Because of a piece of news that spread like wildfire, many fishermen on Carapace Island didn't have a good night's sleep last night. Today, the tide had just receded, and the sky was still dark, but many fishermen had already rushed to the beach with torches to search for the dark green prawns that they had avoided previously.
The price of 50 copper coins per prawn was already higher than most sea fishes and crabs. Just one prawn was enough for a family to live on for a day. If they could catch a few more, they would have enough money to buy the amulets for the month.
One had to know that this kind of strange prawns had appeared quite frequently on the beach of Carapace Island recently.
Therefore, every fisherman had caught quite a number of prawns in their buckets, and they were anxiously waiting for that mysterious demon to come and purchase them.
If the news was fake, then their efforts this morning would have been in vain.
…
Meg made breakfast with love for Amy and Irina calmly. Without him calling them, the three little gluttonous kittens had already been lured down from upstairs by the aroma.
After breakfast, Meg suddenly remembered that he hadn't named the restaurant yet, so the family of three started a discussion about the name of the restaurant.
"Let's call it Ayi Restaurant." Irina threw out a name as soon as the discussion started. "I think it sounds pretty good."
"Ayi, Ayi. It's so cute. I like this name." Amy raised her little hand in agreement.
"Meow!" Ugly Duckling also raised its little paw in agreement.
"Seems like I'm a man who doesn't deserve a name." Meg shrugged with a smile. The name of the restaurant was decided just like that. The system very efficiently custom-made a signboard and hung it at the door.
"Let's go to the harbor to collect the crayfish. Ayi Crayfish Restaurant is officially opening today." Meg carried Amy, straightened her two pincers, and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
"We're just going to sell crayfish here. Aren't we going to do anything else?" Irina asked as she walked beside Meg.
"Let's go and kill Alfred in two days," Meg said with a smile.
"That's interesting." Irina's eyes lit up, and she was instantly interested.
Meg smiled and shook his head. What a restless woman.
When they passed by an alley, Meg and the others happened to see an ugly demon pressing a thin and weak female demon to the ground. The single-horned female demon, who looked to be only 13 or 14 years old, struggled desperately, but still had no way to break free from the demon's claws. In the distance, several demons were just coldly watching this scene, and some were even laughing and watching the play.
"This is why I hate Carapace Island. These people are no different from wild beasts." Irina frowned slightly before kicking a flat and round rock on the ground.
The stone flew into the alley, penetrating the head of the Demon who was pressing down the single-horned female Demon, and then circling around, cutting the throats of the Demons who were watching the show.
"They do deserve to die." Meg reached out to block Amy's eyes, and the three of them passed by the alley. This kind of thing was very common on Carapace Island. Demons who didn't have the money to buy amulets could only become the vassals or prey of other demons.
The single-horned demon girl was stunned when she saw the Demon who suddenly collapsed on top of her. Hot blood sprayed onto her delicate face, and the strong smell of blood made her come back to her senses. She pushed that Demon away in disgust and looked at the six or seven Demons who had collapsed in the alley. Blood gushed out from their throats as they covered their necks with their hands, and their eyes were filled with despair.
The demon girl, Jane, was completely frightened. She staggered to the entrance of the alley, but after running a few steps, she stopped again and looked back at the amulet hanging on the waist of the demon who had wanted to violate her.
After hesitating for a while, Jane walked back quickly. She squatted down and took off the amulet to hang on her waist. Then, she tore off a piece of cloth to cover her face. She jogged out of the alley and quickly turned into the alley next door. She staggered as she ran in the alley, as if she didn't feel anything even when her bare feet were cut open.
She didn't know who saved her, but she knew that if the Ten Kings Palace found out that she had something to do with the deaths of these people, she wouldn't be far from death. She might have to experience something even more terrifying than death.
…
The fishermen at the harbor were waiting anxiously. Many Demons had already planned to throw away these prawns and go to the seaside to take a look before the tide rose. Otherwise, they would have come for nothing today.
Tucker also had a worried look on his face. Although he had already received five gold coins from the lord yesterday, everyone had only caught the prawns after seeing him sell them. If the lord hadn't come, perhaps they would have vented their anger on him.
"He's here! He's here! " The young Demon at the side suddenly stood up, and his eyes lit up when he saw Meg walking over from afar.
"He's here!" Hearing the commotion, the other fishermen also stood up.
Meg looked at the fishermen on both sides of the harbor who stood up one after another as if they were welcoming him. He was a little shocked.
"Are these guys trying to cause trouble?" Irina's eyes lit up. Although they were all small fish and prawns, there were so many of them that it would be good for them to exercise their muscles.
"Should we use fireballs? Or do you want to smash it with a stick? "Ai Mi asked.
"Calm down, they're just ordinary crayfishers." Meg quickly stopped the two who were about to attack. He had already noticed that the barrels and nets in front of these fishermen were mostly filled with crayfish.
"Lord, you're finally here. These are the crayfish I caught today to repay the money I owed you yesterday," Tucker said gratefully as he walked to Meg with his wooden barrel.
"Today's harvest is not bad." Meg counted. There were a total of 15 crayfish in the wooden barrel, and the barrel was almost full. He took out 25 silver coins from his money pouch and handed it to Tucker.
"No … No need. You helped me a lot yesterday. These extra crayfish are my thanks." Tucker quickly waved his hand.
"The two crayfish yesterday were your thanks. Today's five crayfish are 50 copper coins each, so it's a total of 25 silver coins. You have to accept it." Meg shook his head and smiled. "This is a long-term business. You can sell me the crayfish you catch in the future."
Tucker hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the silver coins. He bowed to Meg gratefully and said, "Thank you."
In just one night, he had earned more money than he could earn in a month in the past. His hand holding the silver coins was trembling slightly.
The fishermen who were still doubtful at first saw the silver coins Tucker received, and their eyes lit up one after another.
"Sir, look at these crayfish I caught. There's a total of 52 crayfish. If you want them all, I'll give you the price of 50 crayfish." The young fisherman Kitar came up with a big net of crayfish and looked at Meg excitedly.
Meg looked at the crayfish in the net. They were quite energetic, and 52 crayfish was enough. He nodded and said, "Okay, 50 copper coins each. I'll take them all."
All the fishermen were in an uproar. 50 crayfish for 50 copper coins each. That was 2,500 copper coins!
This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for these fishermen who were struggling to make ends meet. All the demons looked at Meg with their eyes lit up.
Kitar took the 25 gold coins from Meg with a glowing face. This was the money he usually earned in a month. He didn't expect to earn it in one night. Happiness came too quickly. He held the gold coins up and down, and his mind was in a daze.
Then Meg bought all the crayfish from the rest of the fishermen. He filled two specially made nets that he brought with him, and there were about 300 crayfish in them.
"Ding! Detected two seedling prawns. Crayfish capture mission progress: 2/100! "The system notification sounded in Mag's head.
