Chapter 538 - 538 525 Using Their Own Way to Counteract Them

538: Chapter 525: Using Their Own Way to Counteract Them 538: Chapter 525: Using Their Own Way to Counteract Them The competition has reached a point where not only a young carp of two to three pounds but even a small fish of a few ounces could affect the final Points ranking.

Yue Feng had been busy catching several fish, but the combined weight barely matched that of a single young carp.

Ming Xiaodong also knew this well, so after getting a bite, he became extra cautious.

He immediately lowered his center of gravity and started to play the fish very delicately.

From the details of his technique, Yue Feng could tell that the fish Xiaodong had hooked was not small.

His eyes shifted, and a plan formed in his mind.

“That fish looks quite big!

Be careful, don’t let it get away!”

While casually reminding the other party to pay attention, Yue Feng twisted a couple of bait balls the size of red dates.

He didn’t rush to cast his line into the water; instead, he held the rod in hand, waiting on the side.

For a Competitive Angler, handling a three to five-pound carp on a 0.4# fishing line wasn’t too difficult.

Ming Xiaodong struck the fish, and the riskiest moment of the fish running away right after the hook set was already passed.

However, he didn’t notice Yue Feng eyeing him predatorily, waiting for the opportunity to act.

Seeing the fish slipping toward him, Yue Feng saw his chance, pulled the main line with his left hand, and flicked his wrist with the right, spinning the rod to cast the line wrapped with two big bait balls into the water.

This cast was powerful and deliberate.

Before letting go of the main line with his left hand, the tip of the rod was bent into an arc.

A whooshing sound was heard as the two bait balls, each the size of a red date, dropped into the water like two little bombs, creating inconspicuous splashes.

Under normal circumstances, such a minor disturbance would be insignificant, but the guy next to him was using fine tackle to play a fish!

Yue Feng knew full well what fine tackle fishing feared the most: shock and disturbance!

Indeed, as soon as the bait hit the water, the previously calm young carp suddenly surged forward, away from him.

A 0.4 line couldn’t possibly control such a large fish by brute force, and following the scare, there was only one result—hook snapped, fish gone.

The hook snapped, and with a swish, the rod that had been bent sprung back up.

Ming Xiaodong had been solely focused on his own fish and hadn’t paid attention to Yue Feng’s subtle interference, thinking he was at fault!

The color drained from his face as his fish escaped, filled with intense regret.

“Oh dear, look what happened!

I told you to be careful.

How could you be so careless?

Your fishing skill is too weak; how could you let it get away?” Yue Feng immediately followed up with trash talk as the fish escaped.

Now, Ming Xiaodong completely lost his cool.

Irritably scratching his head, he said, “You’ve been yapping since the start, what are you yapping for?

Are you happy that the fish got away?

Are you sick?

Idiot!”

Hearing Ming Xiaodong swear, Yue Feng’s goal was achieved.

He immediately raised his hand to the nearby referee.

“What’s the issue?

Why are you raising your hand?” the referee came over and asked.

Yue Feng: “Referee, Ming Xiaodong over there used foul language and insulted me!”

Stunned by Yue Feng’s move, Ming Xiaodong froze.

According to standard competition rules, anglers are not allowed to whisper or insult others during the competition—personal attacks are strictly forbidden!

Normally, during the adjudication process of a competition, it’s common for friends to greet one another and chat quietly as long as it doesn’t affect anyone else.

As long as it’s spoken softly, the referee doesn’t intervene; it’s a kind of unspoken rule where if nobody reports, no action is taken.

But swearing is a different matter.

The rules specifically prohibit insults and profanity.

Once verified, the first offense receives a warning, and the second results in a deduction of Points from the competition ranking.

“Did you curse at him just now?” the referee asked.

Ming Xiaodong: “I…

It was him who spoke to me first!”

Yue Feng: “I saw he hooked a big fish and kindly reminded him to pay attention.

But when he accidentally let the fish escape, he took his anger out on me, cursing me, calling me sick, an idiot!

The drone was live streaming and recording; the viewers heard everything!”

The judge glanced at both of them and pointed at Ming Xiaodong, “Swearing during the competition is a verbal warning this time!

If it happens again, according to the rules, weight will be deducted!

Also, communicating during the competition is not allowed.

Yue Feng, if you do it again, you’ll also receive a warning!”

Yue Feng nodded, “Understood, I definitely won’t talk to him, can’t appreciate a good person’s heart!”

Ming Xiaodong felt extremely aggrieved inside, but he knew now was not the time to argue with the judge.

He nodded, indicating he accepted the punishment.

As soon as the judge left, the corners of Yue Feng’s mouth curled up, adding fuel to the fire.

Ming Xiaodong’s mentality would surely be affected.

Here, the conversation trap seemed to be working wonders, and the Stabbing Toad’s nearby float gave a light tap and paused again before continuing to sink stealthily.

Striking the rod, he hooked another fish!

“Tsk tsk, another one!

That’s a big win!” Yue Feng muttered to himself this time.

Though intended as a mutter, the words struck Ming Xiaodong’s ears like needles.

After much effort on his own side and losing two bites, Yue Feng had already caught his fourth fish.

An individual’s mindset doesn’t just crumble all at once; rather, since the very beginning of the competition, Yue Feng had been creating a slow build-up of irritation for him.

It’s like how trash talk in the NBA can affect one’s free-throw success rate—a similar principle!

Now, with emotions clouding his judgment, Ming Xiaodong was already losing his rationality while fishing.

Before long, Ming Xiaodong had another bite.

Still not playing it safe and keeping his mouth open, he struck the rod to hook another fish.

Unfortunately, this one was even more unlucky; the fish hadn’t even been pulled out of the nest before it broke free like a slingshot at the bottom.

A stream of bubbles suddenly rose from beneath the water’s surface, bringing up a swirl of black mud.

The fish struggled below, causing the nest to become a chaotic mess.

“Damn it, motherf*****!” Unable to hold back, Ming Xiaodong cursed out loud.

“Why are you cursing at people?” Yue Feng seized the opportunity and wouldn’t let it go.

He raised his hand again, reporting Ming Xiaodong for swearing.

This time Ming Xiaodong felt somewhat wronged, but he did indeed swear.

His mentality exploded.

The judge came over again, and upon hearing Yue Feng’s account, he directly issued a penalty, reducing the final score of Ming Xiaodong’s catch by 1 kilogram!

Teacher Hua and Coach Ma, watching from outside the arena, were anxiously tracking the situation around Yue Feng, not understanding why the judge kept coming over, terrified there might be a loophole.

Both highly respected, they still couldn’t go against the official competition rules, and they were frantic.

Having no other recourse, Ma took out his phone and called Tingting to find out what exactly had happened to Yue Feng.

Although Tingting wasn’t there, she had been staying in Yue Feng’s live broadcast room.

Prompted by her father’s question, Tingting replied, “Brother Feng is giving that pock-faced guy some chatting lessons!

The judge went over because that short pumpkin was cursing.

A warning first, then a penalty on the second offense!”

Upon learning this, Teacher Hua and Coach Ma exchanged glances, filled with satisfaction.

Little Yue is something, huh.

Not only is he a skilled angler, but when pushed, he also knows how to use the rules to create trouble for his opponent!
