Chapter 64 You've come here to get your goods!
The scene of the fishing competition.
The players are all in position.
Referees were on hand to supervise the scene around the pond, and spectators were gathered in layers to watch the spectacle.
Before the competition begins, there is half an hour to prepare the bait and bait the area.
You are not allowed to lower your rod at this time.
Everyone got busy.
Xu Ran was the same.
The player next to Xu Ran is named Liu Shan, and his account name is "Fishing Man Liu Laosan". Everyone calls him Liu Laosan.
He was explaining things to viewers during a live stream.
"To catch crucian carp, you must first learn how to bait the area. You can use a hand throw or a baiting device to create a bottom baiting area with fermented rice. Make the bait a little larger so that it forms a mist-like area at the bottom of the water, making it easier to catch fish."
"Then we need to pay attention to the rhythm. We need to change different baits to excite the fish underwater. The time should be kept at fifteen seconds. If there is no bite within fifteen seconds, we cast the line."
.....
While explaining to the audience, Liu Shan was busy preparing bait.
Xu Ran didn't even bait the pond. He just poured the bait into a basin, scooped some water from the pond mouth, rolled the bait into large balls, and then sat and waited.
Of course, when no one was looking, Xu Ran secretly added a fish attractant to the bait.
Based on his experience, because there are so many contestants and they are not far apart, there is plenty of bait in the water, so there is no need to bait the area.
I just casually scattered some fermented rice as bait.
Liu Shan was live-streaming over there, and his camera happened to be able to capture Xu Ran's image.
Clearly, everyone was very interested in Xu Ran's actions.
Hey Lao Liu, there's a newbie next to you who doesn't know anything. Can you teach him?
What's wrong with that young man? He's not in a hurry at all. Isn't he going to bait the hole?
[Probably a beginner, doesn't know these things, thinks he can catch fish just by holding a fishing rod!]
[Anyone can participate in this fishing competition? It's obvious this person is just there to make up the numbers!]
People in the comments section were discussing it.
Liu Shan's live stream is full of people from the fishing community, most of whom enjoy fishing.
Having met many fishing enthusiasts, they've come to know roughly what kind of people are good at it.
Xu Ran looks like a complete novice.
Liu Shan saw the comments on the screen and just smiled slightly. After all, Xu Ran was there, so he couldn't say anything directly.
Liu Shan then said:
"Everyone has their own way of fishing, and the results are unpredictable."
Upon hearing his words, the audience also laughed and commented:
[Just wait and see if he gets caught; with so many people fishing, it's going to be tough!]
[Keep this angle, and we'll see this guy's expression in a bit!]
[Haha, he's quite handsome, he must be so frustrated not being able to catch any fish!]
Liu Shan saw the comments, but didn't say anything more.
Then they busied themselves with preparing the bait and baiting the area.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Then, the organizers announced the official start of the competition.
The competition lasted four hours, and the winner was the one who caught the most crucian carp.
Each contestant has a large basin behind them. The fish they catch are put into the basin, and the referee supervises the process on-site. Contestants can also supervise each other.
Of course, in these kinds of fishing competitions, no one usually cheats, since so many people are watching.
As soon as the competition began, all the participants started to move.
Everyone pinched some bait, put it on the hook, made it into a ball, and then cast the fish out.
When fishing for crucian carp, there are specific requirements for both the fishing line and the hook.
The registration fee for this competition is not low, so the contestants who dare to participate are all truly talented.
Of course, the organizers also have some incentives, such as giving back 300 yuan for catching 30 or more fish, and giving some fish to those who catch less than 30.
You can take any fish you catch with you.
Everyone cast their fishing hooks.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the fish to float.
Liu Shan's live stream had a large audience. Because of the competitive nature of these live broadcasts, everyone loves to watch them, so many people came in.
There are currently over 1 people.
【here we go!】
[Keep it up, Lao Liu!]
[Strive to win the championship!]
Seeing the lively scene, a large group of people cheered for Liu Shan.
The barrage of comments was still scrolling when, at that moment, Xu Ran's fishing float next to Liu Shan moved.
Xu Ran calmly reeled in the line, removed the fish, and casually tossed it into the basin behind him.
The whole process was calm and collected; Xu Ran's expression didn't change much, as if it were a trivial matter.
Holy crap! That guy caught a fish! So fast!
[What incredible luck! Catching fish even without baiting!]
Old Liu, you can't even beat a newbie!
The newer you are, the luckier you are. I had a huge catch on my first fishing trip! But these are competitions for experts, and your luck will run out quickly!
The comments continued to scroll.
The moment that comment appeared, Xu Ran's fishing float moved again.
He continued to quickly reel in the line.
Because crucian carp are not very strong, there is no need to play them or fight them; you can just reel them in.
Xu Ran didn't even stand up; she remained seated.
"This medicine is amazing! It's increased my fishing success rate so much!"
"We need to catch as many fish as possible while there are plenty now."
"It's getting harder as we go on!"
Xu Ran thought to himself.
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, and this sense of competition made Xu Ran even more excited.
Participating in some activities occasionally feels quite enjoyable.
Very relaxing.
Beside Xu Ran, Liu Shan secretly glanced in their direction.
The competition had just begun, and he hadn't even made a single sale yet, when Xu Ran swished two fish onto the plate with a "bang."
Are you kidding me?
This luck is just too incredible.
Fortunately, Liu Shan's float moved at that moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reeled in his line.
He then explained to the viewers in the live stream:
"The organizers said that there were about 8000 fish in the pond. There were more fish at the beginning, so they were easier to catch."
"So it's normal to catch a few fish at the beginning by luck."
"When there are fewer fish later on, that's when your skills will truly be put to the test."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Liu Shan's words.
This makes a lot of sense.
Xu Ran didn't care about that; he was just focused on his own work.
Bait the fish, cast the line, and wait...
After about five seconds, the float began to bob up and down.
Next, reel in the fish, remove it from the water, and throw it into the basin.
Continue repeating this action.
At first, Liu Shan remained relatively calm.
Then he saw Xu Ran catch the third fish, the fourth fish, the fifth fish...
It doesn't stop at all!
He's numb.
What's going on?
You're here to get your goods?
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.
The scrolling speed of the comments is getting faster and faster.
[Is this guy that strong?]
Holy crap, less than 10 minutes and I've already caught several!
[Seven or eight already, now that's when you start cheating!]
[Old Liu, you'd better get moving!]
This is awesome!
Liu Shan saw the comments on the screen and felt anxious.
Sitting next to someone like that is pure torture!
If he's the only one catching fish while I'm not, I'd be a fool not to feel good about it!
He looked at the others, who were at a similar pace to him, pausing for ten seconds before casting again, and so far had caught about two or three fish.
But looking at Xu Ran again, I turned my head and saw that Xu Ran's fishing float was bobbing up and down again.
This means they've caught fish again!
It's infuriating!
So annoying!
Liu Shan really wanted to throw the fishing rod on the ground and say, "I'm leaving, I'm done playing."
But it's not working yet.
Since the live stream was on, we could only fish slowly.
It took four hours in total.
How am I going to survive this?!
