After Huang Haibo and the others left, Li Haochen did not immediately move the pile of materials into his space. He was going out to sea today and needed to arrange the usage of conch shells and the coconut seedling matters.
Li Haochen was unsure how long this voyage would last, at least three to five days. Since they were not home, it would be boring to stay here anyway, so he might as well stay at sea longer.
The voyage would take at least five days, so he needed to prepare more conch shells this time. After four to five hours, he finally gathered enough for a week's supply. Li Haochen emerged from his space, looking exhausted.
After Gu Xiaonian had taken everything away, Li Haochen could not afford to rest. He rode his electric scooter in a hurry towards the warehouse. They were not inside at this time.
As expected, the warehouse was empty. However, to be on the safe side, Li Haochen still made a phone call. Fortunately, the four of them were currently expanding their market in the neighboring city, and it would take them over an hour to return. This was enough time for Li Haochen to bring out the coconut seedlings.
After dealing with the coconut seedlings, he rode his bike home. He used to think riding an electric scooter was cool, but when he was in a hurry, he wanted to throw it away, just like now. Li Haochen wanted to get back quickly to prepare, but at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour... sigh!
"I need to get my driver's license tested quickly."
Since the first subject exam, the driving school had called Li Haochen several times to learn to drive, but he kept procrastinating. Now he regretted it a little, wishing he had learned sooner.
Back home, Li Haochen took out the two thermos bottles bought by Murong Yanran and washed them clean. He packed his lunch and dinner and then started eating breakfast.
After breakfast, he cleaned up the dishes and returned to his room to get a few changes of clothes. He put them in his space and then went to the vegetable field behind the house to pick vegetables. He picked two to three catties of each. As long as they were not wet, they could last three to four days in the refrigerator without any problems.
With all his belongings, he double-checked the doors, windows, water, gas, and the normal operation of the surveillance system. Everything was in order, so he locked the door and rode his bike towards the pier.
Arriving at the pier, Li Haochen bought a lot of snacks and drinks from the convenience store, even some beer. He then ran into the nearby fishing tackle shop and bought fifty crab traps and dozens of fish keepers in one go.
Li Haochen's large purchase this time made the fishing tackle shop owner beam with joy. He even gave him two complimentary crab traps and some bait.
Upon arriving at the boat, Li Haochen called the oil company to refuel. While waiting for the refueling, Li Haochen also filled the water tanks. At this time, the fishing tackle shop owner also delivered the crab traps and fish keepers, filling the deck.
In about half an hour, the oil was refueled, and he even took two extra cans just in case.
With everything ready, Li Haochen sent his electric scooter to Wang Xiaoming's duty room for safekeeping before returning to the Star Chen.
"Beep~"
With the blast of the horn, the Star Chen slowly backed out of the pier. After a minute, Li Haochen turned the helm to port and looked at the vast, boundless sea in the distance, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Sea, here I come!"
The speed gradually increased, and soon the bustling city behind him disappeared without a trace. He didn't need to rush on this voyage, so Li Haochen was only traveling at an economical speed. His first destination was naturally Dunhuang Island.
By evening, he finally arrived at Dunhuang Island. This place had brought him unimaginable benefits. Aside from the treasure, the resources here were also excellent.
Li Haochen reduced the speed to one knot, fixed the steering wheel with an object, and then went out to cast the crab traps one by one. He did not use any bait this time, partly due to the large number of traps and partly because he did not have time to retrieve mussels from his space.
After all dozens of crab traps were set, Li Haochen dropped anchor and stopped the boat.
There was no need to cook dinner; he had ready-made food. As soon as he opened the thermos, hot steam gushed out, proving its excellent heat retention.
It was still early after dinner. Li Haochen walked out onto the deck, installed the two casting nets, and then slipped into his space to break off some mussels.
Li Haochen pried off some mussel meat and put it into the bait boxes, then lowered the casting nets. Now, he just had to wait.
