Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 33 Fishing Old Yao

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Xiao Kai, who had just put the fish he had caught into the net, turned around and saw the uncle holding an action camera and filming him. He couldn't help but feel curious.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed and explained, "It's nothing, just a quick record. I'm planning to post it on my short video account later. If you mind, I'll blur it out!"

"Oh? Is this uncle a fishing blogger?"

Xiao Kai immediately became interested and looked over with some surprise.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, upon closer inspection, the man seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Looking at his outfit, he really does look like a fishing influencer.

Unexpectedly, this uncle was a freelance journalist; he was only the second person he had met in his life who worked in this field.

The first person was Zhan Xinyue. Xiao Kai found out about her during their blind date yesterday, but he didn't know her account name and didn't ask.

Xiao Peng seemed to have been preparing to develop in this direction a long time ago, but for some reason he gave up later.

Besides, this uncle was the first person Xiao Kai had ever truly come into contact with who worked in the field of free media.

Xiao Kai is still very interested in free media.

He knew very well that, currently, short videos and live streaming are very profitable.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have bothered to learn about this, since given his circumstances at the time, he didn't have much to film.

But things are different now. With his cheat-like abilities, he'll only get better and better at fishing.

In that case, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to become a fishing blogger; he might even be able to make a fortune from it.

He just didn't have the connections before; he only had the idea but hadn't put it into practice.

However, now that he has met a professional, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity to get to know them up close.

Seeing Xiao Kai's curious expression, the uncle told him his ID name.

Upon learning the uncle's ID, Xiao Kai forgot all about fishing and quickly took out his phone to search for the other party's account on Douyin.

Xiao Kai found him very quickly.

Believe it or not, this uncle is actually an internet celebrity with tens of thousands of followers.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Kai realized why he felt he had seen the video somewhere before; he had indeed come across it.

I just didn't see it often enough, and the uncle in the video used a lot of beauty filters to look much younger, so I didn't notice it.

"Fishing Old Yao, is your surname Yao?"

Looking at the other person's ID, Xiao Kai couldn't help but ask.

The uncle nodded.

"Yes, my real name is Yao Guan. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Yao, or Brother Guan, or even Old Yao if you really don't like it. But please don't call me 'Uncle,' I'm only 56 years old!"

Xiao Kai was stunned for a moment. What else could you call someone who's 56 if not an uncle? He's almost as old as his father.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Yao! My name is Xiao Kai, you can call me Xiao Kai or Xiao Xiao."

"Alright!"

The latter nodded in satisfaction, at least it sounded better than calling him "uncle".

Xiao Kai continued watching some videos that the other party had filmed.

As he looked around, he suddenly realized that the comments section seemed to be going a bit off-topic.

For example, why do people call him "Old Wang" instead of "Old Yao" in the comments section?

Some even directly call him "Old Wang next door"?

What's going on here?

Does he also have the same vices as Cao Cao?

This piqued Xiao Kai's curiosity.

I felt it wasn't appropriate to ask the person in question, since we weren't that close, and asking would seem presumptuous.

In the end, he could only bury his curiosity and decided to go back to the comments section of his video to find the answer.

If all goes as expected, it should appear in some of the earlier videos.

Xiao Kai watched several videos in a row before stopping.

At this moment, Yao Guan returned to his seat and continued fishing.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai also suppressed his curiosity, put down his phone, and returned to fishing mode.

Soon, another minute or so passed, and with a whoosh, Xiao Kai lifted his rod and hooked another fish.

"Sure enough, fishing isn't hard as long as you find the right method!"

Feeling the familiar pull from the fishing rod, Xiao Kai felt satisfied, but couldn't help thinking...

With his skillful handling, he quickly and successfully brought the fish ashore.

Then he changed the bait again and cast it into the book once more.

Not long after, as the float dipped again, Xiao Kai lifted the rod and hooked a fish once more.

It seems that from this moment on, Xiao Kai has once again rediscovered the feeling of having a burst of power in the game.

One, two, three, and more and more.

They would occasionally have a double flight.

As Xiao Kai's movements became faster and faster, and he caught more and more fish, he seemed to gradually find the rhythm of playing fish with a thin line, and his efficiency in reeling in the fish became faster and faster.

In less than an hour, Xiao Kai's catch was almost as good as Yao Guan's.

Upon seeing this, Yao Guan, who had noticed the situation earlier, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

If he hadn't known the situation, he would have suspected that Xiao Kai was just joking with him.

How can a novice learn to fish so quickly?

He only adjusted the float and suggested the other person change the bait, how come it had such a significant effect?

The efficiency of the fishing made him feel as if there were countless fish lined up below, constantly being caught.

After much thought, he could only attribute this situation to the effect of the newbie aura.

After all, in his view, this was the only explanation, and also the most reasonable one.

Before we knew it, time flew by, and it was noon.

As the fog dissipated, the water temperature began to rise gradually under the sun's occasional peeks through the clouds.

Xiao Kai could clearly feel that the fish were eating at a slower pace.

Until the very end, there was no further activity for a long time.

Xiao Kai simply put down his fishing rod, walked to the fishing gear he had brought, and took out a box of self-heating rice from a plastic bag he had brought.

"Brother Yao, how about we order some together?"

Xiao Kai shook the self-heating rice in his hand and asked Yao Guan, who was still fishing nearby.

Yao Guan turned his head and glanced at it.

When she saw the self-heating rice in Xiao Kai's hand, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she refused.

"No, thank you. I don't like that food!"

Xiao Kai assumed the other person had brought food, so he didn't think much of it and opened the package, then skillfully began to operate it.

In no time, he had prepared the self-heating rice.

As steam rose, the self-heating rice began to heat up.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai took out his phone with satisfaction and sat down to start watching short videos.

At the same time, while Xiao Kai was watching videos, Yao Guan, who was next to him, also stopped fishing and took out a box of moderate size from the things he had brought.

He first put the box aside, then went to the riverbank and picked up his fish basket.

Immediately following was a series of splashing sounds as fish jumped out of the water, which echoed all around. Xiao Kai, who was scrolling through videos, couldn't help but look over when he heard the sound.
