“Am I blind? Why does starting a fire with sticks look so easy?”
“It’s not easy. His hands are fast. Didn’t you see the afterimages from his hands?”
“If he can spin this fast, it would be a waste not to have him screw bolts at construction sites.”
[Nightwing sent you 10 Super Rockets]
Nightwing typed, “I’m cheering for the speed of your hands!”
“WOW! It’s Nightwing! The new rich guy in Fighting Shark!”
“The Boss is in the house! Awesome!”
“Man, you are really lucky. It’s just your second day of streaming, and you’ve attracted the attention of so many rich guys. I think when your stream gets even more popular, I’ll be one of the original members! Hahaha!”
Su Yu said, “Thank you for your 10 Super Rockets, Nightwing. Okay, guys, let’s roast our rabbit.”
He then put the skewered rabbit on the rack.
While the rabbit was roasting over the fire, he wanted to catch some fish from the river as an additional dish. He looked at Little White. “You know the river better than me. Why don’t you catch us a fish or two?”
Then, the viewers from the stream started to joke about it again.
“Bajie, you know the river better than me. Why don’t you lure the monster out?”
“It’s like you are trying to show off how good you are in the water! Dude, this isn’t ‘Journey to the West’.”
“Hahaha, fishing and hunting? You are both good on land and in the water! However, being great might attract jealousy, and you might have to apologize for being excellent!”
“Good on land, good in water!”
Little White did not react to Su Yu’s words. It lay beside the fire, looking all superior and cold.
“Hahaha! This is embarrassing! Little White doesn’t even want to talk to you!”
“Little White must be saying: I’m a snake that eats ginseng. Who do you think I am? A water snake that catches fish for a living?”
Su Yu shook his head. “Fine, I’ll do it myself.”
He headed to the river with the intention to shoot some fish out of the water.
The river flowed from the mountains, so it was considered spring water. The water in the river was so clear that he could see everything swimming in the water clearly.
Su Yu observed the water for a while and noticed several fish swimming along with the current. However, it was not easy to catch a fish in the water.
“Master Su, are you going to make a trap?”
“Are you trying to fish? But you don’t have a rod.”
Su Yu said, “Nope, I’m not fishing. We can simply shoot the fish out of the water.”
“Fish-shooting? You mean you are going to shoot the fire with your arrow and bow? Can you really do it?”
Su Yu replied, “Let’s find out.”
An arrow appeared in his hand when his words subsided. He loaded the arrow, drew the string, and took aim.
Swoosh!
An arrow was fired precisely at a swimming fish in the river.
Less than a second later, the arrow pinned something at the bottom of the river.
Su Yu was not in a hurry to reap his spoils. He drew out another arrow from his quiver and fired it again.
In less than 3 minutes, he had fired a total of seven arrows.
All seven shots felt smooth and sharp, but those who did not know what he was doing might have assumed that he was simply shooting arrows into the river.
He was not simply shooting. He drew the arrow, pulled the string, and took aim at his target. Every step was executed carefully.
After half of the arrows were fired, Su Yu finally put down his bow. He rolled his pants up and wanted to retrieve his spoils.
“Did you get the fish?”
“I don’t know. I can’t see properly. Maybe he got them.”
“No freaking way he got the fish! He was quick at firing his arrows, which means less accuracy. It would be strange if he could hit even one fish.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions so fast. Did you forget what happened to the rabbit?”
“I believe in Master Su’s accuracy and archery, but I don’t know how many he got.”
Every arrow that Su Yu retrieved from the river had a fish embedded on the arrowhead, and the viewers in his stream saw the entire process.
The arrowhead precisely hit the fishes’ bellies, pinning them down completely and stopping them from swimming away.
“Wow! What kind of archery technique did you use? It’s god-like!”
“If this wasn’t a live stream, I would’ve believed that this is an edited video.”
“I heavily suspect that someone is hiding in the river or that the fish is also a part of the show.”
“Hahaha! Good show, fish!”
Su Yu took the fish out of the water. Similar to the rabbit, he cleaned the fish first before skewering them with wooden sticks.
Many of his viewers did not know what kind of fish he had caught though.
“Hey, man, can you tell us what you got? What kind of fish did you get there? I’ve never seen some of them before.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen them before as well.”
Su Yu answered, “The fish? Oh, this is Sharpbelly, also known as wild carp. As for these two, I have no idea either. They are just some random fishes from the mountain. It’s hard to identify the species.”
While Su Yu might have grown up in a village, it did not mean he knew every kind of fish in the mountains.
He did not need any kind of seasoning. All he did was sprinkle some salt before grilling, and it would be aromatic when done.
Even Little White, the fussy eater, lifted its head curiously when it picked up the smell. Its blue eyes were staring at the food, looking completely interested.
The surface of the rabbit meat had turned golden and the fish skin started to be charred.
The fragrance of cooked food floated in the air, whetting Su Yu’s appetite. He had been hungry for a while now.
When the fish was done, he quickly grabbed a piece and gobbled on its flesh.
Wild fish found in the mountain area were fat and juicy. White steam gushed out from the meat after the first bite. The skin was slightly charred, but the meat was as white as snow besides also tasting juicy on the bite.
“Delicious! This is really good! It’s nicely cooked,” Su Yu said.
“Holy sh*t! Damn it. Why must I watch you eat at this time?”
“I’m still working and it’s torturing me! I’m hungry, but the office canteen is still closed. The way you eat it looks extremely appetizing.”
“The fish looks really good! I can’t hold it anymore, I’m ordering takeaway.”
“Su Yu, you b*st*rd! Engarde!”
“I thought Master Su would starve in the mountains, but it seemed like he’s having a better meal than me. Rabbit and fish? I’m sold!”
While Su Yu was chewing on his fish, Little White followed the fragrance and came over. It nuzzled against his leg.
Su Yu looked at Little White and said, “You want some?”
Little White nodded.
Su Yu then took another grilled fish for the snake.
Little White took a bite, and when it tasted the meat of the fish, its eyes shone in excitement.
It was good!
After testing it out, Little White swallowed the grilled fish whole. Even the bones were not spared. Swallowing a fish in a second was satisfying. It hissed with a pleasant look, probably because it was tasty.
Su Yu then turned around and continued chewing on his own fish.
Little White then had its reptilian eyes on the other fish by the fire. It showed a sinister look before slowly moving its big head closer.
A while later, after Su Yu finished his own grilled fish, he turned around to the fire.
“Huh? Where’s my fish?!”
There had been four more fish grilling by the fire but after he finished one, the others were gone.
The viewers on the stream were amused by the situation.
“Hahaha! It’s so darn funny! You must be so confused right now!”
“Little White must be thinking: How’s my magic trick?”
“Little White said: It’s not me. I swear it’s not me! *Burp*!”
“Little White said: A few fishes aren’t even enough as an appetizer. Fortunately, you are fast. Otherwise, the rabbit would’ve ended up in my stomach as well.”
After knowing what happened, Su Yu looked at Little White helplessly.
“You little…I asked you to get some fish from the river, and you said no. I gave you one fish and you ate the others faster than me? You failed at everything and ate faster than anyone could have!”
Losing the fish to Little White taught Su Yu a lesson, and he learned to be cautious of the snake.
Right before he reached out for the roasted rabbit, the viewers on his stream spammed him with comments.
“Bro! Bro! Look behind you!”
“Holy sh*t! Am I seeing this right?”
“Master Su! Stop eating! Look behind you!”
“Master Su! Run!”
“DANGER!”
