Chapter 277 - 277 276 Four Categories of Race Part 6

277: Chapter 276: Four Categories of Race (Part 6) 277: Chapter 276: Four Categories of Race (Part 6) “He bared his teeth at you?” Luan Xiaohu, standing beside Zhen Shuang, glared as soon as he heard this.

He had always been squarely built and robust since he was little, acting as the muscle in their trio of scoundrels.

Wang Xiaoli took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a ring of smoke, and said, “Baring his teeth would be an overstatement, but he did come off quite arrogant, just rubbed me the wrong way and ticked me off!”

Upon hearing this, Luan Xiaohu said, “That’s easy to deal with.

Just need to signal our familiar folks to snipe him in a coordinated attack.

Didn’t he score just one point in the first round?

And his tail number is pretty high too.

If he ends up next to one of our brothers in the next mixed breed round, we can just set him up and be done with it!”

Zhen Shuang chimed in, “I think it’s a good idea!

This kid sticks out like a sore thumb in the competition, even doing a live drone broadcast, giving him a taste of humility and crushing his pompous spirit sounds about right!”

Luan Xiaohu couldn’t wait and said, “I’m going to spread the word right now.

Anyway, among us, only Wang Zhen scored some points and still has a chance to make it into the top three.

The rest of us didn’t fare so well.

If we’re drawn together in the next round, game over for him!”

Watching Luan Xiaohu leave the group to connect with acquaintances, Wang Xiaoli did not stop him.

In their small team, it had always been Wang Xiaoli who came up with the cunning plans, while Zhen Shuang and Luan Xiaohu carried them out.

Besides, they were seasoned at coordinating with acquaintances to target an angler during away competitions; this was all too familiar for them.

Up to this point, many people might be wondering.

In a standard draw-based competition, how do you snipe someone?

Through what means and methods can you achieve your goal?

In fact, it’s quite simple.

Competitive fishing has this particular points system, so a single round of poor catch significantly impacts the overall contest results.

If someone draws a bad spot and ends up with the highest score, which is the worst, they’re essentially out of contention for a placing.

With such a premise, should you even bother competing in the following matches?

Of course you should because every competition gives participation points that add up.

Those aiming for a ranking take these points seriously.

But with no hope for a good placement, it helps breed dirty moves aimed at sabotaging certain competitors.

Catching more fish is often difficult, but if you play dirty to affect the catch of the person next to you, there are plenty of tricks available.

The milder methods include chit-chat distractions, whereby continuous conversation disrupts the competitor’s focus.

If the other party is less experienced, they will be affected, ultimately impacting the catch.

The more disgusting moves might even involve adding stimulants or substances into the bait that are distinctly irritating to fish.

For example, pig’s milk, a common fisherman’s remedy, can, if used excessively, become so overpowering that fish within several meters may scatter.

Competition in this field often involves real fame and monetary interests, making such incidents not uncommon.

Competitors coming alone in pursuit of the competition are dwindling, and most now resort to seeking mentors or forming groups as small teams.

While these teams of various sizes have enriched the competitive sports atmosphere, they have also indirectly contributed to the deterioration of sportsmanship.

About half an hour of waiting time passed remarkably quickly, and as soon as the referees finished tallying the first round results, they immediately began the second round’s draw.

Yue Feng didn’t need to hold back anymore in the second round, and with a thought, he activated the active effect of the Badge.

Ding!

The active effect has been successfully activated, and the current host’s Luck value has increased!

Duration ten minutes!

Ding!

The system has detected that a small group harbors hostility towards the host and exceeds their individual ability to counterbalance, triggering automatic system balance.

The host additionally obtains the temporary status “Non-Competitive.” Do you accept?

“Non-Competitive”: Temporary status.

Upon activating this status, the host will gain the Non-Competitive effect, wherein any malice outside the rules during the act of fishing will not have a decisive impact on the host as long as they maintain the demeanor of a modest gentleman!

If the host chooses to confront the malice directly, the Non-Competitive status will automatically become void.

Duration of status: 120 minutes.

Activating the Badge’s active effect was within Yue Feng’s expectations, but what he didn’t anticipate was the additional temporary Non-Competitive status effect triggered by the system’s balance.

From the effect’s description, it appeared to be a defensive status, but that wasn’t the crux.

The key point was that through the system’s response, Yue Feng knew he was being targeted by some unknown small group.

“System, system, what are the consequences if I don’t accept this status?”

“Temporary status is generated to balance the unfairness faced by the host.

If the host is confident in facing the challenge head-on, the temporary status will undergo an unknown change that may impact the final competition results.

All consequences arising from this are the responsibility of the host!”

With just one sentence, Yue Feng received a lot of useful information.

First, according to the system’s judgment, even though Yue Feng was at a disadvantage, it didn’t mean he had no chance of winning!

Secondly, since the system allowed the individual to decide whether to accept the status, it had, in effect, given the host the right to choose.

Given his usual tendencies, high risk naturally corresponded to high rewards, and knowing that Medicinal Wine mixed with Loose Powder had a great effect, Yue Feng felt his odds were pretty good.

He at least stood a fighting chance.

Starting trouble wasn’t Yue Feng’s style, but when trouble set its sights on him, Yue Feng had never been one to back down.

Refuse to accept!

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the temporary status “Struggle.”

“Struggle”: Facing any challenge, one possesses the mindset to overcome anything, with the spirit of ‘though I walk through a valley of a million men, I will go forth!’

Effect: In direct fishing competition, regardless of the level of the Angler, one will not be affected by mindset interference, thereby ensuring the quality of Fishing Skill.

Catch rate +5%.

Ding!

A random task “Light of Righteousness” has been triggered automatically.

“Light of Righteousness”: Everyone faces various choices.

As an honest and kind-hearted Angler, it is commendable to choose to confront unfair threats directly!

Task requirements: Directly confront the malicious targeting and interference in the upcoming competition and achieve final victory.

Task reward: Unknown, subject to comprehensive performance evaluation.

As expected, upon choosing to refuse, Yue Feng triggered a new status and random task.

In the current phase, each task represents a significant reward upon completion.

Seeing the newly activated task, Yue Feng clenched his fists, confident in his gamble!

“Next angler to draw, Yue Feng, please come to the podium for the draw!”

After accepting the task, as the referees called people to draw lots, Yue Feng’s name was announced.

He responded and strode towards the draw box.
