Chapter 380 - 380 369 The First Basic Lesson

380: Chapter 369: The First Basic Lesson 380: Chapter 369: The First Basic Lesson The so-called One Finger Zen involves drawing cards from the deck using just one finger, making cheating considerably more difficult.

Basic cheating techniques like switching cards or drawing from the bottom of the deck are hard to execute with One Finger Zen.

While saying this, Zhao Zheng purposely used his peripheral vision to observe Qin Hu.

Qin Hu showed no expression on his face, but Mu Jie beside him twitched at the corners of his eyes, looking somewhat unnatural.

Switching to One Finger Zen, the situation at the table indeed became unpredictable.

Mu Jie could no longer follow cards recklessly, and Qin Hu’s streak of good luck had come to an end.

With the influence of tricks removed, Zhao Zheng’s advantage of being well-supplied with ammo in his thick wallet came into play.

Cards that would typically be discarded after a couple of rounds by others, he would press on, winning several hands with a final Ace.

In the span of two hours, Zhao Zheng had recovered most of the money he had lost that afternoon.

He glanced at his watch; it was already past nine in the evening.

“That’s it for today.

It’s getting late, and we have to get up early for morning training!”

“I have no objections.

What about you guys?” Qin Hu nodded and looked at the others.

“No objections!”

Everyone agreed, so the card game dissolved, and soon the room was left with only Qin Hu and Mu Jie.

“Damn it, has Zhao Zheng discovered something?” Mu Jie asked, his voice filled with concern.

Qin Hu casually counted the money in his hands; most of what he had won earlier was spent, but he still had a slight surplus of about eighteen hundred yuan.

He split it evenly with Mu Jie.

“So what if he figured it out?

He still can’t catch us red-handed!

You looked pretty greedy today—how could you keep dragging for seven or eight hands straight?

You need to ‘water the plants,’ understand?

You have to give them hope of winning to control the game.

You didn’t want to lose at all, even a blind man could see something was off!”

Touching the money he received, which amounted to a little over five hundred yuan, Mu Jie, who was a bit greedy, said, “I’ll be sure to pay attention next time!

I knew we should have run off after dinner.

Finally won over five thousand, and it all went back to him!”

“Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities!”

…

Zhao Zheng returned to the dorm, where Yue Feng was watching a live stream and tying hooks, occasionally glancing up at the screen, his hands moving deftly without any interference.

“Disbanded so early?

How did it go?” Yue Feng asked casually.

Zhao Zheng sucked on his teeth and said with narrowed eyes, “You were spot on!

There’s something fishy about Qin Hu!

Even playing for five and twenty cents, using dirty tricks—shameful!

Once we switched to your suggested One Finger Zen, their tricks stopped working.

I won the money back!”

“Ten bets, nine cheats; not betting is winning!

No matter the stakes, stay away from gambling.

It’s not a good thing; it’s easy to get hooked.

With that money, wouldn’t it be better to buy some meat and drinks?” Yue Feng then hung another set of hooks into the box, completing the box of hooks he had promised Zhao Zheng.

“Here, the hooks are all tied!” Yue Feng handed the box to Zhao Zheng.

“Tsk, tsk, the more I interact with you, the more I realize how deep you are!

These hook knots are much better than the ones I used to buy!”

Yue Feng scowled, “Helping is one thing, but you still have to learn!

According to the curriculum, tomorrow is the basic hook-tying class.

Don’t be lazy; properly learn these fundamentals.

If you want to catch good fish, all these are necessary!”

“Alright, alright!

You’re right, I’ll definitely study hard!” Zhao Zheng couldn’t help but hurry his agreement to Yue Feng’s nagging.

…

Without a word overnight, at precisely 5:50 a.m.

the next day, Yue Feng’s alarm clock rang on time.

Getting up, washing up, briefly cleaning the dormitory, at 6:05 Yue Feng appeared at the assembly site.

According to Instructor Yang’s requirements from the previous day, training camp officially started today.

Morning roll calls and running required Yue Feng, as the monitor, to count the attendees, so Yue Feng arrived at the site five minutes early.

Despite repeated emphasis, there were still a few team members who were late.

After taking roll call, Yue Feng led everyone to begin the morning run, jogging around the factory area for twenty minutes.

At 6:30, the morning run ended, and Yue Feng handed over the morning roll call sheet to the instructor.

The squad was dismissed to have breakfast.

At 7:30 in the morning, all the students had rushed to the large activity classroom on the first floor, where Yang Wenjian entered with a stern face, holding the roll call sheet from the morning run.

“Good morning, everyone.

Starting from this session, we will formally begin systematic learning of Taiwan Fishing!

Today’s main content is about the basics of fishing lines and hooks, and the making of leader and main lines!

Before we officially start, let’s first report the issues from the morning exercise.

Qin Hu, Zhao Zhe, Chen Chen, Bi Wensheng, why didn’t you show up for the exercise?

Stand up and explain!”

Being called out, the four were a bit nervous, especially Zhao Zhe and Chen Chen, who had already been late yesterday – today was the second time!

Qin Hu stood up first: “I’m sorry, Instructor, I ate something bad last night, didn’t sleep well all night tossing and turning, didn’t hear the alarm clock this morning, so I woke up late!

I will definitely pay attention next time!!”

This excuse from Qin Hu was not bad, and Yang Wenjian turned his head to look at the other three people.

“Zhao Zhe, Chen Chen!

You two are late again today!

Did you also eat something bad??” Yang Wenjian asked, raising his voice unconsciously.

“We ate dinner together last night!

Maybe there was something wrong with the takeout crayfish!

Indeed, we got food poisoning!” Zhao Zhe, with a swift glance, lied with a mournful face.

“I don’t care what your reasons are!

Even if you’re unwell, you could have informed me to take leave.

Who took leave among you?

Being late today will cost you five points in your daily conduct scores!

If it happens again, ten points!

If you are late three times repeatedly, you will be automatically advised to withdraw!

Even your attitudes are not in the right place, there’s no need to attend Hua School, we don’t lack students who slack off here!

Alright, sit down, now let’s start with the first session’s content!”

“Since we are starting systematic learning of Taiwan Fishing, let us begin with the very basics of tying hooks and lines!

About fishing lines, we also introduced them briefly to everyone when we visited the fishing line packaging workshop yesterday.

Now let’s discuss them in more detail!

Nylon lines, also known as Nylons and Perlon, are a type of polyamide fiber!

They possess characteristics of high strength, abrasion resistance, and low water absorption, which are excellent properties of polymers.

In the field of Taiwan Fishing, they are widely used as fishing lines!

Currently, some of the leading companies in the fishing line industry, such as Japan’s Toray and Germany’s Sufix, are well-known brands, with their main markets in Mainland China!

According to their different functions, nylon lines are divided into main and leader lines!

The main line, as we often call it, is usually colored with an outer coating and a harder line body, providing higher strength at the same diameter, better abrasion resistance, greater density, and it cuts through water easily!

Leader lines, used for tying hooks, are much softer compared to main lines, making them easier to get into fishes’ mouths when fishing!

However, because of the pursuit of softness, there is some loss in strength.

Therefore, for the same brand and type of fishing line, the strength of the main line is usually higher than that of the leader line!
