Chapter 68: Earned Ten Thousand Yuan in Two Hours
Lin Chuan pulled the wild boar carcass together, and Wang Liang was responsible for stringing the boar's legs together with a rope so that Lin Chuan could pull it.
After he finished stringing them together, Lin Chuan took them down the mountain and bled Lin Feng and Wang Long.
It took them more than an hour to finish, and that was only because Lin Chuan was there; otherwise, even three of them wouldn't have been able to finish hauling away the wild boars that were piled up like a small mountain.
"Chuanzi, you're amazing! You're incredibly awesome, absolutely incredible!"
After the last boar sludge was defecated, Wang Long held onto Lin Chuan tightly, repeatedly chanting "cow cow cow."
Wang Liang was spinning around in place. Lin Feng seemed calm, but Lin Chuan could tell from some of his small gestures that he was also quite excited.
"Hey, you bastard, why don't you let go? Your hands are covered in blood. You don't mind the filth, but I do."
Wang Long and Lin Feng had been bled, and their bodies and hands were covered in blood, making them sticky as they clung to Lin Chuan.
He slapped Wang Long's hand away and sat down on the pig carcass. Even with Lin Chuan's excellent physical condition, he was a little tired from such a high level of exercise.
"Hey, Chuanzi, I counted them, twenty-two. Can you estimate how many pounds these weigh?"
Wang Long didn't care about Lin Chuan's attitude at all, rubbing his hands together as he leaned closer and asked.
Lin Feng and Wang Liang also pricked up their ears, clearly curious about the same question.
"It weighs over 5,800 jin (2,500 kg). I estimated that when I was hauling it."
Lin Chuan naturally couldn't estimate weights, but he had a system.
The harvest point was 212 points two days ago, plus two waves of wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, and clams. He remembered that before this morning, it was 3418 points.
Current Harvest Points: 3418 → 9246
Lin Chuan was about to break 10,000, so he decided to save up a little more and try his luck with the lottery.
Anyway, he's not of any use to the harvest points now, and the Pig King's sense of smell is still useless.
These past few days, I've been using the Pig King's sense of smell from before to find wild boars, and the two Pig King's sense of smells I used saved me one.
"Over five thousand eight hundred, how much is that again? It's over ten thousand, isn't it?"
Lin Chuan was checking the harvest point, while Wang Long and the other two were calculating how much money they could make.
Unfortunately, all three of them were poor students, and they managed to calculate three numbers by breaking off a twig and placing it on the ground.
Neither of them would concede to the other, so they asked Lin Chuan to judge, since Lin Chuan was considered a top student in their eyes.
"You've all miscalculated. It's 11,002 yuan."
"Chuanzi, you didn't use a stick or write out a formula, how did you calculate this number?"
The three of them were filled with deep suspicion. Although they admired Lin Chuan in many other ways, his mathematics...
Okay, they were impressed by his math skills, but after calculating for a long time, Lin Chuan rejected them all and casually gave them a number.
It's hard to convince them; they've calculated it using formulas.
Lin Chuan shrugged: "Five thousand eight times two equals eleven thousand six hundred, then subtract five hundred and eighty. Do you really need a formula for something this simple?"
Wang Liang: "Why subtract 580? Where's the subtraction in this?"
Lin Chuan responded with a silly emoji, his eyes full of worry.
Oh no, I was even thinking of getting them some business in the future. With this level of intelligence, I'm afraid I'll end up losing everything.
Wang Long didn't notice Lin Chuan's gaze; he recalculated using Lin Chuan's method.
Suddenly, he threw down the branch, hugged Lin Chuan, and laughed wildly:
"Damn, eleven thousand, eleven thousand! Chuanzi, you made a fortune in two hours! You're amazing! If you go back and tell them, they definitely won't believe you, haha."
"We earned it together, and you all got a share too. Without you chasing the wild boars, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with that herd of wild boars."
"No, no, no," Wang Long shook his head vigorously.
"Chuanzi, this is what you earned. We really didn't help much. Xiaofeng could have driven away the wild boars even without us firing our guns."
Although Lin Feng persuaded him to stay, Wang Long gave up his idea of going back and prepared to cling to Lin Chuan's coattails.
But when Lin Chuan told him that he had a share of the more than 10,000 yuan, he was still shocked.
Lin Chuan didn't argue with him, seeing his condition. After resting for a while, he had recovered and stood up.
"Let's not talk about that now. It's all just paper now. We'll talk about it after we get the money. Let's go down the mountain first. We'll have to make several trips. We can't be late."
It was already past seven in the morning. Lei Long and he had arranged to meet at nine-thirty today, and the road down the mountain was not short.
"Let's go, let's go sell them for money."
Once the topic of descending the mountain came up, the three of them stopped arguing. Wang Liang set up a trap for a wild boar, while Lin Feng and Wang Long led the way.
As for helping, they initially had that idea, but after a few attempts, they gave up.
It was almost eight o'clock when they reached the foot of the mountain on the first trip. Wang Long and Lin Feng stayed behind to watch over the place, while Lin Chuan ran back and made a second trip.
Lin Chuan's second round trip only took him a little over forty minutes. Lin Feng guessed that he had run, and advised him:
"Brother, slow down. When the driver arrives, I'll just tell him to wait a bit. There's no rush."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. It's always good to be punctual."
Lin Chuan wasn't really tired; he was jogging to recover his strength, and the more he ran, the more relaxed he felt.
Lin Feng thought Lin Chuan was teaching him a lesson in life, and silently kept those words in mind.
When they came down for the third time, Lei Long's car had just arrived, and he was talking to Lin Feng and the others.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan arrive, he came to greet him from afar, his eyes filled with deep astonishment.
"Brother Lin, you, you (thumbs up)."
He had just driven his car over when he was startled to see the mountain of wild boars piled up by the roadside. He heard that this wasn't all of them; Lin Chuan was still pulling them up.
He thought he wouldn't be able to pull much more, but he was surprised to find that he pulled out another pile, weighing at least a thousand pounds.
Lei Long was so shocked that he could barely speak and could only express his admiration with a thumbs-up.
"Brother Lin, you've beaten more in one night than most people have beaten in several years, it's truly..."
Lei Long didn't know how to describe it, so he gave a thumbs up.
Lin Chuan chuckled: "Brother Lei, I just got lucky. I stumbled upon two groups of wild boars fighting. Look, the bite marks are still there."
Lin Chuan pointed to the wounds on the wild boar and briefly explained the situation to Lei Long, leaving Lei Long stunned.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they started weighing the items. Fortunately, the government used a full scale, not a hand scale, otherwise it would have taken about two hours to weigh everything.
The scale took about an hour to weigh, and the final number added was 5,758.
"Brother, is this a mistake? Didn't you say it was over five thousand eight hundred?"
The three of them surrounded Lin Chuan. Lin Feng spoke up in a low voice and asked, and Lin Chuan patted him on the shoulder:
"No mistake, there's also bloodletting."
"I should have known better than to put it in; now I've lost over a hundred dollars."
"It's okay to do this when we're poor, but we're not short of money now, so let's broaden our horizons and do things in a positive direction, you know?"
While Lin Chuan and the others were whispering among themselves, Lei Long had already filled out the order.
Lin Chuan took it and saw that it said 5,800 jin and 11,020 yuan.

(Godfathers, where have you all gone? I'm a little worried. Can you say something here?)
(You don't need to vote, just let me know they're still alive.)
