Truth be told, the quality of this necklace isn't that great.

If nothing else, let's just say that the worst necklace of the jewelry that Arrow himself owned in his hometown is probably ten times better than this one.

The size of each bead on the necklace is not very even, so it looks like some are big, some are small, and they are very untidy. And the color of each bead is not very even, some appear more transparent, and some appear duller. Obviously, the person who sold this necklace didn't think about selling this necklace for a good price at all, but randomly found some leftover sea sand beads, and then strung them together at random.

However, even so, the crisp tower holding the necklace was flushed and looked very happy.

Arrow took the necklace and looked at it, the largest bead on it was about the size of a fingernail of a little finger, and the smaller one was about half the size of a fingernail.

He nodded, and asked Sutta to take the necklace back. Crispy nodded, and carefully placed the necklace in the box.

"President, do you see something?"

Crispy didn't rush to close the box, but to see if there was anything else Arrow wanted to prepare.

Arrow looked at the box, pinching his chin and thinking slightly.

Meanwhile, some of the members of the other guilds had now finished their meals and walked out of the cafeteria. It can be seen that these guilds are clearly the type of people who want to do it as soon as possible without having to think about it first.

Seeing that Arrow was silent, Brad on the side also glanced at the other guild members who left, and said, "President, should we also set off first?" When you get to the place, then talk about it? Didn't we already find out yesterday where the most sea sand shells are? ”

Arrow waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's figure things out first and then act, it won't take much time." ”

As he spoke, Arrow gently patted the "Illustrated Book of Naturalism" in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that there was so little introduction to those two types of demonic beasts in this so-called guide book, he wouldn't need to plan here now.

"Whew...... Margaux, do you have anything in mind? Let's talk about it. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Arrow decided to ask everyone first.

Margaux nodded slightly, glanced at the sea sand bead necklace, and said, "There is something that I might be rude to say now. Sutta Although you seem to be very precious to the appearance of this sea sand bead necklace, I want to say that sea sand beads are really not a very expensive jewelry. Even in seafood jewelry, it is a product that is large in quantity and low in quality. ”

To be honest, when she first heard Margaux say this, Arrow was still a little nervous. However, when he saw that Sutta did not show a look of surprise or annoyance, he was slightly relieved.

"I know." The mouth under the bangs of Sutta was slightly upturned, and she still showed a happy smile, "My husband doesn't have any money, I know that." ”

Seeing that there was no overreaction to Suta, Margaux breathed a sigh of relief and began to open up the topic -

"The yield of sea sand beads is very large, and at least eight to ten sea sand beads can be produced in a sea sand shell. And because the time for sea sand shells to produce beads is also relatively short, only one year. These sea sand shells can be poured into the seawater, and there is no need to worry about them slipping away, so the yield is basically stable. ”

"Because of this, it is not difficult to get enough sea sand beads, as long as you demarcate an area to breed, throw a few thousand sea sand shells down, and you can gather enough sea sand beads in a year."

"But what I want to say is not just about the production of sea sand beads. It's a matter of its quality. ”

Margaux's brow furrowed slightly, and she looked a little worried—

"Because of the large production volume, it is not difficult to standardize the specifications. This also means that the price of sea sand beads themselves is not very high. If it were my previous inventory, a single emerald necklace would probably be enough to surpass all 10,000 sea sand beads of various sizes. If nothing else, just talking about the pearl necklace you gave me, that pearl can already throw off the sea sand beads for several streets. ”

This was the first time that Sutta had known about this, and she looked at Arrow next to her with a little surprise, and said in a slightly inquiring voice, "President...... Necklace for Mademoiselle Margaux? ”

Margaux was still a little proud, but after seeing that Arrow was not in the mood to joke now, she also coughed slightly and continued: "In other words, we are going to do something that is not of much value, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult. But then I think it's a little weird. ”

"If you say...... I mean, if you say. If this task is simply proposed, then forget it, it is purely a simple exam task. ”

"But we also saw yesterday and the day before yesterday that the first game of this guild championship battle is obviously the organizers of this game, that is, our royal family is taking the opportunity to make a lot of money. But why is it so easy for us to do something that is not too difficult and meaningless in this second game? ”

It has to be said that Arrow's vision of Margaux is correct.

Although the pastor was sometimes a little confused on strategic issues, he could not see far away.

But as long as it is an immediate benefit, she can still find out what the problem is.

That's why Iero is thinking about this right now.

Sea sand beads are not expensive, not to mention that the organizers do not limit the color and size of sea sand beads, in other words, you can pull out the beads whether they are formed or unformed by casually breaking a sea sand shell.

In this way, it is easy to complete the quest of 100 Sea Sand Beads. I believe it won't take a day...... No, it won't even take half a day to solve this problem.

But then again, the Sea Sand Beads are so easy to obtain, and although the number of 10,000 is limited, it is not difficult for those big guilds to get 5,000 Sea Sand Beads a day. In this way, the task can be completed in two days.

But in this case, the real goal of this mission ...... Isn't it......

Arrow had an idea in his mind, and then nodded lightly: "I've almost thought of a direction. Now, let's set off and head to the breeding farm of sea sand shells. ”

————

The breeding place of sea sand shells is not on the coast of Hanhai City, but on a small island in the distance about two hours from Hanhai City.

Although it is said to be a small island far away, it is also within the scope of urban influence and radiation of Hanhai City, so there are also people living on the island, and there are normal commercial docks and daily necessities.

Viscount Richie generously lent his siren queen to the port on the mermaid's song.

But as soon as he arrived at the port, the first question immediately made Arrow difficult.

"Go away, go away! Don't stop! It's full! Don't squeeze in anymore! ”

The port of the small island was originally not large, and the sudden influx of a large number of guild ships instantly blocked the dock of this place.

The sailors on the shore shouted loudly for the ships not to come over again. But I still can't stand it, and many guilds have sharpened their heads and want to rush here.

After all, there are only a hundred sea sand beads. And that thick-fleshed starfish who didn't know what it was was going to kill two hundred.

Seeing that there was nowhere to park the ship, Airo frowned and asked Viscount Ritch to go around the rear of the ship's island.

Once at the back of the coast, Eero could see that there was a large area of nursery fields, covering a large shallow area of the island radiating from it.

It's just that there aren't many guilds searching for sea sand shells here, only a few people. Looking at the entrance again, there were several guild members blocking the entrances of the various passages. This meant that the guilds would have to do something to them if they wanted to rush in. And once you do it, you will naturally lose the qualification for the competition.

Arrow looked around for a moment, sure that he would not be able to bargain here, so he could only frown and let the ship go to the next breeding ground for sea sand shellfish.

However, after walking through three breeding farms in a row, Airo finally confirmed this - there are large guilds that are trying their best to charter all the sea sand shells, hoping to eliminate other small guilds as much as possible.

Seeing this, Arrow stopped struggling. He simply sat on the deck, clasped his hands to his chest, and began to think hard.

"What do you think? President brother. ”

Coco likes to stay next to her president, so she immediately ran over and sat down next to Arrow.

Arrow smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm thinking about the thick flesh starfish. ”

"Thick-fleshed starfish? What the hell is that? I've never heard of anything like this. ”

Coco looked a little curious.

Arrow smiled, reached out and gently touched her head, and said with a smile: "Thick-fleshed starfish, what do you say?" Well...... I guess it's an ingredient. It is an ingredient that can be eaten. ”

"Ingredients?!"

As soon as she heard that this so-called thick-fleshed starfish was an ingredient, Coco's eyes immediately began to glow!

Arrow smiled and continued, "But even though it's an ingredient, people who actually eat these starfish don't even think about how to cook them properly. ”

"I've never seen a living starfish, but I've bought a small piece of a starfish to see if it's good."

"The boss picked up a knife and cut a piece directly for me. I remember very well that each tentacle of the thick flesh starfish was bulging with flesh, and it looked like there was a lot of meat. But when you touch it with your hands, you will notice that this thing is slimy, and you can even feel it when you touch it in your hand...... It's kind of disgusting. ”
