Chapter 686 - 686 673 Pride and Prejudice

686: Chapter 673: Pride and Prejudice 686: Chapter 673: Pride and Prejudice Americans’ thought processes are indeed different from those in China.

The size difference of the large aquarium tanks is one thing, but they also pile up many stones and dead trees around that resemble a natural, outdoor environment, making the entire scene look closer to nature.

With a simple observation, one could clearly see that there are indeed fish swimming in the water,

Yue Feng: “The area of this tank is almost as big as my fishing store!”

Zhang Lin laughed: “The land here in the United States is not as expensive as it is in China, so the decorations and arrangements in American stores are quite different!

This is just the beginner level.

If you go further ahead, there’s a hunting section where there are also plenty of small and medium-sized specimens.

You can take a look at things like compound bows and shotguns too!”

Hearing about compound bows and shotguns, Yue Feng and the child exchange glances and immediately say, “Where’s it at?

Take us to have a look!

I haven’t even touched a real gun before!”

Zhang Lin: “Follow me!”

Under Zhang Lin’s guidance, Yue Feng and the child quickly arrived at a large outdoor hunting area.

True to his word, there were various types of shotguns, including ones loaded with buckshot, as well as hunting knives and ammo, displayed on the shelves just like ordinary merchandise, available for customers to inspect at will.

“Just like that, without any issues?” Yue Feng looked the guns up and down, and touched the walnut stock of one of the shotguns with his hand.

Zhang Lin laughed: “There are still restrictions.

These guns on display as samples have neither their triggers nor their firing pins installed, so they can’t be used right away!

In the United States, although it’s legal to buy guns, there are still restrictions.

The laws vary from state to state, and in our state, you need to pass a test to get a firearm permit in order to buy one!

There’s also an interesting detail worth noting; it’s harder to buy handguns than long guns!

You can buy a regular rifle or shotgun if you’re 18 and considered an adult, but for handguns, you have to be 21!”

After Zhang Lin’s explanation, Yue Feng had a basic understanding of the situation.

No wonder there are so many cases of gunfire—getting your hands on a gun is too easy!

Compared to this, the high tension that American police officers experience while carrying out tasks, and even the seemingly stupid mistakes they make that look ridiculous to Chinese people, become somewhat understandable.

While Yue Feng continued to examine a rifle suppressor, a uniformed store employee approached them.

“Hello, sir, may I assist you with something?” The saleswoman, who appeared to be in her thirties and was white, had a rather stiff expression but was polite nonetheless.

Yue Feng shook his head: “Just looking around!”

The saleswoman, possibly picking up on Yue Feng’s broken, Chinese-style accent, said, “According to Florida law, only US citizens or immigrants with green cards are eligible to purchase and use firearms!

Tourists or international students don’t meet the requirements for purchasing firearms!”

Yue Feng nodded, put down the suppressor in his hand, and walked away!

They had directly started talking about regulations, and the subtext was clear—without the qualifications to buy, there was no need to continue looking.

After leaving the area, Zhang Lin whispered in Chinese, “Many white Americans are like this!

They appear polite but keep you at arm’s length—I’m already used to it!

I have no idea where their sense of superiority comes from, acting like they’re better than everyone else!”

Yue Feng chuckled indifferently: “Didn’t the old saying go, ‘The customer is God’?

No matter how haughty, they still have to greet us, right?

That’s enough for me!

What else is fun around here, let’s keep moving!”

Zhang Lin: “Let’s go check out the speedboats area.

You might find them useful for the competitions you enter.

But that area is next to the club activity zone, and apparently taking photos isn’t allowed, so be mindful!”

Yue Feng nodded and followed Zhang Lin straight to the speedboat section.

The term ‘speedboat’ doesn’t refer to the traditional larger vessels, but rather those that are single or double occupancy, designed for fishing.

Some had motors, while others were single-person, driven by a transmission chain that spun a propeller.

There were at least seven or eight different kinds, big and small, and they were all quite pricey.

Even a single-person little boat converted to RMB costs over twenty thousand yuan.

Those that looked more advanced had price tags of several tens of thousands of US dollars.

Yue Feng wasn’t sure which level of competition boat Lawrence had agreed to help prepare.

As he wandered around the speedboats, Yue Feng heard cheers and applause coming from behind a wall not far away.

He paused slightly and instinctively peered into the doorway.

On the other side of the wall was a specially arranged casting training room.

Inside, several Americans were competing in a lure casting accuracy contest.

An angler in his twenties or thirties had just tossed a leech blade into a box, and the others were cheering him on.

“What are you doing?

This is a private area, no photography allowed!?”

Just then, a tall middle-aged man suddenly appeared from nowhere, scowling at Yue Feng and Zhang Lin.

This guy’s temples were slightly grayed, but he had a very sturdy build, giving an impression of immense strength, like a bull.

Seeing that Yue Feng had caused trouble, Zhang Lin hurriedly explained, “Sorry, my compatriot from China is here to shop and was just looking around the fishing equipment store!

No offense was intended, please don’t take it the wrong way!”

“Chinese?

My store doesn’t welcome rule-breakers!

Leave our private area now, or I’ll have the guards kick you out!”

It turned out this was the store’s owner, Joe Smith.

Yue Feng was about to turn and leave when the commotion at the door drew the attention of many anglers inside.

Five or six heads popped out, all eyeing Yue Feng and the other uninvited guests.

“Hey, Joe!

Why do these yellow monkeys keep coming to your fishing equipment store?

They aren’t here to steal, are they?”

“Look at what they bought—a basic, entry-level fishing rod, and they even got a 75% discount!”

“Are all Chinese so disrespectful?

Was that guy with the cell phone secretly filming our casting practice?”

The comments came from several people at once.

The tone of voice, as well as the words, showed not a hint of respect.

It was more like they were deliberately provoking to embarrass.

Zhang Lin’s face turned a bit sour upon hearing these remarks, “Sorry, we didn’t mean to intrude on your private practice!

We’ll leave right away!”

“Leave the phone behind, it surely recorded something!”

“Right, at the very least delete the video.

I don’t want to end up on some yellow monkey forum showing off my casting practice!”

At this, Yue Feng couldn’t hold back anymore.

They had no right to belittle people like this.

Yue Feng spoke firmly but politely, “I apologize if we accidentally intruded into your private area, but I can’t accept your remarks.

They are an insult to an angler!”

“Haha, listen to what I just heard.

Angler?

You call yourself an angler?

An angler who uses promotional discount fishing rods?”

“Hahaha”

A series of mocking laughs erupted from the crowd.
