Chapter 345 - 345 334 The True Fragrance Law

345: Chapter 334: The True Fragrance Law 345: Chapter 334: The True Fragrance Law In just a few minutes, the dry bait had completely absorbed water and swelled up, looking in very good condition.

What was even better was yet to come.

Zhao Zheng dumped about half of his wet loose bait into the dry bait, mixing it evenly.

He imitated the way Yue Feng had prepared his fishing spot before, grabbing handfuls of bait and attaching them to the Lead Skin, gently swinging it into his own fishing spot.

During this time, there had been no activity at Yue Feng’s fishing spot, so he glanced over at Zhao Zheng and just happened to see his little maneuver.

To be fair, Zhao Zheng’s basic fishing skills were very good.

For example, Lead Skin loading, which might seem quite simple and could be done by any wild fisherman, but not many could match Zhao Zheng’s accuracy in dropping bait, or his superb control over the force used.

Each cluster of bait balls that hit the water’s surface was well controlled in strength, not causing the loud plops that many others did upon entry.

After continuous Lead Skin loading for seven or eight minutes, a whole basin of bait was gone, and Zhao Zheng simply switched to a 6+4 big-game line setup, with hooks baited with two original-flavor elastic particles, and then he waited.

Indeed, the large particle bait with a softer and more natural appeal proved to be quite tempting to the big fish.

About ten minutes after the surface had calmed down, Zhao Zheng noticed that many fish ripples had appeared on the outskirts of his bait area, showing a clear trend of gathering towards it.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng immediately straightened his back and stared intently at his float, afraid of missing any hint of a bite.

While Zhao Zheng had yet to land a fish, Yue Feng lifted his rod again and hooked another one!

The size was still substantial; once the rod bowed, the fish’s performance in the water was nearly identical to the first one caught earlier, with the entire line and rod buzzing under tension, but always under Yue Feng’s control.

“Damn, is this going to be another catch?” muttered Zhao Zheng.

Yue Feng pointed at Zhao Zheng’s own fishing spot and made a hushing gesture, “Shh!!”

When fishing for big fish, noise and clamor are highly discouraged, which is something that any angler with a bit of experience knows.

But there’s a difference between knowing and doing, and Zhao Zheng couldn’t help himself just now.

After Yue Feng’s reminder, Zhao Zheng immediately fell silent.

After more than ten minutes, the second big fish was smoothly landed by Yue Feng.

It felt similar in size underwater, but when it was pulled out, it was much smaller, weighing only about twelve or thirteen pounds—a very beautiful Carp.

Just as the big Carp was brought in on one side, there was activity on Zhao Zheng’s side too.

The float that had been as stable as Taishan was slightly wobbling and moving, with occasional ripples from fish breaking the surface from below.

The fish had arrived at the bait spot!

The fish may have come, but despite lingering for a long time, they didn’t bite, which frustrated Zhao Zheng a lot.

Logically, the large Carp, Grass Carp, and others stocked there grew up eating pellets, and using elastic particles should be the right approach.

But this time, strangely enough, they just wouldn’t bite.

Zhao Zheng gently lifted the line and changed the bait from the elastic particles to the same dry Ragworm he had used for his bait spot.

After throwing it in and waiting for a long time, there was still no bite.

Just when Zhao Zheng was at his wit’s end, he heard the sound of an empty bottle being blown over behind him.

Glancing back, he saw it was the wide-mouth plastic bottle Yue Feng had used for goat droppings.

More than a dozen goat droppings were left on the cap, and the empty bottle itself was tossed aside.

“The bait of the guy next to me seems to be just right.

The Fish Guard would definitely not allow it, but how about trying to bend the rules a bit?” Zhao Zheng quickly made up his mind.

“Bro, do you still need this empty container?

I’m missing an empty bottle to store some elastic particles and beans!” Zhao Zheng shamelessly asked Yue Feng.

If it had been Chen Chen next to him, Yue Feng would have definitely refused without hesitation, but he had a fairly good impression of Zhao Zheng, so he casually nodded, “I don’t need it anymore, you go ahead!”

Yue Feng was well aware of Zhao Zheng’s little schemes.

There was almost no liquid left in the bottle, but surely some of the effective substance would remain on the inner walls.

As long as the Fish Guard didn’t care, this minor detail didn’t bother Yue Feng.

With permission granted, Zhao Zheng took the empty bottle, pretended to pour the lead skin beans into the empty bottle, then added just a tiny bit of water to moisten them, covered the mouth of the bottle with his hand, and gave it a good shake!

Soon, the scent from the bottle clung to the lead skin beans, and Zhao Zheng picked out two, rehooked them, and cast his line.

Oddly enough, just by moistening them slightly and stirring them in the bottle for a bit, the lead skin beans had just reached the bottom when “plop” – they got a crisp big black float.

It was swallowed in one gulp.

Zhao Zheng used a heavier line set, so he didn’t fuss.

He lifted the rod to hook the fish – off you go!

Whoosh!

Whizz, whizz, whizz!

A sound that made teeth sour and hearts race immediately began to howl.

Any experienced angler could tell, even without looking up, that a big one had been hooked.

The 5.4-meter rod turned into a huge bending bow as the big fish underwater kept darting back and forth, making escape attempts.

It shot out four or five times but was violently pulled back by Zhao Zheng each time.

In less than five minutes, Zhao Zheng had landed the big fish—a grass carp weighing about fourteen or fifteen pounds, hooked right at twelve o’clock on the dot!

“This thing is badass!” Zhao Zheng muttered, carefully placing the fish into the Fish Guard.

Before Zhao Zheng had even sat back down, Yue Feng had lifted his rod again, hooking another fish!

In the following time, Yue Feng and Zhao Zheng seemed to have an agreement; you catch one, then I catch one.

In less than an hour, they had pulled up five or six big fish, each weighing around ten pounds.

This completely frustrated Chen Chen, who was right in the middle of it all.

Despite having prepared his spot thoroughly, he hadn’t gotten a single bite, while the two guys next to him seemed to have made a pact, continuously hooking fish and all of them big ones!

“Damn, is Feng bro going for a spree of big catches?”

“The effect of ‘sheep dung beans’ is really amazing.

Just now, that guy next to me rolled the lead skin beans in an empty bottle, and the fish started biting like crazy!”

“Feng bro is really easy-going.

This is a competition after all.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t give away that empty can to someone next to me!”

“The guy upstairs got it half right.

If it had been that stone-faced guy next to him asking, Feng bro definitely wouldn’t have handed it over!

A competition is a competition, but giving away an empty can is just skirting the rules.

Feng bro’s interactions with others are still quite on point!”

“I guess that guy is also going to be conquered by Feng bro’s ‘sheep dung beans’.

That thing is exceptionally effective.

It really does attract the fish!”

As if confirming the viewers’ speculation, after holding out for a while, Chen Chen couldn’t resist any longer.

He glanced at the Fish Guard – not behind him – and then turned his head to whisper to Yue Feng, “Hey, bro!

Can you give me a couple of those ‘sheep dung beans’ you’re using to try out?”
