Bai Ye's palm was like a power source, with electric light coursing and flashing. Judging by the intense light from the arcs, it was significantly stronger than household electricity. The over 20 million viewers were momentarily stunned, staring in disbelief...
After a long while, the now quiet comment section exploded once more.
"໒(͒⌂͒)७ Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! Siblings, am I seeing things???"
"Over 20 million people online are telling you, Brother Ye is discharging!"
"ヾ(●゜ⅴ゜)ﾉ Truly a display of skill, leaving nothing to the imagination!"
"An unprecedented electrocution magic! Brother Ye is venturing further and further down the path of magic!"
"Electricity? Such thick electricity? This is clearly lightning!!!"
"(o゜▽゜)o☆ The man who controls lightning? Thor??"
"（。＾▽＾） If I were a fish in the sea, I'd swim as far away as possible. Brother Ye is too dangerous!!!"
【Aojiao Xiao Ke Ai sent a Carnival x1】"(v●ᴥ●v) Brother Ye is so cool! Keep it up!"
【Youwei Qingnian sent a Carnival x10】: "As expected of Brother Ye's magic! A brilliant start."
【Harry Potter Da sent a Carnival x5】: "Brother Ye always starts with a pay-to-watch feel! Thanks to Douyin's free viewing platform..."
...
Xiao Daimei covered her mouth with her hands, letting out constant 'wow' sounds, unable to say anything else, perfectly capturing the reaction of many fangirls.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Bai Ye smiled calmly and said:
"The electricity is indeed real, but it's not as exaggerated as Thor's, just a little stronger than household electricity..."
As he spoke, he flexed his fingers, causing the lightning to crackle and the electric light to intensify.
Seeing the audience staring dumbfounded (。・＿・。) Suspecting you're fooling us!
The livestream room erupted in another wave of clamor.
"Woof woof!!"
Not far away, Gou Dan, Xiao Bai, and the others on the ice were also intently watching the lightning on Bai Ye's body, their expressions fearful, involuntarily taking a few steps back.
Even Xiao Fantuan, who was usually daring, had a hint of awe in its round eyes. It wasn't afraid of fire or ice, but this electric power seemed to make it wary.
And their large group seemed to understand why Bai Ye hadn't let them get close...
"Here it comes!"
After letting everyone watch carefully for a short while, Bai Ye crouched down and placed his hand, which was emitting lightning, into the seawater below him.
Everyone held their breath, then suddenly their eyes widened.
Sizzle sizzle~
How fast is lightning? The moment his palm dipped into the seawater, the fierce lightning, flashing with a terrifying blue glow, found a vent and instantly spread across the surrounding hundreds of meters of the sea.
For a moment, the surroundings flickered with blue light, resembling the opening of a time gate in a sci-fi movie, filled with an eerie and terrifying aura.
In the seawater, countless fish thrashed violently, a scene of chaos. But, in the blink of an eye, it returned to silence, or rather, a dead silence...
The fish that were just lively now floated quietly, some sank to the bottom, and others rose to the surface, belly up...
Gou Dan, Xiao Bai, and the others in the distance had their fur standing on end, their paws trembling uncontrollably...
"Woof woof woof... (Boss... you're getting scarier!)"
"Whine whine whine!!!"
Xiao Fantuan stared with its round eyes, then looked at the various fish floating up to the surface, and swallowed its saliva cutely.
"Ah!! This, this... Brothers, look quickly..."
Xiao Daimei's face was filled with horror, her mouth agape.
And the over 20 million netizens in the livestream room, why did they need her to remind them? Everyone was already in an uproar! At this moment, they were as if struck by lightning, their souls shaken countless times.
"Holy crap! Σ(°△°|||)︴Brother Ye!! You call this 'just a little stronger than household electricity'???"
"Σ(っ°Д°;)っ This, this, this... Isn't that over a hundred thousand volts??"
"I, I'm shocked! Isn't household electricity 220 volts? Or am I out of touch???"
"So many fish! This... this is a large-scale electrofishing scene!"
"(lll￢w￢) Such pitiful fish, they're not moving at all!"
"A vast expanse of white! How many tons of fish is this??"
"With such terrifying current, so many fish are dead! Why is Brother Ye okay???"
【Shanjie Renyi sent a Carnival x2】: "Brother Ye is awesome!"
【Yalishique De sent a Carnival x10】: "Excited, excited! I can't help but want to send gifts. Lastly, Brother Ye is the GOAT!!! (Voice crack)"
...
Bai Ye stood up and retracted his lightning power. Looking at the countless fish belly-up around him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There were many more fish here than he had anticipated, including many valuable species that should live in deep waters. And the destructive power of this lightning was also a bit beyond his expectations...
"Ahem~ My apologies. This is a lightning magic I've just developed, and I haven't quite mastered it yet, so the destructive power is a bit great..."
"Ahem, ahem... So, everyone, please do not imitate this magic before I've perfected it!"
Imitate?
Hearing Bai Ye's words and seeing his serious expression, the audience fell into a slight silence, almost going crazy.
(*・w・)✄╰ひ╯
"Good heavens! I'm simply amazed, Brother Ye, thank you for looking down on us! |w・）"
"＜(－︿－)＞ I'm grown this big, and it's the first time someone's looked down on me like this!"
"When I was a child, the switch at home had a leak, and touching it nearly killed me! Do you think I'd dare?? (▼ヘ▼#) Hmph!"
...
Seeing the netizens' frantic teasing, Xiao Daimei couldn't help but laugh. Brother Ye was really a bit of a troublemaker!
As more and more fish floated to the surface, the audience's attention was gradually drawn to the various fish. Upon closer inspection, many people gasped and were shocked again.
"Holy crap! Am I seeing things? Why do I think I saw a bluefin tuna???"
"(o゜▽゜)o Holy cow, holy cow! I think I saw one too, but why is it so big?"
【Tianwang Lao Diaoshou sent a Carnival x1】: "Spindle-shaped body, conical head, large mouth, the upper jaw extends to the middle and lower part of the eye's lower edge, slender caudal peduncle... It's definitely a bluefin tuna!"
"Σ(っ°Д°;)っ Holy crap! Then, then there's a super big one! Brother Ye is over 1.8 meters tall, and that bluefin tuna is three to four times his height!"
"Amazing! The world's largest bluefin tuna on record is four meters long and weighs 679kg, auctioned for over 20 million. This one, conservatively estimated at five meters long, how much would it sell for???"
Many netizens thought about it, and their minds immediately went into overdrive. This record-breaking bluefin tuna would fetch at least over 30 million!
And this was just one of them; there were quite a few more, with lengths of two to three meters!
In addition, there seemed to be giant groupers, rare wild yellow croakers, etc., each more valuable than gold!
How did Brother Ye make money so quickly? This small magic trick, was it going to rake in hundreds of millions?
Gulp!!!
Poverty limits my imagination!
In the livestream room, just as countless people were exclaiming and sighing, merchants who had taken a liking to these rare fish began to make offers.
【Haizhou Yushang sent a Carnival x10】: "Haizhou Fish Merchant is very fond of the largest bluefin tuna and offers 35 million, sincerely wishing to purchase! Please, Grand Magician, part with it..."
【Yatilans Global Grand Hotel sent a Carnival x10】: "Yatilans Global Grand Hotel consumes tens of thousands of bluefin tuna annually, but has never seen such a premium specimen. We are willing to offer 40 million!!"
【High-end Ingredient Merchant sent a Carnival x10】: "...Offers 43 million!"
...
For a time, over a dozen famous merchants fiercely competed, and Bai Ye's livestream room was once again showered with gifts.
And the price of that record-breaking bluefin tuna soared to 60 million, leaving many netizens dumbfounded.
Xiao Daimei's beautiful eyes were also shocked. She picked up her delicate hand and did some calculations, her expression becoming even more astonished. Brother Ye's one livestream session was almost her annual income!
"This... Although I knew bluefin tuna was expensive, but!! Can anyone tell me if a single fish for over 60 million can really be profitable?"
"I'm curious too! Even if this one is 1000kg, then 1kg would be 60,000, and that's before removing bones and internal organs!"
...
Under the high pricing, many people were puzzled.
The manager of Yatilans Global Grand Hotel, who made the highest bid of 66 million, saw the astonishment of many netizens and revealed a confident smile.
This record-breaking bluefin tuna was inherently extremely valuable. Moreover, the most special point was that this fish was caught by Ye. With Ye's fame, there would be no shortage of buyers...
The most important point was that this operation in Bai Ye's livestream room had created an advertising effect worth hundreds of millions!
The merchants who failed to win the bid shook their heads. They naturally understood the reason, but their funds were limited, and they couldn't compete. Therefore, they could only continue to offer bids to purchase the smaller bluefin tuna...
And each of them was also around several million to ten million!
"230 million"
"260 million"
"..."
Netizens continuously helped Bai Ye calculate the cumulative pricing, finally realizing that Bai Ye's 'electrofishing' magic trick had reaped 300 million!
This made many experienced anglers, and even deep-sea fishing fleets, incredibly envious.
"I've been an old fisherman for decades, and I can't compare to Brother Ye's magic electrofishing. Brother Ye is amazing! (⊙ˍ⊙)"
"I dub Brother Ye the King of Fishermen!!"
...
Seeing so many people bidding competitively, Bai Ye's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
He had originally just wanted to perform a new magic trick, gain some prestige, and perhaps catch a few fish to take home for a change of taste. As for anything else, to avoid waste, he could give it to Lydia to eat; that guy had a huge appetite.
However, since people were willing to pay such high prices, Bai Ye felt it was acceptable to sell. Instead of eating this '300 million' himself, it would be more meaningful to invest it in the charity fund he planned to establish.
As for bluefin tuna, it wasn't necessarily true that the bigger the better tasting; there were still plenty of smaller ones...
"Alright. Then I'll..."
Just as Bai Ye was about to agree to these merchants, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned, stepping on the ice and rapidly retreating.
(⊙ˍ⊙) ???
Netizens and merchants were bewildered. Suddenly, a vast disturbance appeared on the sea ahead, the water surged, and huge waves rose.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone on the spot and would never be forgotten appeared.
A massive mouth emerged from the sea, engulfing countless large and small fish floating on the surface in a single gulp...
Audience: (⊙ˍ⊙)……Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
