As Bai Yu and the others began their meal, the amount in the live stream reached 13,266,000.
This is the result of a morning's hard work by eleven contestants, including Bai Yu; they caught over 1,300 jin (approximately 650 kg) of fish.
On average, everyone's weight exceeded 100 kilograms, though the exact amounts varied.
In such a counting competition, it's natural that some people will drag the team down. In addition, since this is a charity event, you can imagine what will happen to someone who drags the team down.
I don't know what's going on, but there's just too much negativity online. If something happens that doesn't go according to the netizens' wishes, the person involved will inevitably be bombarded with insults.
Even when doing charity work, this is all there is to it. Take this big basin, for example; its performance today was rather poor, even though the brand hasn't yet released all the contestants' results.
However, just by looking at the frequency of these appearances in the live stream, it's enough to tell who has a good fishing experience and who doesn't.
In the first hour of the match, Da Pen did not appear in the live broadcast room once, but his voice could be heard coming from Bai Yu's screen.
After more than an hour without catching a fish, it's easy to imagine what the big basin's performance will be like today; he's definitely one of the people who dragged the team down.
Then, during lunch, when the game entered halftime, Da Peng took out his phone and saw that he had been scolded to death that night.
Many netizens said that he dragged the whole team down, which is why their donation amount is so small. They said that if he had worked harder, things wouldn't be like this now.
The barrage of scolding left Da Peng completely bewildered. He almost didn't even finish his lunch before heading back to fishing.
Fortunately, he held back at the last moment, deciding it would be better to eat his fill before fishing.
After all, the afternoon matches are longer and require good stamina.
As long as the rumors circulating outside are not malicious, Bai Yu will not care about them.
Even if someone criticizes him, he won't care, because no one can be as universally loved as money.
Since you can't be loved by everyone, try to be more open-minded. What others say is their business; what you do is your own business. Don't let others affect you.
Bai Yu had this mindset at noon, and then she ate eight bowls of rice. It wasn't that Bai Yu's appetite had increased, but rather that the bowls provided by the farm were too small.
This farm is huge everywhere. The pastures are vast, and the cattle, sheep, and horses raised there are also very large. The fishponds are the same, and the fish in the fishponds are also quite big.
However, the bowl used for eating was very small, looking just like a teacup for drinking tea—too small.
Then Bai Yu ate eight bowls of rice, and the braised mandarin fish he made was also completely devoured by the three of them.
After lunch, Bai Yu returned to the fishpond and started fishing again.
Bai Yu has always had a question about this competition: what role did he play in it?
It seems that besides increasing the amount of donations, he can't do much else, and there's nothing competitive about it.
After all, the competition for brand endorsement contracts had nothing to do with him, so he could only watch from the sidelines.
However, Bai Yu still had to participate in this competition, not only because it was required by the brand, but also because it was beneficial to him.
After all, it's charity work; the higher the donation, the better it is for him, and the better his reputation will be.
In the afternoon session, the fishing conditions for Baiyu continued from the morning, with fish biting the hook one after another.
As for the big basin he used for fishing with?
He was more like an assistant to Bai Yu in preparing the fishing spot. Although it was Da Peng who prepared the spot, the person who caught the most fish from it was Bai Yu, not Da Peng.
As Bai Yu and his team caught fish after fish, the amount of money in the live stream continued to rise, quickly increasing from ten million to twenty million, and it was still going up.
At 4 PM, the amount reached 30 million, with three hours remaining until the end of the competition, which was scheduled to conclude at 7 PM.
By 6 p.m., the amount of money in the live broadcast room had already exceeded 40 million, with one hour left before the end of the competition.
"Brother Pen, there's only one hour left, so is there any need for us to bait the spot anymore?"
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yu looked at the large basin that he still wanted to use to bait the fish, and his voice was full of helplessness.
Today, Da Pen has already baited the area four times, throwing in over ten kilograms of bait each time. It's already six o'clock, and Da Pen still wants to continue baiting, so Bai Yu finally spoke up to stop him.
If another basin of bait is thrown in, the total amount of bait used for groundbaiting and fishing today will be over 100 pounds.
This was the first time Bai Yu had ever seen someone use over 100 jin (50 kg) of bait to fish for freshwater. Even when fishing for saltwater fish, he wouldn't need that much bait.
"Sigh, Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't want to stop, it's that I can't stop. I've only caught a little over 200 jin of fish so far. Do you know how much money we've made so far?"
"How much money have you made? Fifty million?"
"That's about right, we already have forty million, and now we're working towards fifty million."
I've only caught a little over 200 pounds of fish so far. I'm definitely dragging everyone down. Do you know what netizens were saying about me this afternoon?
With my current performance, it's like I'm just occupying a position without doing anything. They say if they had just replaced me with another contestant, the final result wouldn't be like this.
What should I do now? If I don't keep baiting, what if no fish bite in the last hour?
As he spoke, Da Pen let out a deep sigh. He was genuinely worried and didn't know what to do.
"Brother Pen, you're getting too caught up in the details. That's not how you fish. You're an experienced angler, and fishing is all about maintaining a calm and peaceful mind."
The more impatient you are, the less likely you are to catch fish. Just let things take their natural course and don't overthink it.
There's too much hostility online these days. Getting insulted by them isn't a big deal; just pretend you didn't see or hear it.
Bai Yu has his own unique insights and methods when it comes to adjusting one's mindset.
He was now telling Da Pen his solution: ignore the other party, ignore the other party, and ignore the other party again.
"Brother Pen, you still need to work on your mentality. Let me tell you about my own experience, when I won the Olympic gold medal last year."
I had just won the Olympic gold medal and achieved a Grand Slam. Wouldn't you say that was a day to be happy about? And on the field of the competition, I also successfully proposed to someone. Wouldn't that be even more joyous?
But do you know what message I saw in my account's private messages right after the match?
Some people actually said that I ran too fast and didn't give the other runners any face, especially since I lapped some of them two or three times, which was an insult to the other runners.
Even after finishing the race, she went to propose, drawing all the cameras away from the competition. This was a selfish act, and she called me a selfish, arrogant, and petty person.
When I saw this private message, I was stunned. I was participating in a track and field competition, so shouldn't I be giving it my all?
As for those competitors I lapped, can they blame me for being bad? If they're bad, they should practice more and eventually surpass me.
As for my marriage proposal after the competition, that was my own plan. Why should I report to others what I want to do?
Besides, I didn't ask anyone to film me. I brought my own video camera, and my brother Ahai was filming me. Other cameras came over to film me on their own initiative. What does it have to do with me?
Besides, even if I didn't propose, given my achievements and accomplishments at the time, the cameras wouldn't be filming anyone else; they would only be filming me.
In short, the problem is that the food is the original sin!
So, bro, sometimes you shouldn't pay attention to what netizens say, especially those haters. Just treat them like they don't exist. If you take everything to heart, you won't get anything done.
As Bai Yu and Da Pen chatted, it gradually got dark, and the competition ended at 7 p.m.
The total amount of donations related to this competition eventually stopped at 44.867 million.
In response, the brand's representative immediately announced that they would make up the difference, and that their company would donate 4,500 yuan in cash and 50 million yuan worth of products to the children in the mountainous areas, totaling 100 million yuan.
Forty-five million plus fifty million, isn't that ninety-five million? Who filled in the missing five million?
Who else could it be but Bai Yu?
As Anta's brand ambassador, he earned over 100 million yuan in two years. He also announced a donation of 5 million yuan, which he donated together with Anta to reach a total of 100 million yuan.
