CHAPTER 1089: CHAPTER 1070: A BOLD LIFE NEEDS NO EXPLANATION

"This, actually, is pretty simple! Once I explain it, everyone will get it!"

"First of all, regarding the fish stocking, the species and quantity were disclosed in advance in the rules,

I did some research and found that compared to before, the pit now has more high-backed carp, plus over two thousand pounds of Refried Mirror carp!

The catches of crucian carp and carp both count towards the score, but the crucian carp are new, so you definitely have to fly-kick them for maximum efficiency!

However, to minimize interference, bottom fishing isn’t reliable! With four thousand pounds of carp in the pit, they’re bound to enter or hover around the nest! If the nest gets flooded with carp while fishing consecutively, the crucians would be driven away, which is really bad for fast fishing conditions!

So, what to do? At this point, I have two choices,

Either I ignore it, fish normally, and gamble on luck! If I’m lucky and the big fish don’t disturb the nest, I win.

The second option is to find a way to lure the carp away so they don’t disturb the crucian fishing as much as possible!

Choosing the lesser of two evils, I went with the second fishing strategy,

I used a larger piece of Super Attraction, mixed with some carp-preferred pellets to make a heavy, sinking Loose Powder bait, and started by setting up the nest at the farthest point,

With the carp entering the nest, the fish school would gather at the front, and the impact on the crucians at a close point of around seven rods would be much smaller!

To reduce risk as much as possible, I chose a strategy of fixed-layer fishing above rather than bottom fishing, as it’s harder and affects the crucians less, hitting two birds with one stone!

As for the high-frequency casting and feeding to gather fish, it’s just a routine operation, as the fish are very active, and forming a school is just a matter of time!

An hour and a half in the competition, time was ample, and it was clear that my gamble paid off!"

"Hahaha, no wonder you’re a disciple personally trained by Yue Feng, your thought process is almost identical to what Yue Feng taught! After hearing this again, did everyone understand? If you did, type a wave of 666 for Xiaomin on the public channel!"

Both online and offline, people worship the strong, and Wang Xiaomin’s miraculous maneuver instantly won over numerous netizens.

And so, 666 started flooding the screen, and the atmosphere soared once again.

While chatting, the judge responsible for weighing came over with the staff, and with a big haul, hung the fish on the Fish Guard. The catch was soon pulled out of the water by a motor, and after a dozen seconds, the weight appeared on the electronic scale.

89.8kg!

Just a bit short of 180 pounds of catch, among the many Black Pit anglers, yet another standout result in the third round!

"Wow! A final catch of 89.8 kilograms perfectly demonstrates what an ultimate perfect crucian fly-kicking show should be like!!"

"Alright, the live stream of this morning’s third round will end here for now. At 1:30 PM, the grand final of the fourth round, deciding the ownership of the million prize, will begin. Don’t miss out!"

...

After the live stream ended, Tian Tian put her phone in her pocket and turned to Wang Xiaomin, "Let’s have lunch together?"

Hearing Tian Tian invite him to lunch proactively, Wang Xiaomin was stunned, what’s going on? Something’s off!

"What are you staring at! I didn’t drive here, we’ll ride in your car with Brother Feng for lunch! What are you thinking?" Tian Tian rolled her eyes and said impatiently.

"Oh, oh, okay! No worries, I’m fine!"

Seeing Wang Xiaomin’s somewhat naive expression, Tian Tian chuckled again,

This guy is so interesting. He looks so mature when fishing, but after the competition, he’s still a bit boyish. No wonder Yue Feng saw something special in him and praised him highly.

...

With the morning competition over, the total catch data was quickly compiled,

Of the ten thousand pounds of crucian carp stocked, about eight thousand three hundred seventy pounds were caught in the morning, with the carp haul at 859 pounds,

The theoretical remaining fish in the pit is about one thousand six hundred thirty pounds of crucian carp, and three thousand one hundred forty pounds of carp.

After the final tally, by the end of the morning’s third round, there were still over four thousand seven hundred pounds of fish in the pit, less than five thousand pounds. Considering such a large area, the density remains decent.

Based on the remaining fish numbers, once the competition’s site was cleared, the staff immediately began preparations for the next match.

They replenished the total fish volume in the pit to 10,000 pounds, which meant adding around 5300 pounds of pure new crucian carp!

However, the size of the crucian carp for the final round wasn’t the morning’s six, seven, or eight, but larger ones of over a pound each, to make the fishing experience more representative and enjoyable.

After lunch, Yue Feng received a report on his phone from the staff about the remaining fish stats and the new fish stocking situation.

After reading the report, Yue Feng lifted the glass in front of him, "The staff just sent in details about the new fish stocking! It’s pretty much in line with what we expected, around 5,300 pounds of new fish! Xiaomin, do you have confidence in this afternoon’s match?"

Since sitting at the table, Wang Xiaomin had been fiddling with his phone constantly; needless to say, he was engrossed with his girlfriend. Hearing Yue Feng calling him, Wang Xiaomin finally looked up.

"Huh? What did you ask, Brother Feng?"

Yue Feng rolled his eyes and teased, "Damn, are you planning to just chill after clinching first place in three rounds?"

"Uh, no, hehe, I was just so focused on my phone that I didn’t catch it!" Wang Xiaomin scratched his head sheepishly.

"Brother Feng just said they stocked over five thousand pounds of new fish and asked if you’re confident this afternoon!" Wang Zhen repeated quietly.

"The big crucians over a pound each? Of course, I’m confident, why wouldn’t I be! I’ve already prepared!"

"A red star, two hands ready! Either go all out with violent fly-kicks for a wild sweep, or switch to the rod I used to defeat Leng Xiaojun, with small hooks and thin line, for the most precise fish!" Wang Xiaomin declared confidently.

Yue Feng initially planned to give a couple of cautionary words, but hearing his confidence, decided to stay silent and motioned for him to sit down.

"Big crucians are new fish, so they’re not easy to fly-kick, right? I think slow and steady wins the race. The remaining fish in the pond are probably the old, weak, sick, and shallow hooks. This afternoon’s fish might not be that fast!" Tian Tian couldn’t hold back and added.

"Sister Tian might be right, I’m ready! For a competition allowing red worms, the entry barrier is quite low, so worst-case, I’ll just adjust on the fly! I’m pretty confident!" Wang Xiaomin smiled naively.

"Are you really planning to get married right after graduation with your girlfriend from Beijing? What about a house or car? Does your girlfriend’s family have money? Are they the wealthy Beijing locals?!" Tian Tian’s gossip fire was blazing.

"Uh, I think we can scrape enough together for a down payment on a house! Haven’t planned on buying a car for now! I’ll decide after I make some money.

After all, with competitions all the time, there’s little chance to drive! I don’t really know much about Taozi’s family, but her parents are doing business abroad, so they should be quite well-off! Honestly, I’m not sure!"

"Wow, you landed yourself a rich girlfriend, huh? Xiaomin, Xiaomin, who knew, not only are you great at fishing, but you’re also a pro at wooing girls, a true talent!"

"Uh, no... I didn’t pursue Taozi; she was the one who pursued me!"

Hearing this, Tian Tian was instantly petrified.
