Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 10 Carp in a Row

Since they had just started fishing, the fish hadn't yet attracted any bites, and even Xiao Kai's "golden finger" (a nickname for a fishing expert) didn't register any activity.

The three of them decided to have a simple chat.

Through the conversation, Xiao Kai learned that Lao Mo had already discovered that Yu Qiqiang was using other people's fish to make a drink, but out of consideration for the other party's feelings, he only made a few simple remarks and did not expose him on the spot.

When the two talked offline afterwards, under his coercion and enticement, the facts were indeed as he had expected.

As for how the truth came out, that brings us to the fish basket.

As someone who doesn't fish often, Xiao Kai's fish basket isn't actually that big; in fact, it's rather small.

It's sufficient for amateur fishing, but it's far from enough for a seasoned angler.

These two, being good friends who often fished together, naturally knew each other's situation perfectly and knew that the other could not possibly have such a small fish basket, so they gave themselves away at a glance.

After being exposed, Yu Qiqiang immediately recounted the events of that night when he and Xiao Kai were fishing there.

Upon learning that Xiao Kai had actually managed to fish out a black pit at this famous air force base, Lao Mo immediately became interested and asked Yu Qiqiang to invite Xiao Kai out to get to know him.

In addition, Xiao Kai also learned about the professions of these two people.

Let's start with Yu Qiqiang. He runs a car repair shop and is usually quite free, so he's almost always either fishing or on his way to fish.

Lao Mo works for a state-owned enterprise and goes fishing whenever he has free time.

The two met during a night fishing trip.

It must be said that fishing has indeed turned many strangers into good friends.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them had been at the water's edge for almost an hour.

During that time, apart from one seemingly random movement of the float by Lao Mo, there was no further activity.

Even with Xiao Kai's "golden touch," no fish took the bait.

This puzzled Xiao Kai for a moment.

You should know that his magic touch had worked every time in the previous two attempts; there was no fish he couldn't attract.

Even here at Yangjiahu Reservoir, last time fish started biting the hook in just half an hour, and it was a big fish.

Although we didn't catch the first one, at least there was some movement.

But this time, there was no movement for a full hour.

To be honest, even with his cheat-like abilities, Xiao Kai was getting a little anxious, after all, you can't cook without rice.

This demonstrates the extent of resource scarcity in Yangjiahu Reservoir.

Xiao Kai immediately resolved in his heart that he would never come here to fish again.

They definitely won't come during the autumn and winter seasons.

In summer, the fish have a larger range of activity. Even if big fish don't gather, some small fish will at least come. Unlike now, there's not a single movement.

Moreover, if he wants to make a living by fishing, such a resource-scarce place is obviously not suitable.

From then on, his fishing trips would inevitably involve choosing places far from human habitation, in order to perhaps reap huge rewards.

And so, another twenty minutes passed.

During the conversation, the three of them seemed to get tired and gradually stopped.

It was 8:30 p.m.

Suddenly, the luminous buoy in front of Lao Mo moved slightly, and then disappeared into the water with a beautiful descent.

Upon seeing this, he quickly and sharply lifted the rod.

As expected, we caught a fish.

"Haha, we caught a fish! I've been waiting so long!"

Suddenly, Old Mo's slightly excited laughter rang out from the riverbank.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai and Yu Qiqiang both cast envious glances at him.

"Damn, that's real luck! Even with all my cheat codes, I can't attract any fish, but Old Mo just kept getting them!"

Watching the fish darting around underwater under Lao Mo's control, Xiao Kai couldn't help but think to himself.

He was also frustrated. With such a big circle, even if only one fish passed by, it would logically gather around and guess correctly, but he just couldn't wait for it to come.

With mixed feelings, Xiao Kai and Yu Qiqiang quickly got up and went to Lao Mo's side to help him put the fish basket and landing net in place, and then waited for him to play the fish.

Soon, Lao Mo lifted a carp weighing about three or four pounds onto the surface of the water.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of water, the fish lost its spirit and was eventually caught by Yu Qiqiang.

As soon as Lao Mo brought the fish up, Xiao Kai and his companion were immediately invigorated.

After returning to their respective fishing spots, they became more focused.

Another ten minutes or so passed.

Just then, the luminous float in front of Xiao Kai moved slightly.

It first sank slowly downwards, then floated back up before reaching the surface, and then, in Xiao Kai's eyes, it suddenly sank completely into the water.

call out!

Xiao Kai, who had been eagerly awaiting this moment, instantly lifted his rod.

The next second, adrenaline surged again.

Needless to say, it's another big fish.

"Damn, did we stir up a huge fish nest? How did you two both get caught, and both of them are big fish!"

Seeing the commotion on Xiao Kai's side, Yu Qiqiang, who was in the middle, had a bitter face and was so frustrated that his heart was about to break.

You know, he's been to Yangjiahu Reservoir countless times, but he's never caught a fish weighing more than a pound.

But ever since she met Xiao Kai, she has seen big fish take the bait in just two short periods of time.

Let's not even mention the last time. This time it was Lao Mo first, and then Xiao Kai. Why isn't it his?

Frustrated, Yu Qiqiang obediently went to Xiao Kai's side to help him scoop the fish.

Just then, Lao Mo arrived and said with a smile, "I told you long ago, Lao Yu, you're only good at scooping fish!"

"screw you!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, Xiao Kai finally caught a fish on his fishing rod.

By the light of their headlamps, Xiao Kai and his two companions immediately recognized it as another carp.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Kai smiled.

It wasn't easy. Even with cheats, I almost couldn't beat others. At least I made a sale.

Soon, with the help of the two, the carp was successfully kept in the protection facility.

Xiao Kai took a closer look and noticed that this one was about the same size as the one Lao Mo had.

After tidying up briefly, Xiao Kai baited the bait again.

He had assumed that this time it would take quite a while again.

But less than five minutes after the bait was placed, another big black float appeared.

This time, Xiao Kai decisively lifted the rod again.

As expected, the fish was caught again.

As he felt an even stronger dragging sensation than the previous one, Xiao Kai knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this was another carp.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of competition, a carp slightly larger than the previous one was pulled out of the water, estimated to weigh about five pounds.

Seeing this, Yu Qiqiang, who was standing to the side, cast an envious glance at him again and quickly helped to scoop the fish.

However, he had only been back at his fishing spot for less than a minute when Xiao Kai heard the swishing sound of the fishing line again.

"Are they trying to kill us?!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Yu Qiqiang felt so frustrated that he wanted to shout that it was unfair, but he had no choice but to come to Xiao Kai's side again and become the fish-scooping worker.

That wasn't the end of it. A few minutes after he returned to his fishing spot, Xiao Kai's familiar voice came again.

That feeling from that night seems to have returned.

After catching the first carp, Xiao Kai's streak of catching fish continued once again.

Unlike last time, this time the fish caught in the lap were not crucian carp, but carp.

In just over an hour, Xiao Kai caught thirteen carp, the smallest weighing three or four pounds and the largest weighing nearly ten pounds, filling the small fish basket to the brim.

This is the result after Xiao Kai decoupled twice; otherwise, there would have been even more.

Upon seeing this, not only Yu Qiqiang, but even Lao Mo was stunned.

He had seen people use their poles in a row, and he had seen people use their poles to their full potential, but he had never seen anyone play like this at Yangjiahu Reservoir.

Is this still the Yangjiahu Reservoir he knows?

Now, he completely believed what Lao Yu had said about Xiao Kai's incredible luck.

In his opinion, the only way to catch a huge amount of carp in Yangjiahu Reservoir is through incredible luck.
