Xiao Hu looked annoyed and aggrieved. "This thing is too high-level. I can't beat it."
"No rush, you can slowly chop him up. I'm going to Old Duan's house first. You can continue, continue lying there like a corpse."
As Ye Cheng spoke, he took the money and left. Given Xiao Hu's current skill level, he'll probably have to lie down several more times.
When we arrived at Duan Chunsheng's house, they had already eaten dinner. Duan Chunsheng and his wife were sitting in the house, not saying a word.
"Uncle Chunsheng, are you there?" Ye Cheng called out from the doorway.
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's voice, Duan Chunsheng and his wife were overjoyed and quickly stood up, replying loudly, "Yes, yes, second son, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Aunt Duan glanced at Ye Cheng, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, but she quickly covered it up and pulled Ye Cheng into the house.
"Come on, come on, second brother, have you eaten yet? Would you like some more drinks? I'll cook a couple of dishes," Aunt Duan said politely, while rolling up her sleeves.
Ye Cheng guessed that this person genuinely wanted to cook, and wasn't pretending.
He quickly stopped her, "No, Auntie, I've already eaten in the city, I'll bring the money over right away."
After saying that, Ye Cheng said to Duan Chunsheng, "Uncle, I had a lot of things to do in the city today, so I came back a little late, but I still managed to withdraw the money, ten thousand yuan. Take a look."
Ye Cheng pushed a thick stack of bills in front of Duan Chunsheng.
Duan Chunsheng wore a simple, honest smile. He was a little bewildered as he held the money, and all he could do was grin foolishly.
"Uncle, count them," Ye Cheng reminded him.
"Oh, okay, okay." Duan Chunsheng replied cheerfully, but just as he was about to count the money, he suddenly realized something, put the money down, and said to Ye Cheng, "Second brother, I trust you, no need to count it."
"Uncle, whether you believe me or not, you have to count it. I don't even know how much I've withdrawn from the bank myself."
You count the money carefully, and give me the IOU. Let's settle things cleanly.
"Okay, okay, I'll count them then."
Duan Chunsheng moistened his mouth with saliva and began counting the bills one by one, while Aunt Duan stood aside watching attentively.
Ye Cheng guessed that Aunt Duan was counting money with her eyes.
After counting twice, Duan Chunsheng stopped and smiled at Ye Cheng, saying, "Second brother, that's right, it's ten thousand."
Seeing her husband accept the money, Aunt Duan hesitated for a moment, then said to Ye Cheng, "Second son, thank you so much this time. Just consider all the things I said before as nonsense."
"Uncle, Aunt, we're from the same village, why are you saying these things? Besides, I'm just collecting interest too."
"Second brother, the interest you're charging me is so low, it's practically the same as not charging me at all. I know what I'm doing."
Duan Chunsheng was a little emotional and spoke very earnestly.
Ye Cheng couldn't handle this emotional outburst. He used to hate sentimental shows when he was a kid, and he still feels the same way now that he's grown up; it gives him goosebumps.
He quickly offered Duan Chunsheng a cigarette, effectively stopping the tears that were about to spill from his eyes.
While smoking, Duan Chunsheng wrote an IOU to Ye Cheng, stating that the money would be repaid in one year with an annual interest rate of ten percent, and that the money could be repaid at any time.
After putting away the IOU, Ye Cheng casually asked, "Duan Yong isn't home."
"Sigh, he said he found a girlfriend and went out to have fun. He doesn't have much money, so he just squanders it." When talking about their sons, all the fathers have the same tone.
"Isn't it normal to find a girlfriend at this age?" Ye Cheng said casually.
“A man needs a career before he can start a family. He’s still young. He should be working hard like you, the second brother. Why is he looking for a girlfriend so early?” Duan Chunsheng took a drag of his cigarette and coughed, feeling annoyed.
Ye Cheng neither agreed nor disagreed with this argument, just like parents in later generations: early dating was not allowed in junior high school, academic studies were the priority in high school, students should strive to take the postgraduate entrance examination in college, and then get married as soon as possible after graduation.
Without even a single romantic relationship in between, how can one expect to get married?
After chatting for a while, Ye Cheng got up and went home.
Aunt Duan chased after him again and stuffed a few pieces of cured meat into Ye Cheng's hands, which Ye Cheng accepted.
Back at his own home, the lights were still on, the mouse was clicking away, and the keyboard was covered in cigarette ash, which made Ye Cheng furious.
"Xiaohu, if you make a mess of cigarette ash everywhere again, you're not allowed to play anymore. This is your home, not an internet cafe."
Although he enjoys playing computer games and smoking, and even more so when he's playing computer games, Ye Cheng simply doesn't like getting cigarette ash dirty on the keyboard.
"Phew," Xiao Hu took a puff of smoke from the keyboard, kicking up a cloud of ash. "Bro, that's it."
"Okay, okay, if you say it's okay, then it's okay." Ye Cheng was speechless. "I bought some braised food, do you want some?"
"Brother, you eat it yourself, I need to upgrade."
Okay, definitely a teenager addicted to the internet.
Ye Cheng himself had been young once, so he knew this feeling, especially the first time he tried it, it was even more exciting.
Back in the day, how many parents would rush into the arcade, only to be met with a cacophony of screams and howls? Ye Cheng himself had been caught three times as a child, and he was used to it.
Seeing how enthusiastically Xiao Hu was playing, Ye Cheng also sat down in the back and watched with great interest.
Drinking beer and eating braised dishes while giving Xiaohu pointers is quite fun.
However, Xiao Hu's skills were really bad, and Ye Cheng shook his head repeatedly. "Xiao Hu, next time you should just choose the necromancer and summon a bunch of skeletons to fight. It's better than you fighting by yourself."
"No, I just think this bald guy is cool, he looks really tough." Xiao Hu stubbornly pressed the resurrection button and returned to the camp.
Ye Cheng checked the time; it was already 8 p.m.
He patted Little Tiger, "Stop playing, go and put the cage down."
You don't need to spend much time on these traps; just throw them in at night and check on them during the day. It's not much effort at all.
Upon hearing that it was time to get to work, Xiao Hu reluctantly saved his game, repeatedly telling Ye Cheng not to touch his save file.
Ye Cheng was speechless. "With your pathetic progress, you don't even have a single amulet or a piece of dark gold set. You might as well just delete it."
"Huh? What's an amulet? Are legendary sets powerful?"
Xiao Hu immediately transformed into a curious child, bombarding Ye Cheng with questions.
Therefore, Ye Cheng had to both direct Xiao Hu to fetch things and answer Xiao Hu's various questions.
Ye Cheng used the same six fish traps as last time. He originally wanted to change some more, but a few portions weren't enough. He had spent all his points on bait this time, and now he only had a few dozen points left.
It's only enough to change the bait for the fish traps.
The two dragged the ground cage out and planned to release it near the village entrance, so they didn't need to drive the motorcycle.
Around 8 p.m., the village gradually quieted down. The two carried the fish trap past the village entrance and arrived at the seaside.
The wind is a bit strong tonight, and it's making people feel chilly.
"Brother, just throw it anywhere, it's a bit cold." Xiao Hu shrank his neck.
