77: Chapter 77 Intermediate Authority 77: Chapter 77 Intermediate Authority “Starting to fish at the very beginning and trying to catch fish right away, to me, seems unwise.
These fish that are just starting to enter the nest are like seeds planted in the soil.
If you continue to let them stay at the nesting point, you can gather more fish.
Once you have a group gathered, it becomes easier to fish!”
“If, during the process of luring and congregating fish, you start catching the fish that enter the nest, it’s like losing the seeds, and as a result, fewer fish will gather at the nesting point.
Once there’s any disturbance and the fish are all caught without replenishment, the whole nest will be fished out!
Trying to gather a nest again after that will be extremely difficult!”
“The host is sharing some real tips!”
“My master also said that fish attract fish more effectively than bait attracts fish!
The host has a deep understanding!”
“It makes sense what you’re saying, but that angler next door had a nest and was gathering fish correctly too!
Why did he lose despite such confusion?
According to the host’s logic, doesn’t it mean that as long as you keep replenishing the nest and gathering fish without catching the fish at the nesting point, you can win steadily in a fish-catching competition?”
Surprisingly, there were some pretty sharp-minded fans in the live broadcast, who asked Yue Feng a very pointed question.
Actually, the fish in the nesting point aren’t unlimited.
No matter if you’re using hand-casting nests or scattering bombs to make nests, the total number of fish you can attract is fixed.
Normally, as long as the fish activity within the nesting point is high and the fish can maintain a certain density, you can start fishing while luring.
In this fish-catching competition, Yu Qulong did just that.
But this assumes that the effect of the bait used by both parties is nearly the same.
The Crucian Carp Scattering Bomb that Yue Feng was using was a high-end product from the system, and in terms of luring fish, it could outperform Yu Qulong by several streets.
The basic premise was absent, so him being out-fished was a natural outcome.
This fan in the live broadcast named ‘Bend the Bow and Shoot the Carp’ asked a really good question.
The scenario I mentioned earlier is based on the premise that bait performance is nearly identical and fishing spot conditions are basically the same!
Everyone saw our nests, and they were pretty similar before we started fishing.
Neither of us was in the Fast Fish Zone of the Black Pit, so there wasn’t much difference in fishing spot conditions.
The only difference was the bait!
Pride aside, the difference in bait is quite obvious.
The opponent’s lack of follow-up, at least in terms of bait, accounts for a big reason for their shortfall!”
“This little science lesson isn’t bad; I’ve learned something!”
“Host, you’re not going to reveal what bait you’re using?
Let us all have a chance to buy it, even if it costs money!”
“You can tell the one above is new here; the host doesn’t sell things during the live broadcast!”
Yue Feng grinned with a smile: “It’s not that I don’t want to sell.
Who doesn’t want to make money, after all, this is my livelihood!
But the timing isn’t right.
When it’s appropriate, I will put out a notice!”
“Just for the host’s straightforwardness, let me know when you start selling, and I’ll support you!”
“Count me in as well!”
A group of fishermen in the live broadcast began chattering, but Yue Feng felt a warmth in his heart.
Who says there are no good people online?
Most of the brothers in his own live broadcast are pretty reliable.
“Thank you everyone for your support.
That’s it for today’s live broadcast.
For those who missed the exciting details, I’ll upload the highlight clips of the fish-catching later.
Watching the clips is just as good.
After turning off the live broadcast, Yue Feng began to pack up his gear.
That’s about all the fish for today; sticking around until noon won’t yield many more.
It’s better to head back early for some rest, and I can sell some stuff too.
Seeing Yue Feng packing up his gear to sell the fish, Liu Fengnian and the others also packed up their rods.
Today, Big Brother Liu drew a powerful lot and caught over a hundred pounds of fish, but now the biting had pretty much stopped.
“Yue Feng, are you heading back to your shop, or somewhere else?” Liu Fengnian called out from several fishing spots away.
“Mmm, after selling the fish, I’m heading back!”
“Okay then, you go on ahead.
We’ll come over later and have a drink at noon!”
“Sure!” Yue Feng replied and, with the help of the pond owner, heaved the fish guard up.
Today’s real fast fish session lasted just over an hour, and with the fish caught from earlier nibbles, the total weight came to 173 pounds.
That was almost 700 yuan in fish sales, plus the thousand I won from pinching fish this morning, Yue Feng’s net income was at least 1500+ yuan.
After selling the fish, Yue Feng hopped on his motorbike, humming a tune as he headed back to his shop.
The challenge task activated by pinching fish today hadn’t automatically settled, and Yue Feng didn’t know what had happened.
He was eager to check it out when he got back.
Once back in the shop and having closed the door, Yue Feng concentrated, silently bringing the task to mind.
The challenge task [Invitation to pinch fish by a Professional Competitive Angler has been completed], the current Taiwan Fishing beginner challenge task record stands at 5/5.
You will no longer trigger challenge tasks from low-level provocations in this professional skill direction!
Would you like to settle?
Yue Feng scrutinized the system prompt carefully and finally understood where the issue lay.
The challenge voucher in his hand had already triggered five times before, and now these levels of provocations couldn’t trigger new challenge tasks anymore.
The system was providing a separate reminder!
Congratulations, you have earned 500g of Magic Corn.
Magic Corn: Corn is a commonly used natural bait in fishing and has a decent attraction effect on commonly found freshwater fish, known as the king of natural baits.
This corn incorporates a variety of fish-attracting substances in its preparation, exerting a strong enticing effect on large crucian carps, carps, and grass carp, with magical results.
Congratulations, you have earned 2000 Lottery Points!
As the host has consecutively completed five challenge tasks, your authority has been automatically upgraded!
System Mall beginner authority unlocked, and you have been awarded an extra [50% Off Voucher].
[50% Off Voucher]: A virtual item gifted by the system, which allows you to enjoy a 50% discount shopping in the mall for the next 24 hours after use!
The voucher is valid for 7 days.
Intermediate Authority unlocked, and you have gained a new professional characteristic [Streamer Life].
[Streamer Life]: While live streaming, all fan value and interactive actions can accumulate Vitality Value.
Each point of Vitality Value gained will earn you corresponding Lottery Points.
A series of system prompts rang out, leaving Yue Feng a bit dazed.
The beginner authority in the mall has been upgraded to intermediate?
Not only did he receive a Reward Card, but he also gained a new professional characteristic.
This Streamer Life trait seemed to have great potential, although the specifics of how it worked were unknown.
With the voucher valid for a week, Yue Feng wasn’t in a rush to use it.
Besides, his Total Points were just over 5000, and even with a discount voucher, he couldn’t buy anything of high value.
It was better to see what new items the upgraded System Mall had to offer.
With a thought, the new mall interface appeared in Yue Feng’s mind.
