Chapter 980: Stealing the Win



Based on the count from the audience, Xue Kai's side is about five or six fish fewer than Han Luofeng's, but he managed to create about five more double-hook wet loose nests.

In Yue Feng's eyes, such a deal is absolutely worth it. If the Hua Clan team didn't notice the bait points being different when casting rods, it could even be considered pure profit!

"Wang Zhen, did you see where Xue Kai just prepared the nest? When you get up to the second round, follow this approach! Keep an eye out for opportunities to add to the nest, but make sure to concentrate, don't scatter too much!"

Wang Zhen nodded: "Got it, it's still the stealthy nest-building method used in the previous match, right? Should I keep up with the opponent's frequency and rhythm?"

"You don't necessarily need to follow the fishing pace next door. The fish are biting quickly, lots of fresh-mouth fish, grab as many as you can! After you've snatched up the fresh-mouth fish, leave the rest to us!"

"Alright, I'll make sure to complete the task!" Wang Zhen nodded and stood up from his seat, eager to get started.

As soon as the referee announced a change, Wang Zhen stepped onto the stage, took the rod from his teammate, and began a frantic, extreme frequency outburst!

The angler next door from the Hua Clan was dumbfounded by Wang Zhen's hyperactive, floating-fishing-like frequency. Was he going all out already? It's not yet time for desperate measures!

Xue Kai didn't rush to step down after his turn; instead, he deliberately waited for Han Luofeng.

"Captain Han, your skills are solid, you must have out-fished me by at least six or seven!" Xue Kai said, with a sly glint in his eyes.

Han Luofeng smirked: "You're just trying to rub it in! For your captain, that's just a few double tails' worth!

Now I'm regretting it, should've been quiet and not let this conversation run wild, twisted myself into a knot!"

"Haha, you're being modest! By the way, what's your take on the fish situation? Share with us, would you?" Xue Kai continued to ask, showing no awareness that he was facing his current opponent.

"The fresh-mouth fish are looking for food quickly, short duration and fast pace, floating fishing is tough, but the fish are at quite high levels, maybe fifty to sixty centimeters off the bottom! Just don't know how long they'll bite! When the fish were released, I sensed the proportion of golden fresh-mouth fish wasn't very high, just afraid they'll suddenly stop biting!"

Confronted with Xue Kai's questions, Han Luofeng didn't hold back, sharing his findings like friends exchanging thoughts.

"Thanks for the lesson, our captain will treat you to a meal!"

Xue Kai grinned after hearing this.

Xue Kai asking about the fish situation was a ruse. He really wanted to know if Han Luofeng noticed him secretly fostering a second nest, but based on Han Luofeng's response, Captain Han focused all his attention on extreme performance, never mentioning this aspect. It seems, the sneak tactic was successful.

"Alright, I'm already used to eating your team's food now!"

"Haha!"

In the second round of the match, the fish situation had reached its peak; Wang Zhen's forced acceleration in the first dozen casts made the already fast fish action even quicker.

The chance for double tail at the original fishing spot was increasing.

It was then that the techniques Yue Feng taught to students about grabbing double tails for efficiency came into play, and Wang Zhen consciously tried out a few double tail catches. Surprisingly, they went smoothly, with five consecutive double tails caught, directly evening out the gap left in the first round.

"Nice, those double tails were caught beautifully!" Zhao Zheng couldn't help yelling, like watching the World Cup and his team scored a goal.

At that moment, Wang Zhen's double tail strategy succeeded again, but upon seeing the fish on the hook, Yue Feng frowned slightly.

"Something's not right! Seems like the fresh-mouth fish have been mostly snatched!" Yue Feng said ambiguously.

"Huh? Can't be, the float is still high, how can you say it's fished out?" Wang Xiaomin shook his head, somewhat disagreeing with Yue Feng's judgment.

Yue Feng didn't explain but kept watching patiently.

Wang Zhen caught a silver crucian carp on the third rod, and Yue Feng was basically convinced.

"See the fish Wang Zhen caught? Initially, they were all golden yellow, now silver crucian carp are mixed in!

The fish might still be at high levels scrabbling for food, but if the density keeps squeezing down past a critical point, they'll start choosing lines cautiously!"

As if verifying Yue Feng's remark, after several more double tails were caught, the previously intense fish situation seemed to hit pause.

The float, never reaching bottom before, now unexpectedly touched down for the first time.

Faced with this sudden change, Wang Zhen panicked a bit and instinctively turned to look at the Hua Clan team's nest.

Next door fish are still biting, seemingly quicker than his side!

At that moment, Wang Zhen realized.

Damn, got too excited with double tails, emptied the fresh-mouth fish from the nest!

Good thing he reacted swiftly and didn't continue to fish, Wang Zhen squeezed loose powder onto the dual hooks, replenishing two casts forward in both the main nest and the sneaky little nest, sped up frequency and kept fishing, trying to lure the fish back.

But not long after, the fish situation next door slowed down too, and what's more, even the opposite side's fish slowed down.

Yue Feng frowned while watching and said calmly: "Still lack experience, fresh-mouth fish mostly snatched out! Time to change to finer set!"

"Yeah, earlier there were clear small bites that didn't eat through! Wang Zhen's still naively casting back and forth!" Wang Xiaomin couldn't help but comment.

Wang Zhen didn't change the trace line, but the Hua Clan's angler did, and luckily saw the moment the scissors cut the line. Wang Zhen instantly caught on. The previous action didn't eat through, so he followed suit and swapped the trace line for 0.4.

After changing the line, the float's bite was significantly stronger, caught several single tails in a row, but then the fish biting slowed again.

Now, the advantage of the sneakily fostered nest started to shine.

Wang Zhen casually replenished two casts of wet loose powder in the main nest, then normally lured and cast toward the farthest second nest.

Leaving a nest alone for a bit to allow surrounding fish to regroup is a common technique, especially effective with cautious, timid fish.

The second nest has been nurtured continuously since the start of the first round. On the first cast, the float's bite was noticeably stronger. A crisp series of bites ended up with another double tail.

Seeing the dual-hook lined with one white, one golden crucian carp, Wang Zhen had an epiphany, damn, fished out the fresh-mouth fish!

The next second, he swapped the lure used for snatching fish to more suitable bait for slippery fish, adjusted the water rate of loose powder again, increasing it.

After a series of adaptations, Wang Zhen finally stabilized the nest's fish situation.
