Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 621 - 361: The Different Levels of Fishing Skills (2)

Just like that, Han Mocheng drove to W City, and without even meeting Zhang Yang, he went straight to the bait factory. Xiaobao's initial experience had to be roughly repeated by young Han.

After arranging things for Han Mocheng, Zhang Yang wasn't very sleepy either. He got up, washed up, and found some food in the kitchen to fill his stomach. Then he drove leisurely back to the shop in his van.

The small shop in the town is now completely handed over to his parents to manage. Zhang Yang acts like a hands-free manager, hangs around the shop when he has nothing to do, and leaves anytime when he has something, not participating in the shop's daily management at all.

After staying in the shop until he finished lunch, Zhang Yang drove to the company's location in the city at the scheduled time.

The team filming the black pit doesn't require much attention from Zhang Yang, but Liu Zi, Xiaobao, and Meng Fan do.

Especially Xiaobao, who exposed many issues during the recent competitions. Now that the competition is over, it's time to consolidate and review, learn and improve.

When Han Mocheng completes the trial and joins the competitive team, he won't escape this process either.

When Zhang Yang drove to the company location's backyard, Liu Zi and Xiaobao hadn't arrived yet, but Meng Fan was already there early.

In the sweltering autumn weather, it wasn't cool at noon, but Meng Fan didn't even set up a fishing umbrella, just wearing sun protection clothing, a hat, and a face mask, practicing casting under the blazing sun past one o'clock.

Zhang Yang entered from the direction behind Meng Fan, so Meng Fan didn't see Zhang Yang coming at first.

He continued to cast very steadily, showing that even when alone, he trains very seriously.

Zhang Yang didn't rush to greet, instead stood not far away and silently observed for a bit.

In the bait tray behind Meng Fan, there were several lumps of bait in different colors, showing varying degrees of drying and dehydration.

"Hey, Meng Fan, you came quite early?" Zhang Yang casually greeted him.

Meng Fan looked up and grinned at Zhang Yang: "Yeah, Brother Yang! Nothing to do at home, so I came early! Just practicing a bit!"

"You came in the morning?" Zhang Yang asked with a question but in a confirmed tone.

Bait that hasn't been dried for a long time surely wouldn't be in this state.

"Hmm! Came before eight! Liu Zi and Xiaobao went to the mall to mess around. I'm practicing by myself! I called just now, they're on their way back, shouldn't be delayed!"

"Oh!" Zhang Yang nodded, not continuing this topic.

"After the competition, have you summarized? Found where you're lacking?" Zhang Yang paused for a few seconds and continued to ask.

"Summarized, I react too slowly to fish conditions and adjustments!

Still not experienced enough, during the competition I couldn't perfectly match the usual training fish conditions with the competition fish conditions!

A slight change wastes a lot of time!" Meng Fan said with deep insight.

Zhang Yang nodded, very satisfied, and said: "You summarized well! Matches my summary and judgment for you! It's good that you have this understanding, this competition wasn't in vain!"

What Zhang Yang likes about Meng Fan, aside from their brotherly friendship accumulated over the years, is Meng Fan's personality and temper are very important factors.

In Zhang Yang's eyes, Meng Fan is very disciplined, hardworking, does things seriously, and is an adept young man in social affairs.

This time Meng Fan didn't get a qualifying ticket, it may not seem like much, but deep down, he isn't very satisfied with his performance, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to practice on a supposed rest day.

"Brother, I want to improve my skills faster, what should I do?" Meng Fan looked up at Zhang Yang and continued to ask.

Being somewhat younger, Meng Fan couldn't hold it in and asked.

Zhang Yang grinned and replied: "Haven't you already found the answer?

Lack of competition experience, there's no shortcut, just practice!

When you can accurately judge underwater fish conditions with three to five casts, you'll be considered qualified!

Take building a house for example, you guys are still in the stage of digging foundations and casting structures, lay the foundation solidly, master the basics, and let time do the rest! Hastiness won't cook hot tofu!"

"I understand the logic, but something feels off!

I haven't seen you participate in many competitions, yet you always achieve good results!" Meng Fan was not satisfied with Zhang Yang's explanation and continued to question.

Zhang Yang grinned: "It's a talent issue! You guys are at the talented level, I'm different, I'm a genius! Hahaha!"

A half-joking remark brushed past Meng Fan's long-held question.

But Zhang Yang didn't move on, and sincerely said: "When I let you guys practice casting, besides strengthening muscle memory, I'm also guiding you to find a feeling for fishing!

I can't describe this feeling exactly, if likening it to something, it's like an epiphany in martial arts novels!

Training continuously, training continuously, suddenly, many rigid knowledge in your mind activates, and combines into a systematic knowledge structure!

When your own cognitive system of fishing skills is established, you can apply it flexibly when encountering problems!

You can also understand it as truly becoming enlightened!

When I got enlightened, my skills improved remarkably!

Even now, I'm still benefiting from the period of enlightenment!"

These words weren't a bluff from Zhang Yang, but reflect his past journey of skill improvement, simply modified, and shared with Meng Fan.

"I get it! By continually practicing casting, summarizing competitions, etc., turning theoretical knowledge into instinct, and integrating it!"

"Right! Practice more, summarize more! Think more! Once a complete knowledge structure is established, you're considered accomplished!

Judging from your recent performance, your basics are good enough, just lacking the integration and complete enlightenment!!

I know this time you didn't qualify, you're somewhat unwilling, but as someone experienced, I tell you, this is normal!

Just bad luck, not purely a matter of basic skills!

When skills reach a certain height, the competition mindset is also a high-level manifestation of fishing skills!"

"But...the same problem happened to you, why can you achieve such high scores in eight rounds!" Meng Fan recognized Zhang Yang's explanation but hadn't fully understood.

Zhang Yang continued explaining: "Didn't I say, when skills elevate to a certain height, mindset is also a part of prowess!

My mindset is good, respond to problems timely and effectively, so I resolved unfavorable situations!

You lack experience here, facing disruptions, improper handling naturally impacts results!

These aspects can be gradually improved through training and accumulating competition experience, not difficult!"

"Alright!" Meng Fan nodded, accepting Zhang Yang's explanation.

The brothers chatted for a while, and at half-past one, Liu Zi and Xiaobao came back, arm-in-arm, right on time.

After spending time together recently, Liu Zi and Xiaobao completely got familiar, Liu Zi's character is quite pure, and dealing with his own people carries no malice.

His interactions with Xiaobao, a savvy person with high emotional intelligence, have rapidly progressed.

Seeing Zhang Yang and Meng Fan came early, the pair hurriedly dropped their arms, a bit nervous.

"Boss, you and Meng Fan came early!" Liu Zi scratched his head, slightly awkwardly greeted.

Zhang Yang glanced at the time on his watch and nodded: "Not bad, missed being late by a minute! Out together messing around? Who else went?"

Zhang Yang's seemingly casual remark didn't affect Liu Zi, but Xiaobao's expression slightly changed.

Given Zhang Yang's understanding of Xiaobao, his expression definitely indicates something's up!
