Chapter 40 The Rhythm of the East Sea's King of Fishing

Liao Xuexue thought it over and said, "It must have been buried somewhere before, and somehow, it got washed into the reservoir."

"Today, it just so happened that you fished it out..."

Actually, Liao Xuexue's surprise at this moment was no less than Ye Chen's.

She never expected that what Mr. Ye fished up was not a fish, but a handgun with a history of seventy to eighty years.

Handguns are not like other things, it's illegal to privately own firearms in China!

But unfortunately, it was such a handgun that Mr. Ye managed to fish out.

As for why the handgun was not completely corroded by water, Liao Xuexue felt that it could only be as she had said.

For a moment, Liao Xuexue didn't know whether to admire Mr. Ye's fishing skills or to pity him.

Today is the second cast, and what came up was not fish...

The onlookers, the fishing enthusiasts, hearing the conversation between Liao Xuexue and Ye Chen, became interested in the gun.

First, they rushed to take a look at the gun, meanwhile discussing.

"It really seems to be a real handgun, Mr. Ye, try and see if you can fish up some bullets too, if there are bullets, I'll shoot down that bird nest for you from afar!"

"Let me take a look too, I've never seen a real gun in my life, Mr. Ye really can fish up some odd stuff, I didn't dare to look at the corpse last night, but I definitely want to check out this handgun today."

"Mr. Ye, you don't have to worry when you fish at night anymore, just carry this handgun, if anyone bothers you, just shoot them!"

"Oh no, that won't do, you can't possess this thing privately, better hand it over to the police station."

"Yeah, Mr. Ye, you should really hand over this gun to the police station..."

...

At this time, the audience in the live stream room also came to a realization.

So, what Mr. Ye fished up was not any toy gun or air gun, nor the big crucian carp everyone thought!

It was a real, genuine handgun!

This scene in front of the camera completely shocked these fans.

Especially the new viewers in the live stream room.

For a moment, in the live stream room, barrages and gifts kept flying.

"Damn, the streamer actually fished up a real piece?"

"Seeing everyone's reaction seems correct, this girl is not wrong, this handgun is indeed a hand cannon from the resistance era!"

"Holy crap, if this is true, won't the streamer hit the trending search tomorrow?"

"Well, isn't that obvious? A regular person handing over a gun to the police station would make the news, this streamer fished up a handgun, if it were you, would you believe it? It's not just going to make the news, it's probably really going to hit the trending search!"

"Can't the streamer really fish up any fish? Hahaha, fishing a fish is much easier than a handgun!"

"That's why I like following this streamer, others make fishing look simple, but this streamer doesn't fish for fish, instead, he always ends up fishing for these strange and unusual things!"

"I'm dying of laughter, Mr. Ye still has that depressed look, what big crucian carp, it's clearly just a hand cannon!"

"Support handing it over, such a thing is too dangerous to exist among the public, it really should be surrendered!"

"Yes, fellow anglers, you really can't keep this kind of thing!"

...

At this moment.

Initially looking miserable and feeling troubled in his heart, Ye Chen, hearing everyone's discussions.

　　He suddenly remembered what the branch captain said to him last night.

　　"Young man, you're so young, why be obsessed with fishing?"

　　"Even if you're addicted to fishing, haven't you failed to catch a single fish?"

　　"Instead, you've brought up a bunch of junk, rotting fish, corpses, and the like."

　　"If you're such a great fisherman, why not catch an aircraft carrier or an airplane?"

　　"You should get a job, a stable job, contribute to our country..."

　　Ye Chen was always a bit petty.

　　Although he knew that the branch captain said these things for his own good.

　　But he still felt like being a bit malicious.

　　This time he caught a handgun and handed it over to the state, that's a contribution to society, right?

　　When he delivers this gun to the police, he'll definitely ask for a banner.

　　Don't write anything else, just: "Fishing God, catching guns for the people!"

　　While gifts and comments were flooding the live stream room.

　　In Ye Chen's live stream room, a familiar figure appeared.

　　"East Sea's King of Fishing"!

　　Ye Chen's old fans were very familiar with this username.

　　Yesterday, when Ye Chen caught rotten fish and a corpse, it was this guy who led the charge in the live stream, criticizing Ye Chen.

　　Insistently claiming that there were divers hired by Ye Chen under the water, that the rotten fish were placed there by the divers.

　　Similarly, the body was just a rolled-up old quilt, merely a part of Ye Chen's script to attract attention.

　　He even said that Ye Chen wouldn't call the police in the end.

　　Such is the power of public opinion, under "East Sea's King of Fishing"'s influence last night, many mindless viewers were stirred up.

　　Because "East Sea's King of Fishing" just said a few words in the live stream, Ye Chen obviously couldn't hold him accountable.

　　Even when the cops really came and confirmed that it was the corpse of an adult middle-aged man.

　　Even though "East Sea's King of Fishing" was proven wrong and humiliated, he still shamelessly remained active in Ye Chen's live stream today.

　　Not only that, because he questioned Ye Chen yesterday, he actually gained thousands of followers.

　　Benefiting from this, he decided to strike again today.

　　Thus, he started spamming the chat continuously in the live stream.

　　"Listen viewers, you don't actually believe this is some kind of mysticism, do you? Underneath in the reservoir, there definitely are Ye Chen's accomplices, who the hell would really fish out a gun? And this gun is obviously fake, okay?"

　　"That girl as well, clearly just a plant by Ye Chen, all these are just pre-written scripts."

　　"If Ye Chen really had the ability to foresee, why wouldn't he predict lottery numbers? No one actually believes that he fishes just for fun, right?"

　　"Not catching a single fish, yet streaming fishing every day, if it's not for making money, why would he do it?"

　　"How does Ye Chen make money? It's all from gifts from you mindless fans!"

　　"If you don't believe all this is fake, then follow me, this afternoon I will reveal Ye Chen's scam!"

　　"Prophecies, who can't make them? Just give me enough money, I can even fish an airplane for you, would you believe that?"

　　"And Ye Chen claims the gun he fished is real, but believe it or not, he definitely doesn't have the guts to report it to the cops and hand over the gun!"

　　"Don't believe it? Just wait and see. After he finishes fishing, Ye Chen will deceive you by pretending to turn the handgun over to the cops, whether it's really handed over or fake, who knows?"
