Chapter 48 Luck Value 0, Warning of a Huge Wave



Chives, well, they just keep growing back after being harvested.

As for radishes, it's not that he particularly loves eating them, it's just that they look nice to grow.

After returning, Ye Cheng checked the system and found that his points had reached 220, a significant increase for the day.

......

After getting up, the first thing Ye Cheng did was to turn on the system.

Luck: 0

Points: 220

Upon seeing his luck value drop to zero, Ye Cheng, who was lying in bed, was so startled that he jumped up from the bed and rubbed his eyes several times before confirming that there really was a "-" sign in front of him.

"What the hell is this system? How come it's generating negative numbers?"

What does this mean? He can understand not being able to pick up items when his luck is low, but what does it mean when it suddenly drops to zero?

Is it that I can't even pick up the dead?

Not understanding what the system meant, Ye Cheng decided to stay home all day just to be on the safe side, and see how he could make me pay for this.

Knowing that Xiao Hu was coming, Ye Cheng even made a special call to tell him that he wouldn't be going to the beach today.

Xiao Hu didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he understood and just needed to listen to Ye Cheng.

If he doesn't go out, Ye Cheng starts growing vegetables in the yard.

In his previous life, he was a top-tier executive at a major company, fluent in English, skilled in programming, and a genius who could produce weekly reports, fix bugs, and provide design ideas in just 10 minutes.

However, when it comes to planting vegetables, they are a bit clueless.

He remembered that growing vegetables was a complex skill, but...

He didn't know the specifics of how to plant it. Shouldn't the damn seed seller have included instructions? In later years, e-commerce platforms would include instructions and nutrient solution.

Holding a handful of seeds, I was at a loss. I had no choice but to use what I knew from elementary school labor class: whatever, I dug a hole, threw them in, covered them with soil, watered them, and that was it.

At noon, Ye Cheng quickly prepared some food, then lay on the bed and played Snake for a while before taking a nap.

Taking a nap is a rare treat for future generations.

Ye Cheng was awakened in the middle of the night by a strange voice echoing in his mind.

"alarm!"

"alarm!"

Ye Cheng sat up abruptly in bed. The system suddenly popped up in front of him, with a red alarm ringing incessantly.

[Warning! Large waves are expected in the waters off Baiyun Village in 2 hours.]

This is?

It seems to be the [Danger Perception] skill that I awakened after I was injured last time.

Will there be big waves in 2 hours?

No way.

Ye Cheng checked his phone; there would be waves around 2 PM, which is 4 PM.

That...

People who go out to sea.

Wow!

Although he hadn't verified this skill before, he trusted the system's creations completely.

Ye Cheng grabbed his phone, hopped on his bicycle, and rushed out of the house. He went to Xiao Hu's house first. Xiao Hu's parents worked at the dock and sometimes went out to sea.

"Xiao Hu, where are your parents? Have they gone out to sea?" Ye Cheng rushed in and grabbed Xiao Hu from the bed.

This was the first time Xiao Hu had seen Ye Cheng with such a serious expression, and he didn't react for a moment.

"Hurry up! Have your parents gone out to sea yet?" Ye Cheng shouted anxiously.

"He said he went out to sea with his second uncle, what's up, bro?"

"Damn it! What's wrong? Hurry up, call your second uncle right now and tell him he has to turn back immediately, right now, understand?"

"No, what happened? Bro, you're a little scary."

“There’s a storm at sea, and big waves are coming soon. Call me right away, and I’ll call my brother to see where he is.”

Ye Cheng didn't explain further. He took out his phone and made a call to Ye Guowei.

Ye Guowei didn't have a mobile phone, but there was a landline at the dock, so Ye Cheng quickly contacted Ye Guowei.

"Brother, are you at the dock?"

"Oh, yes, I'm unloading cargo. Why are you in such a hurry to call me? Is something wrong at home?" Ye Guowei sounded a little worried on the other end of the phone.

"Brother, let me tell you, at 4 o'clock, there will be big waves at sea. Tell your boat to find a place to hide quickly, and you should hide too, understand?"

"Huh? Second brother, the weather is fine, where did the wind and waves come from? Look for yourself."

Ye Cheng had checked the weather outside. It wasn't exactly clear skies, but it was sunny and calm, and didn't look like there was any extreme weather at all.

Sensing his brother's slight disbelief, Ye Cheng reluctantly lied, "Brother, believe me. I have a friend at the city's meteorological bureau. He said they've already detected waves at sea. Hurry up. If all else fails, just come back yourself. It's okay if you lose a little money."

"Ah, it's the city's meteorological bureau, huh? Well... I'll talk to my boss about it." Hearing that it was such an authoritative department as the meteorological bureau, Ye Guowei believed it to be true.

As for where Ye Cheng's friends in the city came from, he hadn't thought of that yet.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll come by myself."

After talking for a while, Ye Cheng was still worried. His older brother's stingy nature might make him reluctant to pay his wages, and the boss might not believe him either.

"How did it go? Did you get in touch with your second uncle?" Ye Cheng asked Xiao Hu after hanging up the phone.

"I called, but my second uncle didn't quite believe me. I told him it was you who said it, and he was still a little skeptical. But don't worry, brother, my second uncle is just a coward and afraid of death. He will definitely come back."

Ye Cheng knew Wang Haisheng well; he was greedy for money and petty gains, but also afraid of death.

Just to be on the safe side, Ye Cheng called him again and repeated what he had just said to Ye Guowei. This time, Wang Haisheng really panicked and agreed to return to base immediately.

Ye Cheng checked the time; it was already 2:20. He should have enough time to get back.

“Come on, follow me to the dock and bring my brother back.”

He could ignore everyone else, but he had to protect his own elder brother.

Although the dock is not at sea, it is still dangerous for people to load and unload cargo on ships when a big wave comes.

"Brother, are there really big waves at sea?" Xiao Hu still didn't quite believe it after they came out.

At this point, Ye Cheng could only say that he had it.

"You can trust me, I have sources, okay?"

"You told Guowei that you know people in the city, but I don't know that. Aren't you with me all the time?"

"You believe what Mr. Qian told me, right?"

"Oh, that must be it. Mr. Qian has a large business and extensive connections."

Sigh, these days, it's really hard to believe what a country bumpkin like me says.

When Ye Cheng reached the village entrance, he suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped, almost causing Xiao Hu to crash into him.

"Xiao Hu, do you think some of the villagers go out to sea?" Ye Cheng asked, frowning.

"Of course there are, and the weather is nice today, who would have thought there would be big waves?" Xiao Hu pointed to the clear sky.

"Go to the village chief's house and have him tell the others that we need to call them back, or something terrible will happen."

After thinking for a long time, Ye Cheng decided to go to the village chief. Although the villagers were not very friendly to him (of course, this was mainly due to the original owner of the body), as a normal person, he still hoped to save as many people as possible.
