62: Silver Panda Butterfly Carp

Looking at this fish that closely resembled the national treasure, the panda, his hands trembled with excitement.

In our country, anything related to the national treasure can be summed up in two words—precious.

Although the Silver Butterfly Koi didn't have the title of 'aquatic aristocrat panda,' it at least looked like a panda.

That alone was enough.

If he encountered a Butterfly Koi enthusiast, its value would increase even more.

Chen Xiangbei carefully placed it into the fish box.

He then fed it a little Secret Bait to enhance its physique.

Ornamental Fish with good physiques and high vitality are easy to raise and are most loved by fish keepers.

With an excited heart, he continued to fish.

The next scene seemed to confirm his guess.

He cast a few rods consecutively and caught Black Fish of various sizes.

Black Fish are fierce fish and highly aggressive.

Their arrival scared away the small fish around the water pit.

He had cast bait twice initially and hadn't seen any Black Fish.

They only appeared now, the only possibility being that they had swum over from a considerable distance.

The bait's scent spread from near to far, enhanced by the increase in bait.

This indicated that this water pit was connected to Baiyun Lake.

A perfectly good treasure spot was occupied by these Black Fish, making him grit his teeth in frustration.

Normally, he would definitely deal with these Black Fish.

But he couldn't now; he had to seize every second to catch more fish, so he decided to switch locations and fish in Baiyun Lake.

“Hmph, I hope you can live a bit longer. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely braise you in soy sauce.”

Chen Xiangbei grumbled as he left the water pit with his belongings.

He came to the edge of Baiyun Lake not far away and found a relatively flat spot.

After setting down his things, he started casting bait again.

Baiyun Lake wasn't as easy to fish in as the water pit; it was larger and contained all sorts of fish.

Every time he cast his rod, many smallMiscellaneous fish interfered with him.

He picked up a large stone nearby and forcefully threw it into the water.

“Plop~”

With a loud splash, huge ripples spread across the water's surface.

The smallMiscellaneous fish were scared and scattered wildly, disappearing from his sight in a moment.

After the water surface calmed down, he threw in another piece of enhanced bait.

“Hehe, silly fish, hurry up and come out. Brother will find you a good home, and you'll never have to worry about food or clothing again.”

Chen Xiangbei muttered with a slightly lewd expression.

The 'silly fish' he referred to were Ornamental Fish.

The reason he threw stones to scare away the fish was because smallMiscellaneous fish are much more alert than Ornamental Fish.

Scaring them away now meant they wouldn't dare return for quite a while.

Ornamental Fish, however, were different; they would go wherever there was food, completely disregarding their own lives.

Typical foodies who prioritize eating over survival.

This was also related to their genes.

Just think about how in the past, you could even scoop up Goldfish by hand in Baiyun Lake, and you'll know how silly these Ornamental Fish are!

Sure enough, not long after the bait was in the water again, a few brightly colored fish swam towards him from a distance.

After they got closer, they didn't even bother to test the waters and openly started eating the fish bait.

Chen Xiangbei lifted his hand and smoothly brought up a three-colored Lionhead Goldfish.

As he lifted the rod, the 'silly fish' in the water didn't even know what was happening.

They were still searching around for scraps of fish bait to eat.

This made him overjoyed; the species and appearance of these Lionhead Goldfish were quite good.

They could fetch a good price in the market.

He spent some time catching all these 'silly fish' and kept them in the fish box.

Just as he was about to continue fishing, the angler next to him let out a howl.

Chen Xiangbei turned around curiously to look.

He saw the angler in the distance holding something in his hand and gesticulating wildly.

Chen Xiangbei shouted to him, “Hey! What are you doing? Are you that happy fishing?!”

The angler heard someone call him and also turned his head, responding excitedly.

“Brother, I caught a rare species of Lionhead Goldfish! I'm making a fortune, making a fortune!”

“It's just a fish, be careful not to jump into the water, no one will save you then!”

Knowing that this person was so happy he was beside himself because he caught a rare fish, he could understand that feeling.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to catch a rare species of fish.

Not everyone has Tong Zi Ge to help them like he does.

In Baiyun Lake Market, a rare species of fish usually appears only after a long period.

It was only after he arrived recently that high-quality, good-looking Ornamental Fish started appearing frequently.

A rare species of Ornamental Fish can sell for several thousand yuan, and those with good appearances can sell for over ten thousand yuan.

How could you tell him not to be excited?

He ignored the angler and turned back to continue fishing.

By this time, a large number ofMiscellaneous fish had gathered on the lake's surface.

Chen Xiangbei picked up another stone and threw it in, and the fish scattered in response.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he decisively cast his rod to attract the 'silly fish' to bite.

He fished for over an hour, and the rate of catching fish became slower and slower.

The fish box wasn't even half full, but it was all filled with fish of considerable value.

Let's move to another spot and continue...

Around 10 PM.

After changing fishing spots several times, he finally filled an entire large fish box.

He carried the 'goods' he had acquired back to Baiyun Lake Market.

He saw that the market area was still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Walking around the main street, he noticed quite a few people carrying fishing rods around.

They were likely either coming to fish overnight or finishing fishing and preparing to go back.

Their purpose for coming to the market was probably to do some research and understand market prices, etc.

There were also some who wanted to wait for people to explore the Baiyun Lake Water Monster together.

These people called themselves explorers, but they were mostly just video bloggers creating hype to gain traffic.

If they actually encountered the Water Monster, all they would do is take pictures of it with their cameras, and nothing else.

Then they would post the video online with a caption:

Unexpectedly encountered the Water Monster today. After a fierce battle, I was defeated. I will adjust my condition and fight again another day. Please like and follow.

Chen Xiangbei also saw a few anglers setting up stalls to sell fish.

The reason he was sure they were anglers was because they were all tanned and dark.

He went over to watch.

He found that the fish they caught weren't of very good quality, but they were asking extremely high prices.

Chen Xiangbei shook his head, thinking, 'Greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.' No wonder they were still setting up stalls late at night.

Treating people like fools, they could just rob them, but instead, they insist on giving you a fish.

He turned around and continued browsing.

Passing by the young girl's shop, he peeked in but didn't see her; only her father was in the shop.

Chen Xiangbei suddenly thought of an efficient way to sell fish.

So, he lifted his foot and walked in.

Walking in, he saw the Shop Owner from afar and greeted him loudly.

“Good evening, Shop Owner! I've come to see you.”

The Shop Owner glanced at him and immediately recognized the young man.
