Chapter 379: Chapter 230: Severe Illness Requires Strong Medicine
Mixed Pond Area C Number 01!
Seeing the number 01, some would immediately associate it with the big edge position.
Indeed, Area C Number 01 is the big edge, but not the favorable big edge.
On the day of the competition, the entrances of Pond One and Two were secured with ribbons.
The Number 01 position in this mixed pond is right at the mandatory path of the entrance.
With forty people competing simultaneously, they all pass by the Number One entrance as they enter, creating noises from footsteps, moving fishing boxes, rod bags, etc., which significantly impact the fish situation in this area.
If it’s Pond Number One with small crucian carp, this situation is somewhat better. After all, the fish are small and numerous, schooling fish are relatively braver,
once fishing stabilizes for a while, the fish might swim to the big edge area, making the impact less noticeable, and due to geographical advantages, the big edge might actually come into force during the latter half.
However, the mixed carp here is different, these fish are old residents of the pond, their size might not be large, but their age is assuredly not young.
This type of fish is extremely sensitive to noise, and after the first match ended, the guy at the Number One fishing spot caught less than ten kilograms, the most disadvantageous big edge, bar none.
Now, situation’s changed, in the first match Zhang Yang performed remarkably, surely securing some points, ready to sail through the second match, but his wings were clipped before taking off.
"Zhang Yang, what’s your number?" The referee, who knew Zhang Yang, noticed his half-second delay after opening the number tag and curiously asked.
Zhang Yang’s mouth curled up into a smile worse than crying, "Mixed Pond C01! Damn it, this round’s going to be tough!"
The referees are seasoned veterans, how could they not know the big edge situation at the entrance position? Upon hearing Zhang Yang report the number, the referee, Old Li, also showed regret, he might as well have drawn the worst position in Pond Two, this one’s risky.
"Fish situation isn’t great near the entrance, might as well give it a try, maybe something can be done?" Old Li advised.
Zhang Yang nodded, "Let’s try it, drawing this big edge, my heart sank halfway! Please go ahead, I’m off to prepare for entry!"
"Alright!"
...
Getting off the signing stage, Zhang Yang hoisted his fishing box and headed toward the entrance.
While walking, Zhang Yang’s mind raced with thoughts.
What to do?
If this round ends at the bottom, the overall score will surely suffer.
Then all the bragging he did will backfire!
Why not give it a shot, treat a dead horse like a living one?
Damn it! Go for it!
Sitting back and doing nothing is not Zhang Yang’s style, even in the most disadvantaged position, Zhang Yang never gave up.
After completing the draw, he quickly queued for rod inspection, and Zhang Yang entered the competition field.
His fishing position was right at the entrance, saving quite a bit of walking, setting down his fishing box and rod bag, Zhang Yang quickly got busy.
For naturally flawed fishing positions, relying on conventional fishing strategies is definitely hopeless, severe conditions require strong measures.
Based on this judgment, the first thing Zhang Yang did after setting down his fishing box was to take out the prepared loose feed while also retrieving the small medicine from the box.
The conventional small medicine concentration is definitely inadequate, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, directly poured half a bottle of barley sweet potato syrup into an empty basin, followed by a third of a bottle of fruit acid, a whole bottle of brown sugar, and two caps of herbal wine!
After pouring all small medicines, Zhang Yang added around 400ml of water and painstakingly diluted the high-concentration, viscous small medicine, as the concentration was too high, the scent was very strong, already somewhat pungent.
The loose feed was prepared before entry, naturally, it couldn’t easily adjust the water ratio, otherwise, problems like excessive water ratio and localized clumping might occur.
Such a small impact is not an issue for Zhang Yang, as he casually opened the fishing box, took out a pack of Snowflake Powder, and poured it in without hesitation.
Snowflake Powder, this state bait, has excellent water absorption capabilities; poured into the bait basin, it was quickly stirred and absorbed all the water from the small medicine, Zhang Yang slightly kneaded to feel the water ratio state, slightly adjusted it with a bit of extra water, then poured the flavor-enhanced Snowflake Powder into the loose feed.
He spread his fingers quickly to mix, soon the Snowflake Powder was evenly blended into the loose feed.
The good old yellow bait, due to Zhang Yang’s temporary adjustment, had its flavor increased by at least three times.
With the addition of Snowflake Powder, the originally decent loose feed became more fluffy and light.
Zhang Yang casually grabbed a handful to feel the state, once confirmed, he satisfactorily put it into the bait box.
The pungent small medicine scent spread far, almost every angler entering behind Zhang Yang paused slightly, even experienced small medicine players in competitive fishing frowned at such a smell.
Yet the mastermind behind this, Zhang Yang, sat confidently on his fishing box, all preparations completed, awaiting the start of the second match.
Preparations concluded, soon the referee pulled the trigger on the starting gun.
The second match officially began!
With a do-or-die mindset, Zhang Yang’s fishing strategy was exceptionally simple once underway.
Alongside the bait box, at least three pounds of loose feed were prepared, as the competition started, Zhang Yang didn’t even bother with Triangle Cannon, grasped a handful of lead to bait, and within minutes, filled the entire bait box with loose feed into the fishing spot.
The first ten minutes of fishing, Zhang Yang didn’t rest a bit, putting all the pre-prepared super concentrated loose feed into the spot.
