29: My legs are so tired from showering.

Strong Hand Cracks Skull couldn't help but shout, "No way, Brother Wo Zi, this is too serious. If you're like this, then I'm in an invincible position."

He wasn't complaining for himself, but for Intentional Punch. He had originally thought they were only comparing the weight of a single fish, but if all four conditions had to be met, then he would be invincible.

Gao Xiaofan didn't speak, but Intentional Punch's muffled voice came through.

"A bet should naturally be taken seriously. Just wait to dye your hair."

The two people watching the drama in the back were whispering to each other.

Hu Bu Shi Lang: "So far, we've only caught Grass Carp and Bream. Currently, Brother Quan has caught White Striped Fish, Crucian Carp, and Blunt-snouted bream. Little Brother Skull is in danger!"

Zhang Dali looked curious: "Really? But there are still three conditions left to fulfill."

Hu Bu Shi Lang couldn't help but look at Gao Xiaofan in front of him. He really didn't know if it was his doing; after all, this was just too metaphysical.

He glanced back at Zhang Dali and whispered.

"In a reservoir this big, do you know what's inside? Even corpses can be fished out. It's not impossible for a thirty-pound big Grass Carp to show up later."

"Calculate it again, how many conditions have been met?"

Zhang Dali was stunned after hearing this and couldn't help but exclaim, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Just as he finished speaking, he saw that Hu Bu Shi Lang was ignoring him and was instead staring at Intentional Punch in front of them.

Zhang Dali followed his gaze and saw Intentional Punch holding the rods with an excited expression.

"Find a way to stand it up." Gao Xiaofan frowned as he watched the scene and couldn't help but speak up.

Just a moment ago, the float had submerged completely, yet Intentional Punch was still violently lifting the rod. It was simple, crude, and direct, but this time no flying fish appeared; even the tip of the rod hadn't been lifted out of the water.

Strong Hand Cracks Skull also crowded around, shouting continuously.

"Stand it up, holy crap, stand it up quickly!"

Everyone had gathered because of Gao Xiaofan. Although they had a bet, it was just friends messing around; no one would actually get worked up over it. Now, seeing Intentional Punch hook a big fish, Strong Hand Cracks Skull was more concerned than anyone, fearing the rod would snap or the fish would escape.

Gao Xiaofan frowned for a moment before relaxing. A product of the system was truly terrifying.

Normally, if the rod tip can't even be lifted out of the water, it's a hundred percent chance of a 'tug-of-war' snap.

Yet now, after nearly twenty seconds, Intentional Punch was still steadily holding the fishing rod. This was the unscientific part.

Veins bulged on Intentional Punch's arms, his teeth were clenched, and he was squatting on the ground, pulling upward with all his might.

The rod tip slowly rose, and the rod finally stood upright.

The surrounding crowd, however, had expressions of shock on their faces.

The rod didn't snap just now? Even if it didn't snap, the fish didn't pull away and escape? This is unscientific!!!

It wasn't until the fish was pulled to the surface for the first time, the splashing sound of its struggle temporarily clearing their chaotic thoughts.

"A Fat Head???"

A series of question marks appeared in everyone's minds.

Using corn to fish for Fat Head??? It was possible, but the probability of such a thing happening was incredibly slim.

'Fat Head' was the local name; the academic name was Bighead Carp. Its meat was tender and succulent, and the head, in particular, was a favorite of gourmets.

Gao Xiaofan now knew that this bet was likely settled. Even something like catching a Bighead Carp with corn could be arranged by the system.

He just wanted the system to be a bit more reliable and stop creating strange situations, or else he didn't know how others would look at him.

Feeling a vibration from his pocket, Gao Xiaofan quietly stepped out of the crowd and took out his phone to check.

It was a WeChat call from Zhao Yuling.

Could it be? Was he selected?

Gao Xiaofan sprinted up the slope in excitement, sat in the car, and answered the call.

Before he could speak, Zhao Yuling's excited voice came through the phone.

"You passed!!! You passed! Brother Fan, you've been selected."

Gao Xiaofan also became excited. Although he had guessed as much, hearing it from Zhao Yuling still caused a surge of exhilaration.

Rubbing his dizzy head, Gao Xiaofan expressed his gratitude.

"If you're free tonight, you can come over for dinner. We'll pick you up in advance."

"No need. Just send me the location when the time comes, and I'll take a taxi myself. You guys keep fishing."

"Okay, let's talk tonight then."

After hanging up, Gao Xiaofan clenched his fist and punched the air; even the car couldn't help but rock slightly.

Li Yuer noticed Intentional Punch had hooked a big fish and put down her rod to come over. However, she couldn't find Gao Xiaofan after looking around. Looking up, she thought she saw the car parked by the road shaking slightly, though she wasn't sure if it was an illusion.

Gao Xiaofan pushed the door open and got out, jogging all the way back. He was panting, his face flushed. The excitement had caused a rush of blood to his head, and the jog made him feel even dizzier, causing his footsteps to stumble.

Li Yuer, who had been watching, quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Are you okay?" Li Yuer asked in surprise.

She had just seen Gao Xiaofan get out of the car with a red face and thick neck, and then his legs went weak. Combined with the fact that she seemed to see the car shaking earlier, was this guy doing something bad in the car?

"Yeah, I'm fine." Gao Xiaofan flashed a smile.

However, this smile made Li Yuer's heart tremble.

Because she suddenly remembered her stockings were in the car, and her bag wasn't zipped. This guy couldn't have been in the car with her socks doing something perverted, could he?

With her preconceived notions, Li Yuer now saw Gao Xiaofan's smile as the perverse boasting of someone who had just committed a deviant act.

Gao Xiaofan didn't think that much and just approached the shore.

He arrived just in time as the landing net scooped up the Bighead Carp.

Intentional Punch, panting heavily, placed the rod on the rod pod and said breathlessly,

"The maximum single catch weight should be secured now too."

Strong Hand Cracks Skull quickly said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and rest, Brother Quan. No one works as hard as you."

It turned out that just moments ago, the Bighead Carp on the hook had made another charge. Intentional Punch refused to give an inch, standing firmly on the shore and holding his ground. He was almost pulled into the water; if Strong Hand Cracks Skull hadn't rushed up to grab him, he might have actually been pulled in.

Hu Bu Shi Lang looked at the numbers on the scale: "32 pounds."

The surrounding people took turns holding the fish for photos. Although they hadn't caught it themselves, it was rare to see such a large fish caught in the wild.

"Let's eat this tonight." Gao Xiaofan swallowed his saliva as he looked at the massive fish head.

Zhang Dali easily stuck his hand into the fish's mouth to measure it, smacking his lips.

"Let's go to my friend's place tonight. He opened a Farmhouse Restaurant. We can do some BBQ or something."

No one had any objections, and they then placed the fish into the keepnet. Meanwhile, Intentional Punch had already cast his line back into the water, his eyes seriously watching the float on the surface.

Only an hour had passed; there was still an hour until five o'clock.

Strong Hand Cracks Skull had completely given up; he was thoroughly convinced.

Li Yuer also stopped fishing. She brought over her fishing box to sit and watch the men brag, though she occasionally looked at Gao Xiaofan with a strange expression.
