58: Chapter 58: First Victory 58: Chapter 58: First Victory “Enough already, bro, stop filming me!
Everything has quieted down, what’s there left to film?” Wang Jian couldn’t help but blurt out to Yue Feng.
“Oh, haha, sorry about that!
I’ll switch the view back!” Yue Feng nodded and maneuvered the drone to return the view to its original position.
“He’s really doused the flames!
From the sound of it, he seems totally disheartened!”
“The host’s skills are seriously impressive!”
“Of course, it’s not like you’re looking at who my husband is!
My idol’s skills are top-notch!”
“What about the angler on the other side, is he getting any bites?
Seeing the group in the live room who thrived on chaos, Yue Feng scratched his head helplessly.
“Let’s just focus on our own fishing and stop the chaos, guys!
With so many bites happening, why focus on anything else?”
No wonder Yue Feng said that, as the activity at the bait spot had practically exploded due to the Double-hooked Scattering Bombs.
Once the bait was thrown in, the float had just flipped when it started indicating bites.
The float signaled bites crisply and decisively, and Yue Feng would strike immediately, without any hesitation.
If he delayed for even a moment, it was definitely a double bite at the tail end.
If Yue Feng’s rod had been a bit stiffer, carp double bites would actually be more efficient, but the Qing Hong rod he was using was just too light.
Managing one fish was fairly straightforward, but handling two was a bit more challenging.
Yue Feng was quite fond of his rod, so he grabbed at every bite and rarely waited to hook double at the tail.
Starting from the first fish caught ten minutes into fishing, Yue Feng’s spot continued to produce for over two hours, their bite activity gradually thinning out.
A thoroughly invigorating carp fishing session, the live room’s viewers had truly indulged their visual appetites.
As the bites slowed, Yue Feng switched his line setup to 0.8 main with 0.4 leader and a size five Sleeve Hook.
The bites looked pretty good, but it was long before he saw another, and looking over the entire fishing area, bites had essentially stopped.
As the host, he knew it was time to wrap up when things were good.
Seeing the day’s fishing wind down, he addressed the live stream.
“For a small fee of 200, managing to catch so many fish isn’t easy.
The bites have pretty much stopped, so I’m going to temporarily turn off the live stream now.
Those who haven’t followed, please do so.
I’ll mark tomorrow’s stream time and today’s final catch in today’s highlight reel!”
“Wait a minute!” Just then, an inconspicuous message popped up in Yue Feng’s live room, suddenly catching many people’s attention.
No wonder the viewers were excited, You Ying had come again!
“Damn, You Ying is back in the live room, host spare me!”
A flood of @You Ying completely blocked Yue Feng’s live room.
The situation in the public channel instantly caught Yue Feng’s attention, and he stopped moving towards ending the stream.
“Hello, You Ying is back!
Easy for you to say, we agreed you’d clarify and call me, why has it been several days with no word!”
You Ying’s typed message appeared on the public channel, and because it was prefixed with the host symbol, it was particularly conspicuous.
“Damn, who said it wasn’t a big deal, they’ve even called!”
“Does the guy above even have a brain?
You care about the weirdest things, is this really about making a phone call?”
“It’s confirmed now!”
“From You Ying’s tone, she sounds like a woman cooped up in seclusion!”
“Damn, the rumors were true after all.
Yue Feng, you beast, give me back my doll!”
“Draw your sword, let’s decide the winner and settle this once and for all!!!”
The bunch of animals in the live stream saw the doll and their IQs instantly went negative.
A perfectly good fishing live stream was being derailed again.
Scratching his head, Yue Feng sheepishly said, “Uh, sorry, my bad.
I got caught up preparing for the Black Pit and totally forgot about this!”
“Is that even something a person would say?”
“You can forget something involving the goddess but remember a trivial thing like fishing?
How can you even compare that with the goddess!”
Seeing Yue Feng admitting he forgot, You Ying, who was still in bed, pouted instantly.
Just when she thought she hadn’t received it, turns out he had forgotten!
“I’ll call you later, got to run now!” You Ying dropped a line and left the live stream.
Staring at this message, Yue Feng was dumbfounded on the spot.
Damn, what the hell is even going on!
“Host, you’re simply a beast, even bullying You Ying!”
You could even forget about the goddess!”
“Curious about what it really is, host, don’t rush off.
“Good point from upstairs.
Here’s a dollar, delete your comment so I can post it!”
“Spill the gossip, spill the gossip!”
Yue Feng scratched his head helplessly: “Gossip about what?
It’s just some cooperation stuff, you’re all thinking too much!
It’s getting late, so I’ll be ending the stream now!”
After a farewell greeting, Yue Feng turned off the live stream and went offline.
Seeing Yue Feng ending the live stream, a fishing buddy who was right beside him came over.
“Hey buddy, I’m Wang Meng.
What bait are you using?
The effect is fantastic!
I’ve hardly caught a few fish next to you.
I heard during your live stream that you run a fishing gear shop?”
Yue Feng sized up the guy next to him—a big round-faced fellow, easily 200 pounds, speaking with a smile and seeming pretty amiable.
I use the bait sold in my shop!
If you’re interested, come by the shop and try a set!”
Hearing the two talk, Wang Jian on the other side felt even worse.
Damn, in over two hours, Wang Jian had hardly stopped casting his line, but he could only ensure a very slow rate of catching fish.
But Yue Feng, on the other hand, was catching one after another non-stop; the disparity was simply too vast.
Now that Yue Feng had ended his live stream, the whole pit’s fish were biting slower, and Wang Jian felt today’s fishing had been terrible.
He immediately lifted his rod, deciding not to fish anymore!
As he was leaving, Yue Feng inadvertently rubbed salt into the wound: “Buddy, it’s not even ten o’clock, are you packing up already?”
“Yeah, got something to do, stopping fishing!” Wang Jian replied gloomily, packed up his gear, and lifted his Fish Guard out of the water.
There were hardly thirty fish in the Fish Guard, totaling maybe just over twenty pounds.
At the pit owner’s rate of four dollars per pound for returned fish, he could make about a hundred dollars.
The fishing spot by Yue Feng was already slow, and with the nearby disturbance of hauling up the Fish Guard, the few remaining fish had also made their escape.
After actively fishing for over two hours, Yue Feng calculated that he had definitely made his catch; he decided not to persist anymore and wiped down his rod, packing up!
“Boss, selling fish!” Yue Feng called out, and the pit owner who had just entered his house turned back.
“How was the fishing?” the pit owner greeted Yue Feng and reached to pick up the Fish Guard from the water, but couldn’t lift it.
“Damn, is it stuck at the bottom!
“Hehe, there are quite a few fish, let me give you a hand and we’ll try pulling it up together!” Yue Feng lent a hand, and together, they barely managed to haul the Fish Guard up.
