Liu Yi glanced at Shi Tianyi and tossed Ma Zha onto the ground. "You can keep bragging! A hundred thousand for a family? I think you just want to eat at home until the end of the year!"
Liu Yi didn't believe him and couldn't be bothered to explain. He didn't rely on this for a living, nor did Yi Laotou. At the rate Yi Laotou was going, if he wasn't teaching Shi Tian about feng shui, he would only be visiting three families a year, and his appearance fee would only increase.
"Hey, Liu Yi, don't rush to cast your line just yet! Let me teach you how to adjust your float!"
After casting Wo Liao, they still needed to wait for a while to attract more big fish to the area. They added some Azure Catfish and Grass Carp bait, knowing that it was impossible to lure in the group of fishermen without a few impressive catches.
Once they had taught the two old men how to adjust their rods, they pulled out an eight-meter long fishing pole. They attached Carp Pellets to the hook and cast it into the water.
"Liu Yi, next time someone asks if you've caught anything, just remember to say 'just arrived'—that's the proper greeting among fishermen."
Before anyone could speak up, Shi Tian took the opportunity to give the two old men a quick rundown, hoping to spare them from being scammed by those fishermen again.
"What else is there to know?" Liu Yi was quite interested in the fishermen's jargon. If Shi Tian had mentioned this yesterday, he wouldn't have been naive enough to show off his fishing spot so openly.
Before he could finish his question, Shi Tian felt a tug on his rod. Holding his breath in concentration, he prepared to reel in the catch.
Another tug—his float dipped and slowly sank. Seizing the moment, Shi Tian felt the hook pierce through the upper jaw of a large fish at about ten o'clock; this was promising!
"Oh ho!"
The splashing sounds definitely wouldn't reach the ears of those people at the door, so Shi Tian had to create his own sound effects to draw their attention.
His exclamation prompted a chorus of "oh ho" from the group of fishermen at the entrance, with several already rushing over with their gear.
Although he hadn't tied on a loss prevention rope, Shi Tian trusted the quality of his customized rod. As long as it didn't exceed ten pounds, he was confident he could handle it. If it surpassed ten pounds, holding on for a few minutes was still manageable—as long as it wasn't too wild of a fish. He believed he could bring it up without needing a loss prevention rope.
However, if it exceeded a hundred pounds, that would be another story altogether. A fish that heavy would require a loss prevention rope; otherwise, he might end up in the lake. Unless it was a Longfin Grouper from a fish farm—those fish were quite docile!
He set down his fishing box beside the two old men while a few brothers approached with their nets. If Shi Tian's rod hadn't made any noise yet, they would have been more than happy to help scoop up the fish.
"No rush; it's a bit big. Let's wait until it tires out before we net it." Seeing that two brothers were already eager to dip their nets into the water, Shi Tian quickly reminded them.
"Are you tired? Want me to help tire it out for a bit?" One brother eyed Shi Tian's rod eagerly as he lit up a cigarette.
"I'm not tired; it's just a Xiao Yu—at most thirty or forty pounds—and I've already set my stake!"
"Are you two buying fish? From what I can tell from its behavior, it's likely a Carp. No need to follow market prices; it's ten dollars per pound. Once you pay up, this fishing spot is yours."
He tightened his line and tapped his rod to encourage the fish away from the lake bottom so he could reel it in quickly. If this deal went through successfully, he could open up another fishing spot soon!
Ten dollars for a pound may not be cheap if it's Carp, but for this Fishing Spot, I really feel like spending the money.
As the fish came ashore, I scooped it up with a net and tossed it towards Yu Hu after gripping its gills. This fish weighed over thirty pounds, already exceeding the limits of the Control Fish Tool.
