47: Chapter 47 Treating a Dead Horse as if It Were Alive 47: Chapter 47 Treating a Dead Horse as if It Were Alive Having more people around did have its advantages; in the blink of an eye, shares in the livestream room began to surge, and Yue Feng got to enjoy the treatment that only top internet celebrities received.
He had thought it would take quite a while for the number of people in the livestream room to reach three hundred, but in less than two minutes, Yue Feng’s request was forcefully fulfilled!
“The number has been reached, should the host answer our questions now?
I’ll go first, are you Baby Doll’s boyfriend?”
Yue Feng wasn’t planning on being evasive.
He simply shook his head after seeing that public channel comment: “Nope, I’ve only known Baby Doll for a short while!”
“Was the music video from yesterday pre-recorded?”
“I can’t answer that question for now, it’s a secret!” Yue Feng said, sticking to the standard response.
Then at least you can talk about the meteor shower, right?
When will we watch the stars again?
That’s way more interesting than playing in the water!”
Seeing the onlookers describe Yue Feng’s fishing activity as playing in the water, Yue Feng helplessly shook his head.
What’s that got to do with anything?
“Meteor showers and such are out of the question for now, we need to wait for the right opportunity, and as for the specifics, that’s a secret too, can’t disclose them!”
“Gosh, big bro, you’re no fun at all, so tight-lipped, can’t get any useful news out of you!
“Didn’t you notice the big brother is quite handsome and speaks so gently?
If you’re leaving, do it quick.
Big brother, I have a question, can I add your private WeChat?
I’m super easy to flirt with, can be sweet or cool, and my avatar is my real picture!”
“Ah, I’m super easy to flirt with too, private chat with my WeChat is sent, add me!”
Yue Feng saw the situation and thought, where the heck did this troop of demons spring from?
He quickly interjected.
This is a wholesome outdoor Fishing Livestream Room; it’s broad daylight, please be mindful of the impact!”
But Yue Feng’s words were to no avail; with nearly 350 viewers in the livestream, there were quite a few chirpy girls, and the fisher fans who were there for the fishing content became less vocal.
However, this situation didn’t last long, as Yue Feng began to catch fish, finally breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Focused, Yue Feng took his time with each cast, hooking fish after fish, but the fellow fishermen in the livestream were over the moon with excitement.
Yue Feng was too embarrassed to flirt with the group of girls due to the nature of the livestream, but the viewers in the channel had no such scruples; soon enough, various jokes were flying back and forth, and the whole livestream room became joyful and harmonious.
For a fisherman, just having a beautiful bite was happiness enough, but now there were also many cute girls to flirt with.
Regardless of whether they could actually hook them, this treatment was exceedingly comfortable.
The activity in the livestream room was lively, which saved Yue Feng a lot of energy in moderating.
Every so often, he checked the public channel, jokingly picking semi-sensitive questions to answer.
The fishing spot he had chosen was excellent; it wasn’t long before the crucian carp in the nest started biting one after another.
Over in the western channel, the size of the crucian carp was generally on the larger side, with even the smallest weighing over 100 grams, mostly averaging over 250 grams.
Catch after catch, Yue Feng called it thrilling.
Yue Feng was having the time of his life, but the few guys fishing some dozens of meters away couldn’t stay calm any longer.
“Damn, that guy’s only been here for a short while and now he’s hooking one after another!
Wang Jian, is there something wrong with your bait?” One of the young men, looking to be in his twenties with delicate features, loudly asked the Wang Jian beside him.
Wang Jian saw that Yue Feng also had a fish on the line and felt a bit upset.
Hearing his companion’s question, he frowned, “Little Ma, what you’re saying is not very clever.
How come you didn’t complain about the bait during our streak of catches the other day?
Are you full and now blaming the chef?”
Next to Little Ma, a burly fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes chimed in, “You guys wait here, I’ll go over and take a look!”
“Sure, Lei Lei, you go have a look!” Wang Jian nodded in agreement.
Lei Lei, whose full name is Lei Lei, was tall and burly, about the same height as Yue Feng, but much thicker.
One could tell at a glance that he had the physique of a tough northern guy.
He was often outdoors, his skin tanned to a light wheat color.
The Jeep Wrangler parked on the shore was his.
Lei Lei hopped off the fishing platform and strolled over toward Yue Feng.
From twenty meters away, Lei Lei saw a drone hovering slightly higher than the level of Yue Feng’s forehead.
The intention to shout out a loud greeting immediately subsided.
As he got closer, he found Yue Feng in the middle of a live stream, chatting away happily with the viewers in the Fishing Livestream Room.
Lei Lei tiptoed to Yue Feng’s side after figuring out the situation and gently patted his shoulder.
“Bro, I have some questions to ask you!”
Yue Feng felt someone behind him and turned his head.
After recognizing the face, he turned off the live stream’s microphone.
“What bait and ‘bait recipe’ are you using over here?
You haven’t been here long but already started catching fish.
We’ve been here all morning and haven’t caught many decent ones!”
As Lei Lei asked, he pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Yue Feng.
Yue Feng didn’t have a high opinion of them, but their approaching him and offering a cigarette did leave a positive impression.
By the way, I own a fishing tackle shop in Fang’an District town, Yue Feng Fishing Tackle!” Yue Feng took the opportunity to promote his business and pocketed fifty points.
When Lei Lei heard that Yue Feng owned a fishing tackle shop, his spirits lifted.
“Do you carry extra bait and ‘bait recipe’?
Can you sell me some?”
“That’s no problem, but my stuff is a bit pricey, I’m not sure if you can afford it!
Rice Wine is $20 per pound, and the crucian carp formula bait is $25!
“How’s that expensive?
We’ve been using ‘Hand Food’ that’s even pricier than that and still can’t catch anything.
Give me the same, I want to give it a try!”
Yue Feng took a set of Bait Hand Food out of his Fishing Box and handed it to Lei Lei.
Lei Lei was very straightforward, leaving a good impression on Yue Feng.
Besides, now that he had bought Yue Feng’s bait, he was considered his customer.
Yue Feng decided to offer a few simple tips.
“You’ve probably laid several bait spots where you guys are fishing now, right?
Using my ‘Hand Food’, don’t fish at the old spots anymore, it affects the results.
Look, you see that large rock on the shore not far from here?
Move there and give it a try!” Yue Feng, being generous, pointed out a new fishing spot to Lei Lei.
There were plenty of fishing spots to choose from along the riverbank.
It was a mystery why the three of them had chosen an area that was all grey, blending in together, devoid of fish.
Lei Lei came to seek advice as a last resort, without giving it much thought.
But now, having bought the bait and gotten a new fishing spot location from Yue Feng, he decided to give it a try.
