Chapter 281 The Rhythm Begins, You're Using It to Fish for Sharks?

Baishui City, Li Family Toy Factory, new workshop area.

In a blink of an eye, two more days passed.

During these two days, the roar of the machines in the new workshop never stopped.

Li Jiajun practically lived in the workshop, watching every process to ensure this batch of jiajun brand super Fishing Rods perfectly reflected the design in his mind.

Finally, the first batch of finished products officially rolled off the line.

In the warehouse, a large pile of exquisite, long, rectangular gift boxes was neatly arranged.

Li Jiajun picked one up at random and unwrapped the packaging.

The Fishing Rod had a deep matte black finish, but under the refraction of light, the spiderweb-inspired biomimetic spiral weave pattern emitted a faint dark gold shimmer, like a black dragon lurking in the abyss—low-key yet full of power.

The handle used skin-friendly anti-slip material, with perfect weight distribution and an excellent feel.

"This is a work of art."

Li Jiajun sighed, gently stroking the rod body as if he were petting his own child.

"I don't believe it. How could such a perfect, purely civilian product still be requisitioned?"

"Unless the person doing the requisitioning has water in their brain."

After comforting himself, Li Jiajun remembered the Seasoned Old Angler Netizen who was still anxiously waiting in the Imperial Capital.

Although he had already sent a video of the production line, he felt it wasn't enough.

To completely put this big client at ease and to showcase the solid strength of his product, he decided to pull another stunt.

"Big Hammer!"

Li Jiajun shouted.

Wang Dachui, who was packing express parcels nearby, immediately ran over, his face full of smiles.

"Factory Director, what are your instructions?"

Li Jiajun pointed to a huge iron lump in the corner used for testing shelf load-bearing.

It was a standard industrial counterweight, with "100KG" written on it in eye-catching paint.

That is, two hundred jin.

"Go, find a sturdy rope and tie that iron lump up for me."

Li Jiajun instructed.

Wang Dachui froze, staring blankly at the iron block and then at the Fishing Rod in Li Jiajun's hand.

"Factory Director... you aren't thinking of... using the Fishing Rod to lift it, are you?"

Wang Dachui swallowed, wondering if his boss had been rendered foolish by recent late nights.

That's two hundred jin!

Even if it were a pig, two hundred jin would be a sturdy, big, fat pig!

Whose Fishing Rod could lift a pig?

"Stop talking nonsense, just tie it up."

Li Jiajun rolled his eyes at him, "This is called a stress test, understand? Hurry up!"

Under Li Jiajun's tyrannical pressure, Wang Dachui had no choice but to obey.

Soon, the rope was tied, and the other end was hooked onto the connecting ring of the Fishing Rod.

Li Jiajun took out his phone and turned on video recording mode.

"Come on, Big Hammer, hold the rod and lift it up."

"Lift it slowly, don't throw out your back."

Wang Dachui made a bitter face and took the Fishing Rod.

He took a deep breath, took a horse stance, focused his energy in his dantian, gripped the rod handle tightly with both hands, and began to exert force.

"Up!"

With Wang Dachui's movement, the seemingly slender Fishing Rod instantly bent into a breathtaking full bow.

The rod tip was almost touching the handle!

"Creak—"

The sound of carbon fiber stretched to its limit seemed to echo in the air.

But. It didn't break! It didn't snap!

The Fishing Rod was as if alive; the internal antelope-horn-style lattice locked up crazily, and the spiderweb-inspired biomimetic structure instantly dispersed the two-hundred-jin gravity to every micron-level fiber.

The next second. That heavy iron lump actually slowly left the ground!

One centimeter... five centimeters... ten centimeters!

Wang Dachui's face turned red, but he was surprised to find that he wasn't actually using much effort; the backbone of this Fishing Rod was ridiculously strong, as if an invisible pair of large hands were helping him hold the heavy object.

In the frame. A thin black rod, bent to its limit, was forcefully lifting a huge iron block.

This intense visual contrast was extremely impactful!

"Steady! Don't shake!"

Li Jiajun commanded while recording.

A few seconds later. "Alright, put it down."

Wang Dachui felt as if he had been granted amnesty and carefully lowered the iron block.

The moment the load was removed. "Whoosh!"

The Fishing Rod instantly rebounded, as straight as before, without leaving a single trace of plastic deformation. It remained tall and cold.

"Perfect!"

Li Jiajun snapped his fingers and saved the video.

This footage was simply amazing.

He immediately opened QQ, clicked on the Seasoned Old Angler's chat box, and sent the video over.

And added a confident message:

【Fishing Rod Manufacturer: Brother, look at how durable this rod is!】

【Fishing Rod Manufacturer: A two-hundred-jin iron lump, lifted just like that! If you catch a shark in the future, you don't even need to tire it out; just fly it straight up!】

【Fishing Rod Manufacturer: I've already arranged for someone to ship it to you; you'll receive it in a couple of days.】

Liu Jianguo's office.

"Ding dong." The QQ notification sound rang on the computer.

Liu Jianguo put down the document in his hand and clicked on the message.

When he saw the video. He was stunned.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly agape, and the teacup he had just picked up hovered in mid-air, forgotten.

"What the..."

Even with his composure, he couldn't help but curse at this moment.

In the video, the arc of the Fishing Rod made his heart race, fearing that the next second he would hear a crisp "pop."

But it didn't.

The iron block marked 100KG was suspended in mid-air, defying the laws of physics.

"Is this f*cking a Fishing Rod?"

"This is a crane, right?!"

Liu Jianguo was speechless.

He had been fishing for so many years; he had seen sturdy ones, but never one so monstrous.

This strength, this toughness...

In an instant, the data about T1100-grade carbon fiber that Elder Qian had mentioned earlier flashed through his mind.

Could it be... this kid really fully achieved those military specifications?

A chill crawled up his spine.

But. Just as he was about to doubt reality again.

The reply from Li Jiajun earlier flashed in his mind — "Of course not."

Liu Jianguo froze, and then his tense nerves slowly relaxed.

He leaned back in his chair, looking at the slightly thick rod body in the video.

"Sigh, I've really been scared out of my wits by this kid."

"Scaring myself."

Liu Jianguo shook his head, a self-deprecating smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"This definitely isn't some high-tech thing."

"Think about it, what's the simplest way to achieve such a large load-bearing capacity?"

"Pile on the materials!"

"Roll the carbon cloth thicker, brush on more resin, make it a solid fiberglass or low-tonnage carbon composite rod; never mind two hundred jin, even three hundred jin could be lifted!"

"It's just that a rod made that way would definitely be super heavy, have a terrible feel, and be devoid of any soul."

Liu Jianguo felt he had seen through the truth.

After all, Li Jiajun himself admitted he hadn't followed the requirements.

That meant that although this rod was strong, it must have sacrificed lightweight and high-modulus metrics.

It was just a big, clunky, black, and thick durable thing!

"However..."

"Durable is good."

Liu Jianguo stroked his chin, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

"I like this kind of tough and durable stuff."

"Taking it out for wild fishing, even if I run into a big catch, I won't be afraid of the rod breaking."

"And the workmanship of this kid's product actually looks quite good; taking it out can also bluff people."

Thinking of this, the trace of doubt in Liu Jianguo's heart completely vanished.

Replaced by full anticipation.

He even began to fantasize about the scene in a few days, if it could be approved, when he went on a trip abroad, carrying this super toy, on a beach in a foreign country, in front of foreigners, flying a big tuna straight onto the shore.

That scene would definitely be impressive!

"Alright!"

Liu Jianguo happily replied with a thumbs-up emoji.

Then, he turned off the computer and hummed a little tune as he walked out of the office.

This upcoming super toy... he was definitely going to get it!
