My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 40 Luo Hao's Treat

Zhou Miao sold a total of 4,600 yuan for swimming crabs, and 1,900 yuan for abalone and sea bass.

In just one morning of hard work, he earned 6,500 yuan.

This income was still gratifying, but Zhou Miao knew in his heart that it was largely due to the intelligence advantage indirectly provided by the system.

Lu Xiaoxiao also received a share of the profits, which amounted to more than 2,000 yuan.

The Luo siblings' income from swimming crabs wasn't much less than Zhou Miao's. This generous return actually made the siblings a little embarrassed.

They originally only hoped to earn a few hundred yuan in pocket money, but they ended up making several thousand yuan. This favor was truly significant.

Luo Hao weighed the options in his mind; simply telling Zhou Miao a fishing spot seemed far from enough to repay such a substantial profit.

After all, a fishing spot is just an opportunity; whether you can make money from it is still unknown.

The resources Zhou Miao shared actually enabled the brother and sister to make money.

"We have to go out for a nice lunch to celebrate!" Luo Qianqian, who is usually a little stingy, suddenly became generous.

"We've made so much money, it wouldn't be right not to treat ourselves!"

This time, she took 30% of the profits, which amounted to 1,290 yuan. It was perfectly reasonable for her to spend several hundred yuan to treat others.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then replied somewhat eagerly, "Then I'll treat you tonight!"

Seeing her serious expression, Zhou Miao couldn't help but chuckle and gently poked her forehead.

"What kind of guests are you treating? Besides the little money you've just earned, what other savings do you have? You should start saving!"

"Hmm..." Lu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, but had to swallow back the words of inviting her to dinner.

My sister is treating us to dinner, so I can't miss it.

But what should we invite them for? Should we reciprocate with a meal as well?

As Luo Hao was pondering, he inadvertently caught Zhou Miao rubbing her arm out of the corner of his eye. Her movements were somewhat stiff, and she seemed to be quite uncomfortable.

This gave him a bright idea, and he instantly had one!

However, Luo Hao didn't make a fuss. He just quietly drove everyone to a delicious food stall in town, where they all enjoyed their meal.

After the meal, Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao were in high spirits and planned to work hard again in the afternoon to try and earn a few thousand more yuan.

Zhou Miao originally planned to teach Lu Xiaoxiao to swim, but seeing her enthusiastically discussing making money, she had long forgotten about it and didn't bring it up again.

I thought I'd talk about it tomorrow; I didn't want to bother her while she was making money.

The fish weren't biting well in the afternoon, so Zhou Miao planned to go diving and beachcombing in the reef area.

Yesterday I only briefly surveyed the terrain and picked up quite a few things. Today I'll search carefully, and maybe I can earn another thousand dollars.

Fishermen in the East China Sea are accustomed to fishing at sea and rarely dive to explore the sea.

Even freediving fishing is rare; only a group of rock anglers occupy the various reefs and islands in the nearshore waters.

Therefore, these underwater reef areas and sandbeds are all filled with treasures, waiting for him to discover them.

As the group returned to the dock and prepared to set sail, Luo Hao stopped Zhou Miao and said to his sister, "Qianqian, you two take one boat and go ahead! Miao and I have some things to do, we'll go later this afternoon."

"What could you possibly want?" Luo Qianqian asked casually.

"Why do you care so much?" Luo Hao deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be impatient.

"Don't give me that! Tell me, are you going to do something bad?" Luo Qianqian wasn't buying it. Knowing her brother well, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"What bad things could I possibly do?" Luo Hao shouted in defense, while winking at Zhou Miao, "We have serious business to attend to. Don't believe me? Ask Miao!"

What important matter is it? How come I don't know about it?

Zhou Miao was also full of questions, but he saw Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao looking at him, as well as Luo Hao secretly exchanging glances with him.

Out of kindness, he decided to cover for him first.

"I'm going to have flooring installed on my fish raft in a few days, so I'll have your brother come with me to pick out the style of PE flooring."

"Exactly, I run a fish raft business, isn't it normal for me to help out?" Luo Hao quickly chimed in, secretly giving Zhou Miao a thumbs up; what a brilliant excuse.

"I see..." Luo Qianqian accepted the explanation and didn't ask any further questions.

Actually, she wasn't the type to pry, and if Luo Hao had answered properly, she wouldn't have suspected anything.

It was his impatient demeanor that annoyed her, which is why she continued to press him for answers.

"What happens to the fish rafts if no one is watching them in the afternoon?"

Luo Hao waved his hand: "It's okay, there probably won't be any customers today, so it doesn't matter if we close it for the afternoon."

"Alright, let's go set up the crab traps first. Xiaoxiao, let's go!" Luo Qianqian called to Lu Xiaoxiao as they left.

Watching the two girls sail away, Zhou Miao asked curiously, "Ah Hao, where are you taking me all this time?"

"You helped us earn several thousand, and although Qianqian treated us, I couldn't be ungrateful. It's just that the place wasn't suitable for bringing girls, so I sent them away," Luo Hao said with a smile.

"They can't go? You're not going to drag me into doing something illegal, are you?" Zhou Miao asked suspiciously.

"What's illegal about it? It's perfectly legitimate!" Luo Hao said confidently.

Half an hour later, Zhou Miao was taken into a high-end foot massage parlor. He immediately understood Luo Hao's intention: this was indeed a place the girls shouldn't know about.

But to be fair, massage itself is perfectly normal.

"I noticed you were rubbing your arms earlier. Are your muscles sore from fishing? Give me a massage here, it'll make you feel much better," Luo Hao finally explained.

Zhou Miao understood; he used to often ask Lu Xingyu for massages when he was tired from work, so he wasn't at all reserved.

Luo Hao chose the "Beauty Foot Bath" service instead of the more fancy spa options.

Zhou Miao is knowledgeable; each shop has a different name for it.

Some are called "Celebrity Foot Bath," others "Gold Medal Foot Bath," but they're essentially the same.

But when he saw the price, he was speechless.

More than four hundred?

Why is a massage so expensive in Nanzhen when the cost of living is so low?

The two followed the receptionist into the private room. Zhou Miao was surprised to find that it was a single room.

"Why are there single rooms? Aren't we going to massage together?"

"Just enjoy yourself!" Luo Hao smiled meaningfully, then turned and went to the next private room with the waiter.

"Well……"

Zhou Miao suddenly felt that this massage might be a tiny bit inappropriate.

But it must be legal, since the lights in the private room are very bright.

It is common knowledge that people prefer to do illegal things secretly.

I sat quietly for a while, and then the waiter brought me snacks and tea.

After he left, the sound of high heels clicking in the corridor came from afar.

The door was pushed open, and Zhou Miao looked up to see a young girl walk in, with an incredibly hot figure.

He stared in astonishment at the man's face, which exuded youthful energy, but his physique was unbelievably mature.

With full breasts and hips and a slender waist, her curves were fully revealed under the tight-fitting cheongsam, and her cleavage seemed about to burst out. It felt like the clothes at her chest would burst open with just one deep breath.

The technician is about 1.7 meters tall, and while she looks curvy, she's not bulky at all – truly the epitome of a slightly chubby woman.

Zhou Miao was amazed. How could someone so young have such a perfect figure that even a thirty-year-old woman couldn't achieve?

Are technicians now earning so much that they can go abroad to "upgrade their equipment"?

"Hello, I am Jiali No. 888. It's a pleasure to serve you."

"Hello." Zhou Miao nodded calmly. He couldn't act like a naive kid who had never seen the world before; that would be too embarrassing.

"You can go to the bathroom to take a shower and change your clothes first."

Do I need to take a shower?

Zhou Miao increasingly felt that Luo Hao was setting him up. Could it really turn into an illegal incident in the end?

But he still took a quick shower and changed into the clothes from the foot massage parlor.

When he came out, the young lady outside was already preparing water for him to soak his feet.

One thing Zhou Miao thought was pretty good here: the young lady only went to swipe her card and start work after seeing him come out, and she didn't steal any service time.

After the water was filled, Zhou Miao consciously stretched out her feet to soak.

The young woman took off her high heels, got barefoot onto the massage bed, and came behind him to begin massaging him.

Foot baths are usually done this way; they generally start by massaging the shoulders from behind.

(Good grief, other people can say things like "big butt" without any problem, but I can't even make a joke about it, they deleted everything. It seems like small-time authors have no rights!)
