117: Chapter 117: The Same Fishing Livestream, A Different Audience 117: Chapter 117: The Same Fishing Livestream, A Different Audience “Cliff Dam Reservoir?

Why does that name sound so familiar!”

“I remember now, Brother Feng was live streaming here a couple of days ago, and he even caught a carp that weighed dozens of pounds during the stream, which he ended up releasing!”

“Right, Brother Feng was here too!

Does the host know Brother Feng?

Yue Feng’s fishing live stream!”

“Reserve the entire place?

He must be bluffing!

Brother Feng was still broadcasting at noon, organizing a meet-up with his fans for fishing at the reservoir!”

Sometimes the viewers in the live stream are very forgiving, but if they start to nitpick, it can be quite a headache.

Originally, Wang Jian’s fan base was not as loyal, most of them attracted by giveaways and leaderboards, and now as soon as there was a rhythm in the live room, it became completely one-sided.

Wang Jian hadn’t thought too much when he spoke before, thinking that a reservoir of several hundred acres being fished by two groups of people could be considered having reserved it, but he was still caught by the viewers who took things seriously.

“Uh, we were guarding the south bank’s deep water zone in the Cliff Dam Reservoir, waiting for the big fish.

The reservoir is hundreds of acres, you know, and as for the host you mentioned, we didn’t see him when we came, we didn’t mean to bluff everybody!”

With so many people watching the live stream, there was no way Wang Jian was going to admit he was wrong.

He had a stroke of inspiration and found an excuse to muddle through the situation.

Everyone sort of accepted Wang Jian’s explanation, and the commotion eventually settled down.

Just then, not far from Wang Jian, Yu Qulong’s float signaled a big bite—fish on!

The sound of a long rod piercing the water surface reached the live stream, and the viewers were stirred up again.

“Has someone caught a big fish over there?

Host, show us, please!”

“Let’s see it +1, I also heard the sound of the rod dipping to stab the fish just now!”

Wang Jian was just wondering how to divert the topic, and his senior brother’s timing with the fish couldn’t have been better.

“The one who got the fish is a companion that came with us, my senior brother Yu Qulong!

He is a registered competitive angler with the Fishing Association.

He’s quite renowned around here.

Now I will adjust the camera for everyone to see the fish playing!”

While introducing, Wang Jian gave his senior brother a decent, albeit not excessive, amount of praise.

It’s true that he was registered, and theoretically, having a CAA membership points card counts as being registered.

But one must accumulate a certain number of points within a specific cycle to be graded.

Currently, Yu Qulong has no ranking, not even qualifying as a Third Level Competitive Fishing Master.

Wang Jian took his phone off the live stream stand and adjusted the camera to capture his senior brother, who was lifting the rod to play the fish, bringing him into the view of the live stream audience.

Without a comparison, there would be no hurt feelings, but compared to Yue Feng’s ultra-high-definition, steady live stream footage, Wang Jian’s handheld mobile streaming was much worse—the shaky camera footage made the viewers feel a bit dizzy.

Despite this, seeing the eight-meter rod bent into a big arch, the viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but watch with interest.

The fishing spot chosen by Wang Jian’s group on the south bank was quite deep, with an eight-meter rod, nine meters of line, and the water depth exceeding four and a half meters.

The fish hadn’t surfaced yet, but judging by the bend in the rod, it seemed to be quite a catch.

“An eight-meter rod?

Judging by the bend, the fish must be big, right?

Host, aren’t you going to have a weight-guessing giveaway?”

“Yeah, host, other live streams would play this kind of game in this situation!

Are you going to do it?”

“I guess this fish weighs at least seven or eight pounds!

The rod is bent all the way to the third or fourth segment!”

“The person upstairs is even more anxious than the monkey, the host hasn’t said we’ll start playing yet!”

Wang Jian scratched his head, somewhat speechless at the viewers who stayed only for the prizes.

This wasn’t the first time he had been led by the nose like this.

Wang Jian had initially retained his fans this way, so fan loyalty had to be maintained with prizes.

They would always demand gifts from the host, and the slightest disagreement would lead to them starting to argue and set the tone.

“Since the brothers in the live room have spoken, I, Wang Jian, certainly won’t be stingy.

The one who guesses the closest weight will get a set of two bottles of Black Pit all-purpose bait for wild fishing!” Wang Jian then said.

“Just one set?

Come on, at least give away three or five sets.

There are hundreds of people in the live room, the host is being too stingy!”

If it were Yue Feng’s live stream, such manipulations would hardly ever occur, but in Wang Jian’s live stream, comments like these seemed to appear every day.

Items like bait were very cheap to produce, and one could make up some of the costs through shipping fees and other tricks, but Wang Jian found it hard to tolerate these people’s attitudes.

Wang Jian harbored deep resentment towards these folks in his heart, but he couldn’t show it on his face.

He had to act as if he hadn’t seen anything.

The fishing continued, and the live stream’s interaction of guessing the fish’s weight went on.

These guys started off reasonably, with guesses within a ten-pound range, but then someone led the way and it got wildly exaggerated, with guesses rocketing up to fifty pounds or more.

Wang Jian walked behind Yu Qulong to the angler’s post and quietly asked, “Need a switch?”

Yu Qulong shook his head, his hands steady on the rod.

In fact, this was a pre-arranged signal.

If the fish was sizeable, the senior brother would hand over the rod to Wang Jian, since it was Wang Jian who was live streaming and needed the footage.

A few minutes later, the fish was out of the water.

The sight was astounding.

The fish that had bent the rod into a great arch weighed only two to three pounds once out of water.

The brothers in the live room were cheering for nothing.

The closest guess was from an angler who had guessed five pounds, a full two pounds over the actual weight.

“This is freaking misleading!

How can such a small fish have the gall to bite the hook in a reservoir where even the carps weigh over a pound?

Making everyone so tense!”

“Ha ha!

I just want to ask who guessed fifty pounds!”

“Pot calling the kettle black—you’re the one who guessed eleven pounds, huh?

Almost enough if you pile four together to make eleven pounds!”

Wang Jian curled his lip and explained, “The spot we chose has deeper water.

Right now, the depth at my senior brother’s fishing spot is nearly five meters, so the fish feel stronger underwater after being hooked.

Plus, they are wild fish bred in a reservoir, which means they are naturally stronger!

The closest guess comes from a viewer named ‘Leopard Head Zero Charge’.

After the stream, direct message me, and I’ll contact you to send your guessing prize!”

…

Meanwhile, Yue Feng was rushing to the airport by car.

The baby dressed casually in white sneakers, capris, a T-shirt, and wore oversized sunglasses and a HelloKitty-patterned face mask, looking like a star disembarking from a plane, hanging onto her BFF Su Cheng’s arm in one hand and towing her suitcase with the other as she walked out of the arrival gate.

“I wonder if that stinker has arrived yet.

This small plane was really cramped!” The baby grumbled quietly to her BFF as they walked.

“He should have, didn’t you tell him the time before you boarded?” Su Cheng, visiting W City for the first time, glanced around the airport environment after they emerged from the passage, finding the facilities of the small airport quite shabby in comparison to Magic City.

Yue Feng, constantly looking out from the passenger seat, brightened up when he saw two beautiful figures emerge from the gate.

He said to the driver, “They’re here!”
