As soon as she got home, Chen Zhiyao immediately checked her points on the floating platform.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: 1 (Beachcombing)
Points: 472
Perspective range: 1 meter
Transparent time: 1 hour
Beachcombing tools: None
Seeing that the money earned from beachcombing was indeed converted into points at a 1:1 ratio, Chen Zhiyao finally completely believed in this beachcombing system.
Looking at the pitifully small number of points, he couldn't help but sigh, "I still don't have enough points. When will I ever have 10,000 points?"
At that moment, Xiaomeng's energetic voice echoed in my mind:
"Host, you can buy beachcombing tools in the system's shop to speed up the process of making money."
"But I want to save up my points so I can level up quickly."
There are two low tides a day. If she upgrades the system to the second level of beachcombing, the distance she can see through will become 2 meters, and the time will also become two hours.
That way she can go beachcombing twice a day, and her earnings will double.
"Upgrading and buying items can both speed up the process of making money. Why don't you take a look at the system first before deciding?"
"Okay, I'll go check out the mall then."
As she spoke, she opened the system's shop, where the items were divided into two sections: beachcombing and fishing.
Currently, Chen Zhiyao can only access the beachcombing page, which contains various beachcombing tools.
She only had a little over 400 points, which wasn't enough to buy much. Chen Zhi clicked on the sorting function, and various tools were arranged in order of price from low to high.
Sand shovel, 100 points.
It can be used to dig out shellfish from underground sand or rock crevices, and it will double the speed of shellfish digging after use.
"Time is money, that's great, and 100 points isn't expensive either."
Chen Zhiyao nodded in satisfaction and then added it to her shopping cart.
Shovel, 100 points
Used to flip rocks to catch crabs and shellfish, suitable for use on rocky beaches. After use, it doubles your strength, making it easy to flip large rocks.
"This is great, doubling the strength is fantastic, I definitely need to add it to my cart."
At this moment, a small dream flashed in his mind, "Host, the function of doubling strength is tied to the X-ray vision. Your strength will only double when the X-ray vision is activated."
"It's good that we can use it when beachcombing." If there weren't many other beachcombing tools available, Chen Zhiyao would have ordered them right away.
Multi-purpose clip, 200 points
Sea fish, eels, conger eels, crabs—it can grab anything. Once caught, the seafood can't resist and can only surrender.
"This is quite practical and suitable for use when going to the rocky beach. It can also be used to catch crabs at other times."
Chen Zhiyao added the multi-functional clip to her shopping cart with a flick of her wrist, completely forgetting that she needed to save money to upgrade her device.
Catch the net, 200 points
Crabs, eels, and all kinds of sea fish can be caught in one net. Once any seafood is caught in the net, it can't escape.
"This doesn't seem special, and it costs 200 points. This is outrageous! No way!"
Water bucket, 500 points
Seafood stored in buckets will not die within a day, even without oxygenation.
"Live fish are quite expensive, so this bucket is still somewhat useful. But it costs 500 points, which is too expensive. I'll buy it later."
She only had 472 points in total, which is practically a poverty.
Sunscreen: 800 points
Seeing the sunscreen that looked exactly like the gift set, Chen Zhiyao looked puzzled.
"Xiaomeng, didn't the gift set include sunscreen? Why is it in the store?"
"Sunscreen is a consumable item, and you'll need to buy more yourself once you run out." Xiaomeng's voice sounded noticeably guilty.
Chen Zhiyao glanced at the 100ml bottle of sunscreen provided by the system, her face contorted with swearing.
"This tiny bottle costs 800 points? Why don't you just rob it?"
"This is a high-tech sunscreen. Once you apply it on the same day, you won't get tanned no matter how strong the sun is."
Thinking that the effect was indeed good, Chen Zhiyao felt a little better, but she was still very distressed.
Ground cage, 1000 points
Water pump, 2000 points
......
As for the later ones, they were even more expensive, and she simply couldn't afford them, so Chen Zhiyao lost interest in looking at them anymore.
Chen Zhiyao planned to go beachcombing on the rocky beach after the tide went out in the afternoon, so she ordered a shovel and a pair of tongs.
After placing the order, she saw that she still had more than 100 points left, so she bought a sand shovel.
After all that, my points were reduced from 472 to only 72.
Chen Zhiyao clicked on the floating platform again:
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: 1 (Beachcombing)
Points: 72
Perspective range: 1 meter
Transparent time: 1 hour
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, and tongs.
The impoverished Chen Zhiyao sighed, "The items in the system are too expensive. I hope I can have a good harvest this afternoon while beachcombing."
Xiao Meng's voice rang out again: "Host, you've used up your X-ray vision time for today. You'll have to do the beachcombing this afternoon on your own."
Chen Zhiyao's smile froze; she had forgotten about it.
"Xiao Meng, you can try out things when you buy them at the mall. This morning's item is a trial, and the afternoon's item is for official use." Chen Zhiyao's voice was very flattering.
Xiao Meng blinked twice and said helplessly, "Alright, the morning session counts as a trial period. The host will have one more hour of X-ray vision time this afternoon."
"Xiaomeng, you're the best. From now on, don't call me host anymore. Just call me Tangtang. We're friends now."
Chen Zhiyao plans to cultivate a good relationship with the system so she can take advantage of it more in the future.
"Okay, Tangtang." At this moment, Xiaomeng was still very innocent.
Chen Zhiyao cooked lunch as usual, making stir-fried octopus, steamed clams with eggs, braised pork ribs with kelp, and a stir-fried vegetable dish.
"Tangtang, your cooking skills are getting better and better," Grandpa Chen said with a hearty laugh, giving his granddaughter a thumbs up.
Grandma Chen smiled and served food to her granddaughter, saying, "This octopus is really well cooked, the timing is just right."
"This steamed egg custard is especially delicious. My Tangtang is amazing; she inherited her cooking skills from me." Yan Shuting couldn't stop smiling, her face full of pride and satisfaction.
Everyone was very supportive, praising Chen Zhiyao, this amateur cook, to the point that she was practically strutting around with pride.
"With this great chef here, I'll take care of all the meals at home from now on."
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Tangtang." Yan Shuting smiled like a little fox.
Chen Zhiyao: "......"
Why does she feel like she's been tricked?
Yan Shuting still cared about her child, so she took the initiative to wash the dishes after lunch.
Going to the beach in the morning is quite tiring, so Chen Zhiyao plans to take a nap first and set an alarm for 3:30.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea.
When Chen Zhiyao arrived at the beach, she found that there were already quite a few people gathering seafood.
"The tide is only just starting to recede, everyone's here pretty early."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The village can't farm, and apart from beachcombing and fishing, people have no other source of income.
There's actually a lot of competition when you're out beachcombing in the village, since resources are limited.
The area at the end of the village where you can go beachcombing is quite large. To the right is a large white sand beach, and to the left, further away, there are large areas of rocky beaches and mudflats.
These are all great places for beachcombing.
The seafood at the rocky beach is more plentiful than that at the sandy beach and mudflats, and there are also more large catches.
This time, Chen Zhiyao just wanted to try her luck at the rocky beach and see if she could find some valuable big things.
Chen Zhiyao parked the electric tricycle on the beach near the rocky reef and couldn't wait to get off.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a baby sand crab digging a hole at my feet. The little guy was quite cute.
baby sand crab
At this time, the tide had just begun to recede, and there were a few seashells on the beach, the most common of which were clams.
However, they were all small, and the purchasing station would only offer them three or four yuan per kilogram at most, so the villagers were unwilling to buy them.
