Chapter 710 - 710 697 Challenge in Public

710: Chapter 697: Challenge in Public 710: Chapter 697: Challenge in Public As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar beneath the award podium.

Such an incident had also occurred during the process of catching the record-breaking, mutant Big Mouth Bass yesterday?

The so-called pack tactics are a little secret to anyone who has ever taken part in this type of Big Mouth Bass competition, especially for members of certain clubs who come together.

They treat the act of collaboratively oppressing their competitors as a part of the competition, after all, you can suppress others, but others also have friends and family who can use the same strategies to hinder you.

But Yue Feng was different, as an angler from abroad, being interfered with by a group of local anglers, and even nearly making a mistake that could have lost him the record-breaking Big Mouth Bass—speaking more seriously, it could almost be considered a scandal in the American fishing community.

Now, bringing up such matters during the championship award ceremony felt like a slap in the face, no matter how you look at it.

The blonde host’s face changed color after hearing this, “Is what you’re saying true?

Such behavior sounds despicable!”

Yue Feng nodded, “At that time, the neighboring angler’s boat was less than ten meters away from mine without any intention of changing course!

I can stand by every word I said!

And if need be, I am able to provide video evidence for the entire process!”

“I am outraged by what you’ve been through!

Perhaps after the award ceremony, you could make a complaint to the organizers!

I think all the enthusiasts watching the Big Mouth Bass outdoor fishing competition below would support your complaint!

My personal bottom line is that it’s okay for the competition to be about strategy, but you cannot put the parties in danger!!”

“Thank you for your sympathy, and if necessary, I will make a complaint!

I reserve the right to pursue responsibility later on!”

The previously well-created award atmosphere was immediately altered by Yue Feng’s revelations, concerned about the potential negative impact, the host didn’t continue with the post-match speech but instead invited one of the organizers and a leader from the Big Mouth Bass Association, Wilson, to present Yue Feng with his award.

The medal for the heaviest single catch, the medal for the ten-year heaviest fishing record, in addition to the trophy for the first place in total weight of the competition, and finally, a large-sized mock-up check for twenty thousand US dollars for a photo op, with a flurry of camera flashes below.

Just before stepping down after receiving his awards, Yue Feng suddenly remembered something he had not yet mentioned, so he stopped, took the microphone again, “Almost forgot, I have a few more words to say.

I’ll be staying in the United States for a few more days, and my next move is to take on the challenge of solo fishing for the Miami giant grouper!

If there are any fishing enthusiasts who’d like to get to know me better, make friends, or spar with me in fishing skill, please watch out for a post on the World Fishing Association’s forum.

I am open to challenges from everyone!

My name is Yue Feng, Fisherman from China, and I look forward to your arrival!”

After his bold proclamation, Yue Feng walked off the stage with the trophy in hand.

Zhang Lin was waiting nearby, and at this moment, his eyes shone with stars as he looked at Yue Feng—that was the look of a die-hard fan seeing their idol!

“How’s that, Zhang?

Didn’t I maintain our nation’s dignity?” Yue Feng asked calmly.

“Brother Feng, you’re too awesome.

It’s not just about not losing face, but you’ve actually brought us great honor!

No Chinese has ever stood on the champion’s podium of an American fishing competition, and you’re the first to throw down a challenge like that!

Now, I guess the forum’s going to be buzzing.

Countless American anglers will respond to your challenge!

The scope of the previous forum’s friendly invitation competition will have to expand manyfold, and if the sponsor can get sponsors, there will be even more participants!”

“The more, the merrier!

I welcome all comers!”

Yue Feng now has the Barbaric Bull Strength Card and has solidified the effect of the Sea King Card.

He’s certainly not weak now—it’s just a Giant Grouper, right?

With his full power unleashed, he could definitely handle it.

When they returned to where the car was parked, Lawrence and David were already waiting there.

Lawrence said, “My friend, your performance on stage just now was truly eye-opening!

Do you need any help?

David has filled me in on the details, and no matter who the other participants are, I can make those bastards pay!”

Yue Feng shook his head, “There’s no need to trouble you!

It doesn’t mean much to me!

I just wanted to give them a warning!

It won’t be long before I return to China.

Lord Lawrence, let’s talk about tonight’s Chinese food instead.

I’ll be cooking myself!”

“My friend, if you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask me!

As for Chinese food, I’ve had some in New York’s Chinese restaurants before, but it didn’t seem much different from other cuisines to me!”

“Haha, you must have had the modified versions.

Tonight, we’ll have the authentic dishes!”

…

The award ceremony concluded, and Yue Feng and his two companions got into the car with their trophy.

There would be someone to handle the payout of the prize money.

After taxes, Yue Feng could expect to take home around 70%, which amounted to more than eighty thousand RMB, enough to cover the expenses of his trip to the United States.

They still hadn’t eaten lunch by midday, so on the way back they made do with a quick hamburger once again.

However, this time, Yue Feng and his friends didn’t rush back to their place.

Instead, they headed to the supermarket to shop for various ingredients for dinner.

It was only upon entering an American supermarket that Yue Feng realized that, while the prices of various meat products were incredibly low, high-quality vegetables were quite pricey.

Having won the prize, Yue Feng wasn’t concerned about the shopping expenses.

He went on a shopping spree at the Chinese supermarket, and other than the fishing gear, virtually every nook and cranny of the car’s trunk was filled.

Lawrence was coming over as a guest, and while Yue Feng was quite relaxed about it, Zhang Lin was a little more excited.

This was a big shot he would normally never get to meet.

As Zhang Lin couldn’t accompany Yue Feng to the banquet before, this was a good opportunity for him to make an impression and network on his home ground.

After getting back to their lodging, they set up quickly and prepared the ingredients they had bought.

Kung Pao Chicken, Dry Fried Green Beans, Braised Pork Ribs, Pickled Fish, Mapo Tofu, Seafood Soup with Dough Drops, plus stir-fried Broccoli and Bamboo Shoots, and finally, the essential dumplings.

They focused the meal around sweet and spicy flavors, all based on Zhang Lin’s understanding of American tastes.

They avoided anything that Americans might consider exotic or off-putting, like preserved eggs or organ meats.

There weren’t many people eating, but a large tableful of dishes was prepared—as many as eight dishes and one soup, not including the main dish of dumplings, which was quite a generous amount.

In some places within China, this would have been a feast equivalent to a New Year’s Eve dinner.

As evening approached and it began to darken, Lawrence arrived with his driver and Captain David, making three guests in total.

Seeing the three men enter, Yue Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, Lawrence’s daughter hadn’t come; otherwise, the kid would have been impatient again.

“My dear friend, for this visit, I’ve brought some of your Chinese liquor!

It was a gift from Gu Qingtian, and I’ve been told it’s been aged for many years.

I hope you’ll enjoy it,” Lawrence said as he gestured for the driver to bring in the gift.

Yue Feng glanced at it and was impressed.

Moutai, and from the looks of the slightly yellowing packaging, it was definitely a vintage!

A gift from Big Brother Gu was bound to be exceptional.
