31: Chapter 31: A Straight Man Has No Fear of a Crooked Shadow 31: Chapter 31: A Straight Man Has No Fear of a Crooked Shadow If the other party is a beginner, it’s normal not to catch fish.
Good bait doesn’t make one invincible.
If you are fishing in waters or water layers without fish, even the Air Force would find it normal, Yue Feng thought to himself.
“I’ve been fishing for seven or eight years now.
My skills aren’t great, but I have basic judgment.
What are you selling me?
Rice Wine is made from crushed corn, and it tastes just like the cheap ones that cost two bucks a bag.
You sold me twenty-one bags, and I didn’t catch a single fish.
That’s just ruthless!”
Seeing this comment, the entire Fishing Livestream Room instantly fell silent.
There was a big scoop in the making!
Don’t look at the livestream having only sixty or seventy viewers, but if this issue isn’t handled well, then Yue Feng’s stream channel would be ruined.
“Rice Wine is made from coarse corn, I admit, but it’s just a carrier for attracting fish.
It doesn’t negatively impact the fishing results.
If you don’t believe me, you can see what I use myself.
It’s the same material and taste!”
As Yue Feng spoke, he took out his own prepared bait, showing under the camera that his indeed was made from crushed corn.
“Who knows about that?
Anyway, here’s the situation.
See what you can do?”
Yue Feng clicked on Sunset’s profile, wanting to check the user’s works or information, maybe recalling the face or name.
But upon clicking, Yue Feng’s brows furrowed.
The account named Sunset showed it was registered just today, and all the details were left unfilled.
Looking at this, there seemed to be an intention to set the pace.
“It’s alright if it’s not effective.
Let’s make a promise in the face of all the fellow viewers in the livestream, if the product is not satisfactory, I will refund you in full.
You send back the bait, and I’ll refund the money.
“The fish didn’t bite; I already threw it away.
Where would I send it back from?
It’s just that small amount after all.
You don’t know your own product?”
Seeing that I’d already promised a refund no matter what, and the other party still said this, Yue Feng instantly confirmed the other party was just here to harass him.
A bag of Rice Wine weighs about one pound.
That’s enough for heavy baiting this season.
Even if the Rice Wine is used up, it’s impossible that all the mixed bait is gone as well.
That’s just nonsense.
“No problem, let’s connect on the microphone and verify the issue in detail.
If it’s confirmed to be our product, even if you’ve thrown it away, I’ll still refund you!”
Having said that, Yue Feng immediately sent a request to connect on the microphone.
However, to Yue Feng’s dismay, the other party instantly declined.
I’d just started this, so I can’t guarantee 100% satisfaction, but we should address issues, not run away from them!”
“I’m not convenient!”
“Then buddy, when exactly did you spend money in my store?
I’ll try to remember if I have any impression!”
Since Sunset mentioned it wasn’t convenient to connect, Yue Feng had no choice but to continue asking for more details.
“Yesterday noon, about one or two o’clock!”
How could I be wrong about the time?”
Seeing this response, Yue Feng felt his temper flare up.
“Heh, that money, I can’t refund it!
Go find whoever you want.”
“How can you do this, not keeping any credibility?
It’s just a few tens of bucks.
Are you really abandoning all decency over such a small amount?” Upon hearing Yue Feng refused the refund, the other party instantly flipped.
“I was live streaming fishing by the river yesterday at noon.
My viewers can vouch for me.
When could have I sold you any bait?
Clearly you just registered a new account, coming here to stir up trouble in my stream, right?”
At that moment, Sunset had nothing to say.
Despite all his calculations, he hadn’t considered that Yue Feng’s store didn’t even operate in the afternoon, and he had so confidently stated otherwise.
Now, there was no way to backtrack.
“I remembered wrong, I bought it the day before yesterday at noon!”
“The day before yesterday?
For the last ten-plus days, my shop’s business hours have been from 5:30 AM to 10:30 AM.
If you want to tarnish my reputation, at least do your homework first, okay?”
After saying that, Yue Feng did not hesitate to manually block Sunset and kick him out of the livestream room.
The host’s logic is awesome!”
“Perfectly vindicated himself!”
“This smear tactic, it’s so lame!”
“What kind of people are these, can’t they see someone succeeding?
He’s just running a livestream catching some fish, how disgusting!”
Riverside Fisherman: “I am an actual customer from Yue Feng’s shop, I can personally vouch for Rice Wine and the bait’s effectiveness.
Many of our fellow fishermen are using it, so let’s not let these sneaky characters disturb us!”
Youth from Afar: “I’m also a local fisherman where the host lives, bought his bait once, and the practical effect was quite good!”
With local fishermen testifying, the truth about this incident surfaced very quickly.
Yue Feng nodded, “Thanks to both brothers for testifying!
Although ours is a Fishing Livestream Room, we might consider preparing some promotional products for the brothers in the future, but I have no plan to pursue profit from this.
Here, I make a solemn promise to everyone!
Anything you get from me, whether used or unused, if you feel dissatisfied, you can return or exchange it unconditionally!”
Despite the small troll’s attempts, Yue Feng’s image not only remained unscathed, but it also notably improved a lot.
“The Rice Wine and formula bait used by the host are very effective?
Is there a little yellow car?
Hanging for a wave, since we’re using bait anyway, let’s try something new!”
“Trying something new +1, I’ll take one too!”
Soon, a frenzy of requests to purchase began.
“Hehe, no little yellow car temporarily, so if you want to try the bait, we currently don’t have it for sale.
But no worries, to thank you brothers for your support, we can run a lottery!
This time I am giving away three sets of Rice Wine + bait.
If we reach 100 shares and 800 follows, we’ll start the draw!”
Yue Feng timely brought out the perfect follower-increasing tool and continued the giveaways—this time, three sets at once.
Fish in the Water shared the livestream room!
Cockroach888 shared the livestream room!
The Moon is Bright in My Hometown shared the livestream room!
A whole flood of notifications showing people sharing the livestream room appeared.
Soon, the number of viewers in Yue Feng’s livestream room started climbing drastically, growing even crazier than the day before.
In such a short span, it had already easily surpassed the 100 threshold!
There were quite a few viewers from the same region who knew each other in real life, and sharing and promoting did play a certain role.
Hearing that there were prizes, many viewers were quickly drawn into the livestream room.
Perhaps because the two were too close to each other and their livestream content was similar, as Yue Feng’s room began to gain viewers, Liu Mingyuan’s popularity started to slide.
From a stable 200+ it fell to just over 140, losing a third of its viewers.
