54: Huge commotion! Bro, what did you do?
After the river channel was inspected by technical personnel using instruments.
The entire river water was murky, stirring up a lot of silt.
There was also a significant amount of trash and plastic bottles.
Xu Tianlong, Captain Liu of the Ice Candy Task Force, and many other police department heads.
Watched helplessly as Su Yun and Officer Hong sat down again.
The river water had been completely muddied; it would be a miracle if they could catch anything!
Only Old Hong cared about Su Yun.
His main goal was simply to keep him company.
"Old Hong, Brother Su Yun, we're heading back first!"
Led by Xu Tianlong.
Aside from Officer Hong, most of the other police department heads and captains left.
— — [Eh? Are they in such a hurry to leave? Aren't they going to wait a little longer?]
— — [There's nothing good to wait for, right? Even if Su Yun is uncanny, he's only uncanny once a day...]
— — [The river channel has been inspected by technical personnel, and there are no issues. Now, besides catching fish, there's nothing else left to catch!]
— — [After all that commotion just now, it would be good enough if they could even catch a fish. What else are they hoping for?]
This was exactly what several captains and directors were thinking.
Grenades and bombs were caught by Su Yun, and then that kid dealt with them alone... They didn't manage to get any credit.
If they hurried back now, perhaps Bureau Chief Chen would assign them something to do... And so, they left.
Only Officer Hong, Su Yun, and Wang Fan remained by the riverbank.
A new fishing rod was pulled out, and they continued fishing.
"Brother Su Yun."
"Let's agree on something first: don't blame me if we don't catch anything."
"My fishing skill isn't great..."
Officer Hong said with a wry smile.
Su Yun nodded: "I understand."
"It's mostly my fault, too. Who would have thought that while fishing normally, I'd hook a sack of bombs?"
And it was his first time fishing, too.
Everyone talks about 'newbie luck' and 'newbie protection period.'
Regardless of what species others catch on their first time fishing, at least their catches are related to fish.
What on earth did he catch... "Officer Hong."
"The way I see it, we probably won't catch any fish."
"Why don't we try fishing for loaches instead!"
Loaches?
That's not impossible... If they prepared the bait well, they could fish for them.
Since the river channel had been thoroughly turned over by technical personnel during the inspection.
Some loaches might crawl out of the mud and their holes... Thinking this way.
The three men, Su Yun, searched online for how to prepare bait for loaches.
After some mixing.
They baited the hook and cast it out... Officer Hong sat calmly by the riverbank, his posture relaxed and peaceful.
At this moment, in the livestream room.
The bullet screen comments were no longer as explosive as before.
However, many people still stayed, just to see the size of the loaches caught.
— — [Loaches are not easy to catch.]
— — [Those things like to burrow. As long as there is mud, they like to stay inside the mud...]
— — [Of course, loaches are creatures associated with the character 'huang' (yellow/pornographic).]
— — [This... I suspect you guys are making dirty jokes, but I have no proof.]
— — [Usually, when my toilet is clogged, I throw a few big loaches into it.]
— — [How vicious!]
... The process of fishing for loaches was extremely tedious.
The bait was continuously eaten, but the float showed no movement.
Officer Hong baited the hook again, when a strong urge to urinate struck him.
"Brother Su Yun, here, you take this rod."
"I need to go relieve myself."
Su Yun took the fishing rod.
He cast the rod, directly whipping it out... Because it was meant for loaches, the bait and hook setup were somewhat specialized.
Da da da... Right at this moment.
Photographer Wang Fan, who was idle.
Picked up a complete fishing net from the nearby riverbank.
He smiled and said, "Bro! How can fishing be as convenient as casting a net!"
"Look, this net is even specially made..."
"It's super sturdy!"
It must be said that this guy was quite good at finding things.
Su Yun inspected the fishing net.
It was a specialized cast net... extremely strong, and the mesh size was just right.
"Don't rush, wait until I finish this cast."
"If there are no fish, we'll just use the cast net..."
Su Yun had come to terms with reality, defeated by the Wild River.
The fish that could survive in the Wild River.
Were strong and smart... Splash!
As he spoke, the float on the water began to sink rapidly.
The fishing line tightened!
It's hooked!
Judging by the strain, it must be a decent loach!
"Bro! Go for it!"
"Today I want to eat shredded loach noodle soup!"
"I'm going to eat the loach like noodles!"
Seeing the float move, Wang Fan excitedly cheered him on.
Hey?
This loach is really trying hard to burrow into the water?
It was pulling hard; the loach was dragging the float downward.
If he pulled too hard, the line would break, so Su Yun kept maneuvering... Eh? Why is it still burrowing deeper?
"Bro, pull it out... Use some force..."
Wang Fan urged, and Su Yun began to exert force.
Click... It felt like the hook was snagged on something.
He couldn't pull it... "Wang Fan, you take over, hold the rod."
"I'll go down and take a look..."
He finally managed to hook something today.
No matter what, Su Yun had to eat this catch.
As his voice fell.
Su Yun took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined, chiseled eight-pack abs.
Then, with a "plop," he dove headfirst into the murky river water.
— — [Abs! They really are abs!]
— — [Streamer, if you do that, people are going to get excited...]
— — [The Streamer has abs? Eight of them?]
— — [Hmph... Eight packs are for amateurs, I have nine! Nine returns to one!]
— — [Seriously, Brother Su Yun is fierce. There's no one else who would do this just to eat a fish...]
— — [Just for that jump, excuse me everyone, I've turned from an anti-fan to a regular fan!]
— — [Very handsome! If your thoughts are the same as mine, then all I can say is, that's too cool!]
... In the livestream screen.
Su Yun plunged into the river water.
The water quality was too murky to see what was happening below.
Su Yun could only follow the fishing line, feeling his way down... Suddenly.
He felt something hard and shaped like a pipe opening.
He felt around for the size; it was roughly as large as a bowl's opening... The loach must have burrowed inside here, right?
Quite clever... After locating the position, Su Yun surfaced to catch his breath.
He instructed: "Little Wang, hold the fishing rod tight and don't move."
"This loach is quite big; it burrowed into some kind of pipe."
"Wait for me to move this pipe, and then you watch the situation and pull up hard..."
"Okay!"
Wang Fan focused intently.
He was going all out for a bite of loach meat!
Gurgle gurgle... Su Yun plunged into the river water again.
He stretched his arms and legs.
Nothing could stop him from eating this loach noodle dish.
It was time for him to show off his skills.
Holding his breath.
He wrapped both arms around the iron pipe opening... using five parts of his strength.
Hey? It didn't budge... It's quite heavy?
Su Yun started taking it seriously.
He knew that his physique and strength had been modified by the system.
One punch could reach thousands of kilograms, far surpassing the boxing champion Tyson.
Damn it, no more wasting time... Ten parts of his strength.
Gritting his teeth, Su Yun began to pull the iron pipe opening outwards.
Rumble! Gurgle gurgle... At the same time.
On the river surface, bubbles churned, and the water grew even murkier.
Plop plop, surrounding fish and loaches seemed intensely stimulated and began thrashing towards the surface.
As the commotion on the river surface grew louder... an iron pipe opening the size of a trash can lid first broke the surface... Wang Fan trembled all over.
A look of exasperation crossed his face.
"Bro... What on earth did you drag up!?"
