Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 537, Zhongli: I! I! I'll endure it!

Jingyuan picked up the teacup, gently blew on the steam, took a small sip, and let out a long breath.

"I see many people fishing by that lake. Would the three of you be interested in going to take a look and do some fishing?"

Zhongli put down his teacup.

"Fishing? Sure."

Huaiyan stroked his beard.

"It's been a long time since I've gone fishing, and I really miss it."

Walter said.

"There used to be a time when I went fishing quite often."

After listening to the three people's opinions, Jingyuan took out four fishing rods.

"Then it's decided. Today, a few of us will go fishing."

Subsequently.

The four men packed up their tea stall, set it up again by the lake, and fished while drinking tea.

soon.

Walter started to bite, and the fishing rod trembled violently. Walter quickly grabbed the rod and pulled hard, and a bream was pulled out of the water.

The mandarin fish wasn't very big, only about the size of a fist, but Walter was quite satisfied. As long as he caught something, that was enough; he was just fishing for fun.

"I've taken the first win, everyone."

Walter happily placed the mandarin fish into his fish basket.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan, Huai Yan, and Zhong Li were all inspired to fight.

My companions have all caught fish, so I need to work harder and catch some as soon as possible.

That's how fishing works; if no one can catch fish, then no one will be worried.

However, whenever someone catches a fish, others will inevitably cast envious glances at them.

Immediately afterwards, Jingyuan and Huaiyan also started catching fish, all of them spotted bream, which are very abundant in the lakes outside Mondstadt.

The flesh of the mandarin fish is delicious and it has very few bones, making it a frequent guest on the dining table in Mondstadt.

Zhongli frowned as he looked at his unresponsive fishing rod.

What's going on? Why isn't my fishing rod making any movement at all?

Soon, Walter, Jingyuan, and Huaiyan caught fish.

Walter also caught a golden dragonfish, which was very ornamental, and he planned to take it back and keep it on the train.

As Zhongli watched the others catch the fish, he grew increasingly anxious.

Finally, his fishing rod trembled slightly, indicating that a fish had taken the bait.

However, Zhongli was not in a hurry. The float fell into the water and quickly rose again. It was obvious that the fish had not bitten the hook yet, but had only bitten the bait.

At this point, you must wait patiently until the fish has completely taken the bait, and then suddenly lift the rod to reel it in.

Patience, patience.

Just as the fish was about to bite the hook, a bouncing bomb suddenly flew from afar and exploded right at Zhongli's hook.

The fish wasn't hit by the frying, but it was startled and scurried away.

Zhongli was instantly furious when he saw Klee, Bailu, and their group of little ones throwing bouncy bombs across the lake.

My fish! You little devils, why did you have to drop bombs when I was about to catch one?! Are you targeting me?
Zhong Li took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Don't get angry, you can't get angry. There's no need to get angry with a child, right? Morax, you are a god, a god who has lived for thousands of years. Haven't gods seen all kinds of storms?

Right? It's just a fish, isn't it? If it's gone, it's gone. You can just bait the spot again and fish again, right?
Zhong Li frantically tried to mentally prepare herself before finally adjusting her mindset.

Zhongli sighed and changed his fishing spot to bait the area again.

This back and forth wasted another ten minutes of his time.

Fortunately, the fishing squad on the other side had already gone far away and were causing trouble in other waters.

at last.

After more than half an hour, Zhongli finally caught his first fish, a tiny fish about the size of his little finger. Zhongli's initial joy quickly turned into sadness.

Catching this kind of fish is worse than not catching it at all. What's the point? It's so small, it's just a waste of time and energy.

Zhongli completely gave up, put his fishing rod down, and sat down at the tea stall to drink tea.

Fishing? I'll just go with the flow. If the fishing rod moves, I'll go and pull it up myself.

Let's turn our attention back to the city.

Barbara, Nel, and Ayaka are giving a promotional presentation in the square in front of the cathedral.

Most of the tourists visiting Mondstadt this time were fans of the trio, who came after seeing their recommendations.

This made many tourists feel very happy, as the place is indeed very nice.

For some reason, this place can calm people down, leaving no trace of sorrow or trouble.

It might be due to the overall environment of Mondstadt; most of the residents of Mondstadt have a hedonistic mindset.

Except for a small number of people, the rest of them are not competitive at all; they are relaxed.

Working overtime is out of the question; the little bar is waiting for me to patronize it tonight.

Qin was very pleased to see Barbara so energetic on stage.

My younger sister has certainly succeeded on the path of becoming an idol.

The two sisters have now developed a very good relationship, and Barbara often goes to have meals with Qin when she is on break.

Although Jean couldn't quite handle the spicy drinks Barbara brought, she would drink them all every time.

Because this was a drink that her younger sister had prepared for her herself.

Qin was engrossed in watching when suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Qin, you're here too."

Qin turned around and saw that it was Toppa and Jade.

Qin responded with a smile.

"Well, I've come to see Barbara's performance. It's been a long time, Toppa and Emerald."

Toppa rubbed Zhang Zhang's big head, which was perched on his shoulder, and smiled.

"Long time no see! Mondstadt is doing very well now. Emerald and I took a walk around and found that you have a lot of tourists for this festival."

Qin smiled.

"This is all thanks to your help. You helped Barbara and the others develop their careers and put them on the stage."

"If it weren't for Barbara, Mondstadt would probably have to spend a fortune on advertising to attract this many tourists."

Jade smiled.

"It was Barbara's own hard work that made her practice singing until very late every day. She had high standards for herself, and she couldn't accept even the slightest flaw in her singing, believing that it meant she hadn't worked hard enough."

What we do is promote the product; what truly retains customers is Barbara's own strength.

I've seen too many celebrities who have been artificially promoted by traffic and capital.

These kinds of celebrities have very high standards for their on-screen presence; if they don't appear on screen for a while, they quickly disappear from public view.

Toppa echoed.

"That's right, Barbara and the others are still the strongest in terms of raw power."

Having a platform but lacking the ability is not enough to achieve anything.

Look at Barbara's fan base; their loyalty is extremely high.

Although not as good as Frynn and Robin.

But it's already among the top tier in its field.

Qin heard this.

"That's enough. Stars like Frynn and Robin aren't people who can achieve this easily."
