Chapter 527: Chapter 238: Amazon River_2

"I really can’t figure out what goes on in the minds of these Japanese. Before the competition, they were full of arrogance, and now that the livestreamer has beaten them, they suddenly become all meek and deferential. Is this what they call respecting the strong? It’s just too shameless."

Lin Yang glanced at the live chat’s bullet screen and chuckled, "Everyone, calm down. It was just a little joke. I’m really not planning on taking any disciples right now."

After hearing this, Yoshino, having translated for Saito, could see that Saito was clearly beginning to panic.

"You’ve decided not to take me as your disciple? But you just agreed a moment ago! I want to learn advanced fishing techniques from you. Your performance earlier was simply miraculous..."

Just as Lin Yang was feeling a bit conflicted and unsure of how to wrap things up, Tang Ze Yixiong, who had been silently observing the competition, spoke up.

"Mr. Lin Yang’s angling skills indeed exceed everyone’s expectations. In my opinion, since Saito sincerely wishes to learn, Mr. Lin Yang doesn’t need to be reluctant to accept him as a disciple.

Saito is a very pure angler. In business and in life, he has his own principles and perseverance. Learning advanced Chinese fishing techniques from Mr. Lin Yang would benefit the spread of angling culture."

"The Heila fishing technique has evolved on our soil for many years. I personally thought it would be unparalleled, at least on a par with pole fishing techniques, but the reality has far surpassed my understanding.

Learning from the strong is a fine tradition of the Da He Nation. I even have the idea now of promoting an improved version of the Heila technique in Japan. I believe it will benefit the fishing industry as well as the brand development of Dawa Company!"

Tang Ze Yixiong’s remarks somewhat surprised Lin Yang. There had always been a slight rift between the Mainland and Japan, and Lin Yang was still somewhat resistant.

Yet now, not only was the person involved in front of the crowd not reneging on his intention to become a disciple, but a witness was even willing to get involved. This was quite unexpected to Lin Yang.

If he could do something to promote and develop Chinese pole fishing techniques on a global scale, Lin Yang felt it might not be such a bad thing after all.

"Since Mr. Tang Ze Yixiong is willing to facilitate this matter and is interested in promoting the development of Chinese fishing techniques locally, I might as well give it some serious consideration," Lin Yang formally stated, loosening his stance.

"Whatever you need me to do, I will follow through. Mr. Lin Yang, please teach me how to catch fish like you did today! Losing the competition I can accept, but not even knowing how I lost, that I absolutely cannot tolerate! Please!"

Saito shifted from his previous arrogance to a respectful demeanor akin to a serious student.

Lin Yang fell silent for a while; he definitely had no intention of truly taking a disciple.

Aside from the fact that Saito was Japanese, he simply hadn’t intended to take on disciples right now, nor did he have the time or energy to devote to teaching a disciple.

In the end, Lin Yang weighed his options and decided to give face to Dawa Company, and at the same time to promote domestic pole fishing techniques. He carefully explained to Saito some of the techniques and details of his fishing method from earlier.

The Big Head Tactic was not any secret method within the pole fishing community, just a small adaptation. He proceeded to demonstrate to everyone present the subtle differences between the Big Head Tactic and the conventional methods.

At the end of the day, the essence of pole fishing lies in the balance of the two forces, the adaptability of the rig, and the adjustment of the rig’s center of gravity, which allows the bait on the twin hooks to present different postures underwater and better match the actual fishing conditions. A more suitable state reduces the difficulty of fish strikes, naturally increasing the catch rate.

Having explained this simple concept, even Tang Ze Yixiong and the other two Japanese present were astounded. It turned out that in the eyes of Chinese anglers, such profound changes were at play within a single fishing rig, and they were suddenly enlightened!

Saito, realizing where he had fallen short, was extremely excited, immediately declaring that what Lin Yang taught was invaluable.

In a gesture of sincerity, he wanted to arrange a banquet that evening to formally apologize to Lin Yang!

Since Lin Yang had made his decision, it was hard to decline afterward. One thing led to another, and he ended up agreeing to it.

A modest challenge had unexpectedly evolved into the current situation, a development that left both Lin Yang and his livestream viewers rather unsettled.

"The livestreamer just casually instructed this Japanese guy, and they treasure it like gold. It seems the Japanese Heila fishing technique can’t compare to our country’s pole fishing at all."

"I’ll boldly predict here and now that in a few years, Japan’s Heila competitive fishing will become extinct, and they will all switch to our domestic styles of the Big and Small Head Leads."

"Haha, our pole fishing has so much more to offer in terms of core techniques. Just wait until I introduce them to things like pulling paste, jelly bait, floating particle bait, and more. They’ll have plenty to learn!"

...

The competition ended, and Lin Yang also concluded the live broadcast. Afterwards, Lin Yang and his two companions returned to the hotel. In the evening, they attended the apology banquet arranged by Saito.

Now this Saito had really gone all out. The banquet included many locally renowned anglers, where Saito publicly apologized to Lin Yang for the day’s offense.

Seeing his sincerity, Lin Yang forgave him and casually offered them some more fishing tips and techniques.

After this little episode passed,

Lin Yang spent the next two days touring around Tokyo with Yue’er and Xia Xiaoxue, enjoying the leisurely pleasures of sightseeing, shopping, and dining.

Happy times are always fleeting. After a few days of fun, it was time for Lin Yang and his party to wrap up their trip to Japan and head back to China!
