Song Tian's Farm and His Daily Life 41 Unexpected Fish in the Lake

The woman in her fifties laughed, "My grandson really loves it, he even sneakily ate the jam when I'm taking a nap," she said. The woman handed the money to Song Tian and left.

Song Li looked at Song Tian who's grinning by himself, "Oy, why are you grinning like that? It's creepy, dude," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "You don't know how it feels to hear someone really enjoy your product," he said. Looking at the table, there are only 13 strawberry jams left, "Looks like I need to make more jam," he muttered.

Song Tian saw Elisa Delgado came with her work uniform, "Yo, where did you come from?" he asked.

Elisa Delgado answered, "I came from your mom's office to get some document," she said as she looked around the shop and sat on the couch. "Why didn't you tell me your parents are the one who owns it?" she asked.

Song Tian laughed, "You didn't ask. It doesn't matter, it's not like I'm the one who owns it," he said.

Elisa Delgado sighed, "Well, your parents said I have to report to you when there's something wrong while your parents are away on the business trip," she said.

Elisa Delgado continued, "Soon, someone's going to check the apartment," she said.

Song Tian eyes lit up, but soon his eyes are dimmed, "Is it another worker of my parents?" he asked.

Elisa Delgado shook her head, "Nope, it's a married couple with 8 years old son," she said.

Elisa Delgado continues to talk with Song Tian until 4 PM. She bought three strawberry jams and a pack of eggs and left to attend the people who want to check out the apartment.

Song Tian looked at his [Farm Interface], sighed, "Pack of Eggs already sold out, and there are only 14 eggs in the Egg Storage. Should I buy another chicken?" he muttered. But he decided to against that idea since he only wants to breed the chicken he had and minimizing the cost.

Song Tian closes his shop, he looked at the cat, "I want to go fishing, are you guys coming with me?" he asked.

Song Li shook his furry head, "I just want to lay down in my bed," he said.

Xiao Yu jumped to Song Tian's shoulder, "What a lazy cat. Song Tian, bring me with you," she said.

Song Li surprised, "Oh, I'm coming too," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "Alright, wait for me to bring my stuff," he said as he went to his cabin.

Several moments later, Song Tian arrived at the lake area. He went to ask people around and found out that he can rent the small boat here for $200/day including the skipper.

Song Tian saw the man in his forties went to him. The man had blonde hair, he looked at Song Tian, "Young man, my workers are already booked. I'll act as the skipper today," he said.

Song Tian nodded, the man led Song Tian to his boat and goes to the center of the lake.

The man looked at Song Tian who took out his fishing rod, "Young man, what are you planning to fish at this hour?" he asked.

Song Tian smiled, "I'm planning to catch something big, hehe," he said. "Oh, I'm Song Tian. Uncle, what's your name?" he asked.

The man laughed, "Something big, huh? I'm John Tucker. Don't call me uncle, I'm still young. Just call me John. See? I still got some vigor in me," he said as he shows off his bicep while steering the boat.

Song Tian laughed, "Alright. John, besides the catfish, stingray, and eel. What else is the monster-sized fish on this lake?" He asked.

John Tucker pondered for a moment, "I think I remember my friend caught Arapaima in here," he said.

Song Tian nodded, "Arapaima? Alright, I hope I'll catch it today," he said. Even though he didn't know what kind of fish is that, he's still excited to catch it, and he needs it to complete his side quest.

Song Tian put the big freshwater bait to his hook and turn on his action cam which attached to his hat and starting to cast his fishing rod.

2 hours later, Song Tian already caught several freshwater fish and caught monster-sized siamese carp and stingray. He only releases the monster-sized fish and keep the big fish for the cats to eat, and sell some of them to Song Yi.

Song Tian looking at the sky which almost darkening, gritted his teeth, "One more, I must catch this Arapaima," he said.

Looking at Song Tian, John Tucker laughed, "Don't worry, I'll keep you company until you catch that big boy," he said as he lits his cigarette.

John Tucker didn't expect that the young man already caught two monster-sized fish and it's also fun watching someone caught a huge fish.

Song Tian opened two bottles of beers and handed one to John Tucker, "Sorry to trouble you," he said.

John Tucker drink the beer and laughed, "Don't worry about that, at least you let me take a picture with the monster fish," he said.

Song Tian continues to reel his fishing rod slowly. Song Li and Xiao Yu are happily gnawing at their fish in the boat.

Song Li ears perked up, "Another fish is coming," he said.

Song Tian furrowed his brow, "Is it another siamese carp? Stingray?" he asked through his mind. He found out that Song Li can detect whenever there's a massive fish near his fishing range,

Song Li answered, "No, it's different this time," he said.

Song Tian was puzzled, but before he asked what type of fish is it, he feels a heavy tension on his fishing rod. The fishing rod almost slips out of his hand.

He sighed in relief, "Phew, I almost lose my fishing rod," he said as he starting to reel the fishing rood.

John Tucker asked, "Another monster fish?" he said as he notices the fishing rod is bent like crazy.

Song Tian nodded, "Yes, I hope it's not another siamese carp, stingray, catfish or eel," he said as he reels his fishing rod. "Damn, what fish is this thing?" he said as he feels the tension is way heavier than any previous fish he ever caught.

30 minutes later, Song Tian feels the tension on his fishing rod reduces, "Oh, it's already tired and not fighting back," he said.

Not long after, Song Tian looked at the surface, and he can see a fin nearby, his face changed, "Damn, it's a flipping shark!" he shouted.

John Tucker startled, "What shark are you talking about? There's no shark on this lake," he said.

"Look at the surface," Song Tian said as he reels the fish closer to the boat.

John Tucker turns on the light on his boat, and he took a flashlight and pointed it to the surface of the river. He's dumbfounded, "What the fudge! Oh my lord, there's a flipping shark on this lake," he said.

Since his first day works on this area, he never saw or heard any shark sighting on the lake. He often swims in the lake area, but looking at the shark, he couldn't help but shivered.

Song Tian picks the shark from the surface, which makes John Tucker shocked. He removed the hook and looked at the stats.

- Name: Bull Shark.

- Size: Large.

- Condition: Fresh (23:59).

- [Sell for $50]

Song Tian surprised to see the price of the shark is really cheap, and Song Yi told him that the shark didn't taste very good and some people on another galaxy only treat it as a common aquarium pet on their home which makes him speechless.

Song Tian and John Tucker took a turn to take a picture with the shark, and after that, Song Tian released the shark back to the lake.

In front of John Tucker house, Song Tian already sent the picture of him.

John Tucker sighed, "It seems I need to report it to my boss to look for the solution," he said.

Song Tian asked, "Is it about the shark earlier?" he said.

John Tucker nodded, "Yes, I need to report it to move the shark back to the ocean. If it stays on this lake, it'll be dangerous for people around," he said.

After talking for a while, Song Tian found out that John Tucker is appointed by the government to watch and guard the lake area.

Sat on the couch, a man in his forties looked at large holographic images in front of him. He can see the image of a young man releasing the shark, "Good, at least he's not blinded by greed," he said.

The young woman who looked like in her early twenties just came and saw the man looking at the image, "Brother if you're so interested in him. Why not take him as your disciple straight away?" she asked.

The man smiled, "It's not the time yet," he said.
