171: We can make the boss win without even going to the Eye of the Storm.

Song San could find absolutely no reason to refute her.

Because everything Mela said was the truth.

From the beginning of the competition until now, apart from sailing a ship that was already broken, he really didn't seem to have made any contribution.

All the spoils were handled by Bai Ye alone.

He was indeed just someone providing emotional value...

No, he hadn't even provided emotional value well; instead, he had been causing trouble the whole time.

Thinking of this, Song San wilted completely, dejectedly squatting down and drawing circles on the ground.

Bai Ye kicked Song San's butt.

"Where is your courage to pursue Mermaid Miss?"

Upon hearing this, Song San's body jolted.

That's right!

He was a man who intended to become worthy of Mermaid Miss!

How could he be crushed by such a small setback?

Having figured this out, not only was Song San not broken by Mela's humiliation, but he actually nodded in approval.

He stood up and bowed solemnly to Mela.

"Yes, that's right, I am just an ordinary person."

Mela: "?"

Is this human's train of thought a bit abnormal?

He bowed even after being scolded?

She seemed to have heard humans who entered the illusion mention it before, something called an M-Superman, perhaps.

She suddenly felt she shouldn't scold Song San anymore, worried that she might make him enjoy it.

Song San puffed out his chest and said resonantly,

"Although ordinary, I am not useless! The rules of this competition have a loophole; Brother Bai and I actually didn't sign up as the same team."

"As long as Brother Bai's score is overwhelmingly high when the points are tallied at the end, he can transfer the excess prey to me!"

"In past competitions, no champion has ever had excess points to share with others, but Brother Bai is different!"

"As long as I can make it into the top three, I can obtain that Super-Tier Skill book! By then, Brother Bai will be able to get two rewards, so I am still somewhat useful."

He immediately turned his gaze toward that group of Merfolk Clan.

"What about you? What can you bring to Brother Bai? Besides being used as points, what other use do you have?"

This was a classic case of having been rained on, so one wants to tear up others' umbrellas too.

Upon hearing this, Mela pondered for a moment, then revealed a smile that seemed capable of enchanting all living beings.

She walked to the ship's side, leaning lightly against the railing, the sea breeze blowing through her smooth long hair.

"The things we can bring to the boss far exceed your imagination."

She hooked her fingers toward the ocean and said confidently.

"Even if we only stay in this Silent Windless Zone, we can ensure the boss's harvest is no less than the dangerous Storm Sea Eye."

Just now, she didn't know about the rules of the Valiant Fishing Competition, but from Song San's words, she roughly understood.

The boss must need a large number of Demonic Beasts to obtain some kind of benefit.

Her Merfolk Clan was best at this.

"Boasting."

Song San curled his lips, looking completely disbelieving.

Although there are Lord-level Magical Beasts in the Silent Windless Zone, they are few in number and very difficult to catch.

Wanting to get high points here is simply a pipe dream.

Unless one learns from Blackbeard and robs every ship in the entire Silent Windless Zone, that would be the only chance to enter the top five.

Mela didn't waste any more words on him, instead giving a look to the few Elite Advanced Merfolk Clan behind her.

The Merfolk Clan understood, handing the siren egg in their arms to their companions to look after, then lightly jumping onto the ship's railing.

Their bird claws firmly gripped the cold metal handles, their upper bodies leaning slightly forward, striking a pose ready to sing.

Song San watched their movements, his heart skipping a beat as an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.

"What do you want to do?!"

He backed away two steps in terror, his hands subconsciously covering his ears.

"Don't sing! I beg you, don't sing!"

He really didn't want to fall in love with the air again!

The Merfolk Clan did not pay attention to his wailing.

A singing voice, ethereal and filled with strange temptation, once again rang out over the sea surface.

This singing was completely different from the illusion songs they used to bewitch human hearts in the fog.

The singing lacked the magic that made humans sink into it; instead, it was filled with an indescribable attraction for Demonic Beasts.

Bai Ye listened to the Merfolk Clan's singing with great interest.

It must be said, the heavens really bestowed them with good voices; even the lowest Rank Merfolk Clan here could crush most singers from his past life in terms of singing.

It would be a bit difficult for this lifetime.

Because star singers also have Demonic Beast partners to cooperate with.

The Merfolk Clan's singing contained special Mental Energy fluctuations, spreading out into the ocean.

"Boss, the singing of our Merfolk Clan can not only create illusions but also attract certain marine Demonic Beasts."

The Merfolk Clan holding the egg whispered to explain to Bai Ye.

"As long as we are willing, we can attract Demonic Beasts of a specific Rank by adjusting the frequency of our singing."

"Of course, Lord-level Magical Beast Mental Energy is too strong; it is very difficult to be attracted by our singing and requires luck."

"But for Elite Rank ones, as long as they are in this sea area, they will definitely come."

Bai Ye's eyes lit up.

There's such a good thing?

Isn't this just fixed-point monster farming?

Using singing as bait to lure the monsters over, then dealing with them himself.

This efficiency is countless times higher than him just holding a fishing rod and fishing aimlessly!

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Bai Ye made a prompt decision and walked to the side of the deep sea, waving his hand at the mountain of Rock-Skin Toothed Shark.

"Xiao Lan, throw all these sharks below Elite Intermediate back into the sea for me!"

Although Extraordinary Level sharks can count as points, the quantity is too large and they are too troublesome to process, and the points are not high.

With the Merfolk Clan as a super bait, he naturally wants to choose targets with higher returns.

There is nothing for you here anymore.

Xiao Lan's Vine Whip immediately sprang into action, coiling up the bewildered sharks and throwing them into the ocean.

The sharks that gained a new lease on life no longer felt the pain caused by the insect eggs and immediately fled toward the depths of the sea.

As a large amount of "catch" was discarded, Bai Ye's ranking on the scoreboard dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【 Participant: Bai Ye 】

【 Current Points: 86,000 】

【 Current Rank: 14 】

In an instant, he dropped from the top ten to outside the top ten.

His behavior caused the audience in the Live Stream Room to explode again.

"What is he doing? He went through all that trouble to catch so many sharks, why throw them away?"

"Is he sick in the head? He worked so hard to get those points, and now he just discards them?"

"I said he was just lucky before; now his true colors are showing. He really is a rookie who doesn't understand the competition."

"Scatter, scatter, this is boring. I thought he was a dark horse, but it turns out he's a clown."

"The people above are all 'know-it-alls,' but this guy is a content creator."

In the Live Stream Room, mocking and questioning comments flooded the screen.

A few people felt Bai Ye was grandstanding, getting so angry that they chose to leave one after another.

But the majority of the audience was attracted by the beautiful Merfolk Clan standing on the ship's side, singing against the sea breeze, and they stayed behind.

Beautiful people, good singing—who wouldn't love to watch?

Give us more!

"Although I don't know what he's up to, these Merfolk Clan young ladies are truly top-tier. Followed, followed."

"This is a real fishing competition; fishing while listening to a concert—how delightful."
