Chapter 753: Chapter 314: Another Record Broken_2

After the referee entered Lin Yang’s achievements, the leaderboard once again underwent changes.

First place, 3456, CN, Global Team.

Second place, 2789, USA, Pirate Team.

Third place, 2345, CA, Maple Leaf Team.

Individual points ranking:

First place: 3197, CN, Global Team, Lin Yang.

Second place: 2345, CA, Maple Leaf Team, Bretton.

Third place: 1789, USA, Pirate Team, James.

Heaviest Marlin: 1488, CN, Global Team, Lin Yang.

For now, Lin Yang was still topping the charts in individual points and the Golden Spearfish and Marlin categories, and there were opportunities to aim for the Swordfish and Grouper, as well as the GT fish. However, he wasn’t sure if the 688-pound Golden Spearfish record would hold till the end, and felt it would be more secure to catch an even heavier one if possible.

If it were a Bluefin Gold Spear, then it should be secure.

That Bretton from Canada was quite fierce though, his team points and personal points were the same, meaning he single-handedly propped up the entire team, which made his teammates look somewhat foolish.

Of course, the situation was nearly the same for Lin Yang, who contributed most of the team’s points by himself. However, the Global Team teammates were quite supportive, unlike those from the Maple Leaf Team, who seemed to be of no help at all.

Seeing the updated information on the leaderboard, Lin Yang revealed a happy smile.

For an angler, especially one as passionate as he was, there was no greater joy than broadcasting his big catches far and wide.

It was a pity that all fish caught in the competition had to be released. Otherwise, he would have definitely paraded the big Marlin around the island three times!

Even more regrettable was that after releasing the Marlin back into the sea, he had not received any new prompts. This meant that such record-breaking catches only gave him a little bit of Experience Value, with no other rewards.

After handing the Marlin over to the release team, the captain impatiently steered the fishing boat back.

Although his beloved boat had returned to its nimble state for a while, the earlier malfunction still gnawed at him. He was eager to get back and check his beloved boat overnight to see if there were any issues.

As for Lin Yang, the instigator, he was oblivious to the captain’s anxieties. At that moment, all he wanted was to hurry back, fill his stomach, wash up, and get some sleep.

After battling with the large fish for half a day, even his enhanced body was struggling to cope.

However, upon returning to the island and still not having reached the hotel’s entrance, he was immediately surrounded by a swarm of journalists with cameras.

Having broken the world record, he became the center of attention once more, the most dazzling one!

Naturally, he also became the focus of intense media interest, and not just the journalists, but even those anglers who had returned early to Kona Island gathered around, eager to witness the illustrious new record-setter.

They wanted to see if he looked any different from them, such as having four hands, otherwise how could he catch such a huge fish.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Yang? Could you tell us about the thrilling process of catching that fish?"

"Hello...."

"Uh, sorry, I’m not, our Master Lin is still on the boat discussing tomorrow’s fishing strategy with the team leader. If you could wait a moment please, excuse me."

Lin Yang smoothly fibbed to the crowd without batting an eyelid.

Just as most Westerners look alike to Easterners, Easterners look alike to Western eyes unless they’re very familiar, the kind that’s recognized after looking closely.

"As Lin Yang’s teammate, your accomplishments must be impressive as well. Could you share with us?"

Some journalists, too anxious to wait for the main subject, turned to interview his teammates.

"Hey, don’t even mention it. Today, I just watched Master Lin perform by himself. Right after the competition started, my rod hadn’t even touched the water, and he was already grappling with a big fish!

Tomorrow, I’ll make an effort to catch a big fish as well. Now, if you would excuse me."

".... Then I wish you the best of luck in catching a big fish tomorrow."

After babbling a few more words, the journalist finally let Lin Yang go and continued to wait for the real deal to appear.

Lin Yang finally escaped the surging crowd and slipped away.

....

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Yang? Could you tell us about the thrilling process of catching that big fish?"

".... The one you interviewed just now was Master Lin."

"???"

"...."

The air suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"So you’re a teammate of Mr. Lin Yang? Can you tell us about the exciting process of Master Lin’s world record catch?"

Since the main character had left, they had no choice but to start with his teammate instead.

"I’m his guide, as well as the manager of the Global Team for this competition. Let me tell you....blah blah.... our Fishing Guide Club has cooperation points all over the world, offering various services including travel fishing. For those interested friends...."

The guide, who was also the team leader of the Global Team, openly accepted the interview, vividly narrating Lin Yang’s epic battle with the Marlin and casually promoting their club as well.

Lin Yang was unaware of all this; after filling his stomach, he took a bath and went to bed, sleeping soundly until the next morning.

Only then did he wake up fully rejuvenated, ready and in high spirits to face the fourth day of the competition.
