116: Chapter 116: The Gold-Spending Anchor 116: Chapter 116: The Gold-Spending Anchor “In the reservoir, there are no restrictions on fishing methods in principle.
You can use a hand rod or a sea rod with a reel!
But don’t use those violent anchor-fishing methods!
I don’t mind here, but the reservoir owner might not be happy!” Yue Feng simply replied.
“What you said about anchor fishing, is that even fishing?
It’s like using a gill net or shocking fish with electricity, no skill involved at all!” Qingfeng Zilai casually said.
“We are all rule-abiding anglers, we don’t engage in such tricks!”
“Feng, you changed the subject just now.
You haven’t talked about the corn yet!” Han Xuanzhuo couldn’t help but remind him.
Yue Feng grinned and said, “Corn can be used.
There’s still half a bottle in my fishing box, but I just prepared something else.
Last night I experimented with it together with Brother Liu and others, and the effect was terrifying!
Does anyone want to try it?”
“A new product again?
Show it to the brothers!” As soon as everyone heard that Yue Feng had a new secret weapon, they stopped eating immediately, wishing he would take it out right there for everyone to study.
If the “sheep dung pellets” had looked appealing, Yue Feng might have taken them out at the dining table for everyone to see, but these things looked somewhat unattractive.
Holding them, one would lose the appetite for the midday meal.
“I have very limited quantity of this stuff.
After we finish eating, I’ll give everyone a few pellets to try!
This thing smells a bit strong, afraid it might put everyone off their food!
Let’s eat first, we will handle it later!” Yue Feng explained.
Hurry up, after eating let’s see if the big fish are biting!”
Fine food was merely an accessory, the heart of a fisherman lies in fishing.
Hearing Yue Feng say they would distribute the bait after eating, all the men sped up their eating instantly to a higher level.
A few symbolic toasts with two or three bottles of beer marked the end of the drinking ceremony.
They set aside their inhibitions and ate up most of the main dishes for lunch.
After lunch, Yue Feng took out the hard-to-come-by Big Fish Must Kill from his fishing box.
Perhaps it was a bit warm inside the fishing box; the original slightly foul smell became even worse once Yue Feng took it out, making even himself frown.
It originally looked like sheep dung pellets, but now, why does it smell like a hard-to-describe mix of medicinal herbs and foul odor?
“Is this the secret weapon you mentioned?” Han Xuanzhuo asked frowningly.
Beef Noodles also grimaced.
“Ew, that smells awful!”
“It might be because of the high temperature in the fishing box, the smell has gotten stronger!
Who wants to try it?”
Everyone was enthusiastic during the meal, but after seeing the real thing, everyone started having second thoughts, exchanging glances, thinking it might be Yue Feng’s prank.
Only Qingfeng Zilai, who was older, bravely took a couple of pellets to try fishing.
The others opted for the Magic Corn that Yue Feng had used before.
“If you use these sheep dung pellets, remember to set up a big fish line group and Big Fish Rod!
Last night, I lost several big ones because the line was too short.
I only caught a carp of around twenty pounds with a long cast rod!” Yue Feng specially reminded them.
I’ll switch it later!
What angler is too precious?
I have even tried mixing my son’s toddler pee in medicinal wine for fishing.
If these young folks can’t stand this small smell!” Qingfeng Zilai was rather composed.
After distributing the bait, everyone went to their respective fishing spots and got ready.
They had been eager to play here for a long time, now their wishes were fulfilled.
The scorching sun didn’t bother them at all; they set up their fishing umbrellas, put on their sunscreen clothing, and continued their battle.
Logically speaking, as the host Yue Feng should have stayed at the fishing event he initiated, but after eating lunch, he simply lay on a hammock in the woods for a while before leaving the reservoir.
Before boarding the plane, Baby called Yue Feng.
It only took an hour to fly in from Magic City, and Yue Feng was going to pick her up personally.
Yue Feng got into the BMW 7 Series arranged by Qiangzi and rushed toward the small airport in W City.
Flowers bloom on separate stems.
While Yue Feng’s fishing event was proceeding smoothly, Wang Jian and Yu Qulong’s group of four settled down at the reservoir.
Inspired by Yue Feng’s livestreaming, Wang Jian also started livestreaming, but his approach was quite different from Yue Feng’s.
From the moment he chose to start livestreaming, Wang Jian was always looking for shortcuts.
Some might ask, what shortcuts?
Simple, throwing money!
To be more precise, it’s about strategically spending money to attract precise fishing fans!
Through the connections of his senior Yu Qulong and his master, Wang Jian met several fishing livestreamers who had started earlier, all of whom had hundreds of thousands of fans and usually boasted an audience of a thousand or even more during their broadcasts.
What Wang Jian did was also simple: he secretly made arrangements, and during others’ livestreams, he’d top the gift charts in a second.
It was a mutually beneficial deal where both parties got what they wanted, making the hosts promote their sponsors enthusiastically.
Moreover, every time Wang Jian went live, he would give away various items from store inventory.
His fishing skills weren’t too shabby either.
In less than a month, his fan base grew to over ten thousand, and each livestream attracted hundreds of viewers.
This time coming to Cliff Dam Reservoir was not only about fulfilling his own desire to catch big fish but also about using the broadcast to find scenes that would attract more fans, which was central to Wang Jian’s purpose.
Precise fishing fans are indeed very valuable; with just over ten thousand fans, Wang Jian had already spent almost twenty thousand.
Apart from the normal growth of fans, more than half came from topping the gift charts in others’ livestreams.
If it came down to costs, he was spending several dollars per fan on average.
A few days ago, Yue Feng had confirmed how hot the livestream could get with the fish biting well, and now that he had settled into the area and started broadcasting, the atmosphere in Wang Jian’s livestream room was also great.
Wild crucian carp weighing over a kilogram were biting frequently, making the viewers crave more and more.
“Welcome to the new friends who just came in from the trending page!
This is the Outdoor Fishing Livestream Room, I am Wang Jian, the Fisherman!
Today we are at a local reservoir that hasn’t been open for over a decade to fish; it’s a non-stop crucian explosion.
If you like what you see, hit that follow button for the host!”
After some time, Wang Jian had gotten the hang of starting his streams smoothly.
“This environment is nice.
Can you tell me the name of the reservoir?”
“Just tuned in, the last crucian carp was great, no kidding about the size!”
“Is there any fishing gear being given away today?
I received the little medicinal wine I won from the day before yesterday, it looks alright, not sure how it’ll perform in real fishing though!”
Wang Jian glanced at the public chat in his livestream room and said, “Gifts are given away every broadcast, please join and follow!
This is Cliff Dam Reservoir, currently not open to the public!
We’re here as a private event, exclusive!”
