Chapter 264 -224: Unleashing a Powerful Move_2
She never expected that Chu Mingcheng would manage to restrain himself at the crucial moment, she knew perfectly well how impulsive the other party could be, especially after their close encounter just a moment ago.
Even when he was taking a shower, as she lay in bed, she felt uneasy—the size was intimidating, and she feared the pain.
But the outcome was something she never imagined.

This instead ignited Jiang Luoluo’s competitive spirit, and with a cold laugh directed towards the door, she said, “I’ll show you a big move tomorrow, I refuse to believe you can keep holding back.”
After Chu Mingcheng fled, he didn’t return to his room but ran straight to the underground garage.
He was also afraid Jiang Luoluo would directly come to his home and overpower him, and by then he definitely wouldn’t be able to resist.
At three o’clock in the morning, Chu Mingcheng buried the last batch of Scavengers.
Since he started early last night, he finished his work earlier today as well.
The location was quite distant today, all the way to Hai Cang District.
Chu Mingcheng cleaned up his tools and prepared to drive back.
But when he was driving along the road by the sea, he suddenly remembered the Earth Dragon he had caught in this area before.
Back then, with only a level two High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas, it was pure luck to attract an Earth Dragon, and now that he was at level thirteen, wouldn’t the odds be even higher?
Since there were still a few hours until morning, and it just happened to be low tide, Chu Mingcheng immediately made a U-turn and headed to the place where he had previously caught the Earth Dragon.
There were no buckets or seafood tongs in the car, only bags. Upon reaching his destination, he took a large bag to the spot where he had found the Earth Dragon and activated the fish-gathering feature.
Turning on his headlamp, Chu Mingcheng searched the tidal flats for holes that might belong to Earth Dragons.
Upon finding a hole, he would stand by it and wait for the hidden creature inside to come out.
But luck wasn’t on his side, after searching more than a dozen small holes, nothing at all emerged.
While searching, after a little while, Chu Mingcheng spotted an aggressive-looking large crab scuttling sideways towards him.
Shining his headlamp on it, it turned out to be a large Green Crab.
The shell on the back of the Green Crab was as large as his palm and weighed at least one catty.
Chu Mingcheng scooped up a handful of sea mud and flung it onto its face.
With such a large clump, the crab was instantly immobilized where it stood.
The Green Crab, startled by the sudden attack, raised its two large claws in a threatening gesture. But with its eyes covered, it couldn’t find its bearings and was unaware that someone had already snuck up behind it.
Chu Mingcheng forcefully grabbed the crab by the legs at the back and placed it into a nearby puddle to wash.
After roughly washing off the sea mud, he lifted the crab again and used the headlamp to shine on it, checking if the Green Crab was meaty enough.
If the Green Crab was too skinny, then he had no choice but to release it.
But when Chu Mingcheng picked up the Green Crab, he felt how heavy it was. After a thorough examination, he indeed found it to be very plump, and being a female crab, it certainly contained roe.
He then casually plucked a withered seagrass and managed to tie up the Green Crab’s large claws, before placing it into the bag.
It was fortunate that he was in Xia City. If it had been his hometown, the Green Crab would probably still be hibernating, and even the fish-gathering function wouldn’t be able to lure them out.
Wild female Green Crabs after winter, weighing at least one catty, might even reach one and a half. At minimum, they could sell for two hundred yuan per catty.
This single Green Crab was comparable to the daily wage of an ordinary office worker, so this morning wouldn’t be in vain after all.
With a sizeable Green Crab in hand, Chu Mingcheng’s enthusiasm soared.
With himself as the center, fine seafood within a radius of thirteen meters would be attracted. He just needed to stand in one place for a few minutes before moving to the next.
There weren’t many creatures on the tidal flat that could reach the level of high-quality seafood, and with only a 13% chance through the fish-gathering function, it was difficult for Chu Mingcheng to catch many prey.
Half an hour had passed, and after changing spots six times, he hadn’t caught a single Earth Dragon.
This made him wonder if this tidal flat had no Earth Dragons at all, but the next moment, a snake-like creature voluntarily presented itself.
Upon shining the headlamp on it, the creature was a delightfully unexpected Earth Dragon.
Chu Mingcheng immediately grabbed it by the neck and put it into the bag before it could wriggle away.
This Earth Dragon weighed roughly one catty, netting him six hundred yuan.
When it was five-thirty in the morning, Chu Mingcheng had only managed to catch a second one.
However, the second one was quite large, probably close to two catties.
Chu Mingcheng had earned two thousand yuan just by relying on the fish aggregating function temporarily, and he wasn’t dissatisfied at all.
It was about time, so he picked up his bag and headed back along the path he had come, wondering if he would be lucky enough to stumble upon another fish on his way back.
As it turned out, an Earth Dragon did show up and he caught it.
Obviously, there must have been several Earth Dragons living in this tidal flat area, but the probability of attracting them with the fish aggregating function was too low to draw them out in large numbers.
However, this particular Earth Dragon had been attracted, which led Chu Mingcheng to a speculation.
He stood in an adjacent area for five minutes, and when nothing showed up, he moved thirteen meters away to another area and waited for the same length of time.
Seeing that no creatures were attracted there either, he returned to his original spot.
He was testing whether returning to the same area repeatedly with a 13% chance of triggering the function would attract all the high-quality aquatic products living there.
If it really worked, then he’d have found a clever technique.
From then on, fishing on the reef and tide hunting could become very convenient, as well as sea foraging.
After going back and forth three times, when a big Green Crab crawled over, he knew his guess had been right.
Although the attraction rate was currently low, he could indeed spend more time and draw out the high-quality aquatic creatures within the area.
Of course, this discovery was more advantageous for sea foraging; for fishing, it wouldn’t be necessary unless the area found was low on resources, as it was time-consuming and physically demanding.
Chu Mingcheng confirmed this little technique mainly for the hard-to-dig Earth Dragon and the troublesome-to-catch Ban Qin shrimp.
After catching the big Green Crab and verifying its plumpness, he tied it up with dry seaweed and put it in his bag; then, he carried his bag and walked back to shore.
Upon arriving back at his car, he took out a half-filled bucket of tap water, washed the mud from his feet clean, and then drove home.
If he had returned at five-thirty, he could have gone to the market to sell his catch first.
Now, at six-ten, he had to hurry back home to prevent Jiang Luoluo from finding out he wasn’t there and having to concoct an excuse.
However, upon returning home and just entering the door, Chu Mingcheng found Jiang Luoluo sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, a breakfast set out on the coffee table, clearly waiting for him.
“Where have you been?”
Although her tone held a trace of questioning, it was more concerned than anything else.
“Couldn’t sleep, so I went off to forage in the sea!” Chu Mingcheng was very glad at that moment that he hadn’t sold off his finds and had brought them home instead.
“Serves you right!” Hearing that he couldn’t sleep, Jiang Luoluo thought it was because he had refrained too forcefully the night before and immediately rolled her eyes at him.
“…” Chu Mingcheng could only smile wryly, knowing that she had an opinion about his running off the previous night.
“Don’t just stand there, come and have breakfast!” Jiang Luoluo wasn’t truly angry at him, and seeing him in his current disheveled state, she ultimately felt a pang of tenderness.
So she stood up, took the bag from him, and told him to go have his breakfast.
Chu Mingcheng, having been active all night, was just in time to feel hungry, so he washed his hands, came to the coffee table, and ate his breakfast standing up, to avoid soiling the sofa with his dirty pants.
Jiang Luoluo opened the bag to see what was inside, curious about the contents.
She had no idea that as soon as she opened it, she would see several Earth Dragons, which made her eyes light up.
Her plan to “go big” the previous night wasn’t to devise some special temptation, but to prepare a ‘Peking Duck and Earth Dragon Soup’ to let a certain someone replenish a little bit, just to see if he could still hold back.
She had intended to buy them at the market that morning, yet, by coincidence, Chu Mingcheng had caught several during his tide hunting trip.
She took two buckets and sorted the Green Crabs and Earth Dragons into them.
Then, she picked the smallest Earth Dragon and put it in the sink while planning to sell the rest.
Chu Mingcheng, of course, saw what she was doing and was immediately surprised, “Luoluo, you’re not thinking of making Earth Dragon soup, are you?”
“Yeah, haven’t made it in a while, let’s see if I’ve lost my touch!”
“…”
Chu Mingcheng couldn’t help but laugh and cry, knowing all too well what she had in mind.
But it was precisely because he knew that he gave up on the idea of enhancing his physical conditioning first.
Jiang Luoluo had gone to such lengths; there was no need for him to continue rejecting her.
With the woman initiating twice consecutively, further refusal would truly diminish his manhood.
