Dire Waters (14): Persist

There weren´t many tourists who chose to stay in guest rooms. More than 20 groups of tourists had gritted their teeth and paid six low-level energy crystals.
They had been in this inexplicable predicament for three days. Even if they collect two per day, they could collect six energy crystals in total. What’s more, as long as they paid more attention to the situation on both sides of the strait in the process of completing the task, they would be able to collect five low-level energy crystal per day, and now they spent part of it to enjoy a one-night treasure ship service, the price was still acceptable.
The more important reason was that many tourists didn´t carry much food with them. In three days, all the food that could be found in the city had been eaten up. When they passed by the first floor of the treasure ship in a tired and hungry state, they smelled delicious food aroma, how could they resist?
When their stomachs were round and the brain blood supply was insufficient, they just wanted to find a place to sleep, let them go back to the shore and grab the hotel room that had been tossed and messed up, or lie down directly on the road, the comfortable and clean rooms on the treasure ship were too tempting.
Let’s count again, if they only ate in the treasure ship, one person would also need one low-level energy crystal, two people add up to two, it was better to add four more. Not only would there be a room for rest, supper and breakfast was also available.
After all the calculations, many tourists with “deposits” in their hands still stayed in the treasure ship.
Of course, the service provided by Treasure Ship would not disappoint. All the food, drink and entertainment were the best, so that the guests who stayed in the hotel could feel the most comfortable enjoyment.
And those tourists who barely touched the air conditioner of the treasure ship store were sent out of the treasure ship after half an hour. Tourists who could only sleep on the road on the shore looked at the bright lights on the treasure ship with infinite envy.
This night’s variety show was released at two o’clock in the morning, and the surviving tourists generally felt the pattern. Only when everyone completed the task, or the rest of the people were definitely not able to complete the task and would be eliminated, the variety show would be edited and played.
The tourists who were awakened by the sound and light effect of the variety show were angry and a little scared. They wondered; how many people were eliminated today?
Soon, they saw everyone’s performance during the day from the show. The continuous high temperature and the long uphill are all challenges to the human body’s limits. Obviously, only a few of them succeeded in the challenges.
It was really difficult to climb the ramp by paddling a wooden boat. Too many people had to slip off the ramp and retreat a certain distance just because of one carelessness after exhaustion. The hard work turned into foam.
Going backwards again and again, wasting efforts again and again, in a hot and dry environment, in a state of dizziness due to severe water shortage, not everyone could withstand such a blow and continue to work hard.
Although under the threat of life, everyone had to try to climb the slope again and again, but if there was no firm belief in their hearts, the final result was that after a certain exhaustion, they accidentally fell into the water and sink to the bottom.
The difficulty of the volcanic lava waterway was greater than that of the iceberg glacier the previous day. After more than two hours of variety show, the surviving tourists all knew clearly that within one day, more than half of the tourists were eliminated, and the remaining tourists weren´t even seven hundred people.
In the quiet silence, the subconscious reaction in many people’s minds was that it was no wonder that there were many fewer people scattered on the road.
After pondering, some surviving tourists changed their minds, got up and paddled to the treasure boat shop overnight, and bought the cheapest boat with the energy crystals they managed to gather up.
Looking at the current situation, only relying on wooden boards was really not enough, there must be a more advanced boat!
The surviving tourists were preparing for the new day, as were Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who were doing calculations with the help of pen and paper in the guest room.
They watched every day’s programs very seriously. During the daytime tasks, they would carefully observe other tourists they encountered, match the pictures in the program with the people in their impressions, and then analyze and summarize the behavior of the surviving and eliminated tourists, the two found something unusual.
For example, in today’s volcanic magma waterway, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian worked hard and managed to climb up with the blessing of the gem boat and energy crystals. According to the resistance they felt during the climb, there were not many people except them that could climb up.
But the fact was that some tourists who seemed to be insufficient in strength were paddling the wooden boat with wooden oars, and finally they rowed up one by one.
The two had long suspected that the resistance of the water might be different for everyone, and now they were more certain of this guess. The resistance encountered by the strong was stronger, and the resistance encountered by the weak was relatively weak.
Then a new question came again. On the premise that the resistance that everyone feels was the maximum that they could bear, theoretically everyone could successfully complete the task. Why did some people stay and some people got eliminated?
By recalling the pictures of the three-day variety show and comparing their observations in reality, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had a new bold guess.
“Assuming that everyone’s resistance is within their own limits, the ability to complete the task depends on whether they can persevere like a masochist.
Everyone is very cold, very hot, and very tired. Is it possible to doubt that the thoughts in everyone’s heart will affect the actual state.
For example, neither of us has ever doubted that we will be able to complete the task. We firmly believe that no matter what kind of waterway, as long as we stick to the row, we can always complete it, so we have indeed completed it.
But there are people who, after being hit so many times, think that such a task is impossible, and then they really can’t…”
Xia Ruize’s mind quickly flashed the scenes shown in the show, some tourists who obviously looked physically strong and had good strength, but always had hesitation on their faces, unable to throw away distractions and wild thoughts, and as a result, they really could not climb the long slope and were eliminated in despair.
However, some tourists who seemed to be thin and weak, with ordinary strength, and would be bullied by other tourists when they were on the shore because they couldn’t grab a place to rest, but after getting into the water, even if they were scratching a broken board, they still didn’t know how to write “give up”, even if they were washed down by the water again and again, they would still row forward again and again with their teeth clenched.
