"First come, first served?" Law looked at the old granny doubtfully.
"Don't you understand?" The old granny said lightly.
Law thought for a moment and asked, "You mean... the qualification to board the ship?"
"Not too stupid," said the old granny.
Law smiled helplessly and nodded to show that he understood.
Just like the literal order, three hundred places, first come, first served.
The crowd on the port was surging, waiting for the arrival of the Goddess.
The Goddess is the ship sailing to Peter's continent. It is said that there is a sculpture of a woman hanging on the bow, so it is named the Goddess, but they don't know how beautiful the sculpture is. About this, Law is still very curious.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was about eleven o 'clock. A large ship came from the sea and came into everyone's eyes.
At this time, it was still far away and only the general outline of the Goddess could be seen, and the white sculpture hanging on the bow was very vague.
"Here it comes."
Law looked very relaxed, but at the moment when the ship appeared, the crowd naturally showed a tense atmosphere.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Goddess was moored on the sea outside the reef area because there was no extra space in the port.
"Is this the Goddess?"
Although the Goddess was some distance from the shore, Law could barely see the sculpture on the bow of the Goddess, which was an old woman with a kind face.
The Goddess of God!
He thought of many versions, basically half naked, graceful woman statue in silk clothes, but the result was like this...
Law covered his eyes and found it difficult to accept this setting.
"Ahem."
At this time, an old cough came from the Goddess, amplified by the loudspeaker so that everyone on the shore could hear it clearly.
"The ship will stop here for an hour."
The voice was very brief, but it revealed a message to the people who participated in the test, that is, the time limit.
The clamor on the shore strangely quieted down. A moment later, the surging crowd dispersed like a group of ants gathered together. Many people immediately began to move.
The majority of the people who acted were almost dispersed in a short time, and they were all trying to get on the Goddess.
"Law, are we going to swim over?" Bouhara asked.
"Silly, of course, by boat."
Law looked at the location of the Goddess, which was more than one kilometer away from the shore. It was not difficult to swim over this distance, but there were many reefs and undercurrents, and it was easy to be swept away.
Even if the surface of the sea looked very calm, there could be undercurrents surging.
If one had been in Maffando for a while, they would have noticed that the local residents of Maffando rarely went swimming in the sea.
Thinking of this, Law suddenly noticed that many candidates seemed to be preparing to swim over and were warming up. Some people began to think of ways to get the whole boat. More people seemed to be eyeing the two big ships docked at the port.
Considering the undercurrent, the ship should be able to cross it easily.
However, regardless of whether it was a small boat or a large ship, it had to be approved by the residents. Paying should be the fastest way. This was unavoidable. It could be considered another form of ticket money.
"Grandma Melinda, please take care of Sambika during this time." Law said goodbye to Melinda to cross the undercurrent area by boat.
"Alright." Melinda nodded.
Law glanced at Sambika and was about to take Bouharr to the shallows when he heard an uproar.
Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the group of examinees who had decided to swim over.
After warming up, the group jumped into the sea and swam to the Goddess regardless of the dissuasion of the local residents.
They were not stupid. They avoided the area around the reef area and went down to the sea from another place. However, a calm sea does not mean that it is safe.
Very soon, a few of the people who swam out suddenly disappeared.
There were about forty people who went into the sea, all of whom were very confident in their swimming skills. When they swam out two or three hundred meters, many people realized that something was wrong, but at this point, they could only hold on.
Many people on the shore were watching. After a while, they saw that the number of people who swam out was reduced by more than half in a short time.
Those who disappeared must have been killed, and there were only a dozen people getting closer and closer to the Goddess.
"They're on board."
Someone shouted when they saw the people who swam past being picked up.
Although some people succeeded, no one wanted to board the ship by swimming again. They saw the dozens of people who disappeared.
After some people successfully boarded the ship, the rest of the people moved faster.
The big ship had not been negotiated yet, but many small boats had been rented out, and they all paid a lot of money.
Law saw many examinees paying from afar, but he was not worried because he asked Uncle Beck to keep one for him.
"Grandma Melinda, this is the ticket money, right?" Law suddenly looked at Melinda.
"You can say that. After all, it's only once a year. If you don't make a good profit, it's against human nature." Melinda said calmly.
Law's face was slightly dark when he heard this. He looked at the crowd gathered on the big ship and said helplessly: "There are only three hundred places on the ship. If you want to collect the ticket money, you can only take three hundred at most. Now it should not be a problem to collect the ticket money of thousands of people."
The rent of the small boat and the cost of boarding the two big ships in the port should be a lot. Compared with the income of setting the price of three hundred tickets, it is possible to increase it by dozens of times.
As Grandma Melinda said, once a year, so they have to make a lot of money.
"What does this have to do with you? Hurry up and go. Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?" Melinda waved her hand.
Law smiled bitterly and said to Sambika, "Let's go and wait for me to come back."
"Okay." Sambika replied.
"Bohala, come with me."
Law put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the shallows, where the boat was parked.
Bohara chuckled and quickly caught up with him.
As long as he followed Law, he didn't have to think so much.
Melinda and Sambika watched the two leave. After a while, Melinda said in a firm tone: "Go home, those two boys can get on the boat."
With that, she turned and left.
Sambika didn't speak. She took one last look at Law's back and followed Melinda.
In her opinion, not to mention getting on the boat, the whole hunter test was a piece of cake for Law.
Law and Bohala came to the shallows. The boats were basically swept away and rented out by the examinees. There was only one boat left, which was reserved by Law.
"I'll give you three times the price. I'll take this boat."
When Law and Bohala came to the place where the boat was parked, they saw two men holding a handful of money in their hands and shouting arrogantly at the dark-skinned Uncle Beck.
"It's the same no matter how much money you give. This boat is reserved for others and won't be rented to you." Uncle Beck looked calm.
"You want to raise the price, right? Ten times, enough for you to buy a coffin. "The man who took the money took out another handful of money, his expression and tone were very bad.
Uncle Beck was still unmoved, and he didn't get angry even when it came to the coffin.
Law looked at this scene and was quite moved. After all, the residents of Maffando are now making a lot of money. As Melinda said, it's against human nature. Translated, it's a bastard who doesn't make money.
It's just that Uncle Beck didn't put ten times the profit in his eyes at all because he had an agreement with Law.
"Excuse me, make way."
Law walked over, put his hands on the two men's shoulders, pushed them left and right, and came to Uncle Beck.
The two men staggered and were almost pushed to the ground.
"You're here." Seeing Law, Uncle Beck's tense face relaxed slightly and showed a smile.
"Well." Law nodded and said with a smile, "I'll be leaving soon."
"Go ahead." Uncle Beck was concise.
"Bastard, dare to push me!" At this time, there was an angry voice in his ear, but the two men were glaring at Law, looking like they were going to fight. They wanted to rob if they couldn't rent it.
Bohala silently squeezed his hand, making a cracking sound of bones.
Luo Weiwei smiled and looked at the two men. She released her momentum and gathered her beam to cover the two men.
Being taken care of by Law's momentum alone, the two men who were not strong enough shook their bodies and fainted without warning.
The aura formed by Ki has an excellent effect on ordinary people who are not strong enough.
Law was too lazy to talk to these two men and directly stunned them with his aura. He found that the effect of the aura was not bad.
Bohala and Uncle Beck looked at the two men who fainted inexplicably and were surprised. They didn't ask, and Law naturally wouldn't say.
Later, under the gaze of Uncle Beck, Law boarded the boat with Bohala and rushed into the undercurrent area with oars.
Law's movements, which didn't look skillful but were in place, were immediately noticed by two people.
One was Uncle Beck, the other was the captain who stayed on the Goddess and watched the reef area with binoculars.
