CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 349 Fishing
The program only has a framework, not a detailed script.

Looking at Teacher He with his hands clasped together and a pleading expression, Lu Yiming didn't expect that they would get straight to the main event on the first morning.

This is the director's voice coming through Lu Yiming's in-ear monitor.

He immediately nodded slightly to indicate that there was no problem, and made the call right in front of the group.

That it's too unbelievable that we'll be there soon.

The team will be back before sunset this afternoon. The live demonstration will still be tomorrow, but the drone team that arrives will give a detailed introduction to the drone in the evening.

This is content that wasn't included in the program's framework.

Breakfast is over.

Several people sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.

The production team was quite selective in choosing the location; both the scenery and the air were naturally beautiful.

At this moment, Lu Yiming couldn't help but ask, "Don't I have to do any work? I saw on the show that the guests all have to do work, right?"

These words made Teacher He's eyes light up, and he was quite surprised to find that Lu Yiming had actually watched the show.

This prompted Peng Peng, who was standing nearby, to complain, "Teacher He, that's going too far! Our show's ratings are pretty good, okay? It's normal for President Lu to have watched it!"

The way they addressed him was constantly switching between "President Lu" and "Yiming," and they only called Lu Yiming "Yiming" when it was appropriate. This was a way of showing respect for his status, so as not to make the show seem offensive to his fans.

It can only be said that the production team really put a lot of effort into the preparation.

Face this.

Teacher He rolled his eyes at Peng Peng, feeling an awkwardness that his exaggerated act had been exposed. However, this awkwardness was very natural, and the more natural the awkwardness, the more fake it seemed. Lu Yiming couldn't see that.

However, it's clear that he has read a lot of books, which is considered a source of humor by the audience.

At this point, Lu Yiming's understanding of variety shows was still at the level of cognition, but this experience made him feel that his cognition had been refreshed.

At this time.

Teacher Huang looked up at the sky, then turned to Lu Yiming and smiled, "Yiming, do you like fishing? Why don't you go fishing for a while this morning?"

How could we possibly let Lu Yiming do the work!
He doesn't need to establish any persona in front of the camera, nor is he someone they can order around at will. Let alone doing any work, he has to think about what special dishes to cook to entertain Lu Yiming today, so that there won't be any more food poisoning incidents.

Lu Yiming was very interested when he heard about fishing.

The production team was quite resourceful; they immediately found him a fishing boat and had the purchasing department prepare the best equipment.

However, the so-called "best" is only mid-range equipment.

But who needs too much equipment to go fishing?
Isn’t it enough to have hands?

The fishing boat wasn't very big; it was probably over seven meters long, but the deck was only about three meters long. Normally, it would be more than enough for six people, but with the film crew and lifeguards, there wasn't enough space.

Therefore, the production team found a second boat, which was used by Teacher Huang and Teacher He.

After the four people boarded the boat.

Peng Peng looked at Lu Yiming and asked, "Brother Yiming! Do you often go fishing?"

Hearing this, Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "Not often~ I've only gone out to sea fishing a few times!"

Go fishing at sea?

This excited Pengpeng.

He immediately asked, "Do you charter a boat for a sea trip? How's the catch?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming recalled...

He then said, "The catch doesn't seem to be very good. Anyway, I came back empty-handed from trolling. I originally wanted to go trolling again, but I haven't had a suitable time."

Peng Peng was hinted at by the director and was trying to get Lu Yiming to reveal that he owned a yacht.

However, Lu Yiming doesn't really like flaunting his wealth, or rather, he can no longer get dopamine satisfaction from such low-level entertainment.

The fishing boat was probably modified, and it was very different from a yacht, especially in that it was extremely noisy. However, the good thing was that you only needed to go to the middle of the river.

The Yuanjiang River is a first-level tributary of the Yangtze River, and some of its waters are no-fishing zones. Fortunately, the production team had already inquired and confirmed that the area in front of the Mushroom House was not a no-fishing zone.

Arrive at the center of the river.

After the boat came to a stop, Lu Yiming began to prepare for fishing.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare. The meticulous production team had already prepared everything, even the groundbait and bait.

All Lu Yiming had to do was set up a stool, sit down on the side of the boat, and pick a fishing hook to start fishing.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang's boat was moored about ten meters away.

At this moment, Teacher He shouted to them, "Hey~~ Can you hear me? Teacher Huang said we'll split into two teams for a competition! The losing team will have to be punished!"

This news reached them.

The three looked at Lu Yiming, who said, "Let's ask what the punishment is first!"

The words fell.

Lay immediately responded to Teacher He.

Soon the details of the punishment came through: the contest would last two hours, and whoever caught the most fish would have to perform a talent show that evening, with no restrictions on the type of talent, such as singing, dancing, or reciting poetry.

At this moment, the three of them turned their gaze to Lu Yiming, who had already sat down and was ready to fish.

Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "Let's take it! Four against two! The advantage is on our side!"

Come here.

Lu Yiming also chose to relax and treat it as a vacation, and he didn't even consider the possibility of losing.

While the three of them were still picking up their fishing rods, Lu Yiming had already cast his first line, but he didn't put any bait on it; the purpose of this cast was simply to test the bottom.

My younger sister doesn't know how to fish, so Pengpeng patiently teaches her. However, he's only a novice himself, and while he can't teach her well, he also learns to fish himself.

As for Yixing, he wasn't much better off, but he knew he could ask someone. Lu Yiming was focused on fishing, so he naturally wouldn't bother him. The staff behind him became their targets.

"Oh wow~ Here's our first fish!"

The voice came from Mr. He in the distance. Mr. Huang had a faint smile on his face. Naturally, he was the one who caught the first fish.

However, the fish was not big, only about the size of a palm.

The joy of fishing lies in reaping the rewards of nature, an experience rarely found in the city. It's a hunting feedback mechanism inherent in our DNA, with dopamine being naturally released when a fish is caught.

Seeing that Teacher He had already caught a fish, the three of them quickened their pace. At this moment, Lu Yiming changed to a suitable hook and line, baited the hook, and cast his first real cast of the day.

As the fish enters the water, it splashes and creates ripples. With the help of the weight of the sinker, the hook sinks quickly to the bottom. The bait on the hook also gradually dissolves into a mist after encountering water.

When the boat stopped at this spot on the water, Lu Yiming had already thrown the bait into the water. The production team had gone to great lengths, preparing two large buckets of bait, each weighing at least ten kilograms, in case Lu Yiming couldn't catch any fish.

After sinking to the bottom, the float quickly rose to the surface. Lu Yiming adjusted it based on the detected depth. If his technique was correct, the hook should be only about 30 centimeters from the bottom.

This spot is great for catching big fish. Of course.

The game is still about skill and luck, but the skill requirements aren't actually that high; luck is more important than skill.

Lu Yiming has no shortage of luck right now, and the Heavenly Favor LV2 will bring him plenty of good fortune.

This is not~
Just a few seconds after the float surfaced, it quickly submerged again. At that moment, Lu Yiming's expression froze, and he reacted swiftly.

Wow! Brother Yiming caught a fish!

The younger sister noticed what was happening to Lu Yiming and immediately exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.

At this moment, Lu Yiming had already stood up, with the end of the fishing rod tucked under his arm. The front section of the 7.2-meter fishing rod had a very large arc, and the fishing line and the water surface formed a straight line.

Teacher Huang watched this scene from a distance.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "They've caught a big fish!"

Frequent anglers can roughly estimate the weight range of a fish by the degree of bending of the fishing rod after it is hooked. Of course, the error is very large, as many fish that look small are surprisingly strong.

Judging from the arc of the 7.2-meter fishing rod in Lu Yiming's hand, it's basically impossible to catch fish weighing less than five kilograms.

However, Lu Yiming had a different idea. Judging from the current strength of the fishing rod, it should weigh at least ten kilograms.

While Peng Peng was still yelling in surprise, Yi Xing had already picked up the net. However, Lu Yiming looked at the size of the net and shouted, "It's too small! Get a bigger one!"

big?

The landing net was provided by the production team, and only one was prepared. Fortunately, the crew members were also watching from the cockpit during the filming of the program. Seeing this, one of the crew members brought over a landing net that was twice the size of the one that Yixing was holding.

This landing net pole is made of steel pipe, and the handle is wrapped with anti-slip tape. The landing net, which is made entirely of metal, weighs at least ten kilograms. Being able to own such a landing net means that the owner is undoubtedly a fishing enthusiast.

They walked for a full eight minutes.

Feeling the fish's struggles lessen, Lu Yiming began reeling in the line, marking the start of a new round of pulling.

Three minutes later.

Lu Yiming finally pulled the fish to the surface, at which point the captain in the cockpit exclaimed, "Holy crap! Is this thing even that big?"

The captain wore polarized sunglasses, so he could see the fish's shape and size in front of everyone.

At this point, everyone on the deck could see the fish. Yixing took the net and seized the opportunity to scoop it up. With Pengpeng's help, the two of them worked together to scoop the fish that had taken Lu Yiming more than ten minutes of effort out of the water.

At this time.

Teacher He and Teacher Huang came over in a kayak.

The main reason was that Lu Yiming's action of reeling in the fish was quite commotion, and they wanted to see what kind of big fish he had caught.

With the help of the staff, they boarded the ship.

Just then, Pengpeng saw the two of them and called out, "Teacher He! Teacher Huang! Come over here! Brother Yiming caught such a big fish!"

It's actually not that big.

It's only about half a meter long and weighs a little over ten pounds, but we still need to make it look good for the show. Lu Yiming went through so much trouble to fish it up, and if there's no reaction at all, then he's just being clueless.

The two walked quickly upon hearing the sound, though it was only a few steps. Just then, they saw someone brushing past them – it was Yixing himself.

For someone who is afraid of fish, it's already quite an achievement that he didn't spoil Lu Yiming's fun.

Just take this time using a landing net to catch fish, it was already the limit that Yixing could accept. The moment the fish was caught, he got goosebumps all over his body. At this point, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and chose to escape.

He apologized to Lu Yiming before leaving.

Peng Peng, suppressing a laugh, looked at Lu Yiming's bewildered expression and said, "Yixing is afraid of fish! Extremely afraid of them!"

Afraid of fish?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's expression turned strange.

He then said, "Alright! I don't understand, but I respect it!"

These words made Pengpeng and his sister burst out laughing.

At this moment, Teacher He and Teacher Huang had already walked up to the three of them.

Teacher He exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the fish in the net on the ground, "Wow! It's so big! We can stew it for lunch!"

Speaking of tuna.

Teacher He looked at Teacher Huang beside him.

His expression was unusually serious. Just as Teacher He was wondering why he had this expression, Teacher Huang squatted down in front of the net and examined it carefully.

He then looked at the group and said, "There's a problem! I don't recognize this fish! Quickly check if it's a protected species!"

There is one issue to be aware of when fishing in a tributary of the Yangtze River.

That is, the fish here are plentiful, but also because there are many no-fishing zones, there are many protected fish species that are prohibited from being killed by fishing.

I'm not afraid of catching no fish, I'm afraid of catching a fish I don't recognize.

at the same time.

The director, watching this scene from the monitoring room on the shore, immediately contacted the cameraman to point the camera at the fish on the ground, and at the same time took out his phone to find a contact on WeChat and made a video call.

The moment the connection was established.

He hurriedly said, "Hello! Could you please help me check if this fish is a protected animal? It was accidentally caught by a guest on the show."

He emphasized the word "unexpected".

If the fish is indeed a protected animal, this accident could help Lu Yiming get out of trouble.

The local authorities were very welcoming to the filming of the program. Fishing was already part of the plan, so it was necessary to communicate with the fisheries department. The person he contacted was an expert introduced by the local fisheries department.

At this moment, director Xu Wei switched the camera to the rear camera, and the footage was of the monitor in front of him. In the video, the expert, who was over fifty years old, was taken aback.

He then put on his glasses and took a closer look.

He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Yangtze River shad? No! Wild Yangtze River shad! Such a big one! Was it just caught? Where was it caught?"

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Wei's heart sank.

He immediately asked, "Um...this fish looks like it's dying! This is for protecting fish, right? I need to have the guest put it back in the water to avoid causing them any trouble!"

The expert nodded upon hearing this.

He immediately said, "If you are fishing in waters that are not prohibited from fishing, and you are using a fishing rod that complies with regulations, you will not be held responsible for any accidental injury or death to protected fish. However, if you do not recognize the fish caught in the Yangtze River, releasing them is the best option."

After the science popularization session, the expert added, "By the way! Could you please send me the location of the release? The reappearance of wild Yangtze shad in the Yangtze River is a very significant discovery!"
