Chapter 386 - 386 375 Pressing the Advantage

386: Chapter 375: Pressing the Advantage 386: Chapter 375: Pressing the Advantage After communicating with the kid for a while, the group decided on the direction for the challenge.

Yue Feng was responsible for being on camera to continue initiating new challenge content, while Tingting and Zhao Zheng helped with shooting the behind-the-scenes from another angle, artificially adding points for ridicule.

With that, they had a big idea.

This type of skit is the hardest yet easiest to shoot!

How should this be understood?

It’s hard for others to imitate because it requires an unimaginable amount of training to achieve.

And what does it mean to say it’s easy to shoot?

The camera work is very simple, just fix the position and shoot in one take, and getting a close-up at the key moments counts as a small technical flourish.

As for shooting the behind-the-scenes footage, the requirements are even lower; just intentionally leaving a few mistakes is enough.

After the meeting to discuss the direction, the three of them skipped their lunch break.

Yue Feng decided that it wasn’t convenient to shoot at the dorm, so they went directly to the classroom.

As class president, Yue Feng had the keys to the classroom.

The three-person team quickly sprang into action, taking advantage of the lunch break to start filming!

Hua School students’ hand-tying fish hook challenge—who’s the toughest?

The whole network is up for the challenge!

Round Two!!

In this skit, Yue Feng challenged hand-tying fish hooks quickly, using a 1.2 leader line and #2 New Kanto hooks, a common line setup used in Black Pit competitive carp fishing.

Yue Feng was going to challenge the shortest time to tie ten sets of fish hooks!

To prove that there was no cheating with time, he even turned on the clock function on his phone and placed it beside him.

For an ordinary Fisherman tying hooks, a pair of fish hooks from threading the line to the final setup would take at least a minute for a very skilled angler.

But Yue Feng’s performance went beyond what most anglers believed was possible.

He only took three minutes and thirty-eight seconds to tie ten sets of hooks, which means on average just over twenty seconds to tie a pair!

While others could tie one pair of hooks in a minute, Yue Feng could nearly tie three.

In the video played at normal speed, Yue Feng’s fingers as he wound the line were a blur, and once ten New Kanto sets were tied and presented, they were perfectly straight and without any flaws.

Having shot the main part of the skit, they then moved on to deliberately arranged mistakes for the behind-the-scenes footage—threading errors, hooks dropping to the floor, and other mishaps, providing plenty of fodder for viewers to mock.

After fermenting for half a morning, Tingting’s morning skit had already broken through the three million views mark, with several tens of thousands of comments.

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks, the second installment of the challenge series was uploaded!

Besides the main skit, Tingting also uploaded the behind-the-scenes, and tagged Yue Feng’s main account under the video, to maximize the traffic conversion as much as possible.

The second skit continued all the viral elements of the first, making it impossible to stay unnoticed.

As soon as it was uploaded, it rapidly climbed to the top of the discovery page.

What followed was a natural progression—like the first, the second installment soared into the trending list, and by the time classes ended in the evening, it had reached the seven-digit view count, with no signs of sliding down in the short term.

The hook-tying challenge of the second installment had an even lower barrier than the first, with bigger hooks and thicker lines being easier to tie.

This led to more wind-following hosts releasing similar skits, and suddenly, the hook-tying challenge became a new trending keyword on the platform.

It looked simple in the video, but when trying to actually do it, the difficulty became apparent.

No matter the tying method or how easy it seemed, none of the Challengers could match Yue Feng’s time.

Videos featuring side-by-side comparisons came in one after another, and one by one they were dismissed, no exception.

When faced with a record far beyond their reach, a few troublemakers started thinking crooked thoughts.

Unable to legitimately ride the wave of traffic, they resorted to playing dirty, and various accusations of cheating in skits emerged one after another.

Onlookers were there for the excitement, and who won or lost wasn’t the most important thing.

When some people jumped out to question the authenticity of the event, everyone followed with comments, enjoying the show without worrying about how big things might get.

Luckily, Yue Feng hadn’t started a live broadcast, otherwise, the chat in the live stream would definitely have been abuzz with hype.

Controversy brings popularity, and that’s an eternal truth.

The two trending topics continued for more than two days before the growth in numbers finally began to slow down a bit.

The training camp’s curriculum continued, teaching everyone the basic skills of tying hooks and threading lines on the first day.

The task for the second day became much heavier, as each student had at least 50 passable fish hooks to tie within a day, still being comprehensively scored based on their performance.

By the third day, the first wave of popularity for the online hook-tying challenge had passed, but Yue Feng’s three-person team didn’t just stop there—they released the third installment!

Which Hua School student can tie hooks by hand the fastest?

Peak hook-tying skills, part three!!

This time, Yue Feng set his sights on the smallest fish hooks: 0.08 leader line, size 0.1 Sleeve Hook!

In the previous challenge, some had doubted the digital clock, so this time Yue Feng simply switched to an ordinary mechanical alarm clock and recorded the whole process.

It was still a set of ten fish hooks, and the final time was three minutes and forty-six seconds!

It took less than ten seconds longer than tying larger hooks!

The 0.08 leader line is very thin, with a diameter of only 0.049mm.

To give you an idea, that’s about the same as the average human hair.

As for the fish hooks, the size 0.1 Sleeve Hook is truly a tiny bead hook, which is somewhat difficult even for an adult to grasp with their fingers, let alone tie precisely.

But with such extreme materials, Yue Feng still tied them proficiently, with hardly any impact on his speed.

Now, no one among the previously unsatisfied livestreamers and their followers wanted to take up the challenge.

The few who doubted and prepared materials to try soon gave up, not having completed even one set of hooks due to the difficulty.

It was just too frustrating.

Compared with Yue Feng’s effortless performance in the videos, everyone had to acknowledge his superiority with a big “Respect”.

With several popular posts in a row, Yue Feng, who had “skills in hand,” gained a following of 110,000, and even Tingting gained over 60,000 followers.

Crossing the threshold of the first 100,000 followers in just a few days seemed like nothing short of a dream to the average person.

On the third day, classes proceeded as usual, but instead of tying hooks and threading lines, they moved on to the next lesson…

Introduction to Bait Performance!

At the instructor’s request, all the students took their bait gift packs to the classroom, each with two basins—one for water and one for bait opening.

They assembled and waited for the instructor to begin the lesson.

“Hello everyone, today we will be discussing bait!

During the previous tours, you all should have gained a preliminary understanding of bait composition.

Today, we will spend the day deepening your understanding of bait!”

“The raw materials of commercial bait can be categorized mainly into grain processing products, animal protein, various fragrances, amino acids, vitamins, and so on.

You have all come across these different materials during your factory tour.

Today’s main focus is to gain a clear understanding of the Hua Clan’s commonly used baits!

Now, please pay attention, everyone.

Take out all the Crucian Carp Bait from your gift packs, open them, and then mix them with the amount of water indicated on the bait according to the measuring cup!

During the preparation process, you need to label different bait balls and wait for further instructions!”
