The reason why Ye Chen was so confident was naturally because the system's notification had come.
The moment Ye Chen made his declaration, he immediately attracted the attention of the group of fishing pros on the shore and the fans in the live stream room.
One had to know that Ye Chen's prediction from the previous night had been perfect.
As long as Ye Chen said when he would catch something, he would definitely catch it when the time was due.
And this time, it would probably be no exception.
For a moment, many onlookers were already counting the time, ready to watch a good show.
As for the live stream room, it was even more lively.
At this moment, the number of viewers in Ye Chen's live stream had reached more than 300,000.
Initially, there were already quite a number of comments on the screen. After Ye Chen's bold declaration, the comments section became even more densely filled with comments and flickered quickly on the screen.
"It's starting, it's starting. The streamer is finally going to show his skills. Everyone, watch closely how the streamer uses metaphysics to fish."
"The streamer is indeed something. His predictions always come true. Last night, the streamer said that he would fish up a giant creature worth at least six figures in two hours. In the end, he caught a corpse, and the family of the deceased offered a reward of 200,000, which is six figures!"
"I was there last night too. The streamer even talked about the weight. He said that he would catch a huge thing that weighed more than 60 kilograms. Needless to say, the corpse of an adult man is probably more than 60 kilograms!"
"To the new viewers in the live stream room, didn't someone ask the streamer and this group of old men why the fish bait box next to their feet is an urn? This is all part of metaphysics! On the surface, the streamer is a fishing pro who can't catch any fish, but he's really a magic arts priest who knows magic arts. Now, everyone, please open your eyes and watch the streamer's performance!"
"It's only six minutes. Everyone, look carefully. It'll definitely shock you!"
"Mr. Ye, tell me quickly. What will you catch this time? How heavy is it?"
...
Before Ye Chen could say anything, the old fans in the live stream room were already bragging on Ye Chen's behalf.
Meanwhile, the new viewers in the live stream room were extremely excited.
After all, most of the people currently watching the stream had visited after hearing the news of Ye Chen fishing a corpse by the river in Jiang City the previous night.
Nearing ten o'clock, the popularity of Ye Chen's live stream room continued to rise. At the same time, more and more people had watched Ye Chen's live stream from the previous night.
If Ye Chen's fishing of the corpse was a coincidence, science could not explain it. After all, Ye Chen had predicted in advance that he was about to catch a giant creature, calculated that the value would be at least six figures, and also estimated that it would weigh over 60 kilograms.
Furthermore, nobody expected the giant creature to turn out to be a corpse.
With the horrifying surprise, Ye Chen's outrageously accurate predictive abilities, and Ye Chen's weird knack for fishing anything but a fish, Ye Chen's live stream footage that showed him catching a corpse was super viral.
However, a recorded stream was still a recorded stream, and it was far less exciting and real than a live stream.
So, the audience in the live stream room couldn't wait to start timing six minutes.
In the comments section, most of the people were counting down.
"5 minutes and 1 second."
"4 minutes and 59 seconds."
"4 minutes and 58 seconds."
...
Soon, the comments section started counting down the final seconds, waiting to witness a miracle just like what countless old fans had said they would.
Meanwhile, on the shore, Liao Xuexue's sweet face was filled with disbelief.
Normally, when it came to fishing, wasn't the kind of fish one could catch completely random?
How could there be someone who would predict in advance what fish he would catch?
What was even more ridiculous was that she seemed to be the only surprised one.
The fishing pros around seemed used to Mr. Ye's ability to predict his catches.
Not only did no one question him, but quite a few people were asking him about his prediction.
"Mr. Ye, how heavy will the thing you catch this time be?"
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Ye, why are you doing it again? You will probably catch a fish this time, right?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a fish or not. I just want to know how much the thing Mr. Ye caught is worth. If it's like before, then we can get Mr. Ye to treat us again!"
...
Even Liao Xuexue's grandfather, Mr. Liao, snorted. "Hehe, it's already been more than an hour, and you're just only about to get your first catch. What's there to be proud of? Besides, it's hard to say if you can catch a fish!"
"Tsk tsk. At the end of the day, fishing is fishing. How can he catch a fish after six minutes just because he says so?" thought Mr. Liao.
For a moment.
Liao Xuexue suddenly noticed a pile of ashes on the shore.
She suddenly thought of the scene of Mr. Ye burning incense sticks and papers by the shore.
Could that be the metaphysics her grandfather was referring to?
The next second, Ye Chen, indignant at Mr. Liao's provocation, said, "Tsk, tsk, I really have nothing to be proud of. But I'm about to catch a big carp that's at least 20 centimeters long and weighs 1.92 kilograms! This kind of big carp is not ordinary. It can definitely be considered a giant!"
Indeed, such a body length and weight were definitely considered a giant among carps at Seyves Reservoir.
Meanwhile, Liao Xuexue was even more surprised.
Could it be that Ye Chen could even predict the length and weight of the fish?
Moreover, Ye Chen seemed to be full of confidence in his foresight.
Ye Chen said to Mr. Liao provocatively, "Mr. Liao, do you want to make another bet?"
"Get lost!" Mr. Liao seemed to be very resistant to the bet and directly cursed.
"If you don't want to bet, then don't." Ye Chen pursed his lips, then turned to Liao Xuexue. "Why don't you make a bet with me?"
Liao Xuexue blinked her watery eyes and asked in confusion, "Eh? What bet?"
Ye Chen smiled brightly. "I'll bet that I'll catch... something within six minutes. Let's see if the thing I've caught is 20 centimeters long and as heavy as 1.92 kilograms."
Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, Mr. Liao seemed to have gone crazy as he shouted without caring about his image, "F*ck! Xuexue, you... Don't you bet with him!"
