Chapter Twenty Four

　　Since you found that everyone started to pay attention to the coach, out of face, you had to take off the cloak of the bleating sheep and asked him to put it on.　

　　The coach didn't make any protests, and took the cloak and put it on in silence - I always feel that the coach looks more curious after putting on the cloak, especially like an exhibitionist. What's more, you also found something even worse, except for Gon, almost no one wants to look at him, and even the way they look at you has become weird.

　　It's too bad...the system is getting harsher on you...

　　You feel a little depressed and decide to escape for a while, so you make an excuse to tell Gon and the others that it is inconvenient, and then go straight to the corner where there are few people.

　　"Oh, hurry up, Carrot Potato, we'll wait for you outside."

　　Gon nodded to you, and at the same time, the Hunter Association announced the results and informed the remaining candidates to take a boat to the next test site.

　　Don't yell Carrot Potato in every sentence... You thought bitterly, before you get a new follower, you have to try your best to maintain your image and keep a distance from everyone. Although this is not the real world, you don't want to be Plot characters as novelty hunters...

　　Dejectedly following the team at the end and preparing to leave the tower, you suddenly remembered that you had commissioned a merchant to synthesize weapons, so you quickly scanned the crowd to find the merchant, and then you found that he was the only one standing in the original position without moving. So you trot over quickly, staring at him expectantly and asking, "Is my weapon ready?"

　　"hi , Yes ." The honest-looking businessman nodded repeatedly, then took out a huge mace from his backpack that also looked like a different-dimensional pocket, and handed it to you.

　　You stared at the mace in your hand for a long time.

　　Old dark purple, with plenty of weight, with spikes on the top, as heavy as if it could smash someone's head with a stick, very good.

　　but...

　　You slowly raised your head, and asked uncertainly: "...it seems that nothing has changed from before?"

　　"Why hasn't it changed? Take a closer look." The trader quickly rubbed his hands together, staring at the mace and pouted: "Didn't you notice that there's something new in it?"

　　What's more?

　　You stared at the mace in bewilderment for a long time, and finally found that there was suddenly a small black hair ball on the handle of the mace.

　　...What is this mobile phone pendant-like charm?

　　"This is a new weapon combined with the mace and the feather of the bluffing crow - the mace of the wind."

　　The merchant happily explained to you the benefits of weapon synthesis, how to strengthen the attack and hit on the original basis, and also changed the initial shape of the weapon along the way; The ball of goose feathers vibrates coquettishly every time, like a ball of dirty things sticking to the mace, so I feel that the weapon, which was already ineffective before, has become even more insignificant...

　　"Carrot Potato—the boat's leaving! Is your side all right?—"

　　Hearing Gon urging you outside, you had no choice but to let go of your inner entanglement for the time being, put the synthesized mace back into the package, answered "here we come", and rushed to the exit.　

　　The merchant smiled and waved at your back: "Thank you for your patronage, come again next time~"

　　Running out of the Jianjing tower, I found that the airship that will take you to the next examination room is about to leave, and the rest of the candidates have already boarded the plane. Gon and the others are waving at you through the glass window.

　　"Come on, Carrot Potato—"

　　You ran over in a hurry, thinking how could this be? In the past, no matter what system you did, the system would wait for you stupidly, but now there is no room for it. Although intelligence is indeed much freer than before, you always feel that the world is The difficulty of exploration seems to have increased...

　　Not long after, the airship stopped in front of an old ship.

　　"It's so hot... No matter what the test questions are, just come here!"

　　At noon, the air on the deck was very hot, and Leorio sweated a lot, and a little irritable, he took off his suit jacket, revealing his sweaty shirtless shoulders.

　　Soon someone came out of the bed cabin, it was an old couple. At first I thought it was the examiner, but the two of them looked ordinary, and they didn't bring uncomfortable tension like the previous examiners. The old woman looked honest and simple, and she had a double ponytail. The old man wore glasses, Looks like a scholar.

　　"We are the owners of this ship, welcome to Battleship Island."

　　The old couple slowly introduces themselves to you about the history of the ship, and then tells you that the next round of tests will start in three days, and before that, the candidates can take a good rest here.

Everyone thought that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't have time to be happy. They also said that if they want to stay in the ship, they must pay 10 million money, otherwise the room will not be provided.

　　"What?! This is extortion!"

　　After hearing the words, the examinees started to commotion, and Leorio was very angry. If it wasn't for the old man, he might have rushed to beat them. He resisted his anger and protested angrily: "I have no money! It's a big deal! We Camp in the forest!"

　　"Calm down, Leorio." Kurapika stopped and calmly began to analyze the situation: "There are still three days before the start of the next round of exams. The temperature is too high during the day and it is easy to get dehydrated. If there is no water source Supplying us simply won't last that long."

　　As he spoke, Kurapika's eyes flickered, he raised his head slightly, stared at the smiling old couple and said, "But we don't have 10 million, is there any other way to stay?"

　　"Hehe... What a keen child." The old man proudly stroked his chin, and raised his finger to the surrounding sea area: "One of the reasons why it is called Warship Island is that there are many sunken ships here, and many of them carry a large number of ships. Treasures, as long as you can find treasures of corresponding value, you can adapt to the rent, of course, the quality of the room also corresponds to the value of the treasures."

　　"Tch, I knew it wasn't such a good thing!" Leorio muttered angrily.

　　"Do you want my room? I can give it to you if you want it! Go find it! Find all the treasures of Hunter King C. Roger!"

　　"Woo!"

　　Everyone disperses immediately, you understand that this may be part of the exam content, but you always feel as if you have time-traveled in another comic... What the hell is the Hunter King! Is it really okay to change the original settings at will? !

　　"Don't be dazed, Carrot Potato! Let's go find the treasure!"

　　Gon interrupted your wild thoughts, Leorio and Kurapika have already dived into the water, you have no choice but to reply "Come right away", and reluctantly follow along to hunt for treasure.

　　Fortunately, Gon didn't say that he is the man who is going to be the hunter king. You silently think, at this time the bikini will really come in handy...

　　Of course, none of you found any treasure of the Hunter King (you guessed that this might be a hidden mission, but you have abyssal phobia and dare not dive too deep in the sea, so just give it up for now), you picked it up in the sunken pirate ship After a few treasures, he didn't want to continue diving, so you climbed onto the deck of the ship wetly.

　　The line for exchanging room keys is already very long. You walked to the back of the line with your treasure in your arms, and suddenly an unknown examinee waved to you and said with a grin, "Here, here! queuing!"

　　Huh? Does that mean you can jump in line?

　　You are surprised, but suddenly realize that once you put on a bikini, your charm will be greatly improved... Is it good to have high charm?

　　That's great... just keep going down in bikinis, anyway, there are shameless coaches behind you, why don't you go all out with a broken jar... Thinking about it this way, you simply don't care about shame, and you just jump in the queue as a matter of course, and you don't have to wait long Just got the room key.

　　"It's just a very ordinary treasure...a second-class room."

　　The old man squinted his eyes and studied the treasure you found for a long time, shook his head while sighing, then took out a key from the drawer and handed it to you.

　　"Don't say that, give me a second room."

　　"Ah? This is not okay..."

　　"Please, Dad, you are very handsome."

　　"No, no..."

　　The effect of the bikini seems to be ineffective on the old man, you feel a little sorry, and the old lady standing next to him has been staring at you with angry eyes.

　　You feel very uncomfortable, and you think you can do it, so you pick up the key to the second-class room, and when you are about to leave, the old woman suddenly calls out to stop you.

　　"Wait a minute."

　　"?"

　　You stopped and turned to look at the old lady.

　　"Although it shouldn't be done, let's make an exception and give you a first-class room."

　　The old lady grinned, revealing a mouthful of broken front teeth, looking a little sinister.

　　"Huh? Good."

　　Although you don't know why the old woman suddenly changed her mind, you still gladly exchanged keys with her and led the coach away happily. The old man stared blankly at your background, suddenly the old woman grabbed his ears and reprimanded him.

　　I don't know who my roommate is.

　　As you walked and thought, there seemed to be few normal people among the candidates, but anyone except Hisoka could really... You prayed silently in your heart, and finally walked to the door of your room.

　　You take a deep breath.

　　Then he pulled the handle and slowly opened the door.

　　"Crack——"

　　Before you had time to see clearly who your roommate is, suddenly a playing card flew in front of you and stuck it on the floor in front of you with a click.

　　You took a deep breath, without thinking too much, immediately turned around and closed the door, staring at the sparkling sea water in front of you with twitching corners of your mouth.

　　Did you hit the jackpot? No, it's obvious that you were revenged by the old woman!

　　"Hmm, why don't you come in?"

Suddenly there was a strange and perverted vibrato from behind the door panel, and you ran away quickly without daring to look back.
