147: Meet "Hai Liu Zi" again

Chen Xiangbei slowly dragged the massive creature to the stern, then pulled it to the contact point between the deck and the seawater, lifting its body out of the water.

He then put down his fishing rod and pounced on it with extreme speed, gripping its gills with both hands, and then let out a roar.

"Ya~"

Chen Xiangbei, with an overbearing posture, dragged the Giant Grouper onto the boat. To keep it fresh, he immediately picked it up and carried it to the live-fish tank, tossing it in to be kept separately.

Today's haul, apart from that black pearl, was undoubtedly this giant Giant Grouper. It was certainly worth the bowl of braised pork with rice he had for lunch!

Chen Xiangbei returned to the cabin to rest for a while. He took out a bottle of iced Happy Tiger from his space, twisted open the cap, and guzzled a few mouthfuls.

The icy liquid flowed down his throat, bringing a refreshing coolness. The feeling of fatigue seemed to dissipate, and his body was re-energized.

He sighed contentedly, savoring the invigorating sensation brought by the iced Happy Tiger.

He took out his phone to check short videos. The video clips of him participating in the show, which he had reposted two days ago, were still immensely popular.

Each video averaged 5 million likes and 300,000 saves, and the comment section was completely overwhelmed with praise, exclamations, and questions about when he would appear on a variety show again.

Chen Xiangbei clicked on the comment section and found that several comments had an astonishing 1 million likes!

The original text of that comment was:

Xiangbei, I am in danger, save me quickly — Yehenala Ying.

Xiangbei, though we haven't met, I miss you greatly. The nation is in peril today, the children of the southern village bully me, an old and powerless woman. I hope you can lend a hand, please come quickly! — Yehenala Ying.

Yehenala is her surname, resisting foreigners is her destiny. Please help Ying slay those fourteen foreign realms!

Chen Xiangbei knew who Yehenala Ying was referring to, but he didn't know what had happened, so he searched for recent events in the search bar.

It turned out that on the day he appeared on the show, a well-known program also aired simultaneously: the latest season of "Singer."

In this episode, the famous Singer Yehenala Ying gained popularity by ranking third, but the top two were foreigners, which led to her being jokingly called a fifty-year-old woman guarding the nation's gate.

The reason it only became a trending topic now was that all music variety shows that day were overshadowed by his popularity, and it was only now that someone exposed it.

Then a large group of netizens left comments on his video, asking him to come and support, otherwise the top spots on the leaderboard would all be taken by foreigners!

Chen Xiangbei also burst into laughter while reading the comments. These netizens were truly talented; they could come up with any kind of meme.

However, he genuinely felt like going to play around. Competing in singing with foreigners seemed quite interesting.

He checked his backend and indeed found an invitation from the "Singer" production team. They had sent three invitations consecutively over three days, showing their sincerity.

Chen Xiangbei replied to the production team's invitation, asking their staff to add his contact information, and he would discuss the specific matters after he finished his current tasks and returned.

The short video account manager for the Singer production team, upon receiving Chen Xiangbei's private message reply, was so excited that he immediately added his VV, then called the highest person in charge of the production team to explain the situation.

Chen Xiangbei exited the short video APP, accepted the production team's friend request, finished the last sip of Happy Tiger, and then went out to continue fishing.

Returning to the deck at the bow, Chen Xiangbei still started by chumming, as the recent struggle with that large creature had scared away all the surrounding fish.

After chumming, Chen Xiangbei quietly waited for the right moment. However, just as he was about to cast his rod, a sound of cutting through waves came from the distant water.

He looked up and gazed into the distance, noticing a black silhouette occasionally gliding across the sea surface, reflecting a crystal clear light under the sunlight.

The sound of breaking waves carried the gurgling of flowing water, clear and melodious. Each wave break was accompanied by a slight splash, not loud, but clearly audible.

It created ripples on the sea surface, emitting delicate sounds that conveyed their agility and grace.

As it got closer, Chen Xiangbei also saw its true appearance clearly: it was a lovely Orcas!

When it approached the fishing boat, it made an elegant leap out of the water, then quickly swam straight down towards the seabed.

The sinking location was where he had just chummed, so it must have been attracted by the scent of the Secret Bait.

Chen Xiangbei had no intention of casting his rod at this moment. He just stood there, staring intently at the movement on the water.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, two slick heads emerged from the water.

At this moment, the Orcas' shiny black eyes stared at Chen Xiangbei, emitting a long, drawn-out cry.

"Mew mew~"

Their calls were delicate and prolonged, and their clear echoes could still be heard across the vast ocean. Chen Xiangbei quietly listened to these melodious sounds.

Upon the boundless ocean, a small vessel drifted leisurely on the sea surface, as if merging with the vastness.

A young man stood on the boat, quietly gazing at the distant sea.

At this moment, two massive Orcas' heads emerged from the sea, responding to the young man from afar, as if engaging in a silent communication.

In this moment, humanity and nature coexisted harmoniously, forming a beautiful and serene picture.

The moment the scene was frozen, it perfectly resembled the warm and romantic harmony between humans and nature.

Seeing Chen Xiangbei make no move, the two Orcas seemed very anxious and began to constantly slap the sea surface with their tails, making crisp "slapping" sounds.

Chen Xiangbei saw the Orcas' sudden rapid slapping sounds, as if they were trying to express something.

So, he began to try and communicate with them. He first took out a Sea Lizi and offered it to them.

The Orcas began to approach the Sea Lizi, but after getting close, they let out an urgent cry, as if saying, "That's not what I want."

Chen Xiangbei threw the fish in front of them, but they didn't even glance at it, still staring straight at him, their calls rising and falling.

He began to ponder: These two Sea Lizi must have been out hunting, chased a great white shark, but the great white shark escaped, so they were looking for new prey.

But they returned to this area. Right! They were attracted back by the Secret Bait. After tasting this delicious food, they must have fallen deeply in love with it and probably wanted to eat it again.

Chen Xiangbei suddenly realized, and took out a ball of Secret Bait from his portable space.

The two Orcas began to excitedly emit melodious and lingering calls, as if saying: "That's it! That's it!"

He broke the Secret Bait into two halves and fed them to the two Sea Lizi respectively.

"Whoosh~"
