Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Debut
"Wow, such a magnetic voice, but the live stream angle is on the water surface, can't see the face!"
"Want to see the face!"
"Want to see the drone!"
"Upstairs +1"
Since Yue Feng had just laid down the nest and there was still some time before starting to fish, he decided to fulfill the viewers' wishes on a whim.
The drone slightly increased its altitude then swiveled its perspective to Yue Feng's face.
Yue Feng was quite handsome himself, and with the live stream's built-in third-level beauty filter, his face under the camera was sharply contoured, and the beauty filter made him much whiter. With his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, he almost resembled a popular young actor.
"Wow wow wow! The drone actually moved, it really did! It must be above the water surface now, really streaming with a drone!"
"Is the person upstairs a true straight man? With such a handsome face, how can you still be focused on the drone?"
"So handsome +1, damn, even I'm getting hard!"
"Get lost upstairs, asking for the bro's contact info!"
This was something Yue Feng hadn't anticipated beforehand. Resigned, he said, "If you like the host, please hit follow!"
Follow +1
Follow +1
Follow +1
...
There were a total of 17 people in the live stream, and suddenly there were 15 more followers, which was a terrifying effect.
Drowning Fish gifted a Rocket ×1
Drowning Fish gifted Beer ×10
Drowning Fish gifted a Gift 666 ×1
At that moment, the notifications for gifts started to float on Yue Feng's backend.
Drowning Fish has arrived.
"Haha, welcome Drowning Fish, my very first fan. Thanks for the gifts, bro!"
"The streaming effect is much better than last night; the angle is way more comfortable to view. Caught any fish yet? Probably the fish aren't biting fast at this time, you started streaming a bit late!" Drowning Fish asked.
With a thought, Yue Feng shifted the drone's view back to the water surface.
"Just finished setting up the nest, but should catch some fish soon. There are already some fish signs, not sure if the live stream's resolution is high enough!"
At a glance, nothing seemed off about the water surface, but when the resolution was set to the maximum, you could indeed see fish signs faintly appearing on the water surface.
"Holy shit! Everyone try setting the resolution to 4k, you can actually see the fish signs on the water, what kind of camera does the host use, it's so clear!"
As someone suggested, others hurriedly switched to the highest resolution, and just as Yue Feng had said, the fish signs faintly surfaced. In ultra-clear mode, it felt as if they were right there, the effect was incredibly great.
Ever since he mastered Basic Fish Emotion Perception, Yue Feng's ability to judge fish conditions had greatly improved. Through the subtle movements of the float and the wind and movements around the nest area, combined with the day's temperature and pressure, he could tell how the fish were behaving around the nest.
Just then, the float at the nest moved gently.
It was a small bite, not more than about one scale in magnitude. Yue Feng, who was used to the Peacock Feather Float, did not lift the rod.
Such movements on an ordinary float might have meant the bait was already in the fish's mouth, but on Yue Feng's Peacock Feather Float, it was just the fish tentatively bumping the bait underwater.
However, under the high-definition live broadcast, the viewers in the live stream room were not having it.
"Can the host even fish, he's not striking even with such clear bites?"
"A single look and he hesitates, definitely got it, yet he doesn't strike!"
"It seems that God is still fair, handsome though he may be, but the technique isn't there!"
"Getting such big bites in spring is already quite good, the host is a bit greedy!" said Drowning Fish.
Wen Dong wasn't upset and explained, "Hehe, the hook wasn't in its mouth, my float gives a different reading from others!"
"Host is full marks for faking it, is your float imported from the United States, it was obviously a bite and you're still not satisfied, waiting for a night float?"
"The person above is so unprofessional, Americans don't do Taiwan Fishing, where would the float come from!"
"Waiting for a night float +1, forced explanation is the most deadly! The host is a bit stubborn!"
While the live stream room was intensely discussing, Yue Feng's float struck again.
One could see the float giving a slight twitch akin to a bite, followed by a sharp decisive jerk. The second movement was nearly a double length in amplitude, a jerk that any fisherman would know meant a catch.
"Now that's a real biting action!" Yue Feng called out, flicking his wrist lightly, lifting the rod to accurately spear the fish.
Seeing Yue Feng hooked a fish, the entire live stream room suddenly went silent.
This silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and if it weren't for the live broadcast signal indicating no issues, Yue Feng would have even suspected he was offline.
After a long while, someone timidly typed the first sentence, breaking the eerie atmosphere in the room.
"Damn! Who just saw that exaggerated jerking movement, was it a carp? It's too early for that this season, carps shouldn't be biting much at the start of spring!"
"Now I believe, it's not that the host is bad, it's that I messed up!"
"I messed up too, been fishing for so many years, never seen such a beautiful strike!"
"Just realized, the host's float is freaking awesome, super clear, and the fish biting action is great!"
"What brand is the host's float, such a beautiful bite, need a recommendation!"
"Need recommendation +1"
"Need recommendation +2"
"Need recommendation +10086"
In two rounds, the crucian carp was already out of the water, weighing three to four catties. Yue Feng unhooked it and brought it home, then he finally had time to check the messages in the live stream room on his phone.
"Hehe, the float I used was a gift, it must be considered a handcrafted custom version, you can't buy it on the market!" Yue Feng subtly bragged again.
"Would you part with the float you use personally? I really liked that float, money is no issue!" Drowning Fish added.
Yue Feng rejected without hesitation, "Hehe, it's a gift from someone, it's not appropriate to give it away to someone else, I'll get you a suitable one if I get the chance!"
"That's fine! As long as it performs well, money is no issue! Actually, I'm also quite interested in the drone you use for live streaming, I just called DJI to inquire, the consumer version of drones can support real-time video streaming, but the stability and clarity of your drone is just too high!"
Seeing this message, Yue Feng was slightly stunned, just as he had expected, someone had taken an interest in his drone.
"The consumer version should be much inferior, the one I use was arranged by a friend, not for sale publicly, some things aren't for civilian use, so…" Yue Feng made up an excuse nonchalantly.
"Hehe, it's confidential, I understand, it has military grade!" said Drowning Fish.
Yue Feng was worried about how to explain this, but Drowning Fish came up with a reasonable explanation on his own, leaving Yue Feng no choice but to ambiguously say, "Hehe, long live understanding!"
