Chapter 23 Designated Location Seyves Reservoir

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the person involved, Ye Chen was no exception.

He picked up his phone and briefly looked at the online news about himself.

Then, he came to a conclusion.

He...

Really became famous because of this incident!

At the same time, these omnipotent netizens also dug out Ye Chen's story.

After all, Ye Chen was livestreaming the entire event today and even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't.

Once Ye Chen's complete livestream footage was revealed, it shocked countless netizens.

The reports, rumors, videos, etc., about Ye Chen were emerging endlessly online.

"Can't believe this outcome, this fishing streamer essentially demonstrated what a 'Werewolf' is!"

"Fishing streamer catches a corpse while night fishing, the streamer, worried about scaring the community, actually tells people not to call the police!"

"Horrifying! Young Taoist priest fishing by the river at night actually pulls up a corpse!"

...

As Ye Chen's identity was exposed, these curious netizens then followed him en masse on the Quick Shake platform.

After figuring these out, Ye Chen opened the Quick Shake platform and went into his account page.

As soon as he opened the app, notifications began popping up one after another.

Fans 999+, Likes 999+, Comments 999+.

Next, viewing the number of fans: 1.035 million.

In just one hour, had he really become a fishing streamer with millions of followers?

You should know, on the Quick Shake platform, there are several famous fishing streamers.

The top ones have tens of millions of fans, something Ye Chen couldn't compare to.

However, like some smaller streamers, their fan count is also a few million.

Except for these bigshots whom Ye Chen couldn't compare to, with Ye Chen's current fan count, he could definitely be among the top ranks in the livestream fishing world.

Like the "East Sea's King of Fishing" who was setting the tone in the live stream room today, his fan count was also just around four hundred thousand.

Probably, when he finds out about this, he'd be so angry he'll spit blood!

When Ye Chen started his livestream today, he clearly remembered that there were about seventy to eighty people in the live stream room, and his fans numbered around four thousand.

After all, not all his fans would be present for each livestream.

Also, under Ye Chen's newest video, the comments had reached over ten thousand.

And all of these comments were posted within the last minute.

"OMG, is the streamer really a Taoist priest fishing dude by the riverbank?"

"Boss 666, the first time I've seen someone use an urn as a fishing bait box!"

"Inhale some of that lucky air, may it bless me to win the lottery so I don't have to be a miserable 996 worker anymore!"

"I want to ask the streamer, when are you starting your broadcast?"

"Mr. Ye, when will you livestream? It doesn't matter whether you catch fish or not, I just love seeing you catching other things."

"I watched a few videos of fishing dude Mr. Ye, and it seems like he never really catches any fish, haha, dying of laughter!"

"What kind of fishing blogger fails to catch fish, is he here just to clown around?"

...

Just like everyone said.

Ye Chen really did become famous…

However, he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, feeling somehow unable to be happy.

Then, the boss brought over sizzling skewers, chuckling as he said to Ye Chen.

"Now Mr. Ye is famous across the whole internet, everyone knows Mr. Ye."

"But I think..."

"This also let the whole internet know that Mr. Ye never catches any fish, hahaha!"

Fuck! Right!!!

Ye Chen suddenly realized, he always felt something was off, and it was because of this!

The other fishing folks around also came to their senses.

They discussed among themselves.

"Hey, the boss is right! Now the whole internet knows Mr. Ye is the commander of the air force [a joke for not catching any fish]."

"What air force, didn't Mr. Ye say before? Fishing, it's all about the state of mind..."

"Bullshit! Mr. Ye saying that is just for the fans, if he really could catch fish, it wouldn't be about that state of mind anymore!"

"It really is like that, but Mr. Ye, this won't do, you need to hurry up and catch some fish, even just a small fish, you can't let our Jiang City fishing folks lose face!"

"That's right, men must fight!"

"Jiang City River is currently a no-go, who knows, it might become a check-in spot for internet celebrities later, plus with this incident, even real fishing won't be comfortable!"

"Yeah, but ... where should we go then? We need to help Mr. Ye rid of the bad luck of catching a corpse!"

"I know a place, Seyves Reservoir!"

"Seyves Reservoir? I've heard of this place, seems like it was a base for fighting against the Japanese, some people even dug up some ancient relics there years ago."

"That's perfect, it wards off evil! And the most important thing is, Seyves Reservoir has a great bite, whether it's silver carp, crucian carp, or common carp, you can catch them all!"

"Let's go there tomorrow then, Mr. Ye... what do you think?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem at all, after sunrise, we'll head there!"

"Nine o'clock in the morning, everyone gather!"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, no one disagreed.

However, someone deliberately teased old Liao Head: "Old Liao Head, don't forget the bet you made with Mr. Ye today!"

"We are all waiting to drink the wedding wine of your granddaughter and Mr. Ye!"

Old Liao Head, who was enjoying his meal, frowned upon hearing this, and said annoyedly: "Get lost, get lost!"

These guys, really are too much, he was actually worrying about how to talk to his granddaughter about it...

As for the timing, indeed there was no issue, tomorrow was Saturday.

Since the little girl has a holiday on weekends and her college is also in Jiang City.

But...

How should he bring up this matter to her?

"Granddaughter, grandpa made a bet and lost, you have to be someone's assistant for a week, carrying buckets, scooping fish, etc..."

No, that won't work...

Although the little girl is very obedient and listens to him, if he really said it like that, wouldn't he lose all his dignity?

Moreover, if his wife and son learned about this, wouldn't that be even less dignified?

But he had already made a promise, how would these old buddies view him if he didn't follow through?

Unable to think of a good solution, Old Liao Head felt incredibly frustrated.

Really let his granddaughter be the assistant to this youngster Ye Chen?

For a moment, Old Liao Head just felt like he had fallen into a trap set by this youngster Ye Chen today.

As for what those fishermen said, about getting the two together.

What a joke!!!

Old Liao Head didn't care about Ye Chen's family background.

And really, this youngster's looks, personality, they were all fine.

But Ye Chen's fishing skills were just too poor.
