Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 519 It's not shameful for someone to work hard to earn money!

Gao Dongxu and A Ning stood on the ghost ship and waved to the fishing boat. The people on the fishing boat cheered and quickly came over. Several fishermen on board were shouting excitedly. It was hard to understand why they had been so scared just moments before.

After the fishing boat approached, several fishermen jumped over, still looking frightened. They hurriedly carried Wu Xie back to the boat and then quickly moved the anchor back. The boat captain shouted, "Set sail! Set sail! Let's get out of this hellhole!"

"What's wrong with Wu Xie?" Fatty Wang asked anxiously.

"He was being controlled by someone, so I knocked him unconscious," Gao Dongxu said as he walked up to Wu Xie after greeting Erpang, Fugui, and Fusheng.

"A human-faced shinbone?!" The captain and several sailors' expressions changed drastically. "Quickly, help him up—"

Fatty Wang and another sailor hurriedly helped Wu Xie sit up. Fatty Wang held him up, and then the captain pressed Wu Xie's head forward.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they still gasped when they saw what it was: two withered hands curled up inside Wu Xie's hair.

The two hands were not very long, and the skin had already become somewhat petrified. The ends were growing under a lump of flesh. The most disgusting thing was that a small human face was vaguely growing on the lump. The face was stuck tightly to the back of Wu Xie's head by some unknown principle.

"Damn it, what the hell is this—" Fatty Wang was startled and swore out in disgust.

"This is a human-faced stag, the wronged soul from that ghost ship. Just sprinkle cow hair on it."

The boat captain's expression turned serious when he saw the human face. He first kowtowed to the thing several times, then took something out of his pocket and sprinkled it on the little face. The little face suddenly screamed and twisted. He immediately drew a knife, carefully but quickly inserted it between the tumor and the scalp, lifted the tumor, and then pulled it off with force.

The thing fell to the ground and twisted and turned, scaring the onlookers into taking several steps back. However, at this moment, Gao Dongxu, who was already prepared, grabbed the twisted human face with his tactical gloved hand and, in the horrified and shocked gazes of the crowd, stuffed it directly into a transparent glass jar filled with half a bottle of seawater and then tightened the lid.

"Mr. Gao, what's going on?" the boat captain asked, his eyes wide with fear.

"This is a magical creature, I plan to take it back and keep it as a collectible—" Gao Dongxu looked at the human face, which was no longer distorted after being exposed to seawater, with a smile, as if he had obtained a precious collectible.

"..."

Everyone was in an emotional state. The captain, with veins throbbing on his forehead, gave a bitter smile and pleaded with Gao Dongxu, his hands clasped together, "Mr. Gao, this kind of thing can't be taken back..."

Ah Ning, who was talking to her younger brother, saw the jar in Gao Dongxu's hand and the disgusting human face inside. Her lips twitched a few times. She knew that Gao Dongxu was definitely going to take it back and sell it for a high price.

Well, when it comes to money, people are way scarier than ghosts.

"Sis, what does he want that kind of weird thing for? It's disgusting..." Jiang Zisuan was also startled by Gao Dongxu's outrageous act of grabbing people's shinies, and when she heard that he wanted to collect it, she was even more speechless.

“Sell it for money—” Ah Ning said coquettishly, speechless.

"Huh?!" Jiang Zi was completely stunned. Could you really play like this?

Ignoring the shocked and strange expressions of the crowd, Gao Dongxu stuffed the can into another backpack.

A sea monkey head and a human face—the price these two items alone could fetch would make the trip worthwhile.

Seeing that Gao Dongxu wouldn't listen to his advice at all, the captain muttered something with a pained, frustrated expression, and led the men back to the wheelhouse.

Soon after, the boat set off.

By this time, the sea had calmed down. Although the dark clouds in the sky were still there, they had been broken into small pieces. Sunlight shone through the gaps between the clouds, making the sky look very magical. It seemed that the tropical storm had finally passed.

After settling Wu Xie in, Fatty Wang and Baldy Zhang stepped out of the cabin and were startled to hear a shrill cry like a baby's wail. They then saw Gao Dongxu processing the grotesque head of a sea monkey.

"What the hell?"

Having just witnessed the novelty and been startled by the sea monkey's ferocious appearance, Jiang Zisuan, who had been silently watching Gao Dongxu manipulate the sea monkey's head, feeling both fear and admiration for him, and marveling at how ruthless his brother-in-law was, saw Wang Pangzi's expression and said, "The legendary sea monkey—"

With an incredulous look on his face and his eyes wide, the fat man frowned and asked, "Holy crap, there really is such a thing?"

Jiang Zisuan nodded and said, "There are legends about this thing in many places, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Ah Ning glanced at the sea monkey head in Gao Dongxu's hand with some disgust and said, "This damn thing attacked us on the ghost ship. Not only was it extremely fast, but it was also incredibly strong. Bullets could only wound it, and in the end, he decapitated it with a single blow—"

Fatty Wang looked at Gao Dongxu and exclaimed with admiration, "It has to be Young Master Gao. All sorts of monsters and demons would have to kneel before him—"

Hearing those words again, Ah Ning looked into Gao Dongxu's beautiful eyes, which shone even brighter with admiration. She touched the five-emperor coins he had given her before she left, the coins he had placed on her right wrist. "To ward off evil, dispel misfortune, and prevent soul loss..." Ah Ning clearly remembered him telling her never to take them off as he put them on.

At first, she didn't think much of it, but now it seems that this string of five emperor coins is definitely not an ordinary item. She couldn't help but feel a sweetness in her heart, and her gaze towards Gao Dongxu became even more gentle and affectionate.

"alright--"

In the original storyline, the sea monkey could be resurrected in an underwater tomb, so Gao Dongxu would naturally not underestimate the sea monkey's head. If he were to leave a time bomb by his side, that would be truly courting death.

So he took out the Legalist bronze mirror and shone it on the sea monkey's head. Sure enough, the thing wasn't quite dead yet. It was only after being shone by the Legalist bronze mirror that its soul was scattered.

Gao Dongxu took out a sealed bag, carefully packed the sea monkey head into it, and stuffed it into his backpack amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd. He smiled and said to the group of people who were looking at him with complex awe, "The sea monkey head and the human-faced serpent are both legendary monsters, but there have always been many legends about them, and very few people have actually seen them. What I have now is the evidence of their existence. I'm planning to hold an auction. Hehe, what do you think? Will it cause a sensation around the world?"

"..."

Everyone stared in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment. Fatty Wang, in particular, exclaimed with utter admiration, "Young Master Gao, if I didn't know you were so amazing, only you could have come up with this way to make money. Even if we stumbled upon it, we would never have imagined that we could sell these things for profit..."

At this moment, Jiang Zisuan looked at his ruthless brother-in-law Gao Dongxu and didn't know what to say. This heaven-defying thinking was something that ordinary people like them could never have imagined. To be honest, he really admired and even worshipped this brother-in-law.

For Jiang Zisuan, a passionate 18-year-old, Gao Dongxu, a tough and ruthless guy, was an absolute idol.

“Things are valued for their rarity. Don’t just focus on those bottles and jars. Some mutated creatures and legendary monsters are more valuable. Of course, first you have to be able to catch them, hehe.” Gao Dongxu said with a smug smile.

Everyone shook their heads with wry smiles. If they encountered sea monkeys, they would be too busy running away to even think about catching them and taking them back to sell for money.

"Alright, everyone find a place to rest, take a nap, and recover your strength."

Just as everyone was sighing, Ah Ning stood up and spoke in a cold and aloof manner.

It has to be said that everyone was exhausted after a whole night of running around. When Ah Ning said that, everyone agreed and found a place to lean against and start resting.

Gao Dongxu stood up and, under Jiang Zisuan's complicated gaze, embraced the blushing, coquettish, and half-heartedly resisting A Ning as they entered the cabin.

"Hey kid, why aren't you making a fuss anymore?" At this moment, Fatty Wang teased Jiang Zisuan with a smile while smoking a cigarette.

"Hmph—fatso, mind your own business—" Jiang Zisuan was a little embarrassed by the teasing and snorted coldly.

"Hehe, you little brat, you just need a good beating. But I really envy you for having such a good older sister. You're lucky to have Gao Shao as your backer, you'll never have to worry about anything for the rest of your life..." Fatty Wang didn't take Jiang Zisuan seriously, and said with a smile and envy.

"Hmph—" After going through a storm, Jiang Zisuan could see that the fat man and his group were not ordinary people. Although he was very arrogant, he still respected those who had ability.

Although he was a little tired of what the fat man said, he couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought about his and his sister's current situation and Jude Kao, who was becoming more and more inhuman.

Perhaps this incredibly powerful brother-in-law can really help the siblings escape Jude Kao's control.

When Wu Xie woke up, the sun had already set. The fishing boat was sailing close to the coast of an island. With a splitting headache, Wu Xie staggered out of the cabin and saw a very beautiful white sand beach. In front of him was a pier, which looked like it was about to dock.

"Tianzhen, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Upon seeing Wu Xie, Fatty Wang immediately stepped forward to help him up and asked with concern.

Feeling Wang Pangzi's concern, Wu Xie felt a warmth in his heart and said, "I'm feeling dizzy. Where are we going?"

Wearing a plaid shirt over a black cropped top, revealing her round, plump cheeks and a glimpse of her fair, slender waist, paired with black trousers and diamond-patterned boots, her hair styled in braids, she looked both cool and stylish. With a rosy complexion and sunglasses, Ah Ning replied, "We're going to Yongxing Island to pick up a few people."

Wu Xie turned his head and saw the beautiful and dashing A Ning. His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "A Ning is really becoming more and more charming." He smiled and asked her, "Who are you going to pick up?"

Ah Ning pointed to a group of people carrying travel bags on the distant dock and said, "That's them, a few divers."

"By the way, where's Young Master Gao?" Wu Xie suddenly remembered something, reached up and touched the back of his head, only to find it bandaged up, and frowned.

Fatty Wang chuckled and looked at A Ning with an ambiguous expression. A Ning's pretty face blushed slightly. Fortunately, she was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see her shyness and fluster. She said calmly, "I'm still resting in the cabin."

"Oh, what happened to me on the ghost ship? I can't remember anything?" Wu Xie said with a furrowed brow and a pained expression.

"It's better if you don't know..." Fatty Wang patted Wu Xie's shoulder with some emotion and advised.
