Chapter 310 - 310 299 Angler's Style

310: Chapter 299: Angler’s Style 310: Chapter 299: Angler’s Style At the reservoir, Yue Feng had caught giant Big Qing fish weighing several dozens of pounds, but their strength was much more manageable than the fish in these flowing natural waters, whose surging power was incredibly fierce.

Twice, Yue Feng almost wanted to let go of the rod and grab the slip knot, but it was his extreme trust in the system-provided rod and line that made him clench his teeth and hold on.

A flash of the Big Qing fish’s head broke the water’s surface before it quickly dove again.

However, it was already at the end of its strength, and after struggling for another round, it was brought to the surface once more.

This time it had no fight left and flipped belly up in surrender.

The utterly subdued fish, especially a large one, no longer had the strength to resist.

Yue Feng calmly scooped the fish into the landing net and lifted it out of the water, preparing to wrap it with a towel to show it to the audience.

Just as the fish was lifted out of the water, the anglers night fishing nearby all gathered around.

“Holy cow!

This one’s huge, at least twenty pounds, right?”

“More than that, look at the length.

It could weigh thirty pounds!”

“This has to be a Big Qing fish washed down from the reservoir; no one has ever heard of anyone catching a Big Qing here in this area!”

“Buddy, are you selling this big fish?

How about selling it to me?

I’ll give you 500 bucks!!” In addition to those marveling at the size of the fish, someone in the crowd even went as far as to make an offer, wanting to buy this big fish.

Yue Feng shook his head without hesitation, “Sorry, guys, I’m not selling this fish!!”

After responding, Yue Feng wrapped a wet towel around the gill and the back of the fish’s neck, then supported the belly with his other hand to show the entire fish to his livestream audience.

“This fish is no small fry, looks to be just over twenty pounds.

We’ve had our fun, so let’s not keep it.

In place of everyone here, I’ll release the fish, and may all the brothers in the livestream share the fortune and prosperity!!”

Having said that, Yue Feng bent over and walked to the water’s edge, releasing the Big Qing fish that had taken so much effort to land back into the water.

The exhausted fish was still for a moment upon entering the water, lying on its side.

Yue Feng didn’t rush to let go and instead used one hand to right the fish and the other hand to swirl the water around its gills.

About a minute later, the fish visibly regained some strength, flicked its tail, and swam straight into the deep water, eventually disappearing into the vast night.

Ding!

Congratulations, you have released a wild Big Qing fish weighing over 20 pounds!

You have earned one B-level lottery chance!

The system notification sounded in Yue Feng’s mind.

Yue Feng casually washed his hands and returned to his seat.

“Alright, the fish is released, let’s continue!!” Yue Feng said nonchalantly.

Most of the livestream audience had seen Yue Feng release big fish before, even sturgeon weighing a hundred pounds, so they weren’t particularly surprised.

However, the fishermen watching the night fishing scene beside him were rather bewildered.

This guy is really something, ignoring a sure 500 bucks and just releasing the fish in front of everyone, without even taking a photo or posing for a picture.

While most felt a sense of regret, in Wang Quan’s eyes, it was a different story.

Wang Quan had been fishing for over ten years and hadn’t been very good at it.

Later, while fishing at the reservoir with friends, he met a master fisherman from out of town.

With the master’s guidance, his fishing skills greatly improved.

That master angler’s approach was similar to Yue Feng’s, rarely taking big fish home and usually just taking a photo before releasing them back into the water.

At first, Wang Quan couldn’t understand it, but after a long time, he came to realize that these master anglers, clearly more skilled than the average person, also had a higher level of awareness and consciousness.

For a time, Wang Quan, who had been holding back and hoping to see Yue Feng embarrass himself live, found himself starting to look favorably on Yue Feng.

“Buddy, you’re something else, willing to let go of such a big fish!” Wang Quan took out a cigarette, striking up a conversation with Yue Feng while offering him one.

Yue Feng shook his head to indicate he didn’t smoke, grinned, and said, “The fish in the Fish Guard is enough to eat; taking more home is pointless!

This fish, growing so big is really not easy, we have already passed the stage where we rely on them to add meat to the pot, if we can let it go, then let it go!”

“You’re the man!” After hearing these words, Wang Quan gave Yue Feng a heartfelt thumbs-up.

Being able to conquer a stranger fisherman with one’s actions and personal charm gave Yue Feng a great sense of achievement.

Just then, the system prompt sounded in his mind again.

Ding!

“Boundless Sky” mission accomplished!

Current mission rating: S+!

Ding!

Considering the host’s high level of enlightenment in successfully dispelling a stranger’s hostility and changing their impression, a new character trait is automatically unlocked!

“Angler’s Style”

“Angler’s Style”: Successfully influencing and conquering a stranger fisherman with your actions and personal charm, you have demonstrated the style of a fishing master.

Trait effect: Every exemplary action you take will have a Subtle Influence on fishermen within a certain range.

The positive changes brought by the influence will permanently create a certain amount of Lottery Points for you.

This new character trait is a tad more advanced than the previously unlocked “Subtle Influence,” and although Yue Feng wasn’t clear about the specifics and the calculation method, the description suggested it was a powerful effect, and he felt even more comfortable.

“Feng bro is badass, the guy next to him was talking big just now, and now he respects you too!”

“Here we see the ‘True Fragrance’ law in action again!

Feng bro’s way of living and handling situations is downright impeccable!”

“Haha, before Feng bro would make you submit by messing up the fish if there was a disagreement, now just by his words and deeds alone, he can make you submit.

Clearly, Feng bro’s level has risen!”

“In the future, if I catch a big fish, I’ll also do like Feng bro and release it!

Only by doing so can the activity of fishing continue in a sustained and stable manner!!”

“I will follow Feng bro’s example too…”

Positive deeds can infect and influence others; led by Yue Feng, many friends in the live stream were affected and quietly planted the seed of protecting fishery resources in their hearts.

“Guys, stop the chatter, it’s time to get to the serious stuff!

Taking this opportunity to tell everyone about how to mend fishing spots!” Yue Feng called out and pulled out a ladle from his rod case.

“If you’re fishing for big fish in wild lakes and reservoirs, after you catch one, you must remember to mend the fishing spot!

Wild big fish tend to thrash about in the nest when caught, causing the bait in the nest to become completely spread out and dispersed, making it hard to maintain any concentration!

In this case, you need to mend the spot a bit more so that it becomes more compact.

Personally, I recommend using this type of wasteful spoon for mending, focusing on pellets and corn.”

…

Listening to Yue Feng explaining the details of how to mend spots in the live broadcast, Wang Quan became even more impressed.

These detailed fishing tips are not something every fisherman would generously share.

Being able to explain so thoroughly in a live broadcast was much better than those so-called experts who are selfish with their knowledge.
