Chapter 32: Unlocking New Achievements

As for Liao Xuexue hugging herself, Ye Chen was very clear that it was nothing more than an instinctive reaction.

Now, Liao Xuexue's face was red like a ripe apple.

At the same time, tears from the recent fright were hanging at the corners of her eyes, making her look delicate and lovable.

However, despite this, Ye Chen had no particular thoughts about this Liao Xuexue.

After all, for anglers the world over, the biggest obstacle on the road to fishing is their wives.

At the lighter end, fishing can be disrupted by a wife's nagging, causing annoyance and distraction.

Or she might go as far as to break your fishing rod and smash your gear.

At the worse, she could kick you straight into the water and make you choose between her and fishing.

How many anglers have failed to withstand such tests, succumbing to the oppression of their wives and losing their way in fishing.

As a man aiming to be the King of Fishing, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't dig a hole for himself.

However…

Come to think of it, that Liao Xuexue smelled really nice.

And it wasn't the scent of cheap perfume.

If this little girl supported his fishing and every day helped carry buckets, bait spots, and lift fish,

Then Ye Chen wasn't completely against the idea.

After all, who would refuse a sweet-looking, tender girl?

The only downside was that he might have to start calling old man Liao 'grandpa'.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen turned to glance at old man Liao.

In that moment, he couldn't help but shudder.

Right now, old man Liao was standing there, seething with anger, glaring at Ye Chen with a nasty expression.

The veins in his neck were about to burst, his eyes bulging bigger than bull's eggs!

He was moments away from tearing Ye Chen apart.

What was most maddening was that right at this time, the fellow anglers at the Jiang City River bank were still egging on the situation.

A chorus of sighs rose and fell.

These people knew about the bet Ye Chen had with old man Liao, and they really did hope that Ye Chen could win Liao's granddaughter.

Not only would this knock old man Liao's arrogance down a peg, but they would also get to share in the joyous occasion, wouldn't they?

In no time, what started as Ye Chen's mockery turned into everyone's mockery of old man Liao.

Old man Liao's granddaughter stood there, clutching the hem of her clothes in a lost and helpless manner.

In old man Liao's eyes, she looked just like a coy and bashful newlywed.

Old man Liao was so angry his face turned purple.

Damn it!

Similarly, the live stream room was buzzing with activity.

"This beauty is indeed old man Liao's granddaughter, the plot is just like when old man Liao was fishing last night!"

"Hahaha, the guy above, I was in the live stream room yesterday, I almost died laughing. The only difference is that old man Liao was so scared yesterday he fell into the water, while his granddaughter was scared and threw herself into the arms of Teacher Ye!"

"Teacher Ye, 666!"

"This is killing two birds with one stone! Not only did he catch a Water Snake but also got a little sister!"

"So that's it, I just realized this girl is the granddaughter of old man Liao from the video!"

"Teacher Ye is really amazing. Although he didn't catch a fish, he certainly won big time, haha!"

"Teacher Ye has such an innocent look on his face and even raised his hands, so cute!"

"U1S1, this little sister is really pretty, fair and lovely. With Teacher Ye's tanned skin, they're like a perfect match of black and white!"

```

...

Clearly, the group of people sending bullet comments in the live stream room right now all watched the entire stream last night, or saw the complete video.

Those who are clueless about what happened yesterday are all dumbfounded.

They had thought this girl was Ye Chen's girlfriend.

The scene just now, they thought it was the girl scooping up a snake and getting scared, just a couple flaunting their love.

So, their focus remained on the snake.

"My God, actually fished up a water snake directly?"

"That water snake looks pretty big, at least twenty pounds?"

"Truly terrifying, this streamer can fish up anything except fish!"

"Tell you what, not just girls would be afraid of that thing, even burly men would jump at the sight!"

"Hahaha, this streamer is killing me, I thought his fishing skills were on fire, but he ended up fishing up a water snake?"

"Does this... still count as a miss? At least the streamer fished up something, even though it's a snake..."

...

These onlookers who didn't know the truth got sidetracked.

They also realized it.

The fishing dude will never come up empty-handed.

Aside from fish, there's nothing Ye Chen can't fish up that we dare not imagine.

Truly deserving of the title Teacher Ye, casting a rod and instantly getting a bite, even though what was caught wasn't a fish...

Of course, these realizations by the audience had also occurred to Ye Chen.

The embrace with Liao Xuexue just now and touching her hand was just an accidental event.

As a fisherman, his heart could only think about fishing.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Chen was feeling somewhat irritated.

What left him speechless was that although the system didn't upgrade, he had unlocked a new achievement.

[Snake Fisher: Gain the ability to fish for water snakes, increasing the chances of catching water snakes...]

If this system was in front of him, Ye Chen would definitely give it a good beating without a second word.

To say whether this system is useful or not, it actually is.

Ye Chen felt that being able to fish up... a snake so quickly was thanks to the system.

After all, he had now unlocked the achievement [Never Come Up Empty].

Fishing up such a thing right away, it indeed cannot be considered a miss.

Even, Ye Chen felt that the chance to enjoy a hug from Liao Xuexue was probably due to the system achievement [Evil Repeller].

As for the newly unlocked "Snake Fisher" ability, it truly made his mood incredibly bitter.

This skill was really too useless, even worse than the previous "Corpse Capturer"!

After all, fishing up a corpse could at least come with the chance of some kind of reward.

But it's not the same with snakes.

Ordinary water snakes are worthless, and some rare snakes are protected animals; one careless move could land you behind bars.

However, although the system isn't powerful, Ye Chen knows that fishing should not be overly dependent on external forces.

Besides, isn't this system also growing?

He fished up a corpse, and the system unlocked the ability "Corpse Capturer".

He fished up a water snake, and the system unlocked the "Snake Fisher" ability.

If later he fishes up a fish, won't he become a top-tier King of Fishing?
