The reason why the contestants' names are not listed is that many of them used online names, which are the names of their respective platform accounts.
Some people have very long usernames for their accounts, with some having more than ten characters. How are the organizers supposed to type those names on the forms?
If you were to use your real name, you'd be an internet celebrity. Everyone would only know your online name; who would know your real name?
Not everyone is like Bai Yu, whose online name contains the characters "Bai Yu". Some people are unwilling to provide their real names.
After all, it's only been 20 years, and current internet regulations don't require all internet celebrities to use their real names. It's understandable that some people are unwilling to reveal their real names.
Therefore, when announcing the results, the organizers can only use the numbers, which are the individual fishing spot numbers.
When Bai Yu saw number 43, he was stunned. He knew that number 43 was his fishing spot number, but he did not expect that his score on the first day would rank first.
After all, Bai Yu had caught quite a lot of fish today, but they were mostly small fish, with the largest weighing only twenty pounds.
According to information provided by the event organizers, the largest fish in the black pit where the competition venue is located weighs forty or fifty kilograms, and there is even the possibility of fish that are larger.
Given the presence of such a large fish, Bai Yu truly did not expect that his 300-plus-pound result would rank first.
Meanwhile, Wang Hai's performance was also quite good. Number 88 was Wang Hai's fishing spot number, and he ranked fourth. The two brothers occupied two of the top five spots.
This was undoubtedly good news for the two who were fishing for freshwater fish for the first time.
So at dinner, they all ate an extra bowl of rice compared to usual, and only returned to the guesthouse provided by the organizers after they were full.
Bai Hao and his brother were happy, but this time there were many who were unhappy.
Especially after the results were released, some contestants who were curious about the first place winner found out that the winner was a sea angler, which was a huge blow to them!
After all, many of the participants in these competitions are self-proclaimed fishing experts or have been given the title of fishing masters.
But now these fishing experts and masters are no match for someone who does sea fishing, and a novice at that at that. How can they accept this?
Despite having tens of millions of followers, and over a hundred million across two platforms, Bai Yu is a complete novice when it comes to freshwater fishing. He has no notable achievements, so no one respects him.
If you were to replace the first place winner with Lao Deng or Lao Liu, who are recognized masters in the fishing world, they wouldn't have any complaints. If they lost, they would only think that their fishing skills were not up to par and that they weren't as good as Lao Deng or the others.
But now...
After returning to their guesthouse and resting briefly, Bai Yu and his brother went out for a run. They had eaten a bit too much for dinner, so they needed to get some exercise; life is about movement, after all.
While Bai Yu and his brother started running, a group of competitors gathered in another guesthouse. Their reason for gathering was quite absurd: they wanted to defend the dignity of the freshwater fish world and snatch the first place back from Bai Yu!
? ? ?
This is why Bai Yu didn't know these things; otherwise, he would have asked them face-to-face what it meant to defend the dignity of the freshwater fish community. Are you all alright?
Anyway, no matter what others think or do, it has nothing to do with Bai Yu and his brother. So what if they take first place? Bai Yu doesn't care.
After all, Bai Yu and his friends came to participate in this competition with the idea of just having fun. Whether they came in first or not didn't matter. Even if the prize money for first place was as high as 200,000, he wouldn't care too much. Being happy was the most important thing.
Around 10 p.m., the two brothers had finished washing up and gone to bed.
For Bai Yu now, he no longer needs to edit videos himself. He only needs to send the video he filmed today to the company's post-production department, and someone will naturally edit it.
Moreover, they immediately edited Bai Yu's videos and released them as soon as possible, keeping up with current events and releasing Bai Yu's latest updates.
There's really not much for him to worry about; all he needs to do is film videos.
As for resting so early, that's just his habit; they usually rest very early when they have nothing to do.
In addition, Bai Yu didn't know many people during this competition, and no one came to catch up with him.
After all, the current online environment is still relatively self-centered. Most online celebrities and bloggers are thinking about how to increase their own fan base. The kind of collaboration between major online celebrities to expand their respective fan bases is still some time away.
Therefore, even if the contestants who came to participate in the competition know that Bai Yu, such a huge blogger, exists, they generally will not take the initiative to seek out Bai Yu.
Putting aside whether they could gain any traffic from Bai Yu, they were more afraid that Bai Yu would steal their own traffic.
After all, in the eyes of these people, Bai Yu must have some extraordinary abilities to have gained tens of millions of fans, and they might not be able to outmaneuver her.
In the suburbs, no one was looking for him, and the two brothers didn't know anyone else. With so many factors combined, what else could Bai Yu and Wang Hai do besides sleep?
......
Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy!
The next morning at six o'clock, Bai Yu and Wang Hai woke up and walked out of the guesthouse feeling refreshed.
"Ah, it looks like it's going to be another beautiful day! It's a pity that not many people get up at this time of day, so only the two of us can see such a beautiful sunrise!"
Bai Yu walked out of the guesthouse, stretching and chatting with Wang Hai.
"Absolutely, that's because our schedules are quite regular! But Brother Yu, I disagree with what you just said about today being a good day. I just checked the weather forecast, and it says it might rain today."
"Rain? How could that be? Look how beautiful the sunrise is on the horizon. It's such a bright sun, how could it rain? Do you think this is Hainan Province, where the rain can just start whenever you want?"
"Who knows? That's what the weather forecast says anyway. Whether it rains or not, it doesn't matter."
"Yeah, whether it rains or not isn't up to us. Let's go for a run, and then find a place to have breakfast!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he led Wang Hai to run around the village again.
Since Bai Yu and his group arrived in Hubei, they have been running the most these past two days. They run a lap around the village every time, which is several kilometers long. This has become a must for them.
After finishing their morning run, the two brothers went to the food street for breakfast. It has to be said that the athletes in the race might get up a little late, but for these vendors who make a living by setting up stalls, they arrive very early and set up their stalls very early.
Today, Bai Yu and his brother had a more targeted breakfast, mainly consisting of noodles, such as hot dry noodles, hot and cold noodles, and spicy oil noodles. They ate four or five kinds.
Well, aside from the portion being a bit small, the two brothers were quite satisfied with the noodles.
Just breakfast cost Bai Yu seventy or eighty yuan. This is only because Bai Yu has some wealth now and has achieved financial freedom. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to eat like that.
After breakfast, the two brothers went back to the guesthouse to change their clothes. They had sweated a little from their morning run, so they naturally needed to change before the race.
As nine o'clock approached, Bai Yu and Wang Hai carried their fishing tackle bags and headed towards the field. Today's competition was about to begin.
Bai Yu arrived at the fishing platform with his tackle bag, just like yesterday, in the same familiar spot. The anglers on both sides were the same as yesterday.
After exchanging brief greetings with the anglers on either side, Bai Yu opened his tackle bag, took out his fishing rod, and prepared to fish.
Once the fishing spots for this competition are determined, they won't change, so as a neighbor, Bai Yu naturally plans to build good relationships with the other competitors.
After all, Bai Yu simply didn't know any acquaintances; he wasn't aloof or unwilling to talk to others.
Moreover, even if Bai Yu didn't want to greet others, they would still greet him. The reason was simple: he was number one yesterday.
When Bai Yu arrived at his fishing spot, the other anglers greeted him and asked about his fishing techniques from the previous day, hoping to learn from his experience.
Bai Yu naturally answered honestly, because he really didn't think other players could learn anything from him when it came to fishing.
After all, Bai Yu doesn't rely much on skill when fishing; he mainly relies on luck. He was lucky yesterday, and he's lucky today too.
Therefore, Bai Yu is also full of expectations for today's fishing. If he can get first place again today, his ranking in this competition will be basically secured.
If he gets a good ranking this time and receives a prize, he and Wang Hai have already figured out how to spend the money!
Although he doesn't care about the 200,000 yuan prize, if he could actually get it, I don't think anyone would complain about having too much money.
After all, not everyone is Jack Ma. There are plenty of people who are interested in money, and Bai Yu is no exception.
Bai Yu then baited the hook and cast it into the water in front of him.
Regarding fishing, Bai Yu used the exact same fishing rod, line, hook, and float as he did yesterday.
Even the fishing spot was the same as yesterday. After casting his line, he used a small spoon to throw in a few dozen kernels of corn, simply creating a small fishing spot to attract the fish.
