Chapter 3

Xu Jiayan offered to catch fish, but she must not do so. In order to prevent accidents, the safest way was to refuse to go to the fields or fish ponds.

By solving the problem from the root, Lin Miaomiao felt that she had made progress again, which was great!

While others were still shocked by Lin Miaomiao's bold move, Xu Jiayan seemed to have expected it and said calmly, "There are special wading pants for fishing. If you wear them, your skin won't come into direct contact with the water."

There is also this thing?

Lin Miaomiao was a little dumbfounded. In order to attract attention, don't variety shows usually have guests roll up their pants? Isn't this show a little too humane?

Xu Jiayan seemed to see through her thoughts and explained, "Now that everyone's living standards have improved, they naturally don't have to work as hard as before. Practical agricultural machinery and auxiliary tools can help workers save time and improve work efficiency. There must be daily auxiliary tools like waders."

This argument is irresistible in every way.

Lin Miaomiao: “…”

She has laid the groundwork so well and even pretended to be weak and unable to take care of herself. Xu Jiayan doesn't need to do anything special, just lend a hand to catch fish normally, and everyone will see her diligent and considerate performance. With such a good opportunity to win fans, why does she have to drag her along?

Xu Jiayan’s brain must have been damaged by soaking, right?

Lin Miaomiao was extremely depressed, while others silently gave Xu Jiayan a thumbs up in their hearts.

The live broadcast room was also gloating and laughing like crazy:

[Xu Jiayan is awesome, she is good at treating hypocrisy. ]

[Hahaha, I really like Xu Jiayan's personality. Yesterday I was still worried that she would be bullied by Lin Miaomiao, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.]

[I have learned it, I have learned it. As expected of an independent person since childhood, Xu Jiayan will not be able to survive if she does not publish a book. ]

The distribution of work was quickly decided. Ye Zimo and Yang Jun went to plow the fields, Su Zhixing took Xu Jiayan and Lin Miaomiao to go fishing first, and Zhao Shuya decided to go around the village again to see if there was anyone else who needed help, hoping to bring back some benefits for everyone.

After coming out of the village chief's office, the two groups went to the homes of those in need, received the tools, and then went to the mission site.

Although some water had been released in advance, the fish pond was not comparable to the pond in front of their house which was only knee-deep. In addition, the thickness of the silt made the water directly flood over Su Zhixing's thighs and reach his waist as soon as he stepped in.

Seeing him pulling his legs apart with difficulty and then stepping down again, Lin Miaomiao found a new excuse.

"The mud in the fish pond is horrible. I'm not strong enough and I can't pull it out once I step on it, so I'd better stay on the shore and watch over the fish." As she said this, she squatted down beside the basin.

"There are no fish yet," Xu Jiayan, who had just left the fish pond, naturally said, "Miao Miao, come to the outlet and watch over it. Don't let the fishing net get washed away."

This fish pond is where Uncle Chun raises grass carp for sale. Uncle Chun sprained his leg and is unable to work, so he asked the guests of Happy Farm for help. Their task today is to fish out all the fish in the pond.

Although the fishing net at the outlet is fixed, the water flows out too quickly and needs to be checked from time to time. Now that they have a large number of people and enough manpower to guard there, there is naturally no need to check it frequently.

Although Lin Miaomiao felt that she was being targeted by Xu Jiayan, she had no evidence to show for it. Besides, she didn't need to do much work just guarding the water outlet. If she still refused, it would be too obvious. What if everyone saw through that she was deliberately targeting Xu Jiayan and all of them defended Xu Jiayan, not giving her the chance to "act", then how could she complete her mission?

After analyzing the pros and cons, Lin Miaomiao reluctantly went around to the water outlet and stayed there.

The next moment, Lin Miaomiao saw Xu Jiayan also stopped standing at the shore and did not move.

Lin Miaomiao: ???

Soon, most of the water in the fish pond was released, and Su Zhixing's fishing became much smoother. As a result, after he caught a few fish, he turned around and saw Lin Miaomiao and Xu Jiayan standing there watching without moving. He was a little confused, "Why don't you two fish?"

Lin Miaomiao: "I'm guarding the fishing nets to prevent them from being washed away by the water."

Xu Jiayan: "There's too much water. I think it will be easier to catch fish after we release some more."

Su Zhixing thought that was right. When he thought about how he had been messing around for a long time, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He held the net bag in one hand and dragged the bucket in the other hand towards the shore, saying self-deprecatingly, "I was stupid too."

Lin Miaomiao didn't think he was stupid. Most people had no experience and the old man didn't teach them. It was normal for Su Zhixing to do this. On the contrary, Xu Jiayan looked very experienced. She knew how to do it better but didn't say it. If it were other stars, they would hold the net bag and make a fuss with Su Zhixing even if it was just to pretend to be stupid for the camera.

Wait!

Su Zhixing was grunting as he fished, she was watching the fishing net, and Xu Jiayan was just standing there watching. So, among the three of them, Xu Jiayan was the one who was really lazy and did nothing!

Xu Jiayan really knows how to be lazy better than her!

So what is easier than standing and doing nothing? It has to be sitting.

"The water is low now, so the fishing nets won't be washed away." Lin Miaomiao made up an excuse and climbed onto the shore. "I'm tired of standing. I need to rest."

Su Zhixing: “…”

I am more tired from fishing and want to rest.

Xu Jiayan also looked at Lin Miaomiao strangely. This was the first time she showed a surprised expression after restraining Lin Miaomiao several times today. Obviously, she still underestimated Lin Miaomiao's shamelessness.

Even Xu Jiayan, who works at the Space-Time Bureau, has never encountered a star like Lin Miaomiao who is too lazy to even pretend to do something.

After binding to the reward world and discovering that her cat was missing, Xu Jiayan had only one wish, which was to end the plot of this world as soon as possible so that she could leave and find the cat - because once the system is bound, she can only leave if the mission succeeds or fails.

This world was bound too suddenly, and Xu Jiayan didn't have time to figure out what kind of world it was. But with her many years of work experience in the Space-Time Bureau, she quickly extracted key words from the original owner's memory - the relationship in which she and Lin Miaomiao exchanged identities, and thus quickly determined that this was a true and false world of a Qianjin novel.

As usual, the protagonist of this type of novel is either a real daughter or a fake daughter. As for who will strike back and slap her in the face, Xu Jiayan is too lazy to think about it. She has done so many tasks and retired just to enjoy life, so naturally she doesn't want to work actively anymore.

Well, if we want the story of this world to end as soon as possible, we can only rely on the fake daughter. Moreover, the fake daughter is now being blackened by the entire network and is in urgent need of proving herself. This live variety show is a good opportunity for her to gain fans. If Lin Miaomiao practices her acting skills and wins a Best Actress award in the future, it will be a totally satisfying story!

As a member of the control group that had a grudge against Lin Miaomiao, Xu Jiayan felt that she was dressed as a real rich girl to serve as a foil for Lin Miaomiao and help her succeed, so at a critical moment like yesterday, Xu Jiayan took the responsibility on herself without hesitation.

Who would have thought that this fake daughter was so hopeless!

She grabbed the responsibility and Lin Miaomiao got angry with her; she deliberately made choices to give Lin Miaomiao opportunities to perform and Lin Miaomiao became a princess on the spot; she arranged for Lin Miaomiao to do the work and was lazy herself, so Lin Miaomiao simply gave up!

Is this something a normal person who is being blackened by the entire internet and needs to prove herself would do?

Seeing Lin Miaomiao climb up the shore with confidence and then step back to the ground, Xu Jiayan had a subtle suspicion in her heart: Could she have done this on purpose?

But this idea was quickly rejected by Xu Jiayan. Lin Miaomiao has now left the Lin family and is no longer the daughter of the Lin family. Her career has also suffered a severe blow. Without the protection of the Lin family and without absolute strength, her acting career is really over. There is no reason for her to deliberately bring bad luck upon herself.

Without the Lin family and having lost her job, how would she support herself in the future?

Soon the water in the fish pond was barely enough to cover all the fish, so the uncle asked them to block the outlet and start fishing.

The pond was full of fish, and any net cast was full of fish. Su Zhixing was the first to catch a bucket of fish. He carried the fish ashore and poured it into the water tank on the car, calling Lin Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, come and help."

Lin Miaomiao glanced at the mud that had emerged from the water and lay there without moving. "The mud is too deep, and I am not strong enough to pull it out..."

Xu Jiayan: "You come to the middle and be responsible for catching the fish into the bucket."

Lin Miaomiao: "You can use a large fishing net and cast it out to catch everything."

Xu Jiayan: "We are too few in number, and there are too many fish to pull. Let's just catch them like this first, and then we can cast the net when Yang Jun and the others are done."

Lin Miaomiao glanced at the big fat grass carp weighing at least five or six kilograms, was silent for a while, and finally reluctantly carried a bucket down to the pond.

All the fish were forced to crowd in the center of the pond. The turbid muddy water made it difficult for them to breathe. They kept struggling by flapping their tails. The crowded space caused some fish to jump directly out of the muddy water.

Just as Lin Miaomiao approached the edge of the center section, a fish jumped up half a meter high and got splashed with mud and water on its face. She frowned unhappily, raised her hand and grabbed the fish quickly and accurately, with her thumb and index finger firmly stuck on the fish's gills, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape.

A five or six jin grass carp was jumping in the air and was caught accurately by Lin Miaomiao with her thumb and index finger...

Is this something a human can do?

Everyone was stunned. The photographer thought he was hallucinating. He looked up from behind the camera and saw that Lin Miaomiao was indeed holding the fish with two fingers.

"It's so dirty. It's all your fault. My face and clothes are covered in mud!" Lin Miaomiao glared at the grass carp in her hand with disgust and threatened to throw the fish into the bucket, "If you jump again, I will eat you."

The fish fellows seemed to understand what she said and were deliberately going against her. As soon as her hands were free, another fish jumped up. Lin Miaomiao caught the disobedient fish without saying a word, without waiting for the mud and water to fall on her body.

Two more fingers, even faster than last time.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you keep making trouble, I'll eat you all!"

But the fishes that had long lost their living space could not help themselves even if they cared about her threat. If they did not jump themselves, they would be squeezed by other fish and forced to jump.

The fish jumped up one after another, splashing mud and water all over Lin Miaomiao, which completely infuriated her. She just put down the fish in her hand and immediately reached out to grab another one.

The scene was silent, and the live broadcast rooms of the three people were also silent - each guest had their own exclusive live broadcast room, but Xu Jiayan and Su Zhixing were close to Lin Miaomiao, so they could take pictures of everyone around them at the same time.

So the fans and viewers in the three live broadcast rooms just watched dumbfoundedly as Lin Miaomiao cursed the fish while angrily holding a fish in each hand.

[! ! ! ! ]

[!!! What the hell just happened, Lin Miaomiao was catching fish with her bare hands! Right? ]

[Is Lin Miaomiao a human? Is this something a human can do? ]

[Her hand speed is so fast that it becomes a residual image. I can’t even swing it like this, let alone catch a fish. ]

[I just want to ask how Lin Miaomiao practiced. If I had this kind of hand speed, I would definitely become a global celebrity.]

[The previous one makes it sound like you can definitely catch fish if you have fast hands.]

[That's right, e-sports players have fast hands, let them try to see if they can catch it.]

[What does this have to do with e-sports players? Is this a matter of hand speed? Timing, timing is the most important thing, okay? A second faster or a second slower can lead to failure, so compared to hand speed, Lin Miaomiao's ability to capture timing is the most terrifying, okay! ]

[If you can see the right moment, you will definitely be able to catch it? Are you sure your clumsy hands can keep up with the speed of your eyes? The problem is still the speed! ]

[What are you arguing about? Speed ​​and timing are both essential. If you are slower or faster, you can't achieve what Lin Miaomiao did! ]

The three live broadcast rooms were discussing heatedly whether capturing the timing or hand speed is more important, or both are important, and how to achieve it.

The guests, staff and villagers on the shore who were watching the scene also started discussing this issue, but no one had ever seen such a stunt and didn't know which one was more important or which one to practice first. Finally, they came to the conclusion: this girl is amazing!

"That little girl is amazing!"

Applause broke out on the shore, and the villagers gave the highest praise. Xu Jiayan and Su Zhixing looked at the shore and also applauded and cheered.

“Miaomiao is amazing!”

Lin Miaomiao was startled and came back to her senses. She first looked blankly at the people around her who were applauding, then stared blankly at the fish she was holding in her hand. She stared silently at the two fish with wide-open eyes for a few seconds, put the fish back into the bucket silently, and then found that a bucket had appeared at her feet without her knowing.

Lin Miaomiao vaguely remembered that just when she was immersed in catching fish, it seemed that a voice said to her, "Miaomiao, put it here."

It was Xu Jiayan who let it go!

After reacting, Lin Miaomiao turned her angry gaze towards Xu Jiayan, but was met with a pair of bright and happy eyes.

Xu Jiayan clapped her hands in admiration, and when their eyes met, she clapped even harder, expressing her joy without disguising, "Miaomiao, you are great, you are amazing!"

Lin Miaomiao: “…”

It was intentional, Xu Jiayan definitely did it on purpose!

Lin Miaomiao became even angrier when she thought about how she had ruined the mission because of her obsession with catching fish. She was angry at herself for being useless. When she saw the jumping fish, she became playful and couldn't help catching them.

"I want to rest."

Lin Miaomiao turned around and left. She was not at all fragile as she had said before going into the pond because the mud was too thick and she didn't have enough strength to pull herself out. She dug a hole with each step and walked towards the shore at a very fast speed.

The photographer followed her with great effort, reminding her: "Fish, take the fish up too."

"It's too heavy, I can't lift it!"

Lin Miaomiao climbed up the shore without looking back, and sat down on the ground with her back to the fish pond with a huff.

Su Zhixing took over the conversation with a good temper, "I'll carry it. There are only three fish. I'll carry them all up when the bag is full."

Su Zhixing threw away the fishing net and tried to catch fish like Lin Miaomiao. However, not only could he not catch a fish with one hand, he had to use both hands and almost lost himself before he could barely catch one.

Finally, Su Zhixing wiped his face with his sleeve and explained to the camera in a serious tone: "See, it's not that I don't want to catch fish with my bare hands like Miaomiao, it's just that Miaomiao's skills are too good and I can't learn from her!"

"Miao Miao, you should have a good rest. We will take care of the rest."

Xu Jiayan shouted towards the shore, and unlike before, she did not use unconventional means to pull Lin Miaomiao along. She really ignored her and followed Su Zhixing to concentrate on fishing.

Lin Miaomiao was very satisfied with this.

The system was anxious: "You are Xu Jiayan's control group, and you are required to create comparison materials all the time. If you just lie there like this, the comparison effect will be weak, and the audience will soon forget about you. How can we compare them?"
