The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 332 The Winner's Choice!

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the arrogant and domineering anti-rebel team was suddenly overturned by a wave.

The small fishing boat that passed by them did not stop at all, and continued to rush towards the new chaotic area ahead.

Team 1... Team 2... Team 3...

Amidst the utter chaos of the Fish Boat Festival, Qin Lang and his companions shouted resounding slogans as they chased after the fleeing enemy.

Each time a team from the Anti-Leap Society passes by, a giant wave rises precisely, capsizing the opposing fishing boat and instantly sending all of their food spirits back into the star vein.

Soon, the Snowstorm Team and the East Lake Team, which were at the forefront, came into Qin Lang and the others' view, but their situation was just as bad. The third team that was running alongside them was also a member of the Anti-Leap Society!

"Damn it!" Ren Xi struggled to steer the boat around the attackers' attacks, gritting her teeth. "Who are these guys? Don't they know the rules of the Fishing Boat Tournament?"

"They're from the Anti-Leap Society!" Zhang Yi shouted from the Wind and Snow team, not far from the East Lake team, his eyes also filled with anger. "These guys don't care about the rules at all."

"They're here specifically to cause trouble!"

"What should we do then?" Ren Xi turned to look at Zhang Yi. "If this continues, the ship will sink!"

"We have no choice but to rely on our Food Spirits." Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and quickly summoned his own Food Spirit. "Ren Xi, let me tell you, this is an unexpected situation, not because our Snowstorm Team is weaker than your East Lake Team!"

"Let's have another competition at next year's Fish Boat Festival!"

"Who cares!" Ren Xi stood up, stomped her foot, and summoned her own Food Spirit. "So what if I lose the qualification!"

“You bastard…” Zhang Yi glanced at Ren Xi in surprise, then looked back at the rampaging Anti-Leapist team in front of him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, “In that case, let’s attack together!”

"Although I don't want to team up with you, it seems that's the only option for now!" Ren Xi pointed at the Anti-Leaping Society team.

"Give me…"

"boom!"

Before she could finish speaking, a giant wave instantly capsized the fishing boat of the anti-jumping team, causing Ren Xi's eyes to widen in shock.

This...this was done by Zhang Yi?
Impossible! How could Zhang Yi be this strong?!
Zhang Yi, on the other side, also looked astonished.

How could Ren Xi be so strong?!

"Quickly put the food spirit back!" The Little Rainbow Ship sailed past the two fishing boats. Qin Lang glanced at Zhang Yi and Ren Xi, his gaze lingering for a moment on the jade pendant that had fallen out of Ren Xi's clothes due to the earlier shaking.

"Your qualification for the competition will not be revoked because you did not make a move."

what?
Oh, right!
Zhang Yi and Ren Xi quickly came to their senses and carefully put away their respective food spirits.

"Tu tu tu tu——"

The sound of an electric motor drew closer quickly. Qi Bing arrived at high speed in a speedboat, which already carried several people—all members of the Anti-Leap Society who had attacked and been knocked unconscious by Xiao Cai earlier.
She skillfully led her team to retrieve the last group of Anti-Leapists, nodded to Qin Lang and the others, and said, "Leave the cleanup to me, the conference continues."

As they were talking, the security team had already made the arrest, and the speedboat made a neat drift and sped towards the shore.

"As expected of an electric boat, it's much faster than our fishing boats," Cao Dongdong clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhao Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes. "So, shouldn't we continue?"

"Now, it seems we're in the leading group." "That's right." Qin Lang took a deep breath. "Let's keep pushing forward, for victory in the Fish Boat Race!"

"Okay!" x4
The other four shouted a rallying cry and set off again.

"Our competition isn't over yet!" Zhang Yi glanced at Ren Xi. "Don't think that just because of what happened earlier, we'll let you off easy."

"All members of the Snowstorm Team, charge!"

"Who needs you to let them pass?" Ren Xi rolled her eyes and waved her hand sharply towards the finish line. "East Lake Team, everyone, chase after them!"

Three fishing boats raced each other across Leap Fish Lake, with a flag standing tall ahead, fluttering in the wind – that was the finish line of the fishing boat festival.

Whoever can take down that flag will be the winner of the Fish Boat Festival.

However, this is not a simple matter either.

Leaving aside the competition between the fishing boat teams, the flag itself is also in motion, moving back and forth across the ten-kilometer finish line, adding more uncertainty to the final winner and making the fishing boat festival more interesting.

Judging from the direction the flag was moving, Qin Lang glanced at the Donghu team and the Fengxue team standing right next to him, and forcefully turned the rudder in his hand.

Almost simultaneously, Ren Xi and Zhang Yi, who were in charge of steering, also turned the rudder to adjust the direction of the fishing boat, although the three of them turned it at different angles.

Ren Xi and Zhang Yi's fishing boats rushed straight toward the winning flag, while Qin Lang's Xiao Cai Hao seemed to overshoot, even exceeding the flag's position.

Did Qin Lang make a mistake?
Ren Xi and Zhang Yi both showed surprise in their eyes. They looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to spark with electricity.

It seems the ultimate winner will be chosen from among them!
Both sides put all their strength into rowing at top speed for a final sprint. Just as the fishing boat was getting closer and closer to the flag, a dramatic scene unfolded.

The flag actually headed straight for Qin Lang's fishing boat. Just as the flag and the boat were about to pass each other, Qin Lang reached out and pulled it up high above his head, revealing a smile.

It was a prediction!
Qin Lang predicted the flag's movement!

The winner of the Fishing Boat Competition has been decided!
"boom!"

Ren Xi and Zhang Yi's fishing boats collided violently. Seeing Qin Lang waving a flag and the other four cheering not far away, they were both amused and exasperated.

Oh no, now they're tied for second place.
-
"Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, let's give a warm round of applause to congratulate the Xiaocai team on winning the competition!"

The host's passionate voice resounded, eliciting enthusiastic cheers and applause from countless audience members.

On the makeshift podium, Qin Lang and his four companions stood side by side, waving to the audience amidst a shower of fireworks and ribbons.

"Now, please welcome Ms. Su Wanxia, ​​President of the Yuehu City Yuling Chef Association, to present the awards to the winners of our conference."

"An extremely rare Golden Lake perch!"

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Su Wanxia walked slowly to Qin Lang and the others with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with deep admiration.

"This is your winning prize, Golden Lake perch."

She picked up an exquisite fish tank and handed it to Qin Lang. Inside the tank was a bass with a body as bright as gold.

"Thank you, Chairman Su!"

Qin Lang held Xiao Cai's fish tank in one hand and carefully took the fish tank of Jin Hu perch with the other, his eyes filled with excitement.
