The reason Ye Chen became so confident was naturally due to the system's belated prompt...
Ye Chen's shout might not have been a big deal, but it immediately caught the attention of the group of anglers on the riverbank as well as the fans in the live stream room.
You see...
Last night, Ye Chen took prophecy to the extreme.
As long as he said he would catch something at a certain time, as soon as that time came, he would definitely catch it.
And this time, it was likely no exception.
In no time, many onlookers were already timing, ready to watch a good show unfold.
As for the live stream room, it was bustling with activity.
At this moment, Ye Chen's live stream had already reached over three hundred thousand viewers.
There were already many bullet comments, and when Ye Chen "made his grand statements," the comments became even denser, quickly flickering across the screen.
"The show has started, the streamer is finally starting, everyone pay attention, watch how the streamer uses Mysticism to fish!"
"The streamer really has something, truly akin to Jiang Taigong fishing, with willing fish getting hooked, and even has the 'word-following magic' ability!"
"Last night, the streamer said that within two hours, he would catch something worth more than six digits, and sure enough, a body fell in, and the family of the deceased offered a reward amounting to two hundred thousand, surpassing six digits!"
"I was also there last night, and the streamer mentioned the weight too, he said he would catch something over a hundred pounds, and needless to say about that adult male body, it definitely weighed over a hundred pounds!"
"Let me explain to the new people in the live stream room, wasn't someone just asking why the big fishing bait box near the group of old men's feet looked like an urn? It's all about the Mysticism involved!"
"Superficially, the streamer is a fisherman who can't catch fish, but he is actually a Taoist priest who can perform Spells, everyone please widen your eyes and watch the streamer's show!"
"Six minutes, everyone watch closely, it will absolutely shock your worldviews!"
"Teacher Ye, quickly tell us, what will you catch this time and how much will it weigh!"
...
Before Ye Chen could say anything.
The seasoned fans in the live stream room had already started boasting for Ye Chen.
And the newcomers to the live stream room were extremely thrilled.
After all, apart from a small portion funneled in through the platform, the majority of viewers found Ye Chen's live stream due to the news of him catching a body last night at Jiang City River.
As the moments at ten o'clock gradually passed.
The online popularity continued to rise as more and more people watched last night's live stream replay.
If catching a body could be chalked up to coincidence.
Then in last night's replay, where Ye Chen predicted he would soon catch something big.
And calculated that its value would exceed six digits, and estimated it would weigh over a hundred pounds.
This just couldn't be explained by science anymore.
What's most interesting is.
Before catching the body, everyone thought that Ye Chen would catch a big fish.
Instead, it turned out to be a body.
This reversal, along with the terrifying scene of finding a body while night fishing.
Added to Ye Chen's absurd predictive ability.
And Ye Chen's persona as someone who can catch anything but fish.
All these factors led to last night's case of catching a body becoming explosively popular!
However, videos are still videos, not nearly as thrilling and real as live streaming.
So...
The viewers in the live stream room couldn't wait to start timing.
On the bullet comments, most people were keeping track of time.
"Five minutes and one second..."
"Four minutes fifty-nine seconds..."
"Four minutes fifty-eight seconds..."
...
When their bullet-chat turned to "zero seconds."
Just like countless old fans said, that would be the moment to witness a miracle.
On the shore.
Liao Xuexue's sweet face was full of disbelief.
Normally speaking, isn't fishing completely random in terms of what you can catch?
How can someone predict and guide what fish you will catch in advance?
Even more outrageous.
This feeling of surprise seemed to be only her own.
The group of fishing enthusiasts nearby seemed accustomed to Teacher Ye's underwater predictions.
Not only did no one question it, but quite a few were asking him.
"Teacher Ye, how heavy will the thing you catch this time be?"
"Tsk tsk, Teacher Ye, you're here again? You should catch a fish this time, right?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a fish, I just want to know how much the thing that Teacher Ye catches will be worth, if it's like before, does that mean we can mooch off Teacher Ye's meal again!"
...
Even Liao Xuexue's grandfather, Old Liao, scoffed.
"Heh, it's been over an hour now, and only now he's about to catch a fish, what's there to be proud of?"
"Besides, it's not even certain you'll catch the fish!"
Tsk tsk...
After all, this is fishing, how could Teacher Ye say he will catch a fish in six minutes and just do it?
Suddenly...
Liao Xuexue noticed a pile of ashes by the shore.
She suddenly thought of the scene where Teacher Ye was burning incense and paper by the shore earlier.
Could it be what her grandfather said, the ultimate in fishing... Mysticism?
The next second.
Hearing Old Liao's ridicule, Ye Chen was not happy.
He said.
"Tsk tsk, indeed, I have nothing to be proud of."
"But I'm about to catch a big carp, at least twenty centimeters long, weighing two pounds and three liang!"
"Such a big carp is not common, definitely considered a giant creature!"
Twenty centimeters long.
Weighing two pounds and three liang?
Indeed, such a length and weight are definitely considered giant for a carp.
But this made Liao Xuexue even more astonished.
Could it be that Teacher Ye can predict even the length and weight of the fish?
Moreover, Teacher Ye seemed full of confidence in his prediction.
Only to see Teacher Ye provocatively said to his grandfather: "Old Liao, how about we make another bet?"
"Fuck off!"
Her grandfather seemed very averse to betting, and cursed outright.
"No bet, then no block." Ye Chen curled his lip, then turned his gaze to Liao Xuexue.
"How about you have a bet with me?"
Liao Xuexue blinked her watery eyes, puzzled and asked: "Huh? What bet?"
Ye Chen with a bright smile: "Just bet that I will catch, ahem, something, within six minutes."
"Let's see if what I catch is twenty centimeters long, weighing two pounds three liang..."
Who knew, just as Ye Chen finished speaking.
Old Liao, beside him, yelled as if he had gone crazy, completely disregarding his image and shouted: "I fucking!!!"
"Xuexue, you... you must not bet with him!!!"
