The old man was quick, but ultimately, his stamina couldn't match that of the younger generation. Shi Tian could only rely on his physical strength to counter the old man's experience.
"Old man, are you craving a smoke? Why don't you head ashore for a quick break?" After two hours of digging, Shi Tian had already collected significantly fewer catches than the old man. He decided to use the strategy of the tortoise and the hare to persuade him to take a mid-game rest.
"What's wrong? Is the young man already out of energy? Your stamina isn't up to par!" The old man stood up and rubbed his lower back, defiantly taunting Shi Tian.
Having not engaged in such physical labor for years, the Hermit Sage's endurance was clearly lacking; all he had left was his stubbornness.
"I don't smoke; I've quit! I'm just suggesting you take a break so you don't wear yourself out." Glancing at the old man, Shi Tian showed no signs of stopping. He found another Wang Chao hole, blocked its escape route with a foot, and went to work with his hoe.
"You quit? When did that happen? Just earlier on the shore, you were smoking!" Seeing that Shi Tian had no intention of pausing, the old man continued to dig.
"I just quit—it's been two hours." He made up an excuse on the spot; when one plan failed, Shi Tian devised another.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to still be the village chief!"
"Of course! I've been the village chief for almost thirty years!" The old man's face beamed with pride as he spoke about his position. Being a village chief for three decades showed that he had some support from the community.
Being a village chief meant not stepping on too many toes. If he had offended people every year for thirty years, he would have been replaced long ago.
"Thirty years as village chief? Impressive! Did you see that camera over there? It's recording! This video can be uploaded online today, and tens of thousands will watch it."
"As village chief, why not take this opportunity to promote the village and attract some tourists?"
"The video time is limited; you'll only get a minute. Think about what you can introduce in that time and hurry up to record it. Once it's posted, many people will come to visit!"
The environment of this village was indeed nice—there were places for fishing, areas for beachcombing, and several farm stays. However, tourist numbers were limited; even on weekends, there weren't many guests at the farm stays due to its remote location.
Once the video goes out and people learn about this village, even a few dozen or hundred tourists could make a difference. If they enjoyed their visit and spread the word, business would surely improve.
Such small villages usually lacked promotional resources. With Shi Tian's following of hundreds of thousands, helping him promote for just a minute was quite generous.
Upon hearing about this opportunity, the hermit quickly grabbed his hoe and headed ashore. Time was limited; he needed to prepare what he would say.
With his competitors dealt with, this stretch of beach would belong to Shi Tian. He swung his hoe vigorously while occasionally opening and closing his fishing bucket at his waist.
On the old man's side, there were four people; if each took one catch back, ten would be enough for them. Yun Wan'er also had four companions; they should take ten back as well. Shi Tian and Li Ziyu couldn't fall behind either; their share needed to match theirs as well—ten in total.
Calculating all this made for quite a daunting number! Looking at the nearby professional anglers, if things didn't go well, he might as well buy some catches instead; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time left to fish for Jumping Fish.
