Chapter 932: Chapter 393: For the Reward, Buy Fishing Gear and Go Fishing with Old Sun! With Dundun, No Air Force! [Subscription Request]

After eating and drinking their fill, the little ones wandered around the pavilion for a while.

About half an hour later, Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yan finally made their way up the mountain, one after the other.

Both were panting heavily, and as soon as they reached the top, they sat on the steps without any regard for their image, looking as if their bodies had fallen apart from exhaustion.

Lin Xu tore open a packet of chocolate and handed each of them a piece.

After having some sweets, the pair of slackers finally got up from the ground.

Chen Yan started setting ambitious goals again:

"Once we go down the mountain, I’m signing up for a high-end fitness class. I need to work on my body instead of getting exhausted from just climbing a small hill. I’m planning to climb Huangshan with Ren Jie, if not he’ll laugh at me to death, right?"

Zeng Xiaoqi also chimed in:

"Starting today, I’ll eat less and exercise more. No more inviting me for midnight snacks, I’m quitting. Going back to tell Yuanyuan, if she wants to eat, she should do it in her own room, can’t tempt me with food."

Their vows didn’t last long.

For instance, now, Shen Baobao, after hearing them talk, quickly said to Lin Xu:

"How about we have roast lamb tonight? I really love that crispy roasted lamb."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi immediately agreed:

"Sure, I also really like roast lamb."

"Roast more, brother-in-law, I think the essence of roast whole lamb is the roast lamb ribs."

Well...

It’s been less than a minute, and you two couldn’t hold back at all?

After resting enough, everyone went down the mountain together.

At the foot of the mountain, Shen Guofu said:

"Old Tan invited me to play golf, what are your plans?"

Chen Yan said weakly:

"I plan to go to the horse farm with Xiaoqi to feed the horses... Yueyue, are you coming?"

"Not going, I’m spending the weekend with Xubao, Xubao, where should we go later?"

Lin Xu thought about it, according to the previous system prompts, the area within the fifth ring road is impossible to enter, so how about wandering around a random attraction in the suburb?

But it seems Dundun doesn’t really like attractions.

What good pastime activities are there in the outskirts?

Thinking about it, suddenly, the image of old Sun came to mind.

Oh yeah, fishing!

Compared to other activities, fishing really passes the time, and Dundun can experience the joy of hunting.

Thinking of this, he said:

"I’m planning to find Grandpa Sun to go fishing. Dundun was trying to hunt squirrels on the mountain just now, I stopped it. How about catching a few crucian carp for it to play with?"

"Sure, I’ve fished many times but never caught anything. What do we need to prepare?"

Seeing the young couple not returning to the city, Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi got in Shen Guofu’s car and left.

After Bentley left, Lin Xu took out his phone and called old Sun:

"Grandpa Sun, did you go fishing today... Oh, been fishing for two hours already? Can you send me your location? I plan to learn fishing from you, and catch some small fish for Dundun."

Old Sun was excited to hear Lin Xu wanted to learn fishing and said:

"Sure, come on over. I’m by a small creek, just follow the navigation to get here. It’s very easy to find. Do you have all the fishing gear? Float, fishing line, rod, fish hook, lead weight, support pole, scoop net, fish basket..."

He rattled on about the equipment, making Lin Xu dizzy, so he simply said:

"Got it all ready, wait for me, I’ll be right there!"

He searched for nearby fishing tackle shops, drove over, and bought a full set of fishing gear based on the owner’s recommendations, even bought a sun umbrella and chairs.

Though he might just be a fisherman for today, the equipment had to be complete.

After today, I’ll be a proud fisherman.

Lin Xu knew nothing about fishing, but a competent angler is also skilled in everything related to fishing, and Lin Xu is good at cooking, which meets the basic requirement of an angler.

Hmm, when it comes to doing things unrelated to one’s profession, we’re the professionals here!

After buying everything, the shopkeeper enthusiastically taught Lin Xu how to bait the hook, change the line, and even gave him a box of live worms.

For Lin Xu, the rest was difficult, but preparing the bait was no problem. Isn’t it just mixing several baits into a sticky dough?

That’s my field of expertise.

"Xubao, what if we can’t catch any fish? Should we buy a couple to take back?"

Lin Xu laughed when he heard this.

Didn’t expect the well-behaved Baobao to be a hidden fishing expert, mastering the advanced skill of buying fish if you can’t catch any.

Lin Xu pointed to Dundun who was looking out the car window from the back seat, and said:

"With Dundun here, there’s no fish we can’t catch."

As long as Dundun maxes out its luck, not just fishing, even catching a blue whale in the ocean would be possible.

Following the navigation, turning left and right, he finally reached the small creek where old Sun often fished.

Not far from the creek is a village, the endpoint of a rural bus route. Old Sun comes here to fish, taking the earliest bus every day.

By the creek, Lin Xu drove along the river bank for a while, and saw old Sun waving at him from the roadside.

He parked by the side, opened the door and got out of the car.

"How is it going, Grandpa Sun, how many have you caught?"

"No bites yet. After it gets cold, fish become active around noon. I just made a nest again, planning to fish with two rods at noon, long rod for big fish, short rod for small fish. The sun is out today, surface wind is about level three, oxygen capacity is good, pressure is fine, water temperature is over ten degrees, maybe it’ll be a double harvest."

This left Lin Xu bewildered.

Are anglers now studying professional data like pressure, water temperature, and oxygen capacity?

Old Sun asked:

"What about your fishing gear? Let me take a look."

Lin Xu opened the trunk and took out a fishing bag larger than a guitar case.

Old Sun checked each item:

"This brand isn’t good, poor quality, overly promoted by fake reviews, the hooks aren’t great either, and the line set... don’t buy these complete sets, they aren’t tied securely, easy to cut lines, hand-tied ones are sturdier."

Lin Xu felt like a grade-school student in high school, finding everything confusing.

While Shen Baobao was even more puzzled, isn’t fishing supposed to be a leisure activity?

Why is it more meticulous than Lele’s experiments?

Lin Xu laughed and said:

"We’re just here to let Dundun play. It’s always cooped up in the shop, almost getting pet Yuyu syndrome."

After unloading all the fishing gear, locked the car, and followed old Sun to the creekside.

The water surface was about four or five meters wide, with a few anglers on both sides, but all quite spaced apart.

Finding a spot that didn’t disturb other anglers, Lin Xu quickly set up the equipment. Just as he was about to put the fish basket in the water, old Sun said:

"Young Lin, don’t you know? You can’t put down the fish basket if you haven’t caught any fish, can’t use the scoop net either, or there won’t be any fish, fishing requires a lot of attention."

Lin Xu said as he continued his work:

"No problem, we’re just having fun, if we don’t catch any fish, then so be it, just consider it feeding the fish."

He prepared all the gear, while Shen Baobao set up a tripod from the car nearby and started shooting a VLOG, as they were out, they should make the most of today.

Lin Xu had set up the bait, without even making a nest, just hooked the bait to the rod and threw it out.

With someone familiar visiting for fishing, old Sun didn’t watch his own rods, and took a smoke while softly teaching Lin Xu some fishing techniques.

While talking, he noticed Lin Xu’s float moving, then suddenly sinking.

Wait...

Did it just bite?

"Young Lin, quickly, there’s a fish, lift the rod..."

He grabbed the scoop net and waited at the side, full of disbelief.

Catching a fish just after throwing the hook, this isn’t scientifically right!
