Bai Yu came up with a way to recover his losses; he didn't want all 250 points of luck to go down the drain.
Although using 250 luck points completely cut off any potential benefits Xiaobenzi might gain in this competition, Bai Yu did not benefit from using those luck points.
In Bai Yu's view, this was a waste, especially since it was being used on a bunch of idiots; it was an even greater waste.
But if we can use these little rascals to salvage some of his losses, then it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
As for Bai Yu's idea, it was to bet on Xiao Benzi, believing that Xiao Benzi would definitely come in last place in this competition.
Although Bai Yu's way of making a profit had a bit of a gambling element, he didn't believe that with Brother Tongzi restricting the opponent, they could still achieve good results in this competition.
As Bai Yu turned on his computer and connected to his satellite network, he logged onto the official website of the betting company, found the webpage for this competition, and clicked to take a look.
Although the website was entirely in English and Bai Yu didn't recognize a single word, he knew where the search function was.
Then Bai Yu searched for this little idiot's team: Yamato.
I don't know what these little bastards are thinking. They claim to be Yamato people everywhere they go. Given their family situation, who knows how many pure Yamato people are left? Maybe just a few inbreeding types.
However, the uniformity of their naming is also advantageous for Bai Yu, at least making it easier to search for.
Then he prepared to invest in Little Baka's team, selecting the designated ranking of 164th place, and the odds and the amount of money currently bet would appear on the screen.
You wouldn't believe it until you look; the last person to buy Little Baka's stuff spent quite a lot of money.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand... My goodness! Two hundred and twenty thousand US dollars to buy the last place in the notebook? Who the hell did this? Could it be that the notebook itself did it?
But that doesn't make sense either. The notebook's current performance is not bad. Although it's not in the top 50, it's in the middle. If you buy it yourself, this performance doesn't seem right.
Could it be? Could it be that someone in our family bought it?
Hiss, once this thought popped into my head, it was unstoppable. Given the relationship between our family and that little bastard, it seems we really could do something like this.
What? You're saying our family doesn't value money? This is over two hundred thousand US dollars, which is over a million RMB!
Do people in our family not value money?
That's not quite true. Although our family did have a good year in the past two years and we had some extra money on hand.
However, since the pandemic, various industries have been in a slump, and everyone's savings have plummeted, making life very difficult for everyone.
However, Bai Yu did not say that the more than 200,000 US dollars were all invested by one person. If it was invested by a group of people, each person would invest one or two US dollars, which is about ten dollars.
The amount of money isn't much, but it's enough to annoy those little bastards, so I think many people would still be willing to place bets.
"Tsk, what the hell should I say? I just came up with this idea, and someone else has already implemented it. You guys are really smart!"
"Fine, since you all hate that little bastard so much, I'll help you make some money too."
Bai Yu muttered to himself as he placed his bets on the available options.
He also placed a six-figure bet, starting with $100,000, all on the last place in Little Baka's team, with odds of 1 to 199.
Regardless, the Little Baga team is still in the upper-middle position. Judging from their team situation, as long as they perform normally and their fishing boat doesn't encounter any accidents, they are unlikely to be in last place.
But now an unexpected thing happened: Bai Yu spent 250 points of luck to fix their score for this competition at 14.
He refused to believe that the remaining 163 teams couldn't catch more than 14 tuna in other competitions.
If such a team really exists, then even if Bai Yu loses, he will accept it, because some teams are just too stupid.
After placing the bets, Bai Yu came back to the deck, but this time he didn't come out empty-handed. He took a few bottles of drinks and shared them with Li Shuang and the others.
Then he went back to his fishing spot. In his opinion, the last place must belong to Xiao Baga, but as for the first place, especially the double first place, Bai Yu was very confident. He wanted to win the championship!
Another skipjack tuna was caught on the hook and then cast into the sea.
You know what, even though skipjack tuna is relatively cheap and we humans don't particularly like to eat it, it's actually quite popular in the ocean.
Especially for large predators, they are even more interested in skipjack tuna.
Could it be because this guy has a lot of meat?
Indeed, for these sea fish, the entire ocean is salty. They live in the ocean year-round and have no particular taste preferences.
Or perhaps they can't taste anything at all; besides saltiness, there's nothing else to it, so all they care about is whether they can fill their stomachs.
Thinking about it that way, it seems quite reasonable; there's nothing wrong with using skipjack tuna for fishing.
Before long, Bai Yu caught another fish, and this time the commotion was no less than when he caught the bluefin tuna.
Upon feeling the movement on the fishing rod, Bai Yu was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he couldn't contain his joy.
One big fish after another took the bait, bringing him one step closer to his double championship title, which was truly something to be happy about.
That's not all. It wasn't just Bai Yu who had a good fishing day; Wang Hai and the other two were also doing very well, catching one big fish after another.
How lucky were they? Every hour, the number of tuna in Bai Yu's team would be updated on the leaderboard.
In just two hours, they regained the top spot with a score of 39, widening the gap between them and the second place by two points.
That's not all. After an hour, the gap became five lines, and after two hours, it became nine lines.
It's worth noting that during those two hours, the second-place team didn't fail to catch any tuna either; in fact, they caught quite a few, adding three or four tuna each time.
Even so, Bai Yu and his team were always far ahead of the second place, which left the event organizers completely bewildered, who even suspected that Bai Yu and his team had cheated.
However, whether it's the messages sent back by the staff or the footage captured by the live streaming equipment, it all proves one thing: every updated result was obtained by Bai Yu and his team, and none of them were faked.
For this reason, the organizers immediately adjusted the odds for Bai Yu's team, lowering them to the lowest possible level.
The current odds are 1:2.89.
