What a big gesture.

Compared to yesterday's marathon, I wonder how much today's event cost.

In any case, the advertising revenue from television broadcasts alone will definitely not be enough to recoup the costs.

Chapter 357 A Sense of Crisis Arises

The moment the label on the teacup base was peeled off, another label with a QR code was revealed underneath.

Upon seeing this, Doma Umaru couldn't help but laugh:

"Hehe... This feeling of successfully solving a puzzle is really great, let's scan it quickly."

"of course."

Karasuma Chitose took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and the next moment, the phone redirected to a new website containing a small portion of an image.

"What's going on?"

“It’s a jigsaw puzzle, it’s obvious.” Doma Umaru pondered, “Judging from the size, scanning nine more codes should be enough to complete a picture.”

"I understand!"

Hilfin's eyes lit up, and she smiled:

"In other words, if a person scans ten codes, they can get a map, and by following the map, they can find a treasure."

"5 people, that's 50 QR codes."

"No wonder there are so many labels in the store. If you remove those fake labels that are just there to make up the numbers, it won't be an easy task. No wonder the event lasts all day."

"That should be it." Doma Umaru nodded slightly.

"This workload is just too much! We also have to consider issues like QR code duplication and security," Yuan Shengbaihua exclaimed. "Your president is really going all out. Organizing an event like this would definitely require a huge amount of money and a huge number of people."

"Yes."

Doma Umaru smiled as well, then said:

"However, this is not a problem for us to consider."

"Let's finish our meal quickly and then go treasure hunting together. There are 50 tags, and we have to avoid duplicates. It won't be easy."

“Indeed.” Karasuma Chitose lowered his voice and, with a sly grin, said as the group approached, “I suggest we rest until 3 p.m. before proceeding. We’ll split up and search, taking photos but not scanning the codes. We’ll find a few hundred, then scan them all at once. This way, we can eliminate a lot of competitors.”

"If only a few of us make it through in the end, the scene would be too beautiful to even imagine."

"No way." Doma Umaru refused decisively. "If only a few of us pass, Musashino will definitely be criticized, and this event will be accused of being rigged and rigged."

"Why worry so much? It's not like we own the company."

"stare..."

"Sorry, forget it."

......

"Treasure! Treasure!!"

Watching the chaotic Ushio-maru darting around, Aki Tomoya rested his chin on his hand, his thoughts drifting further and further away.

What exactly is this treasure?

I've been searching all day without any leads. It's already 2 PM, and if I keep wandering around like this, I feel like I'm going to be doomed.

"I thought of it!"

Suddenly, Shiokamaru rushed over.

"What?" Aki Tomoya asked instinctively.

"These things with Musashino's markings along the way must be treasures! Let's each take one back to report."

"Is it really that simple? These should just be the boundaries drawn by Musashino, with labels proving that this area is still within the designated activity zone."

"Exactly! How could it be that simple? There was a label at the top of that tree. You can't just climb to the top, break off a branch, and go back to report, can you?"

"That's right. Compared to branches, I think it's better to hire a tractor to carry the whole tree back."

Rumble...

During our conversation, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.

Turning my head, I saw a young girl with blonde pigtails, followed by a man who looked like a butler, directing a crane to load a utility pole into a truck.

"What are you doing?"

Aki Tomoya stared in disbelief at everything before him, his mind filled with astonishment.

Items with labels are definitely not the treasures specified in the event; they are probably just used to divert attention.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes to see that all the participants tacitly refrained from taking anything and trying it out rashly.

Surprisingly, someone actually used this method?

Moreover, it's afternoon now, but the competition started this morning.

It seems that after searching in vain, she decided to try taking something directly.

"Is this how rich people do things? But she's wearing a high school uniform, isn't she? So rich people also have the problem of not growing tall."

Hearing Shiokamaru's mutterings, Aki Tomoya almost burst out laughing.

That's true; everyone is equal when it comes to height.

Thinking of this, he went up to strike up a conversation.

"Hello, I don't think items with tags are necessarily treasures. There are many people discussing this online, and everyone thinks the same way."

"Ulusai! Of course I know this isn't treasure. I just wanted to see if the treasure might be buried under the telephone pole."

"...No matter what, it's impossible to dig up a utility pole to bury treasure, right? Besides, the soil underneath hasn't been disturbed."

"Then tell me, what else could this treasure be but these? Could it be the label itself?"

As she spoke, the blonde girl casually tore off a label from a wall on the street.

The next moment, another label appeared below the first one.

"Why!??"

At that moment, the group exclaimed in surprise.

"You're not allowed to move. I found this. I'll scan the code."

"Please." Aki Tomoya took a step back, pulling several teammates with him.

Seeing that the other party had successfully scanned the QR code with their phone, I asked curiously:

"What's the result?"

"Half a map."

"I get it! Below the tag, or rather, below some tags, there's another tag. Scanning the code will give you a partial map. Scan several maps to complete the map before you can start the real treasure hunt."

The labels are too thin, and when two are pasted together, they are very deceptive; most people would not even notice that they are actually two separate labels.

"What are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and find the double-layered tags!" Chaohu Maru said hastily.

"Hmph! This street is mine, you can look elsewhere." The blonde twin-tailed girl suddenly spoke up.

"Huh...? You're being too domineering! This street is so big, let's all look together."

"Himekami!"

Seeing the butler behind the other party who looked like he was a master fighter, Aki Tomoya instinctively pulled the unwilling Ushiohimaru back.

"Let's look elsewhere."

“Other places might already be taken, this place has the most tags, and she can’t take them all by herself.”

"Don't worry, I know a good place where there should still be a lot of labels."

"Okay. Phew... I must win the championship, then become an animated character, and then, grow taller!"

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, the blonde twin-tailed girl behind them suddenly spoke:

"What's your name?"

"Tide Fire Pill".

"What did you just say? Say it again."

"I want to win the championship!"

"The last sentence."

I want to grow taller!

"You can search on this street too, I give you permission."

"Thank you so much!" Shiokamaru looked at the other person with instant excitement.

Judging from their height, the other person also has the same dream as me.

"let's work hard together!"

"Don't get me wrong, my dream isn't to grow taller. Humph... I just want to grow up sooner. Rather, I'm different from you; in a year or two, I'll definitely grow taller."

"I used to think the same way. But my height hasn't changed since I graduated from elementary school. So, let's cheer each other on for our shared dream."

"Uh..."

Watching Shiokamaru's departing figure, the girl stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time, a sense of crisis rising within her.

Over the past six months, I don't think I've grown much at all.

Chapter 358 Losing Without Knowing Why

In the evening, many people are watching television.

Inside the screen, the host is reading out the votes. Each time a name and its corresponding score are read out, the score of the different groups on the screen behind them increases by one.
