604: Chapter 591: Tycoon Enthusiast 604: Chapter 591: Tycoon Enthusiast Yue Feng chuckled, “So ti ago, I applied for two species’ world records on the North Arican World Fishing Association website, and the Aricans sent a challenge, inviting to a fishing competition in Miami!”
“Not to jinx you, but I’ve been to Miami, and the fishing atmosphere there is no worse than back ho.
You’d better take this seriously!” Gu Qingtian said with a laugh, reminding him.
“I’ve seen all their tricks before, they’re just kids!
Wawa, just reply to them as I instructed, and with that, this joyful decision is made!” Yue Feng said without any hesitation.
Seeing Yue Feng so confident, Gu Qingtian didn’t say much, just pursed his lips and shook his head, his gesture and expression seed to say, buddy, that decision of yours was a bit rash!
Authorized by Yue Feng, Wawa wrote a reply in English and also personally translated the gist of it for Yue Feng.
After confirming there were no omissions, Yue Feng then responded to Zhang Lin’s email.
What Yue Feng didn’t know then was that so fishing competitions are not about skill or luck, but about pure physical strength!
If it weren’t for the strong support of the System God, Yue Feng’s overconfident acceptance of the challenge would have backfired.
Of course, that’s a story for another ti, let’s leave it at that for now.
…
That night, after dinner, Yue Feng was about to return to his room as usual when he was stopped by Brother Gu.
“Yue, don’t rush off, there’s still a task ahead!”
Yue Feng: “Huh?
What task?”
“We are heading out to sea to the island early tomorrow morning.
Co with to get familiar with the equipnt and lend a hand, replacing the old line assemblies and such!”
“Sure!” Playing with the fishing gear and equipnt, Yue Feng was quite enthusiastic.
He nodded and agreed to the task.
“Follow to the basent.
All the equipnt we’re using tomorrow is stored there!”
Yue Feng: “I’ve brought so of my gear too.
Shall we sort that out as well?”
“Bring it along.
Better to get it organized now than to have issues with it tomorrow!”
Yue Feng nodded, dragged two cases of sea fishing equipnt from his room, and went downstairs with Gu Tianqing.
Upon reaching the basent, Yue Feng saw rows of fishing rod racks resembling those in a fishing gear shop, and he was utterly stunned.
On the racks were neatly displayed fishing rods ranging from small, soft-tuned lure rods that prioritize hand-feel, to heavy-duty boat rods with tips thicker than a thumb.
There were rods of different models, colors, and brands.
You could find a high-end sea fishing brand that’s well-known here, and so even had a complete set.
“Damn!
So many rods!
That’s over the top, Brother Gu!” exclaid Yue Feng, unable to hide his surprise.
Gu Tianqing smiled, “What’s so surprising?
Don’t think that only Taiwan Fishing is sophisticated.
When it cos down to serious sea fishing, the intricacies are no less complex than Taiwan Fishing!
What we see now is the gear I use more often.
There’s another storeroom in the back with so retired but undamaged gear.
The staff here sotis borrow the old gear from the back when they go out to sea to fish during their vacation!”
“Aweso!” Yue Feng gave a thumbs-up, totally convinced.
“Tomorrow we are heading to Karyang Island, targeting Japanese jack mackerel and various types of grouper.
The Japanese jack mackerel is very powerful, so we need to equip slightly heavier and super-hard rods and reels.
Do you have any suitable rods among the ones you brought?” Gu Qingtian asked Yue Feng a professional question about the equipnt.
Yue Feng nodded and opened the fishing rod case, pointing to one of the super hard-tuning gun-handle lure rods inside.
Gu Qingtian glanced at the equipnt in the box and found that indeed, as Yue Feng had said, a variety of thicknesses and flexibility were present, but in a hobbyist’s eyes, these items were all beginner-level, and Gu Qingtian wasn’t impressed.
After checking the first box, Gu Qingtian casually opened the second one, which contained several different models of fishing reels.
They were all selected for their affordable prices and good value for the money, and Gu Qingtian wasn’t impressed with these either.
Gu Qingtian, “Now I believe you really don’t have any sea fishing experience!
This equipnt is clearly for soone who’s just getting into sea fishing.
You didn’t borrow them from a friend and have to return them, did you?”
Yue Feng shook his head, “No, I bought them all from fellow tradesn, so have been used once or twice, and a few haven’t even touched water!”
Gu Qingtian grabbed a bunch of rods casually, “Regardless of whether they’re new or old, I’ll decide, leave them all here for the staff to use.
I’ll give you a good set!”
“Isn’t that a bit much?”
“It’s just a set of gear, what’s the big deal?
Are we brothers going to split hairs like this?
I give my brother a set of rods, and you still plan on paying ?
That’s not how friends do things!”
“Uh, okay then, thanks a lot, Big Brother Gu!”
Having said that, Yue Feng felt it was improper to continue to insist.
Although his identity as Long Ge’s friend was fake, over the recent ti they spent together, the two had gotten along quite well.
Soon, Gu Qingtian picked out a whole set of new rods with different tuning and purposes for Yue Feng from his own collection of fishing rods.
One of the rods, for so reason, still had its price tag attached.
Yue Feng glanced at it and damn, he didn’t recognize the English na, but the price tag below it was glaring.
Over four thousand US dollars, converting to more than twenty thousand RMB.
This single rod was nearly worth as much as all of Yue Feng’s sea fishing gear combined.
Once the rods were sorted, next ca the fishing reels, treated the sa as the rods.
Except for the upgraded model of the Red Spider which Big Brother Gu had kept as a classic, all the other reels were passed over, replaced with Shimano’s top-end fishing reel Stella.
Then ca spooling the new reels with line and selecting various lures.
Big Brother Gu could comnt very professionally on each product, and it was evident he had done extensive research.
The quality of a top-level aficionado was thus glimpsed.
By the ti the two had finished picking out the equipnt and lures for the next day, it was already half-past nine in the evening, and Yue Feng returned to his room with mixed feelings, took a shower, and went to bed early, falling asleep quickly.
In his dream, Yue Feng caught a several-hundred-kilogram tuna with the brand new top-quality fishing rod, causing another sensation in his live stream.
…
The next morning, just as it was starting to get light, Yue Feng was woken up by a knock on the door.
It was five o’clock, ti to get up and gather to set off!
Doll and Su Cheng also looked like they hadn’t woken up yet; the three of them took so personal items and luggage and boarded the largest boat.
The voyage from their private residence to Karyang Island took about three hours, and just past nine o’clock, Yue Feng and his company arrived at their destination.
Gu Qingtian introduced, “Here we are!
Karyang Island is an amazing island.
There are no hotels or facilities here, and in principle, they don’t host foreign tourists for overnight stays.
But that’s not a problem for us.
I bought a large house from a local on this island, and I had soone co over to clean it yesterday.
Co on, let’s go take a look!”
