Chapter 848 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 92
All the apprentices were crowding in, eager to see what they had bought with so much money.
Squeezed to the very back, Mistblade and Maple Syrup were practically leaving afterimages as they swung their tails and wings.
It wasn't that I was particularly excited; it was purely to take the opportunity to slap those apprentices who were squeezing them.
The velociraptor standing behind Mistblade had been whipped off its feet by the tip of her tail.
When his teammates finally managed to squeeze out, Yu Xunge saw what the pet that Wu Ren was holding on the ship was—a square box.
Yu Xunge led the way, rushing out with his teammates as he asked, "Is that what's inside—the pets that come with the ship?"
Mistblade: "Yes, but it can't be opened yet, and there's no way to put any items in."
By this time, contestants were already dying outside the shop. After selling another gem, they spent another half hour buying various supplies before rushing to the shore. If they lingered any longer, all the good boats would be taken.
The things they were carrying were so conspicuous that they were surrounded and attacked almost wherever they went. Everyone used their ultimate moves to some extent. Yu Xunge even used the 710 and 711 school rules once. She was just short of using her [mysterious power].
The fire dragon, reeking of alcohol, shoved aside the nearby apprentices. Yu Xunge tossed aside the tattered crab claw in her hand, picked up a dagger that someone had dropped from the ground, and asked, "Do you have any valuable information about choosing a boat?"
Motorcycle: "No, just like the treasure news, there's nothing."
To their surprise, when they arrived, they found that none of the boats had left.
Although the port is a bit chaotic, it's not as chaotic as the shops outside.
The apprentices who had boarded the ship early were all waiting, some sitting and some standing, staring intently at the contestants who had not yet chosen their ship and boarded.
Yu Xunge spotted Moji and Bomang on the same ship at a glance. The latter's hair was now seven-colored. Poor Bomang, there were too many creatures here that made her nervous. Not only could she not tell them apart, but their hair colors were also all different.
As he ran past her, Yu Xunge whistled at her: "You're so fashionable!"
Bo Mang: "..."
While dodging various skills, Yu Xunge was also observing these ships, but he couldn't find any pattern. They had no numbers, and their colors, styles, and sizes were all random.
She casually pointed to a small yacht: "That one!"
This was something they had agreed on on the way. Xun Ge's luck was 2 points higher than theirs, so since they couldn't find any useful information, they would let Xun Ge pick any car at random.
The group rushed onto the small white yacht. Compared to other vessels, this yacht was only of medium size, neither the largest nor the smallest. It was about five meters long, more than enough to fit all five of them.
However, the reason Yu Xunge chose it was that it did not have a superstructure; the area above the main deck was an open-air driving area and open space.
For her, this environment was more suitable for fighting, and also more suitable for them to observe the situation at sea and in the air in 360°.
The only thing to be careful about is protecting the driver's area.
After the entire team boarded the ship, they received a notification: [The ship is already bound and cannot be changed before the game ends; Sea departure requirements: Ship activation ratio 80%; Current ship activation ratio: 52%]
It's fairly easy to understand, but I don't know how to play after going out to sea, or why we need to go out to sea together...
The locomotive is inspecting the various equipment on the small yacht, matching them with the fuel, maintenance equipment, and other items they have purchased, so that the appropriate items can be used immediately when needed.
He also used his divinely bestowed talent to enhance the yacht's protective capabilities.
Fogblade and Fat Goose are studying pets that accompany the ship.
Yu Xunge was inspecting the yacht. She circled it once and finally stood on the upper deck to observe the other boats and the contestants inside.
Once aboard, the apprentices couldn't attack each other. Yu Xunge threw out a spark, which was blocked by a transparent shield when it touched the surface of an adjacent ship. Was this the opponent's skill or a game mechanic?
Maple Syrup had already finished observing the yacht. She stood next to Yu Xunge and observed the other contestants with her.
[Fat Goose]: Come and see this!
Yu Xunge and Maple Syrup immediately gave up on continuing their staring contest with Pine Rose on the next boat and ran back to the driver's area.
On the small table in the driver's area was a white ball with the number "7" engraved on it in black.
Yu Xunge immediately frowned. This thing looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.
Looking up, I noticed that my other teammates had the same expression.
Yu Xunge turned slightly to block Song Gui's gaze from behind: "What have you thought of?"
Fogblade reassured, "It's alright, you can't take this away. Look, it's bound to this ship."
As she spoke, she tried to pick up the ball, but she couldn't lift it at all.
However, everyone still tacitly started discussing it in the team chat channel.
【Maple Syrup】: I was reminded of a ball game by Mori no Ue... It also has many balls with numbers written on them, and there are two ways to play: in the air and on the ground. But in the end, you have to find a way to hit the cue ball with a long stick and use the impact of the cue ball to hit the other balls into a specific hole.
Yu Xunge also remembered what it was: billiards, which she had seen on TV!
Although she didn't know the specific rules and had never played it, wasn't the basic gameplay the same as using a long stick to hit the ball into the hole?
She briefly mentioned billiards in the team chat channel.
[Mistblade]: There's a similar game in Snow Town...
[Fat Goose]: Even without light...
[Motorcycle]: Even rage can occur.
The five men looked at each other in silence, their gazes finally settling on the number 7 ball.
A thought flashed through my mind: this pet that accompanies me on the ship... might not be entirely a good thing.
Considering the hidden mission of "destroying the cue sticks," people began to speculate about how the game would work.
Song Gui's voice rang out from behind: "Hey Oak Owl over there, wanna exchange intelligence?"
Yu Xunge nudged Maple Syrup with his elbow: "I'm talking to you."
"..." Maple Syrup turned to look at Pine Rose, "What intelligence?"
Song Gui's boat was much bigger than Yu Xunge's. She leaned against the mast, arms crossed, looking down at them. She pointed a finger at the ball on their small table and said, "We have that too."
Maple Syrup: "What are your numbers?"
Song Gui: "Number 6, how many fish coins did you spend to buy it?"
Maple Syrup remained unfazed: "90,000."
Once one person answers a question, the exchange is complete.
At this moment, the motorcycle suddenly said, "She lied when she said number 6."
Fat Goose said, "...Your lie detection skill is way too delayed. Luckily, Maple Syrup is smart, otherwise we would have been at a huge disadvantage."
Yu Xunge thought of something and said, "I remember Song Gui seems to be..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Gui said from the other end, "Qiu Lu, I heard what she was thinking. She bought it for 50,000."
Maple Syrup: "..."
Yu Xunge: "...Hmm, it has mind-reading abilities."
