Two days remain until Starshine Day.

During these two days, Fang Yu and his companions decided to dock their ship by Qingyue Island.

They slept on the ship at night, and during the day, part of the crew was sent by Fang Yu to scout the area to determine the regions where star beasts would emerge on Starshine Day.

The core crew members, including Fang Yu, could afford to be more leisurely.

They had the chance to explore the marketplace on Qingyue Island.

It was the first time Fang Yu and his team participated in a captains' meeting, experiencing firsthand the typical interactions of mainstream captains.

"The Li Clan is recruiting captains. Currently, the Li Clan has obtained a Heart of the Ocean, sufficient to expand territories in non-safe sea regions."

"The consortium offers a wealth of information benefits, and core members can enjoy the connections of top-tier members, achieving progress faster."

"Whether facing wars, extraordinary disasters, or marine plagues in the future, there is enough confidence!"

A navigator from the consortium openly called out to the gathered captains.

They especially extended olive branches to well-known captains listed in the rankings.

Quite a few captains were indeed very interested, and without further ado, they signed up for the consortium.

But joining the consortium also has its thresholds.

The consortium sought strong captains, while ignoring the weaker ones.

Luo Kuan wanted to take a brochure to have a look, but the person in charge of the consortium glanced at the current shapeshifted state of the Salted Fish and then casually declined Luo Kuan.

Luo Kuan scratched his nose and then happily returned to Fang Yu and the others.

"Captain, what are you all looking at?"

Luo Kuan asked curiously.

"Li Lin set up a betting game,"

Fang Yu replied to Luo Kuan, eyes shining, without turning his head.

"A betting game?"

Luo Kuan was taken aback, turning his gaze forward. Sure enough, he saw a table in front of Li Lin, then heard Li Lin shout loudly, "Betting on the dark horse! Betting on the dark horse!"

"Who will be the captain gaining the most Radiant Star Stones this time?!"

"Bet on the captain you believe in. As long as this captain gains the most Radiant Star Stones, you can win against all others. The rules are simple, and you can place bets until before Starshine Day!"

Everyone looked at Li Lin's betting table and saw a machine with the names and odds of major captains.

The names on Li Lin's information page kept scrolling upwards.

[Shi Jun] Odds 1:1.8

[Yuan Qing] Odds 1:1.9

[Guan Xinxue] Odds 1:2

...

[Wang Shun] Odds 1:4.5

...

[Fang Yu] Odds 1:1.5

"Hmm?"

Wait!

Everyone paused suddenly when they saw this.

"Li Lin, did you make a mistake with Fang Yu's odds?"

"Shi Jun is the biggest favorite, yet his odds are only 1.6. How can Fang Yu have even lower odds than Shi Jun? Are you saying that Fang Yu's ability surpasses Shi Jun's?"

"How can that be? Shi Jun is a well-known expert on the cargo ship rankings, with unquestionable strength. He should be the strongest cargo ship level captain in this Star Removal Association, right?"

"Who is this Fang Yu? I've never even heard of him; you must have made a mistake."

The other captains shook their heads slightly.

If Fang Yu's odds are lower than Shi Jun's, does it mean Li Lin believes Fang Yu will gather more Radiant Star Stones than Shi Jun?

How is that possible?

Shi Jun is a renowned expert on the combat ranking, coveted by many consortiums.

And Fang Yu?

Who is Fang Yu?

Does anyone know him?

Everyone exchanged looks and shook their heads; they had never heard of such a person before.

Hearing these remarks, Li Lin shook his head and said seriously, "Everyone, Fang Yu's odds are correct. As for who Fang Yu is..."

Li Lin chuckled, then pulled out some papers from behind, addressing the crowd, "You can buy my information to find out who Fang Yu is."

"Only three hundred Copper Coins per piece. Fair price, honest dealing."

Everyone was stunned.

Really... dude.

Are you serious?

Do you truly believe Fang Yu's chances as the best dark horse are better than Shi Jun's?

"Ah, I got it. This guy intentionally set Fang Yu's odds so low to create a gimmick to drive traffic to his information business."

"Commercial genius, if I hadn't realized this in time, I would have almost spent three hundred Copper Coins buying your information page."

The crowd shook their heads, figuring out Li Lin's scheme, then jovially placed their bets on Shi Jun.

In a flash, Shi Jun already had over a hundred bets, enough to make even Li Lin hesitate for a moment.

Shi Jun, as the top dark horse favorite, naturally attracted more bets.

Next were Yuan Qing and Guan Xinxue, both renowned experts on the cargo ship level combat rankings, naturally leading many captains to bet on them.

As for the others, even fewer people bet on them.

Still, a few would bet on less popular captains, hoping for a surprising profit.

As for Fang Yu...

Low odds, and not even a dark horse.

Even before arriving, others on the dark horse list had heard of everyone, except for Fang Yu.

Unheard of ones typically don't make it.

No one placed bets on Fang Yu.

Seeing this, Li Lin didn't say much, only nodding slightly.

He had given Fang Yu some information beforehand.

Only Li Lin knew how much of an advantage Fang Yu had.

However, advantage aside, one's capability also mattered. If Fang Yu didn't possess the strength to defeat the beast king, it was still possible...

Li Lin favored Fang Yu but didn't think Fang Yu was guaranteed to win.

Just then, a voice from the side startled Li Lin slightly.

"I bet on Fang Yu, 2000 Silver Coins!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, all turning their gaze to the speaker.

Who was that?

So wealthy? Betting two thousand Silver Coins in one go?

Not only that, but why bet on Fang Yu?

Among all the contestants, Fang Yu had the lowest odds in terms of likelihood and cost-effectiveness.

Betting on Fang Yu was practically throwing money away.

In the crowd, Li Lin looked up at the better and was stunned, "It's you?"

"What? Can't I bet on myself? There's no room for match-fixing here, right?"

The speaker was Fang Yu.

Upon hearing their conversation, everyone was stunned, then looked at Fang Yu with strange expressions.

So this young man... is Fang Yu.

No wonder he bet so much.

Is this to save face?

Though it doesn't matter much.

In the Star Removal Association, only the strongest captains can compete.

No matter how much he bets on himself, it won't affect the outcome.

"Uh... okay, go ahead..."

Li Lin thought for a moment and accepted Fang Yu's two thousand Silver Coins.

After all, he also thought carefully and was unsure if Fang Yu could defeat the beast king...
