Chapter 37: The Hooked Liao Xuexue

Liao Xuexue looked puzzled.

This was the first time she saw her grandpa losing his composure like this.

Nevertheless, despite not believing it, she still shook her head and declined the bet with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen clicked his tongue, sighing with a face full of regret.

A few minutes ago, he suddenly received a system notification in his mind.

[Predictive Ability activated: In six more minutes of fishing, you will catch ???x1]

[Weight: Two Jin and three liang]

[Length: 20cm]

[Value: ???]

As a fishing enthusiast, although Ye Chen rarely caught any fish himself,

there is a saying, "Though you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?"

Moreover, Ye Chen's theoretical knowledge could be considered expert-level; determining the type of fish was really too simple for him.

Weighing two Jin and three liang, and twenty centimeters in length, these were exactly the weight and length of a big crucian carp.

He was definitely not wrong this time!

Because apart from crucian carp, Ye Chen really couldn't think of anything else that would match this weight and length.

Also, crucian carp are the easiest type of fish to catch, and for many beginners, the first catch often is a crucian carp.

The length of a crucian carp typically ranges between three and thirty centimeters.

Small crucian carps are common, but one weighing two Jin and three liang is rare.

Therefore, this time Ye Chen believed that he could definitely catch a living big crucian carp!

If old man Liao or Liao Xuexue had wagered,

He would definitely win.

But it seemed like old man Liao had been left traumatized by betting with him before.

It was alright for him not to bet, but he even prevented his granddaughter from betting.

What a pity…

Just as Ye Chen was sighing,

A voice as clear as a lark's sang beside him, "Teacher Ye, I really don't believe it, how about we bet?"

Ye Chen was startled upon hearing this.

This girl, she actually "took the bait" herself?

For a moment, Ye Chen was overjoyed.

With the system, such a bet was a guaranteed win for Ye Chen.

Now, three minutes had passed since the system's notification.

So Ye Chen hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Alright, let me explain the bet."

"Six minutes later... no, in three minutes."

"In three minutes, I will catch something... no, I will catch something."

"It will be twenty centimeters in length, weighing two Jin and three liang."

"And the error will not exceed 0.1 centimeter, 0.1 liang."

Originally, Ye Chen wanted to say he would catch a fish, but upon speaking, he felt something was off.

Although he felt there was a high probability he would catch a big crucian carp this time, it was still just a feeling.

It was just that since the system's prediction, Ye Chen always ended up with something outrageous.

And now that he was betting with Liao Xuexue, it was better to be safer.

Sitting beside him, Liao Xuexue was once again shocked by Ye Chen.

Previously, Teacher Ye had said anything over twenty centimeters and two Jin three liang.

But this time, he even claimed the error would not surpass 0.1!

Originally, she felt that Teacher Ye's ability to predict was too ridiculous.

Of course, at this moment, Liao Xuexue herself didn't realize, even though her grandpa had reminded her countless times that this Teacher Ye was not a good person.

But she herself thought that he was pretty nice, as such a fishing expert, not to mention young, he was also especially handsome, most importantly he had a great personality and no airs about him.

So, she ended up playfully making a bet with Ye Chen.

Liao Xuexue asked quietly, "What if you don't catch anything, or if there's a discrepancy in the weight and length?"

Ye Chen revealed a sly smile, this time he decided to make old Liao bleed massively.

"If I win, you give me back your wages, how about that?"

Ye Chen knew, this girl was still being kept in the dark by old Liao, she really thought she was hired as Ye Chen's assistant.

However, this situation wouldn't last too long.

After all, Ye Chen was incredibly popular online now.

If Liao Xuexue saw last night's full video, she would definitely understand the truth.

By then, old Liao's fourteen thousand yuan, this girl would surely return it.

Thus…

Always valuing money, Ye Chen naturally thought of this bet.

But who knew, Liao Xuexue hesitated, "Ah… wouldn't this turn into gambling?"

Ye Chen twitched the corner of his eye, then explained, "How is this gambling?"

"Think about it, if I win, you refund me the money, and you would have worked for me for free."

Unexpectedly, Liao Xuexue rolled her eyes, "Are you fooling a fool? Isn't it the same thing?"

"But… anyway, this money is yours, giving it to you doesn't matter."

"What if you lose?"

Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, then pointed to the agricultural tricycle behind him, "If I lose, I'll give you this tricycle."

"I just bought it this morning, a brand-new tricycle, it cost me twenty thousand!"

Upon hearing this, Liao Xuexue burst out laughing, "I... I don't want your tricycle!"

"Then, if you lose, you lend me your fishing gear, and you take care of baiting and carrying the bucket."

"I… I also want to try the feeling of fishing..."

By the end, Liao Xuexue seemed a bit shy, her voice particularly soft.

Fortunately, she wasn't as uptight as before, after finishing her words, Liao Xuexue even made a face at Ye Chen.

Not gonna lie, pretty cute.

But no matter how cute, it's not as good as having money.

Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at old Liao who was watchfully staring at him from a distance, he smiled at the girl, "Alright, no problem!"

"No backing out!" Liao Xuexue, as if confident in herself, waved her little fists, spiritedly saying.

"When the time comes, don't back out." Ye Chen's corner of his mouth lifted, "I'm afraid you won't own up to it if you lose."

"I wouldn't, come on, pinky promise, no changes for a hundred years!" Liao Xuexue extended her cute little pinky.

"Tsk…"

Although Ye Chen looked rather disapproving, he still hooked his pinky with Liao Xuexue's.

After completing this ceremonious bet, Ye Chen's heart was blossoming with joy.

This was fourteen thousand yuan, how long had old Liao been saving this secret stash!

Girl, if you don't own up by then, your grandpa might cry out in grief!

Not far away, old Liao who had finally shifted his gaze from Ye Chen to the fishing float, couldn't help but sneeze.

Afterward, he suddenly turned his head, looking in Ye Chen's direction, a face full of annoyance.

This little rascal, might be speaking ill of him behind his back again.

At the same time, he glanced at his watch.

Hmm…

Less than thirty seconds left until the time Ye Chen said he would catch a big crucian carp.
