Lin Chaosheng knew immediately that Qin Laoda was trying to extort money, so he grabbed a hoe from the wall and was about to smash it down.
Startled, Boss Qin immediately raised his hands to shield himself.
"You only gave me forty yuan back then, and it hasn't even been a day yet, and you're already trying to scam me out of interest? You're such a coward!"
"To tell you the truth, I, Lin Chaosheng, have nothing but a mountain of debt. All I have is my worthless life, so I'll just keep fighting!"
"If you really anger me, I'll take you all to hell with me!"
The tall, thin man and the short, fat man trembled with fear. Lin Chaosheng had just experienced a brush with death, and there was a sinister glint in his eyes, which completely terrified Qin Laoda and his two companions.
Qin Laoda swallowed hard, but still stubbornly insisted, "Lin Chaosheng, you better remember this, this isn't over!"
After saying that, he ran away with his two henchmen, looking resentful.
"This is fucking bizarre! Lin Chaosheng is like a completely different person!"
Qin Laoda's mutterings reached not only Lin Chaosheng's ears, but also the Liang sisters' ears.
Liang Mei quickly found a piece of clothing for Liang Fu to put on, and the two sisters stood together, looking at Lin Chaosheng.
Lin Chaosheng didn't have time to pay attention to their strange expressions. His priority was to have a good meal and then find a way to make money to pay off his gambling debts.
"Honey, do we have anything to eat right now?"
Liang Mei was taken aback. Only after seeing Lin Chaosheng's hand touching his stomach did she realize that she hadn't even made lunch yet!
"I'll go make it right away. There are still two handfuls of cornmeal and dried vegetables at home. I'll make a cornbread to eat..."
"What? Cornbread?" Lin Chaosheng picked at his ear. "Never mind, you two sisters go back and wait. I'll go find you some meat."
After saying that, she ran out without paying attention to the shocked looks on the Liang sisters' faces.
"Sis... I wasn't hallucinating, was I?"
Liang Mei shook her head blankly, "Perhaps your brother-in-law has... changed for the better?"
Lin Chaosheng pondered the newly awakened system, wondering what good things its luck value of "15" could bring him.
"Hey, isn't this Chao Sheng? Going to gamble again?"
"I haven't even beaten my wife yet today!"
There were quite a few people under the big tree; some were dismantling fishing nets, and some were playing cards, but they all made sarcastic remarks when they saw Lin Chaosheng.
"The past is the past, the present is the present. I, Lin Chaosheng, will never gamble again!"
"A wife is meant to be cherished. I was a terrible person before. I'm telling you this now: from now on, I'm going to make sure my wife and sister-in-law live the high life, and I'm also going to build a new house for my parents!"
Watching Lin Chaosheng walk towards the sea, the crowd frowned and muttered, "Has Lin Chaosheng gone mad?"
The closer you get to the sea, the worse the smell becomes.
The smell of the sea, the rotting smell of fish and shrimp, and the sour stench of sweat from the fishing boats was enough to make anyone want to vomit.
"Big brother!"
A voice that was both strange and familiar suddenly came from not far away. When he saw his younger brother, Lin Shansheng, running towards him, Lin Chaosheng almost burst into tears.
It has been sixty years since I last saw him.
"Brother, Mom and Dad sent me to come find you and ask if you had any leftover food. But I ran into Boss Qin and his gang on the way, muttering something about 'strange' things..."
Lin Shansheng ran up to Lin Chaosheng, panting as he spoke, but his eyes shone brightly with excitement.
"Our parents got a rabbit leg and said you should go and take it home so your sister-in-law can have a nice meal tonight!"
Lin Chaosheng felt even worse and wanted to rush home right now, kneel down before his parents, and admit that he was unfilial.
But not now. He needs to hurry up and retrieve something from the sea, and he also wants to see what surprises this system can bring him.
"I won't eat the rabbit legs; I'll save them for Mom and Dad to help them recover."
Lin Shansheng's mouth dropped open. "What? What?"
Is this still the same lazy, gambling-addicted older brother of his?
Lin Chaosheng grinned and patted Lin Shansheng's firm muscles, saying, "Alright, young and strong, come with me to the sea to catch some seafood!"
"What?" Lin Shansheng was even more confused. "Big brother, you can catch seafood? How come I didn't know that!"
"There are a lot of things you don't know, hurry up and keep up! Today, your older brother is going to treat you to something big, so our whole family can eat our fill!"
Lin Shansheng knew his older brother was a scoundrel, but he trusted his older brother the most.
At this moment, as soon as his elder brother spoke, Lin Shansheng immediately took off his shirt and plunged into the sea.
Lin Chaosheng, who was standing to the side studying his entry into the water: ...
Lin Chaosheng simply followed suit and plunged in as well.
In his previous life, he had never been to the sea. He thought he would feel uncomfortable for a while, but after going into the sea, he not only did not feel any discomfort, but he could even breathe freely!
Lin Chaosheng instantly understood that this was something the system had given him.
What the hell is the difference between this and being on land?
Lin Chaosheng burst into laughter, and even learned to swim on his own, taking off swimming in the sea.
The underwater visibility was not low, but Lin Chaosheng saw mostly rocks, shells, and trash.
Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his eyes, and then an orange figure appeared not far away.
It even has color? What's the difference between this and food delivered to your door?!
Lin Chaosheng was overjoyed and swam over there with his tools. It looked like a crab.
Swimming crabs are at their fattest in July, but because it's a year of famine, not many people have caught them.
Lin Chaosheng's mouth watered at the thought of the plump crab roe and sweet crab meat.
He seized the opportunity and clamped down on a blue crab with one swipe of his pincers.
Lin Chaosheng was so excited he wanted to burst into laughter, but what happened next shocked him.
A dozen or so swimming crabs emerged from under the large rock. Lin Chaosheng quickly gestured to Lin Shansheng, asking him to catch the crabs with him.
Lin Shansheng's eyes turned red when he saw so many swimming crabs.
The pincers moved quickly and accurately, and within two minutes, more than twenty swimming crabs were in the two men's fish baskets.
Lin Shansheng excitedly pointed upwards, as if to say: Shall we go up?
Lin Chaosheng shook his head. The system's luck value had just changed from "15" to "14", and he already had a guess in his mind.
"You go up first."
Lin Chaosheng gestured, handing him the fish basket tied to his waist, and then swam away with another empty fish basket.
Lin Chaosheng's eyes started to well up with tears after swimming not far.
I picked up 8 plump scallops, 6 sweet and chewy scallops, and more than a dozen mussels.
Just as his luck stat dropped from 14 to 10, Lin Chaosheng felt it was about time and was about to float up when he felt a burning sensation in his eyes again, followed by a meter-long figure appearing not far away.
"Holy crap, a mackerel!"
