The Top Fishing Master

Chapter 350: Ice Fishing_2



.....

As the comments kept flooding in, the photographer was quietly amused.

Watching the popularity of the live stream soar while being so laid-back, he felt lucky to have such a great job.

Easy, free, happy, and damn it, well-paid!

Truly something everyone envies.

Just as he was feeling smug, Li Xiaopeng suddenly turned his head back with a hint of melancholy.

"Hey buddy, how old are you this year?"

The photographer was a bit taken aback, not knowing why the other suddenly asked this.

But he still answered honestly, "Brother Xiao Peng, I'm 22 this year. Why, do you want to set me up with someone?"

His face beamed like a chrysanthemum, thinking he was very funny.

The live chat was full of sarcasm.

"Who the hell said they're going to set you up? Quite self-loving, aren't you? They just asked your age, and you thought it was about setting you up."

"Hahaha, with the photographer's looks, if someone introduced a girl to him, she might think she's offended someone."

"Hahaha, with the ice so clear, how come the photographer doesn't use it as a mirror to check himself out?"

Amidst the laughter from the audience, the photographer didn't mind.

A person has to be teased a little.

However, what Li Xiaopeng said next caught him off guard.

"Only 22, huh? So young! Young people should do more work to grow!"

With that, he took his huge backpack off and hooked it onto the photographer's neck.

This move stunned him.

"Huh???

The photographer looked utterly baffled.

Meanwhile, the backpack was so large and heavy that, despite his confident stride, the photographer stumbled and nearly fell to his knees.

"This, Brother Xiao Peng, you're not playing fair."

The photographer complained with a distressed face but had to obediently carry the bag.

After all, as a member of Lin Yang's team's exclusive live streaming crew, he didn't dare refuse a bit of work.

In the live chat, however, the audience burst into laughter, thoroughly entertained.

"What a line, young people should do more work, just cracked me up."

"Damn, that sounds just like those old folks at my workplace, shameless!"

"Yeah, the words I hate hearing the most, why should young people work more, did young people eat your family's rice?"

"But in this case, Li Xiaopeng saying young people should do more work, throwing the photographer off his game, is truly funny."

"Comedy effect maxed out, watching the photographer almost kneel was killing me with laughter."

"The photographer is still so young...."

Seeing the lively chat, the photographer's somewhat overwhelmed heart felt a bit better.

Even though he looked distressed, he was just carrying a bag for a bit.

The photographer, being an experienced live streaming veteran, didn't show any joy, instead deliberately pulling a face of exaggerated grief and bitterness.

The audience loved it; the more they saw his expression, the funnier they found it.

Amidst all the laughter and banter.

Lin Yang and the others had already reached the center of Cha Gan Lake.

No other anglers were around; it was just their team, and there was even some shallow snow remaining on the ice.

Clearly, it had snowed here before, but because of the low temperature and sparse human presence, some snow still remained.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Lin Yang felt refreshed and invigorated.

The photographer took off the backpack, placed it on the ground, and took a deep breath, then picked up his phone to slowly capture a panoramic view of the surroundings.

"Alright, folks, take a look at the scenery around. We've got this whole blank area to ourselves!!"

In the live feed, except for Lin Yang and the others, there was hardly anyone else visible on the vast lake surface.

Only in the distance, near the shore, were those who had already settled down to fish.

As the photographer said, they truly had this part of the lake to themselves.

This scenery made many netizens feel delighted and fascinated.

Especially those from the South.

"Wow, wow, wow, what a beautiful ice surface, so vast, it's like the ocean!"

"The ocean doesn't have an ice surface like this. It never gets this calm, it's like a giant mirror!"

"It's so spectacular, so beautiful!!"

"As someone from the South, I'm envious. I've never seen anything like this!"

"It's beautiful, but I can imagine how cold it must be here to create ice so thick."

"No, as a Northerner, you Southerners can't even imagine! The cold in the North is beyond the reach of Southern imagination!"

"I'm from the Northeast, and I often hear Southerners talking about how cold it is in winter without heating, but only after visiting the South did I realize they don't truly understand what cold means."

"Can you imagine the feeling of urine freezing into ice before it hits the ground?"

"Many Southerners have never even seen ice, except for the kind in a refrigerator."

"Indeed, this scenery is beautiful to look at, but outdoors, especially on the ice surface, it's absolutely freezing!"

"It feels somewhat okay when other anglers are gathered together, but Lin Yang and his group are alone in this desolate place, and just thinking about it gives me chills."

The audience marveled at the beauty of Cha Gan Lake while lamenting the cold weather.

For a moment, many audience members felt a bit sorry for Lin Yang and the other competitors.

These anglers really have it tough, having been competing in the South and then suddenly landing in the coldest part of the North, and during winter no less.

The temperature difference is too drastic, especially for those who are originally from the South; they simply can't adapt.

"This temperature is just too low, and in the ice and snow, it's hard even for me, a native of the Northeast, to withstand long exposure outdoors."

"I noticed some competitors ahead had already started fishing, and several of them were shivering and their faces had turned blue. Competing in fishing like this is truly difficult."

"Lin Yang and his group are also about to start fishing; they're likely to be shivering from the cold too!"

....

Amidst the murmurs of the audience, Lin Yang and the other two started unzipping their backpacks to prepare for fishing.

First.

Lin Yang retrieved a long iron stake from Li Xiaopeng's backpack and struck the ice surface a few times.

With these few taps, he roughly determined an area, enclosing a small oval shape on the ice surface.

Everyone was curious, not knowing what he was up to.

"He drew a circle, what's that mean? Is he summoning a school of fish?"

"So strange, other competitors are directly drilling holes into the ice, but Master Lin is the only one doing it differently."

"Could it be his judgment that the area within the circle is where the school of fish is, so he's planning to drill the fishing hole there?"

"It's possible! Master Lin's judgments about fish schools and fishing spots are always very accurate."

Everyone was speculating.

Immediately after, Lin Yang's actions left everyone dumbfounded.

Because he opened his backpack and took out something huge.

As soon as this thing appeared, the livestream chat was in an uproar, filled with chaotic comments.

"Wow, what is that? That thing is huge, it's not for fishing, is it?"

"Looks like it's made of canvas, could it be a fishing net?"

"Is your fishing net made of canvas? This material is great for waterproofing and windproofing, it couldn't be used for a fishing net."

"Wait a minute, waterproof and windproof? Could it be a tent!"

"Wow, no way, this is a competition and Master Lin actually brought a tent??"

"No kidding, it really does look more and more like a tent...."

Soon, Lin Yang unfolded the item he was holding, and sure enough, as some fishing enthusiasts guessed, it was a giant tent.

And once the tent was spread out, everyone was even more stunned.

Because the opened tent was exactly the same size as the circle he had drawn on the ice earlier, fitting perfectly.

Only then did everyone understand that Lin Yang's mysterious circle drawing had nothing to do with fishing, but was instead to figure out the size of the tent and mark the spot for setting it up.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the tent was pitched, right in the circle he had drawn, with no deviation at all.

Next, his actions left everyone even more astonished and speechless.

Because Lin Yang took out another item from his bag, a gas stove!

After setting up the tent, Lin Yang pulled out a gas stove from his bag, and he calmly set it up, checked that it was working fine, then tossed it to the cameraman.

"Young man, do a little work and start the fire."

The cameraman was a bit dumbfounded, but reflexively caught the gas stove, along with a lighter.
