If you need design and construction, just tell the old man. You girls don’t know much about these things. We’ll find some reliable people to help you install and debug the equipment, and also renovate the media room!
Li Ziyu’s efficiency is impressive; with just one phone call, he got Wo Liao delivered to them, and even managed to sneak out the shrimp that Shi Tian had hidden away—shrimp that they had never heard Shi Tian mention before. This shows how important it is to maintain a good relationship with Li Ziyu.
Really? Does Kong Grandpa know about renovations? We don’t need design work since we’ve already got that sorted out; we were just worried about where to find someone for the construction! Naturally, Li Ziyu wouldn’t refuse a free renovation crew.
After coordinating with Old Kong about the construction team, Li Ziyu watched as the four old men started casting their rods. He didn’t rush off but instead squatted down to watch them fish, occasionally checking his phone. He needed to keep the four old men occupied.
After feeding them for several days, the shrimp Shi Tian raised in this tank had clearly improved quite a bit. There weren’t many people fishing here, and the fish weren’t exactly plentiful—definitely not as good as at the shop entrance.
However, because there were fewer people around, the fish here were noticeably larger.
Yi Laotou was the first to catch something. The rod bent sharply; if it weren’t for watching the slow release of line from Wheel, Yi Laotou would have thought he was snagged on the bottom.
A slow release of line doesn’t necessarily mean a small fish. After tightening the drag a couple of notches, there was still no change in speed, so Yi Laotou had to treat it carefully.
“Yi Grandpa has a big one!” he exclaimed excitedly, clapping his hands. Li Ziyu glanced at the other three old men; this time it was secure.
With such a large fish, it would take at least ten or fifteen minutes to reel it in. Once the fish was on board, their half-hour agreement would definitely hold.
But he couldn’t wait for the fish to be reeled in; he needed to sneak away quietly beforehand. If they pulled in the fish and decided to pack up, that wouldn’t be good. Taking advantage of the distraction caused by Yi Laotou’s catch, Li Ziyu quietly set an alarm.
“Old Yi, do you need help? I can take over for a bit,” Old Liu said as he noticed Yi Laotou struggling for several minutes while still letting line out.
“Just take a break! When I get this fish in, help me net it!” Yi Laotou replied, holding onto his rod tightly. He couldn’t tighten the drag any further without risking breaking his line.
It was strong but slow; most likely a Stonefish and a big one at that. “Old Yi, you’re about to break your record!” he casually remarked. However, Old Wen and Old Kong showed no intention of helping; they remained focused on their own floats.
Shi Tian’s shrimp are effective! It hasn’t been long since they started fishing, and already they’re catching big Shi Ban! Since Yi Laotou could catch fish, surely they could too. In terms of skill, they were no worse than Yi Laotou.
Fishing relies seventy percent on resources and thirty percent on skill; this saying holds some truth among fishermen below master level.
Some classify fishermen scientifically into tiers. The first tier is hand-level fishermen; this group is quite small—at most ten percent.
These fishermen have a special aura that attracts attention from both seasoned fishing buddies and fish alike!
Once they start fishing and learn various techniques, they move up to higher tiers.
Seeing others catch big fish with long rods prompts them to buy long rods too. If they lose line while fishing for big fish, they switch brands of line. When they catch more fish, they get a fishing net; if they sit too long, they buy a fishing box. They can’t skimp on bait or equipment—whether useful or not—because if they don’t catch anything, it must be due to inadequate gear rather than skill.
Once equipped properly, they enter into an advanced tier where they study various fish habits and adjust their gear combinations accordingly. Once these aspects are understood well enough, they officially reach expert status.
Shi Tian loves these two tiers most; their motto is “buy buy buy.” As long as their gear is complete and used correctly while understanding meteorological conditions in water bodies, they can enter into true expert territory.
After experts come masters—a level requiring experience and accumulation. In any given location, by sensing the weather and observing the water conditions, they can quickly identify the most suitable fishing spot for targeting specific fish. Achieving such a level is exceedingly rare.
As for the final layer of legends, there are only a handful in the entire country. They have reached a state where they hold a rod in their hearts even without one in hand. They possess the mindset of having fish on the line while feeling no fish in their hearts!
The requirements for equipment in the last three layers are even more professional. They do not buy in quantity, but rather in quality. They may not be excessively wealthy, but they never skimp on Fishing Gear. As long as the performance is good, they wouldn’t hesitate to save up for months to add a single piece of equipment, not batting an eye.
After about ten minutes, a phone rang, and Li Ziyu stepped aside to pretend to answer it.
"Old man, you all keep fishing here; I have to head back to the shop!" He called out to a few elderly men before turning to retreat.
Returning to the base of the old men, he saw that September and Eleven had already gotten back into the car. He quickly removed the cardboard blocking the camera lens and hurriedly got into the vehicle to leave!
