74: Has this guy killed someone?

Qiu Gu held the camera, watching the Bighead Carp on the water's surface getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It's so big~

As it approached, Qiu Gu turned the lens toward Gao Xiaofan, only to see him holding the rod, standing blankly a few meters away from the shore.

Qiu Gu waited for a few seconds, but he couldn't take it anymore and shouted.

“Xiaofan, get it up here! What are you standing there for!”

Gao Xiaofan had a pained expression: “I didn't bring a Landing Net~”

Qiu Gu let out an 'uh,' and ignoring the program rules, continued.

“Then go down and scoop it up, it's not even moving anymore.”

Hearing Qiu Gu's words, Gao Xiaofan shook his head, too lazy to respond to him.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw the entrenching tool stuck in the ground, and his eyes lit up.

The bullet chat in the livestream room was scrolling frantically.

“I'm serious, if it were me, I'd definitely jump in.”

“In the water, you think you can hold onto a fifty-pound Bighead Carp? The last guy as confident as you already lost his fish~”

“There's no other way, just have to gamble on a gill-grab. If he can't hold it and it runs, we'll accept it!”

“Hey hey hey, Brother Wo Zi is the one fishing, what do you mean *you'll* accept it? Brother Wo Zi will be crying in the bathroom by then~”

“The chance of losing the fish is 80%. Grabbing the gills of such a heavy fish, I think it's possible your arm might even break! You still have to pay attention to safety when fishing. Last time my friend was fishing for sea bass, tried a gill-grab, and lost a pinky finger.”

The bullet chat continued, and Gao Xiaofan's gaze never left the entrenching tool stuck in the ground.

Unfortunately, to save some money back then, he hadn't bought the harpoon attachment; it was just a bare entrenching tool, but it still weighed about three pounds.

Qiu Gu followed Gao Xiaofan's gaze and couldn't help but swallow. Is this thing reliable?

Before he could figure it out, Gao Xiaofan had already started moving. He subconsciously turned the lens, locking Gao Xiaofan's figure firmly in the livestream room.

Gao Xiaofan gently pulled back on the rod body and suddenly thrust it into the ground, plunging the rod into the soft soil. At this moment, he was about seven meters from the shore, and the Bighead Carp, pulled by the fishing line, was also about to reach the bank.

Before the audience in the livestream room could react, Gao Xiaofan in the lens shot out like the wind. That figure, darting out like a cannonball, kicked up clouds of dirt behind him.

Gao Xiaofan aimed for the entrenching tool on the way, his right hand scooping it up in stride, grabbing it firmly. Then, using the momentum, he swung the entrenching tool behind him, raining down a shower of mud.

Unfortunately, neither of the two people present cared about these details.

Gao Xiaofan charged, raised the shovel, and leaped!

Qiu Gu adjusted the focus, took quick steps, and followed!

The movements of the two were as smooth as flowing water, completed in one breath. Only the audience in the livestream room stared blankly at the scene, completely unable to react.

In the lens, Gao Xiaofan leaped into the air, swung the entrenching tool 360 degrees, and slammed the shovel onto the fish's head. Then, Gao Xiaofan grabbed the fish's lip with his left hand, looking like a madman, and began frantically striking it, shovel after shovel.

A dull "Duang" sound rang out.

Then, the sound of strikes followed like raindrops.

“Duang”

“Duang”

“Duang”

...Qiu Gu was stunned, but he still kept the lens firmly locked on Gao Xiaofan.

The backstage staff were stunned, their minds filled with Duang Duang Duang~

The audience in the livestream room was stunned; the bullet chat stopped completely.

It wasn't until Gao Xiaofan in the lens stopped striking, gasping for breath as he dragged the Bighead Carp—life or death unknown—onto the shore with both hands, that everyone snapped back to their senses.

Intentional Punch: ???

Strong Hand Cracks Skull: ???

?????????

Online ID: “I fucking thought Brother Wo Zi was going to kill someone~ Who feels me?~”

Nickname: Turtle Hitting King: “Didn't expect that, didn't expect that. To be honest, I was scared just now.”

Reba is the Most Beautiful: “My wife just asked me what kind of suspenseful murder drama this is, it's so intense.”

Qiu Gu watched Gao Xiaofan, who had dragged the fish onto the shore and was still pulling it back with force, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Damn, that was terrifying.

This guy hasn't killed someone before, has he?

That crazed expression while hitting the fish~

That ruthless decisiveness while hitting the fish~

Dragging the fish like dragging a corpse~

With a hint of a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth~

“What are you standing there for? I'm telling you, you broke the rules by eating my steamed buns, so now you have to deal with it.”

After dragging the fish to a safe position, Gao Xiaofan stood up panting. Seeing Qiu Gu dazed, his anger rose.

He then walked to the shore on his own and washed his hands. The pinkish-white bait and the fish mucus mixed together, looking very much like some red and white matter from a brain.

Qiu Gu watched Gao Xiaofan squatting by the shore, cleaning up the 'crime scene' evidence, and trembled.

It wasn't until he heard the voice from the Program Production Crew that Qiu Gu took the tripod out of his backpack, set up the camera, and obediently went to clean the fish.

After washing his hands, Gao Xiaofan also washed the entrenching tool, then walked over to Qiu Gu and handed it to him.

“This side has an edge, it'll be convenient for you.”

He then pulled a cigarette from his pocket, stuck it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag.

The backstage staff hurriedly began real-time blurring again.

Gao Xiaofan blew out a smoke ring, picked up the pad, and looking at the bullet chat on it, couldn't help but laugh.

When the audience in the livestream room saw Gao Xiaofan pick up the pad, they knew they could interact, and questions came one after another.

“Brother Wo Zi, how did you think of that? That was too fierce.”

“Brother Wo Zi, why didn't you use the edge of the shovel to chop it instead of hitting it?”

“Brother Wo Zi...”

Gao Xiaofan thought for a moment and then said.

“First of all, our camera teacher doesn't know how to fish, so I could only stick the rod in the ground to keep the line tight.”

“Secondly, the reason I didn't use the edge of the shovel to chop is because the edge isn't sharp enough. The main reason is that once it feels pain, the Bighead Carp will definitely struggle. A fish's head is very fragile; a heavy impact can knock it out directly, so I chose to strike rather than chop.”

“Also, I saw many viewers saying I should go into the water. I have to tell everyone, absolutely do not do that~”

“First, I can't swim. Even if I could, I wouldn't go in.”

“This large body of water is unfamiliar territory; no one knows the specific conditions. We don't know how deep it is near the shore, if there are water weeds, or if there's mud at the bottom. Going in blindly is being irresponsible to yourself.”

“Also, I won't be fishing anymore in a bit. If you want to see me fish, we can come back tomorrow, but I'm really too tired today. My entire right arm feels like it doesn't belong to me.”

Gao Xiaofan put the pad on his lap and couldn't help but rub his right shoulder again.

Constantly casting the rod had already made it sore, and those dozen or so full-force shovel strikes with their strong recoil left Gao Xiaofan's right arm without a shred of strength now.

The audience in the livestream room also expressed their understanding. After hearing Gao Xiaofan's explanation, they were filled with admiration, many saying that considering all those factors in such a short time was truly impressive.

Only Qiu Gu, hearing that Gao Xiaofan was coming back tomorrow, couldn't help but shudder.
