C731 A Steel Plate Blessed by the Sea God!
Looking at Chai Murong's dejected face, Tian Ke pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Ah, right. Murong, just now when I went to the main hall to order food, I heard from the hotel staff that this evening, the Singapore Chamber of Commerce will hold a night dragon boat competition in St John Island. I heard that as long as you are a Chinese, you can participate in this dragon boat competition. Why don't we go and take a look? "
After a silent sigh, Chai Murong crossed her arms and took two steps forward. She said with waning interest, "Forget it. It is just a Dragon Boat Competition. It is not interesting."
"Anyway, we have nothing to do in the hotel. We might as well go there and take a look. If we are interested, we can also participate in the competition."
"Okay, okay. Then let's go and take a look." Seeing that Tian Ke really wanted to go, Chai Murong could not bear to spoil her mood, so she snuffed out the cigarette and yawned again.
The poor child's poor woman, a woman who had lost the motivation to work and love. Even if she was the noble First Miss of Chai family, she would feel bored of this beautiful world. Looking at the lazy Chai Murong, Tian Ke's eyes showed pity.
...
St John Island was also known as the Chess Camphor Mountain. It was a vacation island located in the outer seas of the southern part of Singapore. The island's area was about 40.5 hectares.
In 1903, the British Colony government set up a quarantine station. Originally, it only stipulated that ships from the southern part of China had to be inspected on this island if they discovered that there were people suffering from infectious diseases on board.
Later on, it was changed to those who sat in the control cabin (with the lowest ticket) who had to go to the island for quarantine and 'disinfection'.
They also stipulated that all men and women had to be stripped naked for inspection. At that time, there was also a case of women from China who were humiliated and committed suicide in the sea.
When the news reached Singapore Island, the Hua Society was in an uproar. The Chief Chamber of Commerce of China submitted a letter of willingness to the Chief Inspector, and the British colonization authorities had no choice but to cancel the insulting measures of the quarantine station.
The quarantine station only stopped using in the 60s of the last century.
In order to not forget the humiliating history of the early Han people coming from the south, the Chamber of Commerce held a night dragon boat competition today to celebrate the success of the resistance against the British colonists.
Therefore, every year today, tens of thousands of tourists would gather on the beach of St John Island.
Seventy to eighty percent of them were yellow skinned and black eyed people.
At half past five in the evening, Mr. Chu Yang, who also had yellow skin and black eyes, appeared on the beach of St John Island. Koo Mingchuang, who was wearing a pair of small sunglasses and a suit of leather shoes, appeared on the beach.
He weighed the secret box in his hand that was covered with a layer of black cloth. Koo Mingchuang vigilantly scanned the crowd around him. After he did not see anyone carrying the same secret box, he took a step forward and stood side by side with Chu Yang. "There are so many people here today, and most of them are yellow skinned people."
He pointed to a sign by the beach and said, "I heard that there is a Dragon Boat Competition tonight. It seems that the Fragrant Pink Skeleton is using today's number of people to cover up their tracks. Let's go and take a look at that sign. I think she will be able to see us very soon. "
The two of them walked to the newly added signboard and raised their heads to look.
The sign detailed the origin of the Dragon Boat Competition at night. Finally, it also wrote: Welcome to the Dragon Boat Competition from all over the world (foreigners can also participate) to commemorate the victory of that year.
This competition did not pay attention to the results but rather the format. Participants had to hand over a hundred US dollars to the organizers to find their respective Dragon Boats based on their votes.
After the Dragon Boat Competition began, they would set off from St John Island. The first person to arrive at Adorable Sprout Island would be the semi-champion of 120,000 USD. (The one-way journey is about 12 nautical miles.)
The first person to return from Adorable Sprout Island would receive a total prize of $36,000. There were twelve contestants on each dragon boat (Small Dragon Boat.) There were 30 contestants on the large dragon boat, and there were six and a half professional contestants...
The two of them looked at it for a long time until their necks were sore. Only then did they finish reading the long and wide announcement.
"Hehe." Rubbing his sore neck, Koo Mingchuang looked left and right and said with a smile, "Look at the flowery words on it. In the next year, no matter what I say, I have to bring Yuru here to spend 100 USD. Whether I can get results or not is not important. The key is participation."
Chu Yang nodded and was about to say something when he saw someone walking over from the distant seaside from the corner of his eye. So he whispered, "Laoba, that Lih Shuzhen is here again. You don't need to look back. She is two o'clock behind you."
Koo Mingchuang shrugged. "It seems that she is quite good at tracking people. She appeared as soon as we arrived."
"To become a qualified pirate, you must at least have a sense of direction in the vast sea. Currently, most of the tracking experts in the world came from those who lived on the ocean. However, I'm very puzzled. Since she has this kind of special body fragrance that appears when she runs away and sweat, Why hasn't she been followed and caught?"
Koo Mingchuang smiled very wretchedly and replied in a low voice, "Perhaps no one is willing to do so? After all, a woman who can smell the scent of sweat can be considered the best. "
"En, it seems that those people have the same moral character as you."
Chu Yang lit a cigarette and took off the sunglasses on his face. He faced Lih Shuzhen, who was five meters away from him, and smiled. "Miss Li, you are dressed like this. Don't tell me you want to participate in the Dragon Boat Competition too? Hehe, if it wasn't for the auction, we brothers would have to participate in tonight's competition no matter what. Feel it! Just for a moment! The unity of the foreigners"
Lih Shuzhen had changed into a bright yellow sportswear today. A bright red belt was tied around her waist, making her waist even slimmer and her legs even more slender. And her protruding chest was obviously more conspicuous. If it wasn't for that face being too 'plain', She would definitely appear in the beautiful memories of all the tourists who came to St John Island to play.
Lih Shuzhen raised her hand and combed her maroon long hair. She glanced at the box in Koo Mingchuang's hand. Smiling, she took out two tickets from her pocket and handed them over with two round small steel plates. "Mr. Yun, Mr. Gu, our boss had already expected that you would be interested in the Dragon Boat Competition. That's why he asked me to give you two tickets to the competition. These two cards are the souvenirs for the Dragon Boat Competition. The organizers specifically ordered them from B Country. They can be considered very exquisite collections."
Chu Yang took the tickets and handed them to Koo Mingchuang. He weighed the two small steel plates and said with a smile, "Haha, a souvenir doesn't need such a thick steel plate."
If this man did not look at people with that kind of look, he was actually quite approachable. Lih Shuzhen pursed her lips and smiled. "This steel plate was blessed by the sea god. It can make the owner safe on the sea. Oh, right, all contestants must wear it during the competition."
"It would be even better if this thing was replaced with gold. It can also be considered a protective talisman. It's just that it's a bit too heavy. " Koo Mingchuang took one side of it and hung it around his neck, swinging it back and forth. He said to Chu Yang, "The number of our dragon boat is 32, and the positions of the 7th and the 8th lava-hands are."
Chu Yang nodded and casually put the steel plate into his pocket.
"The auction tonight will be held in Adorable Sprout Island, six nautical miles away from here. If you are lucky, sir. Maybe we can win the semi-final." Lih Shuzhen put her hands in her pockets and slightly twisted her waist. "As for me, I am a semi-professional contestant in the Dragon Boat Competition. We are on the same Dragon Boat and we are also the contacts of the two gentlemen in this auction. "
Looking at Lih Shuzhen's tall and straight chest, Koo Mingchuang licked his lips and laughed. "Being able to be in the same boat as Miss Li, we will definitely win the semi-finals. However, what I want to know is, whether we win the bid or not, it doesn't matter. Then what should we do when we come back?"
"That's your problem, it has nothing to do with us."
Koo Mingchuang sighed and said, "Sigh, you speak so heartlessly."
"Also, all the bidders participating in the auction tonight are not allowed to bring their weapons into the venue. All of you better act according to the rules that we have set. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the auction venue. Then all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Where's the phone?" Koo Mingchuang asked, "Are mobile phones not allowed to be carried?"
"Of course you can bring mobile phones," Lih Shuzhen replied. "If you don't bring mobile phones, how can you contact the decision-makers in your country about the price?"
In fact, we don't have anyone to contact because I'm not interested in that bullshit HZY. Koo Mingchuang smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the people of M Country will lock onto the auction venue according to the GPS on the phone and then attack you?"
"Hehe," Lih Shuzhen sneered and said, "Of course they will lock onto our position, but they do not dare to act recklessly. Because that will only result in the entire auction venue exploding, and our people will naturally retreat from the already prepared water route."
Chu Yang nodded. " Oh, I understand. You have set up bombs at the auction site. If there is any disturbance, you will blow up the scene. It seems that you have made a profit this time."
"Haha, of course. Otherwise, why would our boss gather all of you here? Alright, good luck to the two gentlemen. See you later." Lih Shuzhen smiled and then turned around to leave.
Koo Mingchuang turned his head and looked at Lih Shuzhen who was walking towards the beach. He said lightly, "You are not allowed to bring weapons... If that was the case, then he would not be able to take the guns in. But I don't believe that the person who enters does not carry cold weapons. Looks like tonight will be a cruel melee battle. Hmm, this is also good. We don't want the bullets to randomly fly and injure our own people."
Looking at the sea that was flashing with golden light under the sunset glow, Chu Yang pondered for a moment before saying," Laoba, we'd better go change our clothes so that we can swim back after the auction ends. Well, twelve nautical miles of water, we must struggle for a long time. "
"Okay, I think so too." Koo Mingchuang snapped his fingers and left the billboard with Chu Yang.
Not long after Chu Yang and Koo Mingchuang left the billboard, a man and two women walked over.
The girl with a lazy body was Chai Murong, who was encouraged by Tian Ke to participate in the Dragon Boat Competition.
Tian Ke and Ling Hsing followed behind her.
"Murong, the Dragon Boat Competition will start in an hour and a half. Are you interested in participating in the competition?"
Tian Ke looked at the temporary meeting place of the Dragon Boat Competition not far ahead. He turned to Chai Murong, who looked a little better, and said, "I think it's better to take part in this kind of general competition to relax. Look, there are still teenagers registering for the competition. "
