he even let the fish take the fishing rod away."

"It seems the one that got away was a trophy fish."

Yue’er looked at Lin Yang feeling very guilty, "This..."

Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand, "It’s okay, it was probably a trophy fish, it’s normal that you couldn’t handle a fish that heavy."

"What about the fishing rod?" Yue’er asked with pursed lips.

"After we’ve finished fishing, I’ll ask the owner of the fishing ground to row out and retrieve it."

Everyone was fishing at this time, it wasn’t possible for you to go retrieve the rod, we’ll fetch it casually after we’re done fishing.

Yue’er moved back a bit, "Then I won’t fish anymore, I’ll watch you fish, the fish here are too big for me to handle."

"Okay, then just watch me fish."

Fishing on your own, with a beautiful, obedient woman watching, was indeed an enviable scene, especially for fellow anglers.

Because something like this was almost impossible to happen at their homes, whether it was with a girlfriend or wife, it was considered good if they didn’t scold you, let alone expect them to join in fishing. Dream on.
