Wu An plopped down on the ground.
Close your eyes, then open them again.
Then reach out and grab the handle of the water pump.
The words reappeared.
It's not a hallucination.
"Hello."
"The system."
There was no "ding" sound, and no response whatsoever.
It seems he can only figure it out by himself.
He saw the floating words right in front of him and tried tapping the luck value with his hand.
Introduction: The harder you work, the luckier you get. You can bless your work tools with your daily luck. At midnight every day, your luck will increase or decrease based on their performance. Your own luck affects the upper limit of the daily luck fluctuation.
Wu An suddenly realized.
Oh, I see.
It's true that the harder you work, the luckier you get; as long as you work hard, you can continuously increase your luck.
Conversely, if he doesn't work, his luck will continuously decrease.
He currently has a personal luck of 11 points and a daily luck of 10 points, which is actually quite good.
Another rebirth, another system!
Why does he always seem to get all the good things?
Was it because you were too useless in your previous life that God couldn't stand it anymore?
Lost in thought, he gripped the handle of the manual water pump again.
Add some points.
Luck value: 11 (9)
Item: Manual water pump (+1)
Add more.
Luck value: 11 (8)
Object: Manual water pump (+2).
Description: This is a manual water pump that requires water to be drawn before it can dispense water. With a bit of luck, it can dispense water simply by pressing.
(+2) turned gray.
The manual water pump has reached its limit. It's just an old-fashioned water pump; no matter how lucky it is, it can only pump out water, not produce any nectar.
Just then, Aqing ran over, saw him sitting on the ground, threw down the plastic bag in her hand, quickly helped him up, and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Wu An said, "I'm so hungry, I want to drink some water to stave off the hunger."
Ah Qing said irritably, "You forgot that this broken water pump doesn't work well. It's not even guaranteed to draw water with water pumps, and there's no water to draw now."
"Wait while I go next door to borrow some water to divert the water."
"It's so hot under the sun, let me help you inside."
Wu An pointed to the water pump and said, "No need to borrow it, I'll try pumping water myself."
Grab the handle and press down.
As the hand pump made a "creaking" sound, some turbid water flowed out of the outlet pipe, and soon the water became clear.
Ah Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, the water's out! The water's out!"
Wu An smiled too.
The cheat code seems pretty good.
Ah Qing suddenly realized and gave Wu An a thumbs up: "Brother, you fixed this broken water pump!"
"I didn't know you had this kind of job."
"I heard that Widow Zhang's water pump is broken. Why don't you go and fix it? You might make a lot of money."
Wu An was taken aback.
And you know what? It's a way to make money.
The approach is just not quite right.
Starting by going to the widow's house can easily lead you astray, wasting your energy and resources.
Fill the ladle with water and drink it all in one gulp with a "duang duang duang" sound.
The well water is sweet and clear.
It was also exceptionally cool, making him feel refreshed from head to toe, and he felt much more awake.
Give the ladle to Aqing.
Aqing also drank a large scoop of water.
After taking a quick shower, Wu An opened the black plastic bag that A Qing had brought and saw that it contained pickled vegetables, dried seaweed, and rice.
It's inedible; it has to be made fresh.
I rinsed the pickled vegetables several times with water, then cut the sea bass open, scored it, and marinated it briefly.
Let Aqing start the fire.
If you don't have a rice cooker, simply rinse the rice and put it in a bowl. Then, put the sea bass, dried kelp, and pickled vegetables in separate plates, and steam them all together in a large pot.
After steaming, the rice smells delicious.
Arrange the sea bass on a plate, drizzle with hot oil, and the steamed sea bass is ready.
Simply rinse the kelp, cut it into strips, mix it with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, and a cold kelp salad is ready.
Pickled vegetables are the simplest; they can be eaten directly.
Wu An and A Qing each held a bowl, eating silently.
After finishing the meal, Aqing rubbed her stomach and grinned, saying, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
"This steamed sea bass is so delicious."
"The cold seaweed salad you made is even tastier than my mom's."
"The pickled vegetables were steamed just right."
Wu An smiled and said, "Who said A Qing is stupid?"
That's quite a compliment.
In my previous life, I worked away from home but couldn't earn much money. To save money, I had to cook for myself. Over time, I learned how to cook.
He looked at the clean dishes and said, "Hurry up and clean up, I'll take you out to make money."
Aqing nodded, got up, and took the bowls and chopsticks to wash them.
As a result, he quickly ran back and shouted, "Brother, the water pump isn't producing water again. I... I forgot to leave the pre-fill water."
Wu An followed him out of the house, touched the water pump, and found that the water pump's luck value was gone.
He added a little bit.
After pressing it several times, with a "squeak," water was successfully squeezed out.
Another bucket of water was pumped, and the pump's luck points were completely depleted.
Wu An suddenly realized.
The luck that is blessed is equivalent to durability.
It will fall off after a while.
Luck value: 11 (7)
Luck is running low each day, so don't waste it; use it wisely.
We need to make money!
As the saying goes, "those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water." Living in a small fishing village by the sea, the first pot of gold naturally had to be earned by beachcombing.
A sand shovel for beachcombing and a fishing rod for fishing should be considered tools.
Fishing boats can perhaps be considered tools as well.
But now, he has nothing, so he can only take Aqing to the beach for a look.
The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge.
I'm not thinking about making big money right now; I need to solve my food and drink problems first.
There's no food at home, but we have enough water; we can't just drink cold water and it'll get stuck in our teeth.
Fortunately, this small fishing village by the sea has everything imaginable: sea snails, shellfish, crabs, big fish, and shrimp.
It's easy to find food and drink, and it's not difficult to get rich!
He glanced around the room.
It wouldn't be accurate to say the house was completely bare; there were even two straw hats hanging on the wall.
He pulled the straw hat off the wall, put it on his head, and gave another one to Aqing.
Just as I was about to go out, I saw two furtive figures behind a few coconut trees not far away through the window.
He squinted and recognized them as Lin Bin and Lin Hu, villagers from his own village.
These two are cousins, four or five years older than him. They don't have any proper jobs, they like fishing, and they can occasionally sell fish to pay off their debts. Among the young people in the village, he and Aqing are at the bottom, and then these two are next.
Oh, that sea bass was stolen from these two.
It's estimated that these two people returned to the "crime scene," discovered the "body" was missing, and came here to investigate what happened.
He rolled his eyes and led Ah Qing through the small back door.
No other meaning.
Quietly go over and greet them.
That's not excessive, is it?
The two walked around from behind the tree and heard Lin Bin and Lin Hu arguing. They didn't even notice them approaching.
"Have you seen anyone?"
"Why is there no movement from the Wu family?"
"How could the body just disappear in broad daylight?"
"Tiger, should we call the police?"
"no!"
“Wu Erzai died from falling while fighting for fish, but we can’t explain this clearly, and we’ll definitely be extorted for a large sum of money.”
"Old Wu is a good man..."
"But his son died, do you think he'll let us go?"
Lin Hu shouted in exasperation, and subconsciously turned his head, only to see a person with a cloth wrapped around their head like a "mummy" standing opposite the coconut tree, staring straight at him, which startled him so much that he let out a scream.
Startled by his shout, Lin Bin suddenly saw Wu An and jumped up, exclaiming, "Holy crap, a ghost...a ghost!"
Wu An drawled, "I died a terrible death..."
Lin Hu took a half step back, stared at Wu An for a while, and shouted with a ferocious expression, "Damn it, you bastard, you're still alive!"
Lin Bin gasped for breath: "That scared me to death! What were you doing?"
"Walking so quietly, trying to scare people to death!"
After saying that.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great, the person didn't die.
