As time passed, it soon came to noon. A staff member came over and told Bai Yu and the others that it was time to eat.
Of course, the choice of meals is up to the player. If he wants to continue fishing and doesn't want to eat, that's fine too, since it's the player who will go hungry anyway.
However, when Bai Yu and his three companions heard that it was time to eat, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng did not hesitate at all. They reeled in their fishing rods and prepared to go to the west side of the island to get their lunch.
They arrived on the island from the west side, so the staff set up their office area here. The contestants need to come here to get drinks or food.
"Brother Yu, Ah Sheng and I went to get lunch. How much do you and Ah Hai plan to eat?"
Before going to get the food, Li Shuang asked Bai Yu how much she ate today.
This is very necessary. If Bai Yu doesn't have a good appetite today, he can only eat one boxed meal. If he has a good appetite and is quite hungry, he can easily eat five or six.
So, before going to get the food, is it really necessary to ask Bai Yu?
"Well, I didn't do much exercise today, and I didn't catch any big fish, so I'll just eat a little bit. Four portions will be enough."
"Okay, Ah Hai, how many portions do you want?"
"I want four portions too, with meat in them. If you have chicken legs, bring me two."
"Sure, then I'll go get the food with Ah Sheng."
After Li Shuang finished speaking, he left with A Sheng and headed towards the staff.
About ten minutes later, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng returned, each carrying a bag containing a total of sixteen boxed meals.
Of the sixteen boxed meals, Bai Yu, Wang Hai, and Lu Sheng each ate four, Li Shuang ate two, and the remaining two...
This was prepared for the staff who filmed them. As the organizer of this competition, who is the most suspected of cheating?
Without a doubt, it must be Bai Yu and his three companions who participated in this competition. If the four of them wanted to pull some kind of shady deal, it would be too easy for them.
Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness of this competition, Bai Yu and his team hired a cameraman to film the entire competition process.
This filming wasn't just about filming one of them, but rather about filming all four of them fishing from a slightly farther distance, without changing the camera position throughout.
It's like surveillance, to prevent them from doing anything underhanded.
The two extra boxed meals were prepared for the cameraman.
Their three meals a day are prepared by dedicated staff on the cruise ship, then packaged and distributed on the island.
The lunch today was quite good; not only were there Chinese dishes, but there were even Western dishes.
For example, Bai Yu took a boxed lunch from the box and found steak inside, and it even looked like a whole cut of steak!
Bai Yu took a bite and was greeted by the rich aroma of beef fat. The steak was of quite good quality, with a very high fat content and a creamy, milky flavor.
No, is the food at this competition really that good? How come he didn't know they had steak on their menu?
"Shuangzi, when you were having lunch there, did you see how many of these boxed meals with steak were there?"
"Is Mengniu really that extravagant? They're serving us steak for lunch? Did they slaughter all the cows at their dairy farm?"
To be honest, this whole-cut steak is really delicious. Every bite is incredibly satisfying, filled with the aroma of meat.
That's why Bai Yu asked Li Shuang how many of these boxed meals with steak were there, and how much sponsorship Mengniu had provided this time.
"Brother Yu, I don't know the exact number, but there should be forty or fifty portions."
"Mengniu has provided a lot of sponsorship this time, so we can't be sloppy. In the upcoming matches, we should try not to drink water. If we have to drink anything, we should drink Mengniu milk, whether it's pure milk or yogurt. They've provided plenty of it."
"Sure, their Ternsue is pretty good, let's drink Ternsue later."
While eating lunch, Bai Yu and his friends chatted about how to get more screen time for Mengniu.
Anta definitely got the most exposure in this competition, since Bai Yu and his teammates wore clothes sponsored by Anta.
Now that Mengniu is doing well in the catering industry, Bai Yu and his team naturally need to find ways to increase Mengniu's exposure.
Bai Yu and his three companions didn't do a live-streamed meal today, since there wasn't a proper lunch break during the match.
Even though Bai Yu and his three companions are eating right now, the other contestants aren't eating at all; they're fishing as fast as they can.
Since this is a fishing competition, the camera work should focus on fishing. Since others are fishing and catching fish, Bai Yu and his group can't do a food broadcast, otherwise it would be unfair to them.
Many fishing bloggers participated in this competition. They not only wanted to win the championship, but also wanted to gain more exposure. They are working overtime fishing now, just to get more attention.
Bai Yu and the others ate lunch very quickly. In just over ten minutes, Bai Yu finished four boxed lunches. It wasn't so much that he ate, but rather that he poured the food into his mouth. He ate lunch in a clattering motion.
Instead of immediately going fishing, Bai Yu strolled around the shore of the small island.
His stroll wasn't just a casual walk after a meal; it was purposeful.
As mentioned before, there are restrictions on the bait for this competition. Over the five days, they will only be provided with two kilograms of shrimp as bait.
I don't know how much two pounds of shrimp is, but he had about forty here, and he used up more than half of them in just one morning.
Keep in mind that the morning match only lasted three hours, and he used up more than half of that time. There were still seven or eight hours of match time waiting for him in the afternoon.
Judging from the consumption rate this morning, the little bit of bait left is definitely not enough for him, so he needs to find some more bait to replenish his stock.
As for why we were strolling around the island?
He must be looking for bait. On the island, the only things he can use as bait are conch and scallops. If he's lucky, he might find some shrimp or even octopus.
However, the probability of this is not very high. If there were shrimp or octopuses on this island, they would have been eaten by seabirds long ago.
Therefore, the main target of the white fishermen is sea snails, especially the spicy snails, which are very abundant on the rocky beaches, and you can often pick up a lot of them at once.
After Bai Yu left, Li Shuang and the other two quickly finished their lunch and then headed in the direction Bai Yu had left.
When they finally saw Bai Yu, he was squatting on a deserted beach, looking down and searching for something.
When the three of them arrived at Bai Yu's side, they saw that Bai Yu had already picked up a bag full of spicy snails.
"Hey, Brother Yu, you've got a good haul! This bag must weigh four or five pounds. Why don't you share some with us brothers? It'll save us the trouble of picking them ourselves."
Li Shuang looked at Bai Yu's bag of spicy snails, then moved closer to Bai Yu and said in a fawning tone.
"Want some? No way! I picked these myself. If you want them, pick some yourselves. This little bit of snails might not even be enough for me."
Let's make do with this for today. Tonight, we'll catch some squid, and that'll be enough for the competition later.
"Alright, you lot, stop looking at me. I'm not giving you any snails. Hurry up and pick them yourselves."
Bai Yu flatly rejected Li Shuang's suggestion, then he carried a bag of snails away from the shore, found a rock to sit on, and watched Li Shuang and the other two pick up snails.
Picking up snails isn't troublesome, especially since there are quite a few of them; they often appear in large quantities, and a little effort is enough to last for a while.
So it didn't take long for Li Shuang and the other two to collect a lot of snails, and they followed Bai Yu toward their fishing spot.
Just then, Bai Yu, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around to look at Li Shuang and the other two with a mysterious expression.
"Shuangzi, I have something delicious here. I wonder if the three of you are interested in trying it? Don't worry, it's definitely good stuff, and I won't charge you. If you want some, I'll give it to you."
