Time passed by as Bai Yu and his team trained day after day, and his company continued to develop steadily.
Moreover, with the addition of new fishing boats, the company's daily revenue has increased significantly.
After all, any ship belonging to Baiyu Company will be bound to him and will share Baiyu's own luck value.
Although his luck stat, without triggering the search function, can provide relatively little assistance to the fishing boat.
But at least one thing can be achieved: every time the fishing boats go out to sea, they will not return empty-handed; at least they can make back their costs.
In other words, the boats belonging to Baiyu Company are basically guaranteed to make a profit. As long as they are operating, they will make money; it's just a matter of how much.
In addition, Tongzi Ge himself has a buff, which is the speed of ocean resource recovery. This is a passive buff that Bai Yu does not need to actively use.
All fish caught by their company's vessels, regardless of species, value, or quantity, will be recovered in a very short time.
As for how Brother Tongzi managed to do this, no one knows.
This is why, even with the extensive fishing by the Yuxue and Yuxue II, the resources of the Southeast Seas remained unaffected.
In fact, even without Brother Tong's recovery ability, the impact on marine resources would be negligible if these two fishing boats were to fish day and night.
After all, the Southeast Seas are too vast, and their fishing boats are too small. It's not the right time for this function to truly shine yet. Only when the White Fishing Company's ships form a large fleet will we be able to see how amazing this function is.
After a month of secret training by Bai Yu, the shipyard delivered another vessel—the squid fishing boat they had previously ordered. This boat could be used for both high-altitude squid fishing and crab fishing.
With a few minor modifications to some of the equipment, this ship can even be transformed into a trawler.
However, the company did not make such a request; the boat's functions of squid fishing and crab catching were already sufficient.
The value of giant squid or octopus and crabs is enough to keep them busy.
As for the ship's captain and crew, Li Xue and Li Shuang, as always, entrusted this task to their uncle and Uncle Wang, asking them if they could recommend a captain.
It's worth mentioning that a month has passed now, and Uncle Da and Uncle Wang have completed a sea voyage and returned with a ship full of cargo.
It was at this moment that the shipyard delivered the boat, and then Uncle Da and Uncle Wang once again acted as temporary captains, sailing the squid fishing boat back to the county from the shipyard.
As for the personnel issue, we'll have to find them gradually; it's not something that can be done overnight.
As the second month arrived, Bai Yu had been training at the base for two months, and his 10-kilometer weighted cross-country run had increased from 30 jin (15 kg) to 30 kilograms (15 kg).
Although his load increased, his performance improved, and he went from finishing in half an hour to a time under 27 minutes.
Despite carrying a 60-pound load, he still managed to achieve this result. Although there are uphill and downhill sections in cross-country running, so the result cannot be taken into account, it is undoubtedly a significant improvement for Bai Yu.
As for running on the track, Bai Yu has run it a few times, and his time is around 26 minutes and 30 seconds each time, which has already broken the current world record.
This was only because Bai Yu was running at the training base on his own, without any professional witnesses. Otherwise, his performance would have been enough to shock the entire track and field community.
It's important to understand that in track and field alone, any competition involving speed, whether it's a world record or an Olympic record, is the result of generations of athletes giving their all.
It's fair to say that the current world records are basically the limits of human potential. If a future athlete can break a record, it means that he or she will break the limits of human potential.
Bai Yu's achievements are all record-breaking, each time pushing the limits of the past.
This is why some leaders of the track and field team are full of expectations for this Olympic Games.
Given Bai Yu's current strength and form, they've practically secured all three championships in this competition.
As time passed day by day, three months quickly came to an end, and it was early June of 2021.
With just over a month to go before the opening of the Olympics, Bai Yu and his team's training camp has come to an end.
At the moment the training camp ended, Coach Li, along with Bai Yu, Wang Hai, and several other staff members, bought plane tickets and flew abroad that very day.
As for their main purpose in going abroad, it was naturally to verify their training results. No matter how good their performance was during training, it still needed to be tested in a real competition to be considered real.
Coach Li took Bai Yu to participate in a well-known international invitational tournament, which could also be called the pre-Olympic qualification tournament.
Track and field is different from other sports. In other sports, as long as your country ranks well in the event and has a good result, you will have a spot to participate in the Olympics, and then the country can select athletes to compete.
There is often a situation where your country has a high international ranking, but you are not selected when it comes to personnel selection within the country.
However, track and field competitions are different from other competitions. Even if your country is eligible to participate, your athletes still need to have outstanding results. They must meet the minimum standard to participate.
Take Bai Yu for example. He was the only Chinese athlete in the long-distance running event at this Olympics. Apart from him, no other Chinese athletes signed up for this event. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that their performance wasn't good enough to qualify.
Of course, this excludes the host country and specially invited guests.
The international invitational tournament that Bai Yu is participating in is the last international event before the Olympics. If any athletes want to secure a spot in the Olympics, this will be their last chance.
Logically speaking, for a contestant like Bai Yu who already has a spot, it doesn't matter whether he participates in this competition or not. By participating now, he might actually expose his strength prematurely.
But in the end, Bai Yu still came here and participated in this invitational tournament.
Besides wanting to test their own abilities, there was another, more important reason: the prize money for this competition was exceptionally high.
This track and field invitational tournament features two long-distance running events: the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 10,000-meter race.
Each project offers a prize of US$200,000, so two projects would be US$400,000, which translates to a whopping RMB 2.7 to 2.8 million.
In addition, the champion of this competition also received a gold medal. Although it was not pure gold, it still had a few grams of gold on it, which was better than nothing.
Then Bai Yu brought Coach Li and the others to the competition for the $400,000. If they won, they would naturally make a small fortune.
But if they lose, it will be disastrous. There are five of them in total, and the round-trip airfare, accommodation and other expenses will cost tens of thousands of yuan. If they don't win the championship, it will be a huge loss.
Fortunately, the participant was Bai Yu, who was full of confidence for these two competitions. He not only wanted to take away the prize money, but also wanted to break the tournament record of this invitational tournament.
For many large competitions, there are usually two records: one is the competition record, and the other is the world record. These two records are counted separately.
The tournament record for the 3,000-meter steeplechase was eight minutes and a half seconds, which was more than ten seconds slower than the world record.
The same applies to the 10,000 meters; the meet record is only 27 minutes and 40 seconds, which is still quite a distance from the world record.
With just these two records, let alone Bai Yu after the training camp, even before the training camp, he could easily break them and write his name on the records.
After arriving in the city where the competition was being held, Bai Yu and his team found a hotel to stay in, made some simple adjustments, and then waited for the competition to begin.
In this invitational tournament, Bai Yu will run three races in total. He will run the 3,000-meter steeplechase twice, once in the semi-finals and once in the finals. The 10,000-meter race will be slightly easier, as he only needs to run it once.
Unfortunately, there were too many participants in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and one round was definitely not enough. So, a semi-final was added to select the best runners for the final.
Bai Yu then went to the stadium the next day, partly to get used to the venue, and partly because he was bored at the hotel and wanted to watch other games at the stadium.
The track and field invitational tournament naturally includes more than just running events; other events such as high jump, long jump, triple jump, javelin, and shot put are also included.
Those events are even more complicated than long-distance running; they involve group stages, semi-finals, and many other selection processes.
Because of these projects, the 3,000-meter and 10,000-meter races can't be started right away. Other projects have to be done first before it's their turn.
Three days after Bai Yu went abroad, his first competition finally arrived: the semi-final of the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
At the start of the race, he took the lead and ran into the first place. During the race, he also met several acquaintances.
After seeing Bai Yu rush to the front, those acquaintances immediately followed, wanting to compete with Bai Yu.
These so-called acquaintances really missed Bai Yu; they missed him so much they were practically itching to get back at him!
Unfortunately, after winning the 3,000-meter, 5,000-meter, and 10,000-meter championships in various competitions, Bai Yu rarely participated in international events.
This made those acquaintances who wanted to find him and avenge themselves unable to locate him, which made them extremely resentful.
Now that Bai Yu has finally reappeared, this is a rare opportunity to wash away their shame, and they certainly won't miss it.
However, Bai Yu, who has just finished training, is in excellent form. Even though it is past midnight in China, he is not affected in the slightest.
By the time he reached the first hurdle, he had already pulled two steps ahead of the second-place runner.
Two body lengths may not seem like much, but you have to understand that this is the very beginning of the match, the time when everyone is in their best form.
During this period, Bai Yu was in the lead, and as long as he maintained his lead, the gap would continue to widen.
Especially those who knew Bai Yu well understood one thing: during the match, they must never let Bai Yu take the initiative. Once he did, he would control the entire match.
So in the 3,000-meter obstacle course, it's basically a sprint from the start. Any runner familiar with Bai Yu will rush forward without paying any attention to their own pace.
This left the newcomers in the long-distance running world bewildered, as the older runners kept pushing forward without any regard for their own physical strength.
Then a polarized scene appeared on the field. Bai Yu was running in the lead as the pacesetter, and about three meters behind him were five or six black runners closely following him.
About ten meters behind these people were other competitors, competing at their own pace.
