Fishing Livestream

Just when everyone thought the competition would continue at this pace until the end, a sudden change occurred in the arena.

The previously dull and almost waveless water surface suddenly rippled as the wind picked up!

Feeling the chill, Yue Feng explained, "If the wind blows for a while, the fish may start biting faster! You can feel it on the spot; apart from the chill, the air pressure seems a bit higher when the wind blows! Xiaomin, be careful when it's your turn, the fish situation might change!"

"Got it, Brother Feng!" Wang Xiaomin nodded.

The situation developed faster than Yue Feng expected, and even before the second round ended, the fish started biting significantly faster.

The anglers who were having tough times earlier, one by one, started catching fish!

Xue Kai, who was reminded before going on stage, quickly noticed the change in the fish situation. He immediately switched to using "Loose Powder," which he hadn't used much in the first half, casting twice and keeping one in the ready position, seizing the first opportunity to catch fish at the feeding spot.

After casting about ten rounds of Loose Powder, he kept one line ready as usual. When the float dropped smoothly into position, it made a perfect hook just above the bottom.

Both the anglers on stage and the audience below felt a jolt of excitement,

This is promising! The fish are reaching the bottom.

Xue Kai reacted immediately, lifting the rod to hook the fish, catching another one, and then abandoning the bite to cast wildly again, teasing the fish into the feeding area.

Seeing this performance, the corners of Yue Feng's mouth curled up as he whispered something to Wang Xiaomin.

This seemed to have magical effects, and after hearing it, the previously stern-faced Wang Xiaomin now bore an expression of excitement, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Brother Feng, are you serious?" Wang Xiaomin asked.

Yue Feng nodded, "Yes, really!"

"Great, I'll give it a try!" Wang Xiaomin nodded vigorously.

As Xue Kai continued his aggressive Loose Powder strategy, more and more fish gathered at the feeding spot. For the last seven or eight minutes, Xue Kai didn't catch a fish until the second round ended.

Wang Xiaomin practically sprinted onto the stage, took the rod from his brother Xue Kai, and immediately entered combat mode.

"Whoa, what did Brother Feng secretly say to Xiaomin?"

"He must have made a big promise; look at the smile on Xiaomin's face!"

"Xue Kai sure is generous, willingly playing the supporting role, helping his brother Xiaomin gather fish, what loyalty!"

At this moment, Taozi's voice came from behind.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, what did you just say to Xiaomin? Now that he's on stage, chatting won't disturb him. Can you tell me?"

Yue Feng candidly replied, "Nothing much, just told him if he performs well this round, the club will cover a nice dinner for you tonight!

Xiaomin trains hard, but his family's financial situation is a bit tight. He sends most of his monthly salary back home, barely keeping any money himself!"

"What? Just that? Who pays doesn't matter, I could pitch in too!" Taozi was a bit disappointed, thinking it was something else, only to find it's just about a meal, yet it excited him so much.

Yue Feng chuckled and shook his head, "No, you're mistaken, the meaning is different!

If you don't believe me, ask the 'Doll' sister next to you!

When we first met, I was penniless, just running a tiny fishing tackle store! My streaming account only had a little over a hundred thousand followers. But 'Doll' was already a mega influencer with millions of fans!

Do you know what she ate the first time we met?"

"What?"

Yue Feng's words had clearly stirred the curiosity of Taozi and the other viewers in the livestream.

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Boiled eggs! I bought them from an old lady at the night market in town, boiled them, and tucked them in my pocket to give her when I met her! She was pretty happy!"

"What?" Taozi was momentarily dumbfounded by the answer, her pretty large eyes blinking towards 'Doll' for help.

'Doll', with a smile on her face, nodded her head to confirm Yue Feng's story but remained silent.

Yue Feng continued, "You're all still young, and your understanding of this society may not be mature enough.

Also, your family conditions are much better than Xiaomin's! This too is a significant barrier in your relationship!

If you want to develop, you can't just expect yourself and your parents to not care! Instead, you should encourage him to work hard and achieve something in his own field!

A man needs to gain recognition from others through effort and perseverance!

'Doll' sister and I have already met the parents, and they seemed satisfied. I hope if you truly like him, you'll spur him to strive for his own value instead of pulling him away from his path and wasting the most precious years! Now that I've said this, did you understand?"

"Um, kind of…understood… But is money really that important?"

Taozi, overwhelmed by Yue Feng's words, was momentarily speechless, not having worried about money before, and still not fully grasping some of Yue Feng's earlier points.

"Money isn't important, but the ability to make money is! To me, wealth is just a byproduct of personal growth in capability! Even if I had nothing now, I wouldn't lack the ability and courage to start over! I hope Xiaomin also becomes such a person!

If you really like him and wish for a long-term relationship, you'll need to recognize this! So, did you understand this time?"

With this alternate phrasing, Taozi nodded her head after hearing it, "Yes, I understood this time! You're right, I think my dad might have mentioned something similar before!"

Yue Feng nodded and pointed to the stage, "Watch the competition; this guy's talent in fishing is no less than mine! He's a promising prospect! See if he can perform exceptionally this round!"

"Okay!"

...

The brief conversation ended, but the sensation stirred in the livestream by Yue Feng's words was far from over.

"Whoa, after hearing Brother Feng, it feels like the past thirty years were wasted!"

"The nagging father trope, yet upon reflection, it makes perfect sense!"

"The fishing streamer has turned to life advice, wooing pretty young ladies online!"

"Whoa, just realized, who's this nice-sounding young lady? Could it be that Shuimitao actually flew over?"

"Whoa, I just realized too! This is ridiculous, how can us single dogs bear this!"

"I can't stand it, I want to learn fishing too, it can bring female fans! Judging by the conversation, she seems to be a little rich lady!"

"Miss Shuimitao, do you need a boyfriend? I'm 155 tall, a pro at blending potions!"

Only then did Yue Feng realize he had exposed Shuimitao, so he promptly set a cartoon avatar for her to prevent accidental captures on the camera, avoiding unnecessary trouble later.
