78: Chapter 78 Liu Fengnian’s Warehouse Fishing Invitation 78: Chapter 78 Liu Fengnian’s Warehouse Fishing Invitation After unlocking Intermediate Authority, the number of products available in the marketplace increased significantly, and they were appropriately categorized—I glanced over them briefly.
All kinds of tangible equipment such as fishing rod, floats, and line sets for Taiwan Fishing were basically fully covered, with prices ranging from 5,000 Points to several hundred thousand Points.
Virtual Skill Books, with both Basic Skill Books and Intermediate Skill Books appearing in the marketplace list.
Basic skills were quite cheap, with most costing two to three thousand Points per book, whereas Intermediate Skill Books were much more expensive, starting from tens of thousands of Points—Yue Feng gasped in dismay, “I can’t afford these.”
What interested Yue Feng the most were the card and recipe categories of virtual items; they were incredibly varied and far exceeded expectations in number.
Good Person Cards, Task Scrolls, a variety of quirky one-time props, all with hefty price tags and different effects.
Beyond the diverse effects of the cards, the sight of various bait recipes made Yue Feng’s heart race with excitement.
But upon seeing the numbers behind the recipes, Yue Feng calmed down again.
Gold Edition Wild Fishing Companion recipe: 100k Points.
Improved Black Pit Crucian Carp recipe: 15k Points.
Gold Edition Wild Fishing Crucian Carp Bait recipe: 25k Points.
Wild Fishing Carp Nesting Formula: 20k Points.
After considering over a dozen recipes available for selection, even the basic entry-level recipes cost at least 15k Points.
Yue Feng, who had been saving for a long time and had completed two challenge tasks, barely had just over 5,000 Points in his pocket.
Considering his current rate of earning Points, it would take a very long time to afford all these recipes!
After looking for a long time, Yue Feng reluctantly closed the marketplace.
Damn it, one day I’ll buy all of these!
Yue Feng swore to himself determinedly.
It hadn’t been long since Yue Feng came to his senses when the sound of a car’s engine roared outside the shop—Liu Fengnian and the others had arrived.
“Look at you, I didn’t see it coming, but you actually managed to put out Yu Qulong’s fire!” As soon as he entered the door, Liu Fengnian joked with a chuckle.
I may seem calm on the surface, but I was actually quite nervous!” Yue Feng scratched his head, saying somewhat embarrassedly.
“You seem pretty confident, though!”
“That’s because I was riled up by provocation, got a bit carried away.
Now that I think about it, I’m still a bit scared.”
“No matter how it happened, you’ve earned both face and profit!
This is something worth celebrating!
Lunch is on me, let’s go have a few drinks!” Liu Fengnian looked extremely happy.
“Okay!” Yue Feng didn’t decline and agreed generously.
“Actually, we have another reason for coming, aside from drinking at lunch, but I didn’t mention it this morning because there were too many people around!”
“Cliff Dam reservoir is preparing to open, and Qiangzi has a contact who could pull some strings for us.
We could go a few days early to play around, how about it, interested?”
Yue Feng was familiar with the name Cliff Dam; located in Lechang City, a municipal city under the jurisdiction of W City, it was about fifty kilometers away from Yue Feng’s current location.
The bighead Carps in their reservoir were a famous freshwater delicacy in the area.
The reservoir’s scope was not small, spanning several hundred acres.
It had been closed to the public for many years, only able to fish a part of them every autumn and winter seasons.
Can we really go?” Yue Feng’s spirits instantly lifted!
Ma Boqiang nodded, “One of the owners of this reservoir is a relative of my dad’s friend.
I only learned about it when we were dining together the other day and I asked about it.
The answer was straightforward—we can go play!”
I want to prepare in advance!” Yue Feng asked eagerly.
Ever since he started live streaming fishing about a month ago, even though the streams were doing quite well, Yue Feng had begun to feel that the content of his streams was too monotonous.
Wild fishing was too dependent on fish behavior, and long periods of fishing in the Black Pit had been met with resistance by many anglers.
Now was the time when he was eager to enrich his live stream content.
“In principle, any day is fine, but Liu Fengnian and Wang Dong both have some matters to arrange at their factories, so we’re tentatively scheduling it for the day after tomorrow, Monday!
We’ll depart at four in the morning, stay overnight, and return Tuesday afternoon!” Qiangzi said.
What about food and accommodation, anything I need to prepare?
I’ll get to it tomorrow!”
“Don’t trouble yourself too much.
I’ve got all of the gear for reservoir fishing: the canopy, fishing platform, stoves, generators, tents.
You just need to prepare your own fishing equipment and we’re all set!
We’ll pick you up in the car; nothing will be delayed!” Liu Fengnian said confidently.
“Okay then, I don’t have much experience or knowledge with those, so I’ll leave it to you.
I’ll be responsible for preparing the bait for the next two days and buying some food for everyone to eat while we play!” Yue Feng said generously.
When going out to play together, since others were providing all sorts of resources, Yue Feng naturally wanted to contribute too.
It wasn’t about how much money was involved; this was Yue Feng’s principle.
We’ll prepare separately and keep in touch by phone if necessary!”
After the few of them confirmed their plans for next Monday, the celebration lunch seemed less important.
They had been fishing all morning and after having their fill, everyone went their separate ways to rest and recover.
Yue Feng also hurried back to his shop to prepare for the upcoming reservoir fishing.
Yue Feng cherished this opportunity and immediately found a notepad, mulling over the details one by one.
Since it was reservoir fishing, bait was essential.
Recently, carps and grass carps had been feeding, and it wouldn’t do to aim for small fish like crucian carps in the reservoir.
Wanting to catch big fish meant needing a substantial amount of bait.
At the very least, a few dozen bags of Old Tan’s corn from the market would be necessary.
Yue Feng didn’t care much about the cost of these materials.
Biting the bullet, he ordered a wholesaler to ship him a full box.
If it was used up, so be it; if not, he would sell what was left in his store.
Besides the bait, large-sized line assemblies and long fishing rods were essential.
Ideally, a few sea rods would be best, but Liu Fengnian said he had some during lunch, so Yue Feng didn’t make any additional preparations.
After going through everything thoroughly, Yue Feng gradually organized his thoughts.
Hence, he spent the afternoon meticulously and patiently preparing those things that needed advance preparation.
To prepare for this reservoir fishing trip, Yue Feng had really splurged.
He bought a new 24-foot long fishing rod for reservoir fishing and prepared the corresponding lines, floats, and other consumables, along with the bait and food purchased from the supermarket.
In total, he spent over two thousand yuan.
With the plans in place, Yue Feng didn’t go out for a fishing live stream over the weekend.
His shop opened at half-past five in the morning and did steady business until eight in the evening, marking it as the most stable day since he had taken over the shop.
He didn’t stream, but Yue Feng posted a message about his upcoming trip, which his viewers pushed with over a thousand comments, showing their high anticipation for the reservoir fishing live stream.
At half-past three on Monday morning, Liu Fengnian’s Toyota pickup arrived at Yue Feng’s shop.
With the vehicles loaded, a party of five, splitting across three cars, set off.
Their destination: Cliff Dam Reservoir in Lechang County!
