61: Chapter 61: Have Temper, Set Rules 61: Chapter 61: Have Temper, Set Rules Yue Feng casually handed one over, “This float is made in the sa place as the Peacock Feather Float I use myself; it cos in one standard size without variation.
With a lead weight of around 1.3 grams, it’s effective for crucian carp weighing from 50 to 500 grams—a universal killer!”
“The craftsmanship of the float seems pretty good, but the way you’re marketing it is way too lackluster, isn’t it?
What do you an it’s a ‘universal killer’ for crucian carp between 50 to 500 grams?
That’s just misleading!”
Lei Lei, although not stingy when buying things, has a straightforward nature.
Hearing Yue Feng’s description, he imdiately spotted a point of contention.
How should one interpret his words?
If one isn’t picky, any float can be used for fishing, but if you get down to the nitty-gritty, floats do have specific targets.
The amount of lead a float can carry, its size, and the shape of the float all affect certain aspects of its performance.
Looking closely, what Lei Lei said was indeed true.
The swimming speed, bait-eating habits, and the strength with which they take the bait differ significantly between larger and smaller crucian carp.
True crucian carp enthusiasts, the kind who really get into the hobby, are particular about the floats they use—smaller fish that weigh around 50 to 100 grams generally don’t use floats designed for 1.3 grams of lead, simply because the sensitivity would not be sufficient.
Yue Feng had already tested this model of float during wild fishing.
Without striving for an extrely refined line setup, its performance was nearly indistinguishable from his own Peacock Feather Float, which is why he dared to claim it was a ‘universal killer’ for crucian carp between 50 to 500 grams.
“Heh, don’t believe ?
We can go nearby and test it out!
Or you can take the float first, and if you find it unsatisfactory as long as it’s not damaged, you can return it to unconditionally!”
Lei Lei has many good points, but he tends to be overly earnest, which isn’t always a good thing.
Seeing Yue Feng’s challenge, he nodded and actually took one to examine closely.
Hearing the conversation about floats, Liu Fengnian stood up from beside the tea table, “Is this the float you ntioned in your livestream last ti?
How much?
I’ll take one!”
“120 yuan each!
There were only ten to begin with, and I’ve used one for testing, so there are only nine left here!
If we’re not careful, they might beco collector’s items!”
“You’re pricing them a bit steep, aren’t you?
Alu’s handcrafted reed floats are how much?
Over a hundred per float is the price of top-brand floats!” Lei Lei’s friend, Ma Run, muttered after hearing Yue Feng’s price.
Yue Feng wasn’t offended and repeated, “Whether new friends or old friends, the policy is the sa.
If you’re not convinced, take it and try it.
If you think the real battle performance isn’t worth it, send it back to , and I’ll refund your money.
No hard feelings!
However, that being said, this limited-edition item has its own rules in my shop—each person can only have one.
It’s ant for those with fate!
Even if it breaks or gets lost, if I have any in stock, I won’t sell a second one to the sa person!”
As Yue Feng spoke, there was a hint of defiance in his voice.
It was as if to say, “You don’t trust your buddy’s word?
Well then, here are my rules.” Yue Feng was very confident in the real-world performance and knew that when you have sothing good, you can afford to make demands!
No sooner had he finished speaking than a system notification sounded in Yue Feng’s mind!
Ding!
Congratulations on triggering the side quest[Temperantal Shop Owner]
[Temperantal Shop Owner]: Business should be conducted in a friendly manner, but having so spunk in certain situations isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
Task requirent: Earn the recognition of the anglers around you through real battle and sell at least five circulation-version handcrafted reed floats!
Task reward: Unknown.
Upon triggering the quest, Yue Feng imdiately accepted it.
“Hey!
Yue Feng, you’re even more stubborn than !
We didn’t even say much, and you’ve already set your rules!” Liu Fengnian felt the mood shifting and made a playful remark with a chuckle.
Having taken on the challenge, Yue Feng was even less inclined to back down.
“How about this, since we’re all free this afternoon?
Let’s go test it out in person!
We don’t need to go to Wangjiazhuang; let’s just pick the nearest small reservoir.
How about it?
Consider it a way to digest our al!”
With that suggestion from Yue Feng, the ten or so people in the shop imdiately agreed.
“Let’s go!
We’re free anyway, might as well have so fun!
I’m actually really curious to see just how good the performance can be!”
“I’ve got the Alu and Golden Eye floats in my float box, so I might as well give them a try and see if they are as miraculous as they say!”
Everyone loves to join in the fun when it’s about stirring up excitent, and they all began to clamor around, making preparations.
Only Wang ng didn’t join in; he simply pulled out 120 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yue Feng, then casually picked up a float.
“I don’t need to try!
I’ll take one first to avoid missing out later.
The way your float perford this morning was really good; I was watching!”
“Let’s go, let’s go, no more dawdling, let’s head to the small reservoir and test the floats!”
With just a call, Yue Feng locked up the shop, and everyone piled into a car, heading straight for the nearby Jiulongjian Reservoir.
When the group arrived at the small reservoir, it was surprisingly deserted, despite usually hosting a handful of anglers by midday.
Testing floats didn’t require much preparation—two handed over their fishing boxes, and Yue Feng used the shop’s Rice Wine to quickly bait a couple of spots and randomly opened a bit of bait to begin the experint.
Testing the sensitivity of floats is actually quite simple: select two floats with similar weight capacities, set them to almost the sa depth, and then fish to see how the floats perform.
Yue Feng effortlessly adjusted the weight the float could bear, set it for four depth marks, fished for two, and used ragworm bait ant for crucian carp, maintaining a state where the hook lightly touched the bottom when biting and slightly tilted on the floor at rest.
About ten minutes after baiting the spot, the reed float showed signs of activity.
The float began a slight up-and-down movent, within a range of less than half a mark.
“This bite is no good either, what’s with the half mark jitter, what kind of bite is that?” grumbled Ma Run.
Liu Fengnian and Yue Feng looked at each other and both smirked, saying nothing.
Yue Feng gently lifted the rod tip, raising the float before letting it return to the set depth.
This was teasing the float, a little angling trick that created a small movent in the bait underwater, making it easier to be detected and taken by a fish.
The float had barely returned to its fishing depth when it dunked violently, with a movent of at least a mark and a half!
Yue Feng flicked his wrist and set the hook—fish on!
“Holy shit!
Such a decisive bite!” exclaid the others, taken aback.
The fish below wasn’t large, and Yue Feng easily lifted it up; it was no more than barely two liang in weight.
“For such a sizeable fish to take the bait this way, there’s no problem, right?” Yue Feng did not hurry to unhook the fish but instead showcased it to everyone.
“Let’s try another cast!” Lei Lei was still not convinced and continued.
“Alright!”
It didn’t take long for the float to start wobbling again.
Yue Feng said, “Watch closely, it’s about to bite again!”
As expected, in less than five seconds, the characteristic double twitch of a crucian carp bite occurred.
This ti, because there was no teasing the float, the bait was in a more stable state underwater, which is why there was a tentative nibble by the crucian carp before the double twitch, that little nibble being the initial bite.
