Besides Bai Yu, who is considered a strong contender for the championship, several other teams and individuals are also considered strong contenders, including Lao Liu and Chang Le.
As for Lao Deng, he wasn't very lucky. He didn't get a spot in the draw, so he wasn't participating in this competition.
However, there were quite a few internet celebrities participating in this competition. Lao Liu not only participated, but he also brought his apprentice with him. It is said that his apprentice's skills are very good and he has won many awards.
Then there's Chang Le. Well, like Bai Yu and the others, he's a grassroots player in the fishing world.
The difference is that one of them does sea fishing, while the other fishes for everything—truly everything.
Because Chang Le doesn't just fish; he fishes for other things too. Anything that's in the water and can be caught is within his fishing range.
In addition, when he's fishing and preparing bait, he uses all sorts of things. He usually uses some bait, but if he's unlucky, he might use a car or prepare the bait himself. That's perfectly normal for him.
It's fair to say that this guy has done everything he could to fish, and all of them are things that ordinary people would do.
This is why he has gained a large number of loyal fans online. This time, it was a large group of fans who helped him sign up, and that's how he came.
These are some of the more well-known freshwater fishermen. There are also a few sea fishing bloggers, such as Nansha Fishing King, Qingbing, and Jiajia Little Cousin.
These bloggers, who are sea fishing enthusiasts, have all gained considerable popularity in this competition, making them strong contenders for the title of most popular contestant.
That makes perfect sense. After all, Bai Yu's fan fishing competition is held in the ocean, which aligns with their business. If they can't compete with those who fish for freshwater fish, it would be a bit embarrassing.
That being said, fishing is a matter full of surprises, and no one can claim to be truly amazing until the results are in.
After interviewing some online celebrities and amateur contestants, the live stream then focused on the scenery of the sea.
They set off around 4 PM, and by the time Keke and the others finished their interviews, it was already evening, just in time to livestream the sunset for a while.
The sunset at sea is very beautiful, but if you watch it in the live stream, you have to ignore the sounds of the yachts and the sea breeze.
Around 6 p.m., as the sun was about to sink below the horizon, Bai Yu and the others began their meal.
The food on this sightseeing yacht is quite good; tonight's dinner is served buffet style.
Then Bai Yu acted as a mukbang streamer in front of the camera for a while, and then ended the broadcast after finishing her dinner.
The next time it will be broadcast, it will be at 8 a.m. the following day, and then it will be time to prepare for the first day of the competition.
After the live stream ended, Bai Yu and the others prepared to rest.
For Bai Yu and the others, taking a boat ride was already a very common thing. Unlike the other contestants who were excited about their first boat ride, they rested early.
However, before going to sleep, Bai Yu and Li Shuang made a bet: how many people would oversleep the next morning.
When they were resting, it was already 10 p.m., but even so, many athletes were still playing on the deck or in the yacht's entertainment room.
Given their schedules, many of them will definitely not be able to get up the next day.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning at seven o'clock, Bai Yu was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock, and then he got out of bed.
It's not that Bai Yudi is a light sleeper and can be woken up by an alarm clock, but rather that the room they stayed in was a four-person room, and there weren't just one alarm clock, but four that went off at seven o'clock sharp.
If Bai Yu couldn't wake up after being bombarded by four alarm clocks, he would have fallen into a deep sleep!
Just as Bai Yu got up, Wang Hai and the other two were also woken up by the alarm clock. They gradually got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
When they finished brushing their teeth and washing their faces and arrived at the restaurant, all they saw were staff members wearing blue clothes and very few contestants like Bai Yu and his group wearing the same red clothes.
This yacht is a cruise ship, and its restaurant is enormous, capable of accommodating hundreds of diners at the same time.
Even so, there aren't many contestants who get up early to eat breakfast. Could it be because they get up relatively early?
This isn't right. It's almost 8 o'clock, and the competition starts at 9 o'clock. They'll be going to the island in batches later.
If you don't get up early, you'll definitely be at the back of the line for the speedboat, which will waste your race time.
Even so, there were only a few participants who got up early today.
Just then, Zhang Yuxin arrived at the restaurant with a staff member, saying something to the camera as she walked.
Judging from the looks of it, it seems that the live broadcast of this competition has officially begun.
Indeed, that was the case; their company's account started broadcasting at around 4 a.m., showing the sunrise over the sea.
It was just a simple sunrise, with no commentary from any staff. The only sounds in the live stream were the sea breeze and waves.
Even so, their live stream still had a considerable number of viewers, reaching a peak of 20,000 to 30,000.
While 20,000 people may not seem like much, their company's livestreaming room has historically reached a peak of over 10 million concurrent viewers.
However, it depends on the time of day. If it's early morning or around 4 or 5 a.m., and the live stream is just showing the sunrise, then having this many viewers is already quite good.
Then at 7:30, Zhang Yuxin appeared in the live broadcast room and introduced the competition process. She then took the cameraman to the restaurant to see what the staff and contestants were having for breakfast.
Then they ran into Bai Yu and his group of four at the restaurant. As soon as Zhang Yuxin saw Bai Yu, she immediately ended the current topic and brought the cameraman to the four of them, preparing to let them stand in front of the camera for a while.
"Good morning, Mr. Bai, Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, Mr. Lu! How did you sleep last night?"
"Um, it's alright, you slept pretty well. Have you had breakfast? If not, would you like some to eat with us?"
Bai Yu was very friendly towards her employees and quickly invited Zhang Yuxin to have breakfast together.
"No, no, Mr. Bai, I still have to go to work. If I go to eat, who will do the live stream?"
"Hey, why can't we do a live stream anytime? Why don't you just let this guy take the camera and wander around the restaurant, filming other people?"
"By the way, has the cameraman eaten yet? If not, find a place to set up the camera and let the viewers in the live stream watch from a fixed position for a while. We'll continue the live stream for them after we finish eating."
Little did he know that Bai Yu's words would dig a hole for himself.
Then Zhang Yuxin gave the cameraman a look and said:
"Brother Wang, did you hear what Boss Bai said? Find a tripod, set up the camera here, and point the lens at our Boss Bai. Let him do a mukbang for his family."
Let's take this time to eat quickly, and then we can get back to work!
"Well, Mr. Bai, thank you for your help now. Just give us about ten minutes; we can eat breakfast very quickly."
As soon as Zhang Yuxin finished speaking, Brother Wang put the camera he was holding on the dining table, then opened his backpack, took out a folding tripod, and set up the camera.
Their actions were so smooth, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand. After setting up the camera, they turned around and left to get breakfast from the restaurant's food area.
Then Bai Yu and the other three were left standing there, staring at each other, not knowing what to say.
However, the viewers in the live stream were laughing so hard at what they saw that they couldn't stop smiling.
Anyone familiar with Yuxue Shipping Company knows that Bai Yu and his three companions are absolutely the core figures and the absolute leadership of the company.
Zhang Yuxin is a live streamer at their company, an employee. What's happening in front of them now is a scene where an employee has betrayed their boss.
How could people who get up early to watch the live stream not be happy?
The audience members who can get up this early are all working people. They all want to rip off their bosses, but they don't dare to. They can only watch others do it.
"Yeah, that scene was a bit awkward. How did it turn into our live stream? And even if it's a live stream, at least give us a tablet with internet access. How are we supposed to broadcast if we can't see the comments?"
Seeing the slightly awkward scene before him, Bai Yu gave an embarrassed smile and said.
"Exactly, didn't they know there was no internet here? Are they just going to make us bury our heads in our food?"
Brother Yu, if you ask me, Zhang Yuxin's behavior is extremely irresponsible. We should punish her to teach her a lesson and prevent this from happening again.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think? You're in charge of the live-streaming department, and Zhang Yuxin is also under your supervision. What do you think of this proposal?"
No sooner had Bai Yu finished speaking than Li Shuang chimed in, still looking at Lu Sheng with a mischievous grin.
Zhang Yuxin is Lu Sheng's partner, and Lu Sheng is also Zhang Yuxin's boss. But in addition to these relationships, they also have another layer of relationship: they are boyfriend and girlfriend.
As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first." The two of them used to do live streams together every day, so it's only natural that they would develop feelings for each other over time.
Furthermore, Bai Yu's company doesn't prohibit office romances; in fact, they encourage them as long as they don't affect work. It's a good thing that employees have resolved their emotional issues.
In response to Li Shuang's suggestion, Lu Sheng only replied with five words: "Eat your food." His protective attitude was on full display!
Of course, Li Shuang's suggestion wasn't really about fining Zhang Yuxin; it was just a joke, a way to liven things up during the live stream, and it ended with a laugh.
The joke is over, but the live stream will continue.
In order to buy more time for Zhang Yuxin and the other two, Bai Yu and the other three started a mukbang. They were already almost full, but then they had no choice but to each get a bowl of noodles.
After they finished eating, they went back to their dorm, grabbed their fishing gear bags, and then boarded a speedboat to head to the competition venue.
They are currently in the sea area about 100 to 200 nautical miles east of Sanya, and there is an uninhabited island right in front of their yacht.
This island is really small. Bai Yu and his friends came here before when they went fishing at sea. The entire island is only two or three square kilometers in size, and you can walk around the island in about ten minutes.
The cruise ship carrying the athletes was anchored about 200 meters from the island. The ship was drafting too deep, and there were likely hidden reefs near the island.
In this situation, maintaining a safe distance from the island is essential to ensure the safety of the cruise ship.
This is also the main reason why Bai Yu and his team prepared eight speedboats. Only with a sufficient number of speedboats can they quickly transport so many athletes and staff.
Soon, Bai Yu and his three companions arrived at the island by speedboat, found the staff to collect their bait, and then looked for a suitable fishing spot on the island.
