On the other side of the square, Xu Haibo and the others were gathering. They were about to set off to the fishing ground when they saw this scene.
Seeing Ou Shaotian being so popular, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
Why!?
A guy who was kicked out of the trial team was actually doing better than them. It was hard for them to accept.
"This guy is really lucky, but he's also an idiot. He didn't use the good stuff to improve his strength, but sold it instead."
Xu Haibo was jealous. They might not even have such a harvest at the fishing ground.
"That's right. What's the use of selling it for a little money? Strength is the most important."
Zhang Pengpeng also shook his head.
"Forget it. Don't bother about him. From the moment he was kicked out of the team, he was destined to be on a different side from us."
Xu Haibo's face showed a disdainful expression.
"I say, enough. We used to be teammates who supported each other. Is there a need to be like this?"
Yun Duo was unhappy and glared at the two of them.
"Alright, we won't talk about it!"
Xu Haibo spread his hands and said indifferently.
At this moment, Ou Shaotian also walked out of the crowd. When he saw them, he also said, "Hello everyone!"
The others didn't speak, but Yun Duo ran to his side and said happily, "Shao Tien, we're going to the fishing ground today. Also, thank you for your swordfish. My sword aura has strengthened a lot."
Ou Shaotian smiled and said, "You're welcome. Remember to be careful."
Seeing that the others didn't want to talk to him, he didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to Yun Duo and left.
After leaving the square, Ou Shaotian walked towards the fishing village's canteen, ready to buy a fishing rod and a set of fishing hooks and fishing lines.
"Old Man Ma, business is here!"
Walking into the canteen, Ou Shaotian shouted loudly.
This Old Man Ma was an unscrupulous person who liked to haggle over every ounce. Actually, he didn't really like it, but in the entire village, there was only this one small store.
If they didn't buy from him, they could only go to Green Wood Town.
"You're here. It's you, kid. Just tell me what you want. I'll give you a 50% discount. You can't afford anything expensive anyway."
Old man Ma pretended to be generous.
In his opinion, Ou Shaotian was an orphan and did not have much money on him. The things he bought must be cheap. Even with a 50% discount, he would not lose much.
On the contrary, he could gain a good reputation. Who would dare to call him stingy in the future?
"Old man Ma, are you sure you want to give a 50% discount? Don't regret being so generous later!"
Ou Shaotian smiled.
He knew that Old Man Ma looked down on him, so this time, he would definitely make Old Man Ma feel heartache.
"I, Old Ma, am a man of my word. Just tell me what you like. I'll give you a 50% discount."
Old man Ma pretended to be generous.
Ou Shaotian did not hold back. He went to the shelf where the fishing rods were placed and began to choose a suitable fishing rod.
Seeing his actions, Old man Ma suddenly became nervous.
"He must be pretending. He has no money. He must be pretending. He must be pretending …"
Old man Ma kept muttering in his heart.
However, Ou Shaotian quickly picked up a fishing rod that was worth 800 sea coins. It was about the same as the one that Yun Duo lent him.
Ou Shaotian looked at the price tag and said, "Old man Ma, I want this fishing rod. It's priced at 800 sea coins, 50% discount. I'll give you 400. Here's the money."
As he spoke, he took out four 100 sea coins and stuffed them into the hands of the stunned Old man Ma.
"You … How did you get so much money?"
Old man Ma stuttered.
"This money. I got it from selling seafood. I caught some seafood this morning. They were all good stuff. I only sold them for 1000 sea coins. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough. I didn't expect Old man Ma to be so generous."
Ou Shaotian's face was full of smiles.
Old man Ma's heart ached so much that he could not breathe!
My money!
Ou Shaotian ignored him. He turned around and continued to choose what he wanted to buy. He bought an extra large fishing line and fishing hook.
Then he bought a bag of salt. He had eaten a lot in the past two days and the salt at home was almost used up.
However, he did not find any other seasonings.
"Old man Ma, don't you have any other seasonings?"
After finding out that there were no other seasonings, Ou Shaotian could not help but ask.
Old man Ma's heart ached for his money. Naturally, he was not in a good mood. He waved his hand and said, "What seasonings? There's only salt and nothing else."
"Alright, I'll take these too. 50% discount is exactly 150. Here you go!"
Seeing his impatient look, Ou Shaotian didn't ask any more questions. He paid the money for the fishing line, hook, and salt, and hurriedly ran away.
It was to prevent old man Ma from going back on his word and asking for the few hundred sea coins back.
Old man Ma was really hesitating. However, he valued his face more, so he could not put down his face. In the end, he could only watch with heartache as Ou Shaotian walked further and further away.
Until he disappeared from his line of sight.
"Waves my ass …"
Along the way, Ou Shaotian was very happy. After all, this was the only chance to scam old man Ma. It was worth remembering!
After happily returning home, Ou Shaotian continued to temper his skin.
Last night, he had already completed the tempering of his hands. Today, he will continue to work hard and see if he can complete the tempering of his feet.
Time quietly passed by as Ou Shaotian diligently cultivated.
On the other side, the news of old man Ma being scammed spread. The reason was that old man Ma could not forget it. He kept muttering and it was heard by others.
"Hahaha, old man Ma also has a day like this. It's really satisfying!"
Many people laughed happily.
There was not much entertainment in the fishing village. Even a small matter could cause people to discuss for half a day. The stingy old man Ma being scammed could be said to be sensational.
"This Little Tian is really getting more and more impressive. Not only is he good at catching seafood, but he is also getting smarter. He actually managed to scam old man Ma."
Some people also sighed at Ou Shaotian's intelligence.
"Old Ou has a successor. It's a pity that he won't be able to see it now!"
Seeing Ou Shaotian's growth, some people thought of his father and could not help but sigh.
…
It was the next morning.
Before the sun came out, Ou Shaotian had his breakfast and set out to gather seafood again.
He had not finished eating the advanced level marine animals in the fish pond. There was no need to risk going to the fishing ground. Therefore, he planned to continue scouring the beach in the morning.
He was not in a hurry to go to the fishing ground. After he finished eating the marine animals in the fish pond, his strength would definitely improve. At that time, it would be safer to go to the fishing ground.
Therefore, Ou Shaotian carried the fish basket and happily went to the beach.
"Shaotian, go gather seafood too!"
Along the way, someone greeted him.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do. Let's go get something to eat."
Ou Shaotian also replied.
There were many people gathering seafood at this time. When he walked to the entrance of the village, there were already seven to eight people gathered together.
Most of them were old people and children, but there were also young people.
Ou Shaotian's harvest yesterday was huge. He set up a stall at the square and sold a lot of good goods. Therefore, there were many people greeting him today.
As long as one had the ability, there would naturally be many people flattering him.
If Ou Shaotian continued to perform well today, there would definitely be more people fawning over him.
As a person who had lived two lives, he could see through the thoughts of these people.
He did not mind. If he was poor, he would take care of himself. If he was rich, he would help the world!
Since he had the ability to lead the people around him to become rich, he would not hide it. However, he also had to look at the timing. Therefore, he would wait and see!
