281: Chapter 280: Four Types of Competition (Part 10) 281: Chapter 280: Four Types of Competition (Part 10) In the following minute, Yue Feng didn’t cast his line; instead, he stared at the water before his angling spot, his mind racing as he sought a solution to the problem.

Just then a breeze carried over a small strip that seemed to be part of the packaging torn when bait was opened, landing on the water surface not far from Yue Feng’s feet.

Yue Feng glanced at the strip almost instinctively and then, a thought struck him, he had it!

The spot in front had been ruined, but he could try fishing closer in!

With a 4.5-meter fishing rod plus the length of the rod line, minus the 1.6-meter depth of water, there was still almost seven and a half meters left.

No matter how devastating the opponent’s sabotage, they surely hadn’t covered every single area in front of the angling spot, right?

Thinking this, Yue Feng baited one hook with ragworm and the other with Loose Powder, casting the double hooks not too far from where he stood!

Long ago, when Yue Feng just started live-streaming, he used the Stabbing Toad method in Black Pit angling contests, and now with the fish not biting well, he resorted to this old trick once more.

Unlike the previous spot, the location where Yue Feng Stabbing Toaded was at most two to three meters away from where he stood, intentionally close to the direction of the angling spot on the left, doing his utmost to avoid the contaminated area caused by the sabotaged spot.

The moment the double hooks hit the water for the first time, the float signaled a very nice bite.

The corner spot in the large pool was known for being a likely hiding spot for fish, and after being driven away by the pollutant, the density of fish in the corner was unusually high.

With a flick of his wrist, he set the hook—right on target!

Having caught this fish, Yue Feng finally took a breath of relief.

Although he had been getting continuous bites for a while, the time was too short to collect minor points realistically.

But now, with the Stabbing Toad method working close in, there was hope for a good score later on.

Netting the fish, unhitching the hook, and placing it in the keepnet happened in one smooth motion.

Yue Feng instinctively looked at the hook’s entry point—right in the middle at twelve o’clock, no problem!

Having found a solution, Yue Feng firmly memorized the float drop point where he had the bite, and to restore the previous density of the spot, he furiously swung the rod with the float and double-hooked Scattering Bombs, casting crazily over and over.

After more than ten casts with Double-hooked Scattering Bombs, the long-missed signs of fish returned.

“Huh?

Did Feng bro change his angling method?”

“It seems he really did, he completely gave up on that previous spot, cast more than ten times near the left boundary without a catch, and now he seems to be using Stabbing Toad, there are many fish signals, and he caught another one!”

“Can some big bro explain what’s going on?

Why would he give up on a perfectly good spot?”

“Does everyone remember what happened a while ago?

That angler standing up and casting a double-hooked big bait in Feng bro’s direction?

Could this guy have sabotaged Feng bro’s spot with that move?”

“You know what, these things really do happen in competitive angling!”

Mystery Person: “If I saw correctly, the guess from the brother above could be possible!

Now Feng bro’s new spot is maximally avoiding the area of the previous spot!”

“Damn!

That bastard plays dirty, does anyone from Feng bro’s city know this guy by his side, let’s dox this bastard!!”

“Feng bro started catching fish again, there’s still a chance!

Be as upset as you want, but don’t stir things up, guys.

Let’s wait until the competition is over to talk about it, be a little rational!!”

“Rationality +1, I’m from W city, I’ll just snap a clear shot of his face when we’re counting the fish, this guy can’t get away.

Dare to play dirty, we’ll settle the score after autumn!”

The live-streaming audience could infer certain clues from Yue Feng’s behavior and were worried about him, but Yue Feng had already immersed himself back into the rhythm of connecting rods with fishing.

Stabbing toad differs significantly from normal fishing because the fishing line cannot be fully stretched out in the water, as you fish closer.

The angler has to hold the rod up constantly, maintaining a certain angle to keep the line as taut as possible.

Besides the difference in the state of the main line, the technique and strength required for lifting the rod to stab the fish are also more demanding.

If it’s too heavy, the hook can easily come off and the line can get tangled; if it’s too light, it’s hard to exert force.

The method of ‘Stabbing toad’ is definitely a way of fishing that greatly tests an angler’s basic skills.

Fortunately, Yue Feng’s casting skills had reached a master level, and the landing points of his bait were nearly identical each time.

In such circumstances, the feeling of lifting the rod to stab the fish easily turned into muscle memory.

The first few casts were a bit unfamiliar, but as he gradually became adept, his movements became increasingly smooth.

From the beginning to the end, Meng Chuan was closely watching every move Yue Feng made.

Seeing Yue Feng cast many times without catching a fish, Meng Chuan thought he had the two hundred yuan red packet in the bag, but after a short while, Yue Feng started catching fish with the ‘Stabbing toad’ technique again, leaving Meng Chuan feeling like a cooked duck had flown away.

At this point, some might ask, “What’s this about two hundred red packets?

Who is so bored to pay to make others uncomfortable?

Isn’t that just self-defeating?”

Harming others is definitely an issue, but it’s not really self-defeating; the red packets were put up by the person who might profit.

In Wang Xiaoli’s circle, Wang Zhen also scored a mixed one-point in the first round, and since fishing for small crucian carp was Wang Zhen’s specialty, a few people had quickly come to an agreement before the second round started, and he readily agreed to pay up.

Seeing the little Red Bull that was almost secure in his pocket flying away, Meng Chuan started thinking rapidly.

They had personally tested the effectiveness of the tiny pills; its effective range was about three meters.

Yue Feng was currently using ‘Stabbing toad,’ so Meng Chuan could do the same.

He still had two spare ones in his pocket, and now that a slight breeze had picked up, it provided Meng Chuan with an excuse for his casts to be unstable.

Just a slight risk and deviation could endanger the other’s nest.

If he remained silent at this point, the impact would at least be significant.

There were about thirty minutes left in the competition, and if he could completely disrupt Yue Feng’s rhythm, there might still be a chance for Wang Zhen to advance.

With this in mind, Meng Chuan started fiddling with the soft and sticky ragworm in front of him, his gaze constantly hovering over the area in front of Yue Feng, ready to seize the moment and run with it.

Yue Feng suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

His casting hand didn’t stop, but he turned his head to glance at Meng Chuan sitting beside him.

The look from Yue Feng made Meng Chuan panic a bit, for Yue Feng’s gaze was too fierce, slightly narrowed, sharp and penetrating.

This was Yue Feng’s final warning, any more tricks, and things would escalate!

If Meng Chuan had stopped right then, there might not have been any further issues, but the temptation of the two red packets was too much for Meng Chuan, and he reached into his pocket for the pill, attempting the same trick anew.

At that moment, Yue Feng had an idea, and the drone abruptly changed direction, stealthily flying to a spot about two meters above and directly between Yue Feng and Meng Chuan.

After adjusting its position, it was now possible to capture the evidence.

The camera clearly recorded Meng Chuan adding the pill from his palm to his ragworm and then swinging it in Yue Feng’s direction.

Yue Feng, who had been on high alert for abnormal behavior from the opponent, was able to see the detailed movements through the camera.

Just at the critical moment, he turned his head.
