Chapter 197

The name "ganhai da wang" is relatively unfamiliar to Ling Yue, but to the viewers in the live stream, it is very familiar.

He had recently joined the Tiger Whale Live Platform, and in his first broadcast he confidently patted his chest explaining why he called himself ganhai da wang: partly because his surname is Wang, and partly because his family's ancestral skill in gathering seafood would surely let everyone feast their eyes!

At that time, the sparse viewers in the live stream all believed it.

Next, ganhai da wang began his operation, his theoretical knowledge solid as he spoke and walked, then suddenly stopped, pointing at the big bulge with eyes shining: "Hey, I've found a sea haul!"

"Everyone come quick, in this first gathering seafood session, the goods have come to our door!"

"A great start!"

The viewers in the live stream saw him pointing at a bulge and suddenly felt doubtful—this was too fast; could it not be a human setup?

As a category in the life zone, gathering seafood still has quite a few fans; it once stirred up considerable heat, and many streamers, eyeing the traffic, rolled up their sleeves and rushed in.

But most of them are amateurs who know nothing; often they can't catch a fish in half a day, let alone spot hidden sand, so inevitably they develop crooked thoughts.

They have contributed many notable moments.

For example, a certain streamer gathering seafood dug sand, muttering with his tool for half a minute, then with one shovel strike a crab popped up, followed by a string of crabs; the streamer happily held up the crab, facing the camera: "Viewers, quick look, we struck it rich! I actually dug up a crab nest!"

The excited streamer's face flushed, while the viewers silently watched his performance.

After a moment, a comment flashed on screen: "This crab of yours is amazing, born with hemp rope!"

As everyone knows, crabs bought at the seafood market are tied with rope by vendors, after all, those two big claws are not to be messed with.

"Yo, this crab is poisoned and foaming at the mouth! And this build—clearly a freshwater crab of ours!"

"Streamer, we're not blind! That head bought at the market must have cost a lot, right?"

The streamer blushed with embarrassment and immediately shut down the live stream. Yet the clip became one of the top ten notable moments of fake gathering seafood streamers, and there are many like it—seems as if whenever a streamer reaches out, treasure lies everywhere on the beach.

But ganhai da wang is absolutely not one of those!

His explosive fame doesn't match Ling Yue's, but within a period he gathered millions of followers, and the number keeps growing, relying not on his superb skill but on his strange, strange luck.

Getting back to the point, for his first ever live stream, ganhai da wang was still a bit nervous, but relying on his full theoretical knowledge and years of watching others gather seafood, he was certain that something lay beneath this bulge!

Instantly excited, his face beaming, he pointed at the bulge and said: "Viewers, please pay attention—watch me, Old Wang, deliver the goods right away!"

"This bulge is big and round—surely a big haul!"

Speaking, he dove right in; shortly after he hit something hard, opened it to see—big haul? No shadow visible, just a tightly wrapped oilskin paper, clearly placed there by someone.

Ganhai da wang was bewildered; under the viewers' enthusiastic reaction he opened the oilpaper bundle, layer upon layer of plastic bags sealed tight, the semi‑transparent material letting anyone see clearly what's inside.

A large packet of snow‑white, shiny powdery granules made people shudder violently.

"Holy shit, could it be what I'm thinking?"

Their country is the one with the strongest anti‑drug crackdown in the world; a white powdery substance makes it hard not to think the worst, and as for the salt someone mentioned, your family's salt, carefully wrapped layer by layer, is secretly hidden on the beach sand?

Moreover, since the streamer arrived early, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and there were hardly any people on the beach.

Such a suspicious item, combined with the speculation on the live‑stream screen, left ganhai da wang stunned; his first reaction was to call the police!

He didn't know if it was drugs, but could the police not know?

Near the beach there are usually marine police; within five minutes of ganhai da wang's alarm, police arrived, and upon inspection the old officer firmly declared: "It's drugs! And a high‑purity new product!"

"Look at this weight—two whole kilograms!"

In the country, smuggling, selling, transporting, or manufacturing opium over one kilogram, heroin or methamphetamine over fifty grams, all incur the death penalty!

Not to mention this new drug, high purity!

The old officer happily patted his shoulder: "You've done us a big favor; contact the station later, the reward won't be small."

Ganhai da wang was sharp; he quickly realized this was a drug dealer's specially buried stash for trade via the live stream, he voluntarily offered to help find the person, the stream's popularity kept rising, and he easily located the shady drug dealer.

Afterward, one live stream boosted his followers by several hundred thousand.

This isn't even the most amazing part; the amazing part is that each of his streams he can gather a different variety—except fish!

The viewers jokingly call him the most improper gathering‑seafood streamer!

Seeing the screen full of hahas, ganhai da wang's brows nearly knotted; he looked aggrieved at Ling Yue: "Streamer, streamer, you gotta help me!"

"I really do love gathering seafood! Sincerely!"

The viewers in the live stream——

"Ah yes yes yes, we believe you, King—your first gathering seafood and finding heroin was an accident, the second time picking up a net‑love token that netizens mistook as a reverse chase was also an accident, but this time you really scooped up a big haul!"

"The comment above just dredged up my painful memories—I never imagined in this life that someone would gather seafood and drag up a corpse!"

"Good grief, don't say more—I'm about to piss myself scared!"

"Streamer, don't believe his words—this popularity luck is super eerie; I've never encountered anything like this in my life—others gather seafood for money, he does it for his life! The police station is practically his home!"

Seeing the viewers' remarks, ganhai da wang felt aggrieved: "Streamer, you must absolutely not believe them—my luck couldn't possibly be this weird; before it was all just accidents, accidents!"

"Don't believe me? I'll give you a live demonstration!"

He spoke confidently, full of assurance, while Ling Yue silently watched ganhai da wang, saying nothing.

He took her silence as consent, his gaze wandering the beach, while he shared his knowledge of gathering seafood, then suddenly shifted tone, excitedly saying: "Razor‑clam hole!"

The camera panned down and finally settled on the mouth of the hole; on the golden sand, a fingernail‑sized aperture appeared before everyone's eyes, and ganhai da wang murmured: "Razor‑clam hole, definitely a razor‑clam hole!"

With his small shovel he dug deeper and deeper, the hole growing larger, his eyes almost glowing with wolfish light, firmly believing he'd turned his luck around, he chuckled to the viewers: "Everyone look, today I've turned my luck—this is absolutely a razor‑clam hole; don't judge by the mouth, it might be a razor‑clam king!"

"Come, let me moisten it with salt."

Many viewers in the live stream were doubtful; some who had watched many gathering‑seafood streams were about to explain, but ganhai da wang spoke up: "Don't underestimate this salt—once I scatter it, the little razor‑clams will surely poke their heads out obediently!"

"Our salt simulates seawater high tide; the razor‑clams sense the tide and will come out!"

"I get it, this is a lure!"

The screen instantly filled with laughter.

A few minutes later, the camera still aimed at the hole showed nothing; ganhai da wang exclaimed: "Impossible!"

He sees others succeed every try, yet when it's his turn it fails.

"Razor‑clam king with hands on hips: hehehe, you thought I was a lowly clam from some backwater, never seen the world—well I'm not coming out!"

How cheap!

Friends, wait, I'll dig right away!

He hadn't moved a few times when the shovel hit something hard, the feel was right, ganhai da wang split his mouth laughing: "Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, look, a plump tender big clam king, I'm here!"

Saying that, he reached out and grabbed, with a splashing sound.

Under everyone's gaze, he held a half-dry, half-wet book, the scene was especially comical.

Fuck, it's awesome! Hahahahaha!

The clam king appears, make way! Dragon king's crooked mouth. JPG evil charming smile. JPG

Hahahaha, you clam king, you're really big!

ganhai da wang: "!!!"

His eyes were about to pop out, holding the book in his hand, he couldn't even cry: "Brothers, this is a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"

Host, you believe me!

Ling Yue immediately composed herself, laughing so hard her nails dug in, she scratched the tabletop, she nodded: "It's fine, it's fine."

Forget it, don't struggle, brothers, just lie flat and accept fate!

ganhai da wang spread out the book in despair, on it two kids building a snowman, as if also mocking him.

Mr. Lu Xun said: "If not to erupt in silence, then to perish in silence." He became furious, twisted.

He twisted his mouth and laughed: "Winter vacation homework!"

Whose child is this, how smart, burying homework in the sand—when the tide rises, wouldn't it get soaked and washed away?

It's really a pity—no, it's truly fortunate, to have met me!

He said while flipping the pages: "Zhang Xiaohua? Red Star Elementary School fourth grade, host, borrowing a bit of feng shui treasure land, whose child is named Zhang Xiaohua, Qiongzhou Red Star Elementary, the child's winter vacation homework is lost, a whole set—come claim it quickly!"

This sight, Ling Yue couldn't help but think, mean, too mean!

The livestream's netizens are all forwarding, Zhang Xiaohua, right? A childhood without winter vacation homework is incomplete! Brothers and sisters, united, we'll make sure you have a complete childhood!

What Ling Yue didn't expect even more was that the homework actually found its owner!

A netizen named Yinian Huakai chimed in: "Zhang Xiaohua, Red Star Elementary School fourth grade? Sigh, this seems like my grandson!"

I'll go ask.

In front of the phone screen, the old man got up with his cane, took his phone and walked to the living room: "Xiaohua? Where's your winter vacation homework?"

The little grandson sat on a small stool, the TV playing Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, watching intently, when he suddenly heard his grandfather's words, the little guy didn't know where to put his hands: "Ah, Grandpa, what are you saying?"

The old man squinted, slowly put on his reading glasses: "I'm asking about the winter vacation homework the school gave out—it's already vacation, why haven't I seen you take it out?"

Little grandson: QAQ

He forced himself to stay calm and said: "Grandpa, I lost my homework! Can't find it! I don't want to either!"

Saying this, he rubbed his eyes with his fists, squeezed for a while, but couldn't squeeze out a tear.

What he thought was, he had buried his homework in the sand, surely it had already been soaked by the water, now he could enjoy his winter vacation!

The old man slapped his thigh: "Good grandson, don't be scared, your homework—found!"

The little grandson froze, staring blankly at his grandfather, only to see him take out his phone, on which the host held his winter vacation homework, reading as she looked: "Red Star Elementary School fourth grade student Zhang Xiaohua, your homework notebook was dug up by me in the sea—come claim it quickly!"

Zhang Xiaohua's whole body swayed on the verge of collapse, the sky fell, the earth sank, his discarded homework grew legs and ran back!

He burst into tears with a wah.

The old man, seeing him like this, still couldn't not know the homework was his grandson's, he typed quickly: "Thanks, host, for helping me find my grandson Xiaohua's homework, I'll have his parents come get it later 【thanks】【rose】"

ganhai da wang waved happily, already able to imagine the child's heartbreaking scene, his smile grew brighter, he stood tall and said: "No thanks needed, borrowing the livestream netizens' words, I'm giving the child a complete childhood!"

Zhang Xiaohua: Thank you, I don't need it, I don't need it at all T^T

Grandpa waved at him: "Xiaohua, come over, thank the big brother."

Zhang Xiaohua: "Wuu wuu wuu~~ Thank big brother for picking up my homework notebook, I will definitely get revenge on you!"

Grandpa nodded in relief, then reacted: "You kid, what are you saying?"

Seeing this voice-to-text comment, the netizens all laughed loudly, ganhai da wang waved his hand: "Hehehe, you're welcome."

His gaze flicked to the screen, regarding some netizens' saying that he would never catch a living creature in his lifetime, ganhai da wang suddenly felt a pang of panic: "No way? No way?"

This has almost become his obsession; otherwise he wouldn't be camping in Ling Yue's livestream. Before he was still unconvinced, but now he truly feels his good luck, he really is convinced.

ganhai da wang turned his face, pleading pitifully: "Host, help me out!"

Ling Yue pursed her lips: "What do you want me to help with?"

Speaking of this, ganhai da wang involuntarily puffed his chest: "Host, you can communicate with small animals, right? Let's do an online clam digging—you give the landmark, I'll dig, don't worry, I'll release whatever I dig back into the sea!"

I am your clam-digging tool person!

He said while scratching his head, privately, he actually wanted to experience the fun of true clam digging himself—sea) luo) yin ah, corpses, homework notebooks—all get out of the way!

His proposal of online clam digging sparked Ling Yue's interest a bit; after a moment's thought, recalling the netizens' earlier words, Ling Yue instantly understood his meaning.

Coincidentally, she really hasn't gone clam digging before; trying it online once seems not bad.

Thus, Ling Yue nodded: "Okay."

Is it that I tell you the coordinates and you dig?

ganhai da wang nodded like a chick pecking rice; not to mention Ling Yue, even the netizens who heard the proposal were stunned.

Feels, seems, maybe not bad!

Wah wah wah, ganhai da wang's brain suddenly got smart— the host can hear and understand animal language, the places she points to definitely have animals!

Will ganhai da wang's curse be broken? I'm so reluctant (>_<)!

I think it's super fun, like opening a blind box— I don't know what blind box ganhai da wang will open!

In front of the screen, ganhai da wang is also praying: "Oh heavens, let me catch a living creature, no more octopus or big crab— as long as it's a living flower crab, cat's eye snail, tiny clam, I'll take it!"

In front of the screen, Ling Yue was also listening carefully; suddenly, she leaned forward, there was a sound!

Huh huh huh, so tired, finally found a suitable place!

I'm lying down, I'm lying down, I'm lying down!

Huh, what's going on? Why can't I lie down?

Ling Yue immediately spoke up: "Ten meters straight ahead, there's a little bump; go there quickly!"

Ganhai da wang instantly widened his eyes: "All right! I'm going right away!" My god!

Ling Yue still didn't know his inner monologue; she indeed heard the sound of a small animal, but didn't know what small animal was lying in the sand, its cute baby voice adorable.

Saying ten meters is ten meters, Ganhai da wang nervously measured with his steps; around ten meters away, he saw a swaying little bump, and exclaimed in astonishment: "Holy shit, there really is an animal!"

Host, from today on, you are my god!

The netizens in the live chat were even more excited.

【Wow, online sea-foraging is so exciting, Ganhai da wang, dig fast! Let me see what mystery box this is!】:,,.
