Lin Yang’s team is currently ranked last among all teams, with only half an hour left in the competition. Time is running out for them.
But oddly enough, even Lin Yang’s fans in the live stream are not too anxious, and are even somewhat expectant.
"I don’t know why, but I have faith in Master Lin. I feel like even with just half an hour left, he has a chance to turn the tide."
"Yes, he’s done similar things more than once. It wouldn’t be surprising for him to do it again."
"There’s still half an hour, and if he catches a Big carp, he could completely turn the tables. Of course, time is really tight, since it takes a considerable amount of time to reel in a Large Crucian Carp. There’s just enough time left to do it."
"That’s right, I once saw Li Damao reel in a Large Crucian Carp weighing over 100 pounds, and it took over two hours just to reel it in. The remaining time simply isn’t enough."
"I don’t ask for much, just catching a Bream for the thrill would be great."
"I don’t quite agree. I think Master Lin making a mistake would be quite the experience too."
"Hahaha, imagining even someone of Master Lin’s level going home empty-handed does strangely balance something in my heart."
"Haha, enjoying the spectacle without worrying about the stakes, I share the same anticipation."
At some point in the live room, the atmosphere suddenly shifted.
Initially, everyone was fully confident in Lin Yang, eagerly hoping he’d catch a fish. Then suddenly, there was a 180-degree turn, and people started hoping he wouldn’t.
It seemed like Lin Yang going home empty-handed would bring more joy to everyone; even the master not catching anything seemed to make the widespread feeling of an empty-handed day more bearable.
While the vast audience held such expectations,
the competition entered the last half-hour countdown, leaving very tight time for catching a big fish.
Normally speaking, no matter how skilled an angler is, if it’s a Bream weighing more than 50 pounds, it’s hard to land it in less than half an hour.
So in the live stream, everyone consistently started spamming the screen with messages about not catching anything, which filled up the screen, creating a unique spectacle.
And during this barrage of messages, Lin Yang suddenly got a bite.
A sudden big float down, clearly indicating a big fish took the bait!
Instantly, there were exclamations of astonishment in the live stream.
Yet Lin Yang remained unflustered, placing his hand on the rod, and lifted it single-handedly.
Whoosh whoosh.
A frenzy of buzzing sounded; the rod in Lin Yang’s hand looked like a dragon trying to break free, struggling and roaring to form a beautiful large arc.
This scene left everyone in the live stream gasping.
Even the cameraman behind Lin Yang was yelling.
"Wow, what is this? Qilin Arm? This fish is definitely not small!"
Up to this point, Lin Yang was still using only one hand.
He was still holding the fishing rod very steadily with one hand, while on the other end, the fishing line in the water shook madly from side to side.
Lin Yang showcased single-handedly reeling in the fish for a while, but eventually, the other hand symbolically gripped the rod.
The cameraman behind him finally exhaled a sigh of relief: "Phew, Master Lin finally is reeling with both hands. If he had kept going single-handedly, my heart couldn’t handle it, it’s simply not human but divine."
From the noise of the fish, the splashes, and the curve of the rod, anyone with keen eyes could see it was definitely a Large Crucian Carp.
But such a Large Crucian Carp, which might easily drag a person and rod into the water, Lin Yang handled with calm and ease with one hand, it was simply astounding.
Luckily, at this moment, he finally held the rod with both hands; although it still seemed very easygoing, it was at least a bit more in line with common sense.
The cameraman behind him had just breathed a sigh of relief and then widened his eyes again.
"What? Master Lin isn’t using both hands! He just switched hands? He’s now using his left hand to reel in the fish with one hand!"
The cameraman was dumbfounded. Such a big fish reeled in with one hand is already outrageous, and yet he had the leisure to switch hands, it was simply inhuman.
Of course, everyone in the live stream also noticed this, and the screen filled with various exclamations and criticisms.
"Wow, this is simply a superhuman feat, so impressive."
"May I ask how many years of being single it takes to reach Master Lin’s level?"
"How many years single? Even the Pharaohs who’ve been single for thousands of years in the pyramids might not be this steadfast."
"It’s truly absurd, and he can still switch hands. Is he performing a trick reeling show?"
"Ridiculous, so much so it defies understanding, home alone unraveled....."
Everyone was utterly speechless at Lin Yang’s single-handed reeling, especially with the switch-hand operation, showcasing so flamboyantly it made one’s scalp tingle.
But after a while, Lin Yang returned to his proper stance, reeling in with both hands.
It seemed he also realized that his single-handed reeling was possibly too extraordinary.
It wasn’t very good for the anglers watching in front of their screens.
As he began reeling with both hands, things seemed more stable, as if it was only a matter of time before the fish would surface.
However, the fish was indeed very large and powerful, remaining submerged and refusing to come up, making all the viewers itch with curiosity.
Everyone wanted to know how big this fish really was, awaiting the answer eagerly.
But seeing him remaining calm and singing while fishing, although fans admired and appreciated him, when someone sent a line in the live stream, ’Master Lin, cut the line.’
The entire live stream seemed to get stirred up, starting to spam with ’cut the line’ in unison.
