Financial freedom begins with fishing

The Big Fish in Chapter 46

What seemed like a complex thought process actually only took Xiao Kai a few seconds.

As a man of action, he reacted immediately.

He first tried moving the aperture to the vicinity of the area where the big fish had just splashed water, so that it would cover the area.

He then immediately took out a 7.2-meter rebar fishing rod from his rod bag, which he had never opened since he bought it.

That's right, Xiao Kai is planning to go big this time.

No angler can resist the temptation of a big fish, and Xiao Kai is no exception.

Although he didn't have much experience in this area, that didn't stop him from wanting to catch this big fish.

Although he didn't know whether the big fish had escaped the area now covered by the light in the few seconds he was thinking, what was the harm in trying? What if it hadn't escaped?

Of course, he didn't lift the fishing rod he was using during this process, because that would make the halos disappear, and he couldn't guarantee that the fish wouldn't get away after the halos disappeared.

To avoid any accidents, this is the only clumsy method we can use.

Soon, Xiao Kai had prepared the rebar fishing rod.

However, he then encountered another problem: the wire group.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a big fish, so at the beginning of the match, the largest line set Xiao Peng was given was 4+3.

Based on what he just saw, he estimated that the fish in the water probably weighed over 20 or 30 pounds. A 4+3 line setup would definitely not be enough for such a big fish; he would have to switch to a bigger one.

Xiao Kai originally wanted to retrieve the supplies provided by the organizers himself, but considering the possibility that the aura might disappear after he left, he had no choice but to activate the SOS spell.

"Brother Peng, Brother Peng!"

Xiao Kai lowered his voice slightly and called out twice towards the tent behind him.

However, no one responded to him; the other person was clearly asleep.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai had no choice but to get up, go to the edge of the tent, unzip it, and stick his head inside.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Peng fast asleep, snoring loudly.

"Brother Peng, Brother Peng!"

Xiao Kai called out twice more, this time raising his voice slightly since he was inside the tent and wouldn't disturb others.

This time there was a clear reaction.

Two seconds later, Xiao Peng's snoring stopped.

He slowly opened his eyes and, still half-asleep, asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Kai?"

Seeing the other person's sleepy appearance, Xiao Kai felt a little embarrassed and said softly, "Brother Peng, I can't leave here. Could you please go to the organizers to pick up some things for me?"

"Oh? Okay!"

Xiao Peng was still a little confused, but he still agreed.

He unzipped his sleeping bag and slowly sat up.

As soon as a chill swept over him, Xiao Peng instantly lost all his sleepiness.

"Ouch~ It's so cold!"

Xiao Peng put on his coat, shivering, and then felt much better.

Only then did he remember to ask Xiao Kai, "What's wrong? What do you need to pick up so late?"

「一套7米2，15号的主线和12号子线配18号伊势尼线组！」肖凯说。

"Um?"

Xiao Peng was stunned. "Xiao Kai, what are you going to do with such a big fishing line? Are you going to fish for sharks?"

Xiao Kai chuckled and said, "Where would a shark come from in this place? I just saw a big fish splashing water in my spot, so I wanted to try fishing for it!"

How big?

Xiao Peng's eyes lit up when he heard about the big fish.

"I don't know, but judging from the commotion, it must weigh at least twenty or thirty pounds!" Xiao Kai shook his head and said.

"Wow, it's so big? Are you waiting for me to go get it right away?"

Xiao Peng was now completely awake and quickly got up and ran towards the organizer's supplies area.

He didn't ask Xiao Kai if it would be a waste of time, because he knew Xiao Kai wouldn't joke about something like this.

Whether the fish will escape during this period is not within his consideration.

Xiao Peng returned very soon.

He not only brought back the fishing line Xiao Kai wanted, but also two bags of fermented corn and a bag of pellet bait for catching big fish.

This was something Xiao Kai hadn't expected; it has to be said that Xiao Peng was very thoughtful.

"Thanks, Brother Peng!"

Xiao Kai took the items from the other party, thanked them, and eagerly began to assemble the line onto the 7.2-meter threaded steel fishing rod.

After a flurry of activity, Xiao Kai finally finished preparing.

At this moment, unseen by Xiao Peng, two halos, one large and one small, had moved from where the big fish had been to a few meters directly in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai did not hesitate. He picked up the 6.3-meter fishing rod that was still in the water, then casually threw it aside. He then quickly cast the 7.2-meter rebar with bait into the water, which landed right in the center of the small aperture.

In the short time between these two moments, the aperture disappeared for less than two seconds in Xiao Kai's view.

However, Xiao Peng saw a completely different scene.

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?" Xiao Peng wondered.

Little did he know that Xiao Kai didn't want things to turn out this way either.

In other places, he could simply cast the 7.2-meter fishing rod down and then lift the 6.3-meter fishing rod, which would not only prevent the fishing spot from disappearing but also save him from such a busy process.

But that won't work here, because there was a rule before the competition that you can't use two fishing rods at the same time.

Not far behind him was a high-definition camera, and no one knew how effective the organizers' oversight was.

He dared not gamble, so he could only come up with this method to shorten the time it took for the aperture to disappear as much as possible.

If all the big fish get away like this, he'll have no choice but to accept his fate.

Xiao Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief as the 7.2-meter fishing rod successfully lit up the aperture again.

He slowly sat back down at his fishing spot.

Throughout the process, his eyes remained fixed on the luminous float on the water's surface, while his right hand rested on the fishing rod on the platform, seemingly ready to set the hook and catch a fish.

Seeing how much Xiao Kai valued it, Xiao Peng didn't say anything. Instead, he moved a camping chair over and sat behind him, his eyes also fixed on the buoys on the water.

At this moment, he was no longer sleepy.

As a fishing enthusiast, watching big fish catches is far more important than sleeping.

As time passed by, it soon turned midnight.

At this point, the time on the phone had already reached the early morning of December 28th.

A new day has begun.

While everyone else was asleep, Xiao Kai and Xiao Peng were still fishing by the river, braving the biting cold wind.

And so, Xiao Peng and Xiao Kai waited for a full hour, but the buoy on the water's surface remained motionless.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Alright, Xiao Kai, go to sleep. That big fish probably got away!" Xiao Peng patted Xiao Kai on the shoulder and comforted him.

"All right!"

Xiao Kai wasn't a stubborn person. Knowing that there weren't many opportunities at the moment, he didn't force it and immediately decided to pack up and rest.

Just then, the float that had been showing three eyes on the water surface suddenly dipped half a eye. Seeing this, Xiao Kai, who was about to get up, suddenly stopped.

Xiao Peng, who was standing nearby, also noticed the situation and immediately stopped making noise, looking at the water and tensing his muscles instantly.

Just when the two thought the float would continue to sink, it suddenly rose slowly, rising more than one notch, and then stopped moving.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai became even more nervous, his eyes fixed on the float.

He wasn't sure what was going on; it looked like he'd eaten, but he also felt it wasn't enough.

Immediately, Xiao Kai decided to wait a little longer.

A few more seconds passed, and the float moved again.

This time, the action was more decisive; the float sank rapidly and disappeared from the water's surface in an instant.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai did not hesitate at all, and immediately grabbed the handle of the rebar fishing rod and quickly and forcefully lifted the rod.

Waaaaaah~

A tremendous force traveled up the fishing rod and struck Xiao Kai's arm.

Xiao Kai exclaimed in surprise.

"What incredible strength!"
