After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 171

As Bai Chen watched the video on the big screen of tons of fish being released, he couldn't help but wonder, "Logically speaking, how could we not catch any fish with so many?"

If it wasn't done by human intervention, then
He turned his head sharply to look at the surface of the reservoir. The vast water was calm and still. He opened his eyes wide and looked desperately, as if he had opened his third eye, but unfortunately, he was not good enough and could not see anything. He could only look at his sister.

The egret also looked at the water. This reservoir was shaped like a gourd, with a small head and a large tail, and a narrow middle. It had no evil or demonic aura; it was just an ordinary reservoir, and the egret couldn't see anything special about it at first.

She turned to Bai Chen and Bai Wei and said, "Let's give it a try!"

"Alright, let's go fishing!" Bai Chen said, heading to pay.

Bai Wei went to the car to get her fishing rod. The last time she went fishing was in elementary school. She hadn't gone fishing since junior high and had no interest in it. Now that life has slowed down, she misses the fun she used to have when fishing.

In the past, fishing equipment was incredibly rudimentary. We'd just buy an ordinary fishhook and a spool of ordinary fishing line, then cut a thick, hard bamboo stalk from the bamboo grove near our house, cut a piece from an old slipper to use as a float, and bring a red bucket from our laundry tub.

That's it.

Back then, there were so many kinds of fishing rods that you couldn't even name them all: hand rods, rock fishing rods, lure rods, sea rods, and so on!

Prices range from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands, unlike the simple fishing rods they used when they were young, which never cost more than three yuan!
When the reservoir owner saw that Bai Lu and her group had decided to go fishing, his smile widened. He almost couldn't help but give Bai Chen a big hug. He quickly arranged a spot for Bai Lu's family and repeatedly assured them, "There really are big fish in my reservoir. Besides the fish I released, there are definitely native fish species. A few years ago, before fishing here was banned, some villagers nearby caught carp weighing over 100 pounds!"

"A carp weighing over a hundred pounds?" Bai Chen nudged the egret. He used to find it strange, but after learning this profession, he realized that all things have a spirit. Whether it's an animal or a plant, as long as it lives long enough, it has a spirit!

Reservoir owner: "Yes! Absolutely true!" "That's true, but we've never seen it!"

"That's what the fisherman shouted."

"Oh, Mr. Li!" The reservoir owner clasped his hands together, looking humble. "My reservoir really does have fish. If you'd be so kind as to fish for another half day, I won't charge you—"

He glanced at Bai Chen and the others, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you gentlemen also fail to catch any fish, all the money you received will be returned to you."

It's clear that the reservoir owner is truly at his wit's end.

Seeing that Bai Lu and the others had agreed, the fisherman reluctantly agreed to fish for another half day: "You'd better ask your great-grandfather to bless me so that I can catch fish today, otherwise, the first thing I'll do when I get back is to block your reservoir in all the fishing groups!"

The reservoir owner looked like he had lost his parents; his smile was more like a grimace. Truly, he wasn't earning hard-earned money; he was earning money through sheer misery!
Who knows, after today, I might be so unlucky that I won't be able to earn any money!

Honestly, even the reservoir owner wants to hire a feng shui master to see what kind of monsters are lurking in the reservoir and whether they've eaten all the fish he's caught!
Grandfather, if you are watching from heaven, please bless your great-grandson, no, please bless the fisherman!

"You three, four rods?" The fisherman surnamed Li followed behind Bai Lu and the others, striking up a conversation in a very familiar manner.
