Fishing Livestream
Chapter 165 - 165 165 Mold God Possession

165: Chapter 165 [Mold God Possession] 165: Chapter 165 [Mold God Possession] After ending the live stream, Yue Feng began packing up his gear.

Fishing for just two hours wasn’t long, but being in a constant state of high tension was more exhausting than fishing for half the morning.

Now with his stomach growling, Yue Feng was eager to find a place to have a drink and celebrate with the brothers who had been busy by his side, and to relax his tense nerves.

After arranging his equipment, Yue Feng didn’t take his catch; he greeted Boss He, considering the fish caught as payment for the fishing fees.

Having taken care of the aftermath, Yue Feng called over a few fellows who had come with him and also invited Master Zhang Fenglin.

Regardless of whether he had been of help, the man had come with injuries to deliver bait, which was a significant favor in itself.

Besides, Master Zhang’s fishing skills and insights were quite admirable, which made for a good opportunity for Yue Feng to learn from him.

If it had been anyone else, Old Zhang, with his injuries, would likely have declined such an invitation, but Yue Feng was different.

Setting aside his fishing abilities and character, Old Zhang had his mind set on that rod named Chengying!

Hearing Yue Feng’s invitation to have a meal together, Old Zhang agreed without hesitation.

Taking several turns, they soon entered the city and under Brother Liu’s guidance, they drove to a restaurant called Yipinju.

If it was a restaurant valued by Old Liu, it definitely had some signature dishes.

It was Yue Feng’s first time there, so he had to trouble Liu Fengnian and Qiangzi to take care of ordering while he helped Zhang Fenglin into the nearest private room and quickly settled down.

“Not bad, Little Yue, your fishing skills are much higher than I expected!” Zhang Fenglin said with a laugh as he settled into his seat and started chatting with Yue Feng.

Yue Feng scratched his head embarrassingly, “It’s just good luck!

In terms of skills, I definitely can’t compare with Zhou Tao!

You flatter me too much!”

“Quite humble!

That’s good!

But I’m really curious about one thing, how did you come up with the idea to give Zhou Tao a way out?

Betting the rod as a wager, it’s quite the thought!” Zhang Fenglin said.

When asked about this, Yue Feng curled his lips: “I wasn’t planning to change it at first, but then I thought, even if Zhou Tao calls me ‘Dad,’ it doesn’t really benefit me much, does it?

But betting the rod is different.

It was Li Cungen who brought the man, so even if I lost, he would definitely be responsible!

If the rod was forfeited, it would certainly cost money to replace the section, and it would be Li Cungen’s money!

Isn’t he the one who’s not short on cash?

Then let him spend a bit more!”

At this, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Yue Feng usually seemed quite steady, but he could be quick-witted in a pinch.

This idea could only be described in two words: cunningly sly!

At this moment, Liu Fengnian timely changed the subject: “By the way, Yue Feng, could you get a few sets of your fishing rods for the brothers?

During your fight with the fish, Old Zhang and I studied them for a long time.

The craftsmanship, paintwork, and flexibility are fantastic!

Next to your rod, even Speed Rods aren’t tempting anymore!”

Knowing Yue Feng, Old Liu thought that if Yue Feng had a way, he would readily agree, but hearing Liu’s request made Yue Feng show a troubled expression.

“It’s not that I’m stingy and unwilling to help, but this rod is a sample from a friend that hasn’t been released to the market.

I only got it by being persistently annoying!

It involves the secrecy of some data about the materials and craftsmanship of the rod; even if I asked, the owner would definitely have a hard time agreeing!”

“That’s a shame, then!” Zhang Fenglin said, suddenly losing interest after hearing Yue Feng’s explanation.

At their age, people are really willing to spend money on things they like, after all, they have the means.

But when it comes to interpersonal relationships, they’re also more tactful and considerate, thinking more from other people’s perspectives.

Yue Feng explained clearly enough, involving someone else’s confidential information, and then asking would be unwise and fruitless.

“I can’t get it for now, but I can keep an eye out.

If there are less sensitive items, I can show the guys, arrange a round!” Yue Feng added.

“Alright!

Let’s exchange numbers later.

A friend of Old Ken is a friend of mine.

I like your style, little bro.

We should hang out more often!” Zhang Fenglin said generously, putting the issue behind them.

After getting past the somewhat sensitive topic, the mood at the table improved a lot.

Qiangzi and Wei Liang took care of pouring tea and water, everyone joked and teased each other, and after a few drinks, the atmosphere quickly heated up.

After chatting for a while, Wei Liang, who hadn’t said much before, suddenly threw out a question, “Today’s fishing was just too weird!

I still can’t figure it out; why, when two people are fishing side by side, with almost the same fishing spots and techniques, and even with the same last digits in their scores, could there be such a huge difference in the weight of the fish they caught?

Zhang, Liu, do you know why?

Tell us about it!”

Yue Feng also had this question in mind, but he was too shy to ask.

To his surprise, Wei Liang couldn’t hold back.

“I think it’s because of Yue Feng’s bait!

The rubber particles must have played a big role.

Bigger fish prefer them!” Liu Fengnian offered his judgment.

Zhang Fenglin, however, shook his head, “No, that’s not it, at least not the main reason!

Did you guys notice that the doughballs Zhou Tao used later were black?

The problem lies with that stuff.”

“Hm?

There’s a trick to these doughball particles?” Qiangzi asked.

“Definitely, different fish have their own preferences for bait flavors!

The bigger the fish, the more they prefer plant-based bait.

Smaller fish are more sensitive to fishy smells!

If I’m not mistaken, these black doughball particles are similar to the stinky, high-protein pellets used for sturgeon.

Although they also have a good effect in attracting and keeping fish around, they are more tempting to smaller carps!

Conversely, the pellets that Yue Feng used, which looked quite ordinary, turned out to be much more effective than expected!”

“Learned another trick!

Alright, let’s have another drink,” they chimed.

…

The small celebration lasted from a little past 7:30 in the evening until after 9:00.

By the time Yue Feng made it back to his shop, it was nearly 10:00.

He had drunk quite a bit that evening, but Yue Feng was still fairly sober.

After returning to his room and locking the doors and windows, he submitted his challenge for the day at the mere thought.
