Close the ring
There were many scattered stones on the ground. As Ding Can walked, he kicked some of the stones he encountered in front of him to the side with his toes.
After rolling a few times, the stone hits another obstacle and is forced to stop.
Ding Can glanced at Zhang Qing, who seemed to be preparing for the game. His arms had been exhausted during the archery event, and he was now using his fingers to relax them.
"Are you going to participate in the swimming event too?"
Zhang Qing didn't answer immediately, pointing to his relatively thin legs: "Look, my body can't keep up. I'm going rock climbing over there, so I use more upper body strength."
He just came by and thought of explaining some water sports to the two of them, which would be helpful for the next task.
When they actually stood at the edge of the cliff, they were stunned by the actual scene on the sea level.
Even a nonchalant person like Yu Fu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You said this is a surfing event? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it."
When I heard the noise just now, I thought it would be some exciting sports activity, but I never expected it to be what I see now.
At this moment, the dense crowd on the sea looked like a bowl of stew, with water splashing everywhere.
The competition had not started yet, so everyone was just staying where they were to prepare for the competition. Unexpectedly, these people were not on the shore, but were using various methods to stabilize themselves in the water.
It's not about the swimming ring, but some other items that are difficult to understand with common sense.
The white waves rolled, and there was a loud bang. Suddenly, someone turned upside down, with a burst of white eyes, and was blown directly into the air.
After twisting in a very smooth arc, it returned to its original position and landed on its carrier.
Wooden structure, the kind of stacked wine barrels that you often see in winery cellars.
The force of the fall was so strong that the man and the barrel were pressed under the water, and then returned to the surface due to buoyancy.
Around him, there were felt sheets, parasols, and even fans.
Everyone was oblivious to what was happening outside and was studying the things at hand. It felt like they were already exhausted before the game even started.
Zhang Qing explained: "This event is actually called the Water Fun Race. After entering the competition, participants will be randomly equipped with corresponding sports equipment."
Looking at the conditions of these people, it can indeed be seen that it is very random.
The race only limits the starting point and the end point, and there are no restrictions on the competition method. If someone wants to swim the entire course by their own strength, no one will care.
The race route is around Xiushen Island. The island is circular and covers a large area, but it is impossible to travel there without some means of transportation according to human body functions.
There is only one water race every day near noon. The sea is vast and there is no limit on the number of participants. The race will automatically start when the time is up. No matter what method is used, the one who can circle the field and reach the finish line early will be the first place in the event.
Ding Can curled his lips: "So fresh and unconventional, but why did you suggest that we participate in this project?"
In fact, she felt that this race was a bit too chaotic for them, who had just arrived on the island. Moreover, the sea was different from the land and was full of dangers. If they were not careful, they could be buried in the deep ocean.
"Do you remember the first task in the circle?" Zhang Qing tapped the bracelet on his wrist.
Of course I remember, it's about keeping your heart rate above 200 beats per minute for fifteen minutes. Ding Can understood his intention: "You mean, it can be done in water?"
"This condition is easiest to achieve in near-death situations, and I think drowning is the best way to achieve this effect."
Zhang Qing was still being conservative. It was a bit inappropriate to describe it as the easiest to achieve. In fact, if the heart rate could reach this frequency and continued for a period of time, the person would basically be teetering on the edge of death.
"Are you so confident in us?" Ding Can couldn't tell whether he was really kind-hearted.
Zhang Qing sighed: "Sometimes when there is little hope, people tend to trust their intuition. I hope I bet on the right thing."
He clenched his fist and made a cheering gesture, and the muscles in his upper arms tightened a little more.
There is a small path on the edge of the cliff that leads to the flat land by the sea, and the starting point of Zhang Qing's rock climbing project is also in a similar position.
The view from above was blocked, and when I got here, I found that there were more people than I had imagined.
The flat beach on the coast was not too large and was basically full of people. Ding Can noticed that when he came to the island, the most common thing he saw was the warm-up activities going on all the time.
The often-mentioned principle of mobilizing your entire body's mobility skills for your own safety before a race was implemented very well here.
"You guys figure it out on your own. I haven't participated, so I can't give you any useful advice. I'm going to the competition first and try to have lunch early."
Zhang Qing is very health-conscious and basically eats three meals a day on time.
He was sure that he was in good health, and of course he had to maintain it until the day he could leave the island.
After waving his hand, he went to the reef a little further away.
There were some people hanging on the reef now. Ding Can looked at it for a while, and saw the spikes that appeared from the cracks in the rocks from time to time like mechanisms, and his eyes couldn't help twitching.
"It's about to start, let's go into the competition venue first." Looking at the people in front of him, he knew that he had to familiarize himself with the means of transportation needed in the competition in advance so that he could have a chance to win a place in the water race.
Or at least be able to complete the game.
The identity recognition area is in a small wooden shed not far away. There is a small door behind the shed. After the athlete swipes the wristband, the small door will open automatically and the transportation tools inside will appear at the same time.
"There shouldn't be any unexpected situations this time." Ding Can looked at Yu Fu who was secretly moving his body and trying to stand in front of him again.
Yu Fu avoided his gaze: "No, I'm just curious and want to know what will come out of it."
"Hurry up, then," Ding Can chuckled and gently pushed his back, "There are people queuing behind you."
Yu Fu swiped his wristband, and the small door started to open with a ding.
Ding Can tilted his head up. Because of the angle, he might have seen something before him.
It turned out to be a very normal thing, a small rowing boat. Although it was half the size of the usual ones, compared with the ones around it, it was already the most suitable equipment for water sports.
"Are you so lucky?" Ding Can couldn't help but sigh.
You can also see a motor on the side of the wooden boat. It seems to be powered by both human and mechanical power. Not only can it be rowed by people, but you can also rest inside when you are tired of rowing, and it moves forward directly by electricity.
"There should be no problem for two people to sit inside." Yu Fu came to the conclusion seriously.
"Okay, it's my turn this time."
There is a transportation channel from the small gate to the seaside, and the rowing boat floats lightly to the coastline, waiting for the start of the game.
Yu Fu took a small step back to the side, also waiting to see what kind of tools Ding Can's bracelet could produce.
Ding Can rubbed his palms and blew air, feeling like he was opening a blind box. Feeling the atmosphere was right, he raised his hands forward.
The small door opened again in front of the two of them. Looking at the empty place, Ding Can almost thought that there was some malfunction in the program, which resulted in the things not being transported up.
After moving his eyes downwards, he finally found the external force tool that he could use in this water race in an inconspicuous place on the ground.
There was no need to activate the slide. She walked in quickly and picked up the small box on the ground.
"What's inside? It's still in a box," Ding Can's eyes lit up. "Isn't it because it's too valuable that it's packaged like this?"
Thinking of this, she pulled Yu Fu into the rowboat, sat down in the narrow space inside, and slowly opened it.
Because his attention was focused on it, when the living thing inside suddenly jumped up, Ding Can was so frightened that his hand shook and he almost dropped the box. Fortunately, he sat firmly.
"A fish?" Inside the box was a sealed bag containing a small, almost transparent fish that was moving.
Just now, it seemed more like the fish was stimulated by the sudden light, which caused it to move quickly in the bag and scared me.
Ding Can put his finger on the surface of the bag, and saw that the little fish swam over very quickly and bumped into his fingertips several times.
The touch was strange and a little itchy.
"This fish can't help in the race. Any wave created by others can kill it directly."
Ding Can still couldn't understand the meaning of its existence.
However, the plastic bag looked really stuffy. Fortunately, there were some low places on the boat, so she scooped some sea water in and placed the fish on the seabed.
Although this place is close to the starting point, it is still some distance away from the actual divided route.
The race is based on first come, first served basis. The contestants who came earlier have already occupied the places near the beach. The ones who come later either have to line up at the back or swim further out to sea.
The two didn't want to crowd with others in this shallow sea area, so they rowed the boat a little further away.
When I actually started to paddle, I found that the area on the boat was indeed very small. There was a shaded space in the middle, and if I wanted to paddle, I had to stand at the bow or stern.
But there is only enough space for one person, just enough for one person to turn around and move.
Fortunately, there were many people here, so there was no need to row too fast. Ding Can sat in the middle to stabilize the boat, while Yu Fu rowed alone.
The two of them discussed that they should start the electric motor directly when the race starts, so that they can at least open up a gap in the early stages of the race.
Away from the shore, the waves in this sea area are relatively larger. The rowing boat rises and falls slowly, and it is already some distance away from the seabed.
After a few minutes, the bracelet sent a reminder that the water fun race would start in thirty seconds.
Ding Can turned his head and looked at the contestants next to him with different postures. It was a competition, but he didn't see any positive emotions related to the competition on their faces.
