30: Chapter 30 The Damaging Move 30: Chapter 30 The Damaging Move Ding!
Congratulations, your understanding of controlling the live broadcast room has improved by one point!
Another two hundred points awarded!
This indeed was an unexpected joy for Yue Feng.
On this side, many people are still discussing the knowledge about choosing fishing spots that Wen Dong just talked about.
Meanwhile, Yue Feng’s float bobbed sharply twice, signaling a striking bite.
Lifting the rod to strike the fish, he’s got a bite!
“Finally got a bite, brothers, we’ve got a fish on!
Those who just joined the live stream, give it a double tap and follow!” Yue Feng called out excitedly as he lifted his rod, relying on the strength of the rod’s waist to bring the fish out of the water.
With Yue Feng catching his first fish, the volume of his voice inadvertently rose, causing Liu Mingyuan, who was also live streaming not far away, to look up and frown slightly.
Liu Mingyuan had just figured out the routine of live streaming while selling goods, but he hadn’t expected Yue Feng to start live streaming as well, which could spell trouble.
You see, the Seafood Live platform has a certain logic mechanism for live stream recommendations.
Smaller streamers, without any trendy catchphrases that go viral, are limited to regional exposure at best.
Their fanbase also tends to be regional.
This means that if Yue Feng’s live-streaming of fishing overshadows Liu Mingyuan, there will be a significant impact on the fanbase, leading to a split in viewership, making Liu Mingyuan’s comfortable routine of live-streaming and selling goods a lot harder.
Liu Mingyuan’s mind was filled with these issues, and as he watched the float in the water, he inadvertently lost his focus.
On the other hand, Yue Feng, having started to catch fish regularly as if sounding a charge to attack, quickly went from slow bounces to rapid bounces, and then into a streak of continuous catches.
During his last live stream, once Yue Feng began catching fish steadily, his interaction with the viewers in the live room noticeably decreased.
At the time, Yue Feng didn’t think it was a problem, but looking back, it was clear that today’s lackluster performance in popularity and the room’s low energy had a direct correlation with the reduced interaction with Wen Dong.
Why would anyone be willing to wait for you if it’s just a one-time thing?
With that time, wouldn’t it be nicer for them to hop to another channel where someone is on a catching streak?
Thinking of this, Yue Feng began to contemplate new topics of conversation.
Fishermen actually have no shortage of topics to discuss, but to guide the conversation intelligently is another matter entirely.
After a brief moment of thought, Yue Feng came up with several interesting topics.
“Now that we’re catching fish steadily, brothers, don’t just sit there idle.
While we’re watching the floats, let’s chat a bit—I’ll start.
How long have you all been fishing?
What’s the biggest fish you’ve ever caught?”
“Fishing for five and a half years, biggest catch two and a half pounds!”
“The guy above is even better than me.
Apart from half a pound crucian carp, I haven’t caught any decent fish!”
“Fishing for twelve years, wife left me because of it, child went with the mother, now living alone, working 12 hours and resting 24 hours, going fishing at least 260 days a year, biggest catch a three and a half pound carp, never caught a big one!”
“The guy above is even stronger than me.
I got into a fight with my wife because of fishing, and I haven’t gone home for a day and a night.
Now I’m by the lake, just freshened up the fishing spot, ready to fish all night again!”
Yue Feng’s topic choice wasn’t problematic initially, but it was taken off on a tangent by a fellow fisherman, and soon the fishing live stream turned into a grievance airing session.
Stories of family conflicts caused by fishing, warnings and fines from work, and buying equipment only to end up with no money for food at the end of the month stirred emotions in the live room.
Seeing the topic veering off course, Yue Feng quickly steered it back: “Fishing is a great hobby, but we need to balance leisure with work, and it shouldn’t disrupt our main jobs or normal family life!”
“My idolized teacher once shared a classic example.
When he wanted to go fishing, he took care of all the chores inside and outside the home in advance, and then when he asked his wife for permission to go fishing, naturally she allowed it!”
“I saw that story in a video, that teacher is so funny!”
“I most envy those couples who both enjoy fishing—truly a match made in heaven!”
My wife is right beside me now.
I set up our nest, I carry the fishing box, if I don’t catch fish, it’s my fault.
If there’s a bite, she yanks me away!
I regret teaching my wife how to fish!”
Finally, the tide of public opinion turned again.
Just then, the fisherman by the river spoke up again.
“Bro, what kind of float are you using?
How come the strikes are so exaggerated!”
The fisherman by the river was none other than Liu Fengnian.
It was his first time in the live stream, so he soon became fascinated by the beautiful strikes of the float and couldn’t help but ask.
“Heh, Brother Liu, this float was a gift from a friend, not for sale!”
“If it’s not for sale, never mind, but do they have a retail version?
I didn’t pay much attention when I last visited the shop!”
In the past, Yue Feng might have been embarrassed for not having high-quality floats, but now it was different; he had floats from a lottery that hadn’t even been sold in the shop yet.
“Actually, the shop does have some, they’re made of reed, and they’re also crucian carp floats shaped like date pits, which are suitable for fishing crucian carp this season!”
“Alright, I’ll stop by later to take a look, and if it’s suitable, I’ll get one to use!”
Yue Feng had simply answered a question about the float, but to Liu Mingyuan, it sounded extremely jarring.
True to his worries, just when he started learning about live streaming, they began selling products, and the progress was a bit too fast.
Before you know it, they’ll be left high and dry on the beach!
No, he can’t show weakness , he needed a plan!
With a quick turn of the eyes, Liu Mingyuan thought of a cunning scheme.
Liu typed out a long text message with his head down and sent it to his wife through WeChat.
A few minutes later, a new account named Sunset entered Yue Feng’s live stream.
“Yue Feng, where are you live streaming from?
The Rice Wine and bait formula I bought from your shop yesterday aren’t attracting any fish!”
Everyone was casually chatting and teasing, and suddenly such a message popped up, not only addressing Yue Feng by name but also tarnishing his products.
The Smart Housekeeper could block and instantly delete negative comments from trolls, but it couldn’t deal with fact-based situations .
“Host, someone is here to sabotage your show!”
The chatty audience was slightly startled and then started tagging Yue Feng.
Yue Feng promptly spotted the message from the new account, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“This brother called Sunset, you bought my bait?
Where are you fishing?
Also, are you a beginner or do you have some experience?
Maybe you didn’t get the trolling or location right.
The feedback for the bait sold in my shop has been very good, and everyone can see the results from the live stream!”
Initially, Yue Feng’s first impression was not that the other person was causing trouble, but rather that he might be a beginner.
