To be honest, I haven't looked at the system carefully in a long time. I just check my luck value every day and then I call it a day.
Upon closer inspection, I actually noticed something amiss.
A breeding system interface has appeared on the system at some point. Currently, it only has the skill "Basic Breeding Bonus", which increases the host's breeding speed by 30% and doubles the output.
Damn it, it really was the system's doing.
However, I like this ghost.
With this, raising crayfish at home can be accelerated.
Looking at the upgrade options, it takes 10,000 points to upgrade to intermediate level. Intermediate level increases output by 40% and production by 50%.
This is defying the heavens! I originally started raising livestock just to make things easier for my older brother.
It seems that one can become wealthy by raising livestock.
However, I still need to catch more fish. Right now, I only have a little over 7,000 points, and I still need more than 2,000 to level up.
Dry!
Just do it!
We're setting sail tomorrow, that's all for now.
If we upgrade this system sooner, the money will flow in like water.
Enough said, time to get some sleep and prepare for the next day.

Looking at his luck stat today, Ye Cheng jumped out of bed without a second thought and went out to sea.
Originally, they could have taken the motorcycle to the dock, but Duan Yong had taken it, so Xiao Hu had to pull the tricycle there.
I'll have to buy another one when I go to town, otherwise my legs will get tired.
I went to check on Big Yellow before I left, but it had already disappeared again. Seriously, does it only show up when two beautiful women are around?
"Brother, I heard you argued with the village chief again yesterday? Call me next time, I'll beat that old bastard to a pulp," Xiao Hu said as he pedaled his tricycle.
Ye Cheng glanced at him speechlessly, "Big brother, you're a man of some means now, can you please stop fighting all the time? Look at your own mouth, you're still not fully recovered from yesterday's fight, and you're already thinking about fighting again."
Let me tell you, fight less in the future. It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just unnecessary, understand? There's an old saying, "We're porcelain, they're broken earthenware pots; don't try to bump into them."
Xiao Hu's lips twitched slightly; it really hurt a bit from the beating he received yesterday.
"Tch, don't bother with their talk of porcelain and earthenware. If they dare mess with us, there's only one word: fight!"
This guy really won't listen to reason.
At the dock, quite a few people had already set sail.
Duan Chunsheng didn't come today; apparently, he went to help Duan Yong harvest shrimp.
With his son having such a career, how could he not be interested?
I have to help my son get the hang of it.
The two of them finished setting up the boat and headed straight out to sea. Ye Cheng didn't plan to fish today; he was going to the place where Da Huang had gotten pearls the other day.
There are several types of pearl oysters in China, the most common being Pinctada martensii, Pinctada salina, and Pinctada fusiformis.
Among them, the pearls produced by the Pinctada martensii are from the island nation of Akoya, and a single pearl costs several hundred yuan; the pearls produced by the white-lipped oyster are from the South Sea, and a single pearl costs three to five thousand yuan; the pearls produced by the black-lipped oyster are from Australia, and a single pearl costs two to three thousand yuan.
Compared to freshwater pearls, saltwater pearls are produced in smaller quantities, with only 1-2 pearls per oyster, while freshwater pearls can produce many. Saltwater pearls are also rounder and have richer colors, so they are much more expensive.
However, most pearls are now cultivated. Why is that?
Because purely wild ones are extremely rare, and because wild ones do not have artificially inserted kernels, perfectly round ones are very rare; most are teardrop-shaped or irregularly shaped.
The one that Da Huang Lao made is already considered top-quality.
Although they are rare, wild ones are not much more expensive than farmed ones. This is because, from a purely jewelry perspective, most people only care about their appearance; wild ones are simply more valuable for collection.
Ye Cheng didn't raise these animals, so he could only catch wild ones.
Trust Da Huang!
Trust the system!
Ye Cheng had already memorized the location from last time. It took him more than half an hour to get there. This place is neither near an island nor a bay, just a vast expanse of sea.
If it weren't for Big Yellow finding it here, no one would have known there were pearls down there.
The main task today is Ye Cheng; Xiao Hu just needs to keep watch upstairs. He was overjoyed when he heard about this task.
"What are you laughing at? Next time I'll buy you a set of equipment, and you can come down with me."
Xiao Hu's face stiffened.
"No way, bro, just give me less. I'd rather enjoy myself up there. I just didn't buy enough sunflower seeds today."
"Alright, don't just stand there. Get a deep net, I'll go down and scoop it out, you can pull it up from above."
Swimming and diving in the seawater is too time-consuming and energy-draining. Since no one will see him anyway, Ye Cheng decided to just dive for 40 minutes.
When the net is full, have Xiaohu pull it up and then lower it back down, saving time.
"Okay." Xiao Hu was quite happy to do this. He added a strand to the original net rope, making it nearly a hundred meters long, which was enough for Ye Cheng to do whatever he wanted down there.
"Well, keep an eye on things later. Remember to pull up when I pull the rope, or I'll pull for ages and you won't react."
"Oh dear, brother, why are you being so long-winded now? Don't you trust me to handle things?" Xiao Hu began to complain.
Ye Cheng gave him the middle finger, then went into the water with the net.
As soon as he got into the water, he realized it was quite deep; he couldn't see the bottom. "Damn it, is it forty or fifty meters deep?"
Ye Cheng swam downwards little by little. A jellyfish floated past him. He always had the urge to grab some seafood when he saw it, but after thinking about his main task for the day, Ye Cheng decided to let it go.
When Ye Cheng swam to a depth of about 20 meters, he was finally able to see the seabed. The seawater was about 40 meters deep, which was quite deep.
If he didn't have his own system, he would never have dared to go down to this depth.
As he sank to the bottom of the sea, Ye Cheng gently straightened his body and stood on the seabed.
The outsider stepped down, kicking up a cloud of mud and sand from the seabed. The tranquil underwater world was broken by this outsider, and several shellfish that had been foraging for food nearby suddenly shut their mouths.
Marble oysters mainly live in shallow waters during their juvenile stage, while adults mostly live in deep waters. Of course, the deep waters here refer to depths of less than 30 meters, not places like the Mariana Trench that are more than 10,000 meters deep.
Ye Cheng looked at the seabed. The water flow here was relatively stable, and there was a lot of algae and many small fish that fed on plankton. This kind of place was indeed suitable for shellfish to grow.
There were several seashells at his feet. Ye Cheng squatted down and picked them up. The Pinctada martensii were generally not very big, with the largest being only 10 centimeters long.
The plants under Ye Cheng's feet are all of decent size, the smallest being 8 centimeters.
Collecting seashells on the seabed requires no skill; it's all about one thing: collecting!
With one kick, I picked up a few; with another kick, I picked up a few more.
