On the afternoon before the day before the start of the competition, all the participants were summoned to the small square outside the hotel. Zheng Zhengguo, who had all his beard and white hair, announced: "The 300th Federation Scout Academy's Comprehensive Ability Competition has officially begun. Since it is a scout academy, it belongs to a military academy. You're going to be a soldier. The first thing a soldier thinks of when facing war is to prepare for war and gather intelligence. Now, each member of the squad will receive your weapons. Each person has a miniature laser gun, an alloy dagger, and an empty space button. In addition, a squad can receive 100 Federation Coins. By five o'clock this afternoon, you can use the 100 Fed coins to buy the supplies you need. From this moment on, each team will have a miniature levitating camera to follow. Your every move will be broadcast live on the Star Network. So don't try to cheat with your own money. Of course, if you have the ability to properly obtain materials through your own ability, it is not considered cheating. Meet at five o'clock at the pier and a boat will take you to your assessment location. As for the tasks you will assess, they will be distributed to the team leaders when they board the ship. Disbanded now! ”

Everyone gave Zheng Zhengguo a military salute, and then the team began to disband. I didn't have this in the video of the previous competition! Could it be that it was added this year? Or maybe it wasn't played before. But why is it being broadcast this year? Ruri couldn't figure it out, and decided not to. After all, the most important thing now is the game.

Liuli asked Wu Zheng and Jiang Hongjie to get the weapons. These two people, Jiang Hongjie has great strength and speed, and can occupy the front position faster. Wu Zheng knows a lot about weapons. Even if everyone is armed with the same weapons. But the performance and condition of weapons are not necessarily the same, it is better to choose carefully.

Liuli, under the escort of Jiang Ruan and Guo Zifan, rushed to the place where the funds were used. Ruri showed her participation card, and the other party immediately handed her one hundred federal coins.

Since the afternoon is a combat readiness assessment, we have to guard against someone making a bad move. Liuli and the others didn't think about doing it during the war preparations. Because this is likely to cause public outrage and become the target of public criticism. But there are necessary precautions. Therefore, even if their team of ten people acts separately, they are in groups of two or three, and no one is allowed to be left alone.

Ten minutes later, in the corner of the square outside the hotel, the participating teams of the Capital Star Scout Academy were assembled. Wu Zheng handed out the weapons and space buttons to everyone's hands and said, "The team leader's concerns are right. The performance of those weapons is indeed different for you. I picked the best out of it. However, the laser gun has only one energy plate, and there is no backup. ”

Ruri put her weapons and equipment away and ordered, "Check your equipment again." ”

After everyone reported that everything was fine, Liuli said: "Stand in the planned formation, and set off immediately now, targeting the herbal market." ”

Jiang Hongjie took out the back of the chair and sat on it. After a group of people stood in the battle formation they had trained, they immediately rushed to the herb market.

On the way, Liuli said: "The price of energy boards is very expensive, so you don't have to think about buying them." A hundred federal coins can't buy anything. In order not to be affected by the miasma on the island. I mean buy the herbs you need first. If you go to the island and look for it again, it will be a waste of time. When we encounter danger, we will be very dangerous if we do not find the corresponding medicinal materials. And the time for the game is limited, so we have to use the time for the game. ”

When they arrived at the herb market, everyone went straight to the herb stall of Old Man Bai. Liuli said to Old Man Bai: "Grandpa Bai, we need to configure ten potions of Moonlight Grass, White Spirit Grass, Perilla Grass, and Blue Moss...... Don't know how much it costs? Liuli reported a large list of herbs to be used.

Old Man Bai didn't know where to go, this group of little guys guessed the location of the game. Old Man Bai smiled and said, "It's not that I embarrass you, if you collect all the herbs you just used, and it is for ten people, it will cost at least two hundred federal coins." ”

Liu Danfeng has done a lot of things in the academy to talk about the conditions outside. He received the signal from Liuli's eyes, so he stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Bai, why don't we make a deal." This batch of medicinal herbs was given to us on credit first. We will exchange the precious medicinal herbs of the competition venue. Or the gall of ten silver pit vipers in exchange, how? ”

The old man laughed: "You little guys, want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" Although the snake gall of ten silver pit vipers has exceeded the price of medicinal herbs. But how can you guarantee that you will get so much snake gall? ”

Liuli smiled: "Grandpa Bai, we Mingren don't say secret words. We can say such things, of course, on the basis of the conclusions drawn from the gathering of intelligence. And the price of those herbs you are talking about, is it the market price? According to the usual practice of the market. The selling price is generally four to five times the cost. We're old friends too. I'll give 20 federal dollars as a deposit, and then I'll pay with medicinal herbs or silver pit viper and snake gall bladder, how about it? ”

The old man nodded with a smile: "Little girl, it's a good calculation." Well, deal! ”

Liuli took out twenty federal coins and gave them to Old Man Bai. Old Man Bai gave them ten portions of the potion that had been prepared.

Liuli took the potion, took out one and put it away, and handed the rest to Jiang Ruan. Then they took their share in turn. On behalf of the team, Liuli signed an agreement with Old Man Bai. From the two big characters on the agreement, I learned that the old man's name was Bai Hua. After the ten people thanked Old Man Bai, they said goodbye and left.

Ruri sat back in her chair and said to the crowd, "Let's go to the living market and buy some wild survival items." ”

Several people went to the life market non-stop. Under Liu Danfeng's three-inch incorruptible tongue and the combination of Liuli and Jiang Ruan's shameless cuteness. They spent twenty-five federal dollars on flints, spices, pots and bowls, and chopsticks and spoons from merchants. It can only be said that the cute children have candy to eat.

Several people wanted to buy tents, but it was too expensive. Consider that Cloud Island is even more humid and cold than here. Ruri decided to buy a waterproof and cold-proof tarpaulin. This kind of cloth is not very strong, and it cannot block the attack of the demonic beast. The eye color is also not good-looking, so the price is cheap. Liuli bought a large piece at once, and when the time came, it was a simple tent with branches from the woods and covered with oilcloth. This cloth is really cheap, and the boss is being fooled into discounting it again. The last piece of cloth was only fifteen federal coins.

Liuli and the others returned to the hotel and changed their uniforms into standard training uniforms. A few people came to the hall, exactly four o'clock. In view of the videos of previous competitions, the organizing committee will only have no pits, only more pits. Therefore, Liuli found Wang Dali: "Uncle Wang, the food fee we paid at the beginning was managed until tonight." But we won't be able to eat dinner tonight at the hotel. Can you get us to pack? ”

Wang Dali couldn't laugh or cry: "You guys are so good?" Not even the last dinner. ”

Ruri was also unambiguous: "It was said that they would gather at five o'clock to board the ship, but who knows if they would provide dinner." Besides, we paid for dinner in the hotel, so how could we waste it? If our dean found out, he would have cried. ”

When Wang Dali heard the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay!" I'll say hello to the restaurant manager, and you'll go find him. ”

So a few people packed up today's dinner and took it away. The people who are watching the live broadcast also think that Liuli's little calculations are not annoying, but a little cute.

The soldiers watching the live broadcast nodded in agreement. The old and young of the Mo family are watching the live broadcast at the moment, and when they see Liuli's actions, their hearts are full of pride.

When a few people arrived at the dock, Liuli went directly to the lady who sold fruit last time. Last time she ate a passion fruit, she found that she didn't feel thirsty for half a day. And eating passion fruit doesn't require frequent excretion like drinking water. The situation on Cloud Island is unknown, and who knows when a safe source of water will be discovered. So Liuli bought ninety passion fruits directly from the woman, and one person divided nine of them, costing her twenty federal coins.

Ruri bought a shortbread for ten people at the girl who sold a boxed lunch at the dock she dealt with last time for breakfast tomorrow morning. She didn't want to go to Cloud Island, the first thing she did was find food to make breakfast.

Liuli pinched the remaining ten federal coins, thought about it and didn't spend it again.

At five o'clock, everyone gathered and entered the cabin. Shao Yan stood in front of everyone and said, "This time your destination is Cloud Island. Come and get the map, which shows where you are going to complete your mission. Each squad has a different route. The tasks that need to be accomplished are also different. Note that the missions marked in red are the mission points that are overlapped by several squad routes. Once a team completes this kind of mission, the team that arrives later will no longer be able to complete the mission. Points will be awarded for completing the task. The team that completes the mission first to reach the finish line will also receive a corresponding bonus point. The team with the most points at the end wins the championship. ”

The leaders of the various squads went up to get the map. No one is looking at it now. Shao Yan suddenly had a wicked smile on his face: "Children, you should understand that there is no free lunch in the world. It takes one night to get to Cloud Island from here. Since you are on the boat, the ticket fee is free. But if you want to have a room to sleep in, you have to pay. If you want to eat, you have to pay for it. Considering you're all small kids, there's not much money. We also collect some money symbolically. If you want to sleep in a bed, you can only get one federal dollar per person. If you want to eat, two federal coins per person. How's that, it's cheap enough, right? Of course, if you don't have any money, you can spend the night on the floor of the cabin. Everyone is an elite, and you won't catch a cold if you sleep on the floor for a night. In the same way, two hungry meals are not a big deal. When you get to the island, be self-reliant! ”

There was a wail from below. Sure enough, there is no most pit, only more pits. Ruri was glad that she still had ten federal coins left. At least it can ensure that everyone can get enough sleep.

She stepped forward and handed over ten federal coins, exactly five bunk beds in a box. They entered the box and began to take out their dinner.

Many viewers watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded. I didn't expect the organizing committee to be so tricky. Now that I think about it, the behavior of the participating team of the Capital Star Scout Academy asking for dinner is really a wise move.
