397: Chapter 386: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey 397: Chapter 386: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey “Did everyone see clearly?” Yang Wenjian asked.

The crowd answered, “Saw it clearly!”

“Good, next we’ll start hands-on training!

This morning we’re just practicing the basic motion of casting rods, but no lures allowed!

We’re focusing on developing muscle memory for casting!

Begin!!”

Upon hearing the instructor’s directive for free practice, the trainees joyfully scrambled to find their own gear and embarked on their training journey.

All thirty people had experience in fishing, and normally fishing wouldn’t stir any emotions, but being at Hua School, and after several days, this was the first time they were allowed to handle rods with new equipment in the water, everyone was quite excited.

Even if they weren’t allowed to use bait and were only practicing the fundamentals, it was still better than the monotony of sitting in a classroom discussing theory.

However, among those excited, Yue Feng was not!

Having mastered master-level casting techniques, Yue Feng did not need to practice these basic skills; it was just a formality for him as he could cast accurately even with his eyes closed.

Zhao Zheng was similar to Yue Feng; Zhao Zheng had a background in competitive fishing pole training, and these basic things had long become muscle memory for him.

“Damn it, that fatso actually picked on me!” Zhao Zheng grumbled quietly to Yue Feng after sitting down.

Yue Feng’s lips curled up, he said, “Let him pick, it’s all taken care of, what’s there to fear!

You think I’m the monitor for nothing?

It comes in handy when it matters!”

Zhao Zheng said, “That’s true!

Don’t even mention it, the bar Tingting took me to last night had both good DJ and atmosphere!

Let’s go there together next time we get a chance!”

“Don’t tell me, you two stayed out all night at the bar?” Yue Feng playfully looked at Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng felt slightly embarrassed and touched his nose, “What are you saying, do I look like a beast?

An opportunity like this must be seized, you think the Durex in my car is just for show?”

“That does fit your lewd and frivolous character!” Yue Feng nodded in affirmation after getting the response.

While the two men were whispering, one of the main characters, Ma Tingting, carrying a fishing box and holding a rod bag, arrived late.

Yue Feng, catching a glimpse of Tingting’s slightly awkward walking posture from the corner of his eye, remained silent.

On the other side, Chen Chen and Zhao Zhe were also mingling in the crowd, chatting while casually casting their rods.

They happened to glance aside and saw from a distance that Ma Tingting was coming.

“Look, the class beauty is here!” Zhao Zhe whispered to Chen Chen beside him.

Chen Chen turned his head to look for a few seconds, his eyes narrowed, and he softly said, shifting his body slightly, “Looking at her walking posture, could it be that she…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the implied meaning was clear.

Zhao Zhe turned his head to take another look and nodded, “Indeed, her walking posture does make it a strong possibility.”

“Damn, a good cabbage has been dug up by pigs!

Bloody double standards, we lose points just for slacking off a bit, but no one cares when this girl goes out to spend the night with someone in a hotel, it’s really dark!”

Zhao Zhe felt increasingly annoyed as he spoke, his voice unintentionally raised.

Although he did not name names in his speech, the meaning was very clear, and Qin Hu on his right also heard and looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“You can eat anything, but be careful with your words!

It’s not nice to say such things about a girl!” Qin Hu said, somewhat insincerely.

“Cut it out!

I’ve been with many girls, and you can tell from her walking that she’s been having a rough night!” Zhao Zhe maliciously speculated.

Qin Hu’s lips curled up, intentionally stoking the fire, “Stop spouting nonsense, be careful Zhao Zheng beats you up!”

Qin Hu’s words were just carelessly stoking the fire, but upon hearing the words “Zhao Zheng beat you up,” Zhao Zhe reacted dramatically.

“Nonsense!

You think this is Dongyang City?

Touch me and see if I don’t make him regret it!” Zhao Zhe muttered grumpily.

…

Soon, Ma Tingting also arrived at the pond and directly sat down next to Zhao Zheng’s fishing spot.

“Honey, where is the instructor?” Ma Tingting asked quietly.

Upon hearing this term of endearment, Yue Feng’s heart quivered.

Yesterday it was still Brother Zheng, but today it had changed to honey.

My Brother Zheng truly is a man of few words but decisive actions—within one night, he had truly won Ma Tingting’s heart.

Zhao Zheng glanced around; the instructor was nowhere to be seen.

“He was just here!

Seems like he took a phone call, not sure where he went!” Zhao Zheng replied.

“Did he ask anything else?”

“Nope, when I rushed over, we were just getting together.

Other than reiterating the discipline once more, he said nothing!

What a joke, I did ask for leave from the squad leader, in line with team discipline!” Zhao Zheng said cheerfully.

Not long after, Yang Wenjian returned; he had indeed taken a phone call from a friend.

Seeing the instructor return, everyone’s training visibly intensified.

Yue Feng, however, was quite calm.

While everyone else practiced the standard two-handed rod-casting posture, Yue Feng casually wielded his rod single-handedly, looking quite professional from several fishing spots away.

“Hong Wanlin, who allowed you to bait your hook!” At that moment, the instructor shouted at another trainee on the opposite side.

Hong Wanlin had sneakily started baiting and casting a few rods, not expecting to actually catch a fish just as the instructor saw him.

“Hehe!

Just testing the waters!” Hong Wanlin scratched his head and unhooked the fish, releasing it back into the water.

“Who’s laughing with you?

Step out and stand aside!” Yang Wenjian scolded with a stern face.

Startled by the rebuke, Hong Wanlin shuddered and stood up clumsily from his fishing spot.

It’s just fishing a fish; many among the students were fishing, and he wasn’t the only one catching them.

Why be so fierce?

“Once again, I emphasize, practice casting with empty hooks, no unauthorized baiting!

Anyone who disobeys will have points deducted from their conduct performance!”

Seeing the instructor’s rage, everyone instinctively shrank a little, and those who felt guilty tucked their Lure deeper into their food boxes, scared they’d be caught.

“Did we come all this way to Hua School to play around?

With such a lazy and slack attitude, do you think you can fish well??” Yang Wenjian was a bit infuriated; these guys were too much trouble.

In the morning assembly, there were complaints about fairness, and in the morning class, some openly defied his orders and baited their hooks to fish—the team was too restless!

As an instructor, responsible for all trainees of the thirtieth term, if he couldn’t establish even a bit of authority, there was no way he could lead the team later!

Hong Wanlin had seriously run into trouble and had become the proverbial scapegoat.

“Reporting, Sir!” Qian Jin saw that the instructor was angry and rather innocently raised his hand to speak.

“Speak!”

“Could you explain the standards for the basic training of rod casting, and what counts as passing?” Qian Jin asked.

Yang Wenjian casually picked up his rod and said, “On a calm and clear day like today, being able to hit exactly where you aim—that counts as passing!”

After saying this, Yang Wenjian felt it was slightly vague and frowned in thought for a second before taking out his all-metal insulated tea cup.
