41: Chapter 41 Peak Battle Experience Card (New Author, Please Collect) 41: Chapter 41 Peak Battle Experience Card (New Author, Please Collect) The regional hotspot had lasted for no more than half an hour when once again, it surged to the homepage’s trending list, propelling Yue Feng’s follower count to new heights.
Although the various onlookers weren’t Yue Feng’s target audience, their push had contributed to a significant increase in followers as a result of the popular meme.
Many of them turned out to be quite precise fishing fans; those who hadn’t seen the first meme stumbled upon Yue Feng’s trending content and were instantly amazed, converting countless passersby into fans.
In a spacious three-bedroom, two-living room house in Magic City, the doll-like girl had just returned home when she was immediately called out by her bestie who also doubled as her confidante.
“Doll, you need to hear this, you’ve gone viral again!”
“Su Cheng, explain to me what you mean by ‘gone viral again’?
I, the missy here, have always been fairly popular!” retorted the doll with a hint of arrogance toward her close friend.
Su Cheng rolled her eyes and said, “Just check out that brown-nosing meme for yourself.
You went and secretly flirted with a guy, giving him a confession outfit, and now they’ve turned it into a meme hanging on the homepage for all to gawk at!”
“What?” The doll’s pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly at these words.
She quickly picked up her latest-model fruit smartphone and logged into Seafood Live.
The new meme interrupting my flattery was still on the homepage, and the doll soon found it and clicked in.
The content of the meme was straightforward and didn’t wildly speculate or overly sensationalize things.
It simply recounted what had happened, ending with a thought-provoking question mark for the audience.
“I thought it was something big; this is nothing!
Let them talk if they want!
As long as I carry myself with integrity and sit upright, I have nothing to fear!”
“Fear isn’t the point.
I just want to know what’s the deal with that guy?
Little missy, did you take a fancy to him?” Su Cheng asked with a teasing smile.
The doll pouted, “Not at all.
I got up around noon, was bored scrolling through my phone, and happened to see someone using Cloud Piercing Arrows.
My hand was itchy so I clicked in hoping to snatch a red packet.
Once inside, I noticed the live stream’s clarity was incredibly high, and they were even using a drone for outdoor broadcasting.
I’m curious about equipment so I just wanted to get closer and ask, and casually sent a few gifts, that’s all.
I didn’t expect it to be overinterpreted!
Although that guy named Yue Feng is indeed quite handsome!”
Still making excuses; if you like someone, you like them.
To explain is to conceal, to conceal is to confirm!
I get it!” Su Cheng passed a knowing look that seemed particularly annoying.
The doll rolled her eyes hugely, “You don’t know squat!” But while she talked tough, her hands unconsciously fidgeted with the corner of her clothing.
After having dinner, Yue Feng accounted for the day’s revenue and once he had nothing else to do, he closed up and headed upstairs.
Unlocking Character Traits had rewarded him 2,000 Points, and together with the odd 1,000 he’d saved previously, Yue Feng now had a jackpot of 3,000 Points for the lottery.
Yue Feng browsed the shop and found that today’s merchandise refresh was lackluster.
The good stuff was too expensive, selling for tens of thousands of Points each.
The cheaper items Yue Feng already owned.
After a long search, he couldn’t find anything suitable.
“Damn, I was hoping to learn from those two Basic Skill Books from last time, and now they haven’t even refreshed!”
Everything in the shop was valued higher than 1,000.
In most situations, taking a chance on the lottery was more cost-effective than making a specific purchase.
The only downside was the uncertainty.
While Skill Books were useful, the need wasn’t urgent, so he might as well try his luck with another lottery draw.
With a thought, Yue Feng chose to enter the lottery.
Congratulations, you have obtained the Skill [Basic Bait Opening]
[Basic Bait Opening]: Bait Opening is a very important knowledge in fishing, especially crucial in Taiwan Fishing.
After mastering Basic Bait Opening, you can fully utilize the potential of your bait.
Effect: Real-world effectiveness of the bait is additionally increased by 5%, and the state of bait prepared will meet the designed standards!
The first Skill allowed Yue Feng to make a big profit.
He had wanted to buy the Basic Bait Opening Skill for a long time; it costs 2500 Points in the shop, but now he got it for just a thousand.
It seems today’s luck is not bad, continue to draw!
Congratulations, you’ve received “Extremely thin sleeve 4#”×100
“Extremely thin sleeve”: Made from a new type of special alloy material using advanced technology and high-tech processes, this new fish hook is extremely lightweight while maintaining high strength.
It doesn’t turn blunt or open while fishing.
Although Yue Feng doesn’t need these high-tech fish hooks for the time being, going by the description, they seem to be pretty good stuff.
Better to keep them safe.
Only one more chance to draw left, Yue Feng silently prays to Amitabha, The Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jesus, Amen in his heart.
Congratulations, you’ve received “Peak Battle Experience Card (Rare)”×1
“Peak Battle Experience Card”: A rare special privilege card.
Activating it enters peak battle state, where the system generates the most optimal battle plan according to current conditions, all live broadcast instruments and auxiliary effects are unlocked, lasting for 120 minutes.
A special card labeled rare?
Given the system’s nature, the rarer something is, the more amazing it should be, right?
But after examining the card for a long while, Yue Feng couldn’t figure out what he could actually use it for.
If it were for streaming other content, this battle card might be deemed a divine tool, but for Yue Feng, whose current live broadcast content is outdoor fishing, even if there is a PK battle, it’s often with other fishing broadcasters.
It’s not about the flashy effects that entertainers need; more than 80% of the live broadcast outcome is determined by the fish caught.
Without catches, no amount of special effects would matter.
Well, just keep it for now, never know when it might come in handy.
Drawing a rare card for a thousand points is a good deal any way you look at it.
After the draw, the first thing Yue Feng did was to learn the Basic Bait Opening from the Skill Book.
With a single thought, the Skill Book turned into countless streams of light that entered Yue Feng’s mind.
Parts of his memory that were previously unclear about the making of commercial bait now became crystal clear.
After learning the Skill, Yue Feng realized how rudimentary his previous understanding of Bait Opening was.
Just the Basic Bait Opening Skill alone included many details such as the ratio of water to add when preparing the bait, whether to add water before or after, the differences in the bait’s state of water absorption during different stages after preparation, and the impact of different bait-preparation techniques on the bait’s condition, and so on.
All in all, there were more than ten details that Yue Feng hadn’t known before but were worth delving deeper into.
Now that he had learned so many aspects of Bait Opening, Yue Feng couldn’t help feeling eager to try them out in practice.
Knowledge is just knowledge after all; only by actually doing it can one gain deeper insights.
So Yue Feng opened his Fishing Box and found his usual bait, and using his newly acquired knowledge, he prepared a batch of Lure that he normally used.
When he actually got to work, it truly felt effortless, almost as if he didn’t need to think about it at all, as if the skill was in his subconscious.
The prepared bait ball that came out of Yue Feng’s hands was discernibly different in its fine detail.
After preparing the bait, Yue Feng casually picked up a fishing line, and with a pull over the Lure plate, two plump and fuzzy bait balls were ready.
Their quality by far surpassed any Lure that Yue Feng had previously prepared.
He removed the bait balls with his hand and tried to prepare the Lure again; once more, he got two round, fuzzy bait balls, just as perfect as the first attempt.
Damn it, if anyone tells me again that commercial bait opening has no technique, I’ll slap him with a big mouth!
