I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 244 Friendly Reminder: You can breathe now!

"Snap—"

The starting gun fired.

Ye Xian quickly plunged the paddle into the water once again.

The slalom race has officially begun.

This time, the members of Cape No. 7 were more stable. With the experience of winning the group earlier, everyone quickly found their rhythm, and the rhythm of launching the oars into the water quickly became unified.

This time, Cape No. 7's opponents are even stronger than before.

The six group winners are evenly matched.

Although only the top three need to be determined to qualify for the Haizhou Grand Competition, who wouldn't want to compete for the championship?

Therefore, every member of the team was giving it their all, and everyone was paddling with all their might.

"Third again?"

Sun Li stood on the shore, feeling like she was about to get drunk. Why does it always happen like this?

Being stuck in the middle is really uncomfortable, isn't it?

In fact, in the 3000-meter buoy race, the speed of the start does not have a significant impact, because the first half is against the current and the second half is with the current.

The most important thing is to allocate your energy effectively and make a quick turnaround on the return trip.

Ye Li controlled the rhythm this time, starting slowly and gradually increasing the speed. The drumsticks fell so quickly that they almost broke the big drum.

Adjacent to Cape No. 7 is Haifeng No. 9. The two villages have always disliked each other. Last year, Haifeng Village stole first place, and the villagers of Cape Village were furious. This time, they met again in the finals, and the two teams competed fiercely, and the villagers of both villages also started to compete.

"Haifeng, Haifeng, have a safe journey!"

"Haifeng, Haifeng, bravely scale new heights!"

……

"A resounding victory is assured at the Cape; we'll take the lead from the start!"

"Youth never ends, the future is full of promise!"

Thousands of villagers from Haijiao Village and fans of the late-night snack group roared wildly in response to the provocation from Haifeng Village.

The cheerleading squads of the two teams, with their gongs and drums clashing, created such a powerful atmosphere that they overwhelmed the cheerleading squads of the other teams, making them unable to lift their heads.

However, this year's teams include an even more unusual one: the Rich Women's Team.

This group consisted entirely of wealthy women worth tens of millions. Their boats weren't called dragon boats, but phoenix boats. At that moment, the phoenix boat was in second place, causing the villagers of Liede Village, where the wealthy women's group was located, to shout wildly.

[Mountain Hero: Holy crap, that speed! A water-racing spectacle! Even drones can't keep up! This is like Fast and Furious!]

[Button presses cause injury: This is practically like everyone has twelve cylinders on their hands, and they're all running on 98-octane gasoline!]

[Top Scorer: I saw the oars were smoking! That's so exciting! I really want to participate!]

[There's plenty of time: Is our landlord about to win? Judging from that expression, we might get a rent reduction!]

……

Ye Xian's live stream saw a drop in viewers during the break, but the number quickly surged to 500 million as soon as the slalom competition began.

And this number is growing rapidly.

This was because the Sixth Princess had once again launched the Carnival to cheer on Ye Xian.

Who has ever enjoyed such an honor before?

Many people are gossiping that Ye Xian is the consort chosen by the Sixth Princess.

However, the two were of vastly different social standing, so many people did not believe it.

They assumed that the Sixth Princess greatly admired Ye Xian's talent.

Because of this, many men in the Tang Dynasty already regarded Ye Xian as their number one rival in love.

Many people were secretly cursing Ye Xian at this moment, saying that the oars would definitely break and the dragon boat would surely capsize.

The women of the Tang Dynasty thought differently. How bad could a man be if he was chosen by the Sixth Princess?

That's how women are. They won't pay attention to simps, but they'll definitely try to snatch up a scumbag that other women are fighting over, even if that guy isn't right for them.

Therefore, the vast majority of the more than 500 million viewers in Ye Xian's live stream are women.

These female fans were frantically liking and sending gifts to Ye Xian, even though Ye Xian couldn't see it at the moment, they still had to show their feelings.

……

Tens of thousands of spectators were spread across both banks of the two-kilometer-long river, where the deafening sounds of gongs and drums and the continuous crackling of firecrackers filled the air.

By this time, Cape No. 7 had found its rhythm, and its speed began to surge after 500 meters.

After 1000 meters, Cape No. 7 overtook Phoenix Boat, leaving the multi-millionaire women half a body length behind.

1500 meters, reach the beacon.

The oars on one side began to slow down, while the oars on the other side sped up. In less than 3 seconds, the 12-meter dragon boat had already turned around.

Downstream, the speed of the Cape No. 7 suddenly surged, and at 2000 meters, it was neck and neck with the first-place Haifeng No. 9.

"Go, Xian Ge! Go, Xian Ge!"

More than a thousand fans of the late-night snack group were so nervous that their hearts were practically in their throats.

In the final kilometer, the two dragon boats were locked in a fierce battle, neither giving an inch.

At this moment, Sun Li shouted, "Brothers, let's sing 'A Man Should Be Strong'!"

"Facing countless waves with pride"

Passion is like the red sunlight

... "

The chorus of thousands of people, converging into a mighty torrent, once again resounded over the Yulong River.

Many people had already lost their voices from shouting, but at this moment, to cheer for their villagers and their idols, everyone let loose completely.

[Red Cloud Fat Fox: Go! Go! My heart is pounding! This is so exciting!]

[I'm Xiao Heizi: Friendly reminder, you can breathe now!]

[Let's fight! Go, Xian-ge! If you win today, I'll have your babies!]

[Caterpillar running a red light: Go, Xian Ge! If you win, I'll run naked on our school's playground!]

[Screenshot taken!]

[Screenshot taken!]

[Screenshot taken!]

……

The number of people watching the live stream simultaneously surged to 800 million, with many of Ye Xian's fans rushing to the scene to cheer him on.

The 3000-meter race is an extremely demanding test of endurance and willpower.

The final 1500 meters were like rowing downstream; a slight misstep could capsize the boat, so everyone was highly focused, but fatigue also swept over them at this moment.

After two consecutive high-intensity matches, even with a short rest in between, the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles started acting up.

At this moment, Ye Xian had emptied his mind and was rowing rapidly, relying on his body's memory.

He forgot that he was a big star, a big blogger, and that he had already achieved great success.

At this moment, he belongs only to Cape No. 7.

"Be a good man"

Hot-blooded and warm-hearted

Brighter than the sun

... "

From afar, a loud singing voice reached Ye Xian's ears, slightly rousing his somewhat numb spirit, and also invigorating many team members.

This is fans from Haijiao Village and the Night Snack Group singing their team song!

This is the battle song of Cape No. 7!

"roar--"

The team members, exhausted, were suddenly filled with renewed energy, and their pace, which had slowed down slightly as they drifted downstream, picked up again and surged forward once more.

At this moment, as long as the boat doesn't capsize, there's nothing to worry about!

Life is a rare opportunity to take a gamble!

[The fairy who's pooping: Holy crap, are Brother Xian and the others on performance-enhancing drugs? Even racing cars aren't this fast!]

[Stupidity can become cute: Ahhh—We're number one! We're number one!]

[CEO of Big Fishpond: We've overtaken them! Not only have we overtaken them, but we've surpassed a leading company!]

[Three seconds later, ruthless: They're even faster! Xian Ge and his team are speeding up! First place is secured!]

……

Seeing Haijiao No. 7 overtake Haifeng No. 9, the villagers of Haijiao Village on the shore sang even louder! The late-night snack group went crazy, shouting "Go, Brother Xian!"

The villagers of Haifeng Village started to panic. They had been firmly in first place and had just been mocking the villagers of Haijiao Village. Who knew that they would be overtaken in the last few hundred meters? This threw them into disarray, and they even started beating their drums in a bit of a daze.

In the final 500 meters, the Haijiao No. 7 was half a hull length ahead of the Haifeng No. 9.

At 300 meters, the Haijiao No. 7 was more than half the length of the Haifeng No. 9.

100 meters, the Haijiao No. 7 is one hull length longer than the Haifeng No. 9.

50 m.

30 m.

10 m.

Cape No. 7 steadily crossed the finish line.

First place!
