Chapter 712 - 712 699 Exoskeleton Device

712: Chapter 699: Exoskeleton Device 712: Chapter 699: Exoskeleton Device Normally, in fishing, the typical team configuration consists of two to three Anglers, with one taking the lead and two assisting, working together to fish.

However, for a single person to fish, the difficulty is remarkably high, and the requirements for core strength are extremely demanding.

When the invitation was initially posted on the forum, it was more of a joke and a prank because very few ordinary Anglers possessed the necessary physical fitness.

But unexpectedly, through a series of coincidences, Yue Feng not only accepted the challenge but also successfully caught the attention of many top fishing experts within the United States.

While Yue Feng was resting at his residence, he soon received a message from Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin, “Feng, the forum has released the competition rules, and the contest is set for the day after tomorrow.

Not only that, but it’s also secured a sponsorship with a prize fund of one hundred thousand US dollars!”

“What?

One hundred thousand US dollars?” Hearing this figure, Yue Feng bolted upright from the sofa.

“Yes, a very famous fishing boat brand announced an exclusive sponsorship of the competition.

In addition to covering the various costs of preparing the event, they are also providing one hundred thousand US dollars in prize money and the official tools and boats for the judges!” Zhang Lin said with certainty.

“Where’s the news?

Find it for me to see!”

Soon, with the help of a notebook computer, Zhang Lin logged onto the forum and located the announcement pinned by the moderator.

With Zhang Lin’s assistance, Yue Feng read through the rules word by word.

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He had only hoped to pick some corn, but unexpectedly, there was a huge watermelon waiting in the cornfield—an unforeseen bounty indeed.

“But don’t get too excited too soon.

With such a high prize fund, it’s nearly on par with the second-tier fishing competitions in the United States.

Several well-known Anglers have announced their participation, including some tough guys who have taken on challenges such as the Blue Flag Yellowfin Tuna and even large sharks!

Most of them have experience and history with fishing for giant grouper!!” Zhang Lin explained.

“Who are they?

Help me compile whatever materials you can gather!”

“Sure, I’ll get right on it!” Zhang Lin readily agreed.

Zhang Lin was so invested not only because of his admiration for Yue Feng but also because of the benefits he had recently received.

Taking advantage of Lawrence’s visit for dinner, Yue Feng seriously introduced this diligent compatriot to Lawrence.

Lawrence, a sharp man, immediately promised that once the compatriot graduated, he could work for his enterprise with generous remuneration—a highly attractive offer even before graduation!

In the following hours, Zhang Lin gathered and organized the data of the Anglers who announced their participation on the forum.

He also consolidated the list of other participants who signed up without posting through his assistant’s access.

Without proper awareness, one would not realize the extent of participation; indeed, more than fifty people had signed up for this friendly challenge!

And registration wasn’t even closed yet!

It was foreseeable that by noon tomorrow, when the registration ended, breaking through the sixty-participant mark would be quite easy.

A state competition for Big Mouth Bass merely attracted forty people, yet, in a short time, a friendly challenge garnered more than sixty direct registrations, presumably with even more interest behind it.

The influence of this event was becoming tremendous.

The next day, as expected, the number of registrants reached sixty.

Yue Feng was mentally prepared, but he still needed to make some appropriate adjustments to his equipment.

Having already boasted, Yue Feng did not hold back and directly selected specialized fishing gear for solo challenges against large creatures from the System Mall—an enormous Fishing Reel, along with a special one-man combat fishing device.

This thing is a bit hard to describe, its type somewhat similar to the exoskeleton suits for soldiers that the domestic news just exposed not long ago, with a connected belly support at the lower abdomen area,

This device doesn’t provide any additional power, but through actions like squatting and leaning back, it allows the angler to consolidate the strength from their calves, thighs, and waist to the belly support, greatly increasing the efficiency of bodily force exertion.

After trying on the gear, Yue Feng felt the design was exceptionally sensible!

“Wow, Feng bro, where did you get this equipment?

It’s just too cool!” Zhang Lin couldn’t help but ask upon seeing Yue Feng’s outfit.

The goods were delivered through express mail, and it was Zhang Lin who went downstairs to receive the package, but he knew nothing about its source.

Yue Feng just smiled, “A friend helped me get it!

It’s still in a research and trial-use stage, so we’re sort of pioneers!

This thing doesn’t break any rules, does it?”

Zhang Lin looked it over several times, “I seem to have seen similar devices on forums, used by people who challenge bull sharks!

According to the rules of fishing in the United States, as long as the equipment doesn’t provide extra power, its use is allowed!

To avoid controversy, it’s better to ask the staff for confirmation before the competition starts tomorrow; better safe than sorry!”

“Okay!

Then it’s settled!

Let’s get some rest tonight.

We’ll get up early tomorrow and continue the battle!”

The next day before dawn, Yue Feng got up bright and early to wash up.

When fishing for Big Mouth Bass, a simple breakfast might suffice, but for catching giant grouper, a full breakfast is necessary, or else where would the strength come from?

Milk, bread, and a medium-rare steak filled Yue Feng’s stomach.

The three of them got in the car and headed straight for the predetermined competition site.

This time, the giant grouper fishing spot was set at a medium-sized dock located less than a kilometer from the sea-crossing bridge near Miami.

Even though it was shallow sea fishing, the small boats used in the Big Mouth Bass competition were far from adequate; at a minimum, a boat over ten meters in length was necessary.

As the host, Lawrence still took care of the fishing boat for Yue Feng—a 15.8-meter long, latest model fishing boat that had been launched less than half a year ago, with the captain still being Yue Feng’s old acquaintance, David.

When the three of them arrived at the gathering place, Yue Feng was stunned by what he saw.

The vast parking lot was filled with all sorts of big cars, with muscle vehicles like Raptors and Dodge Rams being very common.

Many cars were also decked out with various fish-related stickers, looking very personalized.

After parking the car and arriving at the temporary registration area, Yue Feng gained a deeper understanding of these Americans.

Good lord, there were basically no individuals weighing less than 200 pounds—just about everyone was broad and stout, built like an ox.

At about 180 cm tall and 165 pounds, Yue Feng wasn’t short among ordinary people of his ethnicity, but compared to these muscle-bound men, he looked like a mere child.

Tied back-to-back, two Yue Fengs probably wouldn’t be as thick as one of these guys.

Yue Feng’s arrival soon caused a stir in the waiting area.

When many American anglers saw Yue Feng, they could hardly believe their eyes.

Could this young angler, who appeared “slim” and hardly fatter than a monkey, really dare to single-handedly challenge the giant grouper?

This had to be the funniest joke they’d heard all year.

Yue Feng first checked in at the sign-in desk and was inquiring the staff about the external wearable fishing device when a black strongman, towering over 195 cm and chewing gum, walked over.
