Fishing (Master Level)

If there is anything that can make young people willingly get up early, it is definitely fishing.

Heading out under the stars and returning late at night, as the saying goes.

Su Bai took a quick glance and noticed that among the group of people fishing along the embankment, there were indeed some younger faces.

It seemed that the fishing crowd was indeed getting younger, with a massive age span.

It was a good thing. It saved college students on holiday from being nagged by their parents for staying in their rooms playing video games all day.

Perhaps if they got too addicted to fishing, their parents might even try to persuade them, "How about you just stay home and play games instead!"

The sunlight dyed the reservoir into a pool of shattered gold. A gentle breeze brushed past, bringing with it moist vapor and the fresh scent of vegetation.

A rocking chair, a sunshade—Su Bai lay there with large sunglasses on his face, looking incredibly relaxed!

"Boss Su, you don't look like you're here to fish at all. You look like you're on a beach vacation!" Driver Huang joked.

After getting familiar with this filthy rich employer, Driver Huang had become much more open when chatting with Su Bai and his beautiful companions.

This was because she realized that Su Bai was actually a very easygoing person, completely different from the stereotypical rich young master.

He had a steady but not dull temperament, was fun to talk to, and didn't have any of those weird, stuck-up quirks typical of wealthy heirs.

He was a really nice guy.

No wonder so many girls were willing to revolve around him.

In fact, Driver Huang had seen other rich playboys before. They had no problem in the wealth department, but compared to Su Bai, they genuinely lacked personal charm.

If you wanted countless beauties to willingly surround you, having money alone wasn't enough.

For example, that corrupt official who got taken down—he kept so many mistresses and had so many kids, only to find out that more than half of them weren't even his. Just thinking about it was mind-boggling.

At least, from Driver Huang's middle-aged perspective, that kind of thing was purely a waste of effort.

Su Bai certainly didn't have to worry about this problem.

It felt like the girls around him all looked at him with a kind of biological attraction, wishing they could bear his children as soon as possible.

"Driver Huang, you're mistaken. This is a new way of fishing—third-person fishing." Su Bai pointed at the Wan sisters, who were fiddling with the fishing rods. "I'm letting them demonstrate first. I'm not very good at it, so I need to observe and learn."

"You're so sneaky, Brother..." Wan Xinyan stuck her tongue out.

She had originally wanted to let Su Bai fail a few times first, and then they would show off their childhood fishing skills to impress him.

A reservoir staff member nearby praised, "These two young ladies clearly know what they're doing."

Looking at the grand setup of this group, the staff member couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The reason he was here was, of course, because Su Bai had someone contact him in advance.

There were breeding farms and management agencies near the reservoir. If you had the right connections and were willing to pay, you could get them to help with all sorts of things.

A couple of days ago, when he decided to come to the reservoir, Su Bai had already contacted this place, arranging the recreation spot and... the service of chumming the water in advance.

The spots had already been chummed, so they could start fishing right away.

This was the benefit of having money to spend freely. You could skip the meaningless steps you disliked or had no patience for, leaving only the parts you actually wanted to experience yourself.

The rocking chair, of course, was the part Su Bai loved experiencing the most. Rocking back and forth was incredibly comfortable. When he was a kid, he loved riding the coin-operated kiddie rides outside the supermarket, but it cost a one-yuan coin every time, which was too expensive.

Su Bai had always been a very sensible child since he was young.

[Ding! Detected that the host is indulgently enjoying reservoir fishing with carefully coordinated personnel, having more prestige than an ancient emperor. Rewarded Skill: Fishing (Master Level)]

Oh?

This indulgence reward came at the perfect time!

After claiming the reward skill, Su Bai felt a burst of clarity in his mind. This was the typical characteristic of a skill-type reward being injected, and it felt very comfortable.

A moment later, when he looked back at the busy Wan sisters, Su Bai's gaze was somewhat different.

He could now understand every detail, evaluating whether their choice of spots and their reeling techniques were appropriate.

The conclusion, of course, was that they were very appropriate.

At the same time, Su Bai also understood a lot more about the fishing gear they had chosen for today.

The top-tier Shimano lure rod and Stella spinning reel emitted a silky smooth "hissing" sound as the spool turned, which now sounded even more melodious to Su Bai's ears.

Hiss...

Could it be that after gaining the fishing skill, his habits would also change accordingly?

For example, picking up the angler's habit of "never being seen at home"...

[Replying to the Host: The skills provided by this system may grant the host aesthetic appreciation in the corresponding fields, but they will not change the host's habits or personality. Please rest assured!]

Not bad. With that, Su Bai had nothing to worry about.

Actually, there was nothing to worry about in the first place; he was just making a quip. The system's response was quite fast, truly considerate.

Currently, Wan Xinyue was in charge of handling the fishing rod.

Generally speaking, in activities requiring hands-on skills, the older sister would always be a bit better than the younger sister.

The younger sister was better with her mouth.

With a gentle flick of her wrist, the fishing line carried the artificial lure through the air, landing precisely in the target waters dozens of meters away, stirring up only a barely noticeable ripple on the surface.

Then, the main task was just to wait.

"This place is famous for its big reservoir silver carp. If we can catch one, we'll have grilled fish head for lunch," Su Bai said while scrolling through short videos on his phone.

"Brother, how did you think of eating so quickly? Were you not full just now?" Wan Xinyan leaned close to Su Bai, massaging his arms and shoulders to relax him, while speaking with a beaming smile.

"Well... how could I get full so easily? I have a huge appetite."

Yes, in every sense of the word!

Speaking of which, Su Bai said, "I heard there are a lot of beautiful women in your hometown..."

"Hey, hey! You're bullying us, Brother. This is only your first time accompanying us back to our hometown, and you're already keeping one eye on the pot while eating from your bowl?" Wan Xinyan chided playfully.

"Ah, I'm just making casual conversation. I don't have a specific target yet. Besides, you know me, I have very picky tastes, especially when it comes to women."

"Hmph, that's true. You are a very picky eater, Brother~"

Wan Xinyan admitted to this point.

For example, those little cosplayers from the anime club were already girlfriends that many boys in Jiangcheng University drooled over but could never get. Yet, when they fawned over Su Bai, he merely enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars like the moon, without forming any extra bonds with them.

Wan Xinyan guessed that Su Bai liked original, unopened products!

This was a very common type of cleanliness obsession. Although this kind of obsession was often criticized online by militant feminists, Wan Xinyan felt that Su Bai was completely entitled to carry his obsession through to the end.

How happy it was to follow Brother Su Bai! He was truly willing to spend money on his girls.

A stable living allowance of a hundred thousand a month—could other rich guys offer that?

Moreover, Su Bai's physical fitness was so incredibly good.
