I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 12: Underwater Fishing and Financial Crisis [Please collect and read]

"Why do we need to buy groceries again? Are you eating too much?"

Looking at the last bit of food left in the refrigerator, which was completely emptied after making lunch, Xia Yuan just felt like a bit of a glutton.

After finishing lunch in tears, I took a nap.

I don’t usually have this habit, but I slept less last night and the intensity of the exercise was too high in the morning. In order to ensure energy in the afternoon, I had to rest for an hour.

Sure enough, after a good sleep, most of the mental and physical fatigue disappeared.

In the afternoon, when Xia Yuan was running along the river bank, an idea suddenly popped into his mind: swimming.

This river is called Dongliu River, a tributary of Nanjiang River, the largest river in Kyushu.

The villages near the riverbank are all deeply affected by this river. Farmers fear the flooding of the Dongliu River every summer the most.

Fishermen prefer the time when the water level rises the most, as there will be a lot of fish and shrimps during that period.

Over time, many farmers began to fish.

However, nowadays, with the control of water levels, fishing can no longer make much money, and most people have gone to work in the city.

Xia Yuan went to the river and tested the water temperature with his feet. It was not cold and was completely acceptable.

So without saying a word, he took off all his clothes and jumped down.

After my entire body was submerged in water, I could still feel a little bit of cold, but that was all, and it had no effect on my limbs.

But after swimming for a while, my body became more and more flexible and the coldness completely disappeared.

"As expected of an extreme physique, swimming in winter is like a piece of cake."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh, you know, the temperature is not even 10 degrees now.

After completely adapting to the water temperature, he suddenly dived into the water.

The water level of the Dongliu River is very low in winter and the water surface is very calm. Given his current condition, as long as he controls his physical exertion and gets ashore before his breath holding ends, there will be no danger at all.

After going deep into the water, Xia Yuan felt his vision was blurred, as if he was severely nearsighted and could only see things very close to him.

I swam down for a few meters, but I still couldn't see the bottom. It was not until I dived about 10 meters that I felt the mud and sand under my feet.

It got darker as he went down. With his current eyesight, he could only see things within half a meter around him.

There were a lot of aquatic plants nearby, and many fish lived nearby, but as soon as he approached the fish, they swam away quickly.

He originally wanted to try to catch a fish, but the fish were moving too fast in the water and he couldn't keep up with them at all.

After trying many times, I couldn't even touch the fish's tail. I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​catching the fish with my bare hands.

With his current physical condition, he couldn't even catch a fish, which made him a little depressed. He had originally wanted to use fish to improve his diet.

As for fishing.

That is impossible, not because he is an air force, but because he cannot waste this time to increase the source point.

I looked around underwater for a while and found no underwater treasure except garbage. It turned out that the stories were all lies.

He swam upwards only when his breath was almost at its limit.

When I got ashore, I found that I was several hundred meters away from where I had just entered the water.

This trip underwater lasted only more than half an hour, but it consumed a lot of physical energy, mainly because of the underwater fishing, which consumed physical energy particularly quickly.

After stopping, I recovered a lot. If the breath holding time had not been almost up, I could have continued diving underwater for a while.

Unwilling to accept the result, Xia Yuan went down to fish several more times for the whole afternoon, but still caught nothing.

At 7 p.m., after emerging from the water empty-handed for the last time, he had to face reality: catching fish with his current body was a complete pipe dream. Every time he went into the water to fish, he was physically exhausted, and sometimes he would be almost exhausted in less than half an hour.

Although no fish was caught, the source points increased. I harvested 0.03 in the afternoon. It can be said that the main task was completed. It doesn’t matter whether the side tasks were completed or not.

At night, the temperature dropped significantly.

After getting ashore, Xia Yuan shivered while waiting for his strength to recover and his body to dry up. He felt the cold wind in the air and could finally feel a hint of coldness.

So, without waiting for my body to completely dry, I put on my clothes and went home.

I originally wanted to come back early to buy groceries, but I was addicted to fishing and kept going until I was exhausted.

Fortunately, there are still a few shops open in the vegetable market, otherwise we would have to eat out tonight, which would increase the consumption again.

Because it was too late, many stores were closed, so I could only buy a little and plan to come back again tomorrow.

I originally wanted to go to Qin Shuai's house at night, but when I passed by, the door was closed and even the lights were not on, so I gave up the idea.

After dinner, Xia Yuan went to Uncle Ding's house to ask if he knew anything about it.

When we arrived at Uncle Ding's house, the old couple were having dinner.

"Xiao Yuan, have you eaten yet? I'll get you a bowl and chopsticks to eat together."

"Thank you, Auntie. No need to bother. I just ate."

After hearing that he had finished eating, he did not insist. The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, and then Xia Yuan got to the point.

"Oh, you're talking about the two kids from the Qin family. They're quite pitiful. I heard that Qin Shuai got a job recommended to him and he's been working there for several days."

Uncle Ding didn't know the specific details. He only said that he worked in a textile factory and got off work very late every day. He didn't know what he did specifically.

Seeing that Uncle Ding didn't know much, he didn't stay long. After thanking him, he got up and went to his usual place to start his evening exercise.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening when I finished a day's exercise and went home to take a shower and go to bed.

The next two days were the same as before.

I go to my hometown during the day and exercise in the open space behind it at night.

It's just that the time for fishing has been reduced, and his interest has waned as he hasn't caught any fish.

In this way, three days after the completion of the project, the source point increased by 0.06 per day. Although no more bricks were moved, the source point increase rate did not decrease, and this rate was already the limit of daily growth.

The source of growth has not decreased, but consumption has increased instead of decreased. In the past, we could eat at the construction site at noon, but now we have to cook for ourselves.

After three days, he spent a total of 900 yuan. At this rate, the money he had would not last him two months, and he would not be able to do anything except eat.

Putting aside the worry of having no money, he prepared to go to bed first. As long as he left the worry until tomorrow, he would have no worries today.

When I went to bed, I took another look at the panel as usual.

Over the past month, except for the first day after not moving bricks, I took a few more glances to make sure that the increase had not decreased.

I am too lazy to read more except for reading it before going to bed every night.

The panel hadn't changed for a long time, and he had gradually become numb to it. If the source points hadn't been increasing every day, he would have suspected that the panel was broken.

"When I went to bed last night, the total number of source points was 2.98. I guess it should be 3.04 today."

I didn't look anywhere else, I just checked the source column first, and after confirming that it was correct, I was ready to close it and go to sleep.

"Alas, when will this day end?"

"No, damn, I am not seeing things."
