Adventurer of the Elf World
Chapter 772: Island Tour
Xiu thought that the riot caused by Mewtwo's awakening had directly destroyed the entire laboratory. Most of the data was lost, and the researchers were killed or injured. Even if Team Rocket coveted Mewtwo's powerful combat power, they might not be able to replicate a Pokémon like Mewtwo.
"It's better to have fewer such super-level things. If there are two more Team Rockets, won't they rule the world?"
"Then do you want to investigate further? I'm not sure I can protect you from Mewtwo." Casey said in a flat tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
"The clues have been cut off. Even if I want to investigate further, I can't." Xiu smiled bitterly and spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.
However, he knew that Casey was telling the truth. If he continued to investigate, he would take a big risk, and the biggest problem was that there was no profit.
Casey also knew what Xiu meant, and didn't say much.
"Okay, okay! We've been busy for a long time. Let's go to the town for a walk later." Xiu also changed the subject at the right time.
…………
The temperature in Honglian Island is very stable all year round. Even in winter, the temperature is relatively comfortable and there is no low temperature that makes people feel cold. Therefore, now that summer is over, there are more tourists.
Walking on the street, there are many couples or family trips.
When I first came up, I was in a hurry to find a place to stay, so I didn’t pay much attention. Now Xiu found that there are really many activities.
But they all can’t escape the name of consumption.
“Hey! It’s quite lively over there, go and have a look.”
Xiu said and walked over, and Casey followed slowly behind. It was rare for it to open its eyes for a long time to look at the surrounding situation.
That was the prosperous area of the town, with a small flower bed in the middle and a circular square paved with floor tiles around it.
This is the intersection of several streets, with a large flow of people, various small carts and stalls, and some messy performances.
It was afternoon at this time, and the people coming and going were simply crowded in this small square.
The most prominent of them was of course a banner raised in the center of the square, with the words “Race Around the Island” written on it.
Xiu approached and found that there were quite a lot of people there. Under the banner was a small table with two young ladies sitting on it to help with the registration procedures, and some people were queuing to register.
In addition, there was a signboard with information about the round-the-island race.
Xiu took a quick look and found that the organizer was really good at doing business.
First, the event was introduced. It was divided into a major competition once a year and a small competition once a month.
Among them, the annual competition was fixed as a long-distance race, and the rewards were also the most attractive.
The first place can get an egg of the three major families, which is worth about 200,000.
The second place can get an evolution stone. According to the situation in previous years, it is usually one of the water and fire grasses that match the eggs of the three major families, which is worth about 100,000.
The third place will directly receive a cash reward of 50,000.
The organizer obviously has an alliance background, otherwise how can they get the eggs of the three major families?
The competition is more formal, and it should be an event to boost the economy of Honglian Island.
However, it is certain that the economy created by the people attracted by the event on Honglian Island is definitely comparable to the prizes.
Moreover, after years of being held, the reputation of this event has become more and more popular.
The annual competition is very formal, but the monthly competition is more casual, and the competition start date is also marked, two days later.
Xiu only realized at this time that it was already the end of the month.
He usually strolled around and didn't pay attention to these things, but he didn't expect that another month had passed.
The project is also relatively leisurely, usually single-person bicycles and double-person bicycles are rotated.
This time the project happened to be a single-person bicycle.
The rewards are naturally much more ordinary. The first place is a bicycle or a shopping voucher worth 1,000 yuan, the second place is a special souvenir or a shopping voucher worth 700 yuan, and the third place is the most direct, just a shopping voucher worth 500 yuan.
It also marks the start date of the competition, one day later.
Xiu also found a very interesting thing, that is, this event is completely prepared for tourists.
The first and most direct thing is that Xiu has been standing here for a while, but there is no sign of local people participating. All the registered people are tourists, most of whom are men.
If you want to participate in this event, you need a bicycle. Although it is not said that you can't bring your own, this is an island. You can't bring a bicycle when you go out for tourism, right?
Then we can only rent a car, and the car dealer will take the money.
Although the shopping vouchers are valid throughout the island, they have to be spent here, and the money goes into the pockets of local stores anyway.
Those who don't get rewards can only spend money to accompany the runners, and it also wastes time.
The cost of holding this event may be around 5,000, of which more than 2,000 is as bonuses, and the rest is for staff recruitment and venue arrangement.
Xiu made a slight estimate in his mind, turned back and complained to Casey: "Look, these are all consumption traps. Except for those three people, the rest are losers who accompany the runners. Only smart people will not be fooled. Wouldn't it be nice to hug your girlfriend and soak in the hot spring when you have time?"
"Then wouldn't it be solved by becoming one of those three people?"
"That's right~"
"And you don't have a girlfriend either." Casey said in a flat tone.
When Xiu heard what Casey said, he felt like crying and laughing, and he said casually: "I'm only sixteen, I'm underage, why do these fancy things?"
"Let's go and see other places." Xiu didn't mean to join in the fun. If it was the eggs of the three great families, he would still be a little interested, but if it was just money, there was no need.
After leaving there, Xiu continued to wander around the town, raising his hand from time to time to take some photos to record his journey.
The town was not big, and Xiu walked around quickly. But it was still early, so of course he couldn't go back to the hotel to take a bath.
Thinking of the activities just now, Xiu had the idea of taking this opportunity to go sightseeing around the island.
He did it right away, and Xiu quickly spent money to rent a bicycle and started working.
It's really nice to ride a bicycle slowly around the island.
There were no signs of human activities in the east and north, it was completely forest, and there were elves in it, but they didn't go up to wander around.
Looking out, you can see some elves like long-winged gulls flying around, and waves rising from the water from time to time, and elves jumping out from among them... Of course, most of them are Magikarp.
Magikarp is a small elf that is too strong. It makes no difference whether it is fresh water or sea water.
