If you were to ask Bai Yu why his luck changed so quickly, the answer would be that he opened his system panel and saw his luck value for the day!
After accompanying Bai Yue to wish her a Happy New Year, Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he hadn't wished Tongzi a Happy New Year yet.
However, after Bai Yu called out to Tongzi several times in his mind without receiving a reply, he finally opened the system panel to take a look.
The panel, which was originally light blue, had changed to bright red when he opened it this time. There were also four big characters for "Happy New Year" at the top of the panel, and the surrounding border was filled with all kinds of Chinese knots.
Just as Bai Yu was still surprised that Tongzi was also celebrating Chinese New Year, he then saw that it was also red, but with a luck value as high as 81.
Bai Yu was stunned. He had just crossed the sea in the early morning and he and Wang Hai had collected a lot of seafood. They had sold a portion of it for more than 17,000 yuan, and there was still some left to sell.
That's it. His luck stat is down to 81 points? Could it be that his luck stat is at its maximum of 100 points today?
'Surprise, host! Happy New Year! How's the New Year's gift I prepared for you? It's maxed out in luck points, plus a 10% bonus, that's a full 110 luck points!'
Just as Bai Yu was still wondering, a slightly cheerful yet strange electronic voice rang in his mind.
"Happy New Year, Brother Tongzi! My luck stat really is 110 points today? You're not kidding me? If I don't use up all my luck points today, could you save the rest for tomorrow?"
'What are you dreaming of, host? Our luck points are cleared every day. We're only giving you this little bonus today because it's New Year's. Don't even think about anything else.'
Alright, host, you can go about your business now. I'm going to visit the other commanders for the New Year. Bye-bye!
After greeting Bai Yu, Tongzi disappeared immediately, and no matter how Bai Yu called out to it, it didn't say another word.
That's why Bai Yu immediately agreed when Bai Yue mentioned going to the beach again.
Ten minutes later, Bai Yu and his two companions regrouped. This time, they brought six plastic buckets and twenty nets.
With an air of determination that they wouldn't go home until they had filled their bags with everything they had, Bai Yu and her two companions arrived at the beach.
However, as soon as they arrived at the beach, the three of them were dumbfounded!
"Brother, I told you we should have come earlier. Look how late we are now. The beach is packed with people, even the rocky beach over there is full of people. There's nowhere to put our feet. What are we going to do now?"
"What the heck? Why are there so many people coming to beachcomb on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Don't they go out and visit each other?"
Looking at the entire beach in front of him, and the villagers on the rocky shore next to it, Bai Yu was speechless for a moment.
Looking around, there were at least a hundred people gathering seafood on the beach and rocky shore. These people were really ruthless at gathering seafood. Take the villagers on the beach, for example. They were all using rakes and plows to till the land, leaving no grass growing where they went!
Then Bai Yu spotted Bai Yun and the others in the crowd, which explained why there were so many people there.
Last night, Bai Yu and his friends' scheme to make money by beachcombing was exposed, which is why so many people came here to join the fun.
"Forget it, let's not fight with them. Let's go to the other side of the pier and take a walk on that mudflat."
Given the current state of the beach and rocky shore, Bai Yu decisively abandoned his plan to compete with them for the catch and headed towards the pier.
When they arrived at the other side of the mudflat, although it wasn't deserted, it was much better than the beach, with only a few people around.
"Brother, why do you think the villagers only go beachcombing on the sandy beach and rocky shore, but hardly anyone wants to come to this mudflat?"
"What else could it be? Resources are scarce here. You can't find anything good while beachcombing here, so over time no one wants to come anymore."
That's because the villagers don't understand. This is the real treasure of our village. The first time I caught a flower lobster with your brother Hai and sister Xue'er, it was right here. There are so many good things here.
"Let's go, let's get down to work!"
Looking at the mudflats in front of him, Bai Yu was filled with anticipation.
So what if this mudflat is lacking in resources? What does that have to do with Bai Yu? He's a man with 81 points of luck, which means he's lucky enough to guess the abalone just by taking a few steps!
Huh? Oh my god, I think I really stepped on something!
Bai Yu threw his shoes into a ball, rolled up his trousers, and took the lead into the mudflats. After taking only two steps, he felt something hard under his feet. He had stepped on something hard!
Bai Yu then groped around in the mudflats and soon found a small snail in the mud. Although it wasn't an abalone, it was enough to show how lucky Bai Yu was that day!
"Wow, Brother Yu, you're really lucky! You just came down and you've already found a baby snail? Hey, I stepped on something too, a clam? Such a big clam?"
Just as Bai Yu found a small snail, Wang Hai, who came down a little later, also found a clam after taking a few steps. Moreover, it was a large clam, about the size of a silver coin.
However, when it was Bai Yue's turn, her luck wasn't so good. She walked more than ten meters without finding a single piece of seafood, let alone taking two steps.
Fortunately, Bai Yue was mentally strong, and she did not feel disappointed. Instead, she began to search earnestly on the mudflats.
Soon, a dark-skinned creature hopping and skipping on the mudflats caught her attention.
That was a mudskipper, just emerging from the mud to stretch its body on the mudflats.
But before it could even move, it felt the sky above it darken, and then it felt its feet lighten, as if it were flying.
Then, its whole body tensed up, as if it had been grabbed by something, and with a thud, it appeared in a white, enclosed space.
The person who caught it was Bai Yue, the tool used to catch it was a net, and the last place it appeared was in a plastic bucket.
Bai Yue's movements were as smooth as flowing water, just like catching fish in an aquarium; she caught a mudskipper in no time.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth, and the Nth.
The faster the tide receded, the more mudskippers Bai Yue caught. In no time, her bucket was filled with several layers of mudskippers, at least dozens of them.
Compared to Bai Yue's enthusiasm for catching mudskippers, Bai Yu had just discovered a hole, a hole that looked very familiar. He felt as if he had encountered this kind of hole before.
"Tsk, this looks a bit like the lobster hole we used to dig out. Is there a lobster hiding in here? Or something else?"
Looking at the hole in front of him, Bai Yu wanted to reach in but was hesitant to do so, fearing he might pull out something frightening.
However, since Bai Yu has encountered this hole, he has no choice but to open it up, otherwise he will be unwilling to accept it.
Bai Yu then took out a rubber glove from his pocket, put it on his hand, and began to dig the hole.
The entrance to this hole isn't very big, only about seven or eight centimeters wide, but the space inside is quite large, much larger than the entrance.
At the same time, the hole was quite deep. Bai Yu's entire forearm was inside, and he still hadn't reached the bottom. He didn't know what it was that had dug such a deep and big hole.
As Bai Yu's hand went deeper and deeper, his fingers soon touched something—something with a very soft surface.
Soft? What soft creature would burrow? Could it be a sea snake or a moray eel?
Just as Bai Yu was still wondering, suddenly, Bai Yu felt its fingers being entangled by something, and not just one thing, but a whole group of things, like tentacles.
Tentacles? Could it be that thing?
After feeling the sensation in his hand, Bai Yu grabbed the thing wrapped around his finger and pulled it out.
As Bai Yu pulled him out of the cave, he finally saw what had entangled him: two long-legged octopuses.
Octopus is octopus, why add the word "long legs"?
That's because these two octopuses have very long legs, much longer than those of ordinary octopuses, so locals usually call them long-legged octopuses.
Bai Yu caught two at once, and they looked like a family of two. Unfortunately, Bai Yu caught them all in one fell swoop.
