Chapter 20 - 20: Two System Blind Boxes

Ye Chen was bidding farewell to the audience in his live stream room.

"Alright, that's the end of today's live stream, see you all tomorrow!"

Ye Chen knew that live streaming was not something to rush; it had to be done gradually.

After closing the live stream, he began packing up his fishing gear.

Compared to other anglers, Ye Chen had an easier time.

After all, as the audience in the live stream had mentioned.

Ye Chen still ended up with empty hands tonight.

Ten minutes later.

On a road beside Jiang City River, there was a group of anglers riding electric scooters, carrying fishing gear, and with buckets placed on their footboards.

Up front, a young man riding an electric scooter had a smile on his face, and on his scooter's handlebar, there was a large red urn!

This person was the "Air Force Commander," who could fish up anything except fish... Ye Chen!

It was only then that Ye Chen remembered that the system had just given him two mystery boxes...

One of these boxes was a level-up reward for Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but after acquiring the Super Fishing King System, he could clearly feel that his physical condition was much better than before.

If it were any other day, fishing from 7 a.m. the previous day until 2 a.m. would definitely make one feel tired.

However, Ye Chen felt no fatigue at all; on the contrary, he felt even more spirited and noticed his increased stamina.

The other mystery box was a reward for unlocking a new achievement "Night Fishing for a Corpse."

While enjoying the night breeze of late autumn, Ye Chen opened the system reward level-up mystery box.

[Ding Ding, congratulations to the host for unlocking the reward "Never Empty-Handed Air Force"!]

"Damn!"

Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, almost losing his grip on the electric scooter's handlebars, startling the old men behind him.

"Hey, Professor Ye, be careful!"

"It's just a win of 200,000, right? Don't get too excited!"

"Exactly, Professor Ye, keep a level head!"

...

Without looking back, Ye Chen waved his hand behind and said, "Haha, no big deal, just got distracted!"

What's the biggest worry for an angler, especially one who wants to make a name for himself?

Of course, it's coming back empty-handed!

That's the Super Fishing King System for you!

Leveling up from 1 to 2 comes with such a reward!

Ye Chen had experienced the system's abilities.

Like when he was casting spells on the riverbank to drive away evil spirits.

He meant to dispel the bad luck, but who knew, it would lead to a reward of 200,000 and bring such popularity to his live stream room.

Now with this skill called "Never Empty-Handed Air Force," wouldn't he be destined to fish until his hands were sore every day?

In his excitement, Ye Chen still took a moment to check the effect of this skill.

Just as he had guessed, it was a passive skill.

[Never Empty-Handed Air Force: Every time the host fishes for more than half an hour, it will ensure that the host catches something and enhances the fishing harvest, thereby helping the host never return empty-handed.]

What????

Something????

Seeing these two words, Ye Chen felt a bit dizzy for a moment.

Why does this skill guarantee that he will catch something every time? Why "something" instead of "fish"?

Ye Chen wasn't just being pedantic here.

Because he had just suffered from this issue...

The system had previously hinted that he would catch something huge, and when he pulled it up, it wasn't a fish at all, but a dead body, a corpse!

Ye Chen had a feeling that this "Never Empty-Handed Air Force" skill wasn't very reliable...

Oh well...

Regardless of whether it's useful or not, I'll still try it again tomorrow.

Anyway, having this skill is better than not having it.

Fortunately, Ye Chen has another blind box.

Hopefully, the reward this time won't be something weird again.

Sighing, Ye Chen, while riding his electric scooter, opened the system interface only visible to him and activated another achievement blind box for [Night Fishing for Bodies].

[Ding ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward "Catching Bodies".]

This time, the corner of Ye Chen's eyes twitched fiercely.

Looking at this new skill, ten thousand alpacas were running wild in his heart.

The skill means exactly what it says; it increases the likelihood of fishing up a body from the water, including but not limited to human bodies.

For a moment, Ye Chen had an expression that awkwardly tried to smile, his heart filled with complex feelings.

To say that his life is tough...

If thinking about it this way, fishing up a dead person and earning 200,000, wouldn't that be delightful?

But if you say happy...

Ye Chen really couldn't muster any joy.

I want fish, I want fish, I want fish!!!

Damn it!

Otherwise, I'll just quit fishing altogether and become a professional Water Ghost for retrieving bodies, how's that?

Then I wouldn't even have to get into the water, just cast the line from the shore and wait for bodies to bite, right?

Other anglers catch fish and come home with fish.

As for myself, damn, wouldn't I be surrounded by bodies???

Others finish fishing and suspend the fish at their waist, boasting to everyone, "See this? This is the wild whopper I just caught!"

After I finish fishing, I lay out bodies and call out to passersby, "Come take a look, is there anyone here to claim a relative's body..."

I'd probably end up being chased and beaten!

I'm an angler, not a professional body recovery team!

Helplessly, Ye Chen's Super Fishing King System interface became the following.

[Name: Ye Chen]

[Level: 2]

[Experience: 15/500]

[Skills: Exorcism and Suppressing Evil, Never Fish in Vain, Catching Bodies]

[Achievements Unlocked: ...]

[Achievements Locked: Rotten Fish Speak Up, Night Fishing for Bodies]

[Predictive Ability will be activated after the next fishing session...]

[Exorcism and Suppressing Evil: Helps the host defy the heavens and change fate, boosts the host's luck, turning bad situations into good ones.]

[Never Fish in Vain: Guarantees the host to catch something each fishing session lasting over half an hour, and improves the fishing haul, thus helping the host to never fish in vain.]

[Catching Bodies: Increases the probability of the host fishing up bodies, not limited to human bodies.]

Looking at the system interface, Ye Chen sighed with a bitter face.

It seems like I used up all my good luck today...

Damn it!

If it all depends on this damn system, I'm afraid I'll never catch a fish in my life.

Indeed, a man must depend on his own hands to make a living!

The anglers' electric scooter convoy continued to travel, with people peeling off from the group along the way.

Including Ye Chen, Old Liao, and this group of anglers, who all lived nearby, so they weren't far from home.

As per their prior arrangement, they'd first go home to put away their fishing gear and the fish they caught.

Then everyone would go to a familiar roadside stall to enjoy skewers and beer.

When they reached a fork in the road, Ye Chen also bid farewell to the others, preparing to head home.
