Chapter 157 - 157 157 Bait

157: Chapter 157 Bait 157: Chapter 157 Bait After several rounds of drinks, Yue Feng became more acquainted with He Wenlong.

The boss, He Wenlong, must have a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but his face turned red down to his neck after just one beer.

“Yue, you mentioned you were going to have a fish-off this evening when we were weighing the fish.

Who’s it with?”

When asked this question, Yue Feng didn’t hide anything and said frankly, “Oh, I don’t even know who the opponent is yet!

It was Li Cungen who called for it!”

“Who?

I was gone in the morning, did he trouble you again?

I’m going to call him right now!” As soon as He Wenlong heard this, his eyebrows knitted together, and he was ready to take out his phone to make a call.

“No need, it’s just a fish-off, not a fight.

I agreed to it myself.

No need to get so worked up, Brother Long!” Yue Feng stopped him, saying.

Seeing how calm Yue Feng was, He Wenlong put down his phone and said, “That guy really is nothing good, always causing trouble without a thought for his father!

But he’s willing to spend money and has good relationships with those competition anglers!

If you’re going up against someone he’s chosen for a fish-off, it’s easy to be at a disadvantage!”

With the Black Pit Miracle produced by the mall at hand, Yue Feng felt even more confident and said lightly, “No need!

It’s just a fish-off!

Regardless of him playing in competitions or how experienced an angler he is, I’m not scared!

We’ll play, it’s no big deal!”

At that moment, Liu Fengnian chimed in, “I called Feng Lin earlier, he’ll be coming this afternoon too!”

Upon hearing this, He Wenlong looked up at Liu Fengnian in surprise, “Old Zhang’s injury is healed?

He’s a constant victor in my pond, whether it’s sneak fishing or proper angling, he’s almost always in the top ranks.

That 303-pound record at the fishing site is still held by him!”

Liu Fengnian replied, “He’s still not completely healed; his ankle is still in a cast.

But Bait Opening isn’t affected.

He’ll send over the bait he’s prepared for me this afternoon, and tonight’s sneak fishing, at the very least, we can’t let Yue lose on account of the bait!”

Hearing this, a warm surge filled Yue Feng’s heart – Liu Big Brother really had his back.

“We’ll talk about tonight’s fish-off after dinner!

This is the first time I’m drinking with Boss He, so I’ll toast to you!” Yue Feng found an excuse, picked up his full glass of beer, and gulped it down.

When it comes to how people’s temperaments and personalities mesh, there really is something about compatibility.

Liu Fengnian and Yue Feng, although they hadn’t known each other for long, got along exceptionally well in regular times.

And He Wenlong, after interacting with Yue Feng, also felt that this young man suited his tastes quite well.

The two hit it off, downing two beers together and growing more familiar with each other.

A simple lunch, with drinks and food, went on until nearly two in the afternoon before it concluded!

Wei Liang and Qiangzi drank a bit too much and excused themselves to sleep it off in the car, leaving only He Wenlong, Liu Fengnian, and Yue Feng.

“Yue, are you confident about tonight’s fish-off?

Now that it’s just the three of us, if you’re feeling uncertain, we could have Xiao He mediate for you and cancel it!” Liu Fengnian suggested this for the second time, evidently not very optimistic about Yue Feng’s chances.

“Liu is right, I can cancel it for you, that’d be safest!

You still have your fishing gear shop.

Li Cungen wouldn’t lose much if he loses, but a loss for you would be a big blow to your reputation and face!”

Yue Feng just smiled and lifted the teapot to refill their cups, “I don’t even know who I’m up against!

To say I’m sure to win would be boasting!”

“But without the Vajra, I wouldn’t be handling any porcelain work!

I still have some tricks up my sleeve, and after a good meal, it’s time to see if my secret weapon actually works!”

Ever since Liu Fengnian had met Yue Feng, he had always found it difficult to fully understand this young man, who always seemed able to produce various strange and unheard-of items, and they always worked well too.

He wondered what ace Yue Feng might still have up his sleeve this time.

“Let’s not wait any longer.

There’s nobody around the Black Pit now, let’s go try it out together!

The sooner we get results, the sooner we can make plans!” He Wenlong suggested.

“Okay, let’s go and give it a try right now!”

Emerging from the shack, Yue Feng carried his rod and the Black Pit Miracle Donkey-theft Kit he had just purchased from the mall before noontime, and sauntered to the water’s edge of the fishing ground.

The fishing ground had two oxygenators running, creating rippling waves on the surface to ensure there was abundant dissolved oxygen in the water, in the hopes that the fish that didn’t bite during the day would be more eager to bite at night when it came time to “steal donkeys.”

“Xiao He, how many fish do you reckon are still left in the pit now?” Liu Fengnian casually asked, looking out over the water.

“We had less than five thousand out this morning, plus the leftover fish from the last session.

To play it safe, there should be around 2,500 jin of fish in the pond!

I personally accompanied the truck to bring these fish back from Tianjin Pond, and their quality is definitely much better than what you’d get from the transfer market.

Now, after oxygenating all afternoon, there should be another round of fast fish before nine this evening!”

While they were talking, Yue Feng had already taken out the powder and doughball pellets from the kit.

The contraption was quite simple to use.

First, Yue Feng moistened the rubber-band pellets with a tiny bit of water, then sprinkled the white powder on them, sealed the bottle, and shook it until each pellet was evenly coated with the powder.

And with that, it was ready.

When fishing, he would fill the bottle cap with a little water.

After hooking the rubber-band pellets, he would dip them in the water, and the white powder would transform into a viscous, jelly-like substance.

Then he’d roll the pellets in a layer of doughball pellets, coating the dual hooks with a thick layer, and he could start fishing.

This gadget might sound complicated, but in reality, it was highly efficient.

The rubber-band pellets wouldn’t fall off the hook as dough bait did when lifting the rod; they could be reused several times.

Every time the rod was raised, the smaller pellets would stay behind in the fishing spot, both retaining fish and imitating the state of bait scattering into the water as if by a feeding machine.

Yue Feng briefly demonstrated how to use it, but Liu Fengnian was skeptical, “Isn’t this just like instant glue beans mixed with doughball pellets?

Are you sure it’s good for stealing donkeys?”

He Wenlong was also doubtful, chiming in, “I’ve seen anglers try this stuff in the pit a long time ago, but I never saw it work particularly well!”

“Let’s just give it a shot, and if it doesn’t work, we can switch to something else!” Yue Feng picked a spot a bit farther from the oxygenators to set down his Fishing Box and patiently began to cast and experiment.

Having faith in the system-produced gadget, Yue Feng wasn’t fishing for long, not even five minutes, when the float started to show bites!

With the oxygenators on, the movements on the water surface were quite noticeable, affecting the visibility of the float, but this didn’t interfere with the bites below the surface.

The float Yue Feng used signaled a strong and clear bite, each lift of the rod hooking fish precisely at the 12 o’clock position.

In less than ten minutes, Yue Feng had consistently caught at least five fish.

After the float went down, there were still subtle movements, making it clear that more fish had come into the nest!
