Fishing Livestream

In the group chat, there was all sorts of bragging, joking, and egging on, while the competition on stage had already entered garbage time.

Floating fishing is like a nuclear bomb in competitive fishing techniques; successfully luring fish to the surface to bite the bait is pretty much a guaranteed victory.

Although Wang Zhen's basic skills were just slightly less refined than the other team members, it was only a relative disadvantage. At the very least, he was much faster than the angler from the neighboring Fish Hunter team, who was fishing at a fixed depth.

He frequently caught two fish at once, and if the fish bites slowed down, Wang Zhen would naturally cast a few more scoops to gather the fish back, always maintaining a high speed of fish biting and catching.

In this almost mechanical state of catching fish, the fourth quarter ended quickly, and the whistle blew as Zhao Zheng casually made his way on stage, almost brushing against the angler from the neighboring team.

Three young trainees hurried onto the stage in a flustered manner, unlike Zhao Zheng, who had been exposed to competitive fishing even earlier than Yue Feng and had already attained professional angler skills while studying with the Hua Clan.

In this dominance-through-floating type of match, he was very relaxed, noticing the guy next to him watching, he grinned and nodded at him.

Sitting in the fishing position, he quickly found his rhythm and soon returned to the high-speed fish-catching state, with a rhythm that was staggeringly stable.

Seeing Zhao Zheng's steady handwork, Yu Wensheng, the bottom-ranking Fish Hunter team captain, felt completely off his game.

Experienced anglers will always have a basic judgment of their opponents. It's not the terrifying ones who seem extremely nervous; the most alarming are those who are joking around and unaffected by tension,

whose mental stability is extremely solid. They don't even know what nervousness means, with agile thinking and no nervousness, it's easy to perform beyond usual in competition.

Yu Wensheng was the same type of angler as Zhao Zheng. Watching his teammates being thoroughly suppressed, he had already made plans offstage about what to do after getting on stage. Once on stage, old Yu steeled his heart and began crazily casting his line to gather fish.

From his spot observing offstage, Yue Feng noticed the actions of the angler Yu Wensheng next door, and patiently scrutinized it for a few minutes. Subsequently, he summoned Xiaomin, Xue Kai, and Wang Zhen over again.

"Feng bro, what's up again?" Wang Zhen curiously asked.

Yue Feng gestured with his chin toward Yu Wensheng, who was frantically casting his line on stage.

"A test for you guys, what's that angler next door trying to do now? What's the pros and cons? Use your brains; if you give a good answer, I'll treat you to Yili Four Circle ice cream!"

Prompted by Yue Feng, the three immediately scrutinized closely.

After a few seconds, Wang Xiaomin was the first to raise his hand to speak: "I can confirm, he's trying to increase the bait casting and do floating fishing! I personally guess he's trying to save face and at the same time test the fish conditions! But I feel it's a bit late for that now; the fish density around his spot isn't as fast as it was in the earlier quarters! It's very doubtful that he'll succeed!"

Wang Zhen added: "I think the main purpose is to test the fish conditions primarily. Losing is a done deal, but if he can pinpoint the fish conditions now, he might win the revival match!

After finishing with the target fish, there's half a day to rest, and in the afternoon, the revival match is about target fish again; if floating fishing succeeds, the chance to win the revival match is big!"

Xue Kai shook his head: "I don't quite agree with you guys. I feel he's experimenting with the bait taste!

Don't know if you've noticed, but he's not using a fixed Loose Powder, but two different Loose Powders separated by a crescent box! And the landing spots of the Loose Powders aren't the same!"

The three people presented different perspectives, and Yue Feng smiled broadly.

Among the three, considering problem comprehensiveness, Wang Xiaomin is the most comprehensive. In foresight, Wang Zhen's judgment is the most forward-looking, yet the most observant is Xue Kai.

Only Xue Kai realized that Yu Wensheng wasn't using the same Loose Powder, and the gathering spots weren't in the same place.

This point alone overthrows Wang Xiaomin's assumption that the other party plans to do floating fishing! Even bait concentration doesn't attract fish, not to mention two gathering spots. If the goal was to do floating fishing, he wouldn't be acting like this.

Yue Feng: "Xue Kai is observant! You two tend to take things for granted! A lot of times, an angler's actions aren't always as complicated as you might think.

If you over-interpret, you might misjudge! Or if the opponent is an old hand at this, they might deliberately lead you into a trap, and then when the strategy is flawed, it can't just be remedied by skill or basic ability!

In this regard, Xue Kai's performance is the best; carefully observing the opponent's fishing details and judging what they aim to do based on the actual details! Did you get it?"

"Oh!" the three chorused in response.

"Here. Count how many people, one for each! Yili Four Circle, arranged! The rest is a tip for running errands!" Yue Feng handed fifty cash over to Wang Zhen.

"This isn't enough, is it? Yili Four Circle is eight bucks! Our team plus Feng bro makes six, plus Sister Wawa and Uncle Niu!"

Wang Zhen rubbed his face, looking at the fifty bucks with a conflicted expression.

Yue Feng gave Wang Zhen a light kick on the butt: "Who said you're included? Didn't I just say only winners get a share! You and Wang Xiaomin don't, so that's six costing 48, and two bucks left!"

"Alright then! I'll go buy it!" Wang Zhen rubbed his butt, turned around, and left.

"Hahaha, employee abuse scenario!"

"Feng bro is too much, says no snack, truly no snacks? Favoritism, aren't you afraid the team members will defect!"

"Eight bucks a pop, not cheap! I only eat the one-buck old popsicles!"

"Wang Zhen's expression rubbing his face was hilarious!"

Yue Feng, looking composed, spoke to Wang Xiaomin and Xue Kai next to him: "This also counts as a test, to see how many he buys back!

Since he's a trainee under me, I naturally have to be responsible for him, improving fishing skills is as crucial as propriety and personal cultivation! I don't want to train a bunch of team members who look down on everyone wherever they go!"

"That's it, Feng bro's waiting to see, huh? Let's see how Wang Zhen fares?"

"Best solution: spend his own money to cover, buy two Four Circles and share with Xiaomin one, give the rest to everyone! Passable: buy two one-buck old popsicles for Xiaomin and himself! Failing: buy two-buck ice cream for himself, ignore Xiaomin!"

"Brother upstairs is strong! A tiny thing and Feng bro sure has deep intentions; even the price is calculated!"

"Business training and propriety are equally vital, kudos to Feng bro! The last to say this was Guo Degang from Deyun Society! Though not in the same circle, I know Feng bro genuinely wishes well for his team!"

"Carrying the captain's reputation but worrying like a parent or mentor, with such a mentor, apprentices won't go astray!"

Within minutes, Wang Zhen returned carrying a bag of ice creams.
