"Flavor Rum" is a typical Minato-ku inn.

It is said to be a hotel, but in fact, it also takes into account various types of services such as bars and calls, and in Havana, this kind of hotel is very ordinary.

On weekdays, most of the people here are rude sailors and seamen, evaluating consumption, and they don't earn much, but they don't starve to death, and it's just a livelihood.

But just last night, the god of luck favored the owner of the "Flavored Rum", a Dutch Broadman who entered the store late at night and bought the entire hotel for three times the price, and a pack for a whole month.

This kind of generous gesture made the boss ecstatic, he changed his usual lazy business style, cleaned up all the guests in the hotel with his hands and feet, and then welcomed these benefactors with a smile on his face to enter the hotel.

The proprietor, though he had never made a fortune, was a very good man, and he had a vicious eye to see that the purpose of these hurried-looking guests was not to be simple, and that it was not uncommon in this mixed and almost semi-free port.

And if you want to save your life and earn enough gold yuan in the hands of these big guys, the method is also very simple, serve diligently, and don't ask questions.

Early this morning, these guests hurried out of the house, and before noon, they all hurried back, and the look on their faces was both anxious and confused, needless to say, it was a sign that their affairs were not going well.

The boss resolutely adheres to his established principles, serves wholeheartedly, does not talk too much, and survives in the port area of Havana, this wisdom from the market is as important as the survival necessities of salt and fresh water.

Sure enough, the guests were really in a bad mood, they rudely refused the boss's request for lunch, and then nine of them, who seemed to be the leader, went straight to the largest luxurious room on the second floor, and even the sailor-looking men who followed them in the morning did not dare to follow, but judging by their looks, this should have happened more than once.

Where does the boss still don't understand the reason, leaving all the guys in the back kitchen at the moment, and taking the bartender himself, An An stood behind the lobby bar, beckoning the sailors in the hall to drink, and his cautious eyes didn't even glance at the second floor, but he was still a little curious, what was going on in the big room on the second floor?

"Everybody's got it, now let's synthesize the information. The nine selectors who made the boss full of curiosity sat or stood in the room, each holding a piece of exquisite brown paper in their hands, and with the words just now, everyone's eyes were focused on the child who spoke—the invincible uncle team Takenaka Hanbei.

The little guy raised the "Nanami Strong Challenge Book" in his hand and motioned for everyone to read it carefully, and now he was one of the main analysts in the two teams, and he usually spoke first when discussing plans.

When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads and carefully examined the piece of paper worth 5,000 silver horse swords in their hands:

"Nanami Strong Challenge: Quasi-Excellent Quality Quest Special Item (Unusable Status), this item needs to be specially activated, and after activation, it will become an Elite Quality Quest Item as a mission voucher for the Selector.

This item needs to meet special conditions to complete the activation, and the specific conditions will be uploaded to the random spatial information of the holder in the form of an attachment.

Description: The beautiful challenge book printed by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, which is worth a lot of money just when it is not activated, is the ticket to the throne of the Seven Seas, so please keep it safe. ”

"I believe everyone has finished reading it, to be honest, the information given by this prop is not complete, there is a lot of information that must be explained through the attachment, I just checked it, the description of the attachment is relatively long, let's wait later. Takeaka shook the challenge book between his two fingers and said: "Uncle and Mr. Hines have gained a lot of information from the staff of the exchange, and we have also obtained a lot of information in the black market and taverns, and I believe that the docks and docks have also gained something, so we will first make a basic analysis of the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book' itself." ”

Everyone nodded silently, and seeing that everyone agreed, Takenaka continued: "First of all, there is the problem of the deviation of the number of 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book'. ”

"According to the information we have gathered, there are now a total of 800 challenge books that have been sold and not sold on the market, and the number of challenge books with clear space missions is 300, and we know that 800 challenge books are real guys, and there will be no low-level data errors in space, so that is to say, there are 500 challenge books that are destined to be unable to be activated. ”

The little guy had a worried look in his eyes, paused in his tone, and concluded, "What we are snatching is actually the resources to activate the challenge book. ”

"I remember that the total number of our selectors is 585, so why does the space set a number of 800, which is much higher than the number of selectors?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say, I think there are less than 300 people who can finally get the 'Nanami Strong Challenge'!" Takenaka's face was even more solemn: "The number of 800 is for all those who initially want to get." Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book', I think, the composition of these 800 people should be the selector plus interactive characters, in a few days, I will call it the pre-challenge book, after they are sold, the list of 800 people will also be released, these people will fight to the death for 300 activation places, but who can guarantee that the selector will defeat the interactive character, so in the end, the number of pickers is less than 300, which is normal. ”

"Agreed, and it's a question of whether the selectors can get the pre-challenge for various reasons, then they are bound to face the problem of snatching the certificate, but they don't know which interactive characters have the challenge book, but don't forget, they can easily recognize the selector, and there is no doubt that they will definitely find a way for those of us who have obtained the certificate, which can be understood as a means for the space to intensify the infighting among the selectors. Hines nodded and added.

Although Takenaka felt that Hines was an average person, he still recognized his analytical ability, and after listening to him, he continued: "That's right, the traders you contacted also revealed the meaning of the purchase restriction, that is, the final challenge is to recognize the book and not recognize the person, once it is robbed or lost, only to rob again, and if you want to buy again, it will not be implemented because of the registered purchase restriction, so the form is very serious." ”

"However, the good thing is that we now have pre-challenge books, and assuming that the time we calculated accurately is correct, in nine days, when the farthest East Asian selectors arrive in Havana, these 800 pre-challenges will be sold out, and then the bloody competition will begin. ”

"I know, it's a lot of difficulties, and I can't help it, and I think we should still worry about how to activate it now. Lao Wang agreed.

"Uncle, the analysis just now is our first focus today, and the activation issue is another focus we need to care about. Takenaka smiled and signaled Lao Wang not to be in a hurry: "I'll use the attachment of my pre-challenge book to explain first." ”

Takenaka projected the attachment of his challenge book props and generously showed it to everyone: "There are a lot of attachments, I will only talk about the main points, please see, our pre-challenge book has a wax seal of the Spanish Business Federation." ”

The little guy held up his pre-challenge book, turned around and showed everyone the wax seal flower he just said, and said: "According to the description of the attachment, after picking out this wax seal, you can find the corresponding challenger label. ”

Takenaka said, as he opened the wax seal of his pre-challenge book and said, "Look, this is my challenger label. ”

Everyone saw that Takenaka didn't care about it, how could there be any reason not to cooperate, so they approached one after another to observe the label on Takenaka's pre-challenge book.

In the lower right corner of the Takenaka challenge book, the original dark red wax seal was gone, and a pale gold circular mark appeared, with a stick figure of an animal head drawn in the middle of the mark, which looked like a fox.

"The attachment states that there are three types of marks that the winner of the pre-challenge book may find under the wax seal, the first is the one you see with my round, golden, and fox features, and the official name given to this challenge mark is called the treacherous challenge label. Takenaka pointed to the label, and then adjusted a page in the attachment to show everyone:

"The second type, triangle, blue, cheetah feature tags, quick challenge tags. The little guy slid his finger and brought up a graphic of a label and said: "The third type, square, red, tiger feature tags, strong challenge tags, a total of these three." ”

"It's strange, if each challenge tag corresponds to a certain type of Selector, how can there be only three types? Isn't stamina and tenacity counted?" asked Mary after reading the introduction.

"Therefore, this kind of challenge label is not based on the attributes of the challenger, but I think it should refer to the characteristics of the target we need to challenge. Takenaka explains, "I'll use my challenge tag as an example to explain that if you want to activate a pre-challenge book with a yellow tag, you have to target a target with the trait 'trick', and the specific content is nothing more than defeating the opponent, fulfilling the opponent's wishes, or gaining the opponent's approval, and that's pretty much it." ”

"The key question is, where should we find these targets?Besides, we have completed the things you just mentioned, and how did the other party help us activate these challenges?" asked Lao Wang, and Hines beside him also nodded, indicating that he also wanted to ask this.

It is also stated in the annex. Takenaka said helplessly: "Speaking of which, this form seems very cliché, as long as the blood of these targets corresponding to the challenge tag drops on our challenge tag, the certificate will be activated, and after the certificate is activated, there will be a 3-hour target exposure state, and then it will automatically send a pulse signal to the selector within a radius of 500 kilometers." ”

"I know that I didn't have the heart to let us have a peaceful birthday!" Lao Wang sighed, and suddenly changed the conversation and said: "Then we can't collect the blood first, and wait until the time is almost over to drip it at the end of the mission, isn't this over!"

"Uncle~!" Takenaka complained: "Will the space be a fool, it has long been stipulated in the annex, it is not impossible to collect blood, but it must be used 12 hours before the end of the mission, otherwise the space will be able to refuse the authenticity of the activation of this challenge book on the grounds of determining that the time is insufficient, at least the least, our target will be exposed for 3 hours, and then face a 12-hour hunt." ”

"Grandma's, there really isn't a crack at all, then you go on to say the bamboo, I asked just now, how do we find these so-called challenge targets?" Lao Wang also knew that the question just now was idiotic, and hurriedly changed the topic with a sloppy eye.

"This is simple, the attachment explains, as long as we have a pre-challenge book, we can find out the general news in a place like a tavern where people gather relatively together, through these messages, you can trace the approximate range of the challenge target, go to the area within the range, the target will appear in the eyes of the holder of the corresponding color, choose the color you want to continue. Takenaka summarized the contents of the annex.

He looked around and saw that no one had any more doubts, and then said: "Now, please all pick off your wax seals, let's count the number of various markers, and then make arrangements for the next step, I reiterate, until the third step of the task is completed, we are all in a state of cooperation, this level of information disclosure is necessary, for this, please don't have any grudges." ”

Takenaka's attitude is sincere, and the space contract has clear regulations, so everyone naturally can't say anything, so they cut off the wax seal one after another and show the pre-challenge book in their hands.

The little guy only made a circle with his eyes, and then wrote down the number in his heart and said: "Among the nine of us, there are three people with red challenge labels, four people with blue challenge labels, and two people with yellow challenge labels. ”

"Let's do it in two extreme ways. Lao Wang took over.

Now that Takenaka's necessary analysis has ended, what Lao Wang is most accustomed to is to answer the call at this time, summarize Takenaka's speech, and arrange a tactical plan, so he didn't notice the fleeting cold glint in Hines's eyes, and said loudly: " First of all, we scatter all the people and demarcate the area to collect the information of the challenge target, so that we can achieve the maximum efficiency of intelligence collection; when the collection is almost the same, we all assemble and concentrate all our forces to challenge the target, so as to ensure the high success rate of the challenge target, even if we meet other selectors on the road and we do not deal with it, I believe that with the nine of us, not to mention the advantage, we will not suffer too much. ”

Lao Wang was so engrossed that he didn't care that the people in the surrounding Hearns team were already faintly unhappy, and said to himself: "We will spend 24 hours to collect information, and everyone can withdraw 300 Spanish gold dollars from me as a fee, and then we will return to the hotel to gather, analyze the mission clues, and activate the challenge book, which is similar to the previous situation of accumulating strength in the North Sea, but this time we have to pay attention to the selectors who come on the way, what do you think?"

"Bang bang. Hines was the first to applaud Lao Wang and said with a smile: "It's really well arranged, Mr. Wang." ”
