Chapter 352: Stood Up by a Beauty

I see you're not here to eat, you want to eat people." Yang Liu glared at him, "I'm not free today, I still have overtime tonight."

After saying that, Ye Cheng pouted, "Damn, I came for nothing, can't even grab a handful on this street?"

Seeing Ye Cheng like that, Yang Liu softened a bit.

"Next time, next time I'll bring Xiao Rou along, I'll treat you to a meal."

Ye Cheng:...

"No, you're treating me to a meal, why call her?"

"To guard against wolves, what's the problem?"

"Eh..."

"I'm a proper gentleman, and you call me a wolf."

After saying that, Yang Liu was about to go in, but suddenly turned back and said,

"Oh, by the way, when you go out to sea, if you find anything strange, remember to save some for me."

"Got it, my great beauty." Ye Cheng replied helplessly, "Women, sigh."

Speaking of this, Yang Liu suddenly became serious, "Ye Cheng, you know? Our country's animal protection has many loopholes, a lot of things have been stolen."

"Stolen? What does that mean?"

"For example, some rare species, the neighboring island nation will sneak in and capture them to ship out; it's said they recently discovered rhombus-fin squid here, you know what rhombus-fin squid is, right?"

"Yeah, a big shell, I know."

"Don't talk nonsense, rhombus-fin squid is a protected animal, not just a big shell; it has great research value. We need to study and protect these rare species, understand?" Yang Liu said solemnly to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng now only sees the beauty, tossing animal protection aside.

Seeing Ye Cheng like that, Yang Liu spat, "What's on your mind? Can't you think of something proper?"

"Male-female affairs are also proper business." Ye Cheng said bluntly.

"I'm ignoring you, I'm leaving, remember to save something good for me." After saying that, Yang Liu twisted her waist and walked in.

"Damn, she ate and wiped clean then just left."

But what did Yang Liu just say?

The island nation came to steal our stuff?

Damn!

This damned island nation, really bad from head to toe.

Still think we're easy to bully, huh.

If I run into them, relying on my own means, give them a one-way trip, no one would object, right.

The goddess stood him up, Ye Cheng could only return to the village.

By the way, he checked the system:

Luck Value: 60+20

Points: 9100

Savings: 220,100, external debt 30,000, mortgage 300,000, later also need to invest 30,000 for crayfish farming.

This luck value is fine; tonight I should go out to sea for a try, night squid fishing also has a season, past the season even if you light up the whole sea, no one will come.

Upon hearing they need to go out to sea again, Duan Chunsheng, though a bit tired, still agreed.

Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu also said something, then went back to sleep.

Same old routine, around 8 p. m., the three arrived at the dock, got their gear ready and continued squid fishing.

"Uncle Duan, don't stray too far from us today, or you'll run into gods or ghosts again." Before setting off, Ye Cheng added a reminder.

"Nonsense, that wasn't a ghost or god, just saw a ship. Don't worry, I'll stick close to you today; if you have squid, I'll definitely have some too." Yesterday he only got two nets, making Duan Chunsheng grit his teeth in hatred.

Two boats set off one after another, the night sea breeze was cool, carrying the fishy smell of seawater, plus damp seawater; tonight the wind had more moisture, overall feeling damp.

Ye Cheng's target today is rhombus-fin squid, after all the price difference is huge; if there's something good, you definitely want the best.

So this time Ye Cheng led the way, bringing Duan Chunsheng to the sea area where he last cast his net yesterday.

"Uncle Duan, this is the area, it's up to your luck; I'm going to the right, remember not to go too far."

"Don't worry, remember to keep a distance from me, my light is brighter than yours; later if your squid come over here, don't cry."

"And my light is brighter than yours, pfft!"

"This old coot."

Ye Cheng drove the boat a bit to the right, then had Xiao Hu turn on the light.

The white light instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.

However, tonight's darkness seems thicker, the light's range is much smaller than yesterday's.

With the light on, everything now depends on the awareness beneath the sea bottom.

The two waited several minutes before a few scattered squid drifted over.

Not rhombus-fin squid, but lamp tube squid.

But having something is better than nothing; the two waited quietly.

Lamp tube squid slowly began to gather.

The gathering was too slow, Ye Cheng got a bit bored, picked up the walkie-talkie and tried calling.

"Hey hey, the one with the light on, can you hear me?"

This time a reply came quickly,

"What's with the light on/off, I'm your elder, call me uncle."

Ye Cheng smiled knowingly,

"Yo, uncle, this time you really didn't run far."

Duan Chunsheng gave a cold snort, "I'm not stupid, I already have a giant squid, why would I run far?"

"What? You have Rhombus-fin Squid?" Ye Cheng exclaimed, causing Xiao Hu to also look up.

"Yeah, over a dozen, you don't have any?"

"Damn! I said I didn't have any, turns out you lured them all over." Ye Cheng muttered.

"I said my light would work." Hearing Ye Cheng didn't have any, Duan Chunsheng was quite pleased.

"Fine, fine, just keep it lit."

After saying that, Ye Cheng hung up the walkie-talkie.

"Brother, does Uncle Duan have Rhombus-fin Squid over there?" Xiao Hu asked.

"Hmm, probably all the giant squid are over there today. Forget it, we'll keep doing our own thing—I don't believe they all went over to him."

The two waited a while longer, and indeed a few Rhombus-fin Squid swam over, but compared to yesterday, it was pitifully few.

No choice, seeing the time was about up, they both had to pull in the nets.

This haul brought up only half a net, estimated at about 200 catties total, with only ten Rhombus-fin Squid—better than nothing.

But after this net, Ye Cheng quickly changed spots; this place obviously had nothing.

Normally the rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish, but Ye Cheng chose to wander a bit offshore, though he didn't dare go too far, fearing loss of contact with Duan Chunsheng.

He turned the light on again, and the two crouched on either side of the boat like sea-watching stones, beginning to keep watch.

"Giant squid, grouper, bluefin tuna, big lobster, come on!" Ye Cheng murmured softly.

"Brother, what are you praying for? We're not in the deep sea, just the sea surface—there's none of that stuff here."

"You don't understand, I'm communicating with the above—asking for a high price and paying it back, need to be sincere with the above."

"Brother, I can't see any sincerity in you; I feel you're just begging."

"Get lost."

Besides, Ye Cheng's prayer actually brought some squid over.

"Holy shit! Brother, look quick, there's a lot!" Xiao Hu suddenly pointed at the sea surface and said.
