Chapter 9: Two Buckets

n said, then dragged over a basin, asking Zhao Qin to pour all the clams from the bucket into it. He wanted to see if the quality was the same top and bottom, and to rinse off the sand by the way.……Th...They came to the beach on the west side of the village. There were almost no lights here, and occasionally there were lights far away, which were probably from fishing boats working at night. 。"Don't go too far down, otherwise the tide will come up in a while, let's just look around here." 。This area is a mixture of mud and sand. The ground here is somewhat soft, so you could easily sink your shoes into the mud. Zhao Qin didn't want to go any further down because the mud would be even deeper below. 。"What's in here" Zhao Qin said, handing a shovel from the bucket to Ahe. 。

The two of them searched, one person on each side, heads down.

In a short while, Zhao Qin was overjoyed because there were many holes under his feet, and the openings had fine sand flowing out of them like small blades of grass or little piles of excrement. 。

"Brother, did you find anything"

"There's a clam burrow, I'll dig it up"

It's all the original owner's fault, this beachcomber was too useless. So Zhao Qin couldn't tell the difference between kinds of caves, just thinking it was another clam burrow. 。After digging for a while, the shovel head suddenly picked up a soft worm, light red all over, about ten centimeters long. 。"Wow, the earthworms at the beach are so fat." 。“Zhao Qin couldn’t help but exclaim, This thing is too familiar for a fisherman!” 。"Wow, it's a sandworm" 。"Ahe crouched down, grasped it in his hand and rubbed it casually before handing it to Zhao Qin. "Brother, this isn't an earthworm, it's a sand worm. Take a look." 。Zhao Qin took it over, and it was amazing. Just now it looked soft like a worm, but now it had become very short, slightly thinner than his little finger, and hard. 。"Brother, you are not wrong either, this is also called a sea worm" 。"Want to come fishing" Zhao Qin asked. 。"That's such a waste, this is very expensive" 。Hearing that it was expensive, Zhao Qin's eyes lit up: "How much per catty" "I've never sold it before, so I don't know. Anyway, it's pretty expensive, probably more expensive than the razor clams we dug yesterday." 。I heard that this thing can help with erectile dysfunction, and many big bosses like it. 。Zhao Qin thought for a moment and said, perhaps today's good luck from the system just had to fall on this little thing. 。"Then what are we waiting for, this whole area seems like it is, dig!" 。“This cave was too dense, so there was no need for the two of them to dig holes. They simply flipped through the layers.” 。"Brother, I've never eaten this stuff before. You dug so much, why don't you leave some for us to try" "We're both young and single, aren't you afraid of not being able to sleep after eating it" 。"Ahe fell silent, and after a while spoke in a low voice: “I wanted to save some for myself, so I could taste it…” 。Zhao Qin smiled, "This is doable, I'll leave you a couple of pounds at that time." 。Thank you, brother. 。"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get it done. Let's finish digging this area before dawn. It's a good thing we didn't go down there; the tide shouldn't reach this part." 。The sand is sticky, it's not as easy to dig as yesterday's beach. Luckily, we ate ramen noodles, and since we are both young guys, as long as we aren't hungry, we won't be soft. 。Besides mosquitoes, there are also flies at the beach. These things bite even more painfully than mosquitoes. A-he was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt, and every time he dug a few shovelfuls of sand, he would swat at his body. 。

"Brother, you are so smart"

Seeing that Zhao Qin was fine, Ahe said with a little displeasure: 。"Next time you do this, at night when you go crabbing again, you can spray some perfume first, that way the effect will be even better. " 。"Brother, how many jin have you dug up" "I don't know, half a bucket. Hurry up and dig, if it gets light before we finish, then it won't be ours." 。"Yeah, yeah " 。"Zhao Qin was quite glad that this body wasn't completely useless; it had even given him a decent little follower. If he were alone at night, he might dare venture out, but digging all by himself would be too tedious." 。Fishermen are bold, as long as there are fish, they can sit on a grave and fish all night. 。"Take a break, have some water." 。"After bending over and digging for two hours, both of them were getting tired. They didn't care if the ground was dirty or not, so they just sat down on their butts and took out their water bottles to drink." 。After resting for more than ten minutes, the two continued 。As dawn broke, the sandworm holes became scarcer. Earlier, they could dig up three worms with every two shovels, but now even after digging dozens of shovels, they struggled to find a single one. They straightened their backs and stretched, then looked around.For hours, they had flipped over thousands of square meters of land, but... 。Looking at the "Luck" column in the system, seeing the last point of luck emptied, he threw his shovel and said to Ah He: "Stop digging, there's none left." 。The system's luck value has now become: 493 0 。

That's not right, I dug for ages and only got 300 Looking at the two buckets beside me, there must be more than 300!

Lightly tap the panel, and a prompt appears at the top: "Single species, maximum lucky value increase of 300 points per day" 。Damn, there's actually a limit. 。...And the "Honor Points" column became: 50 ... 。This also shows that the system determines that sandworms are more valuable than clams dug yesterday. 。In the system, besides the shovel, the cheapest tool is the pickaxe, which costs 100 merit points. It seems like I need to find two more things before I can unlock new tools. 。"Bro, my waist is about to break." 。Where does a child get their waist from 。Zhao Qin patted her waist and walked a few steps upward. She found a dry spot and sat down again. 。My lower back aches, and my right index finger feels like it can't straighten. My whole arm is sore too. 。Ahe walked over to him, sprawled out on the ground, and mumbled: "Damn it, money is really hard to earn." 。The seawater in the distance began to recede slowly, and dawn broke. People rushed towards the beach, curious about the two figures. 。"Well, well, to see you both digging around the beach this late at night is quite a surprise." 。"The visitor came in with a joke." 。Both were so tired that they didn't even want to speak. If this had been usual, they would have definitely exchanged a few sarcastic remarks. 。"Damn, what are these two buckets Sand worms! You guys dug up so many sand worms, right here" As this shout rang out, people from a distance also heard it and ran over: "My God, so many sand worms, how much would this be worth..." 。"What did you guys dig up You guys must be on a lucky streak, clams yesterday and sand worms today." 。Some people were still pointing at the two buckets of sandworms, while others had already started digging. They dug along the edge where they were digging, and naturally they didn't find anything except a few clams. 。"Aqin, there are so many, can you get me two catties to take back and have a meal It just so happens that my waist has been bothering me lately." 。Speaking was Zhao Qin's cousin, named Zhao Haidong. The two families didn't interact much; the other family was wealthier than his own. It wasn't until Zhao Qin got into university that Zhao Haidong treated his family as close relatives. As soon as Zhao Qin dropped out of school, he immediately drew a line between them, afraid of being associated with their family in any way. 。When Zhao Haidong asked for sandworms, Zhao Qin simply pointed to the beach: "There are plenty, dig them yourself." 。Zhao Haidong's face darkened, he snorted coldly, mumbling something about just getting lucky with dog **, Zhao Qin didn't even bother to pay attention to him. 。"I said, do you guys have anything better to do Why are you all hanging around me and my brother" A-he stood up and brushed off the group of people who were about to reach into the bucket to look at the sand worms. 。

It seemed that everyone had just remembered they were here to go crabbing, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Bro, the tide just went out. I'm gonna go see if I can catch a few crabs. We can boil them up for lunch and have a drink. I'm so tired." 。Zhao Qin couldn't help but laugh. This sounded a bit contradictory, it was tiring enough without having to go down and flip crabs. 。before turning towards the old house.From afar, she saw a clothesline full of laundry hanging at the entrance. She wasn't surprised by this, even though her younger brother-in-law could be lazy, he h...
