In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

In particular, Class B and Class C of the first year, which are the classes where Hatano and Takahashi Osamu are, each have at least thirty participants.

Haha, these two are up to no good.

The students in Class D of the three grades naturally had the fewest points, because they simply didn't have enough.

Especially for Class D of Year 1, although they used the ride-sharing cards and additional cards issued in this exam to redeem the contract at Longyuan, their class points were already low.

However, it wasn't that no one came; whether they participated or not was another matter, but listening to the rules of the game was free.

As soon as the clock struck ten, staff immediately closed the door to the large room.

"Good morning, everyone. Since it is already 10:00 AM, registration is now closed. We will only accept applications from students who are currently gathered here."

Although participation is voluntary, rules are rules.

If you can't even follow the most basic rules, then there's no point in participating. If it's ten o'clock, then it's ten o'clock.

After the door was closed, the noise in the room seemed to increase, but this immediately quieted down when the teacher on the board who was giving the explanation came on stage.

"Good morning, everyone. Since it is already 10:00 AM, registration is now closed. We will only accept applications from students who are currently gathered here."

"Before I begin, let me explain the reason for deciding to hold this treasure hunt. This treasure hunt was initiated by Nangumo, who is the student council president."

After enduring the rigorous exam on the deserted island, to strengthen our bonds, we should also engage in some enjoyable and relaxing activities. Nagumo, please come forward and give a speech.

After being called out, Nagumo stepped forward.

"The student council's usual practice is to enrich and enhance campus life, which is why this proposal was made."

Although the entire grade competes fiercely against each other during the deserted island exam, this treasure hunt game allows for teamwork across grade levels. Please make sure to take advantage of this and participate in the game.

After Nan Yun finished his speech, the microphone was returned to the teacher on the board.

"Student council members are responsible for operations and management, so they cannot participate in this treasure hunt. They have to sacrifice their holidays to complete their tasks. Thank you all for your help."

Then, the student council members gathered around Nagumo, and the teacher on the stage began to explain the rules of the game.

"Now, let me explain the outline of the treasure hunt game. There are no complicated rules; it's very simple."

Then, the teacher on the board raised his right hand, holding a square piece of paper between his thumb and forefinger. The paper was about five centimeters on each side, and a QR code was printed on it.

"We have placed a total of one hundred stickers with this QR code printed on them throughout the ship. All you have to do is find these stickers and then use the 'O' key to scan the QR code."

Each QR code contains a corresponding reward, but these sticker QR codes can only be read through a special app. Once the app is successfully read, you can get the reward attached to the QR code.

However, each mobile phone can only scan the QR code once, and the results will be updated and the reward will be issued instantly the moment the website is accessed.

Of course, QR codes that have been used will also become invalid, even if read by other mobile phones, and no reward will be given.

Furthermore, any player who engages in unauthorized activities such as removing stickers or using pens or other props to prevent others from reading barcodes will be severely punished, even within the game. Please absolutely avoid such behavior.

These QR codes were hidden by school staff to prevent students from cheating on each other.

"The minimum number of personal points that can be obtained is 5,000. We have prepared fifty stickers for 5,000 points each, which is exactly half of the total number. The second highest number is for 10,000 points, with a total of thirty stickers."

As for the remaining twenty cards, ten are worth 50,000 points, five are worth 100,000 points, and three are worth 300,000 points. The remaining two are worth 500,000 points and 1,000,000 points respectively.

Regarding those hidden QR codes, you can assume that the more difficult it is to find them, the more personal points you will get.

However, as things stand, there are over two hundred students participating in the game, but we only have one hundred QR code stickers prepared.

Therefore, there may be situations where some students do not receive any points. To avoid this, we have prepared other solutions.

Participants are not limited by grade level and can work in pairs. As long as one person in a pair uses their phone to scan a QR code, and the reward for that QR code is 30,000 points, then 30,000 points will be distributed to each of the two partners.

Of course, each group can only scan a QR code once, so please use it with caution if you find multiple QR codes.

After the rules were explained simply, the students below were quite excited. If a pair of students found a grand prize worth one million, then each student would receive one million!

This is no small sum.

"Regarding those hidden QR codes, you can assume that the more difficult it is to find them, the more personal points you will receive."

Moreover, since the number of participants far exceeds two hundred, in order to avoid any students not receiving any rewards, all participants, regardless of grade or gender, can form groups of any two people.

As long as two people are in a group and one of them uses their phone to scan the QR code, both of them can receive private points rewards for the QR code.

Assuming the reward for that QR code is one million private points, then both individuals can receive one million private points.

After saying this, there was a slight pause on the board before it continued.

"In addition, one of these hundred QR codes contains a special reward: a ticket to the student council."

Simply find this QR code to receive a ticket to join the student council and become its vice president. You can use this ticket yourself or trade it to others—it's entirely up to you.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the room, as this was the ticket to becoming the vice president of the student council.

Most people might not understand what this means, but many people have taken it seriously.

The position of student council vice president is definitely useless for third-year students, and it's pretty much the same for second-year students, because even if they join the student council and become vice president, what difference does it make?

Can the next student council president still compete with Tatsuya Kamio?

impossible.

But first grade is different.

If any first-year student becomes the vice president of the student council this summer, and if they don't perform poorly afterward, it means they will be able to become the new student council president next October.

Although he is called the vice president, he can actually be considered the president of the student council.

It is easy to imagine how much help becoming the student council president can bring to the class.

In the current first grade, Class D is still struggling, but the top three classes can be said to be in a three-way competition.

Having such a position would definitely be very beneficial for them, so they would certainly strive to become the vice president of the student council, a position that is not very useful for second and third-year students.

As for second and third grade students, even if they don't need it, can't they still sell it?

Once you get your hands on this thing, you can really rip off the first-year students.

Thinking of this, many students became excited, their eyes burning with enthusiasm.

"Teacher, is there a general area for the location of the QR code?"

"Of course, these QR codes are limited to public areas and areas where students are allowed to move around. However, QR code stickers will not be hidden in places like toilets and guest rooms, and staff-only floors and rooms are also excluded."

The students visibly breathed a sigh of relief; if they had searched the entire ship, it would have taken forever.

"In addition, although luck plays a major role in this game, we have also incorporated some elements related to skill beforehand."

As the teacher on the board was saying this, the screen at the front of the hall suddenly lit up and then a picture appeared.

The content above the picture is simple: it's a slightly modified map of the ship's interior, with the sticker areas colored in and some text and graphics added to the blank spaces.

"There are three puzzles written here. Once you solve these puzzles, you will find out the locations of three hidden 2D barcodes. Only these three locations can be found by solving the puzzles."

Registration will be accepted within the next sixty minutes. Please indicate whether you wish to participate using your mobile phone.

In addition, if anyone is unable to turn on their phone due to low battery or other reasons, please contact a nearby teacher or student council member as soon as possible.

Finally, I wish you the best of luck!

Chapter 343 Luck and Strength

After the teacher finished speaking, Tatsuya Kamio took the microphone.

"I am Kamio from the student council. Students who intend to participate in the game, please come over and sign up. Of course, this can only be signed by the person in question."

Additionally, after scanning the QR code to claim your reward, please return here to report before the game ends. Failure to verify the information in time may invalidate the reward.

As soon as Tatsuya Kamio finished speaking, the students immediately took out their phones and started contacting the event staff to register.

However, what is called registration is actually about finding a teacher or student council member to activate O's QR code scanning permission. As long as you actually pay the 10,000-point participation fee, you can activate O's QR code scanning function.

Moreover, this feature is currently only available to schools, which directly prevents the use of other people's phones to participate in the competition.

Moreover, even though everyone is queuing, almost no one leaves, which means that all these students will participate.

At worst, I'll lose five thousand yuan, but if I win the grand prize, I'll be rich overnight.

After all, for first graders, this is related to the class rivalries that will follow.

For second and third-year students, this is a great opportunity to earn points. If they are lucky enough to get the position of vice president of the student council, the first-year students will probably spend a lot of money to buy it.

While the students were lining up to sign, some of the first-graders had already started.

Watching the students' actions below, Tatsuya Kamio nodded. Were they planning to approach second- and third-year students and negotiate the price beforehand?

Although many students came from Class B and Class C in the first year, they only accounted for half of the total number of students who took the exam.

Even if they all choose to take the exam individually without forming a team, their chances of getting the position of vice president of the student council are at most one-third.

Therefore, it is essential to inform the second and third graders in advance.

"It's just a position as vice president of the student council, why are those first-year students acting like they're on steroids?"

After registering, Kamuro and Sakayanagi left the fifth floor and went out to search for treasure.

"This isn't just a student council vice president position; for first-year students, this vice president will become the student council president next year."

Even when faced with the adorably silly Kamuro, Sakayanagi patiently explained.

"What about the second and third year students? They seem eager to join in too. Didn't you say that Tatsuya would definitely be the next student council president?"

"That's because even though they don't need the vice president position, they can sell it to a first-year student." Sakayanagi looked at Kamuro with some helplessness. This kid really isn't very bright.

It's only because Tatsuya Kamio spoils you; otherwise, you'd be afraid of being sold out and still counting the money for him.

Well, maybe fools are just lucky.

As more and more people signed up for the treasure hunt, the student council members gradually left the fifth floor and went to various places to begin follow-up work, which was to recycle the QR codes.

Because QR codes are disposable, to avoid wasting time scanning them repeatedly, student council members will recycle used QR codes based on information sent back from the backend.

As the game progressed, it quickly became noon, more than an hour after the treasure hunt had officially begun.

Within just one hour, more than half of the stickers were found, but most of them were QR codes worth 5,000 or 10,000 points.

The grand prize, which is hinted at by the three puzzles, has not yet been discovered, but the QR code containing the position of vice president of the student council is still there.

However, it seems that all three clues have been found, and a large number of people are currently searching the area.

Kamio Tatsuya was not surprised by this, as there were quite a few quick-witted individuals among the participants.

During lunchtime, Tatsuya Kamio did not go to eat, but stayed on the fifth floor and had someone bring food back to him. Although it was boring to stay there, he had his reasons for staying.

In the restaurant on the second floor, Ishizaki and Yamada didn't even eat, remaining engrossed in their treasure hunt game. Although Yamada had suggested going to eat several times, Ishizaki remained unmoved.

In just over an hour, the two found quite a few QR codes, but most of them were found with other people, and had already been scanned by others before they could scan them.

Except for one hidden under the sofa, the others are either behind the curtains or inside the decorative screen, making them relatively easy to spot.

As for the one at the bottom of the sofa, Ishizaki had already had Yamada scan the code. It was a treasure trove of 50,000 points, from which Yamada netted 40,000 points.

However, Ishizaki wasn't envious. Instead, he patted Yamada on the shoulder and praised him for his good luck.

"Who do you think will ultimately get that spot to join the student council?"

Bored, Katsuragi sat down next to Kamio Tatsuya and started chatting.

"How would I know?" Tatsuya Kamio chuckled. "But I do know where that QR code is. Do you want to know? I can tell you."

"No need, I have no use for this."

Katsuragi immediately refused Kamio Tatsuya's offer, since given his character, he would never cheat.

As for where that thing is, if no one has found the grand prize by the end of the game, then Tatsuya Kamio will naturally reveal the answer.

However, Tatsuya Kamio's words answered his doubts, meaning that the student council vice president position hidden in any QR code was fake.

It was hidden in a fixed place from the beginning.

Katsuragi was not dissatisfied with this at all. On the contrary, he felt that Kamio Tatsuya did the right thing, because if it really depended entirely on luck, wouldn't that be contrary to the school's mission?

Furthermore, Kamio Tatsu also considered that luck is also a part of strength, but one cannot rely entirely on such an ethereal thing as luck.

Therefore, in his plan, the points jackpot depends on luck, while student council seats depend on merit.

Time passed slowly, and as it got closer to five o'clock, many students had already scanned the QR code and chosen to register.

Kamio Tatsuya then projected the current treasure hunt situation onto the large screen in the room, allowing everyone present to clearly see the current battle situation.

Half of the stickers, all worth 5,000 points, have been found, but this does not include the position of student council vice president.

Then came the stickers with 10,000 points, which were also found. These dozens of QR codes were all easy to find and were randomly pasted in places that were clearly visible.

As for the three riddles, they have already been found, but they are not the grand prize with the highest points, but rather three rewards of 100,000 points each, which do not include the position of student council president.
