Chapter 65: Ye Lao Er, are you just messing with us?

Ye Cheng turned his head curiously and looked—damn, everyone behind him, regardless of gender, had taken out a Liqun and lit it.

Those who were inhaling kept inhaling; those who weren't smoking held their cigarettes up and bowed toward the sea.

Damn, they even learned this.

Besides, how do you know the Dragon King smokes Liqun and not Hua Zi?

Helpless, speechless.

After Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu finished smoking, they went down to the tidal flat and began searching.

The group of people behind them also followed closely down.

Centered entirely on Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu, within a ten-meter radius people gathered, each bending over and working hard on the tidal flat.

"Wow, a clam—I found a clam!" Aunt Niu happily scooped a clam from the tidal flat and held it up.

Ye Cheng was utterly speechless. "Clams, you usually pick them up when gathering seafood—why are you so excited?"

He lowered his head to look at the tidal flat; after just two steps he saw nothing but footprints—any traces of sea creatures had been trampled away. This is still the damned mudflat sea.

After much difficulty he spotted a small bump, dug with a shovel—and it was also a clam.

Alright, is this what a Luck Value of 50 gets? I accept it.

Seeing Ye Cheng also dug something up, the crowd got excited, each one started plowing the ground.

When they themselves gathered seafood, they used to discriminate a bit, but now they just dig hard—if this were a rice field, even the oxen could rest.

"Let's check that water pool over there." Ye Cheng, helpless, pointed at the reef over there.

As his hand just pointed, he saw a figure swoosh from behind him, legs spread, splashing mud all over Ye Cheng.

This is Li Yong; I didn't expect driving to be this fast, running in the mud is also this fast—must be from usually driving on dirt roads.

Li Yong rushed to that water pool, jumped in with one foot, and started feeling around, afraid someone else would get there first.

Ah!

Ouch!

Two cries of pain—Li Yong's hand was pinched up by a crab.

A cheap Stone Crab.

Li Yong, feeling unlucky, shook it off, too lazy to pick it up.

Ye Cheng opened his mouth wide. "This execution—point and strike, right?"

He casually pointed at another reef in the distance and said, "Xiao Hu, let's go to that reef."

Immediately, three or four figures lunged over, prying open the reefs; good thing the stone was hard enough, otherwise it would definitely have been split into eight pieces.

Several people fumbled around under the reef, but found nothing.

They could only stand up, looking at Ye Cheng with resentment.

Ye Cheng, helpless, stopped his steps and shouted loudly, "Uncles and aunts, please hear me out."

I'm not an immortal; how would I know where the seafood is? I'm just searching randomly—if you all follow me like this, I can't even gather seafood.

"Then tell us the secret."

"Right, if you tell us, we won't follow you."

A group of people were still speaking confidently.

Ye Cheng shrugged his shoulders, directly activated the Burst Skill via the system, then casually found two footprints on the tidal flat and dug; after a few shovelfuls, he dug up two clams.

He picked up the clams and said to the crowd, "Uncles and aunts, look for yourselves—it's just where you yourselves have stepped; you just need to be more careful, there's no secret."

Damn, it's just to slap you in the face so you'll know.

The group watched him dig, or rather dug from the footprints; now they're a bit doubtful—it seems there was no cheating, and indeed it's where everyone stepped.

"Don't listen to him—he just stepped in there himself." A smart aleck said this with a determined expression.

"No wonder, I said my stepped-on spot couldn't possibly have any."

"Too bad, Lao Er is really too bad."

Ye Cheng was speechless. Indeed, once a person has an idea in mind, it cannot be changed.

Since everyone believes themselves so much, fine—I won't pretend anymore.

If you say I'm a god, then I'll show you my nerves.

Ye Cheng pulled Xiao Hu to stand on higher ground, raised his right hand to shield his handsome, big Cassie-lan eyes, then pointed around randomly.

"Xiao Hu, I think over there there should be blue crabs."

"Also that water pool, I estimate there are lobsters."

"That reef, you see it? Underneath there definitely are black-gold abalone."

"On that tidal flat, with footprints, it's definitely the King Razor Clam."

The first sentence Xiao Hu still thought was true, so he walked that way—but Ye Cheng pulled him back.

Naturally, someone followed Ye Cheng's instructions like a ferocious dog rushing for food.

Ye Cheng continuously pointed out seven or eight places, firmly leading the villagers around in a circle.

"Brother, if you keep doing this, will they beat us?" Xiao Hu was a bit worried; the villagers' patience was dwindling, already starting to grumble.

Leading them in a circle isn't the problem; the problem is every place Ye Cheng points to has nothing.

"Holy shit!"

"Ye Lao Er, are you just messing with us!?"

Finally someone couldn't take it anymore, started pointing at Ye Cheng and scolding loudly.

"Uncle, I just feel there might be something there; I'm not an immortal, can I still guarantee it?" Ye Cheng spread his hands, "none of my business."

"Besides, I said there is; you can choose not to go—I'll let Xiao Hu go."

The villagers looked at each other, the situation immediately reached a stalemate.

Ye Cheng saw they had no intention of leaving at all; fine, you stay, we'll go.

"Xiao Hu, let's go, we're going home."

"Ah? Brother, we're not doing it anymore."

"If you want to do it, you do it; I'm leaving anyway."

After Ye Cheng finished speaking, he picked up his things and walked toward the village entrance on his own.

With so many people, even if I'm really capable, I can't find anything.

Xiao Hu looked at Ye Cheng, then at the group of villagers, had no choice, picked up his things and followed Ye Cheng away.

Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu left, and the other villagers suddenly had no idea what to do.

"What should we do? Ye Lao Er refuses to teach us."

"After tossing around for an hour, we only picked up a few cheap items, it's boring."

"Can't go back, forget it; this thing also depends on luck."

A few people there started to lose heart.

Duan Shen couldn't stand it anymore, stood up with a fierce expression and said, "We're leaving, he'll just come back anyway, he just wants this outcome."

"We'll stay here, watch how he does it; if he comes, we'll follow; I don't believe he can make money gathering from the sea while we can't."

Her taking the lead made the others who were just going along also start to waver.

In the end, a group of people just scattered across this tidal flat.

Dig hard!

The sand clams and spicy snails on the tidal flat never dreamed.

One day they would be carefully dug out like this, even those hiding in sand ten centimeters deep were dug out.

What disaster has the human world suffered to become so hungry and thirsty?

After Ye Cheng returned, he split up with Xiao Hu and went straight home.

Regarding everyone's this hardline tailing method, he had no good way to counter it directly, so he could only stall for now.

After returning, he first checked the chives and radishes he had planted.

The chives have already started to sprout, while the radish seeds only half survived.
