Soon, two bank account numbers were transferred.
Chen Zhiyao's money was transferred separately to her account, while all the other money was transferred to Chen Weiqiang's account.
The dock was right outside the purchasing point, and there were many ships moored there at the time.
The town's dock
As soon as the father and daughter got into the car, Chen Zhiyao's phone lit up in her pocket. It was a payment notification; the money from selling the fish had been deposited into her account.
Looking at the 1610 yuan she earned, Chen Zhiyao was very excited. This was much better than working overtime and staying up late every day as a corporate slave.
I made over 1300 yuan yesterday, and another 1610 yuan today. In just two days, I've earned nearly 3000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyao patted Chen Weiqiang, who was still checking the information, with a smug look on her face.
“Dad, what do you think about me staying at home and becoming a fisherman? In just the last two days, I’ve earned nearly 3,000 yuan just from fishing.”
Chen Zhiyao's tone was full of pride and smugness, and the more she thought about it, the better it seemed to be to stay at home and go beachcombing.
She has a system for catching seafood; she's going to become the Queen of the Sea.
Without a second thought, Chen Weiqiang clapped and cheered:
“I think that’s a good idea. From now on, you can go beachcombing in the morning and come help out at the fishing tackle shop in the afternoon.”
"I'm going to check on the shop, what about you?" Chen Zhiyao asked, her face full of doubt. Her father was only in his forties, and he was far from retiring.
“Let’s go fishing. I’m a great fisherman. I’ll catch a grouper that weighs over ten pounds and bring it back for you to try.”
Chen Weiqiang had a good plan, but his daughter wouldn't take the bait.
Chen Zhiyao rolled her eyes and mercilessly exposed him:
"You still have a grouper weighing over 10 pounds? You usually go night fishing, feeding mosquitoes all night long, and you can't even catch a small fish. You should just stay here and mind the shop."
Her mother often complained to her that her father went out to feed mosquitoes every night, but he didn't catch a single fish and instead lost a lot of money on shrimp.
She knew all too well how good her dad was at fishing.
Chen Weiqiang, whose sore spot had been touched, became unhappy. "You unfilial daughter! I transferred 2,000 yuan to you for spending money just two days ago, and this is how you repay me?"
Back then, he caught quite a few big fish, but for some reason, his luck kept getting worse and worse, and he came back empty-handed eight out of ten days.
Chen Zhiyao ignored her father's tantrum and thought to herself that she would try to make money by going beachcombing during her rest period.
If I can earn more money than I did working a regular job, I'll just go back home and become a fisherman. If that doesn't work, I can always go back to Guangzhou to find work after the New Year.
She hasn't returned the apartment she rented in Guangzhou yet.
While Chen Weiqiang was driving, Chen Zhiyao closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but in reality she was checking her points.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: 1 (Beachcombing)
Points: 2525
Perspective range: 1 meter
Transparent time: 1 hour
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, and tongs.
Yesterday it was over 900 points, and now it's 2525 points.
Chen Zhiyao did some mental calculations and estimated that at her current rate of earning money, she could accumulate 10,000 points in less than ten days.
After closing the float, Chen Zhiyao remembered her father's catch of fish from the dredging pit that day.
She only dug up a big puddle and found so many good things; it seems like she got more than what she found by turning over stones.
Moreover, she has X-ray vision, so she can spot which puddle has good stuff before drawing it, ensuring a guaranteed profit.
Chen Zhiyao asked in her mind, "Xiaomeng, what do you think about me going to the sump to pump water?"
The halo in my mind flashed twice, then a soft, sweet voice rang out:
"Tangtang, your current field of vision is only one meter. A puddle is usually several square meters in size, so you can't see what's inside at all."
"I don't recommend you start pumping water now. It's better to wait until you reach level two before doing so."
“You’re right. The current viewing range is indeed a bit useless, and it’s quite a long walk to get to the rocky beach. The water pump is so heavy, I can’t handle it by myself.”
The light in her mind flashed again, "The water pump in the system is lighter, probably only about 10 pounds. Tangtang, you can buy a water pump in the system."
"I'd better not buy it. I'll wait until I reach level two. I can't use it now anyway."
Chen Zhiyao refused outright. Every time she checked the system's shop, she couldn't control herself. She was thinking about saving up more money to level up faster.
Going to the rocky beach or the beach to collect clams, like these past two days, is a pretty good option; you can earn over 1000 yuan a day.
However, she also had some doubts. She had been going to the beach to collect seafood since she was a child, and usually earned only a few hundred yuan a day, rarely more than a thousand.
"Xiaomeng, I've noticed that my beachcombing harvest has been much better than before. Is this related to the system?" Chen Zhiyao asked directly.
"Yes, Tangtang, after you got the beachcombing system, you got a boost when it comes to beachcombing, and your luck is better than before."
"Besides, don't you have X-ray vision glasses? You're much faster at finding seafood than before, so it's normal to have more stuff."
Sure enough, her current gains are still related to the system.
Chen Zhiyao checked her phone and saw that after a busy morning, it was only 11 o'clock.
Thinking it was still early, I quickly took another nap. I'll rest well before going beachcombing in the afternoon; today's high tide is great, I can't waste it.
When the father and daughter returned home, they smelled the fresh aroma of seafood as soon as they entered the house.
Chen Zhiyao took a deep breath, her little nose twitched, and then she turned to Chen Weiqiang beside her with a cheerful smile and said:
"Mixed fish soup, deep-fried small mixed fish, and stir-fried razor clams, today's meal is pretty good."
Hearing her daughter's voice, Yan Shuting came out of the kitchen. "You're back! Wash your hands quickly, dinner's ready."
"I'll go wash my hands now."
As expected, the table was full of seafood caught that morning from the beach, and just as Chen Zhiyao had guessed, it was mixed fish and tofu soup, fried small mixed fish, and stir-fried razor clams.
During the meal, Chen Weiqiang proudly talked about the money he made from selling fish in town earlier.
Knowing that the family had earned more than three thousand yuan from this beachcombing trip, everyone at the dinner table was all smiles and ate half a bowl more rice than usual.
Chen Zhiyao drank more than half a bowl of fish soup in one go, and then picked up two razor clams and put them into the bowl. She ate with great satisfaction.
"Today's harvest is really good, everyone hurry up and eat, we can go to the beach again later."
When the topic of beachcombing came up, Yan Shuting became somewhat unhappy, frowning as she spoke:
"You guys were spotted in the rocky area this morning, with big blue crabs and eels. People saw you, and when you came back just now, quite a few people were asking me about it."
"As soon as you left, a large group of people went to the rocky beach. If they go there this afternoon, there probably won't be anything left."
Chen Zhiyao didn't care, after all, the beach was unclaimed, and she couldn't stop others from going beachcombing.
"It's alright, there are so many places to go beachcombing in the village. Besides the rocky beach, there are many other places to go beachcombing, such as the white sand beach or the mudflats in front of the pier."
Grandma Chen chimed in, "A few days ago, someone dug up a lot of sandworms on the mudflats near the dock. We can go over there and take a look."
The mudflats that Grandma Chen mentioned were places Chen Zhiyao frequented when she was a child, where she often dug for sandworms. She knew the area intimately.
However, sandworms are fast-moving and hide in the ground, making them very difficult to dig up.
Chen Zhiyao thought to herself, "If only I had X-ray vision, but unfortunately I used up all my time this morning."
Just then, Xiao Meng in her mind suddenly spoke up, "Tangtang, you can borrow tomorrow's X-ray vision in advance."
Chen Zhiyao asked in surprise, "Can I borrow tomorrow's time in advance?"
"Yes, you can pay in advance, but if you pay in advance, the time will be reduced from one hour to 50 minutes."
"This is too stingy! They're even deducting my time. Looks like I need to level up soon; the time for this X-ray vision is just too short."
In the end, Chen Zhiyao decided to go to the mudflats first. If there were any traces of sandworms, she would use tomorrow's time; if not, then so be it.
