Soon, Bai Yu and his friends arrived at the seaside. The boundless sea, paired with a strip of yellow sand, was a rare and beautiful natural scene.
The beach in front of Bai Yu's village is quite long, with the sandy beach stretching for two or three kilometers, and further out there is a rocky reef.
Beaches and rocky shores are great places for beachcombing, but Bai Yu and his group arrived at a slightly inopportune time.
It's around 2 PM now. If there were any seafood on the beach at this time, it would have been dried out long ago, so the beach is not Bai Yu's destination.
Having grown up by the sea, Bai Yu knew very well where to go beachcombing at this time of year, such as a slightly more distant rocky beach, where the seafood was definitely much more plentiful than on the current sandy beach.
Bai Yu and his group consisted of eight people, all of whom were young men who were not afraid of the sun and did not care about skin tone.
Girls like Li Xue wouldn't come to the beach to sunbathe at this time of day.
At this moment, Bai Yu was carrying a plastic bucket and walking at the front. His mind was filled with the luck value of 32 displayed on the system panel. It was not high, but it was definitely not low either.
He is now very eager to know what kind of gains a luck value of 32 can bring him, and how much money this gain can bring him.
"Xiao Hai, let's just look around here. This isn't your first time going beachcombing with me, so I don't need to remind you of anything. Now, get to work. If you need anything, just shout, and the brothers will come to help. Let's get to work."
Upon arriving at the rocky beach, Bai Yu went down first, and at the same time, he took out his cell phone.
Although the memories of his previous life didn't help Bai Yu much, they told him that the future would definitely be an internet age, and an age where traffic would be king.
In the future, you can be uneducated and lack skills online, but as long as you have traffic and become popular, you can make money, and a lot of money, regardless of whether you are human or not.
Bai Yu is currently in 2015, when short video platforms were still in their infancy. Naturally, Bai Yu joined them immediately and became a short video blogger on Kuaishou.
The videos he shared were very simple; they were videos of him going to the beach. He didn't update his videos very often before, partly because Bai Yu had to go to school, and partly because he wasn't very successful at beachcombing.
While it's true that pocket money can be earned, netizens don't want to see you picking up a few measly things on the beach every day. They want to see you picking up lobsters, giant crabs, giant clams, and all sorts of oddities, picking up whatever you can find.
Therefore, Bai Yu's short video account has not been able to take off. Half a year has passed since the end of last year, and Bai Yu's Kuaishou account only has more than 30,000 followers.
This number is really small, and these people are following Bai Yu not because his beachcombing videos are so exciting, but because he is pitiful.
Every time Baiyu posts a video of beachcombing, these guys comment in the comments section, saying things like, "So-and-so beachcombing streamer found a baby lobster again!" or "So-and-so beachcombing streamer found a giant sea cucumber again!"
Looking at these comments, a person instantly popped into Bai Yu's mind—a video blogger from her past life. That guy existed in her memories; his name was Da Qing, and he was also a beachcombing streamer. His experiences were similar to Bai Yu's now.
The only difference is that when Daqing started doing this, short video platforms had already developed very well. His authentic beachcombing videos were very popular, and Daqing attracted a large number of fans in a short period of time.
Bai Yu is currently in the early stages of short video production. At this time, viewers prefer to watch exciting or borderline content. While viewers might watch Bai Yu, an unlucky beachcomber, they might not follow him. They would feel ashamed that such an unlucky person would appear on their following list.
Today, Bai Yu is preparing to record another video of beachcombing to see if he can find anything good on the rocky beach with his 32 points of luck.
Bai Yu was lost in thought when, as he stepped over a rocky pit, he sensed something flash by and ran away.
"Hmm? There's something in this puddle?"
Sensing something amiss in the rocky crater beneath her feet, Bai Yu immediately stopped and stood on the rock to look down.
Bai Yu originally had little hope for this rocky sinkhole, because it was not only small, but also far from the coastline. The seawater in such sinkholes is usually formed by waves splashing up when they hit the rocks.
This rocky pit is about a meter square in size, and the seawater inside is not deep and is very clear, so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.
The shadow that Bai Yu had just caught a glimpse of disappeared into a crevice in the rocks. Bai Yu then lay down on the rocks and peered into the crevice.
"Wow, guys, did you see that? There's a huge blue crab in that crevice in the rocks. And did you guys see that yellowish thing over there? That's definitely a blue crab's claw, I guarantee it!"
Upon spotting what appeared to be a crab claw of a blue crab, Bai Yu immediately pointed his phone at a crevice in the reef and began explaining as he spoke.
Bai Yu is serious about filming videos, but due to equipment limitations, he cannot record for a long time while holding his phone because the phone's memory does not allow him to do so.
So he usually only takes out his phone to film after spotting prey, and then explains while filming himself.
At this moment, on Bai Yu's phone screen, there was a patch of color that was clearly different from the rocks next to it.
"Brothers, when catching these crabs hiding in the crevices of the rocks, we must never try to grab them directly with our hands, otherwise we will easily get pinched by their claws."
We'll catch it using our old method; we'll just use the crab tongs we prepared beforehand to pull it out.
As Bai Yu spoke, he took out a large stainless steel tongs from his plastic bucket. There are many kinds of these; some are for catching eels, and some are for catching crabs.
Bai Yu took the large clamp and inserted it into the crevice of the reef. After poking around for a while, Bai Yu felt the clamp catch something, and it was quite heavy. He quickly took the clamp out.
As the clamp was pulled out of the gap, a green creature wielding two large pincers was also brought out from its front end.
