Chapter 112: Rising to the Challenge
There are many ways to board a ship, but the captain of the Goddess has always focused on only one of them, and that is boat racing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Relying on the nature of water to overcome danger is courageous, but it must also be classified as reckless.
Convincing others with their wealth, so as to obtain conditions that are beneficial to themselves, is not strictly speaking, it is not a trick, it belongs to the flow of making good use of one's own advantages.
Leaving aside the few people who have found another way, there are also many people who choose to race boats.
In the eyes of the old captain, the boat racing in the reef area is worthy of his attention.
The undercurrent in the reef area is very peculiar, it is a large-scale spiral undercurrent that rotates constantly, as long as it crosses the edge of the circular undercurrent, it can take the boat into the shallows, and it can also take the boat out of the reef area.
In this undercurrent circle, there are irregular undercurrents and numerous reefs.
The inhabitants of Mafando do do not explore the root causes of the undercurrents, but follow nature to find ways to deal with them.
The old captain looked at the reef area, and there were about 300 people who entered the undercurrent circle with their oars, and wherever they saw it, there were capsized boats, and the candidates who capsized were taken to the reef by virtue of their strong bodies, waiting for the undercurrent to send the wooden boat back.
It was this vivid portrayal that highlighted Luo's sense of existence and made the old captain notice Luo at the first time.
Is there a clear difference between the light of the grain of rice and the light of the moon?
"The measures are in place, but it's still a little worse, is it because of that fat man?" the old captain held a telescope, staring at Luo's movements, completely abandoning the other candidates.
Luo didn't realize that he had become the object of observation, and he was concentrating on his paddles, drifting over the reef like a current.
It was only after he started racing that he realized the potential difficulty, because more than 300 boats were in the reef area at the same time, so he had to choose his route more carefully, so as not to be disturbed by other wooden boats.
This is different from the usual training, the overturned wooden boats, when they bounce onto the reef, will ignore the undercurrent, like a bouncy tennis ball, able to fly from any possible direction.
Made of special materials, it will not be easily destroyed when it hits the reef after turning over, but it will cause trouble to others, which is the advantage and disadvantage.
Even the most familiar old fishermen of the reef area dare not say that they can survive in this environment.
Therefore, the most correct way to board the ship is to pay a fee to transfer from the two large ships in the harbor to the Goddess, and the disadvantage is that every second counts.
"There are many ways to get on the boat, but my favorite way to cross the reef is by racing boat. The old captain snorted softly, and said to himself, "Because this is the stupidest method, but I just like to be fools who face difficulties." ”
This is different from the usual fishermen, who enter the reef area with too many people, which is chaotic and more difficult.
All the candidates in the entire reef area were listed as stupid by the old captain, but it was this kind of stupidity that the old captain liked.
Luo Ke didn't know that he was listed as one of the many fools by the old captain, and he looked ahead, with a smile on his lips as he rode the wind and waves.
The occasional volley of wooden boats did not cause trouble for Law.
The group of candidates who first took the boat to the sea were basically taken to the reef, patiently waiting for the next opportunity, and then they all noticed Luo's existence.
"How did that guy do that?"
"He seems to be able to control the wooden boat with ease. ”
Many candidates stared at Luo with amazement.
Some of the candidates who stayed on the reef had a chance to keep trying, as they clung to the oars as they capsized, and those who let go of the oars lost their chances altogether.
After a while, almost all the candidates who entered the reef area were wiped out, and they were waiting for the next opportunity, all of them silently paying attention to Luo who was shuttling through the reef area.
They could see a lot of wooden boats flying around, it was a rather peculiar scene, there were several unlucky ones who occupied a relatively small area of the reef, and they were stunned by the flying wooden boats that were smashed into the sea.
At this moment, the more than 300 wooden boats that had been overturned became an obstacle more troublesome than the undercurrent and the reef.
First-come, first-served advantages... That's where it comes in.
If he was one step ahead of anyone else, then Luo wouldn't have to face more troublesome obstacles.
However, when Buhara grabbed the edge of the boat and did not dare to act rashly, Luo was always full of smiles.
He could easily overcome all obstacles with his telekinesis, but he didn't.
It's a rare experience, and with the ability to telepathize, it can make the experience boring.
He noticed all the wooden boats, saw countless routes, and after taking into account the flying wooden boats, he picked out the most correct path among them, and each time narrowly avoided the wooden boats and the reef, and approached the outer seas.
On the Goddess, the old captain put down his binoculars and suddenly burst out laughing, causing a burst of surprise among the crew.
"The captain actually laughed?"
"How long has it been since we've seen the captain smile like that?"
"I think it's been a year, right? I remember the last time I laughed was when I took advantage of the tides. ”
"I also remembered that the boat almost capsized that time, but fortunately it was okay in the end, and it was a rare harvest. ”
"But that little imp is not bad. ”
The old captain didn't care when he heard the whispers of the little bunnies, he took a deep look at Luo, who was about to rush out of the reef, took out the wine bottle hanging from his trouser pocket, and poured it up.
After blowing most of the bottle, he turned and walked to the captain's quarters, and shouted to the crew on deck, "I'll go squint for a while, and come and call me at twelve o'clock." ”
Hearing the old captain's words, the crew all responded, and they each stood at the edge of the deck, ready to meet the candidates who would come over.
There are only 300 places, and even candidates who come through those two big ships have to compete for places, and always follow the first-come, first-served rule.
In the reef area, under the incredulous gaze of a group of candidates, Luo Zai Buhara successfully broke out of the reef area, and at this time, Bukhara's tense expression suddenly relaxed.
The two approached the Goddess and were picked up on deck along with the ship.
After going on deck, Luo didn't pay attention to the other candidates, and he was not idle, he borrowed fishing rods and bait from the crew, and found a spot for sea fishing.
Seeing the fishing rod in Luo's hand, Buhara also went to borrow it from the crew, but was refused.
He came to Luo's side and said in a muffled voice, "Luo, why are they willing to borrow your fishing rod from me?" ”
Luo looked at the buoy on the sea and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm more handsome." ”
Buhara thought about it with his chin on his back, and after half a sound, he suddenly said, "I see." ”
“……”
.....
Exactly 300 people made it aboard.
The candidates who chose to race the boat were all wiped out, except for Luo and Bukhara.
The two large ships parked in the harbor received more than 1,000 candidates, and then docked a few hundred meters on the side of the Goddess, and the more resourceful candidates jumped directly into the sea and swam over, and then were picked up by the crew of the Goddess.
After the number of first arrivals reached three hundred, the Goddess lifted anchor and set sail towards the sea, and the remaining candidates lost their qualifications.
It is roughly estimated that there are more than 3,000 candidates who came to Mafando, and before the hunter test officially began, ninety percent of them were brushed off.
There are a lot of people on the Goddess, and Luo doesn't have a suitable place to practice, so he fishes at the stern of the boat every day to kill time.
According to the memory in the original book, the ship should have encountered a storm, which was also considered one of the tests, but it was calm for several days.
In this way, the ship slowly headed towards the Peter Continent, one of the six continents.
