Chapter 502: Plot of Beach
Glasses Guy wasn't new to this mission; last time, by sheer accident, he and others triggered the "Plot of Beach" story mission.
But it ended in disaster, with their whole team disintegrating.
However, after returning, he thought it over carefully and realized there were still loopholes to exploit in the mission.
Using the intelligence from his first failed attempt, he planned a targeted strategy, hoping it might lead to success.
Thus, after using "Accompany" to arrive at the coastal city of Soufrabi, he finally revealed all the information he knew.
To trigger the "Plot of Beach" and the "Razor's Pirates" storyline, more than 15 people needed to use "Accompany" to come to this city.
But there were other things; the real challenge was the upcoming one-on-one sports competitions against Razor and other pirates.
There would be boxing, bowling, basketball, football, and more...
Glasses Guy's team had lasted until the tenth match last time, which meant he knew the rules of ten different sports competitions!
When Glasses Guy revealed this valuable information, everyone was excited.
Still, someone raised the question everyone else had been deliberately ignoring.
"If we succeed, who gets the 'Plot of Beach'? Surely we aren't all just going to let one person have it?"
Glasses Guy, probably anticipating this question, confidently said, "The 'Plot of Beach' can be replicated three times using 'Copy,' which means we can ultimately obtain three copies of the 'Plot of Beach.'"
"That's only three copies, not enough to go around!"
"Don't rush me; let me finish. Of all the people who enter this game, less than 30 are here to complete it. That means most of us here are indifferent about this card; we just don't want to feel cheated."
"So I have a proposal. After we get this card, those who choose to take it should offer sufficient compensation to the others, which could be money or other cards everyone needs. What do you think about this proposal?"
Everyone's gaze flickered, each person calculating their advantage, but outwardly, no one objected.
Glasses Guy, foreseeing this reaction, immediately pushed up his glasses and said, "So let's show hands now. Who doesn't want to give up this card?"
"Firstly, as the initiator of this mission and the one who shared so much information, I definitely won't give up this opportunity."
Glasses Guy was the first to raise his hand.
Then the others looked at each other, and three more hands went up.
Haru and Biscuit just watched the drama unfold, neither raising their hands nor voicing opinions.
Finally, after some negotiation, one of the women reluctantly gave up.
"Hey, you don't want this card? Then why did you ask me to come?" Biscuit, drawn in by his irresistibly handsome face, initiated the conversation.
Haru smiled broadly, "They don't know what they're going to face next, so deciding ownership now is meaningless."
Biscuit glanced at him, surprised, unsure what else he knew.
Then, led by Glasses Guy, the group confidently walked into a tavern.
Inside, several pirates dressed up were drinking, akin to a preliminary mission before the actual one starts, implying that they shouldn't rush into certain doom if they couldn't handle even this tiny challenge.
"The one who leaves this ring of fire is the loser. Who's going first?"
A two-meter-tall, hefty man looked disdainfully at the group.
"I'll go!"
A stout man gathered his Nen and charged forward.
Haru remained indifferent, while Biscuit instinctively smirked; this level of "Constriction" was just serving themselves on a platter!
Just as expected!
With a loud thud, the burly man crashed right into his opponent's arms, who then gleefully executed a crushing bear hug, nearly snapping his bones.
"I give up, I give up!" the burly man screamed hoarsely, but this only seemed to excite his opponent more, who lifted him over the fire pit, roasting him like a 'leg of lamb.'
The pitiful screams echoed out, turning the faces of many onlookers ashen, sweat pouring down their faces.
Before distributing the benefits, everyone seemed proactive and wise, but they all backed down when showing real effort.
Fortunately, at this moment, Glasses Guy stepped in!
He leaped into the fire ring, and with a fierce clap of his hands on the ground, a tornado erupted, flinging both the hefty man and the burly man out of the arena.
Glasses Guy chose this moment to intervene partly to test the mettle of the others and partly to establish his authority.
And indeed, he achieved his objective.
After this event, many understood their place, content with the thought of getting compensation afterward.
If these were the people to bring about a miracle, that would be something!
But that was none of Haru's concerns; he only needed these people to help trigger the mission, and he could handle the rest with Biscuit.
"Let's go, and I'll take you to meet the boss."
Visibly displeased, defeated, hefty man led the group to another location.
Pushing open the door, inside was a man who looked like a fitness coach, surrounded by a group of pirates playing basketball...
They were all death row inmates, so that one couldn't expect much more.
But as soon as they entered, Haru's aura immediately locked onto the squinty-eyed fitness coach.
This guy was intense but was weaker than him.
After making this judgment, Haru reverted to his calm demeanor.
However, Razor's expression hardened!
It seemed he hadn't expected this dangerous man to show up here.
But for now, he was just a storyline NPC, and since the other party hadn't broken any rules, no one was eager to escalate the conflict.
After casually introducing himself and explaining the game rules, Razor split his attention, half on the others and half entirely on Haru.
Besides, he was curious to gauge how strong this man who had frightened Ikalgo into submission was.
As he pondered this, the first boxing match began.
"The opponent's ability allows him to phase parts of his body through space to attack, so the best strategy is to close the distance right at the start and keep pressuring him," Haru advised.
"Don't worry, now that I know what his ability is, there's no way I'll lose," confidently declared a blond man, donning his boxing gloves.
