Fishing is a sport popular among middle-aged men.

It has even begun to permeate the younger demographic.

Many married men and even younger people, who neither play cards, drink, nor chase women, could sit with a fishing rod by the water's edge for an entire day.

As a first-timer, Jiang Chen's fishing skills were naturally a mess. Moreover, the old man had said there weren't many fish in the river, so after sitting for most of the day, his submerged fish basket was still empty.

Though lacking in fishing skills, he possessed the essential virtue of every fisherman—patience. Even after wasting half the day without seeing even a shadow of a fish, he remained calm and unruffled.

Fortune favors the persistent.

Finally.

After persisting for four to five hours, the float finally moved as if a fish was nibbling at the bait.

Jiang Chen, a complete rookie, didn't rush and instead straightened his body, planning to wait until the fish was completely hooked before reeling in.
