Chapter 67: Brother, what is a 4D movie, is it that kind?

~7 min read 1,314 words

When I said before that we were gathering seafood, you also said the same thing, saying gathering seafood had no future, and now? Ye Cheng retorted.

Xiao Hu scratched his head and gave a silly smile, "Seems like that's right, brother, I believe you."

"I need you to believe in a ghost?"

The two prepared six fish traps, and Ye Cheng put his exclusive bait pack in his pocket.

"Brother, where should we put this fish trap? The village entrance is too conspicuous, people will see it." Another hundred thousand questions popped up.

Ye Cheng had actually already decided on a spot during the day; the mudflat at the village entrance, even if no one saw him, he didn't want to go there because the water was too shallow and unsuitable.

The fish trap still needs a certain depth.

"Let's go to the back of the mountain to set the fish traps."

The back of the mountain that Ye Cheng mentioned is another road out of the village.

Actually, it's not leaving the village; it's going up the mountain.

Behind Baiyun Village there is a small hill not very high; going down from the mid-slope of the hill leads to the seaside.

But the seaside here is truly a seaside, unlike the flat beach at the village entrance; here it's mainly large stones.

On foot, there is only a very narrow path down, which is not easy to walk.

However, the seaside here has mostly deep-water zones; as long as you find a deep-water zone, you can lower the fish trap.

After confirming the spot, the two lifted the fish traps and went up the mountain together from behind the village.

Although it was already night, the two were still young and bold, feeling only fresh vigor in the wild, with no fear at all.

If it weren't for fear of being discovered, the two would undoubtedly sing a song.

The two followed the pebble path down to the seaside, feeling up close the power of the ocean.

The night sea appeared especially terrifying; waves incessantly struck the reefs on the shore, surging halfway into the air, then bursting with a slap, scattering countless tiny water droplets that fluttered in the air.

The sea wind whistled through the gaps between the reefs, producing strange howling sounds that sent chills down one's spine.

"Damn, even 4D movies aren't as real as you." Ye Cheng muttered.

"Brother, what is a 4D movie, is it that kind?" Xiao Hu had a lecherous look; without speaking, just looking at his expression you knew what he was thinking.

Ye Cheng knocked him on the head with a chestnut, angrily saying, "That kind, that kind, that kind, right?"

"All you know how to think about is that."

"4D, it's just one more dimension than 3D; D stands for Dimension, meaning dimension, got it?"

Xiao Hu looked aggrieved, rubbing his sore head; the feeling of being hit by knowledge was too painful, painful to the brain,

"How would I know English? What's a dimension got to do with me? But when are we going to see a movie? I want to see Stephen Chow's, the one about kicking a soccer ball."

Ye Cheng's heart stirred; yeah, after being reborn I can go see movies, I can repay the movie tickets I owe Stephen Chow.

But...

I already know the plot, so it doesn't seem interesting anymore.

"Alright, let's get to work; when we have free time, I'll take you on a motorcycle, bring my Dou Dou, and we'll go see a movie."

Upon hearing there was a movie to watch, Xiao Hu instantly became happy again, following Ye Cheng to look for a spot.

The wind was high and the waves rough; it was indeed a bit dangerous, but for the sake of money, we gave it our all.

Ye Cheng found a spot under a reef; it's a deep pit, not directly facing the waves, allowing the kids to calmly run into the trap.

After setting the fish trap and marking it, Ye Cheng took out his exclusive bait pack and threw it in.

Xiao Hu curiously asked, "Brother, is this bait pack any good? My second uncle said bait packs are important; fish and shrimp eat different things, what are you trying to catch with this?"

"That's your second uncle; mine is all-purpose, don't worry, it catches anything." Ye Cheng tied the rope, kicked the fish trap in with his foot; the trap silently sank to the seabed, quietly waiting for prey.

The two changed spots several times, finally getting all six fish traps into the sea; most of the spots Ye Cheng chose were those deep-water eddy zones.

"Alright, let's go."

The sea wind grew stronger; Ye Cheng didn't want to linger, and the two carefully returned uphill along the original route.

"Brother, when will we come to collect? Do we wait a few days?" Xiao Hu suddenly asked.

Ye Cheng pondered for a moment, "Just one day, I'll see the effect. Same time tomorrow night, then I'll teach you."

"Fine, then should we still go gathering seafood during the day?"

"Forget it, it's just individuals; going would be pointless, better stay home."

The two chatted idly as they returned to the village; in the distance, a night-waker rubbed his eyes, looked at them doubtfully, and muttered,

"In the middle of the night, where did these two go?"

After saying that, he shivered, felt a chill, wrapped his clothes tighter, and hurried indoors.

The next day, Ye Cheng woke up naturally.

First, he glanced at the system.

Luck Value: 40+20

Points: 23

Not bad, just unsure whether the fish traps placed yesterday are calculated by yesterday's or today's values.

Yesterday's Luck Value was 50, today's is 60; if they could be added together, that would be perfect.

But thinking about it, the system couldn't possibly be that stupid.

After getting up, Ye Cheng saw people occasionally pretending to pass by the door, also peeking inside.

Ye Cheng snorted coldly, "You're waiting for me, huh? Fine."

"Wait then."

He leisurely washed his face and brushed his teeth, skipped breakfast, rode his bike intending to eat at the dock.

Arriving at the village entrance, sure enough it was the same scene as yesterday, only fewer people, but still each person had a seafood-gathering bucket.

Watching Ye Cheng ride up on his bike, a group of people stood up, gazing at him eagerly, waiting to see where he would go to gather seafood.

Although they didn't gain much yesterday, they believe that if they follow Ye Cheng a few more times, they will surely discover Ye Cheng's secret.

However, Ye Cheng had no intention of getting out of the car; he made a ninety-degree drift and directly rode onto the road to Matou.

"How did Lao Er leave?"

"Is he not going out to sea anymore?"

"He did it on purpose after seeing us here."

"He just doesn't want us to make money; this person's heart is black."

"Bad, really too bad; the Village Chief was right, this kid is just a bad seed."

"And he's pretending to talk about some storm; it's probably just a guess."

"Exactly, Duan Shen, your Boat sank because of him; we can't take his money."

Duan Shen: "I already returned his money yesterday; why don't you lend me some?"

"Oh, the weather's nice today; let's go out to sea ourselves."

Seeing the villagers changing the subject, Duan Shen also felt bitter; the only one willing to lend money is still a bad seed.

These good seeds are not as practical as the bad seeds.

Hearing the stream of curses behind him, Ye Cheng couldn't be bothered to care.

It's not that I haven't treated you well; you all want to tear me apart, whoever wants to deal with me can do so—I won't serve you.
