Yesterday, after a long day of fishing and beachcombing, Chen Zhiyao slept very soundly and peacefully.
She even had sweet dreams while she was sleeping.
Chen Zhiyao was on a huge cruise ship, and at this moment, she was working hard to reel in a fish.
The pull on the fishing rod was ridiculously strong, a force she had never experienced before, even stronger than that of the 28-pound giant sea bass.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao was extremely excited. The intense pulling sensation made her whole body tremble, and the corners of her mouth turned up wildly, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Not long after, she caught a giant grouper weighing over 30 kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao was happily posing for a photo with a grouper that was about the same size as her when, unexpectedly, the big guy suddenly started struggling violently.
With a powerful flick of its tail, the grouper broke free from her embrace and jumped back into the sea.
Chen Zhiyao watched helplessly as the giant grouper disappeared before her eyes, feeling as if her whole world had collapsed.
"My grouper."
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao in reality shouted and then woke up groggily.
"This nightmare is too terrible. A 30-pound grouper actually got away."
If such a large grouper were to escape from her grasp, Chen Zhiyao would probably be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat for two days.
This incredibly realistic nightmare left Chen Zhiyao feeling depressed and listless.
Thinking about how much money she made fishing at sea yesterday, she had no interest in going beachcombing now.
Chen Zhiyao lazily rolled over on the bed, then went back to sleep without a care in the world.
Chen Zhiyao fell asleep again and soon had another dream.
However, this time she returned to the freshwater island from yesterday, and even encountered a group of three-knife fish on the rocky beach.
She caught one after another three-knife fish weighing over a pound each.
In no time, the bucket was overflowing with live fish.
Chen Zhiyao, still half asleep, giggled foolishly, "So many three-knife fish, how much can this sell for?"
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhiyao was awakened by the golden sunlight shining on her face.
"Sleeping until you naturally wake up is still the most comfortable."
Chen Zhiyao unconsciously rubbed against the pillow, then rolled around on the bed several times in a good mood.
Hearing voices downstairs, it turned out to be Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting returning from their early morning beachcombing trip.
She stretched and leisurely walked to the window, then pulled the curtains, which weren't fully drawn, open completely.
The warm winter sun shone through the window, making the whole room bright and cozy, and my mood improved a bit as well.
As Chen Zhiyao came down the stairs, she unsurprisingly received a disapproving look from her mother.
After complaining, Yan Shuting started to berate her daughter:
"Look at you, you don't do any work, all you do is sleep. You don't get up until after 9 o'clock. What child is as lazy as you?"
Grandma Chen, standing to the side, smiled and spoke up for her granddaughter:
"We were out at sea all day yesterday, so I guess we're exhausted. Besides, the kids are sleep-deprived."
"That's right, Grandma is still the best to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhiyao even gave her mother a defiant look, oblivious to her own mortality, before being kicked by Yan Shuting.
Her initial arrogance immediately deflated, and Chen Zhiyao, who dared not speak out, could only go to the kitchen to find breakfast.
Grandma Chen smiled slightly as she watched the mother and daughter playfully bickering.
All the seafood that had accumulated during the previous typhoon has been eaten up, so today's breakfast consisted only of sweet potato porridge and salted duck eggs.
Seeing her daughter dawdling over her meal, Yan Shuting, who was usually very energetic, couldn't stand it anymore and urged her to finish quickly so she could go to the convenience store later.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
She agreed verbally, but what Chen Zhiyao was thinking was: "All you do is order me around."
"The delivery guy should be here soon. While you're at it, could you please organize the packages into the warehouse?"
"Alright, I've got it."
Chen Zhiyao realized that she hadn't worn makeup in a long time since she returned to Baisha Village, so she specially put on an antique-style makeup before going out.
She wore leaf-shaped antique-style earrings and an antique-style hair accessory.
Chen Zhiyao has fair and rosy skin, an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and round almond eyes, giving her the air of a refined lady from ancient times.
Tangtang in ancient style
Before leaving the house, she noticed the nearly empty bottle and remembered she needed to buy sunscreen.
The sunscreen that came with the gift set was only 100ml, which is really not enough.
The convenience store is usually not very busy. At this moment, Chen Zhiyao is sitting lazily at the cashier, but her consciousness has already entered the system.
Upon opening the system, the latest points information is displayed:
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: 2 (Tidal Bouncing)
Points:
Perspective range: 2 meters
Transparent time: 2 hours
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, multi-tool, spade, and two buckets for live fish.
Seeing that she had 10,000 points, Chen Zhiyao happily opened the system's shop.
"The sunscreen costs 800 points, which is a bit pricey, but the effect is undeniable. I'll take two bottles."
"This fish trap costs 1000 points, but it also comes with 10 special baits. Maybe you can catch something good. Let's try it."
"This water pump looks good, but it's a bit expensive. I'll add it to my cart first."
"This sun-protective clothing looks nice, but it's a bit expensive."
"This lucky fishing rod looks pretty good, it's just a pity that the fishing section hasn't been unlocked yet, so I can't buy it for now."
Chen Zhiyao stared intently at the description of the Lucky Fishing Rod, her heart itching with desire to add it to her possession.
However, when I scrolled down to the bottom and saw that it required 20,000 points, I immediately lost interest.
"This is way too expensive."
Although these points are not real money, everything in the system is extremely expensive, and the points required to unlock items are ridiculously high.
She usually earns a lot of money from beachcombing, but she uses up her points very quickly.
In the end, Chen Zhiyao only bought a bottle of sunscreen and a floor cage, and then hurriedly closed the online store.
She actually wanted to buy another bottle of sunscreen for her mother, but the sunscreen was so effective that she didn't dare to give it to her.
Just as I logged out of the system, a hearty laugh came from the doorway:
"Tangtang is growing more and more beautiful. If she were outside, I wouldn't even recognize her."
Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw that it was Aunt Lotus from the end of the village.
"Auntie Lotus, you still look as young and beautiful as you did a few years ago."
"Young lady, you have such a sweet tongue. Let's stop flattering each other here. Get me a 20-pound bag of rice and a bottle of peanut oil, the best of both worlds."
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away." Chen Zhiyao got up and went to the shelf to get the item.
When I came back, I found that Aunt Lotus had picked out some snacks that children like to eat, which looked like she was getting them for her grandchildren.
After Aunt Lotus left, Chen Zhiyao was left alone in the shop again. She spent almost the entire morning playing on her phone.
Many villagers have gone out to work or do business, so the small shop is not doing much business, with only one or two people coming to buy things occasionally.
She was so relaxed that she even had the illusion that she was living a retired life ahead of schedule.
"But like now, I can sleep until I naturally wake up every day, take a walk on the beach in the morning and evening, and work at the convenience store during the day. This kind of life is quite comfortable."
Chen Zhiyao even secretly envied her mother.
