Fishing Livestream

Xue Kai: "Zhao Zheng, it seems like the pit you dug farther to the left has started working. Isn't this the plum blossom fishing method we used before! The fish are just a bit more cautious and slow. If it were me, I'd reinforce the pit farther as well!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhao Zheng nodded and said to Yue Feng, "Well done, all that effort wasn't wasted. These young guys are starting to use their heads in fishing!"

Yue Feng smiled and nodded, "That's right, Xue Kai and Wang Zhen are catching on and making progress! They're a bit later than Wang Xiaomin, but catching on now is still timely!"

Mentioning Wang Xiaomin, Yue Feng suddenly slapped his forehead as he remembered something, and hurriedly checked the time on his phone.

"Oh damn, I got so focused on the competition that I forgot to send someone to pick up Wang Xiaomin! I promised him I'd bring him over to watch the competition this afternoon after his morning treatment!"

"Uh, I forgot too. How about I go now?" Zhao Zheng asked.

Yue Feng was about to agree when his phone vibrated. He looked at the caller ID; it was Wang Xiaomin calling.

"Captain, come pick us up at the entrance! We can't get through the gate without a participant pass!" Wang Xiaomin's voice came through the phone.

"Oh damn, you came by yourself? Wait there, I'm coming!"

Yue Feng replied quickly and, not caring about the competition on the ground, dashed straight to the entrance.

Minutes later, Yue Feng picked up Wang Xiaomin and his companion Taozi.

"Feng bro!" Wang Xiaomin waved his left hand, his right hand still a bit stiff, but the cast had been removed.

"Feng bro!" Taozi sweetly greeted.

Yue Feng scratched his head apologetically, "Uh, I was focused on choosing Tianyuan as an opponent for revenge in the afternoon and forgot to send a car for you! Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"With such an important match going on, I didn't want to distract you! I guessed you just got busy and forgot! It's fine, Taozi called a rideshare and brought me here, no problem! How's the match going? Why isn't it streaming?"

Wang Xiaomin wasn't showing any signs of being upset from being overlooked, grinning widely and flashing his white teeth.

"We didn't stream because discussing tactics isn't convenient for streaming. Let's head back to the spectator area, and I'll fill you in slowly!"

Soon, the three of them returned to the spectator area.

The team greeted Wang Xiaomin warmly, their relationship not distant because of his hospital stay, but closer instead.

Taozi stayed by Wang Xiaomin's side, gripping the hem of her coat like a clingy bird, their rapidly progressing relationship evident in the details.

With six minutes left in the second session, just as Wang Xiaomin settled in, Wang Zhen caught another fish on the field.

"Another engineered carp?" Wang Xiaomin glanced briefly at the catch and made a precise judgment.

"Yeah, we have a mix of sizes in the pit. The weight competition is primarily focusing on bottom fishing to catch larger engineered carp. Your bro successfully set them up in the first session, and now we have a solid lead!"

"Oh, that's great!" Wang Xiaomin responded, watching intently.

In just two or three minutes of observing, Wang Xiaomin had already precisely assessed the fish situation on the field: the fish were slow to bite, cautious, and there were small fry interfering — a very standard yet somewhat representative fishing condition.

"Feng bro, who's up in the third session?"

Yue Feng: "I'm going myself. It's almost time to switch players, just watch me take care of them!"

"Oh, if you're up, that's steady! Wang Zhen performed well in the second session!"

Soon, the second session drew to a close, and Wang Zhen had set up three distant small pits, catching 11 fish in this session, two more than the first.

Meanwhile, at Tianyuan's spot, they had several small crucian carp; the weight was unclear, but the truly weighty engineered carp had only two catches, one less than in the first session.

"Attention all anglers on the field, the second session is over. Switch players in five seconds, switch time is one minute!"

The control referee's announcement sounded again, and Yue Feng got up from his seat, striding confidently onto the stage.

"Hand me the rod. You did well this session, take a break, Xiaomin's here!" Yue Feng patted Wang Zhen's shoulder, casually taking the rod from him.

"I made pits in front, but the fish aren't eating in the center; they prefer staying at the edges. The distant fish were caught this way!" Wang Zhen quietly shared his experience with Yue Feng.

"Got it!" Yue Feng nodded, calmly sitting on the fishing box.

On the other side, Leng Xiaojun also stepped up personally, replacing the second angler Chen Lei.

Leng Xiaojun, closely watching the competition from below the stage, looked slightly frustrated.

A good match had started with a huge setback, and the strategy he'd set for the second session hadn't fooled the opponents, leaving them at least five to six pounds behind. If they couldn't think of tactics, there'd be no chance at winning this match.

Just as Leng Xiaojun took the stage, brainstorming ways to catch up, a stroke of luck came his way.

The previously calm surface of the fishing field started to ripple.

The wind had picked up!

The wind stirring the water surface brought a significant increase in dissolved oxygen to the water, highly beneficial for improving the fish situation.

Especially at high-density fish times in the pond, where oxygen was lacking, whether in the Black Pit or the Competition Pond, a gust of wind could turn a no-bite situation into a bursting fish-take frenzy.

Having felt the coolness in the air while at a loss for a good method, Leng Xiaojun gritted his teeth and poured the wet loose powder from the food box into the basin.

To catch up in scores, the normal fishing methods were no longer viable. The only possibility was to take advantage of the wind-induced change in fish activity, attempting a more aggressive fishing strategy.

The wet loose powder had too high a water ratio, and the taste was relatively bland, following a bait opening strategy to avoid small fish and lure mid- to low-level fish.

But this time, Leng Xiaojun did something unexpected, lowering the water ratio for the loose powder, while also adding a large amount of Qianlixiang powder to the bait.

With Leng Xiaojun's adjustments, the new loose powder's water ratio was reduced to about 1:0.4, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance,

and through bait application techniques, he could control the powder to start fogging at the middle layer. It was now all up to the subsequent fish feedback to decide win or loss.

Throughout the process, Yue Feng remained exceptionally calm, watching Leng Xiaojun's adjustments closely, instantly grasping his intent behind the actions.

In that moment, Yue Feng envisioned many possibilities, sifting through his thoughts to choose the simplest, most direct plan.

You want to gamble on a fish activity shift, treating a dead horse like a living horse? Well, old man will accompany you!

With a ten-fish lead in hand, Yue Feng held absolute control,

choosing the same strategy — no longer focusing on technique, switching to see whose medicine was stronger, whose bait was more robust!
