Chapter 866: Chapter 849 Tianyuan Second Team

Over the next three days, the trend of competitive fishing at the Fishing Base not only didn’t decline but rather grew stronger as more participants joined in for practice.

New faces were joining the competitive fishing crowd every day, and at its peak, the number of participants exceeded 30+. The earnings for a single champion could reach four or five hundred yuan.

Thanks to their overwhelming fishing skills and aggressive bait, the Yue Feng team thrived among these amateur groups, netting over a thousand yuan daily after deducting for breakfast and dinner expenses.

However, the good times didn’t last. Four days before the start of the competition, two black Mercedes-Benz vans emblazoned with the Wuhan Tianyuan logo drove into the Fishing Base.

There were already many teams driving luxury cars in recent days, but two Mercedes vans showing up was quite a statement.

In the fishing circles, hardly anyone didn’t know about Tianyuan’s anglers. Upon seeing the logo on the cars, some anglers started to murmur with their friends.

“The members of Tianyuan Club are here! Is this the assembly of the official teams?”

“Hey, something’s not right. The East China Region shouldn’t include Wuhan, should it? They belong to a different zone, so why are they here?”

Soon, as the vehicles stopped and the team members disembarked in an orderly manner, it became clear to those observing.

The leader wasn’t Tianyuan’s captain Leng Xiaojun, but the slightly older Hu Changsheng. Behind Old Hu were mostly young-faced anglers; not a single first-string member like Leng Xiaojun, Ming Xiaodong, or Mu Lin was there.

These team members behaved very appropriately in public. After unloading their equipment, they stood in line, and following a brief pep talk and roll call, they walked in formation toward the waterside.

Just after putting down their gear, Hu Changsheng received a phone call. After greeting the team members, he quickly got into the car again. Less than a minute later, Old Hu started the car and drove away.

With the leader gone, the young new recruits from Tianyuan immediately began chattering.

One of the young anglers, wearing red AJ sneakers, looked over at the crowd engaged in competitive fishing and then walked over quickly.

“Hey, are you guys doing competitive fishing? What’s the rule? Can more people join?”

Xiao Liqiang, who had been organizing these competitive fishing events lately, wasn’t satisfied with the impolite behavior of this guy. He looked up but didn’t respond and continued his rhythm of casting the rod.

It was Zhao Zheng who noticed the limited edition AJ sneakers and finally engaged.

“You’ll have to wait for the next round if you want to join! So, you want to participate too? Which team are you from? What’s your name?”

“I’m Meng Weize from Tianyuan Youth Training Team’s East China Branch. Our captain had to leave on business, so we’re free to explore. I saw you guys doing competitive fishing. What’s the prize pot? Let’s join together!”

With just one sentence, he clarified his background and resolved many doubts in people’s minds.

Tianyuan indeed lived up to its reputation as a top-tier team in the domestic Taiwan Fishing competition circle by establishing a branch in the East China Region. This indicated they had at least two clubs under their umbrella, which was even an extravagant maneuver compared to Old Hua.

After listening, Yue Feng said: “Then let’s add you! More people add to the fun! Get ready, and after we finish this round, we’ll start together in the next one!”

“Are you from Yuefeng Club?” Meng Weize asked curiously after glancing at the outfits Yue Feng and Zhao Zheng wore.

While other small teams might not know much about Yue Feng’s group, at Tianyuan, even during regular training sessions, their technical advisors and captain often mentioned them.

When Yue Feng won the Fishing King Cup, facing off against Tianyuan’s interception multiple times, he still broke through to win the championship.

In recent years, Yuefeng Fishing Tackle also developed exceptionally, especially in fishing skills. Tianyuan’s veterans had a solid assessment of Yue Feng, considering him a top-tier angler in the country.

Zhao Zheng said, “Yes, we’re somewhat like your youth training team, signed before the formation of the club league! Let’s spar a bit since we’re here!”

“Is that so! Then let’s try a few rounds!” Meng Weize, after hearing Zhao Zheng’s explanation, had an elusive glint of disdain in his eyes but accepted vaguely.

Soon, the current round concluded, with Zhao Ran winning the championship and taking home over three hundred yuan in prize money. As the others settled scores, the Tianyuan Youth Training Team’s six or seven youths also gathered around during the draw.

“What stakes are we playing with? Thirty-one rounds? That’s a bit low, isn’t it? How about increasing the prize? Fifty? In our external Category Four competitions, it’s usually a hundred per round! Let’s extend the time a bit to avoid switching places so often!”

Even before drawing lots, Meng Weize began inquiring about the stakes.

Yue Feng didn’t speak but nodded at Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng responded, “We should be okay with that. How about the others? Old Xiao, do you guys have any issues? Fifty yuan, with the time changed to 40 minutes. Longer competition time means more money, so the costs are almost the same as before!”

Xiao Liqiang hadn’t lost any money, so naturally, he didn’t care. There was a proposal, and he wished to agree.

“Sure, we don’t have a problem. How about the other guys? Anyone think it’s inappropriate?”

“We don’t have an issue!”

“Same here!”

Most of them valued their reputation, and before fully assessing each other’s strengths, who would back down over a twenty-yuan difference? Moreover, they increased the time spent in competitive fishing, so it wasn’t much different in the end. Thus, everyone readily agreed.

Having settled on the new rules, casting lots quickly followed by entering the field, initiating a new round of competitive fishing.

Through it all, Yue Feng hardly made a statement, focusing primarily on the new arrivals.

Having experienced various grand scenes, he viewed these posturing young fellows much like an adult sees a child, especially this instigator Meng Weize, whose arrogance was evident between his eyebrows. The other team members respected him quite a bit, probably because he had some skills.

Yue Feng would naturally not miss out on the first round involving the new anglers. Once fishing began, he launched a full-force attack, quickly creating the perfect fishing spot with a high frequency of catches.

Meanwhile, the young anglers from Tianyuan handled their rods with solid fundamentals. Despite being new to the unfamiliar fishing grounds, they displayed organized and methodical fishing techniques.

Forty minutes later, the competitive fishing round ended.

The results were stunning.

Apart from Yue Feng maintaining his performance and securing the pit champion, only Zhao Ran acquired the safety net. With the total number of participants increased, the safety net spots now went to six. Zhao Zheng, Wang Zhen, Xue Kai, and Wang Xiaomin all ended up filling the pit.
