Chapter 111 Boarding
"First come, first served?" Luo looked at the old lady suspiciously.
"Don't you understand?" the grandmother said lightly.
Luo thought for a while and asked, "You mean... boarding qualifications?"
"Not too stupid," said the old woman.
Luo smiled helplessly and nodded, expressing that he understood.
As in the literal order, three hundred places are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The crowd on the port was surging, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Goddess.
The Goddess is a ship heading to Peter's Continent. It is said that there is a sculpture of a woman hanging on the bow, so it is named the Goddess. I just don't know how beautiful the sculpture is. Luo is still very curious about it.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon around eleven o'clock, a large ship came from the sea and entered the eyes of everyone.
At this time, the distance is still far away, and only the outline of the Goddess can be seen, while the white sculpture hanging on the bow is very blurry.
"coming."
Luo looked quite relaxed, but the moment the boat appeared, there was naturally a tense atmosphere in the crowd.
Under the eyes of everyone, the Goddess is moored on the sea outside the reef area, because there is no extra space in the port.
"This is the Goddess?"
Although the Goddess was some distance away from the shore, Luo could barely see the sculpture on the bow of the Goddess, which was an old woman with a kind face.
Godly Goddess!
He had thought about many versions, but they were basically statues of graceful women in silk clothes with their breasts half exposed, but the result was like this...
Luo covered his eyes, unable to accept this setting.
"Cough cough."
At this time, an old cough came from the Goddess, and the sound was amplified through a loudspeaker so that everyone on the shore could hear it clearly.
"The boat stops here for an hour or more."
What the voice said was extremely brief, but it revealed a message to those who participated in the test, that is, the time limit.
The noisy sounds on the bank quieted down strangely. After a while, the surging crowd dispersed like a cluster of ants, and many people immediately took action.
The activists were in the majority, and they dispersed in a short time, all trying to find a way to board the Goddess.
"Lo, are we going to swim there?" Bharat asked.
"Silly, of course I will go there by boat."
Luo looked at the location of the Goddess. The distance from the shore was more than one kilometer. It is not difficult to swim this distance, but there are many reefs and undercurrents, so it is easy to be swept away.
Even the seemingly calm sea may be undercurrents.
If you have been to Mafando for a period of time, you should have noticed that the local residents of Mafando rarely go swimming in the sea.
Thinking of this, Luo suddenly noticed that many candidates seemed to be preparing to swim over and were doing warm-up exercises. Some people also started to think of ways to take the boat together, and more people seemed to be eyeing the two large ships moored at the port.
Considering the undercurrent, the big ship should be able to get through easily.
However, regardless of whether it is a small boat or a large boat, the consent of the residents must be obtained. Paying should be the fastest shortcut. This is unavoidable, and it is another form of ticket money.
"Grandma Meilin, I will leave Sambika to you during this time." Luo bid farewell to Meilin before crossing the undercurrent area in a boat.
"Okay." Merlin nodded.
Luo glanced at Sambika, and was about to take Bharat to the shallows, but at this moment he heard an uproar.
Looking towards the place where the sound came from, it was the group of candidates who decided to swim over that made a move.
After the group warmed up, they jumped off the sea and swam to the Goddess regardless of the dissuasion of the local residents.
They are not stupid, avoiding the area around the reef area and going into the sea from another place. However, the calm sea does not mean it is safe.
Soon, among those who swam out, several people suddenly disappeared.
There were about forty people who went into the sea,
They are all people who are very confident in their swimming skills. When they swim two to three hundred meters, many people realize that something is wrong, but at this point, they can only bite the bullet and keep going.
Many people on the shore were waiting and watching. After a while, they saw that the number of swimmers gradually decreased, and it didn't take long for the number to be reduced by more than half.
Those who disappeared must have been in danger, and there were only a dozen or so people who were getting closer to the Goddess.
"They're on board."
Seeing the swimmers being picked up into the boat from a distance, someone shouted.
Although some people succeeded, no one was willing to board the ship by swimming again. They could see the dozens of people who disappeared.
After someone successfully boarded the ship, the rest moved faster.
The big ship has not been negotiated yet, but many small ships have been rented out, and they have paid a lot of money.
Luo saw many candidates paying for it from a distance, but he was not worried because he asked Uncle Baker to save one for him.
"Grandma Mei Lin, is this the ticket money?" Luo suddenly looked at Mei Lin.
"It can be said that, after all, it is only once a year, it is against human nature not to make a good profit." Mei Lin said calmly.
Luo Wenyan's face turned dark, and he looked at the crowd gathered on the big boat, and said helplessly: "The quota for boarding the boat is only 300 people, if you want to collect the ticket money, you can only accept 300 people at most. The ticket money for thousands of people should not be a problem."
The rent of the small boat and the cost of boarding the two large ships in the port should be quite a lot. Compared with the income of 300 boat tickets, such a whole may be doubled dozens of times.
As Grandma Meilin said, it is once a year, so you have to make a fortune.
"What does this shit have to do with you, don't hurry up, don't you understand the principle of first come first served?" Mei Lin waved her hand.
Luo smiled wryly, and said to Sambika: "Let's go, wait for me to come back."
"Yeah." Sambika replied.
"Bharat, come with me."
Luo put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the shallows, where the boats were parked.
Buhara smiled and followed quickly.
As long as he followed Luo, he didn't have to think so much.
Meilin and Sambika watched the two leave, and after a while, Meilin said in a firm tone: "Go home, those two boys can get on the boat."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Sambika didn't speak, and took one last look at Luo's back before following Mei Lin.
In her opinion, not to mention getting on the boat, the whole hunter test is a trivial matter for Luo.
When Luo and Bharat came to the shallows, the boats were basically wiped out, and all the boats were rented out by candidates, except for the last one left, which was reserved by Luo.
"I'll give you three times the price, and I'm going to order this one."
When Luo and Buhara came to the place where the boat was docked, they saw two people holding a handful of money in their hands and shouting arrogantly at the dark-skinned Uncle Baker.
"It doesn't matter how much money you give. This boat is reserved for others and will not be rented to you." Uncle Baker looked calm.
"The price starts from the ground, right? Ten times, enough for you to buy a coffin book." The person who took the money took out another handful of money, with a bad look and tone.
Uncle Baker remained unmoved, even when it came to the coffin.
Looking at this scene, Luo was quite touched. After all, the residents of Mafando are enjoying their money now. As Mei Lin said, it is against human nature. In translation, it means that if you have money, you don't make money.
It's just that Uncle Baker didn't pay attention to the ten-fold return at all, because he made an agreement with Luo.
"Excuse me, let me go."
Luo walked over, put his hands on the shoulders of the two men, pushed them away from the left and right, and came to Uncle Baker.
The two staggered and were almost pushed to the ground.
"Here we come." Seeing Luo, Uncle Baker's tensed face relaxed slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Yeah." Luo nodded and said with a smile, "I'll be leaving right away."
"Go." Uncle Baker said concisely.
"Bastard, dare to push me!" At this time, a voice turned into anger came from the ear, but it was the two people who glared at Luo, as if they were about to do something, presumably they wanted to rob him if they couldn't rent.
Buhara squeezed his hands silently, making a bone-cracking sound.
Luo smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the two people, and with a burst of momentum, gathered around them.
Being taken care of by Luo's aura alone, the two people who were not strong enough in will shook their bodies and passed out without warning.
The aura formed by Qi has an excellent effect on ordinary people who are not strong enough.
Luo was too lazy to chat with these two people, and directly stunned them with the aura. He found that the aura was quite useful.
Uncle Bharat and Uncle Baker looked at the two people who fainted out of nowhere, their eyes were shocked. They didn't ask, so naturally Luo wouldn't say anything.
Afterwards, under the watchful eye of Uncle Baker, Luo led Bharat into the boat, paddled into the undercurrent area.
Luo Na's seemingly unskilled but well-placed movements were immediately noticed by two people.
One is Uncle Baker, and the other is the captain who is watching the reef area with binoculars on the Goddess.
"This boy... is interesting." The old captain muttered to himself.
