121: Chapter 121: Old Chen 121: Chapter 121: Old Chen The guys in the barracks had been itching to see Yue Feng bring a girl back, but they held back only because Yue Feng had made a point of reminding everyone during lunch.
Seeing Yue Feng walk over with the girl towards Liu Fengnian’s direction, several fellows followed suit.
“Not bad, Feng bro, you actually got the girl to come!
They say online beauties can’t stand the light of day, but her figure and looks don’t seem any worse than those online!
She’s pretty lively too,” Extra Beef Noodles whispered.
“And who’s that beauty next to the girl?
Is she also an internet celebrity?
She has a mature vibe about her.
Feng bro, can you snag her number for me?” Han Xuanzhuo’s taste was more discerning, and he had set his sights on Su Cheng.
Yue Feng helplessly curled his lips, “Stay calm, guys, she’s already taken, stop showing off!”
So heartless, beast!” Seeing Yue Feng wouldn’t budge, Han Xuanzhuo and Beef Noodles exchanged glances and jointly condemned Yue Feng.
“There’s a bonfire party tonight.
You can get to know her then if you want, too many eyes here in broad daylight, don’t make it hard for me, okay?
Just give your bros some face!
But a word of caution, be gentlemen, don’t go for that clingy nonsense!” Yue Feng said quietly.
“That’s more like it, at least you have some humanity in you!”
Han Xuanzhuo and Beef Noodles nodded, understanding, and finally looked at Yue Feng a bit more normally.
At that moment, Liu Fengnian approached from his fishing spot, “I’ve settled the guys who came after.
Aren’t you going to go over and say hi?”
Yue Feng nodded, “Yeah, I’ll head over in a bit.
Also, Brother Liu, could you please set up a long-distance rod for me?
A bit bigger reel, and a thicker line group, I’ll need it later!”
There are some ready-made ones over there, and a few more in the rod bag that we haven’t taken out.”
“Use the better reels.
I’m planning a bit of a show with the girl where the setup will account for a few dozen pounds of big fish!”
“Alright, I’ll get it ready, come and pick it up later!”
After dealing with the important matters, Yue Feng headed straight towards the last few brothers who had arrived.
Drowning Fish was the first viewer Yue Feng had met since starting his live stream, and a big brother who always supported Yue Feng’s broadcasts.
During several live streaming incidents, Drowning Fish had stepped up to help, so to Yue Feng, they had already formed a deep bond.
This time, Cockroach886 couldn’t make it due to real-life commitments, so his spot rolled over to Drowning Fish, who drove over a thousand kilometers to join them.
When Yue Feng returned with the girl, Drowning Fish had seen her but didn’t hurry over to say hello, choosing instead to sit calmly at his fishing spot, struggling with a big carp.
“Old Chen!” Yue Feng approached from behind Drowning Fish and greeted him.
Drowning Fish’s real name was Chen Zhennan, a young and successful entrepreneur in the timber business, who enjoyed fishing in his spare time.
Due to time constraints, he didn’t get out much and spent most of his time watching fishing live streams to curb his cravings.
It had been a long time since he’d known Yue Feng, and they also had private conversations over WeChat, making him one of the closer online friends among netizens.
You look even more spirited in person than online!” Old Chen stood up with a smile, shaking hands with Yue Feng earnestly.
“Got busy picking someone up from the airport, then there were all the greetings.
Sorry for any neglect, brother, don’t take it to heart, will ya?” Yue Feng said sincerely.
Old Chen grinned and replied, “What’s that matter?
I see you’ve put a lot of effort into this campsite.
The tents and the site are done up pretty nicely!”
“You started fishing?” Yue Feng continued to ask.
“Already caught more than ten.
These big carps, they’re really something!
Oh right, I heard from Liu that you’ve got some special bait for big fish.
Hand some over for me to try!
Around two o’clock, Qingfeng seemed to have encountered a big one, but it got away because it wasn’t hooked properly!”
“I’ve saved some for you!” Yue Feng took out the bottle of sheep dung pellets from his pocket, pinching out seven or eight with his fingers and placing them onto a food container.
That’s a strong scent!” Drowning Fish was no stranger to various baits, having even used expensive musk from Tongren Tang to brew alcohol for fishing, but he’d never used such pungent and foul-smelling bait before.
Planned to give a few pellets to each of the guys at noon, but everyone was put off by the smell, only Qingfeng took two.
This stuff is good—don’t throw it away if you can’t use it all.
Put it in an empty bottle and save it.
Who knows when you’ll find it again.”
“Last night, Liu and I tested it out.
Any fish we caught were big.
Pulled up a carp weighing over twenty pounds on the casting rod, but we didn’t manage to reel in the ones on the hand rods!”
“You’re a solid guy!” said Old Chen, treasuring the bait as he took out an empty bottle from his fishing box to store the sheep dung pellets, sealing the bottle with a plastic bag before screwing on the lid.
He then retrieved his line from a nearby casting rod and attached a pellet to it.
After saying goodbye to Old Chen, Yue Feng chatted with friends like Fairy from the North and Four Carats for a while, finally fulfilling the duty of a host.
While Yue Feng was busy entertaining friends from afar, Wang Jian’s live stream was really picking up!
Upon arriving at the reservoir in the morning and picking a spot to fish, the first task was to lay down the bait.
After a morning’s time, the bait had started showing results, and when the live stream began, he had already caught several young fishes weighing between two and five pounds.
With fish being caught, there were highlights to watch, so Wang Jian’s live stream consistently had more than three hundred viewers, with over two hundred even during lunchtime.
The afternoon was prime fishing time at the reservoir.
Wang Jian was using a long rod with a slip knot for big fish and a short rod for catching carp, thoroughly enjoying himself.
As he was casting and interacting with followers in the live chat, the long rod suddenly jerked forward, pulled into the water by a fish.
Got a fish on the long rod!” Wang Jian blurted out profanely.
He skillfully placed the hand rod he was holding behind him and reached out for the slip knot.
The hook on the big fish rod was baited with two kinds of fish bait—one with corn and the other with a snail—both targeting larger fish.
Usually, there was no action, but if a fish took the bait, it was almost certainly a big one.
The force from underwater was significant; the two hundred meters of slip knot line unraveled rapidly, shooting out tens of meters in a blink of an eye.
Wang Jian had plenty of fishing experience, smartly managing the slip knot by slightly sunning the line, adding a bit of resistance, and slowly sensing the power of the fish below.
After withstanding the first charge, the line was nearly fifty meters out.
Wang Jian patiently started to reel it in.
“I’ve got it this time!
This is no small fish!” Wang Jian couldn’t hide his excitement as he spoke to his live stream audience.
