Chapter 285 - 126: Fishing Gift Pack (Part 3)
He pulled out the Dagger and sliced open the packaging cloth, opening the side of the cardboard box. A pile of small boxes of varying sizes came into view.
Chen Zhou froze for a moment, rubbed his eyes, his voice full of disbelief.
"Could this really be a grand gift package?
No way!"
He couldn't believe that after receiving three lousy rewards, the fourth could produce something good. He quickly took out the smaller boxes inside the large packaging box, and opened them one by one to check.
Upon seeing, this reward was indeed a grand gift package, and not just any package, but a "Fishing Gift Package" focused specifically on fishing.
The largest item among them was a fishing box.
This fishing box was not simple; it had a handle for carrying, a foldable backrest and cushion, a large umbrella inserted on top to shield from wind and rain, and four small wheels at the bottom for easy pushing.
Opening the lid, inside was a storage area for various fishing gear components, with some accessories also included.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhou only knew how to discuss curious topics in fishing forums or mock anglers who returned empty-handed, and knew nothing about professional fishing equipment, not even what these few accessories were for. He could only plan to figure it out slowly later.
Of course, the design of this fishing box was not excellent, belonging to a kind of product made multifunctional just for the sake of being multifunctional, with each feature just passable.
Sitting on that plastic cushion was not comfortable at all; it even slightly hurt his behind.
The foldable backrest lacked a leather cushion, and the connection points were not very stable; folding it up revealed noticeable looseness in the structure.
Someone with Chen Zhou's physique wouldn't dare to press their body onto it completely, for fear of breaking it.
Most importantly, the internal space of this fishing box was less than 110cm long; it wouldn't be able to hold a big fish if one were caught.
...
Besides the fishing box and detachable umbrella, this fishing gift package also contained a double-layered rod bag, three fishing rods, a landing net, several boxes of fishing line, a keep net bag, a keep net, some bait, floats, and some accessories whose uses Chen Zhou would need to research himself.
Although there were many items in the gift package, they all seemed not very high end, even exuding a cheap feeling.
Whether it was the plastic cushion of the fishing box, the thin steel umbrella shaft, the artificial leather-smelling keep net bag, or the flimsy fishing rods, they all silently told their value.
Chen Zhou estimated that, rounding up, this gift package should only be worth seven or eight hundred yuan, perhaps altogether not as valuable as some anglers' single fishing rod.
If exaggerated, these rods' durability was likely far inferior to his self-made ironwood long pole.
But honestly speaking, these three rods were hollow, much more lightweight compared to his long pole that could be described as an iron club.
Though the quality of the reward was not impressive, Chen Zhou couldn't nitpick.
After all, many things in here were ones he couldn't make or could make, but with poor practicality.
Such as the reel and hooks of various sizes, sets of fishing lines, and quicker-responsive floats, all of which were where he urgently needed improvement in fishing.
After tidying up the items inside the box, he wanted very much to express his dissatisfaction with the reward's quality, hoping the show producers would feel apologetic and compensate him more next time.
Alas, his acting skills weren't seasoned enough; tidying up, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter when imagining catching bigger fish in the future.
He repeatedly reminded himself to be content, quickly closed the box lid, tucked it into the packaging bag, dragged this large but light "Fishing Gift Package" outside the stone wall, filled with an irrepressible good mood, he began his work for the day.
