Chapter 402: Chapter 243: Broadcasting Passion
Zhang Yang finished his one-minute screen recording and ended the guessing session right on time.
Now it’s time to reveal the big fish for everyone.
The next five minutes turned into Han Qiang’s fish-playing show. After the brief commotion when the fish first took the bait, the big blue carp was steadily played out by Han Qiang.
After five minutes, the fish, gradually exhausted, was lifted out of the water by the rod’s waist power, and soon the fish’s head emerged from the water.
Zhang Yang, who was in charge of commentary and live streaming interaction, decisively adjusted the camera to focus on the newly emerged fish.
The big blue carp, reared freely in the reservoir for so long, had lost the darker color it had during captivity, turning into a light grayish-blue. Its large mouth opened and closed continuously on the water’s surface, creating a very strong visual impact in the close-up shot.
[Holy crap, the fish head is huge, looks like it’s over thirty pounds!]
[That big mouth, I have a bold idea!]
[Dude above, don’t be gross, you could drive a car on this bumpy road!]
[35.22 pounds, that’s high! This guess is solid!]
Holding the rod, Han Qiang, seeing the fish’s energy almost depleted, intentionally let the fish swallow a few gulps of water.
These gulps of water were the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and soon the fish, unable to maintain its posture due to exhaustion, turned belly-up.
"Belly-up! Guys, watch me land this fish myself! Here we go!"
Han Qiang called out, holding the rod while using his ankle to hook the landing net into his hand, steadily pulling the fish towards the net.
Once most of the fish’s body was in the net, Han Qiang laid down the rod, reached forward with his left hand holding the net handle, and pulled back, completing a classic drawer-style fish landing move.
"Guys, the big blue has been successfully netted! Follow and give a like in the live room for another round! It’s prize time, prize time, prize time!"
Zhang Yang enthusiastically called out, immediately approaching with the Fish Controller.
Though catching the fish was done by fishing, treating the caught fish, Han Qiang and Zhang Yang were very gentle. Holding the fish head behind the gill cover through the net, Zhang Yang swiftly attached the lock of the Fish Controller, which has a weighing function, to the sturdy lower jaw of the fish.
"Let me see how big this fish is! Witness the moment of miracle together!" Zhang Yang called out, lifting the fish effortlessly with one hand holding the Fish Controller’s grip.
The pointer of the electronic scale fluctuated continuously before halting at 27.53 pounds.
"Darn! Just missed it!" Seeing the weight, Han Qiang, busy wiping sweats, couldn’t help but blurt out a curse.
Zhang Yang laughed heartily: "Hahaha, fellas in the live room, net weight 27.53 pounds, not even half a pound between! It didn’t fall into Brother Qiang’s guessed weight range!
So, let’s invite Brother Qiang for a passionate round of squats on the spot!"
Han Qiang wasn’t someone to back off from fun, seeing he indeed lost, he came down from the fishing spot without any delay.
"Losing is losing, a real man takes his beatings standing! Folks, help me count, a hundred squats, begin!"
Hearing this, Han Qiang immediately started doing squats with proper form.
Despite Han Qiang’s decent physical condition, with frequent outdoor fishing activities, he underestimated the daunting power of a hundred squats on the spot.
The first thirty were relatively standard, but after forty, a lot of lactic acid built up in his thigh muscles. The movements gradually deformed, and the pace slowed down.
At fifty, the thigh muscles started trembling, with the speed of standing up noticeably dragging.
Seeing his partner struggling, Zhang Yang seized the moment and approached Han Qiang, pressing on Han Qiang’s shoulder firmly.
"Alright, that’s enough! As partners, I can’t let you take the punishment alone. We can take it, the rest I’ll do!
Forty-eight more to go, I’ll do it, adding twelve as interest!"
Having said this, Zhang Yang began doing squats on the spot with very proper form.
No comparison, no injury. Zhang Yang’s squats were even faster than Han Qiang’s, doing sixty squats in one go without much gasping for breath.
"58, 59, 60 complete! There you go, quality and quantity assured!" Zhang Yang exhaled a breath and announced loudly.
Seeing Zhang Yang’s vigorous performance, a new round of buzz started in the public chat.
[Holy, Brother Yang has some amazing stamina!]
[Squats on the spot, not as easy as they appear! An average person would feel their thighs burn after twenty squats! Feel free to try everyone!]>
[Brother Qiang did well too, although the latter half was struggling, he never gave up!]
[Don’t think there’s nothing now, wait until you sleep and wake up, you’ll realize the power of squats! Personal advice is to end the stream and get a massage; otherwise, walking will be tough tomorrow! Passing by as a P.E. student!]
Zhang Yang glanced down at the public chat, grinning to reveal a set of white teeth: "It’s nothing, just a little workout! Anyone in the live room closest to the actual weight, give me a shout!"
[Li Tailang sent 66 beers and said: Brother Yang, I guessed 27.66 kilograms, should be the closest! Haha, even with my forever unlucky streak, there’s a win this time, feels great!]
Seeing Li Tailang pop up, Zhang Yang decisively pulled up the previous recording on his phone and began reviewing it patiently.
Most of the audience guessed weights concentrated around over thirty kilograms, guesses lower than Brother Qiang’s outlined weight were rare. Quickly, Zhang Yang verified the result.
"Congratulations to the user named Li Tailang for winning the guessing grand prize! I’ve followed you, and after the stream, staff will contact you directly!
