The guests who are qualified to ride will arrive at the sea port built by the ninjas of Sand Village via a transfer ship. They will begin their underwater journey in this "port" built entirely by ninja workers.
This isolated "port" also brings many surprises to the guests.
First of all, because it is purely man-made, its appearance is completely different from the islands people know.
The part exposed above the sea looks like a large open shell.
People get off the boat at the point where the shell opens and go to the harbor. They take a short rest in the middle 'pearl' and after listening to the riding instructions for the 'Ocean Star', they can go down the stairs at the point where the shells are connected to ride the Ocean Star.
"Welcome to Pearl Bay, all distinguished guests."
The tour guide introduced this artificial port to the guests with a smile.
"This is a port built by the Ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village, specifically for the 'Ocean Star' to sail. Not only is it firmly rooted to the seabed, but the 'clamshell' above is equipped with a lifting device. Even in the event of a storm, it can still ensure the safety of all guests."
"Whether it's scorching sun or rough seas, you can enjoy the fun of sightseeing at Ocean Star."
Following the guide's words, the 'clamshell' directly above also moved a few times out of courtesy.
“Wow.”
The huge shadow covering us not only brings oppression, but also makes people feel shocked and safe. With such a "cover", we really don't have to worry about the weather changes at sea.
Not to mention ordinary winds and waves, even if there is a tornado or something, there is no need to worry.
Someone came up with an idea on the spot.
If it works so well at sea, it should be equally safe on land.
The Pearl in the middle of Pearl Bay, or the rest area, is a circular building that looks like a pearl in a pearl oyster from a distance.
Entering inside, there is a cream-colored water bar.
Enjoy a light meal or a drink.
You can also get together with friends and chat.
If you don't want to socialize, there is also a separate rest area - the adjustable seats here have been further modified. In addition to the same cream color as Beijing, eye masks and blankets are also provided.
Whether you want to take a nap or simply don't want to communicate with others, this place can meet your needs.
These features may not be surprising.
But considering that this is on a man-made island...then the meaning and the feeling are completely different.
Listen to the sound of the waves and the occasional seabirds flying by, and savor the delicious food on the cups and plates.
Every breath you take is the most primitive breath of nature.
After a brief rest and confirmation, it was soon time for the Ocean Star to set off.
Led by the staff, people walked down the rock passage. Although they could not see the outside because of the stone walls, they knew they were already below the sea surface from the distance they walked down. The feeling of walking under the endless sea made people unconsciously excited.
Especially for people who come from inland areas - this is under the sea.
Beneath the mysterious ocean.
With this feeling, people boarded the Ocean Star in order.
"Welcome to Ocean Star 1, my dear guests. I am the tour guide for this trip."
A beautiful Water Country ninja stood in the aisle in front of Ocean Star.
"I have a lot to say, but for now, please enjoy the beautiful ocean world."
No matter how much you say, it is better than seeing it with your own eyes.
No one can resist the charm of the sea!
As she spoke, the light inside the Ocean Star gradually dimmed.
Then, the lights outside the ship came on, illuminating the dark blue.
"Wow!"
The wall coverings are lifted, revealing the huge glass windows and the scenery outside.
People can no longer move their eyes.
My whole attention is drawn to this world surrounded by the sea.
——Is this under the sea?
The whole world seemed to be dyed blue.
The marine creatures that swim by from time to time wantonly show off their diverse shapes to these land creatures.
"What's that long thing? Is it a fish too?"
"Why are there such flat creatures? Look! There's something glowing over there."
"I know! That's called jellyfish!"
"Oh my god, that's a scallop! Scallops can actually move!"
A man pointed at a scallop that was moving rapidly in the sea with its shell opening and closing in two halves and screamed.
Given their wealth, it is certainly not the case that they have never eaten scallops.
But in their perception, scallops should be a kind of shell lying on reefs or
There is no motionless life on the seabed, but I didn't expect that this thing can not only "run" on the seabed, but also run very fast.
It completely subverts my cognition.
"Where is it?"
"Really? Scallops can actually fly in the sea!"
This unimaginable scenery immediately sparked heated discussions among people.
People left their seats one after another to explore this 'wonder'.
"What is that?"
"feather?"
"How can there be feathers in the sea?"
In the distance, a feather-like thing was swaying in the sea, moving its body like a wave.
"That's a type of sea fern, also called a feather star."
The commentator interrupted at the right time and gave people scientific knowledge.
With the narrator's simple and easy-to-understand explanation, people expressed that they had learned something new.
Unlike the dark and silent underwater world in people’s imagination, people also see colorful and diverse life here.
The ocean is more vibrant and colorful than people imagine.
Compared with these unimaginable wonders and knowledge, the luxurious interior decoration and high-quality food and wine are secondary.
When it was time for dinner, people still lingered by the windows and were reluctant to leave.
It was not until the tour guide pointed out that the restaurant area also had large glass windows for people to enjoy the beautiful scenery that people finally decided to move.
The meals on the Ocean Star naturally include all kinds of fresh seafood that you have seen and never seen before.
The drinks are not common alcoholic beverages, but fresh coconut juice and coconut soda.
No matter how the drink tastes, the novel container alone is enough to give it a high score.
——With their status and wealth, what kind of delicious food and fine wine must they have enjoyed?
Is this what they are pursuing?
Of course not, I come here just for the novelty.
Therefore, when Yu Yue is drawing up a menu with others, her first consideration is not how expensive or precious it is.
But highlight the characteristics.
The same is true for dessert after the meal.
Coconut milk jelly, coconut desserts, and fruits that are unique to the Water Kingdom.
They are not necessarily the most delicious or the most palatable.
But they must be the freshest and most distinctive.
Naturally, all the guests enjoyed the dinner.
In fact, the ocean
There are also some small games prepared on the Star for people to pass the time.
After all, the fees have been charged so you naturally need to be fully prepared.
But obviously, people are more interested in the deep sea scenery than these familiar games.
Anyway, there are lights, so it doesn’t matter whether it is day or night in the sea.
Some people even didn't even return to their seats, but simply stayed at the viewing seat by the window, staring blankly at the dark but not lonely underwater world outside the window.
This feeling is really great.
It’s not like some of them haven’t ridden the Desert Star.
There are even many people who have their own Desert Star.
But under the sand, the feeling is completely different from the seabed.
There is silence under the desert, as if you are the only one left in the world.
In addition to being quiet, the ocean is also home to countless vibrant and beautiful lives.
In addition to feeling the peace of mind, there are countless living beings accompanying you.
In this situation, there is not even enough time to comprehend life and cleanse the soul, so how can there be time to play those vulgar and boring "little games"?
As for chatting with other people...
Hey, isn’t it annoying enough to socialize with these people?
Why do we need to communicate now?
"Look! What is that!"
"Oh my god..."
Just when the people who did not go to rest were immersed in their own world, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance of the lights.
The shadow was so huge that one couldn't even see the end at a glance.
Especially the head and tail, which seem to merge into the dark sea in the distance.
"Huge" and "unknown" are things that easily cause people to feel fear. When these two are combined, it makes people's hair stand on end.
"Is it a monster?!"
"There's a monster!?"
The guests' panic naturally attracted the tour guide's attention - these were all important guests and financial sponsors, and they could not be allowed to get into any harm even if they died.
The commentator rushed over sweating, but when he saw the 'black shadow', he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Please don't be nervous, my dear guests. This is not some deep-sea monster, but an ordinary marine creature."
?
Look at this big shadow, you call this 'ordinary marine life'?
Do you have any misunderstanding about "normal"?
This must be the one that the ninjas often talk about...
What tailed beast?
"While its size is unusual, whales are very common creatures in the ocean."
"The largest ones are baleen whales, and they don't hunt like sharks do, but rather feed on small crustaceans - creatures like krill ."
“And they have a very gentle disposition.”
As the guide spoke, the huge black shadow gradually revealed its "true form" - it really was a body so huge that no words could be used to describe it, appearing in people's field of vision.
It was swimming far away in the sea, but because of its huge size, people mistook it for a motionless black shadow.
It's scary, but also very shocking.
I was shocked that there was such a huge and terrifying life in this world.
——In short, thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence.
'I want it'.
I have already bought the Desert Star, so how can I leave out the Ocean Star?
It would be too troublesome to queue up to buy tickets every time for such an interesting thing as underwater roaming.
Of course you own it and can go in the water whenever you want!
So, the Mist Village ninjas who were responsible for the reception in the Land of Water discovered something strange.
The first thing these nobles and wealthy people who came out of the Ocean Star did after they came up was to ask questions:
"Where can I buy this ocean star?"
The ninja was at a loss: "Guest, I am only responsible for receiving you... and the price of the Ocean Star, which is currently the only means of transportation that can dive underwater, as for the price..."
“Price is not an issue.”
Before the ninja could finish his words, someone simply interrupted him.
"I'm fine with the full deposit, just give me the Ocean Star!"
"Are you in charge of registration? I can pay now."
"What? You can register? Then put mine first, I'll give you 10% more!"
"Bah, you want to get ahead with just 10%? I'll give you 20%!"
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: ???
I’ve seen people spending money, but I’ve never seen people rushing to give money, right?
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting more tense, the ninja quickly spoke up:
"No, no, no, for the Ocean Star, there are people in charge of registration... I am only responsible for leading you to your accommodation. Please follow me, dear guests."
...Tsk.
After hearing what the ninja said, the attendants of the distinguished guests who were originally competing to bid quickly became indifferent.
A circle of vacuum area immediately appeared around the ninjas that were crowded just now.
Ninja: ...This is too realistic.
In addition to the order commotion caused by the Ocean Star, the people of the Hidden Mist Village even sent extra staff to maintain order.
Various other entertainment and leisure projects also welcomed a peak in visitor flow.
If you like to be active, you can go to the sea. Whether it is surfing and diving at the beach or high-altitude water slides, it can satisfy people's desire to move.
If you like quietness, you can also relax at the beach or experience the special projects (special features of the Yuyue store version).
In the Sand Village, you can pan for gold and draw sand paintings. In the Mist Village, you can also make pearl oysters, shell paintings, and do coconut shell DIY.
Although not as valuable as sand, leaves and shells are almost inexhaustible materials for the people of the Hidden Mist Village.
In the past, they never thought that these ubiquitous gadgets could actually bring them profits.
I never expected that the income would be so high.
Actually, it’s not surprising.
The activities at sea are certainly interesting, but because most of them require physical strength and courage, the participants are mainly young men and women.
The guests who come to the Land of Water, or more precisely, to the Sea Park and to watch the Chunin Exams, do include people of all ages.
For the elderly and children, these are of course the projects that are not difficult and do not require any risks, which are more attractive.
What's more, in addition to having fun yourself, these projects can also create parent-child time.
The finished products can also be taken back as gifts or decorations.
It's like killing a bird with one stone.
The newest of these is also the most visible.
Of course, it is the new "Photo Studio".
There are not only hundreds of costumes here, but also highly skilled makeup artists and cameramen.
The billboard at the door also reads: 'Record every moment of happiness'
——Who can withstand this?
Souvenirs and the like can certainly prove that you have been there.
But how can this compare to a photo?
A photo of myself with the sea and ships in the background.
It could even be a place like a seaside cliff.
When you go back and brag to others, you don’t have to rack your brains to think of words.
Only
Just put the photos in front of people and that's it.
It feels so good no matter how you think about it!
If not now, when?
As a result, this newly opened photo studio was almost immediately packed with people.
The ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village were also "in pain and joy" as the tourists flocked in.
Happy because it really makes money.
The Chunin Exams haven't even started yet, but they're already making money.
I can even say that I have never felt that making money is so easy in my life.
As for the 'pain', that's naturally because of being tired.
It is true that you make money, but it is also really tiring.
Of course, the ninja would not give away the money they had earned. In addition, the Hidden Mist Village wanted to take this opportunity to show the world a new side of itself, so most of the work naturally fell on the shoulders of the villagers.
The result was that the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village began working high-intensity shifts again.
The minimum time is eight hours and there is no upper limit.
But this time, people didn't dare to complain.
Because they found someone who was really hardworking and scary.
——That is 'Kakuzu-sama' of Ugetsu Shoten.
How terrifying is this person?
He not only does the work at Yuyue Store but also gets dividends for himself.
He even went out of his way to 'steal work' from others.
For example, the star of the sea.
The production of Ocean Star is actually ongoing.
It’s just that there wasn’t such an urgent need and not so many orders before.
But now it’s different. The investors’ orders for Ocean Star have been scheduled for several months in the future.
It would be impossible for Scorpion and the employees of the Ugetsu Store to handle the task alone, so they recruited a group of employees from the Hidden Mist Village to make various parts.
After all, they are just small parts. It is almost a fantasy to want to reverse the entire process without drawings.
So whether it is Yuyue Store or Scorpion, they are all very generous in giving.
He also said that not only the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, but anyone else would also be accepted as long as they could produce parts that met the specifications.
...So Kakuzu went out at night and recruited a group of criminals to do the work.
Because they are controlled by the seal, they can only work in a fixed place, working day and night to produce the various necessary parts.
People certainly don't want to be offended by these criminals or
It's a waste of sympathy for the traitorous ninja, but I am amazed by Kakuzu's actions.
But Kakuzu didn't know that this was what he was doing.
In addition to finding free jobs to earn money for himself, he also took on many other jobs on his own initiative.
From procurement and transportation to security and project construction.
He can be seen everywhere.
Regardless of day or night, regardless of early morning or evening - there was even a rumor among the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village that 'Kakuzu-sama is not a living person but a puppet.'
Otherwise, how could someone work around the clock and still be energetic?
However, what really made the Hidden Mist Village ninjas afraid to even open their mouths to complain was Kakuzu's words.
"The money has been delivered to you, but you are still not active. What else can you do?"
"You complain about being tired and suffering when you get the money you deserve to be poor."
It's just, very heartbreaking.
It makes people think.
Of course, it’s not that no one has tried to file a complaint.
But the words are on the tip of my tongue but I don't know how to start.
How to say it?
Could you please ask Miss Ugetsu to ask Lord Kakuzu to restrain his magical powers?
Or should we go and complain that Kakuzu-sama is not doing his job properly?
It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.
As for telling your boss?
Then there's no hope.
It's a good thing if you don't get scolded and told "look at others and then look at yourself".
...No, I'm going to cry if I say any more.
Therefore, when the Chunin Exams were finally about to begin, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village were more excited than anyone else.
The look he gave to the ninjas from other ninja villages was also particularly enthusiastic.
That fiery and focused look even made the ninjas from other villages who came to take part in the Chunin Exam feel terrified.
What's going on with these ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village?
They are not planning to secretly kill us before the exam.
Nervous +1, Alert +1.
Even some ninja village leader ninjas specifically warned their team members.
"I don't know what conspiracy the people of Kirigakure are up to. No matter where you go, don't be alone, and don't get close to the people of Kirigakure - no matter how friendly and welcoming they are."
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
It is the critical moment to take the exam, and we cannot reduce the number of players before the competition.
They would never have thought that the reason why the other party was so enthusiastic was because the Chunin Exams were about to begin and the 'King of Papers' would be laid off - at least he would no longer be in his current position to paper them.
In this way, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village can finally take a breath.
There is no need to complete 120 tasks every day when 100 tasks can actually be completed.
As for what the corners did...
Of course it’s live broadcast online.
'The Art of Mirage', a must-have live broadcast technique for large-scale events!
Although this task is still entrusted to Takigakure Village, it does not affect Kakuzu's chance to get a share of the profits.
The Takigakure Village failed to discover him in the past, but now that he is an official member of the Ugetsu Shop, he is naturally safer.
Not only that, Kakuzu also made additional improvements to the use of the Mirage Technique, making it have a wider angle and higher clarity.
He also generously gave guidance to several young people from Takigakure Village.
So that they can work better and longer.
In Kakuzu's words, "lest they become inefficient and work like wage thieves."
You know, what Kakuzu hates most is salary thieves.
Especially the salary thieves who reduce his efficiency and affect his ability to earn money.
However, his approach of "improving work efficiency" is seen as "selfless" by the people of the Hidden Mist Village.
Although various conventional ninjutsu are no longer exclusive to a certain ninja village or family, improved ninjutsu or secret techniques are still very private and need to be kept confidential.
There are people who would go to great lengths to do this and even kill people.
It is really rare to find someone like this Lord Jiao who gives advice openly and without reservation...
No, it’s better to say don’t even think about it.
So this Lord "Jiao" is actually the reincarnation of Bodhisattva.
The people of Takigakure Village are so touching.
Not only did they swear to never tell anyone what they learned from Kakuzu, they also went to find Miss Ugetsu to explain this touching 'good deed'.
Lord Jiao is so silent and low-key, he will definitely not take the initiative to tell others about the good things he has done.
But they, the beneficiaries, cannot let Lord Jiao’s achievements be forgotten silently.
Say it, you must say it.
Not only should I tell him, I should also tell the owner of Ugetsu Shoten, so that he would know that I have such a good person who touched the Takigakure Village.
staff.
After hearing the words of gratitude from the Takigakure ninja, Ugetsuki: "..."
If she said at this time, "Actually, Kakuzu just thinks that your inefficiency affects him," wouldn't it be a bit discouraging...
However, the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village took Ugetsu's hesitation as disbelief.
So they hurriedly said:
"It's true, Miss Ugetsu, Lord Jiao really told us everything - this way our efficiency can be increased by at least 20%, and our range can be expanded, at least... at least 10%!"
Fortunately, Yu Yue came over with great wind and waves, so he couldn't help but complain: "Kakuzu said it was a 10% increase, but here you only have 10% and 20%?"
If Jiao knew about this, he would probably want to kill you and replace you with his shadow clone.
But no matter what Ze Momo said, the other person came specifically to tell her about the good things her employees had done, so Yu Yue couldn't really kill the topic.
She could only smile and say:
"I see. We will definitely show appreciation for such good employees."
——But it can’t express too much.
Otherwise, if Kakuzu discovered the new wealth code, life would be difficult for the other employees here.
Although Kakuzu is not considered a 'creative' ninja, as a ninja who has lived from the first generation to the present, his experience is definitely sufficient.
With such abundant experience, it is only a matter of time to see the problems or flaws of others.
By then, he might end up having to keep an eye on other people's work all day, waiting to improve the process and use it to pay back the money.
In fact, improving process technology itself is a good thing.
But if the person who did it was Kakuzu.
Then it's hard to predict what he will do.
——After all, based on Yu Yue’s understanding of him, it’s not surprising that he does anything for the money.
Even Ugetsu believed that if there was accurate information that there was a treasure on the moon, Kakuzu would even be able to find a way to go to the moon.
It's better to leave some room for others.
While Ugetsu was struggling over how to reward Kakuzu, the Ugetsu Shoten Cup: Kirigakure Chunin Exam finally kicked off. !
