Chapter 410 - 410 399 Something's not right

410: Chapter 399 Something’s not right 410: Chapter 399 Something’s not right The others said Yue Feng could choose first, but if it were Zhao Zheng, known for his thick skin, he would have definitely plopped himself down at the oxygenator or along the big edges.

However, Yue Feng was all about going with the flow when selecting his fishing spot.

His truest thought was actually that he was too lazy to move,

“Interesting!” Han Luofeng’s lips curled up as he carried his fishing box and sat to the right of Yue Feng.

Minutes later, both had finished their preparations.

Instructor Yang set the alarm and gave the order to start!

The moment the start command was issued, Yue Feng and Han Luofeng almost simultaneously pinched two large triangulated “Double-hooked Scattering Bombs” and cast them into the water, as if mirrored.

Han Luofeng’s casting was incredibly solid.

The point where his bait landed almost exactly matched the area the float flipped, and with each cast, it was on target!

Just this detail alone put him leagues ahead of ordinary students like Duan Peng.

He made his baiting very concentrated, creating a misty column from the surface of the water to the bottom due to the “Loose Bait” he deployed.

In the first five minutes, neither was eager to start reeling in the fish but instead quickly cast their rods to bait their spots.

The bait box brimming with “Loose Bait” was swiftly emptied.

Though neither was in a rush to hook fish, Yue Feng already felt immense pressure from Han Luofeng.

The guy was too steady and posed the greatest challenge Yue Feng had faced since he started fishing.

After five minutes of baiting, the floats started indicating bites in the higher layers of water, signaling an end to their mirrored casting.

The first difference in strategy led to a change in their fishing techniques.

Yue Feng lowered his float, using a “Double-hooked Scattering Bombs” technique on one hook and “Lure” on the other to attract fish while fishing.

Meanwhile, Han Luofeng wasn’t in a hurry to start reeling in fish.

He refilled his bait box with “Loose Bait” from his “Bait Opening Bowl” and continued to cast with both hooks baited, determined to draw the fish up to the surface.

Yue Feng’s method quickly yielded results.

Adding a hefty dose of “Musk,” he attracted the fish rapidly.

Yue Feng estimated the depth of the fish to be roughly between eighty centimeters and one meter, judging from the biting indicators on the fish

Perhaps the other wasn’t satisfied with this depth, but Yue Feng felt it was enough!

With bait allowed, the fish were much more active than in the morning.

Soon, he was catching fish with most casts, and the fish were biting frequently.

Seeing a quicker response than anticipated, Yue Feng made an unexpected move.

He poured the “Loose Bait” from the bait box back into the “Bait Opening Bowl” and then opened his “Fishing Box” to grab a handful of dry, light bran to sprinkle into the “Loose Bait.”

The “Loose Powder Bait,” which was already not very dense, became even less so after the bran was added, resulting in the bait dispersing almost instantly upon entering the water and completely disintegrating by the mid-water level.

After adjusting the bait, Yue Feng changed from using “Loose Bait” on one hook and “Lure” on the other to using “Lure” on both hooks, setting the “Loose Bait” just above the hook.

While it seemed like a minor adjustment, the difference during actual fishing was huge.

The adjusted “Loose Bait” wouldn’t interfere with the fish taking the bait, and by the time the float flipped, the “Double-hooked Scattering Bombs” had almost entirely disintegrated.

The “Loose Powder Bait” attracted the fish, while the “Lure” caught them, efficiently managing both tasks.

Both anglers fished side by side.

Han Luofeng noticed Yue Feng’s bait adjustments but only glanced over with the corner of his eye, without making any changes himself.

However, not even half a minute after Yue Feng’s strategic adjustment, he started to catch two fish with each cast!

That was when Han Luofeng couldn’t hold back anymore!

The reason Han Luofeng was intently baiting was that he was very confident in his casting frequency and the volume of bait he was using.

He was sure that within fifteen minutes, he could bring the fish up to the surface.

Then he planned to start “Floating Fishing,” aiming to catch fish at water level with maximum speed.

However, next door, Yue Feng’s fishing conditions developed beyond Han Luofeng’s expectations.

In just seven or eight minutes after the start, Yue Feng had already begun high-position fishing with double tails, and he was also using double-hooked lures with Loose Powder, not falling far behind in casting frequency.

Roughly for every four casts Han Luofeng made, Yue Feng could cast about three times.

Considering the speed of attracting fish, by the time Han got the fish to float up, the fish around Yue Feng’s area would also have nearly gathered.

The fish caught early on and placed in the Fish Guard were like free gains.

This can’t go on, or defeat is certain!

Han Luofeng, being a top angler, sensed something was off and immediately adjusted his strategy, also starting to catch fish using double-hooked lures with Loose Powder.

The difference with Yue Feng was that Han Luofeng did not adjust the water ratio of the Loose Powder; instead, he achieved the same effect Yue Feng obtained by lowering the water ratio through his adept baiting skills.

While baiting, Han would grab a large amount of bait, but when hooking, he would only use the tips of his fingers to exert a tiny bit of force, controlling the Loose Bait to explode upon entering the water, yet not so tightly as to affect its misting condition.

After the adjustment, Han Luofeng quickly began to land fish as well.

But after fishing a few rods, he felt something was amiss.

Damn it, why do I use more bait than the other guy, but the fish in my spot don’t seem to be any more plentiful?

As mentioned before, fish aren’t exactly clever high-level animals; all their behaviors are guided by the instinct to survive.

If there is food in the spot, they will come to eat!

In theory, with a faster fish activity, using more bait should bring in more fish, but this iron rule didn’t quite apply to Yue Feng’s case.

The base flavors used by both men were similar, but Yue Feng’s bait included his unique Musk Herbal Wine, greatly enhancing the effect of attracting and gathering fish.

If there were two underwater cameras in their fishing spots capturing real-time footage, one would find that the stored fish in both spots were almost even in weight, yet the fish in Yue Feng’s spot were noticeably more excited and active.

Continuing to cast his rod with a hint of confusion, Han Luofeng gradually got a handle on the fish’s biting patterns and started to steadily catch fish.

The competition entered a deadlock, basically maintaining a state where one of us catches one or two fish with a rod, and then the other continues to catch one or two fish with another rod.

To outsiders, the match seemed evenly matched, but Yue Feng knew very well that Han Luofeng was down by 11 fish compared to himself; if the fishing conditions didn’t change drastically, he would surely lose this round!

Both were top anglers; if Yue Feng could sense it, how could Han Luofeng not have any idea?

Despite his calm and steady fishing, as if he weren’t missing a single drop, inside he was feeling a bit anxious.

He glanced at his electronic watch on his wrist; more than half of the one-hour timeframe had already passed, yet he was still behind by at least ten fish.

If he let this situation continue until the end of the allotted time, he would lose the match.

What to do?

What to do?

Han Luofeng’s mind raced!

From start to finish, Han Luofeng had made no errors in operation.

To increase his rate of catching fish from this aspect was sure to be difficult, so from where should he consider?

It didn’t take long for him to come up with a solution.

He rose from his fishing spot, and from his Fishing Box, he took out a bottle of white powder-like medicine.

Gritting his teeth, he opened the lid and spread a thick layer into the Bait Opening Bowl.
