"Are they really going to the Northern region? In this cold winter, won’t the contestants freeze?"
"That’s hard to say, this is a national competition, it can’t always be held in the southern region."
"Right, with competitions happening weekly, it’s impossible to wait for spring to head to the Northern region."
"Now that you mention it, there’s really a sense of anticipation. I’m curious to see how the contestants will perform in the Northern winter."
"Haha, just thinking about it feels a bit miserable. In this cold weather, it’s freezing doing anything outdoors, let alone fishing."
In the midst of the audience’s speculation and anticipation, a few days passed, and the production team finally announced the fishing spot for the next round under everyone’s expectation.
Just as many had speculated, the competition is indeed heading to the Northern region.
And it surprised many by going directly to the northernmost area!
Northeast.
That’s right, the next round of the competition will take place in the Northeast.
The announcement of the competition location immediately sparked widespread discussion and immense interest among the audience.
"Wow, they’re really going to the Northern region, and it’s such a northern place."
"I’ve never been to the Three Eastern Provinces before, I’m excited."
"This is so harsh, they’re heading to the coldest place right during winter, it’s certainly a challenge for the contestants."
"Indeed, especially considering that many of our contestants are purely from the southern region, they probably aren’t well adapted to the Northern weather."
"This isn’t just ordinary Northern weather, even for typical Northerners, venturing into the Three Eastern Provinces, especially Heitu Province, being outdoors and near the water, is a combination of extreme conditions."
"Yes, not just Southern people, even Northerners can’t really stand it."
"Haha, let’s see how the competition unfolds...."
The final location for the competition was thus confirmed, immediately causing an uproar.
Even ordinary Northerners would feel uncomfortably cold in the Three Eastern Provinces, especially places like Heitu Province. Being outdoors, near water, while engaging in prolonged fishing, hardly moving, truly maxes out all factors.
It’s an ultimate challenge to one’s ability to withstand cold.
No wonder some audience members joked that those who know it’s a fishing competition, but those who don’t might think it’s a survival challenge.
Nonetheless, what’s greater is the audience’s anticipation for the competition, especially after one audience member shared a personal experience, everyone’s anticipation grew even more.
This was a member of the audience who was from the Northeast region. This person grew up in the Northeast, where it’s extremely cold, with winter temperatures casually dropping dozens of degrees below zero, making such an environment truly unsuitable for outdoor activities.
But that audience member said what they missed the most was the winters of their childhood. Because as soon as winter came, the local river would freeze solidly, and they would follow the adults onto the ice.
Of course, Northeast is so cold outdoors that you’re not just directly ice fishing in the freezing cold. If conditions are good, naturally, you would bring a tent onto the ice to shield from wind and cold. You could even have a stove in the tent, warming by the fire while fishing, not cold at all!
If you’re hungry, you can casually grill some food on the stove, such as freshly caught fish, simply prepared and directly grilled, that would be the best.
