127: Chapter 127 Mysterious guest leaked in advance 127: Chapter 127 Mysterious guest leaked in advance After agreeing on the rules for the fishing competition, both sides began their preparations, with Yu Qulong driving back to get his gear and Yue Feng starting to strategize his team’s setup.
Four competitors going for the heaviest catch, and although the rules seemed simple, there was still a technical aspect to it.
True, the reservoir was rife with big fish, but with only an hour and a half on the clock and no baiting of the fish in advance, they couldn’t all wait for the big catch.
At least two people needed to focus on catching carp to ensure a hefty total weight.
So it was decided that Yue Feng and Liu Fengnian would be responsible for using hand rods to catch carp, while Wawa and Qiangzi would handle casting rods to target the larger fish.
As for Wei Liang, he would be needed later to receive the evening’s ingredients from Boss Liu and to help with some of the preparation work for the evening’s event.
“Hey, didn’t you say you had a secret weapon?
Bring it out for your sister to try!
Today, I’m definitely catching a big one to show those guys across from us!” After delegating the tasks, Wawa pestered Yue Feng for the secret bait.
“I’ll give it to you later, it smells strong and awful, it’s too early to bait now!” Yue Feng calmed down, returning to his gentle demeanor.
You’re going to live-stream this, right?”
We definitely need to stream this kind of event, we’re going to win for sure!”
“Then your sister will make a little sacrifice and show her face!
Give me more screen time later, okay?”
Soon enough, Yu Qulong’s equipment was brought over, and amidst a flurry of activity, everything was set up.
To ensure fairness in the competition, Yue Feng had to disregard the fishing spots he previously created and instead carved out new ones to the north of the camp.
Yue Feng scanned the area briefly; apart from one spot that was a desolate grey, all others were okay.
Even if they were to end up with the grey spot, it wasn’t a problem, as they could still cast their lines; it wouldn’t affect them.
At four-thirty, after drawing lots, Yue Feng’s team was lucky not to draw the grey area.
Seeing his opponents arrange their team, Yue Feng smiled faintly, feeling even more assured of victory.
Wang Jian and his fellows were notably deficient in strategy today; not only had they drawn the fishless grey spot, but they had also assigned it to Yu Qinlong who was supposed to catch carp with a short rod.
As a result, they were down a major player even before the fight had begun, making a victory even less likely.
Of the eight newly created spots, to facilitate easy movement for fishing, each spot was spaced five meters apart.
If marked numerically from south to north, one through eight, Yue Feng’s team drew spots one, two, five, seven, while the opposition got three, four, six, and eight.
The positions were as follows: spot one for Wawa, spot two for Yue Feng, spot three for Wang Jian, spot four for Ken, spot five for Liu Fengnian, spot six for Yu Qulong, spot seven for Qiangzi, and spot eight for Xiaobo.
The opponents’ strategy was the same as Yue Feng’s: two short rods were handed to Wang Jian and Yu QULONG, who were quick and skilled at targeting carp, while Ken and Xiaobo were given casting rods to go after the larger fish.
Once the preparations were complete, they promptly commenced the competition.
In the meantime, Yue Feng launched his live stream, changing the title to “90-Minute Fishing Face-Off, Reservoir 4v4 Angling Engagement!”
The fans in the live stream had long been looking forward to the afternoon and evening event; unexpectedly, Yue Feng had initiated a 4v4 fishing showdown without a peep.
Numerous fans wondered how the teams were divided.
However, upon joining the live stream, everyone realized they had it wrong; their opponent wasn’t the fellow anglers who had made plans to come, but rather Wang Jian, the live-streaming angler who had recently been splurging money to top the leaderboards on various platforms.
The fans were well-informed; soon enough, those who had been in Wang Jian’s stream that morning began to trickle into Yue Feng’s chat.
Feng bro’s in a PK with Wang Jian?
Wang Jian was just saying this morning in his live stream that he doesn’t know you that well!”
“This vibe seems off, doesn’t it?
The atmosphere looks kinda strange!”
“What about the other brothers who agreed to fish?
Are they all just watching?
Scan around and show us how it’s looking, eh?”
“What about the mystery guest we talked about?
Don’t tell me they’re only showing up tonight?”
As Yue Feng started his stream, he didn’t stop working and swiftly prepared a few carp spots.
After he finished the task at hand, he finally appeared in the live broadcast room.
“Hello, everyone, this is Yue Feng’s fishing live stream.
We had an unexpected situation this afternoon, so we decided to hold a spontaneous fish-off, our agreed fishing prep team vs.
Wang Jian’s fishing team!
The competition has just started, and as a contestant, I might not always notice the public chat.
Just enjoy the show without stirring things up!
If you guys behave, there might be some perks later!”
“Oh, so it was a fish-off decided on the spot, huh?
Now this is going to be entertaining!”
After greeting everyone in the live stream, Yue Feng signaled to the kid to bring over the Explosive Hook Line Set on the casting rod.
Yue Feng personally attached a “sheep dung pellet” to the hook, after which the kid impressively cast it dozens of meters away.
“Ew~ No wonder you didn’t take it out earlier, it smells awful!” the kid muttered in a low voice, making a disgusted face.
Too busy complaining, she forgot the stream was on.
Less than a minute after starting, her voice was clearly picked up by the microphone!
I swear I just heard a girl’s voice, and it sounds familiar!”
“Bro, you’re not alone, I heard it too!”
“Feels like it’s the kid’s voice, don’t tell me Yue Feng really brought the kid to the scene?!”
“Damn it, now I’m panicking!
My goddess never meets up with other guys offline!”
“I have recording turned on and went back to listen, it’s definitely the kid’s voice!
My dream is shattered, my heart hurts so much!!!”
“It’s over, confirmed!!”
Yue Feng continued casting several hand rods with lure, planning to reveal the kid’s face later as a treat for the viewers in the live stream.
But now his cover was blown in under a minute.
We want to see the kid!”
The viewers in the live stream went from being harmonious and civilized to a fervently agitated mob.
Although Yue Feng had braced himself for this moment, when reality hit, it still hurt.
Since the cat was out of the bag, Yue Feng had no choice but to make a statement in the live stream.
“Alright, the kid was indeed invited to our fishing event!
Help me share the live stream, and once we hit 2,000 viewers, I will adjust the camera for you all.
Just to let you know, the kid is also a member of the fish-off team this time, fully geared up and ready for a face reveal!”
From his long experience, Yue Feng knew exactly what the viewers wanted: they said no with their words, but their actions told the truth.
Look, as soon as he dropped that bomb, shares for the live stream started soaring.
True to Yue Feng’s prediction, the brothers in the live stream were indignantly “condemning” Yue Feng the trickster while obediently sharing the stream.
As the live stream’s name had a provocative flair that promised good content, the share performance today was exceptionally good.
In no time, the number of viewers exceeded two thousand, and in the blink of an eye, it reached 2,300 and was still steadily growing.
