Chapter 530 - 530 517 Passing Through Danger

530: Chapter 517: Passing Through Danger 530: Chapter 517: Passing Through Danger “Is this it?

Is this your official explanation?”

“Unacceptable!

So you’re saying that angling at the edge of the neighboring spot is considered a normal operation and doesn’t break any rules?”

“Anyone with eyes can see that there’s something unfair about this.

Why leave such loopholes in the rules?”

“Exactly, the rules themselves are unfair to the anglers.”

Seeing all sorts of feedback from the viewers in the live broadcast chat, Wang Guofeng also felt like he was in a tough spot.

In fact, as an experienced angler and professional referee, he had been aware of some aspects of the rules, including potential loopholes.

Normally, these things do affect the anglers, but everyone tacitly understood and never openly discussed it.

However, this new form of presenting information through online live broadcasting collided with the existing rule system, inadvertently exposing these contradictions to public scrutiny.

Seeing that the public channel was still overwhelming with comments, Tiantian said, “Everyone, please don’t rush.

Since we’ve invited Teacher Wang here, we will definitely give everyone a response.

Discuss the issues without unfounded speculations or blowing things out of proportion!”

Wang Guofeng: “What Tiantian said is also exactly what I mean!”

“Everyone needs to understand one thing, fishing competitions, especially at a higher competitive level, are very confrontational!”

“To achieve good results, you have to compete against all the opponents!

In this respect, the rules are fair!”

“Some might say that involving team operations, or even at extremes, intentional disturbances, could sniper some anglers’ results, affecting fairness!”

Frankly, are there such cases?

There are!

I have encountered many similar cases during my officiating!

And indeed, some people were affected!”

“But if we look at it objectively and rationally, could this impact be decisive?

I don’t think so!

To become the champion, you need to beat everyone, including the anglers on either side of you!”

“We don’t set any barriers for these so-called teams; within the framework of the rules, you can also target others!

There’s no situation where only they are allowed, and you’re not!”

“You can’t blame the platform just because others have teammates and you don’t.

Isn’t the platform also feeling wronged?”

“From this perspective, the competition is fair!”

“Now, back to the focus of everyone’s doubts!”

From the footage, you could see that Yue Feng was very smart.

He realized that his fishing might be disturbed, so he made his spot as far away as possible.

“At the moment, the impact of the anglers next to him and the impact of two people fishing directly in front of the central spot are essentially the same!

According to the current rules, neither side is breaking any rules!”

“Of course, I will take the issues everyone brought up and actively report them to the officials of the organizers to perfect these rules that could be improved!”

“That’s all for the explanation of this matter for now, I hope everyone continues to monitor our competition!

I’m going to leave now, so as not to waste too much time and affect your enjoyment of the competition!”

After speaking his piece, Wang Guofeng nodded to Tiantian and left!

Overall, this explanation seemed a bit far-fetched, especially awkward when brought up openly.

“But the rules were set this way, and since no one broke them, even as the Head Referee, it’s not possible to change the rules on the fly, that’s just not realistic.”

“As staff members, our primary task is naturally to uphold the authority and orthodox of the organizers, and the second consideration is the underlying logic of the rules.”

“Ha, they brought in an expert to blather on, and the conclusion they reached was that the rules were fine, what a joke!”

“The expert said it, didn’t they?

Others can bring their brothers, and so can you!

From this perspective, it’s fair!

Pure nonsense!

If that’s the case, don’t even call it the Fishing King Cup anymore, just call it a club team competition!”

“A contest that can’t ensure absolute fairness at the level of its rules creates all kinds of exploitable loopholes.

Isn’t that simple logic those so-called leaders can’t think of?

I really don’t know how the Guangwei Fishing King Cup built its prestigious reputation!”

Tiantian saw that the Head Referee had left and knew there was no point in arguing further, so she changed the subject, saying, “Alright, brothers in the live stream!”

“This issue, I guarantee that once this match is over, I will submit it to the relevant leaders!

Let’s not get hung up on this, shall we continue to watch the match?”

“Ha!

The same old ‘report to the leaders’ routine!”

“I don’t know if the rest of you brothers can stand it, but I certainly can’t!

I’ve already screen-recorded the Head Referee’s words, and we’ll take it to the trending section!

Let all the anglers on the net see the true face of this Fishing King Cup!”

“+1 from above, brothers let’s get moving!

Yue Family Army’s million fans, let’s support Brother Feng!

We must get an explanation for this!”

“Let’s get back to the live stream!”

In a live stream room of ninety thousand people, the exit was as fast as the entry, leaving only a little over forty thousand in an instant, quite a few less than normal streaming times.

Wang Guofeng, back at his judging post, started to feel increasingly uneasy.

If Hu Changsheng were to cause more trouble now, the situation could spiral completely out of control.

After a moment of reflection, Wang Guofeng waved to Zhang Weidong, who was also a referee, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang, who had a very good relationship with Teacher Hua and had been instructed by the Head Referee, immediately complied.

Soon, in the live stream camera, Zhang Weidong casually walked up behind Yue Feng, where he simply stood and watched the match.

Yue Feng, fully focused and concentrating all his attention on fishing, did not notice someone standing behind him, but Hu Changsheng, who no longer held hopes for his own results and was solely looking for trouble, spotted the presence of Zhang Weidong.

The contest had entered its final twenty-minute sprint phase; despite Hu’s previous disturbances and adding substances, he hadn’t managed to limit Yue Feng in any substantive way, forcing him to resort to a last-ditch contingency plan.

Inside Hu’s food box was a small clump of bait, which looked unassuming but was wrapped around a colorless, tasteless powder.

This stuff, once thrown in, would quickly clear out the fish in the surrounding meters.

Ever since Hu knew he was next to Yue Feng, he had prepared for the worst case, but out of confidence in his own skills, he had never used it.

If detected, the nature of the act would change significantly.

Now, with the referee standing nearby watching, not even changing locations for a long time, the message was clear: causing more trouble would just invite embarrassment.

In this game of brinkmanship, Hu Changsheng ultimately did not risk his professional future by using his last resort, and Yue Feng was able to complete this round without any disturbances.

“All competitors, please note, there are the last five seconds left before the end of this match.

After hearing the whistle, put down your fishing rods to end the competition!

No fish caught after the competition is allowed for scoring, or else points will be deducted!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

The contest is over!”
