Chapter 713: Chapter 700: The Magical Kingdom

“Hey, are you the Chinese guy Yue Feng who’s been talking big on the forums about challenging American anglers?” the burly man spoke in a booming voice, a tinge of indignation laced with scorn in his tone.

Yue Feng slightly raised his head and glanced at the man: “Hello, I am Yue Feng, and you are? Is there something you need?”

“My name is Di Gaobai! It won’t be long before you remember me forever! I represent the Bass·Pro Club in this competition! My goal is to crush you in the shortest time possible and finish this contest!”

“I’ve heard your casting skills are outstanding, but let me remind you here that while you might need casting skills for Big Mouth Bass, you need raw power, explosive power for Goliath Grouper, and all those damn skills are useless!”

Yue Feng cracked a smile and nodded: “Thanks for the advice!”

“You might be able to smile now, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to smile during the competition. I’ll use my actions to defend the honor of Miami anglers!

“I’ve once single-handedly caught a ferocious Bull Shark over 500 pounds! These two or three hundred pound Goliath Groupers are no pressure at all for me!”

Yue Feng nodded again: “You’re impressive! It would be even better if you could be a bit more polite! This is a friendly challenge, not a verbal slap fight! I hope you can do better!”

A few sentences, neither obsequious nor arrogant, left the black muscle man stunned.

The culture in the United States has always revered the strong; from school days onward, declaring one’s strength and ability has been the main way to earn respect from peers.

But this approach seems to have no effect at all in front of this young Chinese man.

The man didn’t argue with him or doubt any of the boasting in his words. Yet, at the same time, there was no sign of capitulation or even submission; despite all he said, the fighting spirit in the eyes of his opponent hadn’t wavered in the slightest.

“You are special, not like those pushovers! But I will still win in the end!” Di Gaobai said.

“Good luck!” Yue Feng nodded and ended this somewhat offensive conversation.

Watching the tower-like burly man walk away, the kid couldn’t help but say: “I’ve never been racist before, but after meeting that black gorilla just now, it seems mainstream values do have some sense! That guy’s breath just now was disgusting!”

Yue Feng tugged at the kid’s hand: “Alright, stay calm. Didn’t you hear him? He’s representing the Bass·Pro Club!

“It would be strange if they had a good attitude after we slapped their faces! But in a fishing competition, it’s the results that speak, and all this talk is pointless!

“The staff has already confirmed our gear is good to go; let’s get on board. Zhang Lin, you stay here and keep watch. I’ll board first with the kid, and we’ll keep in touch by phone if there’s any news!”

“Okay, we have half an hour before we set off. I’ll keep an eye on things here!”

Yue Feng greeted everyone and, with the kid, went to find Captain David to board the boat first.

However, on the way they continually encountered several Americans of more normal stature.

Compared to the rudeness and impoliteness of the earlier brute, these people were much friendlier; after learning Yue Feng’s identity, they revealed they were fans of Yue Feng. They said the giant Big Mouth Bass was very cool and had specifically brought their kids to get a picture with Yue Feng today!

The bad mood from before was somewhat salvaged by these American fans. Yue Feng greeted them amiably and even signed autographs.

In the same country, two completely different treatments left Yue Feng feeling a bit dazed on boarding the ship: damn, what a strange country.

“Haha, Fengfeng, you’ve got American fans now! And among them, there was a father and son duo! You’ve got fans from forty to teenagers, man!” Once aboard, the kid couldn’t help teasing.

Yue Feng tilted his head back confidently and boasted, “That’s right, the organizers have really splurged this time. Each boat has been fitted with wide-angle panoramic cameras, and I even signed a personal privacy notice when I checked in a while ago. I’ve authorized them to use the footage they shoot!”

“Soon, the image of your husband challenging the giant grouper will be on American forums, and by then I’ll have even more fans!”

“Hmph! Although you’ve never tricked me, seeing the size of these American anglers, I’m still sweating for you.

Lawrence did warn you, you know. You can only take on that fish head-on, no finesse fishing! A 300-pound giant grouper translates to over 270 jin in our measurement. Are you sure you can handle it alone without any trouble?”

Yue Feng clenched his fist and flexed his bicep, showing off his muscle: “Hmph, who’re you underestimating? I might look skinny, but I’m all muscle inside!”

With a stifled laugh, the baby couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle.

“Silly, if you have meat growing inside your bones, that’s called a turtle!”

Yue Feng couldn’t help but scratch his head, “Anyway, that’s the gist! With this set of new equipment, there’ll be absolutely no problem!”

After chatting idly for a while longer, Zhang Lin came over with a walkie-talkie. All the personnel had checked in successfully, and the final countdown began for officially boarding the ship and leaving the harbor for the competition. Instructions for starting the contest and for calling the judges after catching a fish all had to be done through the walkie-talkie.

Five minutes later, the voice announcing the official start of the competition came through the walkie-talkie, and David steered the fishing boat straight for the area under the cross-sea bridge.

During the time it took to travel, Yue Feng opened his own live streaming room and connected to the live broadcast back in China.

“Front row! Sofa!”

“Front row, folding stool!”

“How’s it going? Has the giant grouper competition started?”

“Is this on the fishing boat? Has the competition started?”

Yue Feng: “Hello everyone, I’m Yue Feng. We’re currently near the cross-sea bridge in Miami, and the friendly challenge targeting the giant grouper has officially begun, ending at three o’clock this afternoon! Right now, the captain is heading towards our target point, and we’ll arrive at the fishing spot in no more than fifteen minutes!”

“That close? We can’t get very far in fifteen minutes! There are giant groupers near the shore?”

“Feng, what are you wearing? New outdoor gear? How come I’ve never seen it before?”

Yue Feng did a squatting and standing up motion: “This is an auxiliary tool we’re using for the competition this time, kind of like an exoskeleton!”

As for the giant grouper, these fish are typically active in shallow water and rocky reef areas. You can often find them around rocky reefs that are twenty to thirty meters deep or near bridge piers with complex structures.

In Miami, these fish are considered highly protected species. It’s allowed to fish for them, but you can’t bring them onboard—if you do, you’re looking at sky-high fines or even imprisonment. Since very few people fish for them, they are actually quite easy to catch!

While we still have some time on the way, let me show you the fishing rods and fishing reels we’re using for the competition!”

Having said that, Yue Feng took out the gear for the competition from the cabin.

As soon as the gear was revealed, the live stream viewers exploded with excitement!
