Fishing or fishing for people?

Lin Yuan looked at Xiao Hu, who was eating while staring intently at his fishing float, and felt a wave of helplessness.

In his current state, how could he possibly listen to Lin Yuan introduce houses?

Damn it, this trip was a waste.

After dozens of seconds of silence, Xiao Hu seemed to realize his gaffe and quickly put down his food, smiling at Lin Yuan, "Bro, I'm so sorry, I got a bit engrossed. If you don't mind, you can introduce the houses to me here."

Lin Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Forget it for now. Let's do it when you're free later."

"Ah, that's too bad. Didn't you just make a trip for nothing?" Xiao Hu laughed awkwardly.

Suddenly, he saw the fishing rod on the ground, and as if something clicked, he cheerfully said, "Bro, do you fish? I have a lot of equipment here. If you want to play, feel free to."

"Fish?" Lin Yuan was taken aback.

After thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a good suggestion.

It wouldn't be appropriate to just go back after coming all this way. This was a good opportunity to try out the fishing skill he had drawn from the system.

"Alright! Then lend me a set to play with."

"That's great!" Hearing Lin Yuan agree to fish, Xiao Hu excitedly put down his lunchbox and stood up, asking, "Do you want to use a Taiwan fishing rod or a lure rod? I even brought sea rods! They're all for catching big fish, definitely capable of bringing in anything under a hundred catties."

"Recently, there have been big catches here. Two hundred-catty giant grass carps have already been pulled up, and I've been guarding this spot for a day and a night."

"This fishing spot was specially opened by me. No one dares to fish here. I firmly believe that big fish will definitely come out of here!"

Lin Yuan looked at the surrounding environment, then at the water, and nodded in agreement.

This location was indeed secluded enough, and surrounded by lush green trees on all sides.

Looking at the color of the water, it also seemed very deep.

Such a location was most likely to hide big fish.

If it weren't for the fishing spot opened by Xiao Hu, there wouldn't even be a place to stand.

The closest people were at the foot of the mountain diagonally opposite him, with dozens of people lined up.

Apparently, someone had caught a big fish and was currently in a difficult tug-of-war.

However, he wasn't interested in hundred-catty fish. Having not fished for a long time, he would be content even if he caught a few small crucian carps.

To save trouble, Lin Yuan still chose lure fishing; Taiwan fishing was too troublesome.

Xiao Hu enthusiastically took out all his artificial baits and laid them on the ground: "This is for catching culter alburnus, this is for salmon, this is for bass, this is for whitebait..."

Lin Yuan watched him introduce them non-stop, as if afraid he wouldn't know how to fish, and smiled helplessly, "No need to introduce, I understand!"

"Alright, but I'll still mention that the culter alburnus here aren't very big, and there aren't many salmon or other fish. Also, the water is especially deep, about forty to fifty meters. I suggest you use a jig head or an iron plate for deep-water fishing."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lin Yuan didn't refuse. Xiao Hu definitely knew more about the water area than he did, so listening to him was definitely correct.

After changing the artificial bait, he didn't cast the rod immediately.

Instead, he put it into the water and gently pulled the lure rod, making the artificial bait swim like a small fish in the water.

It had to be said that Xiao Hu's set of equipment was definitely not cheap.

Just by looking at the way the lure swam in the water, one could tell it was too realistic.

If seen by carnivorous fish, they would definitely think it was a delicious meal.

After preparing, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Cast a confident cast!"

The next second, he raised the lure rod and cast it forward with all his might.

Bang~~

A sound of a line exploding in the air.

Even a puff of smoke appeared on the baitcasting reel.

The fishing line tilted wildly like a ship's anchor chain.

The sound of breaking air continued, emitting a whooshing noise.

It lasted for several seconds before ending.

This cast directly cleared the spool!

Xiao Hu, next to him, was stunned by Lin Yuan's operation, so shocked that he forgot to eat his meal.

He immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap?! Cleared... cleared the spool?! This is a 100-meter line!!!"

"Bro, your casting technique is amazing. Can you teach me later?"

Lin Yuan chuckled, a little satisfied with his vanity, "This is nothing. My real skill hasn't even been shown yet."

After speaking, he controlled the lure rod to move up and down while turning the baitcasting reel to retrieve the line.

Although he couldn't see the lure underwater, he could feel it swimming towards him in the water.

To avoid getting caught on branches or rocks at the bottom, Lin Yuan fully concentrated on controlling the fishing rod.

He completely failed to notice that in the small forest directly opposite him, there was also a guy holding a lure rod, wearing a life jacket, looking at the water with anticipation.

Suddenly!!

Lin Yuan felt a huge force on his fishing rod and instinctively pulled back with all his might!

The man in the small forest opposite also felt this force at the same time and pulled back in unison.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

A sound of breaking air rang out!!

Both of them were excited!!

This force, this feel!!

It must be a big one!!

Xiao Hu exclaimed, "Holy crap, caught one on the first cast?! Is it a big one?"

Lin Yuan was also incredibly excited. The hunting instinct hidden in his genes was stimulated, his face tensed, and his right hand gripped the fishing rod tightly.

He could feel that this fish was too strong; he couldn't pull it in at all!!

The most important thing was that he had cleared the spool from the very beginning of the cast, which meant there was no extra line for buffering.

Once a tug-of-war situation occurred, the line might break.

Breaking the rod was a small matter; if the fish escaped, he would probably regret it until the moment he entered his coffin.

The netizens in the live stream were also incredibly excited when they saw Lin Yuan catch something.

They uniformly spammed the screen.

Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~

Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~

Oh ho~~ Oh ho~~

Cut, cut, cut, cut

However, they were disappointed. Xiao Hu, in order to catch big fish, specifically used a large fishing line.

For a Fishing Enthusiast, as long as a big fish is hooked, either the rod breaks, or the fish comes up, or he goes down; cutting the line is impossible.

But the guy on the other side was miserable.

His strength was no match for Lin Yuan's; he couldn't pull it in at all.

Watching the line on his fishing rod about to clear the spool, he panicked.

At this rate, once the spool was cleared, he might be pulled into the water.

But broken rods happened every year, big fish didn't come often!

As a Fishing Enthusiast, how could he let a big fish slip away from his hands?

Unbearable, this was absolutely unbearable!!

He had already prepared himself mentally. Anyway, he was wearing a life jacket, so once the spool cleared, he would jump directly into the water. He had to get the fish up today, no matter what.

Thinking of this, he increased the force in his hands by a few points again.

Lin Yuan also seemed to feel this pressure.

He was angry!

What kind of rotten fish, today I don't believe I can't pull you up.

He immediately roared, "Eighteen Fish-Subduing Casts, First Cast — Steady as an Old Dog!"

Lin Yuan's entire aura suddenly changed. Standing there, he was like a wooden stake drilled into the earth's core, unmoving!

His hands gripped the fishing rod tightly, steady as an old dog!!

Xiao Hu next to him watched with shining eyes, "Holy crap! This works too?"

Before he could recover, Lin Yuan spoke again, "Eighteen Fish-Subduing Casts, Fifth Cast — Turning Back and Snatching!"

Lin Yuan's left hand grabbed the reel of the baitcasting reel and spun it madly.

The Fishing Enthusiast opposite instantly felt a huge force, and his entire body, out of control, lunged forward.

With a splash, he fell directly into the water.

This terrifying pull instantly made his face change drastically.

He could still hold on a moment ago, but how did the force suddenly become so strong?

Fortunately, he was wearing a life jacket, otherwise, this fish would have really escaped.

But at this moment, he felt like a lonely boat floating on the water, unable to exert any force, his entire body being pulled forward uncontrollably.

This made him wonder if he had really caught a fish? How was this a fish?

Could it be that he caught a Kun?

Or did he fall into an alligator or a heaven-defying culter alburnus?

He weighed over 150 catties, plus the resistance of the water, how much strength would that take?!

My goodness!

This fish, isn't it mutated?

At the same time, Lin Yuan and the others also saw the commotion on the opposite side.

Xiao Hu excitedly shouted, "Holy crap, his is even bigger!! He's been dragged into the water, holy crap!"

Thinking that he had guarded the spot for a day and a night and got nothing, while these two caught big fish one after another, Xiao Hu felt a little sour.

He shouted across to the other side, "Buddy, how big is your fish? It's dragging you around?"

The Fishing Enthusiast heard this and said proudly, "It's not out of the water yet, the spool's cleared, probably over 150 catties. Damn it, I must get it up today!"

"Holy crap! That big? A true giant!"

"Absolutely, good thing I'm wearing a life jacket and specifically changed to my grandma's shoe-repair nylon line. Today, even if it's a shark, I'll get it up!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hu's eyes were filled with envy.

However, he gradually felt that something was wrong.

Because he found that the Fishing Enthusiast opposite was actually coming towards his side.

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was steady as an old dog and continuously spinning the baitcasting reel, a strange thought arose in Xiao Hu's mind.

In fact, it wasn't just him; the Fishing Enthusiast opposite also realized that something was wrong.

Looking at the fishing rod in his hand, that fish seemed tireless, constantly pulling him towards the opposite side.

Especially when he saw Lin Yuan's spinning speed, his eyes widened!

No way?

It can't be?

However, before he could even ask.

He saw Lin Yuan grab the fishing rod with his right hand and turn his back to the Fishing Enthusiast.

After a moment of brewing, he roared, "Eighteen Fish-Subduing Casts, Sixteenth Cast... First Cast..."

Hearing this, the Fishing Enthusiast, who was getting closer and closer to Lin Yuan, instantly constricted his pupils.

He quickly shouted, "Hey hey!! Hey buddy, wait a minute... wait a minute... wait..."

...Opening the Heavenly Gate!!"

The Fishing Enthusiast's face instantly changed drastically. He only felt an irresistible immense force instantly coming from the fishing rod.

Because his hands were still gripping the fishing rod tightly, his entire body, out of control, flew from the water towards Lin Yuan at an extremely fast speed.

To be precise, it was a bit like skipping stones.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

Puff~~

He directly hit the shore, performing a face-plant on the spot!!

Xiao Hu and the Photographer were dumbfounded by the scene before their eyes, their mouths wide open, stunned!

The Fishing Enthusiast who had been pulled over quickly threw away the fishing rod in his hand and spat out the mud from his mouth.

Puff~~ Puff~~ Ptooey~~ Ptooey~~

"What the hell!! What's going on?"

"How did I get fished out? Where's my fish!"

Lin Yuan, who had thought a big fish was on shore, heard the commotion and turned his head, bewildered.

When he saw the two artificial baits tangled together on the lure rod and the Fishing Enthusiast continuously washing his face and spitting out mud, his face twitched involuntarily.
