Chapter 187 There's no need to ask, just be greedy!
[Damn! Nighttime Actor is awesome! We're begging the production team to send us a live one!]
[Ugh, how can we eat all these colorful things? I'm a little scared.]
[Idiot, ornamental fish are for keeping as pets, not for eating.]
Wow~ That Surabaya rose is so beautiful~ I want to buy it~
[The Yellow-tailed Blue Devil fish that Brother Ye got is fantastic! Its tail is entirely light yellow, its body is deep blue, and there are no other colors.]
Cheng Ai's fishing net kept feeling heavy, and the guests tried to pull it back together but couldn't. They finally managed to pull it up by borrowing tools from Hu Nai.
Zhong Zheyi spread out the net, and the next second his eyes widened in disbelief.
The deck was covered with countless tuna, grouper, striped sea bass, turbot, and salmon.
The corals are strangely shaped and exquisitely beautiful, the giant clam, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, is rough and exaggerated, and there are also king crabs, geoduck clams, abalone, and sea urchins.
"Wow~ So sparkly~" Bai Fu bent down slightly and took out a large, bright golden pearl from a gap in a pile of seaweed leaves, marveling, "This pearl is perfectly round and flawless~ I estimate its diameter to be about 20 millimeters~ It's practically perfect~"
He pondered for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, “I remember Cai Qingyan once asked someone to buy a necklace of gold beads with an average diameter of 12 millimeters. Although I don’t know the price, she was working hard from dawn till dusk during that period, and it was obvious that she had spent a lot of money.”
Wow, Ai Ai is amazing! She actually found a pearl!
[OMG! 20mm beads! Her charms are amazing!]
[@Zhao Nan, I'll offer you 100,000 yuan. Can you mail me this golden pearl that Ai Bao'er got?]
[Trying to keep this priceless treasure for yourself? The guy upstairs has some nerve.]
[Only one? It's a shame to grind it into powder and share it with everyone!]
Hey ladies, I'm itching to try my hand at pearl fishing! Anyone want to join?
"Forget it then. Glaciers are incredibly cold, and the deep sea is fraught with danger. There's no need to risk your life for money."
"Wow!" Su Lixiang suddenly exclaimed, picking up a giant clam shell with both hands and saying excitedly, "There's another black one here, and it looks pretty good."
Li Ziyuan picked out the pearl and couldn't help but marvel, "Although it's black on the outside, it looks red when held up to the sunlight. The only flaw is that it has a small pit."
Bai Fu leaned closer for a closer look, then smiled and nodded, "It's about 18 millimeters, with a minor flaw, but it's still a top-quality item."
Zhong Zheyi took the gold and black pearls and placed them on either side of his earlobes, raising an eyebrow smugly. "How about it? Do I look like a tycoon?"
Cheng Ai snatched the pearl, patted his shoulder lightly, and smiled meaningfully, "Wake up, handsome young man, it's not time to sleep yet."
[Could the drone please provide a close-up? I'm naturally unlucky and have terrible luck, so I know I have no chance of winning. Just being able to see it is fine, okay?]
What's the difference between you and that idiot customer who goes into a store, tries on clothes for ages, and then tells the sales assistant they're not buying?
[Ha! Forced sale?]
How can I know if it fits if I don't try it on? And why would I buy it if it doesn't fit?
[Huh? What's going on? I can't log into Xiao Ai's live stream!]
[My room is locked, what about yours?]
Same here, is the network down? The platform needs to send programmers to fix it quickly!
[How strange, I can only see Zizi's posts. Where are the tech experts? Please step in and help us figure this out!]
[Shutting down and restarting didn't work, damn it, the production team needs to quickly compensate me for the gold and black pearls!]
As netizens expressed their confusion, a line of text quickly appeared at the top of the screen: "[To ensure the fairness of the lottery, anyone who enters a guest's live stream and stays for more than five minutes will be forcibly locked out. We appreciate your understanding.]"
No, no, no! I'm a huge fan of Ai Bao'er, and I really want to see her right now.
[Phew~ Even though I wasn't in Ai Ai's room~ I've been keeping watch over Night Emperor~ No pearls~ but the ornamental fish are pretty good too~]
[Go, Angel Brother! Whether you're a sea turtle or seaweed, just don't send empty boxes to your fans!]
[Waaaa, Zhao Nan is so cunning! He was afraid we'd all crowd into Cheng Ai's livestream before 5 PM, so he pulled this stunt first.]
[What is Master Fu thinking? Quickly stuff the pearls into your pocket and keep them for yourself!]
[Yes, yes, the golden pearl was picked up by Little White from the seaweed, so it should belong to him!]
[The Black Pearl was discovered by Lixiang, so it's only natural that it's named after her!]
[Angel Brother and Zizi also participated, so their results are more convincing.]
[Have you no shame? Have you no shame? The net and talisman belong to Xiao Ai Ai, so why are you attributing the pearls to someone else?]
"Is that even a question? It's greed!"
As darkness fell, the guests sorted the scattered seafood, keeping the live seafood in buckets and throwing the dead seafood directly into the freezer.
Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai had a great harvest, and the others, not wanting to disappoint their fans, all found spots to cast their nets.
Even without expensive pearls, beautiful ornamental fish, or delicious sea fish, gathering a few strands of seaweed is still good.
Ye Jingke continued fishing. The bucket was full, but the freezer was still empty. Since he was idle anyway, he might as well seek some more benefits for his fans.
Cheng Ai played with the two pearls in her hand, her gaze fixed on the slightly churning sea in the distance, her eyes sparkling.
She put away the pearls, affixed the talisman, and cast the net. Bai Fu and the others seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about the pearls. Two pearls were too few; they had to get a few more so that at least the ten lucky fans would each have one. That way, it wouldn't be too stingy!
With a target in mind, the summoning talisman can be more effective.
In just a few moments, dozens of shellfish were caught.
Cheng Ai scratched her head in confusion, her fingers tapping the deck lightly and absentmindedly. Her furrowed brows made her look quite endearing. "Strange, I clearly wanted to collect pearls, so why did I end up with a bunch of scallops?"
Hearing her muttering, Ye Jingke handed the fishing rod to Zhong Zheyi, got up, squatted down in front of her, picked up a scallop and chuckled, "This is a black-lipped oyster, which mainly produces black pearls."
She then pointed to a translucent yellow scallop and explained, "That's the golden scallop that produces golden pearls. You can extract the pearls by inserting the tip of a knife along the edge of the shell."
After saying that, he wanted to turn around and call Bai Fu to go find the knife, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a crisp sound.
Turning her head, she helplessly pressed her temples. "Oh dear, I know you're strong, but doing this makes me feel like I'm a useless boyfriend!"
[Little Ai Ai is amazing for being able to break open scallops without a knife!]
[Wow, so many pearls! The ten people who win in Cheng Ai's live stream today will definitely become rich overnight!]
Jealousy has distorted me beyond recognition. Director, grant me the necessary permissions! I want to fawn over Queen Ai!
With such incredible strength, wouldn't she kick Brother Ye away in a fit of anger when they argued?
