Fishing Livestream

"Holy crap! This Big Qing must be over ten pounds!"

"Over ten pounds? I estimate it's nearly twenty pounds. Look how thick it is!"

"This is great, one fish saved the day! Hahaha!"

The tense crowd below the stage finally relaxed. With this fish as a buffer, even if they don't catch anything in the next three minutes, they've already won, effectively entering garbage time.

Niu Ben saw the fish being brought in and couldn't help but smile, "Not bad! This big fish was caught nicely! Xue Kai's technique in playing the fish was spot on! Just now, watching him had me nervous, afraid something might go wrong!"

Wang Xiaomin pouted, "Although Kaizi is usually low-key and not very noticeable, his skills are definitely not shabby. He's asked Feng Ge so many times about playing big fish with fine lines, and has practiced in real combat countless times, right, Feng Ge?"

Yue Feng nodded, "Xiaomin is right on this. Xue Kai takes his basic training very seriously!

You should have realized now that any training, no matter how unused for the time being, becomes useful at crucial moments, and can even turn the tide of battle!

This big fish was handled well; Xue Kai at least deserves half the credit! The others did well, too; they deserve the other half!"

"We're in the final four! Awesome! Hahaha"

...

At Yuefeng's side, everyone was extremely excited, but in the Tiancheng Club's resting area, even the captain, Qiu Guoyun, shook his head helplessly; there was no chance left.

Qiu Guoyun: "Pack up. Once this round is over, we'll prepare to leave. This match is gone!"

"Damn it, this is so frustrating! A good match turned into this mess!"

Sun Hao spit on the ground, "Damn it, Yue Feng and his bunch of brats are really something! Watching Xue Kai handle the fish doesn't make him seem like a rookie at all; his skills are proficient and not lacking compared to ours. Where did they find this bunch of monsters?"

Guo Limin turned to Qiu Guoyun: "When we return, I'll write the report! Our information on Yuefeng Club was far off the mark compared to reality. If we take Yue Feng, who's like a stabilizing anchor, into account, their overall strength already surpasses ours!

This is a major lesson. If we don't learn from it and adjust, when we meet them again in the Club Championship finals, we'll lose even more embarrassingly!"

Qiu Guoyun glanced at vice-captain Old Guo and shook his head: "I'm the captain; I will write the report! I understand your thoughts, but a loss is a loss. I won't shirk responsibility or let others take the blame! When we get back, let's analyze and reflect, and aim to reclaim our reputation in the finals!"

Guo Limin clicked his tongue and sighed in frustration: "Sigh!"

...

A few minutes later, the fifth round ended.

Scores and weights were tallied, and the final results came out quickly.

Yuefeng Club's targeted fish plus mixed catch total weight: 53.3 kilograms.

Tiancheng Club's two matches total weight: 34.9 kilograms. Completely overwhelmed.

After tallying the scores, the curious referee staff even weighed the big one Xue Kai caught separately.

The weight of that single fish reached 9.6 kilograms, just a smidgen off 20 pounds.

After the final round, Xue Kai strolled down with his gear, a confident smile on his face, and his back straight. It can be said that after this fishing contest, his confidence was completely built up, and his whole demeanor had changed quite a bit.

"Feng Ge, Uncle Niu, how was my performance in this round?" Xue Kai asked with a grin.

Yue Feng nodded, "Good, very good! You didn't embarrass our team! We're in the final four. Tonight, I'll treat everyone to a big feast again. Didn't get enough crayfish last time? We'll continue tonight, all you can eat!"

"Long live Feng Ge!"

"Long live the team!"

The young ones cheered excitedly at the thought of food, and the atmosphere heated up even more.

"Alright, quiet down, pack up your gear, and let's head back!" Yue Feng gestured while signaling to start packing up.

At that moment, Taozi, who had been quietly standing by, came forward.

"Feng Ge, Sister Wa, Xiaomin, and everyone, I'm saying goodbye. I'm preparing to leave!"

Wang Xiaomin got anxious, "Leaving? Now? Can't you stay another day? We finish the match tomorrow!"

Wa also chimed in, "Xiaomin's right, there are only three more rounds tomorrow. How about leaving after tomorrow?"

Taozi shook her head, "I came out for the weekend, already took a day's leave. My instructor messaged me; I need to head back today. I've brought my luggage and booked my flight already!"

Wang Xiaomin: "Then..."

Taozi: "I'm really happy to have met you all and stayed for so long! I'll definitely visit the club again during the holidays!"

"What time's your flight?"

"4:50, still have an hour and a half, plenty of time!"

After hearing that, Yue Feng nodded and turned to Zhao Zheng, "Hey, Zheng Ge, could you do me a favor? Take Taozi to the airport. Xiaomin doesn't have a license!"

Zhao Zheng nodded and took the car keys, "Come with me, Taozi. I'll drive you! We'll take the big Lexus!"

Taozi nodded, "Thank you, Feng Ge, thank you, Zheng Ge!"

Zhao Zheng went to get the car and quickly drove it over. Taozi loaded her suitcase with a hint of reluctance and got in.

At this moment, Yue Feng nudged the dazed Wang Xiaomin, "What are you doing? She's leaving, hurry and get in the car to see her off! Thick-headed!"

With Yue Feng's reminder, Wang Xiaomin scratched his head and shamelessly got in the car.

"We're off then!" Zhao Zheng called out from the window and quickly drove off with a press of the gas pedal.

Watching the car leave, Wa seemed like she had something on her mind.

"What's on your mind?" Yue Feng gently bumped her with his shoulder and asked.

Wa softly mused, "I used to feel so young in both mind and body, but seeing Taozi, why do I suddenly feel old?"

Yue Feng grinned, "Aren't you just 18? Already feeling old? Nonsense, let's get back to the car!"

"Alright, since you're sweet-talking me, I might eat a little less tonight! Let's go!"

The team members each got into their cars and quickly left the competition base.

...

In the afternoon, at the White Building Apartments in the Hua Clan Factory area.

After today's match, the list of the final four was quickly announced.

Yuefeng Fishing Club, Hua Clan Fishing Club, Tianyuan Youth Training Club, and the very lucky Fish Hunter Club successfully entered the regional finals.

Niu Ben got hold of all the available data on the four clubs from friends and quickly compiled it into a complete set of information.
