Chapter 373: Chapter 227: The Secret of Multitasking_2
This is truly multitasking.
The process is like an old trickster practicing card tricks, repeating the training over and over until it becomes habitual instinct—that’s when you’re truly skilled. With all the basics ingrained, you’ll shine in real combat!
"That’s amazing, so that’s how they win! I’ll try it out when I practice tomorrow!"
"Let’s do it together, supervise each other, train each other! This trick is so cool!" Liu Zi was eager to try.
"Alright, any other questions? Digest my summary, if everything’s clear, let’s go eat!"
"I have one last question! Zhang Yang, do you think we should continue fishing against them tomorrow or train alone?" Meng Fan continued to ask.
"Anyway, I won’t be continuing fishing competitions, you two can do whatever you want!
The practice pole pond will probably be crowded in the next couple of days, turn fishing into real-world practice!
Specific training might not show obvious changes in just a day or two!"
"Well then, let’s continue fishing competitions! Judging from today’s situation, the people Ding Wen invited seem not impressive, not a threat!"
Zhang Yang sneered: "Don’t be discouraged if you lose, don’t brag if you win.
There are experts nationwide, and if you want to pursue competitive fishing, you need to accumulate skill and have the mindset to stand out in national leagues. Winning small local contests with amateur anglers is nothing!"
"Got it."
...
The three brothers wrapped up a simple summary meeting and casually strolled to the mall for dinner, then each went home to their own families.
The next two days went as Zhang Yang predicted! A large number of practice pole players flooded in, making the parking lot crowded, and increasing the density of people in Pond One and Pond Two.
The fish in the pond didn’t increase, and with more people fishing, the relative density naturally decreased quite a bit,
plus, with repeated fishing and releasing, the hourly fish catch noticeably declined from easily over a hundred to an average of seventy to eighty, with occasional good performances reaching around one hundred.
During these two days, Liu Zi and Meng Fan mixed in with the fishing competition crowd for real-world training,
while Zhang Yang acted like a laid-back spectator, wandering here and there, noting new issues, to hold meetings and summarize after the fishing sessions.
The two days of fishing competition practice quickly ended, and at three o’clock in the afternoon the day before the official competition, Boss Ge timely opened the aerator, clearing the area ahead of time and adjusting the water quality, just waiting for the official competition the next day.
On the morning of the competition day at five thirty, it was still dark when Zhang Yang was woken by the alarm clock.
Habitually washing his face before leaving, he checked all the competition equipment and bait again, then drove the van early towards Li Yuan Fishing Ground.
Upon arriving at Li Yuan Fishing Ground, many anglers from surrounding cities had already arrived early; some had come to W City the night before, while others slept in their cars, just waiting for today’s official competition.
As locals, Zhang Yang and his group were more comfortable, sleeping at home, only waking up an hour early without delaying anything, with their spirits fully energized.
Zhang Yang casually found an empty parking spot and parked his car, then signed his name at the registration area, waiting for Meng Fan and Liu Zi to arrive.
At ten past six in the morning, Meng Fan arrived at Li Yuan Fishing Ground with Liu Zi in his car.
"Boss, breakfast first, brought you meat buns and soybean milk!" Meng Fan greeted, picking up a breakfast pack from the passenger seat and handing it over.
Zhang Yang took the breakfast, eating while saying: "Boss Ge said all eighty spots are filled! Today’s a tough battle, the draw will start soon, keep your minds sharp!"
"Tough battle? How?"
Zhang Yang explained: "Today’s air pressure is a bit low, just over a thousand, plus the practice pole ponds have been in high-frequency use recently, except for half a day’s rest yesterday afternoon and evening. I predict overall fish conditions will be challenging!"
"What to do then? Adjust fishing methods?"
"If fish conditions aren’t great, fishing methods certainly need tailored adjustments! Did you prepare the small hooks, thin lines, and bait he mentioned?"
Meng Fan nodded: "Prepared them, the thinnest 0.15mm line, size two thin sleeve hooks, Liu Zi helped me tie them yesterday! This guy is really skilled at tying hooks and lines, even better than I am!"
"If fish conditions aren’t good, then adjust fishing methods towards a full lead style, frog style strategy!
Also, didn’t I give you tips? If you can’t judge fish conditions clearly, watch the angler with the most catches in your view.
Observe the lead position, casting spots, bait details, you’ll mostly get the answer!"
"Got it, remembered!" Meng Fan nodded heavily.
...
While Zhang Yang and Meng Fan had breakfast and quietly exchanged pre-competition notes, Liu Xiaoyun, who had disappeared for two days, also drove into the Li Yuan Fishing Ground parking lot.
When Liu Xiaoyun came for the first time a few days ago, he drove himself. After losing to Zhang Yang by three fish, Liu hadn’t come to the fishing ground for the next two days. On competition day, Liu also came early.
Additionally, accompanying Liu was another Honda Accord with Qing City plates.
