Soon, the staff responsible for weighing arrived at Wang Xiaomin’s fishing spot along with the referee.
"Hey, Xiaomin, not bad! You caught another streak in the second half!" Referee Lao Zhang greeted Wang Xiaomin.
"Just got lucky, could you weigh the fish for ? By the way, how many pounds is the big edge?" Wang Xiaomin took the Fish Guard off the Fishing Box slot and handed it to the young staff mber.
"The number one big edge is 117 pounds! The others aren’t much, generally around 60 to 70 pounds, 70 to 80 pounds!"
"Oh okay, weigh mine then! There should still be a chance!" Wang Xiaomin looked quite calm on the surface, but a huge weight in his heart was almost lifted.
The hoist directly lifted Wang Xiaomin’s Fish Guard out of the water, dried the water off, and soon the electronic scale stabilized with the numbers.
47.3kg! Converted to pounds, it’s 94.6 pounds, just 0.4 pounds off from Yue Feng’s previous estimated performance limit, which could be considered a precise prediction.
"Wow! Not bad, 47.3 kilograms! This almost ensures it!" At the mont the results ca out, the referee couldn’t help but exclaim.
In fact, before the end of the competition, the referees had already been privately analyzing the final performance. The only variable now was Wang Xiaomin’s performance, and with this weight, the referee was basically certain of Wang Xiaomin’s ranking. The probability of winning the championship with the highest Total Points exceeded eighty percent and was basically secure!
The subsequent statistics of other anglers in the sa group confird everyone’s guesses, with Wang Xiaomin’s performance ranking third in his group, only slightly behind two others. With a Total Points of six, he firmly took the championship of the finals!
"Haha, Wang Xiaomin, on behalf of the online brothers and sisters, I’d like to ask you, how do you feel now that the results have co out?"
At this ti, Tian Tian held a microphone, followed by a caraman, as they entered the champion interview mode in advance.
Wang Xiaomin instinctively scratched his head, "Uh, it feels okay! I expected to get fourth or fifth in the group, didn’t think I’d do a bit better than expected!
The position in the last match was really bad, managed to make a spot co alive in the end purely out of luck! I almost gave up hope!"
"Haha, that’s not what you said, during the competition, you never gave up at all!
Both I and Teacher Yue Feng were always observing your performance in the match, you’ve got a tenacious character and strong ntal resilience!"
"Hehe, you’re too kind, by the way, where’s our captain? Where did Brother Feng go?"
"He seems to have gone to the restroom! Oh, there he cos! At the entrance!"
The cara turned, and Wang Xiaomin followed the direction to see, locking eyes with the approaching Yue Feng.
Yue Feng was smiling, with a relaxed deanor, "How’d it go? Finished weighing in the last match? What rank?"
"Third, Total Points six! Got it!" Wang Xiaomin grinned as if presenting a treasure to the captain.
"Well done, I knew I didn’t misjudge you! This competition’s prize money, the club won’t take a cut, after taxes, the rest is for you to freely allocate!" Yue Feng gave Wang Xiaomin a thumbs up!
"Really? That’s aweso!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaomin’s eyes lit up. If he got the prize money, then the issue with the house would be resolved. Combined with his savings and bonuses from the past two years, he’d have enough to buy a house over a hundred square ters outright!
"Why? Have you decided what to buy?"
"Of course, a house! I promised Taozi to marry her!"
"You brat, Taozi is still in school! What’s the rush!"
"Hehe, just preparing in advance! With this prize money, the house funds are pretty much covered!"
...
The two exchanged banter as if discussing sothing that was naturally ant to happen, even Tian Tian was lost in thought.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Zoned out?" Yue Feng waved a hand in front of Tian Tian, reminding her with a smile.
"Nothing! Buying a house outright at such a young age, that’s impressive!"
"The average price in our city W is only a thousand sothing per square ter! Pretty much enough, if not I’ll pitch in a bit more! Enough chit-chat, we’re still live streaming, the award ceremony will be later, go get ready!"
"Okay!"
...
Half an hour later, all results were published through the social dia account and on-site postings.
Wang Xiaomin, with a performance of three first places and one third place, achieved a Total Points of six, successfully winning the championship of the finals and receiving the grand prize of a million!
The award ceremony soon started! A lot of thought was put into preparing the awards ceremony for the finals, with the stall owner setting up the podium separately, adding a touch of class.
As the host, Tian Tian took the stage, laying out the customary opening remarks, and soon the award ceremony began.
From the twentieth to the eleventh place, they went on stage to receive their awards and take photos.
Places tenth to fifth went on stage to receive awards and take photos.
The top five individual anglers took the stage.
It was soon the champion, Wang Xiaomin’s, turn.
"Now, please welco the overall champion of this Yue Feng Fishing Tackle Cup Indoor Black Pit Million Grand Prize Competition, young angler Wang Xiaomin, to the stage to receive his award!"
Having gone up to receive awards several tis before, Wang Xiaomin was no longer as nervous as the first ti. He confidently went on stage and stood in front of everyone.
"First, congratulations to Wang Xiaomin for successfully winning the championship among the many Black Pit experts!
On this day, is there anything you’d like to say to everyone? Today you are number one, as long as it isn’t illegal or against rules, feel free to speak your mind!"
Wang Xiaomin took the microphone, "I was lucky to win the championship in this competition, and I’m still quite anxious inside!
In competitions, besides personal ability, there are uncontrollable factors like timing and location!
The draw for the final ga wasn’t good, almost lost the championship, but ultimately Lady Luck favored , and I managed to reel in so more fish in the second half! That’s how I ultimately won the championship!
I’m not good with words, coming from a poor background, with dreams to fight in the city, without money or connections, the little achievent I have today, I am very grateful to one person!
He is my captain, the Chairman of Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, Teacher Yue Feng!
Although he never formally accepted apprentices, and I never formally beca his student, in my heart, he is my ntor for life!
He taught the basics of competitive fishing, taught us how to conduct ourselves, taught us how to deal with difficulties and setbacks! He taught us how to find our footing in this society, and how to earn others’ respect with strength!
In front of the cara and to all the ntors and friends present, I, Wang Xiaomin, solemnly promise that I will always be a part of Yuefeng Fishing Tackle, no matter what achievents I reach in the future, whether I fish or compete again in the future!"
