Simulation: Start with one person

"Is there something wrong with what I said? I think it's normal. Since it is a competition between schools, of course the weak must be screened out, not only for the safety of these weak but also for the glory of the school."

"Emmm... you are right to say that." The audience next to them nodded after hearing this. Since it is a competition between forces, of course the stronger one will win.

While several people were talking, several contestants had passed through the water track and arrived at the air track. The aerial track is the easiest of the three tracks. The only difficulty is the pitching. Without any skills, it is impossible to enter the air track in one go. Ball.

After the first two groups of people opened up the wasteland, the following people already understood how to pass the track.

"Really, no one is hitting the light ball? Obviously apart from traps, some are props..."

Fang Rui, who was watching the live broadcast, said: "We should hide the traps and props better. I thought it was the qualifiers, so I didn't hide them so deeply. Tsk..."

As students passed the preliminaries one by one, Dumbledore and others looked a little more serious. There seemed to be too many players participating in the competition...

"How difficult is the first event of the competition?" Dumbledore asked Professor McGonagall.

"The difficulty should be quite high." Although he didn't know much about Fang Rui's arrangement, he could guess from the water track arranged by the opponent that the difficulty would not be low.

"It's okay to screen out some people."

Dumbledore nodded slightly. There were too many people participating in the competition, which was also a problem.

Especially one of the purposes of the tournament is to fish and attract Voldemort.

Although it may not be successful, Voldemort may attack, and it is indeed not a place that ordinary students should go.

The professors from other schools also frowned. The competition was a serious competition. What were a bunch of lower grade students doing together?

Looking at Dumbledore, he saw that he didn't say anything. It was not easy for these people to say anything and they continued to watch the game in silence.

A few hours later, all the students who passed the preliminaries gathered in the cafeteria of the castle and drew lots to determine the order of appearance in the first event and the monsters they would face.

As for the guests from other worlds, they wandered around separately. Many people arrived at the entertainment facility where Fang Rui was, playing games and soaking in the hot springs.

"What do you think about the qualifiers?"

On the boardwalk on the shore, Fang Rui and Zefa were fishing. Fang Rui suddenly asked in the quiet atmosphere.

"A game between children." This was Zefa's first impression during the qualifiers.

There is one thing to say, based on the content of the competition, in Zefa's view, any event is almost the same as a game.

After all, the sailing world is full of dangers, and the graduation assessment of the naval training camp is all about real combat.

"After all, we are students! Don't ask for too much. What I want to ask is, do you think the competition is interesting?"

Fang Rui changed the subject to another topic. Of course, a competition between undergraduate students could not be full of dangers. What he wanted to ask about was entertainment.

"It's quite interesting."

Zefa truthfully expressed his feelings. After all, during the competition, some students stepped into traps, and the state they displayed was really laughable.

"As long as it's interesting." Fang Rui nodded slightly.

At the same time, some people from different forces were discussing trade matters in the resting place.

Fairy Tail wants to open a shop that sells products from other worlds, and is currently discussing with the navy and other forces. It is easy to negotiate for specialty products such as Neptune, but when it comes to certain special items, it is not so easy to reach a deal.

"Can these magic props be used in other worlds?" Kuzan asked.

Sakaski needed to be stationed at the Navy Headquarters, so he did not come to participate in the event. He and Polusalino led the team to participate in the event. Naturally, he and Polusalino were responsible for negotiating trade with other forces.

"It's possible, we've tested it, but after the magic power stored in the prop is used up, you need to ask us to replenish it." Makarov introduced.

Regarding the production of magic props, Fairy Tail has related books, and there are several people who have mastered the production skills.

Of course, you can also find other people to buy it. Makarov has many connections.

"Magic power..." Kuzan asked, "How much does it cost to replenish the magic power?"

Since the currencies between the two worlds are different, gold is common, not to mention that it can be bartered.

"To replenish the magic power, one hundred kilograms of meat, Neptune type." Makarov told the price.

"It's expensive." Kuzan replied.

You must know that these magic props need to be replenished with magic power frequently, and the navy's demand is very high. It is really expensive to replenish one hundred kilograms at a time.

"Then how much did you say?" Makarov raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The meat of Neptune species is worth thirty kilograms once, and the meat of other beasts and sea beasts is worth fifty kilograms every time." Kuzan gave his price.

"...Okay." Makarov hadn't thought about it for a while and felt that the price was not bad.

"In that case, let's draw up a contract."

Seeing that Makarov had no objection, Kuzan narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the other party still had a profit.

"How are you going to sell the special training spots in the Navy boot camp?"

After one thing was settled, the two continued to discuss another thing.

At the same time, other forces were also discussing cooperation. Most cooperation was quickly concluded, but only a few cooperations were still under discussion.

Chapter 411 Intermittent

While many guests talked about trade, students who passed the preliminary round were celebrating, and professors from various schools were inquiring about the details of the first project.

After all, cheating in the tournament is within the rules and there will be no problem if it is not discovered.

The method of collecting information is also very simple, either asking someone to ask, or sneaking into the Forbidden Forest to check the situation.

"What are these people doing?"

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, guests from other worlds saw a group of people sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"It must be cheating! I heard someone said that the Forbidden Forest contains the magical beasts that will be used in the first game."

Another person explained that he had no extra thoughts about someone cheating, and there was no need to tell the organizer anything.

"Should we tell Dumbledore?" someone asked. In some people's eyes, cheating is wrong.

"No, you can guess Dumbledore's thoughts from the fact that there are not many people guarding the area where the Warcraft is kept. Cheating should be part of the rules of the game and is allowed."

Someone explained, indicating that there was no need to look for Dumbledore.

"A game that allows cheating." Many people shook their heads. If cheating was allowed in their place, some people would be able to have fun, but there would be no way to play.

After saying that, everyone did not continue to talk about this matter, but talked about other things.

"Where are you going to play later?"

"Why don't you go fishing! I found that there are many kinds of fish in this lake. You can even catch mermaids."

When the mermaid was mentioned, someone smiled evilly.

"Mermaid!!!"

Many worlds have legends about mermaids. Some people who have never seen a mermaid are interested and turn their attention to someone.

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true." Some people who knew what the mermaids in the Black Lake looked like tightened their faces and sounded quite serious.

"Oh oh oh!!!" Some people became interested and looked excited.

Others felt that something was wrong, but fishing, especially mermaid fishing, was really fun, so...

"Okay, let's fish!"

With that said, the group of people took their fishing rods and went to the Black Lake and started fishing.

"Speaking of which, what do mermaids eat? I use earthworms for fishing."

Five minutes after starting fishing, someone suddenly spoke.

"That's a very good question. I don't know what mermaids like to eat. You have to ask some people who have caught mermaids..."

As he said this, the group of people turned their attention to a few people, the same people who had previously said they had caught mermaids.

"I didn't pay attention to what I like to eat. I was just fishing normally at the time, using very ordinary baits, and suddenly I caught a mermaid..."

Speaking of this, some people almost lost their expressions. When they caught a humanoid monster, many people were startled and almost threw a few attacks at the mermaid.

"Ordinary fishing bait..." the person next to him heard it, his expression a little subtle, it was hard to imagine that earthworms were in the mermaid's diet.

"I don't know why, I have a little headache." Perhaps because of their overly imaginative imagination, some people covered their foreheads with indescribable expressions.

"Okay, okay, after all, there is a word for fish in the name, and it's normal for the recipe to include earthworms."

Worried that these people would leave and have no fun watching, other people quickly persuaded them.

"If you don't know how to comfort people, you don't have to say it." After hearing what these people said, some people's expressions became even more ugly.

"Ahaha..." Worried about scaring away these people, someone did not continue.

In silence, everyone continued fishing.

Perhaps because of the experience of being caught several times before, the mermaids in the lake were not so easily fooled. Within half an hour, everyone did not gain much, but ordinary fish did gain a little.

On the other side, Fang Rui and Zefa, who were also fishing, looked a bit silent at the mermaid being caught.

"How many times has this happened?" Fang Rui tilted his head and said speechlessly.

"Three times!" Zefa's tone was unconvincing.

A certain mermaid was accustomed to holding the fishhook, and his movements were very skillful.

Fang Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this scene thoughtfully: "Why do I feel...this mermaid looks familiar?"

The looks of the mermaids were almost the same, and Fang Rui didn't look at a certain mermaid carefully, so he couldn't be sure. But when he saw the skillful movements of a certain mermaid, a certain idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Listening to what you said, it seems familiar." Zefa looked at it seriously for a while, also thoughtfully.

The mermaid, who was being stared at by the two men, froze for a moment, her eyes were a little flustered, and she moved faster to pick up the fishhook, then slipped into the water and ran away quickly.

"It seems that my guess is correct." Fang Rui nodded slightly. The truth should be what he guessed.

"Who told you to use the meat of sea kings as bait?" Zefa, who also guessed at the side, retracted his gaze and complained softly.

The meat of the Neptune species is full of nutrients and is full of temptations for carnivores.

"..." Fang Rui was helpless. How could he have guessed that there would be shameless mermaids specifically guarding his bait.

"Has your bait been eaten?"

Zefa retracted the fishing line and looked at the fishhook. The bait on it had disappeared.
