He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

The guy lowered his voice and began to explain in detail. It wasn't much, but everyone understood.

Then, they pretended to continue trolling.

At this point, they had only been trolling for a short time and hadn't attracted the attention of any big fish yet, so no one had managed to get a bite, but everyone was still very confident.

After all, this isn't the first or second time I've done this job.

Every time I troll, I don't come back empty-handed; in fact, I often have a good catch.

About three minutes later, Niu Bayi came over, carrying his fishing rod, looking very proud and confident.

In his other hand, he was carrying a small plastic bucket filled with bait, such as small fish and shrimp.

Of course, they were all dead, and some were even rotting, emitting a foul stench.

However, trolling requires these kinds of rotten fish and shrimp, which can quickly release their scent on the seabed to attract the attention of larger fish.

As soon as he approached, the first crew member to speak chuckled and said, "Boss Niu, here in our trolling scene, besides fishing, there's something else quite fun to do. Would you like to try it?"

Niu Bayi knew his name and responded with a smile.

"Sure, Wang Fufa, tell me, what fun things are going to happen?"

Wang Fufa couldn't wait to say it.

It's actually quite simple.

He wants to make a bet, and there's a stake!

There were fifteen people present, plus Niu Bayi, making sixteen in total.

The person who catches the fewest fish must pay money to those who caught more fish, based on the total number of fish caught by everyone else.

At this point, Wang Fufa pointed to the left and right.

"For example, if you caught two fish and Zhang San caught five, he caught three more than you, so you have to give him 3 yuan. If Li Si caught ten fish, he caught eight more than you, so you have to give him 8 yuan. How about that?"

That's a very shrewd plan.

They were sure that Niu Bayi fishing would be the least among them.

It's no wonder these people are so confident. After all, they've been out in the wind and waves for years, and they always troll fish when they go out to sea. They've long since mastered the skill and never come back empty-handed.

You can easily catch ten or eight fish, or even twenty or thirty; it's no problem at all.

Has Niu Bayi ever trolled from a fishing reel?

No!

He was a complete novice.

So everyone thought they had him cornered.

After saying that, Wang Fufa squinted at Niu Bayi and said with a half-smile, "Brother Niu is so powerful, you wouldn't be afraid to gamble on something like this, would you?"

The others immediately chimed in with their own jokes.

"It's hard to say. Although Boss Niu has a gun, is very skilled, and fights swiftly, his ability to fish is questionable!"

"Although Boss Niu is also a fisherman and often goes out to sea to fish, he has never been this far out to sea, let alone trolled. It's normal that he's hesitant!"

"This is so disappointing! I thought Boss Niu was omnipotent!"

"So what if he's omnipotent? Boss Niu probably wouldn't dare take that bet!"

……

Look!

Look!

This is taking the use of reverse psychology to the extreme.

Niu Ba grinned and laughed.

"Let's gamble. Even though I've never done trolling before, it doesn't mean I can't catch anything. They say there's a beginner's protection period, where people are especially lucky the first time they do something."

"Maybe I can catch the most fish and make some money by taking advantage of this newbie protection period."

The group burst into laughter and nodded repeatedly.

Wang Fufa clapped his hands, appearing quite excited.

"After hearing what Boss Niu said, I feel like he's bound to be the big winner. Let's start fishing!"

The others nodded eagerly.

"Yes, yes, let's start fishing!"

Niu Ba waved his hand.

"Wait a minute, I think this kind of betting is exciting, but not exciting enough. Let's try something more exciting."

The fifteen crew members spoke in unison.

"What's more exciting?"

Niu Bayi said with a smile, "Let's have a double bet. First, as the gambling king Fu Fa said, you all understand, so I won't go into details. Second, it's a contest to see who catches the most fish."

"Then, the other fifteen people will also have to pay money to the person who caught the most fish, according to the number of fish they caught."

"For example, Wang Fufa!"

He pointed at Wang Fufa.

"I caught thirty fish, and you caught twenty, so you have to give me 10 yuan."

Then, he pointed around.

"Zhang San, if you catch ten, you have to give me 20 yuan. Li Si, if you catch five, you have to give me 25 yuan. Anyway, assuming I catch the most, all fifteen of you will lose money to me."

Upon hearing this, instead of panicking, everyone seemed particularly excited.

Wang Fufa clapped his hands.

"That sounds good. One bet is on who catches the fewest fish, and the other is on who catches the most fish. Interesting. Let's do it this way."

The others nodded excitedly as well.

Now, not only can they extort a hefty sum from Niu Bayi, but they can also make even more money.

After all, all fifteen crew members were very confident that they could be the ones who caught the most fish.

At that time, not only will I be able to get Niu Bayi's money, but I will also be able to get everyone else's money.

Niu Bayi said, "Words are no proof. Let's put it in writing. Go get some paper and pen and write down all the terms of the bet so that no one will renege on their promise later."

Wang Fufa laughed heartily.

"Yes, I'm really worried that someone might try to renege on their debt. It's better to have everything clearly written down in black and white. I'll go get it."

Before long, he took out paper and pen, and even wrote a few lines himself, crookedly writing down both bets.

Then, one by one, they signed their names, and Niu Bayi also signed his.

The betting agreement was completed just like that, and that was the end of the deal.

Wang Fufa waved his hand.

"Okay, let's start fishing."

A group of people stood about two meters apart next to the boat, each occupying a spot, and began to swing their rods.

Only then did someone notice something was wrong and started shouting.

"Niu Bayi, what's wrong with you? We all use one fishing rod, but you're using five?"

Indeed, the group was so focused on making a bet with Niu Bayi that they didn't even notice he was carrying five fishing rods.

He only realized it when he swung the club.

Others bring many fishing rods, but they will also spread them out separately.

Niu Bayi was really something else; he swung five fishing rods at the same time, piling them up together.

He chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Is that not allowed? It didn't say I couldn't use five fishing rods at the same time. Are you afraid I'll catch more fish with five rods than you do with one?"

His words caused the entire crew to burst into laughter, some even bending over with laughter so hard they could hardly breathe.

Wang Fufa shook his head.

"Brother Niu, you're really amazing! It's not bad at all. You use five fishing rods while we only use one. You'll definitely catch more fish than us."

"Okay, okay, you can use five fishing rods. There's no rule against you using them. Use them as much as you want."

"Moreover, you must insist on using it from beginning to end."

Immediately, the other crew members burst into laughter, clutching their waists.

As experienced sea anglers, especially trolling, they certainly understand that, let alone other fishing methods, even just trolling with five fishing rods at the same time will definitely make it more difficult to catch fish.

Fish in the sea are generally large and heavy, and they are also particularly fierce.

In addition, trolling takes place while the fishing boat is sailing, so the waves are definitely rougher.

Even if only one fish bites the hook, you have to use all five fishing rods simultaneously.

Can you manage to keep up?

Fishing rods can be dragged away at will!

The worst part is that when fishing with five rods together, the fishing lines get tangled up all at once.

This is so inconvenient!

Actually, even people who don't know how to fish know this.

So the crew couldn't understand why this guy was so stupid.

Regardless, not long after the trolling started, everyone had cast their lines into the sea.
