Let's go back to 2008, starting with a recreational fishing park.

After registering the young man and having Su Qing take him to draw a number, Jiang Xia rested on the sofa for a while longer.

However, overall I didn't get a good rest. Besides the athletes, there were also quite a few guests today.

Every now and then, someone would come over and chat with me for a bit.

Jiang Xia was not annoyed by this; on the contrary, he felt a faint sense of joy.

These are the various connections I've made in the month since my rebirth!

……

Soon, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing his meal, Jiangxia went to the dam of the reservoir.

This is the best viewing spot for this competition.

At this moment, the entire dam of the reservoir was bustling with people.

Moreover, not only on the dam, but also in the wasteland surrounding the reservoir, many people were standing there, ready to watch the game.

In the crowd, Jiang Xia even saw Huang Cuicui, the female owner of the hotel he had booked, and Chen Weihao, the angler from Jianghu.

He went over and greeted the two of them separately. After seeing their surprised expressions at the scene of the competition, Jiang Xia left satisfied.

What made Jiang Xia even more pleased was that during his stroll on the dam, he actually heard many great Confucian scholars debating the classics with him!

"That kid Jian Guo is really something, putting on such a grand show. I knew he must have come back from the big city because he couldn't make it here!"

"Yes, I've known this kid was good since he was a kid. This was all planned out in advance. He's come back from the big city to make a fortune in our little village!"

“…………”

"Let me tell you, Boss Jiang of Qingshan Fishing Park is something else. Don't let his young age fool you, he has a lot of influence. He even..."

"Really? This Boss Jiang looks quite extraordinary; he has a lucky air about him!"

“…………”

Whenever he hears people talking about him, Jiang Xia will unconsciously stand there with his hands behind his back, listen for a while, and then leave satisfied.

Besides this, Jiang Xia, standing on the dam, also saw a strange phenomenon.

"What's going on here?" He pointed at the contestants and asked Jiang Xiaobo beside him.

There, the contestants were making their final preparations.

Strangely, many of the contestants were wearing vests of the same color.

These contestants, wearing vests, were divided into three groups: red, yellow, and blue.

Jiang Xia clearly remembered that she hadn't distributed competition vests to the contestants!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobo looked at the scene Jiang Xia was pointing to. He then smiled and explained:

"Brother, it's like this, most of the participants in this competition are anglers from Linjiang, as well as anglers from Antai and Jinghai City."

For some reason, after lunch, the contestants from several cities started to dislike each other.

The anglers in Linjiang feel that this is their home turf, and with the largest number of participants, the champion of this competition will definitely be from Linjiang.

The contestants from the other two cities felt they were just as good, so why did they think the champion should be from Linjiang?

Sure enough, some anglers from several cities with relatively strong economies quickly ordered online accounts, saying they wanted to see which city's anglers were the best!

After saying that, he added, "I don't know who bought the vests for Antai and Jinghai, but the vests for Linjiang were bought by Brother Dafu."

After listening to Jiang Xiaobo's explanation, Jiang Xia smiled. This was a situation he hadn't expected at all.

This competition was originally intended to be an individual competition.

Unexpectedly, with the involvement of fishing enthusiasts, it actually took on the feel of a team competition.

However, Jiang Xia was still very happy to see this situation.

The more competitive a competition is, the more interesting it becomes.

He even secretly hoped that the contestants from different cities would engage in verbal sparring during the competition.

As long as there's no violent conflict, trash talk and such can add more fun to a fishing competition, not only for the competition itself but also for the audience.

This is why the contestants didn't know what Jiang Xia was thinking.

Otherwise, we would have to catch Jiang Xia and give him a good beating to vent our anger.

After all, we're all incredibly nervous about the competition, and you, the organizers, are actually hoping we'll start arguing so you can have some fun!

Just then, a loud male bass voice suddenly rang out throughout the fishing area.

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the other person.

A burly man in a black suit was standing on a small boat in the middle of the reservoir, holding a microphone and shouting loudly:

"Dear contestants, the first Qingshan Fishing Park Fishing Masters Tournament is now in the preparation stage. Please take your seats in an orderly manner!"

"This competition is jointly organized by the Shandong Provincial Fishing Association and Qingshan Fishing Park, and generously sponsored by Yule World Fishing Tackle Store and Liqiang Computer!"

Jiang Xia still managed to hire a wedding emcee.

Hearing the emcee's powerful baritone voice, Jiang Xia couldn't help but nod.

This is exactly the effect I wanted.

A few minutes later, the voice continued shouting:

"Now, all participants, please take your seats and put down your competition equipment. The judges will come forward to inspect it!"

Almost all the participants in this competition were competing for the first time.

Upon hearing the sound, they all hurriedly and nervously put down what they were holding, sat upright on their stools, and kept their eyes straight ahead.

They were afraid that they might do something wrong and commit a foul.

In fact, the referees usually do a quick check, and as long as the equipment isn't too unusual, it's easy to pass the inspection.

The process of one referee overseeing ten contestants was also quick, and in a short time, the bait and equipment of nearly 200 contestants were all checked.

In the middle of the reservoir, having received a hand signal from the chief referee, the emcee took a deep breath and then shouted with all his might:

"The first Aoyama Fishing Masters Tournament... is now beginning... Ready!"

"open…………"

"Fishing!"

The emcee's loud voice, combined with the sound equipment Jiang Xia had prepared in advance, soared to the mountaintop not far away, and then echoed back from afar.

This scene shocked every audience member present.

Whether they live in the countryside or the city, these people have never seen a game live in this day and age!

Meanwhile, in the fishing area, all the contestants, who were already prepared, cast their fishing hooks into the water along the fishing lines after the emcee announced the word "fish".

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xia took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Not minding the dirt, he turned over and sat directly on the concrete dam of the reservoir.

The fishing competition, which has been in the works for so long, has finally officially begun.

Looking at the tense anglers in the fishing area, and then at the crowd of onlookers around me.

He knew in his heart that he had succeeded in this competition!
