Fishing Livestream

"Uncle Niu, what's this guy on the field called now? He looks so unlucky, already several fish behind Xiaomin! Weren't the number three players supposed to be the backbone of the team? How did they send a rookie up?" Wang Zhen turned his head to the stage and asked curiously.

Luckily, Guo Limin couldn't hear these comments while competing; if he could, he might have been so angry his organs would burst.

Niu Ben shook his head and said, "This is no rookie! He's the vice captain of Tiancheng Club, Guo Limin, Second Level Competitive Fishing Master! A well-known veteran angler in the community!"

"With this performance, a Second Level Competitive Fishing Master? His master status wasn't bought with money, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

...

Guo Limin was feeling very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable!

Before going up, the team had already made some judgments about the situation on the field. It wasn't wise to compete on basic skills and frequency in the first two segments, so Old Guo had planned to make some changes when he went up.

However, before his adjustments could take effect, Wang Xiaomin had already caught three fish in succession, instantly disrupting his tactical mindset.

Old Guo forcibly controlled his mentality, opened up a new fishing spot, and planned to use a simple fishing method to deal with the current situation.

He had just started at the new spot for a few casts when his eyelid twitched—damn it, Wang Xiaomin immediately copied him and also made a new spot nearby.

And even more excessively, while Old Guo only made one spot, Wang Xiaomin, like a dog marking its territory, made three or four new spots, occupying several left, center, and right front positions all at once.

Seeing this, Yue Feng nodded and smiled, "Not bad, Xiaomin's move to undermine is ruthless! Wang Zhen, Xue Kai! Did you catch anything from this?"

Xue Kai scratched his head, puzzled, "Making so many spots, is it useful? We don't usually play like this!"

Yue Feng didn't answer immediately but turned to Wang Zhen, "Wang Zhen, what do you think?"

Wang Zhen stared at the field for a while, then said, "I don't really understand either, but from what I know about Xiaomin, he's definitely not doing useless work! If you think about it the other way, this simple fishing method must be effective!"

Seeing that the two still didn't grasp the fish situation, Yue Feng didn't continue guiding but explained, "I've mentioned more than once before, the chosen response strategy must match the fish situation. Think about it, how's the fish situation today?

The fish bites are slow, mostly feeding at the bottom, and they're skittish, making it hard to stockpile them by concentrating in one spot! In this case, the simple fishing method is just right!

Xiaomin's modified one-foot kicking float has a fast bottom assault speed, allowing him to maximize the performance advantage by rotating fishing at multiple spots!

I think, from the fishing mindset and adaptability, Xiaomin has already secured an absolute advantage. Even if I were the opponent, I definitely wouldn't have an advantage! This is a tactical suppression that's hard to overcome with basic skills alone!"

After hearing this, Xue Kai's eyes lit up, "So, when I go up later, I can just continue using Xiaomin's fishing method!"

"Pretty much, unless the fish situation changes, it's the optimal solution! But it also depends on the performance of your brother when he goes up in the fourth segment!"

"Oh, great! I wasn't sure before, but now that you've said it, I'm much more confident!"

"Keep watching the competition and think more, combine theory with practice! All these things we discussed in training before, only Xiaomin has fully grasped it. You and Wang Zhen are still missing something! The opportunity is given to you, seize it, don't slack off!"

"Got it!" The two young ones nodded obediently and continued to watch the competition attentively.

Behind them, Taozi, who was seated, also heard Yue Feng instructing the team and covered a smile at the corner of her mouth, then winked vigorously at the doll.

Always focused on the competition, the doll seemed to realize something, leaned over, and whispered a few words in Taozi's ear, causing her face to blush, surprisingly shy.

...

The battle on the field continued, but just as Yue Feng analyzed, under the current fish conditions, Wang Xiaomin's strategy had secured an absolute advantage, something Old Guo couldn't catch up with basic skills alone.

Less than five minutes after setting up the three spots, Wang Xiaomin went around casting like a landlord collecting rent, fishing up one fish after another that entered the spots.

The gap in the number of catches continued to widen, growing from the initial six fish to twelve, with Wang Xiaomin alone doubling the result.

Below the stage, in the Tiancheng fishing tackle rest area.

Captain Qiu Guoyun's brow was nearly knotted with worry. Originally, in the lineup, Old Guo was the most stable link, not overly assertive but certainly solid enough on defense.

Unexpectedly, the actual combat situation saw the opponent breaking through the most solid link, using openly legitimate tactics.

"Damn it, what kind of float is this, getting in position so quickly? It doesn't even make any movement through the water!"

"Both using the same fishing method at the bottom, Old Guo is struggling! Doesn't look like he can take advantage at all!"

"It's not about taking advantage anymore; if the situation continues, even the shorts might not stay on!"

Niu Zhuangzhuang, Sun Hao, and Zhang Xufei were discussing the problem, but with the special functions of the float and the current fishing method, there was almost no solution for today's fish conditions, not even Captain Qiu Guoyun had a way.

"Enough, stop arguing! I'll go up in the next segment and try out our secret weapon!" Qiu Guoyun waved his hand, making a decision.

"Taking it out now? Isn't it too early? Shouldn't we keep it for the final four?" Niu Zhuangzhuang continued to ask.

Qiu Guoyun gave Niu Zhuangzhuang an unhappy look, "If we get eliminated this round, we go straight home, what final four are you talking about? Listen to me, when I go up in the fourth segment, you all keep a close watch, and if there are issues, Old Zhang, you research improvements offstage! A disadvantage of twelve fish still has a chance!"

Zhang Xufei nodded, "Okay! If we can gather the fish density, there's still hope! By the way, besides the secret weapon, do you want to adjust to a long body float for bottom assault, Old Qiu? Can save time on the process if possible!"

Mentioning floats sparked a flash of inspiration in Qiu Guoyun's mind.

The next second, he decisively opened the Float Box and took out a classic old version of the long body float he had been saving. Gritting his teeth, he used scissors to violently modify the float.

The carbon foot at the bottom was cut in half, significantly lowering the float's center of gravity, and the float tail's tip was trimmed by six notches. The well-preserved 49cm float, after trimming, was left just over thirty, almost as modified as Wang Xiaomin's steel foot float.
