Yan Shuting was naturally unhappy to hear that the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson had gone shopping and forgotten about her.
"Why didn't you say so sooner? I've been waiting for you to come fishing. Besides, your grandma killed a chicken and prepared everything early this morning, waiting for you to come back so we could worship the sea god."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Chen Zhiyao immediately apologized: "Mom, I was wrong. I'll definitely tell you right away next time something happens."
"You..." Yan Shuting had just opened her mouth when she felt the fishing rod in her hand sink, as a big fish had taken the bait.
"I've got a bite on my hook, let's stop here for now." Yan Shuting was busy fishing and didn't have time to pay attention to the father and daughter.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao hung up the phone, Grandpa Chen urged the father and daughter to go back quickly:
"We've bought almost everything, let's head back. We've had a good haul lately, we need to go to the Tanah Lot Temple to give thanks."
After paying the parking fee, the Chen family's "Peaceful Vehicle" quickly started moving again.
Chen Zhiyao was lying lazily on the sofa, seemingly resting with her eyes closed, but her consciousness had already entered the system.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and to match the occasion, the system has specially changed the page to red, making it look very festive.
As soon as she entered, Xiaomeng greeted her with a smile:
"The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. To thank our host, from today until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, everything in the store will be 12% off."
"Furthermore, there's a buy-one-get-one-half-price promotion during the Chinese New Year. If you buy two of the same items, the second one will be discounted by 50% on top of the 8.8% discount."
The two promotions combined offer a pretty good discount.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up at first, but after doing a quick mental calculation, she realized she didn't have enough points to buy two diving suits, so she immediately changed her tune and complained:
"Xiaomeng, you're so stingy! It's Chinese New Year, can't you just give me a 20% discount?"
Xiaomeng refused her unreasonable request:
"No, this was set in advance and cannot be changed. Besides, with the 8.8% discount plus the second item at half price, it's already a great deal."
Chen Zhiyao was just asking, and she wasn't angry when she was rejected. She opened the points page with a worried look on her face.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 3, Beachcombing Level 3 (All unlocked)
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 50 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: Three hours each on land and in the sea area per day. (Can be accumulated or paused.)
After checking her points, she went to the system's shop.
Diving suit, points system (12% off during Chinese New Year, and the second item is half price)
The materials used in diving equipment are all high-tech, making them particularly lightweight and wear-resistant. A complete set of equipment weighs only about one pound.
Moreover, the specially designed oxygen cylinders can support free breathing in the sea for two hours.
Xiaomeng was worried that Chen Zhiyao would be stingy and unwilling to buy a diving suit, so she specifically explained to her:
"Just like the lucky fishing rod, this diving suit also counts towards your points for any seafood you catch while wearing it."
Chen Zhiyao really liked this feature. With this diving suit, her dad could go into the sea to catch seafood and earn points.
She also noticed that the diving suit came with a free gift: a headlamp for use underwater.
She had originally planned to buy two wetsuits, but now with the promotion and free gifts, she was even more tempted.
Chen Zhiyao added two diving suits directly to her shopping cart, which cost a total of points.
However, she doesn't have enough points yet; she's still 1287 short.
At that moment, she thought of her mother fishing at the dock. She had caught several big fish, which should be worth at least 1300.
Chen Zhiyao thought happily that her mother had caught more than 2,000 fish by herself yesterday, so bringing back 1,300 fish now would definitely not be a problem.
On the way back, Chen Zhiyao kept encouraging her mother in her heart, hoping that she would catch more big fish.
There's a buy-one-get-one-half-price promotion right now, whether I can take advantage of it depends on how much my mom helps me.
Before the fishing boat even docked, Chen Zhiyao was already looking around anxiously for Yan Shuting.
Once they found the person, they rushed over like a gust of wind.
"Mom, how was the harvest today?"
"The fishing was exceptionally good today. It's a shame you didn't come back sooner. I caught several groupers and quite a few golden pomfret as well."
Chen Zhiyao looked down at the bucket at her mother's feet. Inside were two large green grouper weighing seven or eight pounds each, a pearl grouper weighing about ten pounds, and several other large golden pomfret.
"You had a good day."
Looking at the catch, Chen Zhiyao felt certain that she had her desired diving suit; it would definitely cost more than 1,300.
Yan Shuting, who was still walking the fish, looked smug. "That's not all. There's also a 15-pound wavy grouper in the fish basket below."
"Mom, you're amazing." Chen Zhiyao smiled obsequiously.
Grandpa Chen, fearing his wife would nag him again, quickly urged his granddaughter to go back together:
"Tangtang, we still have to go to the Temple of Poseidon. Let's go home!"
Yan Shuting was walking the fish at that moment, and glanced at her daughter with a perfunctory expression:
"Then you go first, I'll fish for a while longer."
"Okay, I'll head back now. Good luck, try to catch a few more big ones."
Chen Zhiyao was hoping to earn more points with her mother's help.
When the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson returned home, they were nagged for quite a while by Grandma Chen, who had been waiting for them for a long time.
Chen Zhiyao had originally planned to go to the Sea God Temple after dinner, but the old lady glared at her.
The three of them had just taken the offerings when they were immediately kicked out of the house.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was devoutly fulfilling her vow at the Sea God Temple, Yan Shuting walked happily towards the village's purchasing station under the moonlight.
Here's a picture of the beach at night.
Although the moonlight wasn't very bright tonight, the beach in the village still looked quite beautiful under the lights.
However, Yan Shuting, who was focused on making money by selling fish, had no time to appreciate the scenery and rushed to her second uncle's purchasing station.
She arrived early today and caught even more fish than yesterday, earning a total of 2,680 yuan.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao stepped out of the Sea God Temple, Xiao Meng in her mind excitedly said:
"Tangtang, you've gained 2680 points! You can buy those two diving suits now!"
Upon hearing Xiaomeng's words, Chen Zhiyao immediately ran home.
As soon as she entered the house, she quickly hid in her room and placed an order for the two wetsuits she had just added to her shopping cart.
The original 27,793 points suddenly became 1,393 points.
Although her points were back to square one overnight, Chen Zhiyao was still quite happy.
"The discounts during the Chinese New Year are quite substantial, with an 8.8% discount plus a buy-one-get-one-half-price deal, which makes it 40% cheaper."
She was already thinking to herself that she should take advantage of the last two days before the Lunar New Year to earn more points and take advantage of the system's benefits.
Thinking about being able to go into the sea to catch small lobsters and large abalone tomorrow, Chen Zhiyao was still a little excited at night.
