All of a sudden, the comments started to tease him.
Chen Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry." It's not necessary, really. Fishing is just a pastime when I'm bored. Isn't luck a big part of this?”
"Perhaps it's because I succeeded in praying for rain for the villagers today that I'm exceptionally lucky!”
"Therefore, I use my personal experience to advise everyone to do more good deeds! Good people would definitely be rewarded!!”
"Aiya, Little Chen, aren't you being too ridiculous? Can this be explained by luck?" Li Chengshan couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right. In just an hour, he managed to fish four to five fish consecutively. Moreover, two of them were wild shad fish and one was a Blade Fish!”Old Feng's bullet screen was also very excited.
They were all fanatics of fishing. They were willing to sit for an entire day just to fish. Fishing had a natural charm that could immerse many anglers.
Some fishermen would rather starve or be exposed to the sun in order to fish. Now that he had met a fishing god like Daoist Priest Little Chen, he had to express his feelings of worship!!!
Chen Yun was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to explain it. Using the so-called merit as a cover was really not credible.
He thought to himself that he did seem to be a little too high-profile. This was not good.
Therefore, he could only use ordinary bait instead of the high-level bait given by the system.
As expected, no fish took the bait for more than ten minutes. After a while, the fishing rod trembled slightly, but there was no follow-up.
Fishing enthusiasts all understood that the fish had already eaten the bait, but it had not taken the bait.
Some fish were smart enough to avoid the hook and get caught by the bait, so fishing was not an easy task.
Seeing this scene, the bullet screen gradually became less excited and envious. They began to believe his previous words. It turned out that he was just lucky.
At the same time, the sky was getting darker and darker.
It was getting late, and it was more or less troublesome to ride a motorcycle through the countryside at night, so he decided to catch another fish and go home.
So far, the fish he had caught was enough for him to have a good taste for the next few days.
Chen Yun put the high-grade bait on the hook again and then easily threw the hook.
Chen Yun never expected that the fish he caught this time would cause a huge sensation in the live broadcast room!!
Li Chengshan had also harvested a bucket full of fish. Although the economic value or taste was far inferior to the fish that Chen Yun had caught, he was still very satisfied.
After all, he was a Taoist priest who could summon the wind and rain. How could he be compared to a mortal like him?
"I've been fishing since nine o'clock in the morning. I'll go back first. Other than making fish today, I'll also eat crayfish.？”
"My kid has always been looking forward to living in a Taoist temple. He wants to learn the Dao. After hearing about your deeds today, he probably worships you even more!!”
Li Chengshan put away his fishing rod and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, the so-called 'Tao technique' is nothing more than swinging the sword and doing Tai Chi to strengthen the body.”
"Uncle Li, thank you for your kindness. I still have some arrangements tonight, so I won't be going.”
"Alright then, goodbye, Taoist Priest Little Chen.”
Li Chengshan carried the plastic bucket and placed the fishing rod and other items on another motorcycle parked not far away. He was ready to leave on the motorcycle.
However, at this moment, something happened!!!
A few minutes had passed since Chen Yun threw down the fishing rod and chatted with Uncle Li for a while, but no fish had taken the bait.
Just as Li Chengshan was about to leave, the fishing rod began to tremble abnormally violently.
He took the bait!
This attracted Li Chengshan's attention again. Curiosity prompted him to stay for a while and see what kind of fish it was.
Moreover, looking at the intensity of the shaking of the fishing rod, it was probably another big fish!
"Damn, Daoist Priest Little Chen! This luck is amazing!"
"Pull the lever, Daoist Priest!"
"Wow, what big fish is it this time?”
The fans started to cheer.
Chen Yun began to pull the rod back. He realized that the pulling force of the fish was not small. Even he would need to spend some effort. However, if he wanted to resist this fish, it would be easy.
At this moment, the fishing rod had already bent into a 180-degree arc!!
"Eh? What kind of fish did he catch! He looks quite big!" Chen Yun praised as he slowly pulled back the pole.
The audience and Li Chengshan were also waiting anxiously.
He even asked if he should help Chen Yun pull the lever, but Chen Yun smiled and said,""No need, no need, Uncle Li. I alone am enough.”
In the end, although it took a little more effort than before, Chen Yun still easily caught the whole fish.
When he saw the fish he had caught, there was a trace of surprise, bewilderment, and disbelief in his eyes!!
The fish looked rather strange. Its body was spindle-shaped, with a long snout on its head and four whiskers in front of its mouth....
The fish was indeed huge. It struggled crazily on the fishing rod. Chen Yun took a closer look and saw that it was about 40 centimeters long. Its head was very sharp and its back was black.
Suddenly, he was shocked. A guess suddenly appeared in his heart, but he was still not sure.
"What kind of fish is this?"
The audience was also curious.
"I don't know him. He looks very good.”
"Wait, this can't be..."
"Are you kidding me? It can't be?"
"F * ck, f * ck! If it's really that kind of fish, streamer, quickly set it free!!”
"Previous poster, stop being a riddle maker. Tell me what fish this is.？”
"What are you guys talking about?”
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Chen Yun's mind.
"Ding! Detected that the host has caught an endangered rare species for the first time. Reward: Animal Encyclopedia!"
[Animal Encyclopedia: Able to obtain detailed information about all animals on the blue planet.]
This skill was too coincidental!!!
"I know! This, this is the Yangtze River sturgeon!"
"F * ck? Really?"
"It should be right!"
Seeing this, Li Chengshan also hurried over. He carefully examined it for a moment, and his expression changed."Oh my God, I think I really caught a Yangtze River sturgeon!!”
"As we all know, there are two kinds of wild sturgeons living in the natural waters of our country. One is the Chinese sturgeon; The second type was the Yangtze River sturgeon, both of which were protected fish. However,"
He hesitated for a moment."" I've seen similar cases before. I have a fellow villager who once caught a 'Yangtze sturgeon' in the Han River, but it's actually not the Yangtze sturgeon unique to our country. It's a hybrid product of Siberian sturgeon and Amur sturgeon.”
"This kind of Western mixed sturgeon was actually artificially bred and accidentally escaped into the waters of the Yangtze River basin. Therefore, this kind of fish is not a state-protected animal and can be eaten and caught.”
Li Chengshan analyzed the situation, but after pondering for a moment, he still shook his head.
"But I'm not too sure either, because I've only heard of this case in all my years of fishing, not to mention seeing a white sturgeon. The last time I saw it was many years ago, so I've almost forgotten."
At this moment, the comments were also full of controversy.
"F * ck, streamer, be careful. I think it's best to set them free. If they're really Yangtze River white sturgeons or Chinese sturgeons, that's illegal!!! This was a giant panda in the water, a first-class protected animal!”
"Yes, yes!"
"But why do I feel that it doesn't look like it? In July 2022, the " King of Freshwater Fish in China ", the Yangtze White Sturgeon, was officially declared extinct by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. It shouldn't be, right?"
"D * mn, it's an extinct species. Awesome!!”
" Aquatic Old Feng: F * ck, awesome!! I've looked at it for a long time, and I also think it's just an ordinary western sturgeon, right?？But even so, the streamer is very awesome, so there shouldn't be too much to worry about."
"F * ck, if he really caught a Chinese sturgeon, then the streamer is too awesome!!!”
"I'm really impressed! What kind of luck is the host having today!"
"Hey, upstairs, it's hard to say if you'll be a fish in prison. Don't talk nonsense!”
At this moment, Chen Yun activated her skill and saw the information of this fish.
" Chinese sturgeon: It's a fish from the class of bony fishes and the family of sturgeons. It was the largest fish in China's Yangtze River, so it was called the " Yangtze River Fish King."”
"The Chinese sturgeon has a long life cycle, and the longest lifespan can reach 40 years old. It was China's first-class protected wild animal and a living fossil. It was also known as the " underwater giant panda."”
"So it's really a Chinese sturgeon. No wonder it's so big!!”
Chen Yun thought in his heart. He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air and sigh.
He then searched on Baidu and found that there were many of them in China, but it seemed that they could only be seen in the Yangtze River. It was also listed as an extremely endangered species by the International Union of Natural Sciences (IOU), and it was also classified as a Class 1 protected species in China.
Once the Chinese sturgeon was caught, it would have a fatal effect and could even be imprisoned!
He glanced at Li Chengshan, who he thought was a Western Sturgeon, and smiled confidently.""No, Uncle Li, this is not a Western Sturgeon. This is a real fish that can sit in prison, the Chinese Sturgeon!!”
Xiao Chen, are you sure?"
Li Chengshan stared at him with wide eyes.
"We usually look at its appearance. First, we look at its nose. The nose is usually more pointed. Second, we look at its bone plate. The bone plate is usually reversed. If you touch it, it will hurt your hand. If it has these two characteristics, then it is. Unfortunately, it doesn't have either.”
" And to be honest," Chen Yun said with confidence," I've seen specimens of Chinese sturgeons when I visited aquarium related museum before. They're exactly the same as this!"! That's why I'm so sure!"
"Wow, I didn't expect the Taoist priest to be so knowledgeable.？”
"'Aquatic Old Feng ': Damn, I feel like the streamer knows more than me, who has been in the aquatic industry for many years. I'm impressed and ashamed of my inferiority!!”...
"That's awesome. What else does the host not understand?!”
"But to be able to catch a Chinese sturgeon, now that I think about it, it's really a dream.”
"This fish is really big and beautiful!”
"Streamer, quickly release the fish, hahaha!”
Immediately after, Chen Yun had already plucked the Chinese sturgeon from the fishing rod.
"Goodbye."
Chen Yun smiled and threw the Chinese sturgeon into the river.
The Chinese sturgeon soared into the air for a short while before diving into the river. Finally, it looked at Chen Yun as if it was expressing its gratitude!!
As the water surface rippled with bubbles, it disappeared.
Immediately after, Chen Yun said to the netizens in the live broadcast room,"Everyone, remember, some fish must not be caught. If he accidentally caught it, the best way was to set it free. This way, we can be safe."
"There was a case in the past. A fisherman in Chongqing caught a Chinese sturgeon. Although it was worth 300,000 yuan, it was still a national first-class protected animal. He didn't release them but brought them home to raise them. In the end, he was found to have committed a serious crime. According to the law, he should be sentenced to five to ten years in prison and fined!!“
"Fortunately, he turned himself in in time, and the Chinese sturgeon was still alive in the end. Otherwise, his sentence would have started at five years. Therefore, the majority of fishing friends must be careful!”
"No matter what, it's not too much to increase our protection. As everyone can see, after so many years, the Chinese sturgeon is still a first-class protected species in our country. Even the national treasure giant panda has been downgraded, but the Chinese sturgeon has not. This means that it may become extinct at any time!”
"And did you know? The top predators of the Yangtze River were almost gone. The white fin dolphin and the white sturgeon were extinct, and there were less than 1,000 Chinese sturgeons. There are less than a thousand finless porpoises."
"The Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world, has less than four thousand big fish.。。。There are many Ganges fish that we laugh at next door. The number of large fish was also very impressive.”
"There are many large fish in the Nile River and Amazon River. Our Yangtze River can be said to be the worst among these rivers. Every time they thought of this, everyone would more or less feel that it was a pity!!”
"Wow, wow, wow, Taoist priest, you're too good!! Call for the Taoist priest!"
"This is the Taoist priest's plan! Thank you, Taoist priest, for your contribution to the promotion and protection of the Chinese sturgeon!”
"However, I still can't help but sigh. Daoist Priest's luck is too good, haha. He can even catch a Chinese sturgeon!”
"Awesome!"
"Daoist Priest is right!"
"I've really seen the world today. Daoist Priest Little Chen is really a treasure streamer!! I love you, I love you!"
Seeing that he had set them free, Li Chengshan was stunned. He smiled awkwardly."Ahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Little Chen. I was stupid, haha. I almost persuaded you to bring the fish back and caused you to go to jail. I even swore that it was a Western Sturgeon. I'm really sorry, Daoist Priest Little Chen!”
"How about this, to express my apology, you can take this bucket of fish!”
"Hahaha, it's okay, Uncle Li. In the future, if you catch similar fish, you must be careful to distinguish them. You can't make a conclusion easily!”
Chen Yun laughed out loud." As for this bucket of fish, there's no need for it. The fish I caught is enough to eat, haha. Uncle Li, it's getting late today. Shall we part ways?"”
"Alright, let's go fishing next time!”
Immediately after, Chen Yun packed up his fishing rod, bench, and other items and prepared to ride his motorcycle back with a full load.
On his way back, the aftermath of this incident on the Internet had not dissipated.
Although the Chinese sturgeon caught by Chen Yun had been released, photos and videos of the Chinese sturgeon had also been posted online by fans. After the photos and videos were uploaded online, they attracted the attention of netizens and staff.
After the relevant experts compared the photos and videos, they found that the sturgeon caught by Chen Yun was indeed a Chinese sturgeon!!!
Therefore, the relevant official Weibo also expressed praise for his propaganda of science and the concept of protecting endangered animals. Some media even wanted to contact Chen Yun for an interview, including the rain incident in the morning and the catching of the Chinese sturgeon in the afternoon!
Of course, at this moment, Chen Yun was still unaware of the waves of public opinion. He only knew that the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room had reached a terrifying 150,000.
By the time they returned to the temple, it was already around 6:30 p. m. and the sky was gradually darkening.
The bullet screen was still discussing the matter of Chen Yun catching the Chinese sturgeon today. However, from time to time, some passers-by would come in and ask curiously about the rain praying ceremony in the morning.
When Chen Yun returned the motorcycle to his fellow villager and was about to go up the mountain to return to the Taoist temple, he suddenly realized something and stopped.
"What's going on?"
The audience was surprised.
