I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 55 Even More Buzzing

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:
"what's the situation?"

"Why is the live stream on again?"

"Doesn't Qi Shen only broadcast two episodes a day?"

"Did something good happen? Duan Xiaoqi is making a comeback today?"

"Could it be that this was specifically made to broadcast his fishing process?"

"Something's not right. Didn't you guys notice that Qi Shen didn't greet us at all from beginning to end?"

"He didn't even look at the camera, acting as if he had no idea someone was filming him!"

"Damn! Could it be a hidden camera? How come he didn't notice us at such close range?!"

"I'm so worried! Qi Shen, look around! Someone's taking pictures of you!"

"What's the big deal about taking secret photos? They didn't capture any privacy, did they?"

"Are you out of your mind? You didn't even notice being filmed at such close range. What if they attacked? Do you think Qi Shen could escape?"

……

The netizens were slightly panicked for a moment, but quickly regained their composure.

Even if they worry, it's all in vain; they can't help at all. Just like the floating continent, everyone is worried that it will fall, but life still goes on as usual.

And while it was indeed a clandestine filming, it was still just a clandestine filming.

Aside from the filming itself, there were no other issues involved. The camerawork, color coordination, and composition skills were top-notch; even the world's best photographers would probably find it difficult to achieve this level.

Over time, netizens temporarily put aside their worries and focused their attention on the scene.

"Qi Shen can actually fish?"

"Whether he can fish or not is unknown, but his skill in making fishhooks is unparalleled."

"Good grief, you've been fishing and stealing food behind everyone's back, haven't you?"

"Fish! Fish! Holy crap, there are so many fish in this river!" The fisherman was overjoyed!

"Haha, they've broken free. Looks like Qi Shen isn't good at everything after all."

"He's baited the hook again!"

"His fishing line got bitten through again!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! There are so many fish, but we can't catch a single one."

……

Seeing Qi Xuan struggling to catch any fish on the shore, netizens were almost laughing hysterically.

Humans, in particular, enjoy watching videos of their fellow human beings experiencing misfortune; online compilations of various misfortunes consistently garner an astonishing number of views.

Not to mention that Qi Xuan was the one who repeatedly failed to catch fish this time.

Compared to his domineering kill of the round-striped leech in the forest not long ago, Qi Xuan, who is now fishing and almost has a red face, feels more approachable and down-to-earth to netizens.

To sum it up in one sentence—hahaha, you've finally met your match, huh?
However, Qi Xuan, who was always adaptable, quickly began to change his tactics.

We can't catch it.

Then I won't go fishing.

Let's just catch fish.

He immediately began weaving fish baskets and fish traps.

I must say, their skills are quite good.

While its appearance may not be the most exquisite, it certainly looks very practical.

Under normal circumstances, it should be possible to catch fish.

however……

The fish were being put into the cage.

Watching the bait inside being eaten, watching the fish dart around underwater like a machine gun, even smashing and biting through the trap.

Qi Xuan was completely dumbfounded.

Netizens were laughing so hard they were convulsing:
"I can't take it anymore, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts."

"Oh no! I just had plastic surgery this morning!"

"I was laughing so hard I almost burst out laughing."

"Can you imagine how desperate I must have felt to burst out laughing in front of everyone in the funeral hall?"

"Isn't it even more despairing to hear laughter coming from inside a coffin?"

"Damn, this joke is too hellish."

……

Afterwards, Qi Xuan made many more attempts but still failed to catch any fish. As it got dark, he left the river, and his live-streaming studios all over the world suddenly disappeared.

But even after the live stream disappeared, netizens remained unsatisfied and flocked to social media platforms, sparking heated discussions.
"That's ridiculous. How can catching a fish be so difficult?"

"Logically speaking, Qi Shen's combat power is no match for ordinary people, so how could he be toyed with like this by a group of fish?"

"Calm down, calm down. It's just fishing. It's normal to be outmaneuvered."

"I've said it before, a fisherman can catch anything except fish, and in a way, Qi Shen has proven that saying true."

"I've already recorded the live stream, so I'll have an excuse even if I can't catch any fish in the future. Even Qi Shen can't catch any, so it's normal for me to not be able to either!"

"Haha, at least I'm a bit better than Qi Shen. I even caught one last night."

……

Besides the discussions among netizens, many anglers also posted pictures of their catches, including freshwater fish, saltwater fish, herbivorous fish, and carnivorous fish, ranging in size from a few kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, almost dazzling the eyes.

Especially the fishing association members, they kept posting pictures of the catch.

Chu Jinghe, the chairman of the association, posted a picture of a 400-kilogram bluefin tuna, along with the following text:
"Although Qi Xuan is very good at fighting, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Getting a perfect score in math doesn't mean you can get a perfect score in English. Every field has its own barriers. He is good at fighting, but fishing is clearly not his forte."

I saw a lot of fallacies in the live stream just now, it was really appalling. Fishing is not something you can just do by casting a line. Even if you set a trap, it's not so easy to catch fish.

If you had just studied fishing techniques a little, you wouldn't be unable to catch a single fish; you need to practice more.

"Once you're out, you can come to me for some advice. Aside from anything else, I have a lot of experience in fishing."

Upon seeing this post, many association members left comments:
"It's really lucky to be able to receive guidance from Chairman Chu."

"Yes, I can still remember Chairman Chu's amazing catch at sea last year, a 200-kilogram sunfish. An ordinary person probably couldn't even drag it."

"200 kilograms is nothing. Our Chairman Chu's record is 450 kilograms. He's a top-notch expert in the world. Even just being able to observe him would be a huge benefit, let alone getting his guidance."

"Qi Xuan really should thank Chairman Chu. Chairman Chu doesn't usually teach people."

……

Seeing that string of flattery, Qi Xuan's fans couldn't hold back any longer:

"Is this really a fishing association or a bootlicking association?"

"Why teach fishing? Wouldn't it be better to teach flattery? This skill is clearly superior to fishing."

"I just want to ask, did our Qi Shen actually say he wanted to learn how to fish? Why are you all showing off like this?"

"What era are we living in? Still using that master-disciple teaching system? Can't you find information online to learn how to fish? Do you really think it's some kind of secret manual?"

"It's truly rare to see someone so arrogant and condescending. Are you used to throwing your weight around in your little circle? Can you tone it down in public?"

……

After Qi Xuan's fans quickly rallied, their fighting power increased dramatically. The association members were so overwhelmed by the criticism that they all retreated and even deleted their accounts on the spot.

But Chu Jinghe was clearly used to being fawned over, and the fans' mockery only angered him.

After disabling comments, he posted a new thread:
"No matter how much buzzing there is, will it help him catch fish?"
