Chapter 581: A Fishing Contest with the Beauty? An Overwhelming Loss! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“All right then, we’ll meet in the South Sea. You can fly over!”
“That would be wonderful, thank you!”
After ending the call, the museum director chuckled to himself. By sending someone to accompany Luo Feng, they would be able to monitor his movements. Who knows, they might even be able to preemptively snatch up some treasures. Either way, it was all beneficial.
Luo Feng felt rather pleased after the call, knowing that another ravishing beauty was on her way.
Standing on the deck, Luo Feng glanced at the endless sea. He noticed Lin Yueting fishing nearby, so he picked up a rod and began to fish himself.
Lin Yueting glanced at him and advised, “You should use live bait. That way, you have a higher chance of catching a fish.”
“Live bait requires more effort; artificial bait is more convenient!” Luo Feng replied with a small smile, reeling in his line and casting out again.
She responded with a hum, nodding without any further comment.
Just then, Lin Yueting felt her rod suddenly go heavy. Almost reflexively, she hoisted the rod upwards, leaned back slightly, and reeled in the fish quickly with her left hand.
In no time, she had caught a sea fish around thirty centimeters long.
On the deck, the fish flapped and flopped. After removing the hook, Lin Yueting looked at Luo Feng with a triumphant smile, clearly suggesting that the effectiveness of live bait was superior.
“I think Old Luo has been bested by the beauty; what now?”
“Drop the ‘I think’; he has indeed been scorned!”
“This is quite the embarrassment!”
“Hahaha, what she means is, Old Luo, can you rise to the challenge?”
“Is Old Luo being called a novice? What would he say to that?”
“He already has four or five girlfriends; how can he be a novice?
“Why don’t you switch to live bait, Mr. Host?”
Luo Feng was quite surprised as well; he hadn’t expected her to reel in such a large fish.
Fishing, after all, was more about resources and luck than skill.
In other words, if you cast your bait where there are plenty of fish, you’ll have a higher chance of a catch. But even if you’re the most seasoned fisherman, if there are no fish, your skills are futile.
And then there’s luck. Even if the location of your cast has no fish, a whole school might arrive in no time. Isn’t that just luck?
Skill, in reality, doesn’t really matter.
What truly counts is using the right bait and choosing a wise casting spot.
These are the real skills involved.
“Do you need some live shrimp? I can’t use all of them myself.” Lin Yueting put the fish into a small bucket and walked over.
“No need, watch me. I’ll catch a big fish within three casts!” Luo Feng proclaimed.
Leaving her with that statement, he activated his level 1 scan. Only someone of Luo Feng’s immense reputation would dare use his system to fish. In the beginning, even a first-level scan was used sparingly, as it cost precious reputation points.
But now, with plenty of reputation, he used them freely.
Soon, the scan finished. Within a one-kilometer radius, there was a shining sea of gold, indicating a school of fish. Luo Feng aimed at that spot and cast his line.
Seeing him so obstinate, still using artificial bait, Lin Yueting couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mr. Luo, I go out to sea for work and often fish. Artificial bait isn’t very effective in the sea. It only increases the chance of catching small fish or shrimp.”
Just as her words fell, Luo Feng’s fishing rod suddenly became heavy. The rod bent from the force, forming an ecstatic arc.
“Hehe, what were you saying?” Luo Feng looked at her. “This doesn’t feel like a shrimp; shrimps don’t have that much strength.”
Lin Yueting was rendered speechless. Could artificial bait really catch a big fish?
“Holy moly, I’m speechless! Old Luo is turning the tables at the speed of light!”
“That was so fast! Just now, I felt Old Luo was being bested, but now it’s the other way around, right?”
“Old Luo’s skills are not bad; he got a bite right away!”
“Look at his casting pose; he certainly knows what he’s doing!”
Soon, a pompano weighing at least seven or eight pounds was slowly pulled up by Luo Feng, a big catch for its species.
After removing the hook, Luo Feng held up the fish and announced cheerfully, “I will feast well this noon! ” Then he cast out his rod again, right at the location of the school of fish, and said to Lin Yueting, ‘You should come over here; there seem to be a lot of fish!”
Just as he finished speaking, he felt his rod go heavy again. “Haha, it seems like I’ve caught another one!”
Under Lin Yueting’s astonished gaze, Luo Feng astonishingly reeled in three to five fish in succession.
Out of eight casts, he caught five; his rate of success was shockingly high.
It dumbfounded Lin Yueting. She often went out to sea and enjoyed fishing, but she had never seen anyone use artificial bait so successfully..
