Chapter 518 - 518 505 Some Rejoice Some Lament

518: Chapter 505: Some Rejoice, Some Lament 518: Chapter 505: Some Rejoice, Some Lament Some time had passed, and the results tallied by the staff turned out to exactly match Yue Feng’s own silent count: 188.

An exceptionally advantageous score within the slow pond group.

After recording his score for the third round, Yue Feng signed his name at the bottom of the form and then glanced at Leng Xiaojun’s score next to his.

107.

Leng Xiaojun was behind Yue Feng by 81 fish.

A quick look showed that at least seven or eight people had scores over 120; Leng Xiaojun’s score was almost certainly not going to earn any minor points.

After bidding goodbye to the child, Yue Feng, carrying his gear, left slow pond number two and entered the waiting area to prepare for the fourth round of the competition today.

“Here, your fans in the live stream have been looking for you!” the child handed his phone to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “I’m fat here!

Let me update everyone on the third round’s catch: 188 fish.

Took a look at the incomplete leaderboard and am currently first.

If nothing goes wrong, I should have the minor points, overall performance is not too shabby!”

“Feng’s performance last round was not just good, it was freaking awesome!”

“Without comparison, there’d be no hurt feelings.

Leng Xiaojun is traumatized sitting next to you!

Full of flaws and he even tangled the main line!”

“Feng, can you share with the brothers how you managed that Full Flying Lead pinpoint casting?

It’s a killer move in competitive fishing!”

“Just went around Zhou Ziqing’s live broadcast for a bit, and he was competing in pit four’s slow mixed pond on the third round—it seemed like the fishing got a lot slower in the second half.

Plus, he was using this really weird looking float.

You’re up in pit four next, so you’d best take the chance now to check with Zhou for some intel!”

Yue Feng didn’t pay much attention to the public channel filled with comments about his great skills and strong techniques, but when he saw a reminder about the conditions in pit four, he became alert.

Yue Feng: “Right, after three rounds, the only pit left is number four.

I’ll see if Zhou’s come out yet and ask him for some information!”

While talking, Yue Feng scanned the waiting area just outside the competition field and spotted Zhou Ziqing, laden with bags, heading out.

At this stage, time was precious, and there was no need for Yue Feng to be polite.

He walked up to meet him.

“Yo, Yue, you’re out early.

How did the afternoon round go?”

Yue Feng: “Came specifically to find you!

I played in pit two for the third round, using Full Flying Lead at the stroke interfacing.

Fish were starting to be off the bottom!

The result was quite good, should score minor points!

How about you, how was this round?

I heard from fans in the live stream your fishing slowed down in the latter half, so I came specially to inquire!

It helps being well-informed!”

Zhou Ziqing: “At the start of fishing, there was some activity off the bottom, but as I pressured with wet bait during the second half, the fish went down pretty much!

Slippery fish, you know, it’s not stable to hook them in the stroke, fishing on the bottom will give you a much higher success rate!

The bites were slow, but the selection was relatively easy.

However…”

“However what?” Yue Feng, seeing Zhou Ziqing gasping, pressed for an answer.

Zhou Ziqing glanced left and right with his eyes and whispered into his ear, “The bites were extremely slow in the second half, and the fish were at a distance.

I recommend you use a leadless self-standing Dragging Float!

After I switched to it in the second half, I got several bites in a row, caught at least five or six more fish!!”

Yue Feng also had one of those leadless self-standing Dragging Floats in his Float Box, but he rarely needed to use it.

This type of float’s stem made up over ninety percent of its entire length, with a short body that requires almost no lead, and only three eyes on the tail.

No wonder the fans in the live broadcast thought this float was strange; there really weren’t many who knew about this type of float.

This float is made for reaching the farthest distance, directly sinking the lead to the bottom, and opening the lead skin seat’s space beans.

After casting, the main line slopes outwards, at least half a meter farther than normal trolling.

If it’s a 5.4-meter rod, then the length gets even longer!

Yue Feng nodded, “Alright, I got it.

If the fish aren’t biting well, I’ll switch to it!”

“By the way, the Musk Wine you gave me works very well.

When fishing for mixed breeds, adding a little more seems to get a better bite.

So far for the three rounds, I think I’ve only scored minor points!

I found an acquaintance, and he agreed to get me a provisional ranking of the first day’s scores tonight.

When I get it, I’ll send you a photo on WeChat!”

Yue Feng nodded again, “Alright!”

After a brief exchange about the fish activity, Zhao Zheng also came over, but he looked upset.

“What happened?

Did you screw up?” Yue Feng asked.

Zhao Zheng irritably rubbed his cheeks, “Damn, I ran into one of those Tianyuan guys, that tall and strong fellow who looks like a gorilla, he had me ride a motorcycle, and it completely stalled out!

I didn’t fish well, I’d be lucky to get ten points or less!”

“Mu Lin?” Yue Feng slightly furrowed his brows.

“Seems like that’s his name!

The one I almost hit with a wine bottle at the banquet!

That guy’s arms are really long, he just stretches one arm across the fishing box, bends over, and reaches out forward, at least thirty to forty centimeters longer than mine!”

Zhao Zheng, worried that Yue Feng wouldn’t grasp what he meant, placed his fishing box on the ground and then mimicked the classic posture of sideways riding a motorcycle with a bent arm stretched out long.

And truth be told, the term “riding a motorcycle” was quite apt.

Yue Feng couldn’t help but laugh at Zhao Zheng’s gesture, “You’re at pit four for the final round too, right?

I just asked big brother Zhou Ziqing, and you still need to reach out far!

The fish are further away!”

Zhao Zheng spread his hands, “The last round was a bust, and struggling now won’t make much of a difference.

I’ll just fish casually, bring in some results if I can, and if not, so be it.

Asking me to ride a motorcycle for an entire round, I just can’t do it!”

Objectively, what Zhao Zheng said made sense.

If one round scored outside of ten points, the overall score would pretty much say goodbye to the top rankings.

The later the fishing, the tougher the conditions for the fish.

Tomorrow’s second round of four matches would be even more so.

It required high comprehensive fishing skill from the anglers.

However, Yue Feng shook his head, advising, “Since we’ve come this far, no matter if the single round scores are good or bad, as long as there’s a theoretical chance, there can be no slacking!

Here, use my dragging float for the next round—I’ll ask big brother Zhou for another one!”

Having said that, Yue Feng opened the float box and handed his dragging float to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng, upon hearing what Yue Feng advised, regained some fighting spirit which he had previously given up on.

“Fine, I’ll persist for a few more rounds!

Time for Bait Opening, we’re about to draw lot numbers to enter the competition area!”

Yue Feng gave his float to Zhao Zheng, then found Zhou Ziqing, who was preparing, and borrowed his Floating Lead.

He finished preparing today’s last slow fish mixed bait and waited for the lot draw to begin.

While some were happy, others were worried.

Zhao Zheng’s mood swings were just a microcosm of the emotions of the majority of the two hundred anglers competing.

Leng Xiaojun failed in his last round, Zhao Zheng failed, and even Han Luofeng scored very poorly in the third round.

The pre-competition favorites, very few were left unscathed; this was the brutality of the Fishing King Cup.

One mistake and you could lose everything.

The last round of the competition draw quickly began, and Yue Feng was the first to be called to the stage, randomly picking a seat number.
