Chapter 176 - 176 176 Countermeasure

176: Chapter 176: Countermeasure 176: Chapter 176: Countermeasure Yue Feng’s gaze swept over the other’s rod and line arrangement, and he got his answer!

This guy went too far, he indeed changed the rod, but not the main line.

He was still using the same 4.8m one, and switched to a new float, one that was several dozen centimeters long.

Although this setup could make it a bit harder to slip fish through and slow the catching speed, it could also cast to a comparably far distance, similarly effective as changing the rods and lines from just a while ago.

“See for yourself, the rod is 15 feet long!” After changing, Teacher Bai even purposely showed the length marking on the handle of the rod to Yue Feng a few times to demonstrate that he had switched rods.

Now Yue Feng was frustrated.

The fishing site rules limited rod length but didn’t clearly require a specific float or line length.

While the opponent’s overly long rod could be a reason to complain to the site owner, there wasn’t much chance of solving the problem that way now.

“Young people are just too hotheaded.

Why not simply enjoy fishing next to each other, be a bit accommodating, and that’s it—why go through all this trouble!

Now I can still cast far enough; what can you do about it?

If you can’t stand it, go complain to the pond owner; let’s see if Xiao He cares or not?”

Seeing Yue Feng’s face stiffen and look rather unpleasant, Teacher Bai added another ambiguous sentence.

In normal conversation, the live broadcast’s microphone was on, and everyone could hear it.

The public channel immediately exploded!

“Damn, who is this guy, acting so cocky!”

“No class, Black Pit is just being spoiled by these rule-breaking eagles!”

“If he can change, so can we!

Cut him off; let him show off then!”

“Bro Feng has such a good temper.

If it were me, I would have looked for the pond owner by now.

Didn’t you say last time that the rules here are very strict and no exceptions are given for rule violations!”

Mysterious Person: “Since there’s no limit on line and float length, you can use the Dragging Float, and still cast farther than him!”

Just then, a system notification sound emerged in Yue Feng’s mind.

Ding!

The system detected that the host is currently fishing in an unfair competition environment.

Auto-retaliate function activated.

Do you confirm implementation?

The items provided by the retaliation plan will consume twice the normal amount of lottery points for purchase.

Special warning!

Concerning fairness and pride, if the balance is insufficient, the system allows a temporary overdraft of points.

The opponent exploited the rules of the fishing site, but could not escape the system’s assessment, and Yue Feng had just triggered an auto-retaliation against a fishing site ruffian.

Retaliation?

What retaliation?

How to retaliate?

Yue Feng began communicating with the system.

“Based on the current rule violation, the system assesses that the best recommendations are one [Dragging Float] and one [Super Long Must Cut Card]!”

[Dragging Float]: A special float designed specifically for restricted rod and float length situations in Black Pit fishing.

Total length 55cm, sight length 5cm.

Float stem length 46cm.

Combined with the Floating Lead Fishing Method, it allows for reaching further spots, thus precisely improving the fish catch.

Note: Current system sale price 28,888 points.

[Super Long Must Cut Card]: A restrictive card, after being used on a specified target, triggers this effect: as long as the target angler uses a line length that exceeds the standard value, the fish caught must cut the line and break off!

Duration 10 hours!

Note: Current system sale price 36,666 points!

Yue Feng was surprised to see the products refreshed by the system, but after reading the performance and descriptions, they seemed quite appropriate, especially the card, perfect for taking care of the person next to him!

The only painful part was the double deduction of points; the two items together would cost over sixty thousand points, which Yue Feng could just afford with his saved points.

Now wasn’t the time to fret over points; many viewers were watching.

Yue Feng gritted his teeth and hesitated no more, choosing to confirm!

Ding!

65,554 points deducted!

Special float has been automatically placed in the float box!

[Super Long Must Cut Card] can be selected and targeted in the virtual space using your thoughts, and activation is completed!

No rush to use the float, but first, let’s arrange the card.

Yue Feng selected Teacher Bai, and with a thought, the virtual card was activated and used!

The old man next to Yue Feng suddenly felt a bit of inexplicable anxiety, but this feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Brothers, this fish is a bit tricky to catch.

It’s time to bring out our secret weapon!” Yue Feng called out and turned to take a float box out of his rod bag.

Indeed, upon opening the float box, there was a float with a somewhat unique size ratio.

This thing was completely different from the usual floats, with a very small body and only three eyelets for the tail.

What really caught the eye was its forty-centimeter long carbon legs!

“What kind of float is this, Brother Feng?

It looks so strange!”

“What is this thing used for?”

“Can any expert explain what this is and how to use it?”

Yue Feng, holding the float, said, “The Running Lead Float, also known as the lead-free self-standing float, is specifically developed for fishing in extreme conditions.

Its operating principle is somewhat similar to that of Full Flying Lead, but the effect is even more extreme, reaching farther distances.

The float body is very thin, so it does not take on any lead; the buoyancy of the entire float is almost entirely consumed by the long carbon legs.

When using this, the Lead Skin only needs to be slightly larger than that used for regular leaded fishing.

Once cast, the underwater line becomes almost completely taut and diagonal.

The normal rotational fishing method has a line and wind line that are typically vertical, and the bait drops much closer compared to when the line is completely taut.

However, this type of float also has a drawback—the process of lifting the rod to hook the fish is much like tug-of-war, making it easy for the fish to run or break off the hook.”

After explaining the basics of the Dragging Float, Yue Feng casually removed the regular float from the rod and replaced it with the new one!

The Dragging Float does not require adjusting the lead skin; just loosening the bean on the lead skin seat a bit will do.

After a brief demonstration, Yue Feng cast the rod into the water and began to make adjustments.

Because of the proportion of the Dragging Float, its long legs can make the line tilt more directly and reach farther.

After replacing the float, it was necessary to push the float up a bit.

Once he finished pushing the float, Yue Feng’s line adjustments were complete.

Just then, Mr.

White next to him hooked a fish!

With a flick of his wrist, he skilfully and delicately pierced the fish’s mouth, but before he could fully straighten the rod, it snapped back straight, and the leader line was cut!

As an angler with solid fundamentals like Mr.

White, issues like hooks breaking off or fish running were rare.

The force he applied on that cast should have been fine, but seeing the cut leader line, Mr.

White was slightly stunned.

What happened?

Why did the line break, and I didn’t feel the fish exerting too much force that I couldn’t control?

Could it be that there was a nick in the leader line?

After replacing with a new set of leader lines and knowing that Full Flying Lead makes it easier for hooks to break off during a tug-of-war, Mr.

White specifically switched to a 2.0 leader line.

But soon after, he had another black float incident, lifted the rod to hook the fish, and after a brief standoff, the leader line was cut again!

This time Mr.

White was truly disheartened!

With a 2.0 leader line, even in a tug-of-war, the chances of successfully landing a fish were over sixty percent.

But now, after switching to the longer line and slightly exerting force, he had cut through two sets of leader lines in succession!
