Chapter 228: Chapter 152: The Big Fish Surfaces_3Only as he drew closer did Lin Yang see the massive Zong Fish they had dragged back last night, the initial processing already completed, with staff wrapping it in thermal insulation material for packaging.

At this moment, the fish’s body was no longer visible as the staff were securing the thermal cotton, looking to wrap it up and load it onto a truck for transport.

"Cousin, you’re awake? Are you hungry? I had the kitchen save some food for you," Li Xiaopeng, who enjoyed the bustling scene, said to him as he approached.

"Not really hungry. Are they planning to transport the fish away?"

"Yes, the refrigerated truck arrived at dawn. Professor Chen and his team were up very early today too, removing all the perishable internal organs first thing in the morning, and now that it’s all packed, it can be directly hauled away," Li Xiaopeng, who had risen early, was well-informed about the re

"Sure, no problem," Lin Yang agreed without hesitation.

Being a mere fisherman, he preferred using a fishing rod over the fishing device’s technology, which was bulky and not often used, and selling it to the research team would mean one less headache for him.

"Great, then it’s a deal. I’ll have Xiao Han coordinate with you later," Professor Chen concluded.

"Okay," Lin Yang affirmed.

...

The morning passed imperceptibly.

With Lin Yang’s help, the research team completed their project and scheduled their return. At noon, they held a very lavish celebratory banquet where Professor Chen and his students celebrated properly.

Lin Yang’s trip to Dongting Lake had also achieved the outcomes he hoped for.

After brief communications, they planned to leave soon after and first rest at the nearest Yueyang City.

As the protagonist in catching the Dongting Lake’s big fish, Lin Yang truly enjoyed the massive media exposure this hot event brought him.

Several local TV stations and media journalists had obtained his phone number, wanting to interview him. His Douyin account also gained tens of thousands of followers in just a few days.

News about the big fish from Dongting Lake dominated the hot search, but Lin Yang, the instigator, was leisurely resting in a hotel, not bothered by the commotion.

It was only on the third day of resting at the hotel that he finally checked his backend account on his mobile phone to see various messages.

Although he hadn’t logged into the account in the past few days, Yue’er had continued to handle orders as usual and coordinated with the courier station owner in Qingyang Town.

He didn’t need to worry too much about work matters.

After logging into the backend, as on previous occasions, his message inbox and friend requests were overflowing at 99+.

Lin Yang scrolled through various private messages. After catching another big fish, many followers were sending him locations, asking him to come and hunt for big game in their areas.

He was always interested in such messages, and after filtering through more than a dozen, a message from an old fan caught his eye.

This was a private message from a fan in Xichuan Province, approximately saying:

"Hello Master Lin, I’ve been following you for a long time. Recently, I rented a reservoir that hadn’t been drained for decades. It contains quite a few large fish. Could I invite you to come and fish here? I can offer you an appearance fee."

A reservoir undrained for decades with many big fish still in it, plus an appearance fee, and most importantly, being located in Xichuan Province—Lin Yang’s next intended fishing grounds.
