Acquired Left-Handedness

"It was me who threw them!"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Jue turned his head to glance at the female coach who had just pushed the door open.

Her physique was truly explosive!

Standing around 165 centimeters tall, she had curves in all the right places.

The most lethal part was that she was wearing a tight-fitting athletic outfit that exposed her midriff, along with leggings. Her exposed skin was a healthy, sun-kissed wheat color, and the defined lines of her abs were clearly visible, showcasing a nearly perfect figure.

Set against this near-perfect physique, her face—which would normally be a solid 6 out of 10—instantly jumped up a grade, elevating her to the level of a refined beauty.

A pair of large eyes stared straight at Chen Jue, making the heart of this nearly 30-year-old homebody skip a beat.

Oh no!

This is the feeling of falling in love!

No wonder they say gyms are full of beauties; just her figure alone could add two or three points to her overall attractiveness.

"I just finished my class and heard some noise in here."

"I bought these darts for the lounge, but I haven't seen any members using them, so I was curious and came to take a look!" The female coach smiled slightly and took the opportunity to introduce herself.

Her name was Lin Ling, a personal trainer at Yilian Fitness and an amateur dart enthusiast.

Upon hearing that she was a member of the Hangzhou Darts Club, Chen Jue's expression shifted: "Is that the club opened by Zhu Hongbin?"

"You know Boss Zhu?"

"That's not right! I know all the members in the club, and I haven't seen you in the group chat!" Lin Ling looked surprised, clearly caught off guard.

Chen Jue briefly described his chance encounter with Brother Zhu and how he had been given some pointers on his dart-throwing posture.

Of course, Chen Jue intentionally omitted the address of Jingtanghui.

After all, he was chatting with a pretty lady; it was better to avoid mentioning places like spas or massage parlors if possible. Being a bit more reserved would help leave a better impression.

"So that's how it is!"

"Boss Zhu is very easygoing and often coaches us club members."

"Plus, he's a natural lefty. His left hand is very agile, and his throws are steady and accurate! He even won major awards in international competitions back in the day; he's amazing!" Lin Ling first showed a look of realization, followed by a hint of reverence.

Her words clearly showed that she held Zhu Hongbin in high regard.

"A natural lefty?"

"Aren't all lefties natural?" Chen Jue asked.

When he had run into Zhu Hongbin at Jingtanghui, the man seemed to be scouting for young people who could throw darts with their left hand.

Hearing the term again, Chen Jue was immediately intrigued.

"There are also acquired lefties!"

"I wasn't a natural lefty, but when I was young, my mom taught me that using my left hand would make me smarter, so I started using it to hold chopsticks and do homework, and I trained myself." Lin Ling picked up two darts and threw them one after the other, left then right.

"Thud~ Thud~" With two sounds, both darts hit the board.

However, the one thrown with her left hand landed near the bullseye, while the subsequent right-handed dart landed near the edge.

Looking at the results, it was clear that her left hand was more agile and powerful than her right, resulting in more precise placement.

"Amazing!" Chen Jue couldn't help but exclaim at the sight.

It was his first time seeing someone use both hands with such agility.

The reason he had been able to throw darts so well with his left hand over the past few days was entirely due to the posture corrections provided by the system panel, which allowed him to slowly figure out the best way to exert force.

In reality, his left hand wasn't actually that agile.

If Chen Jue were asked to hold a pen and write with his left hand, he probably wouldn't even be able to hold the pen steady.

Thinking about it this way, the most powerful function of the attribute panel in his vision wasn't just adding points to boost stats.

It was the ability to take a person's athletic form and, through [Prompts], repeatedly remind Chen Jue to make precise corrections.

One must know that an ordinary amateur starting from scratch would have to spend at least hundreds of hours on it.

In just these two short days, Chen Jue had elevated his [Darts] skill to an amateur level, as if he had activated a double-experience scroll.

This was more than a hundred times better than hiring any personal trainer or gold-medal sparring partner!

"I haven't practiced in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty..."

Lin Ling muttered softly, glanced at the results of her two throws, then looked at the few darts Chen Jue had previously landed near the bullseye. She asked curiously, "How many times out of 10 can you hit the bullseye now?"

"Probably about 3 or 4 times!" Chen Jue scratched his head, recalling his practice session just now.

"Wow!"

"Then you're already at an amateur level!"

"I've been signed up for the club for two years, but I don't go often. My level is far worse than yours; I'm at most just an enthusiast." Lin Ling described the situation at the Hangzhou Darts Club.

Most of the people in the club were dart enthusiasts like her, though there were a dozen or so who were slightly more skilled, like the amateur-level Chen Jue.

Of course, there were also two professional players present.

According to Lin Ling, the gap between professional players and amateurs was at least two tiers wide.

Once the Darts were in their hands, it was practically a matter of hitting whatever they aimed at; they could strike whichever segment they desired.

As for how victory was determined in a match, it simply came down to which side made a mistake first.

"Professional players are that formidable?"

"Hitting whatever they aim at? That's even more accurate than a bullet!" Chen Jue felt a jolt of shock.

Although he had never watched international Darts competitions, by combining Lin Ling's description with his own experience throwing darts, he could roughly gauge the level of a professional player.

It was truly terrifying when you thought about it; they were incredibly impressive!

"Big brother, Darts are meant for hitting targets, not people."

"Besides, matches have fixed throwing distances. How can a distance of 2.44 meters compare to the range of a bullet? You've been watching too many martial arts dramas!" Lin Ling chuckled.

The two chatted happily in the recreation room for over ten minutes. During that time, once Chen Jue's left hand had regained some strength, they even sparred a bit to compare their dart skills.

When it was time for Lin Ling to give a private training session to a member, this beautiful, sweet-voiced, and hot-bodied young lady finally bid him farewell.

Fortunately, Chen Jue wasn't a block of wood; during their conversation, he had cleverly managed to get her WeChat.

He claimed it was so they could discuss Darts and fitness together.

Lin Ling worked at Yilian Fitness and rarely encountered an amateur enthusiast, so she accepted Chen Jue's friend request, marking the beginning of their acquaintance.

However, after Chen Jue spent another hour or so training his left hand until it went stiff, raising his [Darts] proficiency to (426/2000), he began to stroll slowly out of Wangdao Park.

An elegantly styled black Mercedes sports car slowly pulled out from the parking lot exit beside him and came to a stop at his side.

The window rolled down, revealing Lin Ling's refined and charming face.

"Brother Chen, where do you live?"

"I just got off work. Would you like a ride?" Lin Ling offered politely.

"No trouble at all! I live just ahead at Yangtze Residential Quarter, it's only a short walk," Chen Jue replied with equal courtesy.

If Chen Jue had been truly oblivious and hopped straight into the car, she would likely have deleted him or blocked him the moment she got home.

Of course, with just a glance, Chen Jue recognized the model of the car.

Because he worked at a corresponding automotive finance company, there was basically no car model on the market that Chen Jue didn't know.

"I'm impressed!"

"A 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT, it costs over 2 million including taxes!"

"Driving this to work at a gym?"

"She's a wealthy young lady here to experience life!"

Chen Jue felt that his heart, which had skipped a beat, was being a bit delusional.

Although this was the 392nd young lady to make his heart flutter—counting those in his Bilibili, Douyin, and Quark incognito browsing favorites—at least this one was a real-life encounter where he'd actually added her as a friend.

Alas, the gap was too wide; their material conditions were not on the same level.

His meager salary probably wouldn't even cover a few tire changes or a couple of maintenance rounds for her car.

"Time to slip away!"

"Way out of my league!"

Chen Jue waved at her and watched the GT drive off into the distance.

By the time he reached the entrance of his residential complex, a text notification arrived that made his spirits soar.

The 420 skipping stones had finally been delivered with free shipping!
