The mustached man did not explain in detail, perhaps because he thought that the customers present knew the rules well enough. However, the main rules were clear.
If one could remove the poison bag from the porpoises, the profit would definitely not be low. On the other hand, if one failed, one would have to buy the porpoises that failed to remove the poison bag. This was the main rule of the more skilled one.
From the perspective of profit and risk, it was obviously a good deal. After all, these were ten Sea Thorny Dolphins. If the poison bags were successfully removed, then a large sum of money would be earned. If the poison bags were removed, then it would only cost one or two million worth of gold coins.
This rule was reflected in the value of the technique, not the product itself.
The difference in price between a porpoise that had its poison bag removed perfectly and a porpoise that had failed to remove the poison bag was like heaven and earth.
If the participant was not skilled enough, it was equivalent to betting on profits. The fish market adopted the rule of the more skilled one to bet on profits. If someone could successfully remove the poison bag, even if they had to give up half of the profits, it would still be worth more than ten failed products.
However, the little girl took the initiative and made the careful choice seem like child's play.
The mustached man looked at the little girl who went up on stage and was displeased. He said in a low voice, "Men Qi, this is not a place for you to mess around."
Since he could call out her name, he obviously knew the little girl.
"The rule of the more skilled one doesn't limit the participant's age." Men Qi opened her eyes wide and retorted without holding back.
"But the price of a failed product is not something you can afford." The mustached man said.
Once the poison bag was removed, one would have to buy the porpoises for around 1.5 million. Of course, those who knew the black market could sell the porpoises to the black market and recoup some of their capital.
However, for a ten-year-old girl to not have the technique to remove the poison bag, she probably had not even come into contact with the black market. This meant that the risk she had to bear was extreme.
"I won't fail." Men Qi raised her stubborn little face.
Where did her confidence come from?
The mustached man was depressed. Even though he knew that Men Qi's talent was different from ordinary people and that she was very good at handling ingredients, these porpoises were not ordinary seafood.
Perhaps Men Qi had grasped the theory, but it was another matter to put it into practice.
"1.5 million." The mustached man only said a number.
Men Qi felt guilty, but she quickly adjusted herself and calmly met the mustached man's gaze.
Seeing that Men Qi had made up her mind, the mustached man did not intend to dissuade her. Every time, [The Most Skilled Gets It] product, most of them ended up in failure, especially precious items like the Sea Thorny Pufferfish.
He shifted his gaze to the audience and continued, "Are there any other guests willing to give it a try?"
After a while, a man in a chef's uniform walked out of the crowd. He looked like a chef who had just come out of a restaurant's kitchen. After a while, an ordinary-looking man who was close to 30 years old walked out with a kitchen knife.
There were a total of three people who were willing to give it a try. One was Men Qi, one was a man in a chef's uniform, and one was a man with a kitchen knife.
Whether it was the guests in the venue or the organizer of the fish market, they all hoped that the participants on the stage could successfully remove the poison bag from the porpoise.
The Sea Thorny Pufferfish's food grade was between C and B. If the poison bag was removed perfectly, it would be equivalent to having the qualifications of B.
Law looked at the three people on the stage, thought about it, and decided not to join in the fun. He had already eaten the Sea Thorny Pufferfish, so he did not need much, but …
"Men Qi, is it the same person?"
Law's gaze focused on the little girl.
In the original work's hunter test, she appeared as an examiner and was known as the youngest one-star food hunter in history.
Also, the man with the kitchen knife, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he could not remember.
On the auction stage, the mustached man asked the staff to bring up three stone workbenches that were full of tools.
"If you fail once, you will be disqualified." The mustached man reminded, and then asked, "So, who will go first?"
"Of course it's me!"
Men Qi was the first to step out.
She was the first to sign up, and the other two had no objections.
Under everyone's gaze, Men Qi walked to the 'U' shaped stone workbench, but found that her height did not match the workbench, so she asked the staff on the stage to bring her a low stool.
Looking at this scene, the audience in the venue suddenly burst into laughter.
Law touched his forehead. It was extraordinary to have the courage to try at this age, but the corresponding things were not ordinary. Age was bound to become a factor of ridicule, which was inevitable.
If this little girl was the Men Qi in the original work, then Law felt that she had the possibility of success, but most people in the venue probably did not think so.
"Bang!"
The sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board was heard. Then, Men Qi waved the kitchen knife and said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Believe it or not, I will cut you in half!"
"…" Law was speechless. Well, it was most likely that Men Qi.
Looking at Men Qi's shrewish look, and calling herself an old lady at this age, the audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into more violent laughter. Men Qi was so angry that she almost rushed off the stage. In the end, the mustached man came forward and suppressed the laughter in the venue.
From this moment on, the mentality of most people changed to watching the fun, and also regretted that the first failure of the Sea Thorny Pufferfish was going to appear.
Obviously, they did not think that Men Qi could succeed. They only used 1.5 million yuan to buy a chance to try, or to buy a lesson.
The staff prepared a low stool for Men Qi, and then moved the Sea Thorny Pufferfish full of spikes to the workbench.
After everything was ready, Men Qi chose a handy kitchen knife, stepped on the stool, and looked at the dangerous Sea Thorny Pufferfish up close, her eyes shining brightly.
"This is the Sea Thorny Pufferfish."
Men Qi thought excitedly, the theory of removing the Sea Thorny Pufferfish was hovering in her head.
"First, I have to remove the spikes."
Men Qi said to herself, and had entered a state of full concentration. Her small face was extremely serious and solemn.
The knife suddenly flashed, and many people did not see it clearly. They only saw the four-foot-long spikes fall. Then, the little girl waved her arms, made a dazzling operation, and cut off the spikes on the Sea Thorny Pufferfish with amazing efficiency.
Soon, the Sea Thorny Pufferfish turned into a bare meatball, and the previous dangerous atmosphere disappeared.
Men Qi's knife skills reversed everyone's opinion. Even the other two participants on the stage looked at Men Qi with amazement.
The originally noisy venue had completely quieted down. Everyone's gaze landed on the petite little girl.
Maybe … she can succeed?
Law looked at the spikes that were cut off by Men Qi and sighed in his heart. Removing the spikes can indeed provide great convenience, but at the same time, it also increases the difficulty of removing the poison bag. In general, the first step of removing the spikes increases the probability of failure.
Removing the poison bag is equivalent to defusing the bomb. This metaphor is not exaggerated. One wrong step will cause the whole game to be lost.
Men Qi turned a blind eye to the surrounding eyes. Her mind was completely immersed in how to remove the poison bag. She raised the knife and began the first step of the dissection, cutting the epidermis, cutting horizontally and vertically. Every move was pleasing to the eye.
With Men Qi's unusual knife skills, more and more people began to think that Men Qi may succeed.
However, just as many people began to have expectations, with a slight puff, Men Qi stopped the movement of her hands and looked up awkwardly at the man with the moustache.
She failed.
"I'm sorry that you have to pay 1.5 million to buy this Sea Thorny Pufferfish." The man with the moustache sighed in his heart, a little regretful.
Men Qi put down the kitchen knife and simply said, "I have no money."
The man with the moustache raised his eyebrows and said, "That's your business. Find a way to solve it yourself."
"That's the only way."
Men Qi nodded and said seriously, "The way I thought of … is to run!"
Before her voice fell, she suddenly ran to the left side of the stage. Her movements were agile and her speed was not slow.
This unexpected move shocked most people, including the man with the moustache. He thought, you can run away from the monk, but can you run away from the temple?
Looking at this scene, Law sighed softly. It really refreshed his impression, but it also let him see Men Qi's background. It was really unusual, whether it was her knife skills or the speed she was showing now.
At this moment, the man with the kitchen knife on the stage moved. In a flash, he caught Men Qi.
