Ding!

Congratulations on earning 1 “Gold Edition Wild Fishing Companion”.

“Gold Edition Wild Fishing Companion”: 500g of Gold Edition Wild Fishing Companion, when appropriately added into bait or feed, increases the probability of attracting and catching fish by 30%, with a usage amount of 0.1%.

Using this feed and hand food for fishing can occasionally catch larger fish.

It also works well with farmed fish.

Ding!

Congratulations on additionally gaining 1720 points!

The Gold Edition Wild Fishing Companion is a higher-level bait additive, requiring less quantity for better effects, definitely a powerful prize.

Besides, these extra points were also a bit of a surprise for Yue Feng.

The task rewards didn’t mention any points, but unexpectedly, he received so much after turning in the task.

He only caught about ten or twenty pounds more fish than usual; could it be calculated at 100 points per pound?

Previously, he was worried about not having enough points to learn skills, but now, with the 1700 points awarded by the system, Yue Feng’s total points had reached 2500.

Dammit, no chance for a draw this time, but let’s check the basic items refreshed in the store first!

Luckily, today’s basic items included both “Basic Sliding Fish” and “Basic Trolling” skills, being the most fundamental skills, they were priced low.

1200 per book, he bought both for just 2400 points without hesitation.

With a thought, both books were learned, and the knowledge of sliding fish and trolling filled Yue Feng’s mind.

Ding!

Congratulations, host has learned all Basic Fishing Skills, automatically triggering the advanced task: “Securing a Victory in a Fishing Competition”.

“Securing a Victory in a Competition”: As a reasonably skilled fisherman, how can you not have remarkable achievements?

Task requirement: Participate in a small-scale fishing competition with no fewer than twenty people and secure the first place!

Task reward: Intermediate advanced skills, random reward!

Countdown: 240 hours.

What the heck?

Learning all the Basic Fishing Skills triggered an advanced task, and what’s more annoying is that this task is compulsory and has a countdown.

Although fishing is a popular sport, competitions aren’t just available whenever you want, and truthfully, Yue Feng had absolutely no confidence in winning a fishing competition in ten days.

After a brief moment of confusion, Yue Feng started to analyze this task.

The task requirements were detailed, a minimum of twenty participants was okay, but Yue Feng racked his brains and couldn’t think of such a competition nearby.

It was really because Yue Feng was a loner, overly uninformed in this area.

Perhaps ask big brother Liu?

Yue Feng quickly thought of Liu Fengnian, whom he knew quite well from the local fishing circles — big brother Liu was much more familiar with these matters than Yue Feng was.

Soon, Yue Feng dialed Liu Fengnian’s number.

“Hello?

Yue, how was the fishing today?

Are you home yet?”

“Oh, haha, the catch was pretty good, and thanks to the spot you recommended, it was much better than the Wangjiazhuang river section!” Yue Feng hurriedly thanked him.

“Oh, that’s great.

Is there anything else you’re calling for?”

“Yeah, actually, there is something.

I was wondering if there are any small- to medium-scale fishing competitions nearby?”

“Fishing competition?”

“Yes, I’ve been fishing for quite some time now. freewebnøvel.coɱ

I feel like wild fishing isn’t improving my skills much anymore, so I wanted to find myself a challenge!”

“There isn’t an official fishing competition, but if you want to challenge your fishing skills, you could try the commercial ponds!”

“Commercial ponds?”

“Yes!

It’s pretty much the same format as a competition, just without prizes, and the spring fishing season is almost over anyway.

The Black Pits around us have already started opening up.

Personally, I think, if you want to take your little store to the next level, commercial ponds and Black Pits are a great direction!”

As soon as Liu Fengnian mentioned this, Yue Feng got the idea—he remembered that the advanced task mentioned organizing a small fishing competition for more than twenty people.

Wouldn’t a commercial pond count as a competition too?

Maybe it could work.

“Is there a suitable pond to try out nearby?

I know a bit about fishing, but I don’t have experience with commercial ponds.

I’ll have to rely on you to teach me!”

“The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, there’s a Crucian Carp pit opening that a few of us were planning to go to.

How about joining us?

The announcement has already been made, 180 tickets, 50 pounds per person!”

Hearing that a fishing session was nearly two hundred bucks, Yue Feng felt a bit of a pinch.

However, thinking about the advanced task, he let it go.

“Send me the announcement later, I’ll look it over and get back to you, okay?”

“Sure!

I’ll send it to you right away!”

“Alright, let’s leave it at that!”

After hanging up, Yue Feng didn’t wait for Liu Fengnian to send the announcement; he immediately communicated with the system through his thoughts.

System system, does fishing in commercial ponds and Black Pits count as small fishing competitions?

[Any fishing scenario involving competition for fish catches and ranking of those catches counts as a fishing competition!

That includes Black Pit fishing scenarios!]

Having received a satisfying answer, Yue Feng finally felt at ease.

However, another problem quickly popped into Yue Feng’s mind.

The only ace up his sleeve right now was the Crucian Carp formula and the Golden Edition Wild Fishing Companion.

Yue Feng had never tried them in commercial ponds and didn’t know how effective they would be.

He knew that to complete the mission, he had to win the championship, not just participate randomly and hope to fulfill it 100%.

But he had to go to grasp any chance to understand and perhaps learn from the experience.

Yue Feng understood this logic and, after briefly considering it, decided he would study it!

Just then, the announcement for the opening of Dong Family’s fishing site also came through on WeChat.

Yue Feng started to look it over carefully.

The location of the pit wasn’t too far from Yue Feng’s small store.

He checked his phone’s navigation and saw it was less than 18km away, so going by scooter wouldn’t be a problem.

The fee was slightly different from what Liu Fengnian had mentioned; the formal fishing fee noted in the announcement was 200 bucks, with stealth fishing at 100, suggesting there might be some discount for regulars or groups.

Here’s a bit more about what formal and stealth fishing mean.

Formal fishing means fishing on the day they stock the fish.

Stealth fishing, unrelated by terminology, refers to fishing after the formal event has ended at a lower cost, targeting the remaining fish.

The exact origins of these terms are unclear, but they are commonly understood by players in commercial ponds and Black Pits across the country, despite being completely unrelated to their literal meanings.

Dong Family’s fishing site had thirty-six fishing spots in total, stocking two thousand pounds of Jiangsu Crucian Carp weighing around six, seven, or eight pounds each.

The charge was four bucks per pound of fish, and taking a large amount of fish away wasn’t allowed.

The fishing rules were fairly simple: before starting, everyone must uniformly cast their bait, help in netting fish was allowed, as well as substituting fitters, but digging the baited spot was forbidden.

Digging the baited spot is a common term in Black Pits, also known in some areas as needling or nest jabbing.

Essentially, it means fishing at someone else’s baited spot without their permission, which is a highly uncivil and unethical habit in Black Pits.

It often leads to conflicts between fishers, and even physical altercations, and is strictly prohibited in most Black Pits.

Having understood the general rules, Yue Feng had made up his mind,

Go for it, stir up a wave!
