I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Just as Teacher Yan said, it only took the group a dozen minutes to reach the fishpond.

The fishpond was quite large, the water was calm, and there was a row of willow trees on the bank, their shadows cast on the water.

There is also a small bamboo grove nearby, where the wind rustles through the bamboo leaves.

The six people stood in a line on the shore, their expressions solemn, as if they were about to face a major battle.

Yan Lei put the fishing rod aside and took out several bags from the small bag he had brought.

The bag was filled with bottles and jars, as well as bait of various colors.

This scene attracted the attention of the other five members.

"Professor Yan, you are so professional!" Liu Xianhua said sincerely.

"Of course, I like to go fishing when I have free time," Yan Lei said with considerable pride.

He had prepared all of this bait before coming to Hangzhou, because he figured there should be a place to fish at this stop!

Today, he is determined to take this opportunity to showcase his superb fishing skills in front of the camera.

"You guys go play by yourselves for a while, I'll prepare some bait and distribute it to you one by one later!"

"With my bait, we're sure to achieve twice the result with half the effort today!"

"Grass carp prefer vegetarian and sweet-and-sour flavors, so I've prepared vegetarian bait and wine-flavored bait today."

As Yan Lei spoke, he took out a small stainless steel basin, scooped some pond water, and began to prepare the bait.

"When preparing the bait, be sure to use pond water. Pour the bait into the pond water according to the specified ratio, and stir it clockwise directly by hand until well mixed!"

[Achieving twice the result with half the effort? I think it's more like achieving half the result with twice the effort.]

[Oh? Using the original broth to catch the original food? That's quite sophisticated!]

Wow! Teacher Yan is actually a fellow angler? His technique is quite professional!

You anglers have so much practical experience and such fancy equipment, you must catch a lot of fish every time!

[Don't think I won't mess with you just because there are two screens between us!]

The other five obediently dispersed, each finding a fishing spot nearby, sitting down, and setting up their fishing rods.

Tian Xiwei ignored the fishing rod, tossed it to Cheng Che, and then squatted down in front of the bushes nearby.

"Hey, look, there are berries here."

She picked a small handful of red berries from the weeds and placed them in her palm.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Xia Ziyi immediately leaned closer. "Can I eat it?"

"I don't know, but it looks pretty good, not like it's poisonous," Tian Xiwei said.

For a moment, the two women stared at the berries in front of them, deep in thought about whether or not to eat them.

"You two greedy girls, don't eat random things," Cheng Che said with the concern of a loving father.

"You don't want tomorrow morning's trending topics to be about two popular actresses being hospitalized after accidentally eating poisonous berries," he said quietly.

Tian Xiwei and Xia Ziyi both shivered, and looked at Jiang Guo as if she were looking at some kind of monster.

It's okay to trend on social media, but it's absolutely unacceptable to make a fool of yourself while trending.

As a great man once said: I may die, but I cannot die for society.

"Well, we've got nothing better to do," Tian Xiwei suggested, "Why don't we try fishing with these berries?"

"I think it's a good idea!" Xia Ziyi raised both hands and feet in agreement.

Hmph, if Xia Ziyi wants to eat wild berries, the fish in the water must want them too!

"I have no objection," Liu Xianhua said.

Xu Anan nodded as well.

Cheng Che scratched his head: "That works too."

Since we're already here...

She'd already picked them all.

Then we'll use it.

Tian Xiwei picked eleven berries, which were then shared among the five of them.

She kept two for herself and gave two to each of Xia, Xu, and Liu.

Only Cheng Che received three.

Tian Xiwei secretly smiled, quite pleased with her little gesture.

And so, the five of them, each with a fishing rod and red berries tied to the hooks, lined up in the shade of the tree and began to fish.

Yan Lei was still stirring the bait, listening to their words and watching their actions, and he thought these children were really innocent and cute.

"Alright, then you can play around with the berries first." He laughed. "But remember to be mentally prepared."

"Because the success rate of berry fishing is still too low..."

"Hey? I think I caught a fish!" Xia Ziyi exclaimed, interrupting Yan Lei.

Everyone immediately looked at her and saw that Sister Xia's fishing float had sunk, and she suddenly lifted the fishing rod with all her might.

With a "whoosh," she pulled a fish of unknown species out of the water.

"...?"

Yan Lei was a little confused, but quickly recovered and laughed, "Haha, it seems Xia's luck isn't so good..."

"I think I caught one too!" Tian Xiwei suddenly exclaimed.

Her float sank as well, and she immediately lifted the fishing rod, pulling a fish out of the water.

"...?"

Yan Lei opened his mouth.

"I also."

Before Yan Lei could speak again, Xu An'nan also lifted the fishing rod, pulling out a fish.

Countless anglers in front of the screen were completely dumbfounded:

【Wait, is this even legal?】

[Are you kidding me? Five people cast their lines in less than three minutes, and then they caught three fish?]

[They didn't even bait the area; they used the Thunder Fishing Spot, and the bait was wild berries picked from the roadside...]

[An insane newbie protection period.]

[Is Wang Zheng diving underwater? He jumps on the hook as soon as he sees one. You might fool others, but you can't fool me!!]

"...?"

It took Yan Lei quite a while to process what was happening before him.

"I see," he said with a sudden realization. "It's probably because there are just so many fish in this pond that you can catch them so easily!"

"Yes, that must be it!" He successfully convinced himself.

I never expected to find such a great fishing spot while recording a TV show.

If you can catch fish with berries, then you'll be ecstatic when you use his special bait.

He was already thinking about what to do if he caught too many fish and couldn't finish eating them.

The situation is excellent!

"Here I come too!" Henry Lau suddenly roared, standing up and slamming his cue stick down. "Watch this!!"

The fishhook emerged from the water, and under the sunlight, everyone could clearly see that a fish was hooked on it...

crayfish?

And just as the hook reached its highest point, the crayfish released its claws in full view of everyone.

With a "plop," it fell back into the fishpond.

Looking at the empty fishing hook he had retrieved, Liu Xianhua scratched his head and then his nose.

"My luck is bad."

However, the others didn't even have time to grieve for Da Hua's missed crayfish, because what followed them to the battlefield was—

"Cheng Che, your float is moving!" Tian Xiwei exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Che's eyes sharpened, and he instantly stood up and raised his fishing rod, which drew a beautiful arc in the sunlight.

A black figure emerged from the water, as if resigned to its fate, and was pulled ashore by Cheng Che.

Tian Xiwei stared wide-eyed at the black figure lying on the grass, covered in mud and sand.
