3: He was nicknamed "Wozi Ge"

He had streamed live before, but very few people watched, after all, he was just a fishing enthusiast with no reputation.

Although he streamed every time he went fishing, he rarely interacted with the audience; fishing was the main focus.

Of course, tonight was an exception, with a full 100,000 people crammed into his livestream room.

Soon, another small car arrived, and several people got out.

Listening to the Police Officers talking, the newcomers were likely Forensic Examiners.

While placing the body into a bag, they said,

"He was probably tangled in aquatic plants or something in the water, which is why he didn't surface."

"Then, as you said, that Young man's fishhook snagged him and pulled him up."

"I'll head off now. I'll give you the detailed report after examining it back at the station."

The Forensic Examiner gave a wave, took the body, and left. The Police Officers who had just arrived also walked over towards Gao Xiaofan.

"You're Gao Xiaofan, right? Pack up your things; we need to go back to the station to take a statement."

Gao Xiaofan, who had relaxed by now, was chatting with the live chat. He also turned the camera, switching to a front-facing view for the stream.

Hearing this, he was stunned. There were still a few minutes left until the mission time.

After holding out this long, he had to complete it, otherwise, wouldn't tonight's suffering be for nothing?

Even if he had to stall, he had to drag it out.

Having figured this out, Gao Xiaofan looked at the Police Officer and said with a shameless grin.

"Officer, can the statement be taken here?"

The Police Officer's face darkened. Was this guy a bit slow in the head?

"That's definitely not possible; it has to be done back at the station."

Glancing at the man's phone screen showing the livestream, though he didn't know the exact number, judging by the speed of the bullet comments, there must be many viewers.

The Police Officer continued.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick. You don't need to be afraid of anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man named Gao Xiaofan staring at him with a serious expression.

"I ain't going."

Immediately after, Gao Xiaofan added with that shameless grin again.

"Officer, actually, what I meant to say is, I put down a lot of bait spots for fishing today. If I leave now, all that bait will be wasted."

The officer was speechless.

The viewers in the livestream room instantly went wild.

Nickname: The One Below Who Doesn't Get Wet: "I'm freaking dying of laughter. I thought Brother Fan wasn't leaving to wait for the police, but nooo, it was for the bait spots."

"Salute to the Streamer. A proper Angler should be just like this. Following."

"Fishing next to a floating corpse... I can only say I'm impressed. Now he doesn't even want to leave, still wants to keep fishing. I can only say, damn, that's badass."

First-Class Competitive Fishing Master Yu Weibao: "After watching the stream, I realized I don't deserve to be called an Angler; I can only be called a fish feeder."

"Let the gifts roll in, salute to the Streamer."

Nickname: The One Below Who Doesn't Get Wet: "First time gifting. I only respect my Brother Fan."

A 'Carnival' gift appeared in the livestream room.

Gifts kept popping up in the livestream room one after another, unstoppable.

The Police Officer listened helplessly as Gao Xiaofan blabbered on and on, finally interrupting.

"Aren't you scared being here alone?"

At that moment, Gao Xiaofan, who was only thinking about stalling, blurted out.

"Anglers are never afraid of such things. We're only afraid of going home empty-handed."

The bullet comments started flooding in frantically.

"Salute to the Streamer!"

"Salute to the Streamer!"

"Salute to the Streamer!"

The System's notification tone sounded precisely in his mind.

"Mission completed. 100,000 yuan reward has been deposited."

The Police Officer said helplessly.

"Alright, there's a time and place for fishing, and safety is important too. Let's go back to the station for the statement first."

Hearing the voice in his head, Gao Xiaofan finally nodded.

He said goodbye to the viewers in the livestream room, closed the stream, quickly packed his things, and scurried away, huffing and puffing.

The Police Officers watched, speechless, as Gao Xiaofan, who a minute ago had been speaking righteously, now ran as if someone was chasing him.

"Hurry up, Officer! Let's go back quickly. This place is terrifying."

The statement was taken quickly, done in less than half an hour.

Back in the car, Gao Xiaofan sat alone, staring at his card balance with a silly grin.

One hundred thousand yuan!

Gao Xiaofan happily put away his phone and headed home.

His parents passed away early, during his high school years, leaving him only an old house. The little savings they had were spent on their funeral arrangements.

After graduating high school, Gao Xiaofan didn't continue his studies. Instead, he chose to endure the harsh realities of society, and this 'endurance' lasted five years.

Now 23 years old, while it's true that if he eats, the whole family is fed (meaning he's single), he was really just scraping by. He had thought about selling the old house to rent a place, which would give him some money in hand.

But he ultimately held back. After all, this was the only thing his parents had left him.

Now with this 100,000 yuan, the world is his oyster. He should definitely go find a girl to reward himself.

Thinking of this, Gao Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle.

Parking the car and returning home, he went into the bathroom, washed up, and then,

Lying in bed, he studied the backend data on his phone.

livestream room views: 200,000 people. Gifts received, converted to monetary value: 30,000 yuan.

He happily submitted a withdrawal request for the livestream tips.

Wow, earning so much in one night! Combined with the 100,000 yuan mission reward, he now had 130,000 yuan.

He clicked open his personal homepage again and took a look.

Angler Gao Xiaofan.

Originally having only a few dozen followers, one livestream had gained him 80,000 new fans.

Gao Xiaofan, content, turned off his phone. Soon after lying down, he started snoring.

He was asleep, but the viewers who had watched the stream couldn't sleep. Many had recorded the stream, and countless people forwarded the video from the livestream online, posting it in their respective fishing groups.

Instantly, the fishing world exploded.

"Unknown Streamer Night-Fishes 100-Jin Giant, Actually Asked by Police for Statement; Streamer Says: I Ain't Going."

"After Watching This Video, What Right Do You Have to Call Yourself a Competent Angler?"

"Anglers Fear Nothing; They Only Fear Going Home Empty-Handed!"

When it came to naming these videos, netizens were incredibly creative, as evident from the comments below the videos.

The top-liked hot comment:

"It's a shame you don't work at UC. I thought the Streamer got caught by the police brawling with a mermaid, but when I clicked, it was a corpse! Mind-blowing!"

As for people's reactions after watching the recorded stream, they were simply blown away.

"Fishing Should Be Like Brother Wo Zi, Floating corpse accompanies fishing, singing in the water, Police want my statement, but bait's laid, can't stand her."

On any video of Gao Xiaofan's night livestream recording, the comments were uniformly this one.

Instantly, the nickname 'Brother Wo Zi' resounded throughout the fishing community.

Early the next morning, Gao Xiaofan wiped the drool from his mouth and groggily answered the phone.

"Gao Xiaofan, look at what the hell time it is! Do you think the company is your home?"

Hearing his Boss's voice on the phone, Gao Xiaofan sat up with a jolt.

Damn, he forgot he still had to work today.

Last night's experience with the floating corpse had exhausted him mentally and physically. Once he hit the bed, he passed out completely, messing up his usual routine.

But now he had a huge sum of 100,000 yuan, and he even had a System. Did he still need to go to work?
