"Really?"

"What nonsense is he talking about?"

"Is this thing real?"

"How is it possible, when we are children?"

Ochoa's words turned the future powerhouses of the Seven Seas into green-headed flies in a bunch, their expressions puzzled, and they exchanged heads and talked endlessly.

"Mr. Ochoa. Prérayi, who had already come out, then positioned himself as the representative of the crowd, raised his voice to suppress the whispers of the contestants, and continued to ask Ochoa questions.

"We who often sail know that treasure maps are of mixed quality, there are many fakes, and the real thing is hard to find, so the number has not been much, and in addition, because of its scarcity, there are basically no more than one treasure map for the same treasure, like you, with a large box with a bunch of goods that look like mass production, how can it be convincing?"

"Dear 'Little Prince'. Ochoa looked at little Preelai with a calm gaze, as if he expected him to ask.

The father of this second ancestor is the king of spices in Southeast Asia, and he is also the governor of a place, and when it comes to wealth and prestige, he is also an emperor-like existence at sea, so the fat man jokingly called Little Prerayi a little prince, which is not unreasonable.

"You have a very keen eye, and yes, these treasure maps are indeed mass-produced. ”

"So, why do you still say that they are true?" Mr. Little Preraj didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the fat man's gourd, but now, he felt that the host in front of him was very annoying, and he talked around and around for a long time, but he couldn't get to the point, if the force behind him was not the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, he would have let this guy taste the flintlock pistol a long time ago.

"Personally, I don't think that the authenticity of treasure maps is necessarily related to whether they are mass-produced or not. Ochoa was unhurried: "Dear Mr. 'Little Prince', why don't you give me some time to introduce the format of the second game, and your questions will be answered when the time comes." ”

"Say it. Ochoa couldn't fault his words, and little Preelai could only be patient no matter how angry he was, and listened to him continue to explain with the fat on his face shaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are 8 types of treasure maps in the chest you have seen, 8 of each type of treasure map, for a total of 64 pieces, which is exactly the same number of teams that are made up of all of you here today. Ochoa pointed to the box and said, "Each of the treasure maps I just mentioned contains eight copies of them, and they are exactly the same, so it's right to say that they are mass-produced. ”

"Still. The fat man changed his words and said: "These 8 kinds of treasure maps have been tested by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, and their authenticity is absolutely reliable. ”

Ochoa looked at Little Preela and said that he had finished explaining to him, and then went on to introduce the format: "Later, we will divide you into eight groups of eight in the form of a lottery. ”

The fat man adjusted his breath and said: "Believe me here, everyone can guess what is next, that's right, each of your teams will get a treasure map, and what you have to do is to compete with the remaining 7 teams of competitors within the specified time, and the first to find the treasure and keep its ownership wins, this is the general content of the second game." ”

After the introduction, the crowd was in an uproar again with Ochoa's words, the meaning of the competition side is very obvious, if you want to win, you must stand out from the 8 teams in the same group, to put it more bluntly, it is to let the 8 teams of participants fight by themselves, until there is only one team to win the treasure in the end.

"Wait, I still have a question!" Little Preelai didn't know if it was the reason for winning the first place in the air race, and today he was particularly uneasy with the competition party, and asked Ochoa again with a face full of fault: "Your so-called treasure map is true, I will admit this, after all, it is a joint competition between the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the Pirate Guild, and we all believe in this identification ability." ”

This time, he first praised the big party before continuing: "Suppose someone brings back the treasure, how do you evaluate the authenticity of the treasure, you can't always say that you can say it by mouth, what you bring back is what it is, right? The legends of the treasure are basically exaggerated or untrue, in case we desperately bring back something, you will turn your face and deny it at that time, how should this be handled?"

"Mr. 'The Little Prince' is right. Ochoa bowed to little Preelaj and expressed his appreciation for his question: "As for the determination of this issue, our contest has already carried out a preliminary excavation of the treasure, and not only determined the contents of the treasure, but also mixed special marked items into the treasure, that is, we can successfully distinguish the authenticity of the treasure." ”

Ochoa seemed to know that his explanation would still cause the crowd to question the next step, so he simply gestured to the contestants not to argue, and continued: "I need to make it clear to everyone that with the credibility of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee, our contest has not touched a penny of these treasures, and these treasures are also treasures in the true sense of the word, not made by ourselves, as I just said, the treasures are absolutely true." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and finished all the questions at once: "I also want to remind you that this treasure hunting tournament is only a part of the Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge, and the treasure itself certainly has a certain attraction, but please don't forget, through the competition to get the ranking, and finally get the soul suppression iron anchor, become the Seven Seas powerhouse, this is your ultimate goal, believe me to explain this, everyone will have a lot less questions about the treasure." ”

The fat man's words are true, the so-called treasure is just a means of competition, as long as there is a suitable means of testing, and through it to determine the winner, the goal has been achieved, the final soul anchor is the grand prize, as for what they did to these treasures, this is a trivial matter, winning the game is the most important thing.

Sure enough, after the fat man said this, the surrounding voices of disgruntle immediately decreased a lot, and it may have been that the temptation of the word treasure to seafarers was natural, and the contestants couldn't help but feel hot when they heard that it was treasure hunting, and they were a little fascinated.

Ochoa was satisfied with his explanation and the crowd's performance, and when he looked around and saw that no one was asking, he said in a calm tone, "We have made lots based on the names of all the treasure maps, as you can see. ”

The fat man untied a cloth bag the size of a rum jug from his waist and showed it to all the contestants: "The lottery tickets are here, then please come to me in turn to draw the treasure map, when the lottery is completed, the grouping will be automatically completed, for the sake of fairness, we will start to draw the five contestants before the selection, and they will come down to check the lot in my hand to ensure that you can get the most fair treatment." ”

He paused the introduction, gave the contestants enough time to digest, and when it was almost over, he raised the bag in his hand again and said, "If there is anyone who volunteers to do the test for everyone, you can play now." ”

Several contestants took the initiative to walk down the Colosseum and take turns to check the bag in Ochoa's hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the lot in the bag, and the lottery process began.

The sailors are not verbose people, a total of 64 lots, less than 10 minutes, all drawn.

Since you are a participant in the Nanami Power Challenge, and they are all masters who have mixed up to now, it is naturally impossible for you to get together like a high school student before the mock exam after getting the lottery, like a high school student before the mock exam, and discuss questions such as which exam room you are in and which exam room I am.

Everyone looked solemn, only cared about the lot in their hands, and then looked at their noses and noses, and silently waited for Ochoa to continue the process of the second game.

The fat man didn't let people wait long, and after a few words of conversation with the assistant who was in charge of recording around him, he turned to the contestants and said loudly: "Under the witness of everyone, our lottery is completed, and now, we officially announce the results of the grouping." ”

"In the first group, the private treasure of the first mate of the Anvil, the treasure map was drawn by the 12th, 23rd, 9th, 55th, 33rd, 17th, 61st and 48th competitors in the ranking of the air race. The fat man read out a string of numbers, and then raised his hand into the air to signal everyone's attention: "Please show your lottery tickets and air race rankings to the above 8 teams, and after verifying that they are correct, come to me to receive your treasure map." ”

"It turned out to be determined by the ranking number of the air race, it seems that our little money is quite worthwhile, if you just know the number, it is really not easy to figure out the details of the enemy. Lao Wang turned to Mary beside him.

"We are number 37. The beautiful reporter said: "There was no us in that group just now, so let's listen, in addition, that is, you use diamonds as currency, and say that you only spent a small amount of money." ”

"The second group, mermaid tears pearls, drawn..."

Ochoa's voice was clear and powerful, and even the most boring number recitation could easily send the content of the sentence into the ears of each contestant, and the rebellious seafarers also quieted down at this time, and they listened carefully for fear of missing their number.

"Group 6, Indigenous Temple Offerings, the treasure map drawn is the 3rd, 14th, 32nd, 19th, 37th, 51st, 30th and 26th participants in the air race rankings, please show your lottery tickets and air race rankings for the above 8 teams, and after verifying that they are correct, come to me to collect your treasure map. ”

"Lao Wang, it's our time!" Mary is worthy of being a war correspondent, and reacted the fastest, hearing that No. 37 was read out by the fat man, she was the first to wake up, and said on the team channel: "Our luck is not very good, with us there is also the third place team in the air race, their strength must not be underestimated." ”

"Don't panic. Lao Wang's voice was very calm: "The husband will go and get the treasure map first, we just want to grab the treasure, there will be a fight, but we are not completely unable to deal with it." ”

Lao Wang stood up and walked down the Colosseum with the remaining groups of contestants who had won the No. 6 treasure map, and there were invisible blades flashing in each other's eyes.

"Bamboo, have you written down those numbers just now?"

"Write it down, uncle, I'm still very easy with these numbers. Takenaka replied, "Are you going to let me check the bottom of these people?"

"Clever. Lao Wang showed his lot ticket and air race qualification certificate to Ao Fatzi, took a parchment treasure map from the bag, and continued to instruct Takenaka in the team: "The information I bought from the port registrar just now should cover these numbers, and the ranking number, pick out their names, characteristics, strength and so on, and record them, aren't we a few eras ahead of these guys, and use the intelligence war they don't know to attack them." ”

"I did it. Takenaka replied: "But uncle, I observed when you stood up just now, there is another team of selectors in our group, it seems that the 30th place in the air race, others are easy to say, but will they make us feel better, I think you also know the result, on the other hand, they also came from the era of knowing intelligence warfare, and I believe they also collected our intelligence." ”

Speaking of which. The beautiful reporter said: "Because we are too prominent in the Bay of Royal, we are now the imaginary enemies of many people, and a lot of information about us has also flowed out through various channels. ”

"That's the thing, but it's all up to this, we have to continue any work, we want to live, sometimes it's so difficult. Lao Wang had already returned to his team's side, handed the treasure map to Takenaka and said, "Look, this is what we are going to do soon." ”

The Invincible Uncle team continued to discuss the treasure map in the team channel, and the process on Ochoa's side was also going through, and in a short time, the distribution of the 8 teams was completed.

All the contestants stopped discussing in tacit understanding, and the Colosseum fell silent again, just waiting for the fat man to announce the final rules.

"Okay, I'm sure everyone has got the treasure map of their own group, aren't you excited and want to start the game right away?" Ochoa smiled, "However, please continue to be patient, listen to me explain the last few precautions, and after that, you can play freely." ”

The fat man wiped his mustache and said: "The time of this competition is still three days, during this period, the 8 participating teams in each group compete for the treasure at the same time, the means are not limited, the method is not limited, and finally the treasure is obtained, and it is brought back to the Colosseum again, it is regarded as passing the second game, please remember that only the team that gets the treasure is eligible to participate in the third game." ”

Ochoa smiled again, raised his voice and said to the entire Colosseum, "Mighty men of the sea, start your second game." ”

"Bamboo, it's about to start, how are you checking?" Lao Wang watched the game and was about to start, and hurriedly asked Zhuzhongdao.

"Uncle, I'm afraid I have old acquaintances. Takenaka raised his head, and the expression on his little face was very helpless: "Zubita of the Rama tribe is the third place in the air race. ”
