Chapter 873 Ming Ke - Strange Competition
"It's so lively over there, is there some event going on?" After eating her fill, Aiko Gojo started shopping.
"It looks like a fishing competition." Sasuke saw it at a glance with his good eyesight.
"What is the first prize?" Aiko Gojo confidently set her goal as the first prize.
After all, they have Naruto here who is pretty good at fishing.
"It's a fishing set. It seems very expensive." Sasuke felt that the third prize was what Gojo Aiko would want. It was a huge mackerel-shaped pillow.
"Do you want it?" Gojo Aiko asked Naruto.
Naruto scratched his head, he didn't seem to care how expensive the fishing gear was. After all, when he was a kid, he used bad fish hooks when fishing in the river, and sometimes he even rubbed them by hand.
"No!" He looked at the consolation prize, which turned out to be a ramen ticket!
"I want a ramen ticket!" Naruto looked at Conan, "Go and participate in the competition and win a ramen ticket for me!"
"The competition is now in the registration stage, and the competition venue is in the suburbs. It feels so troublesome..." Conan glanced at the bus parked nearby, and no one of them brought a fishing rod.
"What's the matter? I have nothing to do today anyway!" Naruto dragged Naruto to line up to sign up.
"Suburban competition..." Aiko Gojo glanced at the signboard next to her. It seemed that the registration for this fishing competition had just started today, but the registration period was only two hours. After the registration ended, people would be directly invited to the competition on site, and the competition would end in the evening.
Is the time a little too tight?
"It's on the other side of the mountain behind the sanatorium." Sasuke and Gojo Aiko thought of going there together. Holding a fishing competition at this time, the location was a bit suspicious. There must be something wrong with this competition, right?
After all, there is still traffic control in the suburbs, and the fishing competition does not have to be held today, especially since their registration has just started today. It does not mean that the registration has ended and the competition time has been agreed upon, so there is no way to change the date.
"I want the third prize." Gojo Aiko really had her eyes on the third prize. "After I win it, I'll secretly put it in Mr. Dazai's room."
"If it's a crab, he might like it more..." Sasuke didn't quite understand Gojo Aiko's bad taste, but Dazai Osamu had no way to deal with Gojo Aiko. The closet in his room was full of all kinds of messy mackerel toys, colorful bandages, and frizzy-haired puppy dolls...
"The crab pillow is not good for him because he can only look at it but cannot eat it." Gojo Aiko explained seriously, "So mackerel is the best choice! He won't want to eat it after seeing it!"
Sasuke was silent, so what about his cabinet full of tomato doll pendants?
Aiko Gojo: I have flexible standards when dealing with people individually!
"Wait, there's a special prize above the first prize!" Naruto's voice came from not far away, "The special prize is a family ticket for a three-day cruise on a luxury yacht!"
"It seems that luxury yachts are not a rare activity, right?" Gojo Aiko and her friends rode on a yacht for a long time when they were fighting against the enthusiastic boss in Naples. "Compared with the first prize, this special prize is a little inconsistent. It should be more reasonable to charter a boat to go fishing in the open sea? Or reward a whole tuna or something like that."
After all, it is a fishing competition, and most of the participants are people who like fishing, so it is more appropriate for the prizes to be related to fishing.
"I think it's quite normal..." Conan remembered that Mao Lilan often won various travel coupons and other things, so they often traveled and encountered cases...
"I understand. This is also a feature of Beika Town." Aiko Gojo often gets prizes from lucky draws when her family members go shopping, but they are usually food or daily necessities, as well as shopping credits.
The biggest prize was a one-day experience ticket for a VIP suite at a nearby hot spring hotel, but because it was for one person and there were so many people, no one went and the ticket was given to nearby neighbors.
Anyway, the prizes can be redeemed in this city, and rarely in other cities.
"This is not Beika Town..." Conan felt that Gojo Aiko seemed to have some strange impression of Beika Town.
"I want the third prize! Naruto, I leave it to you!" Gojo Aiko pretended not to hear Conan's complaints, "If you win, I'll cook you ramen for a week!"
Naruto immediately signed up with great enthusiasm, and because he was relatively young, he attracted a lot of attention from passers-by.
"Although there is no age limit for fishing competitions, for activities like this that require going to other places to participate in the competition, at least Naruto should be reminded that he needs to report to his parents or be accompanied by his parents, right?" Gojo Aiko felt that there was another suspicious point.
When Conan heard this, he also became suspicious, but he just felt that this competition might not be very formal or safe, or that this competition might be a scam.
However, there is no registration fee required for the competition, nor is there any need to purchase anything on site to participate, so it does not look like a scam.
After several people signed up, the staff kindly provided them with uniform fishing gear, probably because they saw that they had nothing with them.
But many people at the scene didn't bring anything with them, because they found out about this event and the registration time was just now. Many people saw the event while shopping and signed up, so they were basically unprepared.
Local contestants can choose to go home temporarily to get the fishing gear, but tourists from other places can only choose the fishing gear provided.
"I remember hearing about a fishing competition a few days ago. Is that it?" A passerby was chatting with a friend, "But why do I remember that the competition is next month?"
"That should be it, right? Fishing competitions aren't very popular. This is the first time I've heard of someone holding such a competition in all these years. It's impossible to hold it twice in a short period of time, right?"
"Why are fishing competitions not popular? Fishing is fun, right?"
"Is it fun to sit there for two hours and get nothing done?"
"you you you!"
Gojo Aiko turned her head and looked at Conan: "Who do you think is the organizer of this competition?"
Conan took a look at the introduction board about the competition next to it, and the organizer was written on it?
As a result, he took a closer look at the name of the organizer and felt something was wrong...
Is the name spelled wrong? Conan read the name of the company again and felt that it was indeed wrong. It must be a typo.
He searched online and found that the company's name was indeed slightly different from what was written on the sign, making it look like a pirated copy.
Wait, pirated?!
Conan looked at the staff members with sharp eyes. Could this competition be...
"Uncle, did you write the name wrong?" Naruto asked the staff while holding the uniformly distributed fishing rod and pointing at the company name on the rod and the company name on the sign next to it.
The staff member was stunned for a moment, looked at the sign next to him in surprise, and then said stumblingly: "Oh, oh! Really! Hahaha, it seems like there was a typo, hahaha!"
Is this really a typo?
