Chapter 369: Fighting Sure Is Expensive

"No, Lao Er, what's a consumption card?" Li Quezi was completely baffled.

This...

Whether there's a supermarket card now, Ye Cheng himself doesn't know, but Li Quezi definitely doesn't have one here.

Moreover, nowadays people pay by card, and they don't have that here either.

He turned his head and saw a small box of cards,

"Then you just use this card, sign your name, then whose it is, how much, and send it over."

"Ah, will that work?" Li Quezi looked at the box of cards; it was blank indeed.

"Just do that, I'll give you the money, I don't care about anything else." After saying that, Ye Cheng took out ten thousand yuan in cash and gave it to Li Quezi.

Seeing the cash, Li Quezi was no longer hesitant.

"Alright, Lao Er, rest assured, I'll definitely get it delivered." Li Quezi happily took the money.

"Well, I'll say this first: this money is yours for now, but you're not allowed to suddenly raise prices. If you pull that kind of trick, I'll just set up my own little stall, and when the time comes I'll steal your business—don't blame me." Ye Cheng said solemnly.

"How could I do that?" Li Quezi said a bit embarrassed; he really had thought of doing that, after all, since they definitely have to spend here, raising the price a bit would be normal.

Now that Ye Cheng had said it out loud, he felt awkward doing it again.

With Li Quezi's matter settled, Ye Cheng took stock of his own assets on the spot.

Savings: 175,000; external debt: 30,000; mortgage: 300,000.

The money should be enough; I estimate digging the pond for the crayfish will still cost a fair amount.

These few days my wound hasn't healed, Ye Cheng didn't go out to sea, went to town once and bought a new phone.

Speaking of which, the municipal bureau isn't exactly upright either.

My phone was lost, the boat broke, and in the end they just gave me a slip of paper.

Damn, you lot are still the sharp ones.

After Duan Yong and his crew rested a day, they started looking for people to dig the pond.

Ye Cheng, meanwhile, went to check the seedling room; all the equipment had been bought back, and temperature control and water changing could now be done by machine.

The crayfish have been fed well these days; fortunately, several females are already pregnant, and Ye Cheng moved them to a separate pond.

In a few days we'll be able to harvest the crayfish; this dragon industry is finally about to start.

After three days of rest, the boat was almost repaired, and Ye Cheng prepared to go out to sea.

Early in the morning, Ye Cheng checked the system:

Luck Value: 80+20

Points: 8500

Savings: 170,000; external debt: 30,000; mortgage: 300,000

With a Luck Value of 100, today should be a bountiful day.

Ye Cheng took Xiao Hu to the tidal flats and caught Da Huang; this guy is a luck booster, having him around brings some extra income.

Today Ye Cheng didn't go out to sea with Duan Chunsheng; Duan Chunsheng has been dealing with squid these days and is still asleep.

He plans to go somewhere else.

Just as he arrived at the dock, several purchasing bosses gathered around.

"Lao Er, I heard you pulled off that thing in Liu Village? Awesome."

"Yeah, we beat the little devils, did it nicely—damn, that feels good."

"And yet they still have the nerve to come knocking on Liu Village's door—truly they fear no shame to their ancestors."

Ye Cheng smiled faintly,

"This matter is over; the police will handle the follow-up, so we don't need to worry about it."

"That's not right." He Lao Ban said with a displeased face,

"This isn't just their Liu Village's affair; now other towns all know, saying our Shilin Township produced a traitor."

"Exactly, it's made us unable to hold our heads up—damn, from now on we'll uniformly suppress the prices of Liu Village's goods."

"Yeah, I was drinking last night and got laughed at a bunch—damn, it pissed me off so much I even punished myself with three drinks."

These people actually got so righteously indignant—Ye Cheng hadn't expected that.

He cupped his hands and spoke loudly,

"Everyone's so patriotic, I believe we'll also strike it rich later."

"That depends on whether Lao Er gives us a discount."

"Exactly, if Lao Er gets more goods, we'll have something to make money from."

After chatting with a few people for a while, Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu boarded the boat and went out to sea.

Da Huang was placed directly on the deck, letting it move freely.

"Brother, these purchasing guys are actually this patriotic—I didn't expect that." Xiao Hu remarked.

"Actually, most people are like that now; it's not the old society, everyone has a bottom line in their hearts—I just don't know what Da Liu is thinking, sigh."

Feelings are feelings, life is life.

This time Ye Cheng plans to go to the island where he previously hid from the storm—the same island where he ran into Da Liu and his crew.

Before, I saw so many scallops on the seabed; I don't know if they've moved.

Ye Cheng picked up Da Huang, stroked its head, and said, "Da Huang, want to go pick up scallops later? Hey brother, can you eat scallops?"

Da Huang tilted its head, seeming to disdain Ye Cheng's suggestion of eating scallops.

"Kid, you're still picky, huh."

"Fine, if you won't eat scallops, then go find something to eat yourself later."

It was just a joke, but I didn't expect Da Huang to actually nod—now I don't know if it truly understood or just happened to nod.

Brother, I think this guy has definitely become a spirit; I remember the older generation saying that when this animal becomes a spirit, there will be something good inside its body—shouldn't we stew it? Xiao Hu said loudly behind him on purpose, trying to scare Da Huang.

Upon hearing that, Da Huang didn't say a word, immediately retracted its five limbs, fully into its shell, not exposing anything at all.

This is hilarious, it made Xiao Hu laugh himself crazy,

"Holy shit, brother, look at it, this guy has truly become a spirit."

What nonsense, it just senses your malice; I'm telling you, if you scare the God of Wealth into not coming out, later you go find treasure on the island yourself.

This damned Xiao Hu.

Ye Cheng gently knocked on the shell and spoke softly,

"Brother, Xiao Hu is just an idiot, don't pay him any mind, I definitely won't eat you, even if you have an inner elixir, I guarantee, come out and have a look."

After saying all that, Da Huang remained completely still.

Ye Cheng was also helpless, gave Xiao Hu a glare, and continued to drive the boat.

It took over an hour to drive to that island; they had arrived at night that day, and they had truly never seen it during the day.

On this island there is a vast forest, lush and verdant, with abundant trees; I don't know if there are any vajra beings on it.

Ye Cheng found the bay where they had previously taken shelter from the wind, sailed in, moored the boat, brought Xiao Hu onto the island, and also brought Da Huang along.

On the beach there was a shallow layer of water; perhaps sensing the water, Da Huang finally stretched its head out of its shell and looked around.

After confirming it was the sea, it quickly stretched out its four short legs and ran into the water.

"Da Huang, don't run too far, we have to go back later, I won't eat you, don't worry." Ye Cheng shouted at it.
