Chapter 51: Going to the Beach to Surf

After his call with Chen Zilong ended, Zhou Yu picked up his mobile phone and opened the Xianrou Garden website. He saw the hottest post of the day: a showdown between two Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated at the Jing City succulent exhibition.

Seeing this title, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face. He clicked to open the post, and a photo immediately came into view. In the photo was a three-tiered flower bed. The bottom two tiers held various succulent plants, while the top tier held only two Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated.

Although there were more than ten pots of various succulents in the flower bed, when Zhou Yu saw this photo, his gaze was completely captured by the two Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the top. There was no room for any other succulents.

He recognized his own Jade Dew at a glance, placed on the left side. Under the flower pot on the flower bed, two arrows marked the diameter of this Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated as ten centimeters.

The ten-centimeter Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated looked mighty and imposing. Its dark color was not dull but clear and transparent like water, making the entire plant mysterious. The pink variegation on top was the icing on the cake, full of allure.

The competing Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated next to it had a diameter of nine point five centimeters. It also had pink variegation. However, in terms of color, the perfection of the variegation, and the transparency of the leaf windows, it couldn’t compare to the Jade Dew he had nurtured with the Spirit Gathering Array. This was obvious at a glance, no need for careful inspection.

To become the current Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated, this Jade Dew had undergone two mutations, nourished by the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Array and the powerful vitality in the Spirit Stabilizing Liquid.

Looking at this picture, Zhou Yu felt certain about who would win this showdown.

Below this post, many people had expressed their opinions, marveling at the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the left.

“This… I didn’t expect such an amazing scene at the Jing City succulent exhibition. Two Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated, both with pink variegation, with diameters reaching ten centimeters and nearly ten centimeters. Especially the one on the left, it’s simply the epitome of perfection.”

“Without comparison, there’s no harm. If not for the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the left, the one on the right would definitely dominate this exhibition. Unfortunately, it was destined to become just a foil.”

“Poster, did you find out which domestic master grew the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the left? I just want to ask for a small cutting.”

“I heard some inside information. It seems a friend of Young Master Qi had some conflict with someone over succulents, so they used Jade Dew for a showdown. The one on the left belongs to Young Master Qi, and the one on the right was borrowed by another person from the Small Island Country. I think the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the left was definitely lent to Young Master Qi by the master Flower Not Flower.”

“Now that you mention it, I think it’s highly possible too. Because the perfect condition of this Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated is quite similar to the Pan Deng Yulu Variegata we saw before. Master Flower Not Flower, please come out! I beg for a strand of your leg hair!”

“This is simply too beautiful. I’m proud of our domestic masters. I’m buying a ticket right now. I must go to Jing City tomorrow to see the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated on the left with my own eyes. I can’t miss this opportunity.”

“Fellow poster above, take me with you, take me with you!”

Reading everyone’s comments, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but chuckle. He planned to go to the exhibition the day after tomorrow to see his Jade Dew displayed there. He should at least make a trip. Besides, the day after tomorrow was the last day of the exhibition. After it ended, he could directly bring that Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated back.

Just then, a phone call came in. He saw it was Li Tianbiao calling. In the morning, he had taken the time to return the car to Li Tianbiao first, planning to borrow it again when he went to Jing City the day after tomorrow.

“Brother Universe, are you free this afternoon?” Li Tianbiao asked over the phone.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, glanced around the yard, and nodded. “I’m free, Biaozi. What’s up?”

“Hehe, then come to the beach. Gouwa and I are both here. The waves are good today, perfect for surfing. Do you want to come?” “I said, don’t call me Gouwa…” Gouwa’s angry voice suddenly came through the phone.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile. He had tried surfing a few times but wasn’t very good at it. “Alright then. Since you’re both there, I’ll be there in a bit. Remember to prepare a surfboard and a life jacket for me. I’m not very good at it.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Universe. I’ll teach you when you get here.” Wang Fugui’s voice came through.

“So it is Gouwa after all. Just like a dog, good at swimming.” Li Tianbiao teased from the side.

Zhou Yu shook his head at these two jokers. After hanging up, he tidied up in the yard and patted the three dogs’ heads. “Huzi, you come out to play with me. Dabao, Xiaobao, you stay home and guard the house properly. I’ll take you out next time.”

It had been a long time since he took Huzi out to play since bringing him to the Old Family House. Now with Dabao and Xiaobao guarding the house, he had the chance.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Huzi excitedly ran a circle around the yard. Dabao and Xiaobao, who had been play-fighting in the yard, immediately lay down on the ground. Their already droopy ears pressed even closer to their heads, looking utterly dejected.

“Oh, with an attitude like that, can you two guard the house properly?” Zhou Yu said with a stern face.

Dabao and Xiaobao immediately stood up from the ground, barked twice at Zhou Yu, and ran a circle around the yard.

“Well done. Guard the house well.” Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, patted their heads, then led Huzi out of the Old Family House.

After feeding these three dogs the Spirit Beast Pill, besides their fur and physical condition, the biggest change was undoubtedly that they had become much smarter.

Zhou Yu changed into beachwear, placed the Spirit Stabilizing Liquid and Spirit Beast Pill he had on him into a cabinet and locked it. Then he rode his electric bike, bringing Huzi to the Guomin Food Stall. Li Tianbiao and Wang Fugui were sitting on chairs outside waiting, also dressed in shorts and tank tops.

They weren’t professional surfers, just occasionally surfing for fun, so what they wore didn’t matter.

“Brother Universe, we were just waiting for you. Let’s go quickly.” Seeing Zhou Yu, Wang Fugui said impatiently.

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. “Gouwa, looking at you, have you played with everything there is to play in the village these past few years?”

“Hehe, Brother Universe, what’s the point of life without playing? Back when I was the kid king, I didn’t play more than you. Now I definitely have to surpass you.” Wang Fugui said proudly with a laugh, then handed him a surfboard from the ground.

Zhou Yu took the surfboard and walked towards the beach with Huzi and Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui’s family was well-off. His parents made a lot of money from the village’s tourism development, so he naturally had no worries about food or clothing, only about having fun.

However, the stuff he played with were leisure activities like fishing and surfing. He wasn’t like some upstarts who played with drugs or visited clubs.

“Brother Universe, is this your Huzi? Haven’t seen him for a few days, seems like he’s changed. Looks much more imposing now.” At this point, Li Tianbiao looked at the big yellow dog following Zhou Yu and said with surprise.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile and patted Huzi’s head. “Of course. I feed him big fish and meat every day.”

They soon arrived at the beach. The sunlight was gradually weakening. Many people were on the beach, some eating, some digging holes with their kids. In the sea, some were swimming or bathing, others were surfing with surfboards.

The beach area where Taoyuan Village and some nearby villages were located wasn’t a particularly excellent surfing spot, but for amateurs, it was sufficient.
