Chapter 409 - 409 398 The Master of Bobber Harvesting

409: Chapter 398: The Master of Bobber Harvesting 409: Chapter 398: The Master of Bobber Harvesting Han Luofeng had indeed come to challenge Yue Feng on behalf of his team members, but he hadn’t expected Yue Feng to be so proactive about it.

Under normal circumstances, people who come to the Hua School training camp to learn fishing are generally not at a very high level.

Being the official captain of the club and one of the top anglers in the country, Han Luofeng thought he would be treated with more courtesy, especially since there was a clear difference in status between them within the circle.

However, from Yue Feng, Han Luofeng did not sense any respect; it seemed that in Yue Feng’s eyes, he was no different than anyone else.

This feeling irked the naturally proud Han Luofeng.

Han Luofeng asked, “How do you want to play?”

Yue Feng replied calmly, “Any way is fine, I don’t mind!”

Hearing Yue Feng say he didn’t mind, Han Luofeng’s mood soured even more.

It was as if he wasn’t being taken seriously at all.

Even last year’s newly crowned Fishing King wouldn’t dare to speak with such arrogance when challenging Han Luofeng, yet Yue Feng had just done so, and with such righteousness.

Han Luofeng suggested, “I heard about how you were fishing with Xiao Hai and the others this morning.

Joining them doesn’t pose a threat to you.

How about we play one-on-one, just the two of us for a few rounds?”

Upon hearing Han Luofeng’s suggestion of a one-on-one match, everyone present, including Instructor Yang, was shocked.

This was getting serious!

As the most outstanding participant of the thirtieth session, Yue Feng was being challenged by the captain of the Hua Club team.

Even Zhao Zheng was feeling a bit uncertain, although he obviously sided with his brother.

“Sounds good!

What’s the stake?” Yue Feng hesitated for just half a second before agreeing.

No wonder Yue Feng agreed so quickly.

Just as Han Luofeng arrived with his gear, a system notification sounded, triggering a new challenge task!

Challenge Task [Battle of Honor Between Captain and Class Leader]

Task Description: Accept the challenge from Han Luofeng, captain of the Hua Club team, and win the fishing match.

Task Reward: A random reward based on performance.

Task Failure Penalty: Random destruction of one piece of owned fishing equipment (excluding direct broadcasting equipment).

Yue Feng had a Challenge Card he had won from an early draw, but it had only been passively activated five times and had not triggered any challenge tasks for a long time.

Having never met Han Luofeng before, it was unexpected for the system to activate the task on its own.

Thinking back to the generous rewards from previous wins, how could Yue Feng not be tempted?

The main reason Yue Feng accepted the task so readily was not only the substantial rewards, but also the penalty for failure.

At this stage, Yue Feng was no longer short of money, at least not the basic amount needed to establish himself.

Failure meant only the random destruction of a piece of fishing equipment.

Even if it was a valuable large item, Yue Feng had the means to buy a new one using Points in the store, a risk he was fully capable of taking.

“Let’s bet on each other’s personal fishing floats!

One per round,” Han Luofeng proposed.

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was intrigued.

His own float was system-issued, and there had been a notification when he received it that it was not allowed for circulation.

He wondered if losing it in the fishing match would count as normal circulation.

System, system, is it allowed if the float is lost to the opponent?

“If the host loses in the challenge, the floating fishing gear used as the bet will automatically become damaged and lose some of its performance!

Moreover, this feature won’t be counted in the penalties for failing the challenge!”

Upon hearing this response, Yue Feng felt slightly annoyed, thinking that agreeing was like losing two pieces of equipment—it was quite annoying.

“Fine!

Let’s do as you said!” Yue Feng gritted his teeth and agreed!

“Hmph, your class leader is going to be unlucky!

You guys didn’t even ask what our team leader is nicknamed; called the ‘Floating Fishing Gear Reaper’, he isn’t famed for nothing!

The number of experts who have lost their floating fishing gear to our team leader is countless, and in recent years he has won so many that they fill up half a shelf of foam boards!” Hearing Yue Feng’s straightforward agreement, Duan Peng relaxed even more, quietly muttering to Zhao Zheng beside him.

Zhao Zheng curled his lips, speaking a bit resentfully, “My brother’s family business is big; we won’t miss this little thing!

Besides, it’s not yet decided who will lose.

Just don’t get reaped in return!”

…

After settling the betting stakes, it was time for the fishing competition.

Yue Feng and Han Luofeng arranged the first round for catching a specific type of fish, which was the same minor carp tail number competition they had previously held with Duan Peng and his team.

As for the rules of the competition, they followed those of the current freshwater Taiwan Fishing competitions: one hour per game, minor carp tail numbers, allowing any regular bait except for live or toxic harmful baits, including Loose Powder.

Actually, most formal Taiwan Fishing competitions also allow Loose Powder.

Why was it not allowed in the previous competitions?

Mainly because Loose Powder involves a larger amount of bait per casting.

If Loose Powder were allowed in the short 40-minute competitions, they would need to change locations after each game to avoid affecting subsequent games.

Now that Yue Feng faced Han Luofeng one-on-one, such restrictions were naturally lifted.

Having settled all the details of the fishing competition, Yue Feng and Han Luofeng started their preparations individually.

Since Loose Powder was allowed, it obviously needed to be prepared.

Although the fish activity was slightly slower in the afternoon than in the morning, the difference wasn’t as big as expected, so Yue Feng adjusted his fishing strategy.

He prepared the largest set of the three-in-one Bait Opening basins, making a whole basin of Loose Bait based on the original pond feed particle powder and adding a portion of Super Attraction, along with a large quantity of light bran.

Once the Loose Bait was prepared, it was almost gray-white in color, and anyone knowledgeable could tell at a glance that Yue Feng was going to engage in Floating Fishing.

Indeed, Yue Feng was prepared for Floating Fishing.

With an extra twenty minutes added to the fishing time and Loose Powder allowed, Floating Fishing was indeed the best choice.

Besides preparing for Floating Fishing, Yue Feng’s use of additives was also quite informative—averaging more than double the dose of the medicine from the morning batch in one basin of Loose Bait, and after it was prepared, you could smell the strong scent of the medicine from two meters away.

In contrast, Yue Feng’s Hand Food was much simpler: the basic flavor had no additives, only including 1.5 times the normal dose of Musk Herbal Wine, which also counted as another strategy of intense lure for light fishing.

Both men prepared separately, but once they sat together, the crowd realized their fishing strategies were almost identical, truly a case of great minds thinking alike.

“I won’t take advantage of you.

Are you ready?

You pick the fishing spot first, and I’ll just sit next to you!” Han Luofeng said, glancing at Yue Feng’s Loose Powder and bait.

“That’s great!

I won’t be polite then!” Yue Feng positioned his Fishing Box, and plopped down on the very spot where he had casually placed his Fishing Box.

Seeing Yue Feng’s reaction, everyone was a bit stunned.

What’s this?

Was that considered choosing a fishing spot?
