Chapter 872 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 116
After Yu Xunge activated the "710th School Rule," he made 30 scratch cards in a row. He took out a large pumpkin from his bag to use as a table, and then took out a gold coin to use as a scratcher. He then lay down on the pumpkin and started scratching.
Forty minutes later.
Having made a fortune selling replicas of fish bones and successfully completed her big purchase, Mistblade was excitedly planning to go fishing when she paused as she passed a corner and walked toward her companion who was lying on a pumpkin, muttering to herself.
She was scratching a piece of parchment back and forth with a gold coin in her right hand, and next to her was a stack of parchment that had already been scraped, at least 80 pieces.
Even before the mist blade got close, it could feel the soaring resentment.
"Aa ...
"How could this be? How could this be!"
"Damn it..."
"I've been framed by Zhu Ri, waaaaah!"
"How can such a skill exist in the world...?"
"Tragedy, I am the complete tragedy!"
"Why are there chopsticks?!"
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to slam the Sun's head off!"
He's already starting to talk nonsense...
Fogblade leaned over and took a look.
Yu Xunge had just finished scratching that card, but it didn't come up! She slammed her fist on the pumpkin, smashing the pumpkin underneath the scratch card to pieces.
She's already reached the limit and opened the 710 school rule three times, opening 30 scratch cards each time, and making a new one every minute. She has 116 scratch cards in hand, and has already scratched more than 80 of them without getting a prize!
Mist Blade glanced at the scattered parchment next to the pumpkin. Judging from Xun Ge's expression, he probably hadn't gotten the fishing rod. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the chance really that small? Didn't we get it with just one piece before?"
Yu Xunge was stunned. She tilted her head back and stared at the mist blade for a while.
Mistblade: "What's wrong?"
The next second, a deep blue ship's wheel appeared between them, with seawater churning and swirling within it, creating white waves as it passed the cat-shaped masts.
But soon, it disappeared again.
Xun Ge, who had just looked dejected, was still sitting on the pumpkin, but her posture had changed slightly. She was now smiling at him and handing him a scratch card: "This one's for you to scratch! You can try scratching a fishing rod."
…
What if you have absolutely no skills to make money?
One of the best things about God's Game is that it doesn't leave the contestants completely unable to continue. Even if some contestants' skills are completely unsuitable for the game, God's Game will always leave some paths for players to take.
The same applies to this game; you can ask shopkeepers and city residents for quests—even if you're just talking to yourself, residents will come up to you and ask if the apprentice can help you.
Alternatively, you could reach a betting agreement with certain special residents, where the residents provide fishing gear and bait, but the apprentices have to give them a certain number of fish within a certain number of hours or provide a certain type of fish. If they cannot provide the fish, they can compensate with skills or items.
If all else fails, you can sell the props you brought in.
In short, even without suitable skills, there are many ways to make money.
After collecting several methods and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various plans, Maple Syrup chose to make a bet with a restaurant owner.
The fishing gear and bait he offered weren't the best, but he was the only one willing to accept his secondary weapons as collateral, and he only had a requirement regarding the quantity of fish.
It took her more than an hour just to gather information and obtain the fishing gear, but Maple Sugar felt that the time was not wasted.
Fishing is not something that can be done by luck alone; preparation beforehand is also very important.
Otherwise, why would the fishing gear in the store have so many levels, and so many things that can increase fishing success rate?
Carrying the top-grade fishing gear and bait provided by the other party, she flew towards the sea, recalling the rare fish species she had just seen, and figuring out how to catch the rarest fish in this game.
Is it the quality of the fishing gear? The fishing technique? Or luck?
As they approached the shore, her gaze paused.
Huh? Why are there so many apprentices gathered there?
Fogblade and Fat Goose were also there... scraping parchment nearby.
Oh, scrape!
Maple Syrup turned its wings and changed direction, flying away.
"Fifty portions of premium bait or one sheet of 20 portions of top-grade bait!"
"Fuel? We don't need fuel for now."
"This fishing net is nice, I'll get you two!"
"You didn't bring any gold coins? You need gold coins to play this game. I can provide gold coins, but you'll have to give me an extra portion of bait."
"This hat... um, this hat is fine, let me get you a different one."
Xun Ge leaned against the wall, took the black fisherman's hat from the crab claw, put it on her head, handed the scratch-off lottery ticket to the other person, and continued to wave the scratch-off lottery ticket in her hand.
A group of apprentices surrounded her, offering various baits in exchange for scratch-off lottery tickets. She was extremely picky, refusing any bait that wasn't of a high enough grade.
Maple Syrup: "..."
With mixed feelings, she walked over to Fogblade, who was playing with scratch cards, and craned her neck to take a look. It turned out that Fogblade wanted to scratch off a fishing rod. She asked, "How much did you scratch?"
Mistblade recognized Maple Syrup's voice and replied without looking up, "Three sheets, sigh, not any again..."
The fat goose standing nearby sighed, "Me neither!"
Maple Syrup actually wanted to leave immediately, but she couldn't help herself. She said with exasperation, "This is a fun competition! What are you guys doing?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but walk over to Xun Ge, forcibly pull her to a corner, and whispered, "Aren't you worried about the other apprentices scratching your ancient fishing rod?!"
After saying that, she paused, then muttered to herself, "Ancient-level fishing rod...Ancient-level fishing rod!"
Her gaze fell on the fishing rod in her hand. It was already a very good fishing rod. It was sold in stores, and it would cost a full 150,000 fish bones to buy, and there was no discount!
But even such a fishing rod is only legendary.
There are only three fishing rods more expensive than this, and those three epic fishing rods cost 500,000 to buy.
She slowly looked at Xun Ge, who was staring at her with wide eyes, as if waiting for her to walk into his trap. Maple Sugar did indeed jump in, and she said directly, "One!"
Yu Xunge immediately raised the scratching tool in his hand: "Fifty portions of premium-grade fish bait per sheet."
Although she realized there was a catch, Maple Sugar's experience of winning big with just one scratch made her think that scratching was a really good thing. And it wasn't just her who scratched out a weapon; Fogblade and Fat Goose also won prizes.
This skill is purely a charitable skill!
She immediately stuffed fifty portions of bait into the singer's pocket, pulled out a scratch card, and then advised, "Are you sure you want to keep selling scratch cards? What if someone actually scratches out an ancient fishing rod?"
Yu Xunge put away the bait and the remaining scratch cards in her hand: "I'm not selling anymore. I have enough fishing gear and bait. I'm going fishing."
She emphasized it again, which drew many sighs in response.
The apprentices who had been hesitant before sighed the loudest.
After waving to his apprentice, Yu Xunge flew towards the seaside, his wide-brimmed straw hat and black school uniform robe billowing in the sea breeze.
Even just looking at her from behind, you could tell she was in a good mood.
Maple Syrup frowned slightly, clutching the parchment in her hand, and asked Mistblade, "Don't you think she's completely unconcerned?"
“Yes, she acted like she knew we wouldn’t get a really good fishing rod.” At this point, Mistblade changed the subject, “But we still wanted to try, didn’t we? After all, the scratch-off tickets are real, and she wasn’t entirely sure either… Let’s go, I’ve already wasted a lot of time.”
After saying that, she picked up her fishing gear and flew away.
Immediately afterwards, the fat goose and the other apprentices who had been gathered there also left one after another.
Fogblade was right. Even though she knew that Xun Ge's willingness to use scratch cards to exchange for fishing gear and bait meant that she was sure they wouldn't get anything good, Maple Sugar still sat on the fishing gear box and eagerly put a gold coin into the scratch card.
What if?
Okay, whatever...
I knew Xun Ge wouldn't be so arrogant!
Maple Syrup got up with a dark expression, picked up her fishing gear, and flew towards the shore.
