Chapter 901: Chapter 884: That Medicinal Wine from Yue Feng Is Brutal

“What is this…”

Zhang Xufei watched as the captain so decisively damaged the float, feeling uneasy all over.

You know, Qiu Guoyun usually treasures these floats very much. Especially these few old model long-body floats in the float box, which are no longer in production.

Qiu Guoyun, satisfied with the look of the modified float, said, “Let me adjust it and give it a try! Now is not the time to feel sorry for floats. We’re about to fall into a pit, who cares if the ear can stay hooked or not!”

After leaving this sentence, Qiu Guoyun picked up the float and spare rod and turned to leave.

In no time, Qiu Guoyun came back. The float’s rapid descent to the bottom was effective, although without a steel foot, it flipped over slightly slower, but it was far better suited for today’s fish conditions than the long olive-shaped comprehensive float currently in use.

“Let’s just use it like this for now; every inch we gain counts. Hopefully, only two rookie anglers remain at Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, and we still have a chance to win!” Qiu Guoyun gazed at the field, speaking softly.

Ten minutes later, the third round of the competition ended, and Qiu Guoyun went on stage with the improved float and fishing setup.

As soon as he got on stage, Qiu Guoyun took out a bottle of white powder from his pocket, poured the wet groundbait back into the basin, and generously sprayed a large amount of the powder, quickly filling the air with a faintly fishy, sweet aroma reminiscent of seafood coming off the stove.

Beside him, Zhao Ran, replacing Wang Xiaomin, caught a whiff of the faint scent, causing him to glance sideways.

Zhao Ran was very knowledgeable about fishing aids, but he was sure that he had never encountered this scent before. Given that Qiu Guoyun used it, it certainly wasn’t just to scare people. Zhao Ran instinctively became more cautious.

During the third round, Wang Xiaomin expanded the lead to 14 fish, but Zhao Ran didn’t become blindly optimistic. Instead, he continued using the previous fishing method while constantly observing Qiu Guoyun’s situation next door.

Once on stage, Qiu Guoyun adjusted the bait and immediately replenished the previous fishing spots with bait.

In less than five minutes, a strange scene appeared: small fish bubbles started rising densely around several fishing spots of the Tiansheng Fishing Tackle team.

Whatever this unknown drug was, it actually activated the spots!

So, the situation on the field became tense.

Qiu Guoyun’s fishing speed increased significantly, catching up by one fish.

Catching up by two fish.

Catching up by three fish.

…

In less than five minutes, Qiu Guoyun closed the gap to just seven fish.

It could be said that the advantage Wang Xiaomin gained in the last round was almost completely wiped out this round. The only difference was those unknown powders.

Seeing the promising situation about to be overturned, Zhao Ran became anxious too.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind until it finally landed on the medicinal wine.

This trick was Yue Feng’s secret treasure; not only was the self-use version highly concentrated, but it was also extremely stable. It was the small drug that every team member had to add when opening bait, and it never disappointed.

If they needed a small drug to turn the tide at this moment, then the medicinal wine would be it!

The next second, Zhao Ran stood up, took out the medicinal wine from the fishing box, and unscrewed the nozzle without holding back, pouring the remaining half bottle directly into the loose powder, spreading his fingers to quickly stir it evenly.

The mellow scent of the medicinal herbs mixed with the wine aroma quickly spread over the fishing spot. Zhao Ran didn’t care about any of this and just buried his head and used the loose powder to create a circle of spots.

Especially for the spot near the boundary line of the adjacent fishing spot, Zhao Ran stood up and cast his rod, creating the spot as close as possible within the limit.

“Isn’t it a battle of drugs? Brother, I’ll take you on! Did you really think we didn’t have a trump card? Let’s see who’s tougher!”

Seeing this scene, the three young apprentices in Yue Feng’s team stayed silent, and the atmosphere in the rest area was somewhat tense, you could even hear Wang Zhen’s deliberately suppressed breathing.

Yue Feng was the first to break the situation, grinning calmly: “What’s the matter? Are you all nervous? Two of the three have already gone up for a round. Haven’t you developed this kind of psychological resilience yet?”

Xue Kai: “Ran is going all out! He poured the entire medicinal wine from the fishing box!”

Yue Feng: “So what? Fishing has always been about plans changing rapidly! You think the Tiansheng team will sit idly by? Fish have been caught until now, and these operations are all within normal tactics!”

“Is adding so much medicinal wine also normal? Don’t you usually tell me that a few drops are enough?” Wang Xiaomin couldn’t help but ask back.

Yue Feng: “Small drugs, additives, in competitive matches, can be considered a leverage that might change the fish condition, especially common small drugs with wide-spectrum efficacy!

Now it’s a do-or-die situation, and other conditions have reached their limits, so the only adjustable thing left is the additives!

When the opponent swapped players and temporarily adjusted their bait, it had a noticeable effect, so Ran’s kind of desperate coping strategy is correct!

As for the medicinal wine, it won’t destroy the spots. I’ve tested it with Ran at Star Moon Lake, and when using it to open bait, the fish still eat it all the same. It’s just that the price is high, and the effective fish-attracting component concentration overflows a bit, causing some wastage!”

“So if we encounter a tricky situation in the future, we can also use it like this? As long as the other additives are appropriate, they can be used the same way?” Wang Xiaomin continued to ask.

“Yes! In extreme cases, ragworm can be directly dipped in powder or liquid small drugs can be used! Sometimes, when the fish’s condition is poor, maybe the sensory threshold is relatively high, this method might actually stimulate them to open their mouths!

This is a method of using small drugs as a last resort. When all other tricks are used up, you can try this!”

“Oh!” Wang Xiaomin and the other two brothers responded together, three people deep in thought.

After Zhao Ran’s actions, Qiu Guoyun’s newly gained momentum was quickly suppressed.

The countless fish stars rapidly dispersed more than half, but on the contrary, in the several spots in front of Zhao Ran, fish stars gathered in large numbers again. In a short while, they even started forming visible schools!

At this point, the effect differences between the two on bait and additives were clearly distinguished.

Qiu Guoyun saw this scene and felt a sudden panic in his heart!

This was no longer merely about winning or losing this match, but the fact that the Magic Potion that his team acquired at high cost was easily suppressed, with the biggest trump card not having any effect at all.

In short, his mindset collapsed completely.

Old Qiu, somewhat unwilling, re-added to the dosage and continued casting to form spots to gather fish, but the fish that escaped seemed to have taken root in Zhao Ran’s spots and never enticed back.

With so many bottom fish, Zhao Ran’s catch quickly turned the tables,

One fish, two fishes, three fishes! By the end of the fourth round, the gap had widened to 22 fish.

The victory expanded once again!

The match referee reminded them again that it was time to change players at the end of the fourth round, but Qiu Guoyun seemed as if he’d lost his soul, not responding immediately,

It wasn’t until his teammate came on to take over his rod and patted his shoulder that he dejectedly stepped off. After the match was over, his teammates felt like the captain’s whole spirit and energy had been drained.

“Old Qiu? Are you alright? We lost, so what, there’s still the mixed fishing! We still have a chance!” Guo Limin, noticing Qiu Guoyun’s unusual state, was particularly anxious.

In competitions, the captain is the soul of a team. If Qiu Guoyun gets knocked down in just one match, the morale sinking alone already spells defeat in one blow.

“That medicinal wine Yue Feng has, damn, it’s ruthless! The spots were activated, and he directly snatched the fish schools away!” After a long time, Qiu Guoyun exhaled deeply, with a tone full of dissatisfaction.
