Chapter 4438 4436-Hidden Danger
"Brilliant," Lin Yi couldn\'t help but give Qi Wenhan a thumbs up as he watched. This young master was a bold man.
Although he had to pay a total of 350000 spiritual jades for a short sentence, he could tell from the bodyguards \'expressions and the shock of the surrounding outsiders that the 350000 spiritual jades had not been spent in vain.
From then on, the bodyguards under his command would trust the agency even more and become even more loyal. Once this matter was spread, the outside world would know that Qitian bodyguard agency treated their subordinates well and was extraordinarily bold. What was there to be worried about when they entrusted the goods to such a bodyguard agency?
With just 350000 spiritual jades, he could buy back the loyalty of the bodyguards and the reputation of the bodyguard agency. He would be able to wipe away the shadow of this round\'s defeat. No matter how he looked at it, this was not a bad deal!
Perhaps when Qi Wenhan said these words, he was just angry. But in the future, he would find out how wise and wise he was to make the decision today.
From a distance, Qi Mingyuan saw this scene. Not only did he not blame Qi Wenhan for acting on his own, but he also laughed happily. Beside him, boundless sea and the others \'expressions changed. The pride they had felt from getting back at him instantly disappeared.
The three rounds of competition had ended. Although the Qitian escort agency had suffered a small setback, it did not affect the overall situation. They still topped the ranking with a high score of 370 points. On the other hand, the four Seas escort agency had 270 points and was still in second place. As for the other escort agencies, they were even less of a threat to the Qitian escort agency.
"The fourth round of the competition is to hide the goods in danger. As the saying goes,\'one\'s shoes will get wet if they walk along the river\'. During the journey, everyone will encounter all kinds of unexpected dangers. However, no matter what the situation is, protecting the goods is the most important thing. When facing a powerful robber, if you know that you can\'t win by force, the first thing you have to do is to hide the valuable goods so that the other party won\'t find it. This is a basic skill that every escort should have." Boundless sea said.
Everyone present had different reactions when they heard this. Some nodded, while others shook their heads. They were not against hiding the sealed package when they were in danger. The key was that this kind of thing was easy to learn but not easy to master. Most of the time, it would be useless to hide it.
Who didn\'t know how to hide things? Even a three-year-old child would not be a problem, but the problem was that after something was hidden, how many things could be hidden from the eyes of Jindan or even Yuanying Masters?
"The rules for this round of the competition are that each escort agency will send out a participant. For the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they will each be placed in a sealed area and use the surrounding environment to hide the sealed package. After that, the five escort agencies and the \'Bandit groups\' formed by the various Chambers of Commerce will search for the sealed package together. Once the sealed package is successfully hidden, it will be considered a win." Boundless sea continued to announce.
"Hiding successfully? No matter how well you hide, you\'ll be found eventually. What is considered a successful hiding?" Someone asked in a loud voice.
"It\'s very simple. It just depends on when the sealed package is found. If it can\'t even last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it means that the hiding has failed and no points will be given. If it can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you will get fifty points. If it can last for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, you will get seventy points. If it can last for the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, you will get a hundred points. Then, you will be considered as the winner. The highest score in this round is a hundred points!" Boundless sea explained to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they all came to a realization. This way, the points were more reasonable. A full score of 100 points was not considered high, but there was indeed no danger to speak of in this round of competition, so it did not make sense to set it too high.
"One more thing. In addition to the regular competition, there is a special challenge segment. Any escort agency that obtains a full 100 points after three incense sticks \'worth of time and wants to obtain a higher score can accept a further challenge. That is to accept a search bet from any other escort agency!" Boundless sea suddenly said loudly.
"Looking for the bet?" The crowd couldn\'t help but stare blankly for a moment before suddenly becoming interested. Since there was the word "gambling" in it, it would probably be more exciting.
"That\'s right. Both parties will place a bet of 100 points. The time limit is two incense sticks. If the sealed package is found, the 100 points that the escort agency has previously obtained will belong to the Challenger. If it is not found, then they will receive an additional 100 points from the Challenger. In other words, they will receive a total of 200 points in this round!" Boundless sea said.
At that moment, the eyes of the people in charge of the escort agency lit up. Without a doubt, the last rule was the key to this round of the competition.
After the first three rounds of the competition, the various escort agencies, especially the leading Qitian escort agency and the escort agency behind them, had already pulled apart quite a bit of points. If they did not have such an additional challenge and just continued on as planned, it would be very difficult to close this point difference before the final battle.
However, this time, everyone saw hope. They would be able to obtain 200 points in one go. This meant that as long as they performed well, it would not be surprising if they could even surpass the Qitian escort agency, let alone narrow the score difference!
Of course, the premise was that the sealed package they had hidden could last for the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn. Otherwise, they would not even have the qualifications to accept the challenge, let alone obtain two hundred points.
"Alright, these are the rules for this round of the competition. Each escort agency can start selecting their participants. Get ready to start." Boundless sea announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in charge of the bodyguard agencies, including Qi Wenhan, were once again in a difficult situation.
Although this round of competition was not as dangerous as the first two rounds, and it was also not as challenging as the third round, it was still extremely difficult to choose the right candidate.
"Is there anyone who is willing to volunteer?" Qi Wenhan frowned and glanced at each bodyguard. He didn\'t talk about the reward as he did before.
After all, there was no danger to speak of in this kind of competition, and there was no need for any rewards. Those who had the ability would naturally participate, and those who did not would not have any rewards no matter how much they offered. It was not like the previous two rounds, where they would directly announce that as long as a contestant took the stage, they would be given 50000 spiritual jades regardless of whether they won or lost.
Previously, he had done this because he was responsible and courageous, which made everyone more loyal and willing to work for him!
