A few old gentlemen were having a great time, but unfortunately, Sun Quanshun couldn't fish. Lacking resources, he could only take a few old men around to look for Heikeng. Life at Heikeng wasn't easy; the old gentlemen encountered some skilled opponents and ended up being completely shut down.
Giving up was not an option. At the very least, they had to find a way to turn the situation around! "Hey, young man, what bait are you using? Can I borrow some?" After sitting for a while without any bites, Old Kong approached someone and asked.
The group was fishing in one spot, but they hadn't caught anything while the other side was reeling in fish non-stop. It had to be a bait issue! If they could just get their hands on that bait, with their years of experience, they could silence that young man and take revenge for being shut down!
"Not much left, but I'll give you half to try," he said. Respecting the elderly was a traditional virtue. Seeing the old men he had silenced made Liu Lei feel a bit guilty.
As a professional player, he felt bad for dragging innocent old men into this situation. Since buying the rod and line setup from Old Gao last time, his luck had actually improved quite a bit. After several competitions, he hadn't won any prizes, but his rankings had noticeably improved.
With significant improvements in both skills and equipment, it was time to gain some recognition. Recently, Pan Hei Keng had become popular, so he decided to follow suit. After producing several videos—especially catching a few giant fish weighing forty to fifty pounds—he and his friends gained some fame. Seeing the good results, Liu Lei wouldn't miss this opportunity and began fishing at various spots.
Having silenced a few old men today gave him enough material for this video. To prevent any backlash from haters, he planned to include some clips showing respect for the elderly; this would ensure the footage was solid.
The term "mixing bait" was still quite popular in the fishing community. However, it often came with a lot of eye-rolling; it was seen as deceitful! Liu Lei had no choice; he hadn't taken any sponsorships yet and could only maintain an air of mystery. If he revealed his exclusive recipe, how would he secure future endorsements?
After Liu Lei handed over some bait to Old Kong, just as Old Kong was about to leave, Old Wen blocked his path. "You must have come from Sanya!" He pinched a bit of bait from Old Kong's hand and sniffed it before frowning and leaning closer.
The unique scent of the bait puzzled him; he couldn't figure it out. So he decided to get closer and see if he could gather more information. When Old Wen mentioned Sanya, Liu Lei was taken aback and asked curiously, "How did you know I came from Sanya?"
Old Wen's ability to guess where Liu Lei was from surprised him. He thought he had gained some fame but didn't expect it to reach this old man's ears! Did he really want to be famous? Was he trying to surpass Heavenly Emperor He? Did every fisherman know his name now?
As Old Wen approached Liu Lei and examined the bait bag on the ground, he looked stunned. This young man had brought pre-mixed bait in self-sealed bags without any packaging; his chances of figuring out Liu Lei's recipe were likely gone. Such high-quality bait meant that the young man wouldn't share his secrets!
"You can only buy that rod in Sanya; it's not sold anywhere else!" After saying this to Liu Lei, Old Wen snatched a piece of fish bait from Old Kong's hand and turned back toward his fishing spot.
Hearing Old Wen's words didn’t elicit much reaction from Liu Lei; he had bought this rod from Old Gao. But then it hit him—something felt off! Old Gao had specifically said that this rod wouldn’t be sold; it was meant for his own use!
Thinking of this, Liu Lei began to examine the several old men with their fishing rods. Each of these rods had different designs, yet they all shared the same shape, clearly indicating they were from the same brand!
The fact that these old men could recognize his rod at a glance, and mentioned that this type of rod could only be bought in Sanya, suggested that they had the means to acquire such a rod themselves. If they could afford this kind of rod, it implied that their rods were of even better quality than his!
With this thought in mind, Liu Lei lost interest in fishing and directly put away his rod. He picked up the half piece of bait from his bait tray and walked over to the old men with a smile. "Gentlemen, I've grown tired of fishing today, and I still have some bait left. If you don't mind, you can take it!"
Old Kong and Old Wen had already received some bait, so Liu Lei's target was now Old Liu and Yi Laotou. Compared to the two, Yi Laotou's technique seemed a bit clumsier, making him an easier target for Liu Lei's plan.
As he divided the bait, Liu Lei stood behind Yi Laotou and carefully observed the rod in his hand. The trademark on it was identical to his own rod, though there were slight differences in design. Without catching any fish, he couldn't judge the quality of Yi Laotou's rod.
"Old man, I have fish in my spot. Our rods are the same length; why don't you come over and fish there?" With his target set, Liu Lei began to make his move, leaning closer to Yi Laotou and speaking softly.
Upon hearing this, Yi Laotou's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up, grabbing his rod and fishing box before heading over to Liu Lei's spot.
As Yi Laotou got up, Liu Lei quickly stood up to help him. "Old man, let me hold your rod for you. I know the water is deep over there; I'll adjust your float for you!"
