Watching the tender green shoots struggle to push through the soil above their heads, bursting with vitality, is truly heartwarming.
"Come on, my little cuties, it's time for some water."
Ye Cheng casually poured some water on it, as for his own organic fertilizer.
Um, forget it, I can't stand the smell.
Next time, I'll use some fertilizer to water them; the little darlings need to be well-fed, after all.
Not wanting to cook lunch, Ye Cheng wandered over to Li the Cripple's place around 10 a.m. for a chat.
"Hey, isn't this our village's big star, Lao Er?"
As soon as he entered, Li the Cripple rushed out to greet him with a mocking expression.
"Hehe, wasn't I a celebrity before?" Ye Cheng retorted.
"You were like that before, but you were the villain, like Zhou Bapi. Now you're the good guy, the high and mighty kind."
"Holy crap, you can even summarize now."
"There's no other way. You made over ten thousand yesterday. Anyone would be envious. How about it? Are you interested in investing in my little shop and making it bigger and stronger?"
Ye Cheng glanced at Li the Cripple. This guy wasn't exactly a peaceful fellow either; he was trying to expand and strengthen his business.
"Stop arguing, give me a serving of oyster omelet, a portion, for lunch."
“Okay, if you’re interested, just tell me, and we’ll expand the shop, add more general merchandise, and turn it into a supermarket. That way, it’ll be convenient for the villagers, and we can make money too.” Li the Cripple said, making arrangements while also encouraging Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng gave a wry smile. Fame brings trouble. People used to say that celebrities have bad tempers and like to get angry and curse.
That doesn't seem to make no mistake. Being followed like this every day, with people always asking for secret recipes or money, I don't care who it is.
Li the Cripple was quick; he finished preparing it in no time and brought it to Ye Cheng, then plopped down opposite him.
Ye Cheng looked up at him and teased, "What, you think you're a beauty, working as an escort?"
"No, it's just that I was worried you'd get bored eating alone."
"I'm not bored."
"Then just keep me company for a few minutes?"
"I'm not in the mood."
Seeing that Ye Cheng was unmoved by reason, Li the Cripple wasn't annoyed. He casually offered Ye Cheng a cigarette, then lit one for himself, squinting as he said...
"Second brother, so many people are following you to go beachcombing, what are your thoughts?"
"I'm not Yuanfang, so I don't have any opinion."
Li the Cripple paused for a moment, "Who is Yuanfang? The Yuanfang from Liu Village next door?"
Ye Cheng sighed. That's the downside of being reborn; there's no common ground anymore.
"I mean, whatever thoughts I have, I can only go along with them."
After saying that, Ye Cheng lowered his head and continued eating.
"Second brother, do you have some secret? Why don't you teach us?" Li the Cripple continued to ask.
A glint of light flashed in Ye Cheng's lowered eyes.
That's exactly the topic he wanted to discuss.
I came to eat at Li the Cripple's place to get some information.
Ye Cheng raised his head with a feigned innocent expression, still chewing something, and asked indistinctly,
"Whose advice did you hear this from?"
“Village chief.” Li the Cripple gestured with his hand, smoothly betraying the village chief.
"The village chief said, 'How could a good-for-nothing like you suddenly become so capable? There must be some secret to it.'"
He not only told me, but I also saw him tell many other people.
Ye Cheng nodded slightly; it really was the village chief.
Alright, we know what happened, and Li the Cripple is no longer of any use to us.
Ye Cheng threw ten yuan on the table, then turned around, grabbed a bottle of Coke, and left.
"Second brother, you're leaving already? Is there any secret to it?"
"Yes! It's God!" Ye Cheng pointed to the sky.
After returning home, Ye Cheng lay down on the bed and slept soundly until after 3 p.m. before yawning as he woke up.
Awesome, so awesome.
It feels like I'm about to leave work as soon as I wake up.
However, I haven't used up all my luck points for today, so I feel a bit cheated.
Extremely bored, he opened the system to take a look, and the system store had new items again: [Ground Cage].
This is all included: a fish trap costs 40 points, and a serving of exclusive bait costs 10 points.
This is the first time the system has presented something as a complete set, and it even includes exclusive bait. What is this thing?
Ye Cheng clicked on the description of the special bait:
[This product is compatible with the floor cage system and can only be used with other floor cages. It can increase the output rate by 40%, but the effect decreases with prolonged use and requires regular replacement.]
Holy crap, a 40% increase in shipment rate? That's amazing!
We absolutely have to get that done. What's this called? Equipment enchanting.
It's a bit pricey, and it's a consumable item, so I'll have to buy it again if I feel it's not effective in the future.
Ye Cheng looked at his 300-plus points. Since they weren't of any use to him for the time being, he decided to exchange them all for him.
I promptly redeemed 6 fish traps and 6 exclusive baits.
Now we've got some fun. No beachcombing, huh? Then I'll set a fish trap.
After putting the things away, Ye Cheng wasn't in a hurry to go out and put them away.
Given my current popularity in the village, I'd be targeted if I showed any interest.
Ye Cheng stayed at home, waiting until it got dark.
As evening approached, villagers gradually returned home.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchens of each household, and Ye Cheng also grabbed a quick bite to tide him over.
Then, bored, I looked at the sky in the yard.
In the distance, the night sky gradually quieted down.
Curses could be heard intermittently.
That bastard Ye Lao Er!
We spent a whole day fishing and got absolutely nothing!
Ye Cheng smiled slightly and closed his eyes to rest.
At 9 p.m., Ye Cheng called Xiao Hu's house and asked him to come over.
"Brother, shall we go beachcombing tonight? I knew you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve." Little Tiger really can't say anything nice.
"If you can't speak, then don't speak. What is a clever idea? This is wisdom. You know what wisdom is, right? Also, we're not going to go beachcombing tonight. We're going to set up fish traps."
"A ground cage? That's no good, bro." Little Tiger lost interest as soon as he heard about ground cages.
"Why not? A fish trap works just the same way, doesn't it?"
"Brother, anyone can set a fish trap, but they all have to be set in the sea. If you set them on the beach, you basically won't catch any fish."
If it's just about letting things float on the beach, why would anyone bother going beachcombing?
Ye Cheng knew that what Xiao Hu said was true; generally speaking, fish traps are released at sea.
Just like Xiao Hu's second uncle, Wang Haisheng, who made a living by setting fish traps at sea.
It's not that there's no seafood at the seaside, but the water is relatively shallow, there's less seafood, especially high-end seafood. Also, you need to prepare bait for the fish traps, and the traps are easy to break, making it a very low-profit fishing activity.
Sometimes it might take a week to get the goods.
However, those are under normal circumstances. Ye Cheng has a system, and there's also this exclusive bait that sounds pretty impressive. He doesn't believe that something worth 50 points a set can be bad.
