Xiao Hu was still playing games in his room when he saw Ye Cheng come back and casually asked,
"Brother, what does Brother Zhao want with you? Is he going to another competition?"
"It's not a competition." Ye Cheng took a bottle of soda out of the refrigerator. "It's Young Master Cui who wants me to salvage the sunken ship."
"Huh? Salvaging a shipwreck?" Xiao Hu slowed down his skills and turned to look at Ye Cheng. "When are we going? Take me with you, I want to go too."
"I didn't agree to go, what are you going for? Use your skills, use your skills, or we'll all die, damn it." Ye Cheng said as he directed Xiao Hu to fight the monster.
Xiao Hu quickly used a few skills to clear out the minions, then turned to Ye Cheng and said,
"Brother, everyone says there's treasure in the shipwreck. Do you know where it is? Why don't we go and get some ourselves? Nobody else knows."
Hearing Xiao Hu say that, Ye Cheng's face darkened, and he pointed at Xiao Hu and said,
"Well, let me warn you, don't even think about it. Those shipwrecks on the seabed belong to the country. We can retrieve them and hand them over, but selling them is illegal."
Listen carefully, it's illegal and will result in imprisonment.
We're living a perfectly good life now; there's no need for us to do such things.
It was rare to see Ye Cheng so serious, so Xiao Hu nodded obediently and went back to playing the game.
Ye Cheng rubbed his chin. "Damn it, yeah, I should ask where it is. I might as well go down and take a look myself."
Watching Xiao Hu still slaying monsters, Ye Cheng said, "Tell your second uncle later that we'll go out to sea with him again tomorrow."
"Oh, so we're going to that island with the coconut crabs again?"
"Yes, let's go early. Once we get up there, we'll set traps and we'll definitely catch more."
Ye Cheng was already imagining a scene of coconut crabs covering the ground. Although there wouldn't be any more "good" people like Wang Shao, they could still fetch a good price.
but...
He forgot that some things are not so simple.
......
Early the next morning.
Luck value: 70+20
Points: 2890. (Earth Dragon has gained quite a few points.)
Deposits: 60,000; Foreign debt: 40,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest)
With such good luck, there must be some good stuff.
They called Xiao Hu and rushed to the dock, where Wang Defa was already there; it was still barely dawn.
"Second brother, why are you setting sail so early this time?" Wang Defa asked casually.
"Okay, let's go early so we have more time to set up the traps," Ye Cheng said. "Let's go to that island where we caught the coconut crab last time."
"Ah...ah, sure, I'll go there." Wang Defa gave a vague and perfunctory reply with a strange expression.
"Hey, second brother, can I pay for the boat first? I'm short of money lately."
"When are you ever short of money?" Ye Cheng retorted, but still handed over 200 yuan, which wasn't a large sum.
Wang Defa collected the money and said cheerfully, "I wish you good luck today. It's a promise, if you don't catch any coconut crabs, I won't refund the money for this boat trip."
"Second Uncle, why are you talking so much nonsense today?" Xiao Hu couldn't stand it anymore.
"How is this nonsense? I'm just making things clear first."
Wang Defa drove Ye Cheng and the other man towards the small island they had visited before. The journey was smooth, and the weather was nice, which put everyone in a good mood.
After the two arrived, they took their things down and agreed to be picked up at 4 p.m.
Upon arriving on the island, the two headed towards the center of the island according to their plan. It was only a little past 8 a.m. They had set up a trap and were sure to catch the prey at 3 p.m. They were confident of a bountiful harvest.
The two parted the bushes, and Ye Cheng began to assign tasks, "You'll still be getting the coconuts this morning, and I'll go find some sticks. Remember to get a lot, so we can eat some ourselves."
The two of them didn't bring any dry food this time and planned to eat coconuts instead.
As Ye Cheng was speaking, Xiao Hu suddenly tugged at Ye Cheng and pointed to the sky.
Ye Cheng looked up at the sky; it was a clear blue sky with white clouds.
"What's wrong? You're planning to write poetry again?" Ye Cheng asked.
Xiao Hu shook his head and tilted his finger to one side. "Brother, the coconut is gone."
"What?!" Ye Cheng looked in the direction Xiao Hu was pointing.
Holy crap!
Where did all the coconuts go from the coconut tree?!
Only a bare coconut tree remained.
I didn't notice it at first because it was far away, but now that I'm closer, I can see it clearly.
Little Tiger was just deciding which tree to climb when he looked around and realized there wasn't a single coconut left.
"Let's go check out what's going on in the coconut grove."
Ye Cheng immediately sensed something was wrong and ran towards the coconut grove with Xiao Hu. When the two of them got down there and took a look, they were dumbfounded.
The ground was littered with coconut shells, sticks, messy footprints, and a hermit crab that had been trampled to death.
What a chaotic scene!
The surrounding rock caves also showed signs of being pried open, indicating that someone had been there.
And quite a few people came.
Ye Cheng understood after a moment's thought. He looked at Xiao Hu and said, "No wonder your second uncle was talking strangely today. Damn it, it must be him."
He'd already told everyone we caught coconut crabs here.
Ye Cheng was furious. He should have realized it sooner. With coconut crabs selling for 20,000 yuan at the dock, how could no one be envious?
In addition, Wang Defa is a money-grubbing bastard, and he must have brought more than one group of people up with him.
No wonder he looked better today.
And there's more, and more.
This guy took the boat fare from both of them today, and even said he wouldn't refund the fare if they didn't catch any coconut crabs. He was doing it on purpose.
Ye Cheng pointed at Xiao Hu angrily and said, "Your second uncle is really cunning, so cunning!"
Xiao Hu scratched his head. "Brother, you know him perfectly well. That's just how he is."
"No, I have to make him come pick us up. We don't even have any coconuts left, and we don't even have enough water."
Ye Cheng then called Wang Desheng, but no one answered after more than ten minutes of trying, whether Wang Desheng had blocked him or there was no signal at sea.
"Brother, stop hitting him. Someone like my second uncle definitely won't come back to pick us up."
Ye Cheng hung up the phone helplessly, feeling incredibly frustrated with nowhere to vent his anger.
"Brother, what do we do then? Should we still get the coconut crabs?"
Ye Cheng looked at the mess on the ground and nodded. "Do it. Do it according to whatever conditions are available."
I have a system, and my luck is high today. As long as there are still live coconut crabs on this island, I should be able to catch one.
Since Ye Cheng said so, the two of them started looking for coconuts.
I actually found a few coconuts that hadn't been cracked open, probably because they were too small.
Xiao Hu cracked open the coconut; there wasn't much meat inside, but it was just enough.
The two cleaned up the broken coconut shells and coconut meat on the ground, just in case they accidentally attracted it, and after eating a couple of bites of the scraps, they went back.
