Mi San was preparing to use the Meizhou Fishing Method to catch Carp today. After securing the Line Setup and wrapping on the Lead Skin, he cast his line, watching the Float sink to the bottom. He reeled it in to start trimming the Lead Skin, adjusting it to be level with the water without a hook.
He tied on a short line with double hooks, searching for the bottom to fish at three eyes deep, which was the most suitable depth. The Meizhou Fishing Method was ideal for bottom-feeding fish, especially those that fed with their mouths facing downward. With the Float adjusted and the Lead Weight resting on the Eight-shaped Ring at the bottom, two baits lay flat on the riverbed. This setup made it easier for downward-feeding fish to take the bait without disturbing the line, increasing his chances of a catch.
While waiting for Old Lin to adjust his Float, Mi San tossed in a few Wo Liao and took advantage of the time to prepare some Old Three Items. After mixing them well, he lit a cigarette. The Smart Rod would be launched tomorrow! Priced at two thousand eight hundred, there would be a promotional event offering a limited-time discount of 49%. Any higher price would affect sales! Approaching Old Lin, Mi San decided it was time to launch the Smart Rod.
Although this Rod's Price seemed low, there was no choice; to establish a presence quickly in the market, a low price was the most effective strategy. The more people used this Rod, the higher its value would become. If three thousand people in Sanya used this Rod, within three months, all Fishermen would know of its existence.
To stay updated on the latest Fishing Spots, at least two or three Fishermen would buy one Rod each. That number was quite significant. Using the Smart Rod required pairing it with the Xingpai Line Set Hook; otherwise, it would just be an Ordinary Rod. Additionally, users had to register an Account by scanning a code. Without a Rod, one couldn't scan; each Rod could only register one Account.
Once an Account was created, buying other Rods allowed users to link them to their original Account or register a new one. This required some thought; in the future, they needed long-term activities and a Points system. Catching one fish would earn one Point; accumulating enough Points could allow exchanges for items in-store and even refine regional rankings—this should work better.
Everything was set up for launch; Mi San asked Old Lin whether shipping would come from logistics warehouses or directly from the store. "Let's ship from the store first," Old Lin replied casually while casting his rod. "The logistics warehouse will take a few days to prepare; by then, their delivery might also be halted until after New Year."
Seeing Old Lin cast his rod, Mi San headed to his own Fishing Spot. He baited his hook and cast it out, ensuring his Float was set at three eyes deep. After waiting briefly, he raised his rod sharply to hook a fish—a sizable Cleaner Fish weighing over half a pound. Did this creature also enjoy Old Three Items?
Using his Control Fish Tool, he quickly unhooked it and tossed it behind him for some sunbathing before dealing with it later. He wondered which unscrupulous individual had introduced this species; it had taken over much of China! After changing bait, he continued casting.
With so many troublemakers around, there used to be plenty of fish in the Sanya River before 2000; since then, they had all but disappeared due to declining water quality. However, after starting conservation efforts over the past year or so, water quality had noticeably improved in recent times—though fish were still scarce!
Listening to Mi San's complaints, Kong Ge replied slowly and calmly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tian felt a bit overwhelmed. He had originally thought that this river was vast and could yield big catches. But according to Kong Ge, the fish in the Sanya River might not even be older than the new moon! What was the point of fishing then?
"Let’s pack up and head to Fu Wan Reservoir!" Shi Tian said, grabbing his rod and turning to Old Lin. "We need to get moving!"
As soon as they got into the car, Kong Ge chuckled, "I knew you guys would leave, so I waited here for you. How about that? Did I guess right?"
Not listening to good advice leads to immediate regret. Can’t we trust each other a little more? If you had listened to me earlier, you’d probably be catching fish by now.
This afternoon, he had already planned to tag along with Shi Tian. No matter where Shi Tian went fishing, he would follow. They had taken a taxi to get here, so they would definitely need another one to go. By sticking with them now, he wouldn’t even have to pay for the ride through the app; he’d still earn his share and have time to fish—what’s not to like?
Tourism in Sanya had been somewhat sluggish lately; over the past two years, things had become too sharp, scaring off tourists who were reluctant to come back. The ride-hailing business was also struggling.
"Careful with your words! Those two Sailfish I caught were indeed mine. The size was right, but the location was a bit off—I lost a few Hai Li in the process!"
"The Carp from Da Mao River wasn’t caught by me, but I did set up bait for it. I even saw that old man who caught it yesterday; he claimed it weighed twenty pounds, but it never surfaced."
"You caught a Four Hundred Pound Marlin? I think you’re better at bragging than fishing!" Kong Ge glanced at Shi Tian in the rearview mirror and felt like he had met his match today.
Kong Ge didn’t believe him, but Shi Tian shrugged it off with a smile. "How about we make a bet? Listen to me: this afternoon, I guarantee you’ll catch a fish over three pounds! If you do, you can cover our taxi fare in the evening. If not, I’ll pay you double for the fare—how does that sound?"
Time was running out, and Shi Tian couldn’t promise anything too big. However, catching a Carp over three pounds shouldn’t be too difficult; last time they visited Fu Wan Reservoir, there were plenty of Big Carp around.
"You doubt my skills? Three-pound fish? Who do you think you're looking down on? It should at least be over that weight! If I catch one over three pounds, I'll waive your fare!"
He always kept his rod ready in the trunk; a three-pound fish wouldn’t satisfy him!
Kong Ge calculated it all out: if he caught a fish weighing over three pounds, he wouldn’t charge for the fare anyway since he was just tagging along. A wild fish of that size was worth at least the fare.
If he didn’t catch anything, then it would be double the fare—no matter how he looked at it, it was a win-win situation!
