With the power supply connected and the network cable plugged in, the server powered up. I went downstairs to borrow Su Xueyi's notebook. Once the server was up and connected to the computer, I noticed that its configuration was quite impressive; it would definitely perform well for gaming.
I had initially planned to show off my skills, but when I checked the server after it booted up, everything was already configured. There was no need for any complicated setup! I simply scanned the QR code on the rod with my phone, installed the app, registered an account, and logged in. The rod was now linked to my account.
For now, that would do! I needed to find a place to set up the server properly; leaving it here wasn't ideal—it was too noisy and the environment wasn't suitable.
After a good sleep, I remembered the new product and took the rod out. I stepped on the gas and drove down to Da Mao River. It had been a while since I fished here, and I was looking forward to enjoying some time by the river with the old men.
"Hey there, got any bites?" I asked as I walked down to the riverbank where Shi Tian had approached an old man sitting nearby.
"Just got here! No bites yet!" The old man looked at Shi Tian with a face full of helplessness.
Fishing every day felt like a routine, but if you never caught anything, it would be easier to give up. However, just when you decided to quit, you'd occasionally catch one or two fish, making it hard to resist!
"Wow! You caught an Air Force!" Shi Tian exclaimed as he moved toward another old man nearby.
"Just got here!" The old man replied, almost believing Shi Tian's excitement due to all the cigarette butts scattered around.
Littering cigarette butts showed a lack of civic responsibility. Shi Tian felt uneasy if he didn't provoke these old men a bit!
"Old man, haven't you caught anything yet? Are you also fishing for Air Force?" Another old man surrounded by cigarette butts joined in. "Let's put them out together!"
"Hmph!" The old man shot Shi Tian a glance and chose to ignore him; he found Shi Tian's remarks too unpleasant.
"Don't be angry, old man! Let me teach you how to fish; fishing for Air Force is so embarrassing!" Shi Tian sat down between the two old men, lit a cigarette, and set up his fishing box.
He pulled out a small three-meter rod he had just made. After tying on a Number Three Sleeve Hook, he looked for a spot at the bottom.
He scattered some bait and hooked a worm onto his hook. Casting his line into the water didn’t require much finesse; using worms was straightforward enough.
The worst part about fishing is littering. Cigarette butts are like fire; they disrupt the atmosphere. If you throw one on the ground, it immediately ruins the fishing spot, and the fish won’t bite! He picked up a cigarette butt and tossed it into his fishing box where there was water to extinguish it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled on his rod and caught a Striped Catfish—Shi Tian could finally relax!
"Young man, just focus on fishing; don’t play tricks. They’re cracking down hard on that stuff nowadays!"
"We admit throwing cigarette butts is wrong, but if you keep playing tricks like that, we’ll call the police and report you for superstition!"
At their age, being schooled by a young punk made both old men feel slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, they were well-mannered enough not to snap back at Shi Tian earlier.
Bending down, they picked up their cigarette butts and found a bag to put them in before tossing them into their fishing box.
Following Shi Tian’s lead, they separated their bait trays: one for bait and one filled with water as an impromptu ashtray. That should work!
"Sir, this is not feudal superstition; it has scientific basis! If you put away that cigarette butt, the water and fire won't clash anymore. Just toss in some Wood Liao. Wood Liao belongs to the wood element, which promotes growth, and then the fish will naturally come!
With that said, Shi Tian grabbed a handful of Bait and tossed it towards the old man's Float. Just wait for a catch! After throwing in two handfuls of Wood Liao, both old men's Floats started dancing.
One big Black Piao was pulled up forcefully but missed the catch! Watching those two number six Ise Nii on the old man's line, Shi Tian thought about making a run for it. If they kept catching fish like this, would those old men throw him into the river?
After several casts, he finally reeled in a Ma Kou, and the old man's face turned dark. "What kind of Wood Liao are you using? How did you attract this bunch of things?" As he took the small Ma Kou off the Hook, the old man looked like he wanted to throw it at Shi Tian's face.
"Sir, you've caught a fish! Hurry and get your net! Who could still call you Air Force now? I told you water and fire clash; do you believe me now?"
Another Striped Catfish was pulled up, and without any shame, Shi Tian said as he took out a few sets of Sleeve Hooks from his Fishing Box to share with the two old men: "Wood Liao is good Wood Liao. If it hasn't attracted big fish yet, it's not Wood Liao's fault. It just means big fish haven't come over here yet. Let's switch to Xiao Gou!"
"Don't underestimate these little things; their Price is higher than that of big fish. These small ones can stir up trouble in the nest and attract big fish's attention. When they stop causing a ruckus, it means big fish are here!"
Listening to Shi Tian's nonsense, the two old men couldn't help but sigh. "Little fish can attract big fish? Who told you that? I've lived this long and fished for four or five years; how come I've never heard of such logic?"
Though they complained verbally, their hands were busy changing to Sleeve Hooks and baiting two Xiao Er. One cast wouldn't be bad; it’s better than Air Force fishing. The more they catch, the better for snacks with drinks!
Just think about it: if you're strolling down the street and see a crowd gathered together, wouldn't you want to join in on the fun?"
