Chapter 226: The Angler's Solo

"Eat... eat what?"

An Sheng, who had just returned from a stroll outside, sat down in Yu Xueqing's arms, but the words Yu Xueqing said next left An Sheng stunned.

"How about... An Mou finds a way later to sneak into their Anquan Bureau and steal some spirit-grain potion? I feel like your software seems to need an update."

Seeing Yu Xueqing's palm almost stuffing itself into his muzzle, An Sheng couldn't help but complain, incidentally raising his hind leg to brace against Yu Xueqing's arm.

And the more An Sheng resisted, the more Yu Xueqing felt that Little An really might have been unable to refuse the hospitality.

Yu Xueqing looked at Bai Lang, who had followed Little An back, with a suspicious face and asked: "You... when you went out just now, are you sure you didn't go steal anything to eat?"

"Wang?"

Yu Xueqing looked at Bai Lang and asked, and suddenly a strange image appeared in her mind: the image showed herself and Lord Fuli Ge going into the mountains, and then seeing a doggy that was eating something in big mouthfuls, and that doggy was politely inviting her and Lord Fuli Ge to come over and eat.

Bai Lang's eyes widened, its face full of horror, and it looked at Yu Xueqing who was questioning it, hurriedly shaking its head.

Experiencing for the first time having its brain forcibly raped by image projections, the dog Bai Lang was scared silly.

"It's good that you didn't... it's good that you didn't..."

Yu Xueqing looked at Little An, let out a sigh of relief, and patted the little fox's belly.

"However... what did you go do? Why is your whole body covered in the smell of fireworks and firecrackers? It's quite unpleasant."

Yu Xueqing stroked the little fox that had returned home, scratching the little fox's gradually rounding chin, and asked with a happy face.

"Ying ying..."

An Sheng waved his hand, signaling that Yu Xueqing didn't need to worry about the little fox's affairs; his own body was very sturdy.

"Let's not talk about our affairs. Did the anglers catch any fish?"

An Sheng turned around, lying on Yu Xueqing's lap to look at the afternoon livestream that had just begun not long ago.

In the livestream room, with the increase in free gifts and likes, the heat and popularity were rising rapidly.

Especially seeing the streamer return, the public screen was full of people asking Yu Xueqing if the streamer had eaten yet.

It was a double entendre that made An Sheng's face turn black.

"Fishing? Didn't catch any fish! The friends in the livestream room are all here to watch the fighting. In just one morning, four Shimanos were snapped, and it seems there were also two English-named hand rods, and over a dozen giant-object rods of some 'Tang' brand..."

Seeing the little fox ask if there was fish to eat, Yu Xueqing showed a helpless expression and began to explain.

Today, the river was very unreasonable.

In the past, the fish in the river would just eat bait, but today, who knows what happened—the fish had switched to eating carbon fiber rods.

Starting after 9:30 in the morning, which was just after An Sheng left, until 1:00 in the afternoon, in less than five hours, over twenty rods had exploded.

Although Yu Xueqing didn't know much about fishing rod prices, she could roughly guess that the Shimano and those few English-named brand fishing rods should be quite expensive. Once the rods exploded, the anglers immediately turned red-faced and ran into the river to fight the fish.

In less than five hours.

Four human-fish battles had already occurred, three of which ended in the humans' defeat.

In the only victory, that fitness-enthusiast angler directly carried a fifty-plus-jin black carp and walked away.

He really walked.

He had come driving an SUV, but after catching the fish, he hired a designated driver and walked away carrying the fish himself.

Moreover, the later anglers were all saying that the angler who caught the fish had run to the market.

He didn't say a word.

Just carrying that big black carp on his back, walking through the crowd like a proud, peerless swordsman.

That SUV followed behind him.

"Is... is it really that grassy?" An Sheng showed an astonished expression and said:

"That is to say, the nearly thirty thousand real online viewers in your livestream room, they don't actually want to watch people fish; they want to watch the anglers turn red-faced after the rods explode and engage in real-life PVP with the fish, right?"

"It's simply outrageous that humans and fish can fight..."

The things happening on the Changle River were enough to shock An Sheng for an entire year.

"Ahhh! My 13,000 DA!"

And before An Sheng could recover from the humans and fish tearing each other apart in the river, a sudden explosion sound came from the riverside. A carbon fiber rod over six meters long exploded with a boom, dust flying everywhere in the sky.

The angler holding the fishing rod was stunned; his dark face, already tanned from years of wind and sun, turned red instantly.

With a sudden dash, he stepped on the stone railing and flew directly toward the river, delivering an elbow strike to the fish that had just snapped his rod and was still blowing bubbles on the water surface.

"Splash—"

A sound of falling into the water rang out, and various small gifts began to fill the screen in Yu Xueqing's livestream room, all urging Yu Xueqing to hurry and shove the camera over; they wanted to see the scene of blood flowing like a river.

The content of Yu Xueqing's livestream was too fresh; 99.9% of the audience had never seen it.

"Oh oh oh—"

Seeing someone jump into the river again, Yu Xueqing hurriedly held her phone and leaned toward the riverbank, shouting toward the river:

"Don't fight too hard! The village chief said at lunch just now that if something happens, even if they have to drain the river, they will find the culprit and treat the whole village to pickled fish!"

The village chief Yu Xueqing spoke of was Chen Zhiyu's father, the current strongest hunter of the Changping Mountain Chen clan.

"Bo bo bo—"

The yellow catfish, with a body length far exceeding two meters and a weight likely reaching over 130 jin, used a "fish leaping over the dragon gate" move to forcibly pin the angler down. After drinking two taels of river water, it looked at Yu Xueqing who was speaking and nodded lightly.

They would not hurt people.

Their boss's boss, the Great-Grandfather, had ordered them to wait here and tease the humans.

"Your mother!"

The angler who had been beaten by the fish had no reduction in the red heat on his cheeks; his eyes were red, but he didn't have time to go over for a second round. A long pole with a curved hook at the fishing boat dock directly pulled the angler, who was in a blood-rage state, back to the shore.

"Rest for a while! That's a yellow catfish as big as an ox."

The young man Chen Zhiyu had arranged at the dock looked at the blood-raged angler with a happy face:

"It's fine, it's just a 13,000 DA. Two were already blown up this morning; you're not the only one losing out."

"Wooooo..." The angler was already crying.

Fishing rods were not disposable items. For the sake of performance and durability, anglers often bought expensive, high-quality rods, hoping to use them for a long time and sell them second-hand.

Although they could be repaired after exploding, don't even think about the price when selling the rod second-hand.

"Ying ying..."

An Sheng, held in Yu Xueqing's arms, was stunned after witnessing the human-fish battle, and then looked at the livestream room that was rapidly scrolling and gifting small gifts.

"Yu Xueqing... buy me two bottles of cola, and then I'll coordinate for you, find some more big fish, and crazily humiliate those anglers, okay?"

"Although the gifts aren't expensive, a dime or two is still love, isn't it? The audience loves to watch. I'll go find them two 200-jin giants to come over and tease them!"

An Sheng wasn't sure if there were 200-jin big fish in the river.

But if there weren't, he could just ask the orca family to help out.

If An Sheng remembered correctly, orcas could also live in fresh water for a period of time.

By then.

If Yu Xueqing fished up a whale, An Sheng couldn't even imagine the program effect in the livestream room.
