"Ah Qing! Ah Qing! We're over here!"
Ah Qing came out from the aisle onto the stage to receive the award. Momo, with a backpack, jumped up, showing a radiant smile, waving and shouting at Ah Qing on the stage.
Beside Momo, carrying backpacks as well, were Tang You, Lingren, and Yuyu. They also jumped up and waved at Ah Qing, signaling they're watching!
"Hm? Why are Momo and the others..."
Ah Qing had sharp eyesight and immediately spotted Momo and the others in the front row below the stage, looking utterly surprised as if she didn't expect them to be there.
"What's strange about them being here?" Ansheng, who was embraced by Ah Qing, glanced sideways at her and couldn't help commenting:
"Momo, Youyou, and Yuyu all come from the Department of Agricultural Resources and Environment. Don't judge Brother Fu and Sister Fu's pocket money by your common sense."
The Agricultural Resources and Environment program usually isn't chosen by anyone who doesn't have a few chemical plants, mines, or clothing factories at home. And at Xinxing Agricultural Science College, the environment program is well-known for being full of wealthy students.
The new semester starts with them pooling a few million on their own to buy farming tools for coursework. It's incredibly extravagant.
When Ah Qing learned the world record was awarding her, she immediately announced it in the group.
Coincidentally, today was Friday. With Momo and Youyou's financial power, chartering a plane is a breeze, let alone buying a direct flight ticket to Xia Dong.
"Seems... makes sense, Momo's family does have quite a large factory, and Youyou's family is in the coal business."
Ah Qing scratched the fox's butt, the awkward and shy feelings in her heart eased a bit, inhaled the fragrant air from the little fox, and walked to the host.
"This honor of 'World's Best', you are the creator..."
"Please take the supreme scepter, at this moment the entire Blue Star will witness your brilliance and miracle..." the host gestured towards the golden fishing rod, indicating Ah Qing should pick up the fishing rod from the display stand.
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, Ah Qing put the little fox back on her shoulder, took a few deep breaths, stepped forward, and grabbed the golden fishing rod with one hand ready to lift it.
But as Ah Qing exerted a bit of force, she froze for a moment, showing a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
This golden fishing rod... is very heavy, its weight can compete with a sack of rice at home, over fifty pounds?
"Could this thing... be pure gold?"
A thought flashed in Ah Qing's mind, she tightened her arm holding the fishing rod handle, and lifted the 36-kilogram fishing rod high above her head. Under the stage spotlights, the solid gold, jewel-encrusted fishing rod emitted a dazzling firelight.
Surrounded by the colorful light refracted by the gemstones, Ah Qing was enveloped in a layer of radiant light.
Ansheng, lying on Ah Qing's shoulder, glanced at the helicopter camera above, and a small smile appeared on his lips as if he was asserting something.
The WeChat name "Unflyable Nationally", but if you keep making noise, the name can certainly be changed to "Global Express Rapid Delivery".
"Congratulations Ms. Yu Xueqing, she is the first recipient of the world record 'Best', an unshakeable champion in the field of fishing."
"We shall offer testimony and honor in the relevant field to the champion..." the host smiled as he stepped forward, taking out the official world record medal, a certificate framed with Ah Qing's name, and a gold medal.
The four-pound medal fell into Ah Qing's hand, her expression froze, and she looked in astonishment at the host.
It....it's pure gold again.
The world record officials are truly extravagant!
Thanks to the little fox, who occasionally snatches a few pounds of gold jewelry back from Lin Ying's family, Ah Qing is quite knowledgeable about the size and weight of gold jewelry within ten pounds.
As soon as the gold medal was in her hands, judging from the size and weight, Ah Qing immediately determined the medal was 99.99 pure gold.
"May I ask, did you originally plan to use threaded steel and cable to fish because your initial target was the orca in the lake?" With all the certificates awarded, the host smiled and asked about Ah Qing's fishing journey.
"Uh..." Ah Qing's expression was subtle; she looked at the host who inquired and said: "Perhaps... perhaps it was?"
"Then... what bait did you use?"
"Fries..."
The confident, calm look on the host's cheeks slowly turned into a forced smile as he heard Ah Qing's journey.
The orca wanted some fries, so... it came ashore?
With that explanation, it's difficult for me to continue asking!
The host's mouth twitched, but due to the live broadcast, he could only press on with the questions, while Ah Qing answered truthfully, making the stage atmosphere somewhat awkward, but the fishing enthusiasts below recorded and analyzed every word.
...
"Finally finished the award ceremony... Ah Qing sighed in relief, carrying the golden fishing rod out from the backstage onto the open ground, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
The pressure from interacting with people is much greater than with other animal friends, especially under those spotlights.
"Ah Qing!"
Momo giggle as she led the others around to the stage entrance, calling out to Ah Qing: "How was the live award ceremony? Isn't it fun?"
"What's fun about it, felt more like an interrogation." Ah Qing showed an expression of helplessness and teased back, then curiously looked at Momo and said: "By the way, how did you guys come to Xia Dong, did you take leave like me?"
"No leave taken, it's just that Yuyu had a breakup, her boyfriend was tamed by the Four Lovelies, we originally planned to relax this weekend, then you happened to message..." Momo gestured at Yuyu with her mouth.
"........" Yuyu rolled her eyes, already unwilling to mention the unpleasant memories.
"Let that jerk go to hell, ungrateful scoundrel, adorable Huhu is still better, after a few days, it looks even plumper..." Yuyu sighed, then eagerly approached, looking at the little fox and murmuring.
"Ying..."
Ansheng raised his paw, patting Yuyu's cheek, rolled an eye, and let out a whimper to Ah Qing:
"Ah Qing... I have many friends on the grounds, I'm going over to say hi, remember to call me when you go home. I didn't sleep well last night and am a bit tired."
After saying goodbye, Ansheng left, preparing to find Lin Ying and sprinkle some hormones on [Wisdom].
"Hey hey hey! Ah Qing your fox ran away!" Yuyu saw the fox leap and hit the ground, its fluffy tail hung low, rushing away quickly, immediately grabbed Ah Qing's shoulder, reminding that the fox ran.
This isn't the campus, the neighboring area is the pure natural wilderness.
If the fox runs in, it's gone for good?
"No worries, Xiaolan just went to find some friends to play with," Ah Qing smiled at Yuyu: "Xiaolan knows how to come home..."
"Um....provided there's no black business cars, but I think Xiaolan should be afraid to get in the cars now."
Ah Qing, Momo, and the others are used to the little fox's love of shopping, almost desensitized.
But for Yuyu seeing it for the first time, she was paranoid as if she'd just left home, feeling the window, door, and gas were left on.
"Who raises a pet so carelessly, if Huhu really runs away someday, you'll cry your heart out." Yuyu, with a black line on her face, looked at Momo and the others, feeling that their thinking had been influenced by Ah Qing.
"Forget it..."
"I'll go watch Huhu! So he doesn't really get lost in the forest, and I also want to try the feel of winter fur Huhu, usually, Huhu isn't close to me..."
As Yuyu spoke, a sinister grin appeared on her cheeks.
In the dormitory, Huhu's preferred embrace is Ah Qing, secondly Momo, or nestled on Tang You's lap pawing at the table watching Tang You play games.
Lingren can only queue; Huhu complains her arm strength isn't enough, can't carry Huhu on a sprint.
But.....
Yuyu's turn to pet Huhu ranks even lower than Lingren, just a couple of strokes and Huhu runs back to Ah Qing's arms.
"Hehe... now no one else competes, it's my exclusive time, isn't it?"
Yuyu joyfully bounced and chased after.
Momo watched, an odd expression appeared on her face, and she secretly remarked in her heart:
"Chasing the little fox?"
"Oh fish! Wish you could really catch up... I tried trailing twice and couldn't keep up, the little fox's climbing ability is beyond imagination."
