150: Third team member

"Me???"

"Uh-huh~"

In his excitement, Qiu Gu tore the takeout packaging bag apart.

"Are you kidding me? If I participate, I'll definitely be holding you back!"

When Gao Xiaofan was sleeping in the afternoon, Qiu Gu had also studied the rules of the Kings Battle. He naturally understood that a team could have three people. He was still wondering where Gao Xiaofan was going to recruit teammates from, but he never expected Gao Xiaofan to set his sights on him.

Gao Xiaofan smiled, moved the lunch box over, found some chopsticks, and bit them open with his mouth.

"You'll be the one netting the fish. Don't worry, you don't need to fish!"

Qiu Gu breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again. He had only netted a fish once in his entire life. Would this work?

"Wait, isn't it a waste of a slot to have three people? Isn't it too wasteful to have someone dedicated just to netting fish?"

Gao Xiaofan shoveled a mouthful of rice and said casually.

"What else can I do if I can't find teammates? Besides, in a three-person team, this combination is definitely the most beneficial. Once the fish start biting like crazy, it's inevitable for one person to handle logistics, and it's very hard work!"

"Alright, let's eat first. We can talk while we eat. You're always making such a fuss~"

Qiu Gu pursed his lips, then picked up a lunch box and started eating.

"Then what about the other teammate?"

Gao Xiaofan shook his head and didn't speak... At seven o'clock in the evening, all the lights in the room were turned on. Qiu Gu held the Gimbal, pointing the lens at Gao Xiaofan.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gao Xiaofan, also known as Brother Wo Zi~"

Gao Xiaofan said to the camera with a smile. He stood straight, his right hand in his pocket and his left hand hanging down. In the lens, he looked no different from an ordinary person.

The video was only a minute long, but its content left Qiu Gu completely stunned. Qiu Gu handed the phone back with a numb expression.

It was nothing; he was used to it. After all, he was the one who had overthought it!

He should have known from the first day he followed him that he was going to be Creating Hype~

Gao Xiaofan took the phone and watched it once with satisfaction!

"It has to be like this. Why be a coward? Let's crush these old fogies~"

Just as Gao Xiaofan was about to post the video, a WeChat call came in. When he saw who it was, his expression couldn't help but turn a bit strange.

Li Yuer~

What was she looking for him for? Had the fans caused more trouble? She had been comforting him in the group this morning, so why was she suddenly calling him now?

"Hello, Sister Yuer~"

"Hehe, have you eaten?" Li Yuer's voice came through the phone.

Perhaps it was because they were familiar with each other, or perhaps because too much had been exposed before—like those study materials—their communication was very relaxed.

Having already experienced social death, he had naturally given up on his image since then~

"Stop giggling, you sound like a dweeb. Tell me, what's up?"

Gao Xiaofan put the phone on the table and wiped his face with his right hand. He couldn't help it; the Fish Fed Full persona from the livestream room for so long was hard to switch out of all at once.

Plus, that 'hehe' from Li Yuer always seemed to reveal a hint of wretchedness.

A female dweeb... Such a beautiful mature woman, alas, what a waste.

"Ahem, Brother Fan~ Are you going to the Kings Battle?"

Li Yuer suddenly spoke in a coquettish voice over the phone. Gao Xiaofan couldn't help but shudder. Beside him, Qiu Gu looked over with a mischievous grin.

"I should be going. What exactly is the matter? Just spit it out!"

Gao Xiaofan lit a cigarette, sounding impatient~

"Why so mean? I want to compete with you, is that okay?"

By the end, her voice grew smaller and smaller. Perhaps Li Yuer herself felt that this request was a bit much.

Qiu Gu's expression turned strange upon hearing this, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

Gao Xiaofan's head felt like it was exploding when he heard this. He quickly said,

"Wait, what do you mean you want to compete with me? You don't like me, do you? I'm telling you, it's impossible! There's no chance for us!"

"Oh my, I misspoke! I just want to participate in the competition!" Li Yuer also explained hurriedly, breathing a sigh of relief after saying it.

Gao Xiaofan also breathed a sigh of relief~

Compete if you want to compete, but saying you want to compete 'with me'... if Zhao Yuling found out, hiss~

Hmm? Competing? Li Yuer's fishing skills were indeed quite good. Last time at Tongzhen Reservoir, if Gao Xiaofan hadn't used a title, she would have been the one to sweep the pond.

But why did she suddenly think of competing?

"Aren't you an English teacher? You won't be able to keep up with the competition schedule~"

Gao Xiaofan picked up the cigarette that had slipped from his mouth in his haste, put it back in his mouth, lit it, and took a blissful puff.

"I resigned! If you don't take me, I'm planning to form my own team to compete!"

"Resigned???" Gao Xiaofan's face was full of question marks.

"Wait, I remember you had a permanent position, right? You quit???"

"Your big sister is super rich now! I've made hundreds of thousands just by editing videos for you every day~"

Beside him, Qiu Gu's face was full of question marks???

What the hell? Editing videos is that profitable???

"Oh, since you've made so much from me, aren't you going to give me some licensing fees?"

Gao Xiaofan said jokingly.

"Hehe, don't be so formal~ Do you need a teammate or not! If not, I'll go sign up by myself!"

Gao Xiaofan's head was spinning. You're the one applying for a job, not the one hiring. Why are you so arrogant!

"I do, I do, I do. Come on then!"

Gao Xiaofan said weakly.

"Good. Jiangcheng, right? I'll come find you guys. Send me the specific location later. That's settled then, bye-bye."

Li Yuer hung up after speaking. Gao Xiaofan and Qiu Gu looked at each other, speechless.

Gao Xiaofan rubbed his head, not knowing how to tell Zhao Yuling about this.

It was still early before the competition. Why was she in such a hurry to come over?

"Does this one like you too?" Qiu Gu asked cautiously, his eyes shining with the light of gossip.

"What are you thinking~" Gao Xiaofan sighed.

"Sigh, why do you care so much? Her father liked fishing, and then he passed away. As for her mother, I haven't heard her mention her, so I don't know the specifics."

"But Li Yuer is quite skilled at fishing~"

After saying that, he touched his chin as if he had suddenly realized something, and his fingers quickly tapped the tabletop.

"The team is finally complete. We need to hurry up and post the video. Post it, post it, post it~"

...At eight o'clock in the evening, at the peak of the storm's popularity, and under much anticipation, Brother Wo Zi's second video was released.

A challenge letter!

Everyone who finished watching the video was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

The videos posted by other fishing big shots still maintained a shred of decency, but Brother Wo Zi's video was a blatant challenge letter!!!

After Gao Xiaofan's second video, the popularity of this storm skyrocketed, completely reaching an unprecedented height!!!

Number one trending on TikTok! Number one trending on Kuaishou! Number one trending on Weibo!

"Hello everyone, I'm Gao Xiaofan, also known as Brother Wo Zi~"
