Boots of the Sky @ Chapter 2 Desperate to get rich

The light snow is still flying, and the sun is already half a day high. In another quarter of an hour, the tide will come to an end, and the shallows will recede, and Warren will be able to travel. It's just that at the moment, Warren's state has not been adjusted, and he is still physically and mentally exhausted. After all, if everything doesn't go well and you don't have any money, no one will last long.

Looking back now, he is a little confused: why did he buy that five-star boot seven days ago? At the same time, he also ordered a Liu's left foot that was destined to be thrown away, so that he could lose all his savings?

He knows that this is an impulse, an impulse to invest blindly! At a certain moment, the investment thinking is refracted to produce an error in the calculation of returns, and he further draws a god-level judgment that "if God does not take it, he will be punished by heaven." Only then did he regret not being at the beginning.

In fact, in life, anyone will encounter this kind of investment and home impulse at some point, as long as they can exert their concentration, do not make comments, warnings, reflections, as long as the implementation cycle from the investment impulse, plan review, decision-making to the start of the plan, extend to survive the crazy critical point, reason will return to the right path and avoid ultimate losses.

Warren's hesitation cycle from impulse to initiation this time was less than a quarter of an hour, far lower than normal performance, otherwise he would not have fallen into poverty and remorse!

Warren warned himself: no matter what kind of investment impulse arises in the future, it must go through an hour, no, two days of hesitation period, and reconsider before it can be implemented!

This admonition could not save him from his current poverty, and after days of suffering, finally, he couldn't bear it anymore yesterday, and decided to do a big project to make money: harvesting purple jade shells.

Purple jade shellfish is a specialty of Tokai-gun. The shell is the size of an adult's palm, and the shell is mostly dark purple, and if there are shells in it, the shell will turn into a transparent lilac color against the luster of the shells. Purple jade shell is the lowest level of sea life spirit beast, according to the foreign acquisition of merchants confided, most of the families in the capital have the refining method of purple jade shell beads, carefully grinding, multi-party deployment, made into elixir, ordinary people can take it can prolong life, strengthen the body, martial arts practitioners with the exercise can cut the meridian and wash the veins, forge bones and refine the marrow.

Even if the purple jade shell is the lowest spirit animal, it is not something that ordinary people like Hua Lun, Lao Fart, and Sea Nurex can harvest. Purple jade shells live in deep waters of the inland sea and may be seen sporadically in the shallows at high tide. As a low-level water-based spirit animal, Ziyubei's life-saving trick is a low-powered water arrow, no matter how low it is, it is enough to penetrate the skin. The purple jade shell that gave birth to the shell bead is even more powerful, and can pierce the leather armor with water arrows. Warren and them, even if they encounter a stranded purple jade shell in the shallows after the low tide, they have to slowly play tricks with a long stick from a distance, until they dare to go up and catch it when they are unable to struggle with the water arrows.

After the arrival of winter every year, merchants from all over the world come to Donghai County to buy purple jade shells with pregnant pearls. The purchase price of a pearl-shaped and plump purple jade shell is five gold coins, and the price rises from time to time. Those who did not have pregnancy beads became high-end seafood purchased by the rich or restaurants, and each cost ten silver coins, which was a thousand copper plates. Warren and his three brothers have long been greedy for the fishermen who became rich overnight after catching the purple jade shell, but reason warned them not to be whimsical!

Before returning home last night, the desperate Warren made the final decision, beckoning the old fart and the sea hreid to catch the purple jade shell together, of course, he could only try his luck on the periphery of the deep water area to see if he could find a purple jade shell without a pregnant pearl, the kind of pregnant pearl did not have the courage to think. The first to catch red jade shells were local fishermen, who usually wore one-piece wetsuits made of shark skin before daring to swim into the deep waters. Local fishermen suffer a lot of casualties every year, but they don't have enough catch, so every year in winter, purple jade shell hunters and buyers from other places will come to Donghai County one after another.

The Purple Jade Shell Hunters are all well-cultivated and dressed in diving leather armor, and can hunt underwater for more than a quarter of an hour without going out of the water to breathe. The level of cultivation of the hunter is not something that the people of the town can understand. When the hunters first arrived, the fishermen were disgusted that they had robbed the business and were full of hostility. Until one day, more than 30 fishermen surrounded a hunter, who was supposed to teach a lesson to others, but they were all put down. Although no one lost their lives in the end, the fishermen who caused the trouble were all injured and had no strength to go to sea after recovering.

When the tide went down, Warren rushed to Fang City, and the old fart and the sea hare had already ordered three long-pole fishing pockets. The long pole is made of new bamboo, and the fishing pocket is made of thickened silk rope net. For the three of them, it was a lot of money, and it cost two hundred dollars.

There is no wind today, and the tide is not too high. Now it is the harvesting season of purple jade shells, and there is no purple jade shell that is expected to be left alone except for sand and silt on the shallows. The three men had no intention of going into the water, and each wore snowshoes. When Warren was about to go out, he thought of a countermeasure and wiped his two shoes with solidified fish oil. Of course, it was real boots and five-star boots, and that Liu's left foot had been thrown into the sea by him last night. The oiled real boots finally have a luster, but the original glow of the five-star boots has become dim and faint.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the two boots are a little heavy when you put them in your hand, and they are really light and heel-to-foot, as if they are tailor-made. In particular, the Mousse inheritance boots, like an elastic material, fit tightly on the foot, and are integrated. I knew that there were two more depressions under the mat, but I didn't feel anything when I wore them on my feet. Stepping on the shallows, there is occasionally a small warm turbulence from the real boots, but it is not very noticeable, while the five-star boots have no other feeling except for the warmth after the feet.

Warren and the sea hare only carried their own fishing pockets, and the old fart carried an extra iron bucket. The three of them jumped along the rocks that had come out of the sea at low tide and gradually reached the deep water.

Today's weather is good, the sea water is crystal clear, occasionally fish swim by, crabs run by, but I don't see purple jade shells. Perhaps it is because of the recent harvesting, and the outer edge of the deep water area is difficult to find. Stepping on the rocks and looking out into the deep water, a little closer are the fishermen wading, and in the distance are the diving hunters. Now there is a clear division of labor between fishermen and hunters, fishermen no longer deliberately try to hunt purple jade shells with pregnant pearls, and hunters do not bother to hunt those that have never conceived pearls in pursuit of profit. One of the fishermen noticed the three of them, with a mocking look on their faces, but they didn't say anything.

The three of them sighed and continued to bend down and bow their heads, trying to find traces of Ziyubei through the deep water. I really couldn't find it, so I jumped a little longer, and the old fart even jumped to the loop. Time passed little by little, and the sea began to show signs of high tide, and the rocks in the deep water area that were originally exposed to the sea surface were only a few feet high, but now only the top platform was not submerged by the sea, and if you don't go back, you will be in danger.

Frustrated, the old fart and the hare no longer had confidence, so they put away their fishing pockets and slung them on their shoulders, and stood up straight to look at Warren for instructions to go back. Warren actually noticed the rise of the tide before the two of them, after all, he was most familiar with the ebb and flow of the tide. After fishing for so many years of seafood for his livelihood, if he couldn't always pay attention to the rise and fall of the tide, he wouldn't be able to live to this day. Besides, the old fart and the sea hare are both children with families, and if they go out with him once, take risks or fail to take care of them, their families will not let them mix with him again.

Warren estimated the rising tide and continued to hang his trap under the water, pushing aimlessly through the gravel. Suddenly, I heard a terrible shout from the old fart: "Boss, be careful!" Soon, he received a heavy blow behind his right ear and dodged to the left. At that moment, an arm-thick stream of water broke through the sea, swept past his right ear three or four inches away, splashing the bottom of the water and hitting his face, burning with a burning pain.

"It's a purple jade shell! or with beads!" the old fart's voice became cheerful, but the distance obviously did not change. It was the sea hare that had just hit Warren in the right head, and by this time he had jumped onto another rock nearby. Hua Lun looked down in the direction of the water just now, and sure enough, there was a light purple purple jade shell. didn't think too much, Hua Lun hurriedly slid the pocket, buckled it on the purple jade shell, barely held it, and dragged it around.

The purple jade shell kept struggling, and the water arrow had no head, shooting indiscriminately. The sea hare saw that there was no way to help, so he stepped back and continued to pay attention. After about half an hour, the purple jade shell finally lost much strength, and the gap between the two water arrow launches became longer and longer, Hua Lun motioned to the sea hreen to take the bucket of the old fart and stabilize it, and with a copy of the hand, he buckled the purple jade shell that had just fired the water arrow in the bucket, covered it with an iron lid and buckled the nose. The harvest of five gold coins was expected, and the interest of the three people was finally high.
