Chapter 41 A Big Deal Worth 5 Yuan
Yang Xun opened the private messages on his platform account one by one, and he replied to each one of them regarding lost items and missing persons.
His first point in replying was to ask for the specific address. If it wasn't this small coastal town, he didn't want to travel a long distance and waste time gambling on whether he could trigger a missing item or missing person quest.
After replying to a number of people, quite a few of them happened to be online and sent their specific locations, but without exception, none of them were in the coastal town. He could only politely decline, saying that he would go there again when he had the chance, or that they could come to the coastal town to find him.
Hong Ge: "Host, why don't you come over? I'll reimburse all your travel expenses and give you 2,000 yuan as a favor. I have some valuables that I really lost, and I really hope you can help me find them. As long as you can help me find them, no amount of money is a problem."
Yang Xun was somewhat tempted by the private message sent by this netizen, "Brother Hong".
If it were about finding a pet, he might agree.
But the other party is clearly looking for some items, and he has not triggered any item-finding quests so far.
Therefore, Yang Xun had no choice but to refuse: "Brother Hong, I've never helped anyone find their belongings before, so I'm afraid I can't help you with your request. Of course, you can come to me in person to discuss the details, but if you don't have time to come, I really can't do anything."
Hong Ge: "Host, okay, I probably won't have time recently. I'll come over and have a meal with you when I'm free."
Yang Xun had no interest in the specific locations mentioned in the remaining netizens' replies, which were none of those in the coastal town.
However, just as he was about to close the software, fisherman Li Si replied to his message.
"Host, I'm from a coastal town, the same city as you. Host, are you interested in what I said about searching for yellow croaker? I'd like to tell you that I once found a sea area with a lot of yellow croaker."
But later, no matter how I searched, I couldn't find that area of the sea. Host, aren't you very good at finding pet animals? Host, you can treat the yellow croaker as a pet. Let's go buy a yellow croaker and then you can examine it and see if there's any way to find yellow croakers in the ocean.
As long as you, the anchor, can find out where there are yellow croakers in the ocean, and I've been fishing all my life, I'm best at catching yellow croakers. As long as I know where there are yellow croakers, I can definitely catch them.
"Host, this business seems good. It all depends on whether you can find yellow croaker. I'll take a small loss; 50% is fine."
Yang Xun stared wide-eyed at the private message that Li Si, the fisherman, had replied to.
Isn't this one of the object detection messages from when we first started actively searching for objects? How could we possibly encounter this?
Yang Xun was very interested at this moment and wanted to cooperate with this fisherman Li Si immediately.
But after carefully reading Li Si's reply to the private message, he was very worried that he would not be able to trigger the fish-finding quest.
Since Li Si doesn't raise yellow croaker, and it's not that the yellow croaker he raised escaped, according to the trigger conditions for finding a pet, the pet or animal that Li Si raises needs to escape in order to trigger the pet-finding mission.
These yellow croakers are wild, so how could they possibly trigger an object-hunting quest?
After careful consideration, Yang Xun initially wanted to refuse, but considering that Li Si's search for the yellow croaker was one of the items he had actively sought out before, he couldn't be 100% certain that it wouldn't trigger the fish-finding event.
So he replied, "Brother Li, you didn't watch my live stream carefully. When I help people find their pets, I need to go to the places where the pets have lived to investigate before I can make a judgment."
The yellow croaker wasn't farmed by you, Brother Li, and I haven't surveyed the area. I'm afraid I can't find any yellow croaker in the ocean.
Otherwise, why would I bother helping people find their pets every day and earning a pittance? I might as well go find yellow croaker. If I find a yellow croaker weighing four or five pounds or more and catch it, even if I don't sell it for 100,000, I can at least sell it for tens of thousands.
"But since you're so keen to cooperate with me, Brother Li, if you're free tomorrow, come over and talk to me in person. I'll assess the situation and then make a decision."
Li Si: "Host, okay, I'll come over to talk to you tomorrow."
"OK."
Just as Yang Xun was preparing for his lunch break, Old Master Chu Tai called.
"Grandpa, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Xiao Yang, I'd like to recommend a business opportunity to you. A friend of mine has lost some of his pigeons. He'll be talking to you about it later. You can decide what to do."
Upon hearing Chu Tai's words, Yang Xun replied gratefully, "Oh, thank you for introducing me to this business, sir. I'll treat you to a meal another time when you have time."
"Eating is no problem. I should be the one treating you, Xiao Yang. I'll bring my granddaughter to treat you to a meal another time when I'm free."
"Alright, sir, that's all for now. A phone call is coming in; it should be someone you introduced."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xun answered a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, you must be Xiao Yang, right? I'm the person Tai Ge introduced. You know Chu Tai, right?"
Yang Xun immediately recognized the man as someone introduced by Chu Tai and politely replied, "Yes, I'm Xiao Yang. May I ask your name? I heard from the old man that one of your pigeons is missing. You'd like to ask me to help you find it?"
"Oh, Xiao Yang, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Dong or Old Man Dong. Yes, one of my homing pigeons is missing, and it was stolen. The police can't find it for me right now, and I'm waiting to participate in a pigeon race."
I had no hope of finding it, but Brother Tai mentioned you, Xiao Yang, saying you're very knowledgeable about finding pets. I was just trying my luck, so I asked you if you could come and see if you could help me find the pigeon. I'm willing to give you 50,000 yuan as a reward if you find it.
A reward of 50,000 yuan—that's a big deal.
However, the excited Yang Xun was also very curious about what kind of pigeon was so valuable.
Aren't pigeons generally cheap? They only cost around twenty yuan each at the market. Even if they're kept as pets, they probably won't be that expensive.
Another point is that there are also pigeon races. What are the events in pigeon races?
Despite his curiosity, Yang Xun still asked, "Mr. Dong, regarding what you said, I'd like to go and see where the pigeons lived before I can make a judgment. By the way, Mr. Dong, you're in a coastal town, right?"
Mr. Dong: "Xiao Yang, I'm in a small coastal city. If you come over, let's add each other on WeChat and I'll send you my location. Just follow the location to get here."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xun and Mr. Dong added each other on WeChat and he also got Mr. Dong's location address. He took his car keys, went downstairs, got into his car, and went to the location address.
After about a half-hour drive, Yang Xun arrived at a detached villa in a residential area near the seaside.
As soon as Yang Xun got out of the car, he saw a man in his fifties or sixties leading two men in their thirties out of the villa.
"Xiao Yang, is that you?"
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Dong."
When asked by a man in his fifties or sixties, Yang Xun nodded and walked over.
