As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 84 - Lu Zheqiang Also Invites

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Lu Zheqiang Also Invites

Time quickly reached noon, and everyone first gathered in the classroom before Lu Zheqiang led them to the pool area.

There weren’t only their group of students at the pool, but also other coaches with their students practicing.

Their task for the afternoon was to practice skills, and one by one everyone changed into their own purchased equipment, but Chu Mingcheng didn’t need to buy any since he brought his own.

One by one, the women quickly came out of the changing rooms, and under the wraps of the diving suits, their figures were clearly visible.

Tong Shu Man definitely stood out, she must exercise daily, her body looked like it was sculpted in a gym, with the diving suit accentuating her perfectly curved silhouette.

Such a figure, playing the role of a mermaid in an aquarium, would definitely grab attention, not to mention the men present, even Chu Mingcheng took an extra glance.

...

However, his glance was not drawn by Tong Shu Man, but rather he suddenly thought of Jiang Luoluo’s figure, which also seemed very nice.

After all, she was a dancer, and if she wore a tight suit, wouldn’t she look especially tempting?

Beside Chu Mingcheng, the other coaches present were similarly composed.

They had seen plenty of attractive and well-built female students annually. They were not going to act like greenhorns.

After everyone changed their clothes, the group started getting into the water. Lu Zheqiang first had everyone enter the water one by one, beginning to record their static breath-hold times.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Free-diving at level one had no hard requirements for assessment, but Lu Zheqiang still set a time for them.

The women needed only to reach one minute to pass, which almost all could do on the first try.

Even if they didn’t reach it, it was only due to nerves, and with a little practice, they all could pass.

The other male student had a slightly higher requirement, needing 90 seconds, which was a bit more challenging.

Most men could easily hold their breath for a minute. This male student’s first attempt lasted one minute and sixteen seconds.

He was only a few seconds away from one and a half minutes, and with some practice, he could achieve it.

However, for level two, there were assessment requirements, needing to reach two minutes, so this male student still had to work hard.

Finally, it was Chu Mingcheng’s turn. He, unreservedly, watched the diving watch while in the water and after four minutes, finally surfaced.

Seeing his seemingly effortless performance, Lu Zheqiang couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, suspecting that Chu Mingcheng’s physical capabilities were no less than his own, lacking only theoretical knowledge and some skills.

After teaching the students how to practice holding their breath, they moved to the next learning content—how to correctly kick fins underwater.

This was something Chu Mingcheng wasn’t quite skilled at yet, finally giving Lu Zheqiang a sense of achievement in teaching.

During the afternoon, Chu Mingcheng learned not only fin-kicking but also duck diving, and afterwards continued learning static apnea, dynamic apnea, and pool turns.

Dynamic apnea, also called horizontal diving, required 40 meters.

There was also constant weight diving to 16 meters, all of which Chu Mingcheng completed at a normal level.

Eventually, there were LMC and BO rescues (pool rescues), all content necessary for all students to learn, the difference lying in that Lu Zheqiang had higher expectations from Chu Mingcheng.

After a full day’s session, other students successfully received their level one certificates, concluding their course for today.

After all, a level one certificate largely served as an introductory experience and lacked significant technical content.

But graduating wasn’t so simple for Chu Mingcheng, he needed to go to open waters tomorrow for advanced learning—out at sea.

After class, he went to shower and changed clothes, preparing to taste various street foods, only to find that Lu Zheqiang had sent him a message, inviting him for dinner.

That brother was indeed enthusiastic, Chu Mingcheng agreed, deciding to treat him to dinner in return that evening!

Soon, Lu Zheqiang drove to the building, and Chu Mingcheng approached the car, only to discover Tong Shu Man sitting in the passenger seat, with another woman in the back seat.

“…” He was somewhat speechless, thinking about the PY matter, but still got into the car first.

Lu Zheqiang did not explain, instead, he took them to a restaurant and got a private room.

The table in the private room was not small; the four people sat casually and weren’t too close together.

Once seated, Chu Mingcheng did not hold back his curiosity because women were present.

He directly asked, “Daqiang, did you invite me to dinner tonight because you have something in mind?”

Lu Zheqiang was startled, not expecting him to be so direct. Now that the matter had come to this point, he could only nod his head and explain, “There is something. I’d like to invite you to join my fishing team.”

He had seen Chu Mingcheng’s strong underwater capabilities. Currently, their club had three coaches, which they had also started as a partnership.

Sometimes, when there were no students signing up, they would go out to sea to fish and hunt to make money.

Currently, his own fishing team consisted of eight people. Each time they went out to sea to fish and hunt, under good circumstances they could catch five to six hundred kilograms of fish.

Then he explained to Chu Mingcheng why he brought two female students along. It wasn’t for any special PY deal, but because both had already agreed to join his team and were waiting to get their fishing licenses before joining the fishing team.

Although they had just obtained their PADI One Star certificates today, it did not stop them from practicing and then going directly for the AIDA Two Star certificates.

Chu Mingcheng was not going to join his team and was not planning to stay in Qiongzhou, so he could only kindly refuse, “Daqiang, it’s not that I don’t want to; it’s just that my career is developing in Xia City. My boat, friends, and diving partners are all there.”

“I can’t join the team, but for the upcoming Three-star and Four-star freediving certifications, I will continue to come to you.”

“It’s quite regrettable, to be honest, I have high hopes for you. If you joined, I guess it wouldn’t be long before our club would have a fourth coach.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheqiang felt somewhat regretful. He really thought highly of Chu Mingcheng. Of all the students he had taught, his talent was the best.

Having such a partner around would greatly enhance the safety margin of their team.

However, he didn’t take the rejection to heart to the extent of falling out over it.

But after Chu Mingcheng refused, it was awkward for him to stay for the meal, especially since everyone present was part of his team.

“Well, since there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. I plan to head to Xisha for fishing after getting my fishing license; I just arranged a time and price with a boat captain. I’ll head over there now; you guys enjoy your meal.”

As soon as Lu Zheqiang heard this, he knew Chu Mingcheng was looking for an excuse to leave. Understanding the implication, he didn’t insist on him staying.

Leaving the restaurant, Chu Mingcheng looked around, somewhat speechless. Where had he been brought to?

He hadn’t expected Lu Zheqiang to invite him, and he hadn’t known that he was one of the club’s stakeholders.

With his abilities, it was improbable he’d join a team. How would he advance with someone following him?

If it was just occasionally fishing and hunting with friends for fun, that would be possible.

He casually found a place to have dinner and then searched online for a nearby fishing gear store.

Coming to Qiongzhou, he had only brought two fishing rods in his luggage.

Other fishing rods were left at home, as it wasn’t too late to bring them next year when driving back to Xia City.

With two fishing rods and the electric winding rod he was about to buy, he had enough for now.

Once he returned from Xisha to Xia City, he could also get his driver’s license while renting boats for sea fishing or boat fishing.
