Fortunately, the sea turtle didn't seem to mind and even seemed quite happy about it.
Ye Cheng bought some cheap small fish at the dock to feed it when he got back.
After arriving home, Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu 15,000 yuan, but Xiao Hu refused to accept it.
"Brother, this is too much. I'll take 5,000."
Ye Cheng insisted twice, but the guy just wouldn't accept it, so Ye Cheng had no choice but to give him 5,000 to settle the matter.
With this 45,000.
Ye Cheng currently has 115,000 yuan in savings, 40,000 yuan in debt, and a mortgage of 300,000 yuan (including interest).
With so much money coming in all at once, Ye Cheng was a little worried about how to spend it, since depositing it in the bank would result in devaluation.
After returning home, Ye Cheng found some iodine and applied it to the sea turtle's shell. He wasn't sure if it would be suitable for it, but it felt better than nothing.
Since the pond in the yard was ready, Ye Cheng planned to put it in there for a couple of days.
The sea turtle seemed hungry, constantly opening its mouth towards Ye Cheng and crawling towards the small fish.
Ye Cheng simply put the small fish directly into the basin and placed it in front of it.
This guy was having an absolutely blast eating like that.
With food to eat, Ye Cheng ignored him and went to take a bath.
When I came out of the bath, the basin was empty. This guy really has a good appetite.
But this guy had disappeared somewhere. Ye Cheng called out, "Brother, where are you? Oh, where's your turtle?"
It was just for fun, but I didn't expect that when I called out, there would actually be a response.
The giant sea turtle crawled out of the kitchen, carrying something in its mouth—a coconut snail.
"Hey bro, you're not still hungry, are you?"
The giant sea turtle slowly crawled to Ye Cheng's side, then placed the coconut snail on the ground and rubbed its head against Ye Cheng.
So well-behaved, almost like a dog.
Ye Cheng smiled and patted its bald head. "Okay, you can have it. Alright, I won't eat it anymore."
I was originally planning to cook it myself, but since they want to eat it, I'll let them have it.
Ye Cheng found a small knife, pried out the snail meat, put it in a basin, and waited to see the sea turtle eat it.
Unexpectedly, the guy didn't move at all, but just used his head to push the basin to Ye Cheng's feet.
What does this mean?
Do you expect me to cook it spicy for you?
Or should I slice it and add some wasabi?
Suddenly, Ye Cheng had a thought: something's not right. This thing isn't ordinary; it has some kind of intelligence.
It led the way when we were looking for someone last time, and it also led the way when we were looking for the box.
I'm not eating this now, but you keep giving me more. Is there something wrong with it?
Ye Cheng picked up the snail meat and examined it carefully. He squeezed it a few times and immediately felt something round and bulging inside.
Judging from the feel, it should be a pearl.
Ye Cheng looked at the sea turtle. This guy really is something. He even gives a pearl after a meal. He's quite generous.
However, sea pearls don't sell for much. Last time, 17 oyster pearls sold for 10,000 yuan, which works out to only a few hundred yuan per pearl.
This one thing is enough to cover the sea turtle's food expenses for the time being.
Ye Cheng didn't pay any attention and simply squeezed the pearl out with his hand.
Upon emerging, Ye Cheng was stunned.
this?
Is this a pearl? Or a kidney stone?
It's a not-very-round bead, about one centimeter in size, orange-yellow, and it looks a bit like bezoar.
Ye Cheng rinsed it with clean water, and the entire bead became shiny, with a ceramic-like luster, and there were fire patterns inside.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the Melaleuca bead that Mr. Cai mentioned before.
According to Mr. Cai, this one could sell for over 100,000 yuan. Ye Cheng felt his heart beating faster than he could have imagined.
However, he remembered that Mr. Cai had said that coconut snails do not produce Melo pearls.
He picked up the coconut shell from the ground and examined it carefully.
To be honest, he couldn't really tell. They were all spindle-shaped and yellow.
Who cares? As long as you can squeeze out a Melo pearl, even a freshwater clam will do.
When the giant sea turtle saw Ye Cheng take out the bead, it stopped bothering him and went to soak in the pool on its own.
We need to find a buyer for this bead.
Last time, Mr. Cai said it could sell for over 100,000. I don't know if that's true. I need to find some time to talk to Mr. Cai about it.
There was another matter that Ye Cheng also wanted to deal with, which was the bird's nest. Last time, he and Xiao Hu found the bird's nest on the island with the coconut crab, but they didn't have the right tools, so they only managed to get a portion of it.
We need to find something and go back again to see how much is left; these wild bird's nests are extremely rare.
After dinner, he called Xiaohu and asked him to find Wang Defa to rent the boat, the whole boat, so they could drive it themselves.
I really didn't want to bring Wang Defa along. That guy is cunning and shrewd; he might sell me out again sometime.
However, although he and Xiao Hu could drive a boat, they didn't have licenses, so Ye Cheng went to his older brother's house again and asked Ye Guowei to accompany them out to sea the next day.
Ye Guowei had a driver's license when he was young, but after he got married, he didn't want to go to sea anymore, so he stopped going.
Ye Guowei readily agreed to go sail the boat, and simply made a phone call to ask for leave.
Jiang Yunxiang then pulled him aside to ask a few more questions about the crayfish business, which made him a little worried, and he could only put it off for the time being.
Everything was arranged. Ye Cheng asked Xiao Hu to find two long retractable ladders to bring along, since they had suffered from not having ladders last time.
The next morning, Ye Cheng first checked the system.
Luck value: 70+20
Points: 4090.
Deposits: 115,000; Foreign debt: 40,000; Mortgage: 300,000 (including interest).
That's pretty good luck.
Ye Cheng had just finished packing his things and was about to leave when he saw the giant sea turtle suddenly crawl out.
"Brother, what do you mean by this? I have to go out to sea today, I'll come back to feed you tonight, okay?"
However, the sea turtle ignored him and just kept pawing at his feet.
"Want to go together?"
Judging from the appearance of the sea turtle, it probably wants to go together. If it wants to go together, then let it go together. It doesn't matter if there's one more turtle.
They arrived at the dock together with their older brother, Xiao Hu. Wang Defa's boat was already there, and Xiao Hu had the key. The three of them boarded the boat and set off. The sea turtle was lying on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and the sun.
"Acheng, where did you find this sea turtle? You should release it back into the wild," Ye Guowei said as he steered the boat.
Speaking of the sea turtle, Ye Cheng couldn't help but praise it a few times, "Brother, it's psychic. Last time I went underwater to retrieve something, it was this turtle that led me the way."
"Oh, it's a spirit turtle, huh?" Ye Guowei said with a smile. "Then I'll catch some small fish for it to eat later."
The sea turtle seemed to understand, and turned back to nod at Ye Guowei.
This made all three of them laugh.
While Ye Guowei was steering the boat, Ye Cheng gave a brief overview of today's itinerary, mentioning that they were going to the island where the coconut crabs were last time.
"Brother, you know that island, right?"
