Chapter 878: Chapter 861 Wang Zhen’s Grand Strategy

Yue Feng and Niu Ben, playing good cop and bad cop, managed to curb the small egos that the team had started sprouting.

However, seeing the results, they were quite satisfied. Yue Feng waved to the waiter again, ordering two more Lobster Emperor sets to reward the team. Eat till you’re full!

After a hearty lunch, Yue Feng took the team back to Hua School’s residence. There was no competition in the afternoon and no outings allowed. They had to stay in their rooms and rest up for tomorrow’s match.

While Yue Feng’s team was nearly pulling their hair out from the review, the morning’s results quickly spread among the other qualifying clubs.

Clearly, all eyes were immediately on the leading Yuefeng Club team, which was far ahead of the pack.

Tianyuan Youth Training Team Two’s hotel suite.

The captain and team leader, Hu Changsheng, was currently standing by the window holding the freshly printed competition rankings, while the other team members sat on the suite’s sofa, not daring to even breathe loudly.

“Xiao Meng, is this what you meant by securing second and fighting for first? Now that the match is over, what do you have to say?”

Hu Changsheng placed the materials aside, his gaze sweeping over the young team members behind him.

With his head hung low, Meng Weize sulked a bit, muttering: “When we contested with the Yuefeng Fishing Tackle people before, their level was at best on par with ours. Most of the time, it was a situation of mixed victories and losses!

This time, I didn’t see Yue Feng among their participants, so I gave a guarantee, but who knew that those less famous anglers would deliver such formidable results! Especially that Wang Xiaomin, he’s definitely a hidden tiger! Incredible skills at mixed fishing!”

Hu Changsheng exhaled a smoke ring and said, “I asked you for the problem, not for you to marvel at how formidable someone else is! Surprised now? Still feel smug? When you get back after the match, go clean the toilet for a week, got any objections?”

Meng Weize pouted, “No objections, I accept the punishment!”

“Alright, with that attitude, there’s still hope!

Now, let’s discuss the lineup order for tomorrow’s match! According to the club league’s regulations, the entire match lasts 150 minutes, two and a half hours, with five people taking turns.

Xiao Meng, what do you think is the suitable lineup arrangement?”

The question was tossed back to Meng Weize. Xiao Meng picked up the score sheet and frowned as he began to look it over.

A few minutes later, Meng Weize said: “According to the rules, the teams ranked higher get to choose their opponents first! Logically, it’s best to pick from the lowest-ranked teams to maximize the winning chances! We’re ranked fourth, so if everything goes as expected, choosing the fourth last team, Jinlin Zhan Club, as our opponent should be ideal!

Against this kind of weak team, I think having Xiao Kai go first to quickly establish a nest, then Zhu Lin as the second, with you, the captain, as the third to anchor in the middle, and me along with Xiao Gang to finish up, is a strategy with a high margin for error!

Hu Changsheng frowned, pondered Meng Weize’s suggestion, and nodded: “Not bad, it’s a stable plan without being overly aggressive! So we’ll follow your suggestion for tomorrow’s match lineup.

Currently, there are three teams ahead of us, everyone keep your eyes wide open. When the final eight are decided, I don’t want to see us still behind others! Are we confident?”

“Yes!”

“Louder, I can’t hear you!”

“YES!!” the young team members shouted again, raising their momentum. Only then did Hu Changsheng turn and leave, satisfied.

…

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Yue Feng got up as usual for his workout. After breakfast, he brought the team to the Fishing Base half an hour early.

Compared to the crowded scene yesterday, today it was noticeably less populated, with 40 teams having been eliminated and only 12 remaining. Those who hadn’t arrived yet left the parking lot looking quite empty.

With time still on their side, Niu Ben gathered everyone in front of him.

“In the second round of matches, we’re about to report the lineup order. After discussing with Yue Feng, the plan is for Zhao Ran to start, Xue Kai second, Wang Xiaomin third, Wang Zhen fourth, and Zhao Zheng to finish!

Everyone’s familiar with the fish situation. The only difference is that the catches from yesterday’s match were not returned to the pool, so let Zhao Ran go first to feel out the situation. After that, everyone can perform normally! Any objections?

We can still make changes before submitting, but once it’s submitted, it can’t be altered!”

“Uncle Niu, which team are we choosing as opponents?” Wang Zhen raised his hand, not to comment on the lineup, but to question about opponent selection.

“Of course, it’s Ju You Club, ranked twelfth! We’re in first place, giving us the privilege of selection, choosing them increases our chances of winning!” Niu Ben answered.

“Oh, there’s no problem with competing against them! I thought we were going after Tianyuan or Fish Hunter teams!”

Yue Feng frowned slightly after hearing Wang Zhen’s words, thought for a moment before understanding his intention, and shook his head, saying: “Wang Zhen’s suggestion is insightful, but impractical for actual combat!

The second round has a revival mechanism, even if we beat them, they can still be revived through revival matches, and with two slots, the teams behind us can’t stop them!”

Just then, Zhao Zheng spoke up: “I think Wang Zhen’s suggestion has merit! Even if they can be revived, they need to compete in an extra match, and that helps us gather intel on them!

Tianyuan is a known quantity after the fish duels, but Tiensheng, ranked third and backed by Tiensheng Fishing Tackle Company, is also a tough cookie,

So I think, choosing among the equally high-ranked Fish Hunter or Chiwu Club could be a more feasible option!”

With this analysis, there seemed to be merit, Yue Feng and Niu Ben exchanged looks, and Niu Ben nodded, saying: “Makes sense!”

Yue Feng also nodded: “Then let’s choose Fish Hunter! Didn’t see it coming, Wang Zhen, you’ve got quite the strategic eye and quick wit!”

Feeling a bit bashful, Wang Zhen grinned: “Hehe, I came up with that during a chat with Xiaomin and Kai yesterday! Since it’s a competition, within the rules, we should gain any advantage we can!”

“Alright, if today’s match goes smoothly, you get credit for this! In team competitions, contribute both ideas and energy, don’t keep thoughts to yourself. A round of verbal praise for Wang Zhen!

Alright, there’s still some time before the game starts. Xiaomin, you’re making the bait today, the rest, don’t just stand idle, check your gear, get moving!”

“Got it!”

…

Half an hour later, the match judge’s call sounded on the field, and the ready participants strode toward the worktable.

Niu Ben led the team, stepping up and handing a folded, filled-out form to the staff once on stage.

Subsequently, the leaders of each team followed suit, submitting their team’s lineup and order.
