A group of ten people set up their rods, not bothering to bait the hooks or use any special techniques—just regular fishing. The old man had established a rule: when one person caught a fish, the others would drink, one cup for each fish. Whoever couldn’t drink anymore would have to reel in their rod.
These folks were all seasoned drinkers; there wasn’t a single one who couldn’t hold their liquor. Looking at their long, four-and-a-half-meter rods and then at his own three-meter rod, he thought these old men must be out of their minds!
They didn’t even bother with bait; they simply dug up some worms. Before the others could prepare their bait, he hooked a worm, positioned himself at the edge, and cast it out at an angle.
Counting to ten, he felt a strong tug. With a swift jerk of his rod, he pulled up a small fish. “Old man, I’ve got one! Keep an eye on them while they drink!” He showcased the fish around, reminding everyone to take notice.
“Get lost! Fish under half a kilogram don’t count!” After downing a cup of liquor, Old Kong looked at the fish in Shi Tian’s hand, which was hardly bigger than his pinky finger, and laughed as he scolded him. “If we counted Bai Tiao too, what would be the point? We’d just be waiting to drink!”
The night was quiet, and the big fish were closer to the shore. The three-meter rod wasn’t at a disadvantage; in fact, it was the longer rods of Li Yunfei and Yi Laotou that were truly suffering!
Bai Tiao didn’t count as a catch; there were no loopholes to exploit now—it was time for some serious fishing!
Without any special techniques and with so many people chatting away, the fishing conditions weren’t great. After more than twenty minutes, their cups were nearly empty of flavor when Shi Ye finally caught a Carp that might not even meet the standards.
Having finally downed his drink, they weren’t in a rush to refill their cups; they decided to wait until someone caught another fish before pouring more.
When Shi Ye hooked a fish, he didn’t rush to cast again. Instead, he fiddled with his phone on social media, exploring how to use his Smart Rod.
“I’m sharing my fishing spot; let’s see if you can access it.” After setting everything up, Shi Ye said this and then baited his hook again before casting.
Only a few of them had Smart Rods; they were about to go on sale soon and wanted to test them out first.
He pulled out his phone and opened social media to find the shared fishing spot. Selecting Jiyang City on the map revealed only one message—the one just posted by Shi Ye.
Opening the message showed details about the fish: species, weight, wildness level, and time caught. To see the exact location, however, one had to tip.
Shi Ye set the tipping amount low—just ten dollars. After paying, he received comprehensive information including location, bait used, meteorological data, bite frequency, and details about rods and lines. There was even an animated simulation of the entire process from when the fish took the bait until it was unhooked.
In less than ten minutes, he earned back a dollar. Shi Ye felt quite pleased with himself while Shi Tian felt a bit regretful.
“If I had known earlier that I could share information about that Pahdi Hu! It could have maximized its value.”
After playing around with sharing features, they added each other as friends. This feature seemed designed for easier meet-ups for fishing trips.
“Xiao Tian, can you hide Xinyue Lake from the map?” Shi Ye snapped a picture of the lake and posted an update on social media. This update was public; anyone with an account could see it.
The information shared in this chat is time-sensitive, and Shi Tian has set it to automatically delete after three days on the server. In his view, after a while, it wouldn’t matter much; three days is sufficient, and it saves hard drive space.
At Xinyue Lake's Fish Catch, boasting is fine, but he absolutely cannot let that group of Fishermen discover the location; otherwise, security measures would have to be increased again.
Alright, I’ll just block the area around the villa! However, once this area is blocked, the fish caught here won’t be able to share their locations anymore; they can only share from Fish Catch, and tips will be out of the question.
Just a reminder: once this area is blocked, Shi Ye’s previously shared information will immediately lose its tip function, and those hidden messages will no longer be visible.
He put away his phone and reeled in the line.
With a whoosh, the three-meter rod hooked a big fish; the thrill was quite enjoyable as it bent down to the second section.
Holding the Rod and listening to the sound of the nylon line slicing through the water, even though he was used to big fish like Xiao Yu, the adrenaline still surged.
Pouring drinks all around, such a big fish deserved at least three cups! Just as he was feeling smug, the fish made a strong pull, startling Shi Tian into quickly letting out some line.
The Rod was short, and so was the line; if it got pulled straight by the fish, he would have to resort to using the Loss Prevention Rope.
The old men were quite aware; each took a cup and downed it in one go. Then they lifted their Rods, and Yi Laotou also hooked a fish!
Master, you’ve hooked one too! Once we get it up, I’ll toast you with a drink!
Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Tian loosened his grip—had he lost the line?
Looking at his Fishing Set, he realized the Hook was too small; the fish had slipped off!
Oh no! As soon as Shi Tian’s fish got away, Lu Ya immediately started teasing him.
Old man, that counts as cheating! You guys can’t drink for free; he must be punished! With a sly grin, Air Force jumped in to add fuel to the fire.
Punishment was certain; this penalty drink had to be one-on-one. Who drank from that last round? Let him face each one of us for a drink! Old Wen spoke up, and it was immediately passed unanimously.
