Half an hour later, everyone finally accepted this fact and knew Yang Lan'er's money-making plan.

The most important thing is that even though the Lord of Lezhou City decided to provide the medicinal materials, Yang Lan'er actually wanted to go back to do research.

What's even more frustrating about her research topic is that she wants to change the drug's effectiveness from twelve hours to six hours, which means that if she wants to sell it, others will have to buy at least twice as much to be able to use it.

Everyone was silent about this. It turned out that this was what unscrupulous businessmen were like.

Moreover, under this monopoly, the price of a six-hour potency medicine and a twelve-hour potency medicine would not be much different. Anyway, no one knows that the potency of the medicine is originally twelve hours, right? Everyone felt sad, just because Yang Lan'er was so "unmotivated". Others who studied the elixir tried to develop it in a better way, but she wanted to go back...

No one in Lezhou City was in a hurry to set off until after noon, when Yang Lan'er came out with a rosy face. Only then did everyone pack up and prepare to go to the river.

Yang Lan'er gave each of her teammates a bottle of ten underwater breathing pills, and naturally the medicinal effect lasted for twelve hours.

"The competition is only seven days away, why give us so much?" Bai Bi asked with a smile. He once again felt that it was wonderful to be in the same group with Yang Lan'er.

"It's better to be prepared. You never know when it might be needed." Yang Lan'er spread her hands. "Also, after you find the target, I hope you can continue to practice. Some things really work wonders underwater."

Hearing this, everyone seemed to be thinking about something.

"According to our agreement, the time is twelve hours. If you fail to achieve the mission target within this hour, you can go out to find me. Looking for the target is just a waste of time. If you really want to practice, you can concentrate more." Yang Lan'er smiled lightly and thought a lot.

Everyone nodded, thinking that this made sense. Wasting time on searching for the target would only make them more skilled at swimming, and would not do much for increasing their strength.

"Then, let's go. I have prepared everything else." The mayor of Lezhou City said with a hint of meaning.

When everyone looked over, they suddenly felt that the Lord of Lezhou City was the perfect logistics manager. He had prepared basically everything that could be used underwater, including clothes and other necessities.

The clothes are, of course, waterproof and a bit tight, looking like modern diving suits, of course, more beautiful, and without the fishtails on the feet.

As for eating and drinking, you can go ashore to solve the problem. There is no strict rule that goes ashore and is considered as giving up.

Anyway, as long as you hand in the task items within seven days, you will get points, and what's more flexible is that it doesn't mean that people who have handed in the task can't go into the water, and there is no calculation in helping each other.

It was for this reason that Yang Lan'er dared to say that after completing the task, she could continue to practice underwater.

When we arrived at the river, the wide space was already crowded with people, and stalls selling things were set up. A temporary market was formed in a short time.

The Lezhou City team was almost the last to arrive, but that did not hinder the allocation of territory. As a participating team, they naturally had a fixed territory.

Moreover, although the contestants arrived late, someone had already made preparations and the tents were set up early.

Lao Liu's stall is still outside the tent of the Lezhou City team. This year, thanks to the popularity of Yang Lan'er and others, his business is booming.

In the past, apart from the indigenous people, there were basically no outsiders here. On this day, a long section of the river bank became a street that never sleeps.

Due to the novelty of the competition, so many people came to watch that some traveling merchants did not rush to leave but instead came to join in the event.

Not long after Yang Lan'er and others arrived, Crown Prince Qian Ke came to visit. Although he was surprised that Tong Fei had recovered from such a serious injury, he did not show any other expression.

"Miss Yang, are you confident?" Qian Ke said gently.

Yang Lan'er glanced at him unceremoniously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you here to spy on 'military intelligence'?"

Qian Ke was not annoyed: "For me, it doesn't matter who becomes the final winner, as long as they are strong enough."

"Really?" Yang Lan'er expressed disbelief.

"I'm the one leading the team to the Empire this time, so naturally I hope they'll be as strong as possible." Qian Ke said what he was thinking.

Yang Lan'er disagreed. The prince's thoughts had little to do with her. To put it bluntly, she really didn't have a sense of belonging to the Qianxiang Dynasty. Moreover, there might not be any intersection in the future.

My impression of Qian Ke is neither good nor bad, just so-so. After all, he is just a stranger.

After a few more words, Qian Ke led his men away. Yang Lan'er sneered, "What is this prince doing here?"

"Lan'er, you are so rude. Come to think of it, the prince should want to make friends with us! Don't you really want to tell the prince about your plan to make money?" Yang Feiyin said worriedly.

"That's true. Once your elixir comes out, it will definitely change the outcome of the entire competition. Moreover, it will be a huge fortune. It doesn't seem a good idea to bypass the royal family..." Hong Ran also reminded.

"If we go to the empire, we naturally have to go there. This time, let's make money first." Yang Lan'er curled the corners of her mouth and said lazily.

Not only that, she also wanted to make money from the royal family. When she arrived in the empire, she was alone in a small Lezhou, so she naturally couldn't handle it.

Anyway, the second level of competition started soon. From time to time, splash sounds could be heard and some people jumped directly into the river.

At this time, no one other than the combatants or guards are allowed to enter the water.

Of course, no one is so idle as to go swimming in winter, as most people simply can’t stand it.

Think about it, it's the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and we're about to enter the middle of the month. We're actually going to fight underwater? The fishermen around here rarely go out fishing at this time, okay? After putting on their equipment, Yang Lan'er and the others calmly walked to the shore, encouraged each other, and went into the water one after another, so as to get enough mission items as soon as possible and do their own things as soon as possible.

Seeing all the members of the Lezhou City team go into the water, the onlookers were surprised. Could it be that Lezhou City was so lucky that all ten members could swim?

In this situation, except for a city near the sea, the other teams have people who don't know how to go into the water, and can only wait for their teammates to find more mission items for support.

Fortunately, the competitors from each team are all masters among ordinary people, otherwise, there would definitely be problems if they went into the water like this.

After Yang Lan'er went into the water, she noticed that the time each person could hold their breath was different depending on their strength. However, the longest time was only half an hour, and they had to return to the surface to breathe.

Moreover, the deeper you dive, the shorter the time you can hold your breath, the greater the water pressure, which means greater energy consumption.

The Lezhou City team was relatively late in getting into the water, and some of the teams that got there earlier didn’t even know how many times they had to take a breath.
