"Compare this Wheel with your Wheel and see what the difference is? How often do you encounter a hundred-pound Giant Fish? Just because the equipment was too poor, I couldn't reel it in. My thigh is regretting it, feeling bruised!"
As he spoke, Shi Tian glanced at Guan Chang Duan's thigh, which didn't seem swollen at all—just a bit red!
"Hey! Why isn't your thigh swollen? You’re not pulling my leg, are you? Was there really such a big fish?"
Before Shi Tian could finish his sentence, there was a loud smack as Guan Chang Duan slapped his thigh.
"Who says it isn't true! I'm so regretful! If only this lousy Rod had been sturdier, that fish would have definitely come up!"
Shi Tian could confirm that Guan Chang Duan's slap had been full force—no holding back. This Bro must have a physique that doesn't bruise easily! Maybe he had slapped it so much that he had developed calluses!
Feeling Shi Tian's enthusiasm, he didn't refuse. He picked up the Wheel and felt the Rod, which indeed had a nice grip. When he switched to his own Wheel, the difference in quality was evident!
"How much for the Rod and Wheel?" After some hesitation, Guan Chang Duan asked.
"The Rod is a hundred, and the Wheel is twelve hundred. It comes with a spare carbon ceramic bearing, line, and hooks. If you want something more professional, there are options starting from three thousand!"
The Wheel that Guan Chang Duan brought earlier wasn't cheap; it must have cost over two thousand.
Using a two-thousand-dollar Wheel on a shabby van definitely meant it was a fishing-specific vehicle.
With a dedicated fishing vehicle like that, he must be quite experienced. Such people might be stingy in other areas but would definitely splurge on their Fishing Gear. The set of Rod he just took out might not even meet his standards.
If he had no other choice, he might have settled for that set of Rod, but given another option, he could probably squeeze out five figures from him.
"More? No way! I don't have that much money! I just want this set! Throw in a few extra Jig, though; I've been using them up quickly lately—they keep getting snagged!"
Upon hearing that there were better options from Shi Tian, Guan Chang Duan quickly cut him off.
This kind of talk was tempting; even if Shi Tian kept it to himself, it would be hard to resist if he started making suggestions. Otherwise, he wouldn't sleep well tonight!
"Alright, I'll get you an unopened set from the Packaging. This one is a Sample!"
"No need; I just want this set of Sample! Just give me the line and the Jig! I'll rig it myself!"
Though Shi Tian offered a low price—only eighteen hundred for the rod and wheel—if he bought this set of Rod, it would be quite a bargain. However, he feared that Shi Tian might try to swap out inferior items under the guise of "unopened packaging."
With no choice but to shake his head in resignation, Shi Tian went to the shelf and grabbed a box of Jig, then retrieved two spools of line from under the counter. This was an ultra-sturdy rod; using bait required substantial investment as well.
As he assembled the rod with the wheel, Guan Chang Duan tossed the line into the shrimp tank. The Wheel spun rapidly as he quickly rigged up a Jig. After making payment via scan code, he left with an armful of gear!
Once he placed another set of Rod and Wheel back on the shelf, Shi Tian teased the cage containing Tang Tang: "Tang Tang, you're quite lucky! You just arrived yesterday and already brought in such big business. You definitely deserve two pieces of Cat Food!"
"Tang Tang: Meow!"
"Sister Lang, my legs are numb; let’s get down and walk for a bit!" Leaning against Sun Lang, Su Xueyi said softly.
Sun Lang noticeably slowed down on the bike, clearly tired. With an uphill stretch ahead, she decided to get off and walk alongside him for a bit, allowing him to rest.
Hearing that Su Xueyi wanted to stroll with him, Sun Lang felt delighted. The weather forecasts had been unreliable, predicting rain, yet half an hour had passed without a single cloud in sight. He resolved to uninstall the app when he got home and leave a bad review in the app store for its inaccuracy!
"Ah! There's a milk tea shop over there; let's go grab a cup!" He pedaled harder, noticeably increasing his speed, and soon stopped in front of the shop. Before Su Xueyi could dismount, Sun Lang had already ordered two cups of milk tea.
What should have been a journey of less than an hour turned into an hour and a half as Sun Lang leisurely escorted Su Xueyi to school. He watched her enter the dormitory, only to realize he hadn’t seen a drop of rain!
After leaving the campus, he hailed a taxi, tossed his bike into the trunk, and headed straight for the Fishing Tackle Shop. He needed to vent to Shi Tian about the crimes of those eight weather forecasts!
Sitting on a chair outside the shop, he ranted at Shi Tian while pointing at the weather forecast on his phone. To his surprise, Shi Tian seemed somewhat amused by it all.
"Aren't you always calling me a single dog? Serves you right!" When Sun Lang finally tired himself out from cursing, Shi Tian smiled and added, "Go grab me some cigarettes from the counter. Who knows? Maybe I can give you some tips to turn things around!"
With not much going on these days, it was a good opportunity for Sun Lang to take a trip back home. He needed to pay attention to Baiting Hook; however, since Su Xueyi was on break for a few days, he could wait until she was back at work before heading over to the dock to study Baiting Hook.
As soon as Sun Lang heard that Shi Tian could help him turn things around, he dashed into the shop and retrieved the cigarettes for Shi Tian, eagerly lighting one up for him. "Tian Ge, we’re brothers! You can’t just stand by and watch me drown!"
Shi Tian shot him a glance. "When you're throwing dog food around, I'm your boss; when you're in trouble, I'm just a rogue! Now that you need me, suddenly I’m your brother?"
"Su Xueyi sat on your bike until her legs went numb! Don’t you think you should upgrade her mode of transportation? Do you really want her to get soaked before you decide to drive her?"
