Seven glanced at them, crossed his arms, and stood behind them, coldly ignoring the four people.

He didn't think the four people had done anything wrong, but since they weren't following his orders, there was no need for them to keep taking advantage of him.

He would never have made a move if it weren't for He Cuihua and the three young girls.

If someone like that is going to make a killing, they'll definitely be getting big profits. So there's no need for them to be on my ship.

Seven said in a low voice to Uncle Five, who was standing anxiously at the bow of the boat.

"After Uncle Wu goes back, let these four people disembark."

Uncle Wu glanced back at the four people. The four people, under Uncle Wu's gaze, were somewhat smug, thinking they were very clever as they watched these people busying themselves here.

He sighed.

"Okay, don't worry, leave this to your uncle."

Who wouldn't feel disheartened seeing this? Even if it's just people from the same village helping each other out, what's the big deal?

It's just a matter of putting in some effort; if you can't hit it, you can't hit it.

They gained such a huge advantage yesterday, so even if they suffer a slight loss today.

This isn't a big deal, but to be so petty about it shows that we're not on the same wavelength.

As Qi Zai watched the talisman completely dissolve, he directed everyone to scoop it up with the net.

The four men immediately peered out, eager to see what the net could scoop up—a pile of stones or a tattered net.

Everyone knew in their hearts that they definitely wouldn't be able to catch anything, even though the net felt quite heavy.

However, everyone knows that the bottom is full of reefs, although the water is quite deep at the entrance.

However, once the net is cast, it will likely only catch stones, so it's normal that the net can't be dragged.

But the more I tried to pull it out, the more something felt off. Why was the net so heavy? But it seemed to move very smoothly when I dragged it, without that feeling of it getting stuck on the rocks and being unable to move.

The dozen or so people put in even more effort, and just then someone shouted.

"It's been pulled out! It's been pulled out!"

"Oh my god, look what this is!"

Two hours later, all the fishing boats were docked at the pier. The wind and waves outside were getting bigger again, and everyone knew that the best time to go out to sea might be fleeting.

Everyone knows that Da Bao and his crew's ship hasn't returned; otherwise, they've been delayed.

However, some people saw them enter the cave, and they knew that entering the cave would basically allow them to escape the waves.

Knowing they were trapped in the cave, everyone was a little gloating, after all, Da Bao and his crew's boat had been too conspicuous yesterday and had made them the target of everyone's resentment.

"They deserve to be so cocky. They made so much money yesterday, they deserve to be stuck here today!"

This is God's retribution for them; who told them to earn so much at once? One person earned in one day what others earned in ten days' worth of work points.

"Shut up, everyone. We're all in the same business. What if they encounter trouble and don't come back? Aren't you afraid your mouths will bring you retribution?"

The production team leader was getting a little impatient.

Fifteen people are stranded at sea. If they were to die, it would be a major disaster.

Everyone had no choice but to keep quiet and disperse, waiting for a while, hoping that if the weather improved, they could go out and try again.

Everyone gathered in the office on the shore.

Two hours later, when the wind and rain seemed to have subsided a bit, everyone came out and prepared to board the boat. But then they saw that Da Bao and his group's boat was actually sailing back in the distance.

Everyone couldn't help but smile and greet Uncle Wu, who was standing at the bow of the boat.

"Fifth brother! It's alright. Everyone encounters storms. If you didn't make a splash today, take a break."

Let's change the nets and try again later; we might catch another two boatloads of fish.

"Yeah, Fifth Brother, you can't just go for it all. You all hit them all, and nobody else got a chance. Today it's our turn to earn some work points."

"That's right, Uncle Wu, you should take a break too."

There were quite a few people inside gloating.

Big Pillar next to the fifth brother was not happy and said with a smug look on his face.

"Why should we take a break? We've caught some fish."

"Don't you even know who we're going out to sea to fish with?"

Everyone was speechless.

"Big Pillar, stop trying to impress yourself. What kind of weather is this?"

"You all hid in the cave just now. What could you possibly find in there? Rocks, of course."

The men on the dock burst into laughter.

Nobody believed what Dazhuzi said.

The fifth brother smiled.

"Don't laugh, everyone, we really caught a fish."

"Really? How much did you inject?"

"Could it be that the boat is full of fish again, like yesterday?"

"The fish in that cave have become spirits; they've all gathered there."

Amidst everyone's confusion, they saw Lao Wu and the others open the cabin door.

Basket after basket of fish were carried down.

Here, the fish are sold by the basket, which weighs about 100 jin (50 catties).

"Oh my god, they caught a red snapper!"

"How can I catch Jiaji?"

"That shouldn't be the case. They probably only managed to get this much stuff."

But when a dozen or so people carried the loads down one by one, everyone shut up.

They became even more envious.

It should be noted that large yellow croaker already commands the highest price among all fish.

If the weight and size are acceptable, a large yellow croaker can generally be worth two work points, and sometimes even three.

However, the red snapper is twice the size of the large yellow croaker.

Think about it, what kind of concept does this fish have in people's minds?

Moreover, everyone is eyeing this red snapper. This red snapper is not a small fish, nor is it the kind of fish that is not worth buying; on the contrary, it is a first-class product.

The crowd was in an uproar, and once this started, it never stopped. Now, there were two more staff members at the purchasing station.

After the large yellow croakers were transported away yesterday, the higher-ups, upon hearing that they could actually acquire such good stuff, naturally sent other support staff.

Old Man Li had two more helpers today, but the boat couldn't get out to sea. He was getting anxious, but then Da Bao and the others' boat returned.

More importantly, the fish I picked today is red snapper.

I haven't received this thing for two years.

And it's in such good condition.

Old Li was so excited he was trembling.

"This...this fish is of such good quality, it must be first-class."

This pound will be worth four work points.

The crowd was in an uproar as the fish unloaded from the boat were brought here to be weighed, one load at a time.

People are dazzled, and many are envious.

I regret it. I should have followed Da Bao and the others into the cave when I saw their boat go in. Maybe they would have gotten a piece of the pie too.

Finally, after pulling through, Old Man Li was overjoyed.

"A full 8,000 jin! You've stirred up a hornet's nest!"

After hearing this, many people boarded the ship without saying a word, weighed anchor, and set sail.

They remembered the location of the cave very clearly. Everyone had passed by here, and they were determined to have some soup there today.
