Chapter 170 - 170 170 Bait Opening in the Bathtub

170: Chapter 170: Bait Opening in the Bathtub 170: Chapter 170: Bait Opening in the Bathtub After parking the car, Yue Feng took a quick glance at the fishing spot’s surroundings and could tell that the anglers who came this time were generally better equipped than those from his last visit; many were fully armed and looked quite menacing.

Yue Feng lifted his fishing gear from the car and was about to head to the yard when he heard the system notification in his head.

Ding!

The daily task [Big Cannon Pit Debut] has been automatically triggered.

[Big Cannon Pit Debut]: The Big Cannon Black Pit fishing spot is a new type of commercial fishing venue.

With the growing scarcity of fishery resources, this type of commercial fishing atmosphere has become increasingly intense in some regions, occupying a significant portion in freshwater fishing.

Task details: Engage in a normal fishing session in the Big Cannon Pit.

The final reward will be determined by the fish haul and actual fishing performance, with corresponding scores assigned.

There are no mandatory requirements for this task, but the higher the composite score, the higher the reward, with no upper limit!

Damn, a daily task triggered!

As Yue Feng’s fishing skills had improved, it was almost impossible to trigger such one-time daily tasks in small venues.

He didn’t expect that the Big Cannon Pit would actually trigger a task.

The very next second, Yue Feng didn’t hesitate to accept the task.

This type of task was a freebie from the system; with no requirements, there was no reason to miss out.

In no time, Brother Liu and the rest had also arrived one after another, and the number of members in Yue Feng’s Black Pit squad had increased from four to five.

Actually, it was six; the chubby Wang Meng whom they had met at the fishing spot before, also came along with Wang Dong.

Everyone had bought their bait from Yue Feng’s shop the day before, with no differences between them.

After unloading their gear, Liu Fengnian brought over a large plastic bowl from his car and took it straight to Yue Feng.

“Mind helping out a bit?

Could you open the bait for all of us?” Liu Fengnian asked.

Yue Feng looked at the large bowl in front of him, big enough to bathe a child in, and swallowed reflexively.

Damn, that was a bit exaggerated.

Seeing Yue Feng’s expression, everyone laughed.

Wang Dong said, “Haha, seeing that bathtub, does it shake you up a bit?

I felt the same when I first saw it!”

Yue Feng scratched his head, “This really is my first time playing this way, but there’s nothing to be nervous about.

Let’s do it, each person three pounds to start with!

Leave it to me!”

“Yeah, with such great material, shouldn’t we take some pictures or shoot a short video or something?

You work on opening the bait, we’ll help you with that!”

Yue Feng thought, right, ordinary anglers have never seen this stuff; if he uploaded it to the platform, it would definitely attract attention.

“Liu bro has really thought this through!

Come, bring over the bait, let’s start opening!” Yue Feng called out, found a large bait opening bowl for himself, and turned to scoop up a bowl of water from nearby.

With five people fishing and each person needing three pounds of Loose Powder, that made a total of 15 pounds of bait to prepare, which would certainly be challenging to get right all at once.

However, Yue Feng was by no means intimidated; he had Basic Bait Opening Skill, and apart from the bowl being unusually large, there were no significant hardware difficulties in handling it.

Yue Feng poured more than ten pounds of bait into the bowl, and without even using a measuring cup, he took the water bowl in both hands and poured it straight in.

Seeing Yue Feng’s bold approach, Liu Fengnian couldn’t help but feel a bit tense inside.

What’s going on, opening so much bait at once, all by feel?

Using a measuring cup, Liu Fengnian felt he could prepare the bait well, but like Yue Feng doing it by feel, Liu Fengnian wasn’t sure in his heart.

Originally, suggesting that Yue Feng prepare the bait was to remind him to find some material for short videos, that is, to provide a little scene with some visual interest, but seeing Yue Feng’s approach, don’t mess it up.

Bait opening, actually, is just the operation of adjusting the water ratio according to the fishing strategy to reach the desired state.

When the amount of bait is quite small, it’s simple, but once the quantity of bait increases, how much water to add, whether to add it quickly or slowly, all of these will have certain impacts on the performance of the bait.

How to overcome these impacts to achieve the desired result is also a piece of fishing knowledge.

The normal, rational method is to first use a large measuring cup to measure the amount of bait, then calculate the corresponding amount of water, pour it separately into a bowl, and then mix it all together quickly to combine evenly.

Yue Feng now skipped the steps of measuring the bait and water altogether.

Could it really be prepared well?

The reality was that Yue Feng actually did prepare it well!

The water that seemed to be poured in so casually turned out to have a very suitable ratio after a round of vigorous mixing and kneading.

The Loose Powder bait was fluffy and even, and it was in very good condition.

With a smartphone in hand, Liu Fengnian glanced over, incredulously pinched a clump of bait, and thought, wow, it was even a bit better than the bait he prepared with a measuring cup.

“Not bad!

Who taught you this trick?” exclaimed Liu Fengnian with great admiration.

Yue Feng grinned and laughed, “I winged it.

I was planning to add more flour if there was too much water, and add more water if there was too much flour.

Now it’s just right, saving me the later steps!”

Relying on luck!

And here I thought you had it figured out!

This bait preparation is really blustering!” Qiangzi, holding his own bait opening bowl, said this while unceremoniously scooping bait into his bowl.

In just a few moves, he filled his bowl.

Following suit, everyone found a bowl and portioned out the bait, three pounds of Loose Powder bait; a large bait opening bowl was just about right for each person.

After everyone else had their share, the remainder, just a tiny bit more, was left for Yue Feng.

He added a bit of water, kneaded the extra bait into soft sticky bait, and distributed it to everyone.

With that, the bait preparations were completely finished.

This kind of stunning feat of successfully preparing a large bowl of bait on the first attempt surprised many onlookers who had been there to watch the fun.

Quite a few anglers from afar started muttering to themselves.

That was the champion of the last regular fishing match, who had sneakily beaten Zhou Tao!

He truly had some skills.

While Yue Feng and his group had finished preparing the bait and were adjusting their floats and getting ready, Zhao Dezong entered the fishing grounds with his fishing box, keeping a low profile.

Originally, three people had agreed to come fish at the Big Cannon Pit, and they had paid the fees.

But Zhou Tao felt humiliated after losing the fish pinching contest and gave his spot to a friend.

Li Cungen, even more mysteriously, holed up at home, not daring to go out, and similarly relinquished his spot.

Now only Zhao Dezong was left, coming alone to fish.

Zhao Dezong, as an insider, was only a notch below Zhou Tao in terms of fishing skill level, but perhaps had a little more experience in the Black Pit Big Cannon events.

As an angler with a sturdy physique and plenty of fishing experience, he was a tough and skilled competitor in the regular Big Cannon Pit matches.

As soon as he entered the gates of the fishing grounds, someone spotted little Zhao, greeting him with a smile.

Having worked in a fishing gear shop for many years, Zhao Dezong knew nearly everyone at the fishing grounds.

He greeted everyone with a smile as he passed by, a clear local big-shot.

What had been a pretty good mood turned stiff upon seeing Yue Feng and Liu Fengnian’s group.

Dammit, these guys were here too.
