Chapter 16 Gunkanjima X Kitchenware? Room X
The Hunters' Guild airship quickly descended in altitude and soon passed through the clouds, with an endless sea beneath the airship. After a while, several islands appeared at sea level in the distance. A bird's-eye view of the islands in the distance is arranged in a crescent shape.
"Look, there's an island!" Xiao Jie, who was lying next to the viewing window, shouted excitedly.
"This is where the fourth test will take place?" Kuka Pickup is a little uncertain.
Leoleo retched dryly against the bulkhead, "Vomit...... I just want to get off the boat early......"
"You were fine in the storm when you participated in the hunter test, why did you just take an airship?" Kurapika asked, half-concerned and half-confused.
“… Possible... It's been a few days... I didn't have a good rest. …… Didn't ...... Prepare seasickness medicine... Mistaken ......"
The airship has already flown above the archipelago and has begun to land. Looking down from the airship, the entire archipelago is stranded or sunk, with hundreds of ships of all sizes, large and small.
"A lot of shipwrecks...... It's a ship's graveyard......" the candidates whispered.
Sure enough, it's Gunkanjima! When Gen saw the shipwreck graveyard, he determined where the place was. A scene that only appears in old comics. I can't remember the specific details of the source, but the main plot is still known. There are a large number of shipwrecks and treasures on Gunkan Island, and an old couple here runs a hotel converted from a warship, and candidates need to find treasures to pay for the room, of course, everything is also a small part of the test, the main thing is that Gunkan Island will periodically sink (here is the source is wrong, I will say later) Candidates need to work together to escape the stranded warship.
"What do you think, Source? It's time to disembark! Kuka Pickup gently pushed down the source.
"Oh? It's nothing...... Something doesn't feel right. Yuan said homeopathically.
Because in the vague memory of the source, the plot of Gunkanjima is that several candidates were swept away by waterspouts. And now there are only 25 candidates who have passed the third test, including themselves (the dead ones do not count). And the fourth test started with 24, and the number of brands used when it finally passed was 22, which means that there will be no big deviation in this time on Gunkanjima. At least for now, the source is not yet exposed to unpredictable variables.
"It seems that it may be necessary to use coercive measures to prevent some candidates from leaving the island......" Yuan made a decision in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Kukapicka asked.
"I don't know, I just don't think it's right. The intuitive ...... source intends to imperceptibly begin to influence the candidate. So that everyone will not leave the island without permission, after all, coercion is the last resort.
The airship landed on a platform, next to the battleship that had been converted into an inn. All the candidates stepped off the airship one after another. As expected, the two old men stood on the platform and waited for the candidates.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bana. This is my husband, Gina. We run the only inn on the island, the 'Battleship Palace'. The old lady introduced.
"Are you the examiners of this one?" Hanzo asked.
"Probably not...... According to Xiaojie, they don't have the oppression of the examiner...... "The strange analysis made the candidates relax their nerves."
"Now I announce to you the message of the Hunter Examination Committee...... "The old lady continued, "Candidates, you have passed the third test, and the fourth test will begin in three days. Now that we have a hotel for you, please have a good rest. ”
"It's still quite thoughtful, it's rare to rest. I've been very nervous for the past few days...... "The candidates heard that there was a hotel to rest, so they walked to the warship.
"Wait a minute!" The old man stopped the candidates: "Everyone, if you want to stay in our hotel, you have to pay for the room. ”
"Ahh Do you want to pay for the room!? ”
"Yes, at least 10 million nuns......" the old man quoted the price of the room.
"Ten million!! I might as well go camping! Leoleo turned to leave.
"Wait! Leoleo! Kurapika stopped Leoleo and dissuaded: "At this temperature, without fresh water, it is estimated that people will be killed by heat in two days, and even if they survive for three days, they will not have the physical strength to participate in the later tests......"
"We can give you another way to pay for your room." The old man saw that the time was ripe and gave a proposal: "Actually, the main business of our husband and wife is an antique dealer!" There are many shipwrecks in this sea, and you can go to the shipwrecks and look for treasures and leave them to me, and I will provide you with rooms according to the value of the appraisal. ”
At this time, a voice sounded: "What kind of room can you provide for 10 million?" ”
The candidates looked back and saw Yuan leaning against the guardrail, plucking his ears comfortably.
"This guy is a local tyrant!" This was the first reaction of the candidates, and the next words of the source made the candidates a little hurt.
"I just made about 10 million from the roadside stall trading, and I can afford it."
"That's our money!" The candidates who patronized the roadside stall of the Yuanbei Well Tower wanted to cry without tears in their hearts.
"Third class! The environment is not very good. There is no hot water and a separate toilet. The old man replied.
"Then forget it, I'll go on a treasure hunt together." Yuan climbed off the platform with one hand on the guardrail and jumped towards a sunken ship.
So the candidates began to go on a treasure hunt in the waters of the archipelago.
The actual source did not focus on treasure hunting, and was always looking for other candidates to do 'ideological work'.
When jumping from one ship to another, the decaying deck could no longer withstand the force of the source falling to the sudden break. As soon as Yuan's feet were empty, the instinct of the body immediately adjusted its posture, and it fell into the hole.
Although there is no danger in Gunkanjima, Gen opens the 'circle' when he falls in case of an emergency. After landing steadily, Yuan began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. This is the ship's dining room, and the deck of the ship is littered with scraps of knives, forks and dishes. Wooden dining tables and chairs have rotted in a damp environment. The whole cabin smelled of decay.
There was a metal door with a round window at one end of the cabin, which Gen presumably was the ship's galley, as if something was attracting Gen inside. When this feeling came together, the source immediately tensed up nervous alertness.
"Do you want to go and see ......" Yuan hesitated a little, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity, picked up the cast iron pot with one hand, held the bullet with the other, and opened the circle and moved towards the door step by step. After confirming that there was no danger behind the door, Genichi smashed open the rotten metal door. Behind the door was the kitchen, and everything was scattered in the room. Following the instinct, what came out of a rotten pile of garbage was a small box. The box is made of small sticks with a metal texture and a non-metal tenon. The source broke it hard, and the box was so strong that it could not be broken. 'Condensation'! Gen saw the flow of thoughts between the sticks. 'Week'! When the source of the mind wrapped the small box, the 'click' stick scattered.
"And so it was!" Yuan thought like this, or carefully lifted the lid of the box inside. There was no danger in the box, just a small metal plate. Yuan picked up the metal plate and looked at it carefully, and found that there were some words engraved on it. Through the light coming in through the cracks in the bulkhead, the source could see the words on it.
"Youkexin, kitchenware, 1587"
"The year is 1587! Could it be that this year's Youkexin will have special kitchenware? Hopefully it won't be an auction, or it will be against the brigade. Spiders are too perverse and have an uncertain style. "I must be interested in the origin of kitchenware, and I must pursue it. If not, ask Hisoka then.
Waiting for the source to drill out of the wreck, carrying a plate made of gold and gemstones.
After the innkeeper's identification, the plate found by Yuan Shun was a plate reserved for the kings of the ancient kingdom of Acante. Ever since a Youkexin auction was bought by a buyer, the news has been lost. The source estimates that the wreck is the buyer's ship, which was shipwrecked and finally ran aground here.
In the end, the source was divided into a second-class room. Gen opened the door of the room and walked in, the room was already occupied, a sniper rifle leaned against the side of the bed, a pair of sunglasses were placed, and the sound of a shower came from the bathroom.
