Chapter 549 - 549 536 Discussing the Plan

549: Chapter 536 Discussing the Plan 549: Chapter 536 Discussing the Plan “The areas where the creature was sighted before are not far from our camp, I feel we can try to find a rough location to test!

Can this equipment be reused, or is it one-time only?”

Yue Feng had read the instructions in advance and explained, “It can be reused, but we need to replace the quick-inflation cartridges, of which I’ve brought eight, so we can use it an additional two times!”

“That’s good!

What bait do you think is appropriate?

I’ll have someone prepare it.

Common chickens, ducks, or beef, mutton, offal, we can get all that!”

Yue Feng thought for a moment and shook his head, “If there’s a big fish underwater, then I think the best bait would be medium-to-small fish from the lake!

Isn’t there a saying, ‘big fish eat little fish’?

Naturally, there wouldn’t be so many chickens, ducks, or cows and sheep for whatever is underwater to eat!

I’ll handle this, it shouldn’t be hard to catch some bait fish with a lure rod!”

“You’re right!

As expected of a professional, you take care of the bait!

Let’s aim to set up the fishing device today!”

Yue Feng shook his head again, “I think it’s too late for today!

It’s almost three o’clock now, by the time we finish it will be past four or five, and it gets dark here at half-past eight; we won’t have observing conditions at night!

If we happened to catch a big one, struggling with it all night could easily cause problems.

We only have one set of equipment, and if it gets damaged, we’d have to order a new one from abroad.

We cannot afford that risk!”

“Then let’s do as you say!

The rest of us, with nothing else to do, will continue to observe from the observation points!

And someone will separately stay at the Fish Viewing Pavilion, where the height offers a clearer view!

Report back immediately if there’s any situation!”

“Ok!”

After Professor Zhang arranged the tasks, everyone dispersed again.

Meanwhile, Yue Feng, shouldering his lure rod and carrying a small bait storage waist pack, continued to fish for bait along the shore of the lake!

Having had the experience of fishing for river cod before, he performed even better along the shore.

In less than an hour and a half, he caught three river cod, the largest weighing five and a half pounds, and the smallest more than three pounds, still not breaking the record set by the weight of the cod Yue Feng first brought back to eat.

Seeing Yue Feng effortlessly bring back several sizable fish, Professor Zhang grew even more admiring!

True professionalism!

They had camped here and tried to fish using traditional bottom fishing hooks, but most of the time caught only small miscellaneous fish.

They had caught delicious river cod only once!

In comparison, Yue Feng’s efficiency was simply incredible.

After bringing back the fish, Yue Feng’s task for the day was completed.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Yue Feng went to the kitchen to find tools, slaughtered the biggest fish, cleaned and processed it, then sliced it into uniformly thick pieces.

By the time it was nearly evening, he boiled the pickled vegetables he brought, poured hot oil over the fish slices, and the child next door started bawling from craving.

Once the fish was dealt with, Yue Feng suddenly remembered, he had promised his fans to upload a short video.

He washed his hands and checked his account.

He then discovered that the ‘poke to ask for updates’ counter on his account page had already reached more than two hundred thousand!

Every person can only poke once, which means at least two hundred thousand people were paying attention to this matter, eagerly waiting for the follow-up.

Yue Feng hurriedly edited the day’s video footage and uploaded it as quickly as possible with a catchy title.

“Mysterious Giant Shadow Spotted in Kanas Lake Monster Hunt!”

The Kanas Lake monster had already been a hotly discussed legend for many years, and now, with the warm-up from today’s livestream, everyone was even more eager.

A short video awaited by hundreds of thousands was treated luxuriously once it was uploaded.

Minutes after the upload, Yue Feng’s own fans pushed it to the regional hot list.

Then it reached the wider region’s hot list, the second level traffic pool for the fishing tag category, the first level traffic pool, and by dinner time, it had been propelled to the front page hot list!

Having grown accustomed to the survival mystery videos of Bear Grylls and Ray Mears abroad, high-quality domestic content in this area is indeed very scarce.

With gimmicks and explosive highlights, even those who normally don’t like fishing can’t help but take a glance at this content, and ultimately find that Yue Feng isn’t just clickbait, making them even more curious about the follow-up.

Just this one clip, in less than five hours, garnered over 2 million views and brought in over 60,000 new followers for Yue Feng, a staggering explosion of data.

By the time it was past seven in the evening, all team members who had gone out returned.

Everyone had spent the afternoon at the observation point without any result, so the only choice was to gather and have dinner together!

The dinner was quite rich; Yue Feng made a big pot of sour cabbage fish that he had learned from Liu Fengnian, and everyone ate with greasy mouths, almost swallowing their tongues in delight.

It was cold at night, so everyone also drank some high-proof liquor to keep warm.

The group ate, drank, and chatted, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

As the sun set and darkness fell, the temperature around the lake plummeted.

Wearing fleece and down gilets under coats was still a bit cold; gritting his teeth, Yue Feng simply put on his thick down jacket, finally feeling a bit more comfortable.

“Fengfeng, what are you doing?

Come out and watch the stars!

The night sky is so beautiful outside!” The voice of a child came from outside the tent.

Away from pollution, the starry sky here was indeed beautiful.

At a glance, it looked as if myriads of diamonds were hanging in the velvet-like night sky.

After focusing on it for a while, I felt my mind go blank.

“You little stinker, what are you thinking about?” The child, wrapped in a cashmere blanket, snuggled up against Yue Feng’s knee and asked in a low voice.

“Guess?” Yue Feng gave the child a paternal head pat, and the little girl naturally leaned against him.

“I guess you’re thinking about catching the monster tomorrow!”

“What monster!

You’ve watched too much Ultraman, haven’t you?

I think it’s very likely just some kind of fish, or even a kind of big fish that has become extinct elsewhere!

When I have nothing to do, I’ve looked up information.

In cold lakes like Kanas Lake, fish have very low energy consumption; it’s possible for them to grow huge!”

“This morning I thought we were here just to take a bit of funding for fun, but seeing everyone’s attitude towards us at dinner, I feel like you can make a success of this!

Fishing—you’re way more professional than they are!”

“Of course; what, did you think your husband, the Fishing King, got his title from a town hall fake certificate for a hundred bucks?” Yue Feng boasted with a smirk.

“Boo hoo, you’re so vain!

But I really like it!”

Feeling the warm breath of the child, Yue Feng leaned in, and his thick lips, laden with the scent of alcohol, pressed down.

The whole world went silent!

…

The next day, bright and early at 6:30 a.m., Yue Feng crawled out of the tent.

The tents provided by the research team, along with the -30-degree sleeping bags and the heating lanterns, made sleeping at night quite warm, with none of the expected frozen, sleepless nights occurring.

But stepping out of the tent, Yue Feng instantly felt so cold that he shrunk back inside.

Damn it, outside the tent everything was a bright, glittering white, with a thick layer of frost!

The temperature had dropped significantly since the night before, probably at least down to negative seven or eight degrees.

After dozing in the tent for a bit longer, at past seven in the morning with the sky slightly brightening, Yue Feng gritted his teeth, crawled out of the tent, warmed up his hands and feet with some jumping around, and then headed straight for the lakeside with the drone.
