87: Couple nicknames?

"Director Zhang, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease~" Jing Yu smiled, covering her mouth.

"President Jing, you're joking. Even with heavy rain, Xiushui Village will be fine."

The middle-aged man took the cigarette Cheng Yan handed him, lit it, and said with a smile.

"Oh? How so?"

Qu Lang asked curiously.

"We've considered the terrain elevation issue you mentioned on the phone. As early as three years ago, our local government discussed relocating the village with Xiushui Village. You've seen the result; Xiushui Village is still here."

"So back then, we used mining explosives to blast out an artificial lake in a flat area in the middle."

Director Zhang continued under the stunned gazes of the three.

"If the An River really floods, the first thing would be to open the gates to discharge the flood, so there's a one hundred percent chance the water from the An River won't flow over here."

"If it's just water accumulating in that artificial lake, to overflow and flood down due to the terrain, believe me, unless it rains heavily for half a month straight, it will definitely not overflow~"

Hearing this, both Qu Lang and Cheng Yan felt relieved and started laughing.

Jing Yu frowned: "So there's still a possibility of flooding?"

Director Zhang smiled: "President Jing, half a month is plenty of time for personnel to evacuate."

Jing Yu suddenly understood and smiled embarrassedly.

"President Jing was just worried about everyone's safety, which is why she didn't realize it immediately. It's truly admirable~"

Director Zhang quickly added with a smile.

After finishing their business, everyone's mood lightened. Just in time for dinner, the three led Director Zhang to the prepared banquet, clinking glasses and having a great time... Gao Xiaofan used an entrenching tool to continuously slice fish. Grass Carp has thick meat and many bones; it wouldn't taste good roasted, no doubt about it.

Once the fish was sliced, he marinated it with seasoning, then jogged over to start a fire. He set up the entrenching tool, heated the oil, and placed the marinated fish slices on it one by one.

Sizzling sounds came from the iron shovel as the fish slices curled slightly under the heat of the oil. The marinade on the fish slices released a strong aroma under the high-temperature frying.

He filled a bowl and handed it to Qiu Gu, then started frying again.

After the two had their fill, Qiu Gu silently cleaned up while Gao Xiaofan waved at the camera on the tripod nearby, saying he was going to the bathroom, then slipped away to smoke a cigarette.

Ever since Jing Yu arrived, the Program Production Crew had stopped giving Gao Xiaofan any preferential treatment; even Qiu Gu was being neglected.

Qiu Gu had been out for so many days that he had long run out of dry rations, and the Program Production Crew wasn't letting anyone send more. If Gao Xiaofan hadn't shared his food, he probably would have starved to death out here.

The viewers in the livestream room had also noticed something from the morning's muting, so they were well aware of why Gao Xiaofan frequently disappeared from the camera's view.

This guy went to smoke again. Previously, someone would clean up after him and censor it in real-time, but not anymore~

Although they didn't know what the conflict between Gao Xiaofan and the Program Production Crew was about, it didn't stop the fans from taking Gao Xiaofan's side.

They say all anglers under heaven are one family. Usually, when meeting fellow anglers while fishing, it ranges from borrowing lead weights, toilet paper, or landing nets, to just getting in a car and changing spots together on a whim. Now that their favorite Brother Wo Zi was being mistreated, they had to stand by him.

After both finished their respective tasks, they returned to their positions. Gao Xiaofan sat on the small mound once again.

While eating the fish slices, he thought about how Bream is quite a good catch, but for some reason, he hadn't caught a single one yet.

This large body of water had already yielded Grass Carp, Blunt-snouted bream, and Silver Carp and Bighead Carp; there was no reason for there to be no Bream~

Gao Xiaofan, full of energy after eating, made a powerful cast, then threw a few more kernels of corn into the water.

To his disappointment, there wasn't a single bite from afternoon until night.

The float really wasn't moving at all~

During the evening interaction, even the livestream room started jokingly telling him to change his name.

First-Class Competitive Fishing Master Yu Weibao (Li Yuer): "How about changing your screen name? First-Class Competitive Fishing Master Piao Bu Dong~"

Yu Yu Yu Yu Ling (Zhao Yuling): "Couple screen names?"

Online ID: "Oh? Someone can't hold back anymore~"

First-Class Competitive Fishing Master Yu Weibao (Li Yuer): "..."

Gao Xiaofan looked at that familiar ID, and his mood inexplicably brightened.

That vibrant, youthful, and beautiful girl, Zhao Yuling~

Since their last parting, he had only seen Zhao Yuling appear in the livestream room once when the show started. He hadn't expected her to be in the livestream room today.

"Hehe, welcome, great reporter, to my humble livestream room~"

Seeing someone familiar always makes one happy, just like when a long-unseen reader suddenly appears in the comments section; it can make one's whole day.

Yu Yu Yu Yu Ling (Zhao Yuling): "I've always been here, okay? You haven't even looked at my fan level~"

Only then did Gao Xiaofan notice the level in front of Zhao Yuling's ID: Fan Badge Level 16.

This was a max-level badge. Besides sending gifts, staying in the livestream room for a long time also increases intimacy.

Gao Xiaofan felt as sweet as if he'd eaten honey. The gifts Zhao Yuling sent would at most reach level 12, meaning the last four levels were entirely earned through watch time.

He had been too careless, never checking his fans' levels. Thinking of this, he clicked on the fan list to take a look, and the result surprised him.

He thought only a few people from his hardcore fan group would have Level 16 badges, but there were actually quite a lot.

Fishing Should Be Like Wo Zi Ge, Fan Badge Level 16.

Nickname: Turtle Hitting King, Fan Badge Level 16.

Xing Kuan Lu Zhai, Fan Badge Level 16.

Meng Ran, Fan Badge Level 16.

Ji Feng Yi~ You Gui Tu, Fan Badge Level 16.

...He usually didn't see them speaking in the livestream room, yet their levels were so high. These were definitely true fans~

After gathering his thoughts and interacting happily with the viewers for a while, Gao Xiaofan crawled into his sleeping bag.

But staring at the top of the tent, he suffered from insomnia once again. He felt that something was wrong.

The water had started flowing again this afternoon, even faster than last time. As soon as the float hit the water, it would drift two meters downstream in less than a minute, visible to the naked eye.

He mentioned it to Qiu Gu again in the evening. Qiu Gu never messed around with such major matters and hurriedly contacted the Program Production Crew.

However, the Program Production Crew's categorical reply put Qiu Gu and Gao Xiaofan's minds at ease once more.

"The Director of the Meteorological Bureau came today. We'll let you know if there's any news. And don't worry about heavy rain causing floods; if you're really scared, then come back."

Hearing this, both felt uncomfortable, but they didn't say anything.

Gao Xiaofan didn't plan on going back. There were only three days left in the show. Mixing with those celebrities would be incredibly boring. Since they said it was fine, he might as well stay out here and fish.

Dazed, Gao Xiaofan fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams, he heard thunder and torrential rain.
