Chapter 325: Chapter 177: Jinxiu Lobster_4

"Gloves?"

Seeing this reward, Lin Yang’s eyes lit up. As a fisherman, how could he not have his own pair of gloves? He knew fishing lines could easily cut hands, especially when fishing for big fish.

As he started to ascend, he checked the next reward.

Because when he had tightly grabbed the sea eel in the net, it had a large crab in its mouth, so he had unlocked two rewards at once.

However, the reward for the crab was a bit stingy, only 300 yuan, but it was better than nothing.

The depth he dived to wasn’t very deep, just over twenty meters, so he quickly surfaced. If it had been the real deep sea, he wouldn’t dare to surface that quickly, but since it was in shallow seas, it didn’t harm his body.

It might seem like he had only just gone underwater, but the current had already carried him at least ten meters away from the yacht.

He quickly swam to the side of the yacht and handed over the several large prawns and the sea eel to Li Xiaopeng.

From the recent rewards, Lin Yang also learned that the sea eel he caught was actually called Spotted Nudibranch, also known as Money Eel, Potato Eel, Tiger Eel. This type of sea eel wasn’t expensive, selling for about 60 to 80 yuan per 500 grams in the seafood market.

While not abundant, these sea eels were not rare in the ocean, mostly indistinguishable from each other except for the patterns.

That’s why the Spotted Nudibranch wasn’t a protected species, given their unclear population and the difficulty in assessing their numbers.

Moreover, sea eels are incredibly fierce, making them both hard to fish and capture. Since they are not farmed, this Spotted Nudibranch was quite precious, but it wasn’t sold for much since all eels tasted similar in the sea, regardless of their rarity.

Lin Yang tried on the gloves he got as a reward from the guidebook. They looked just like any other thin fishing gloves, but once he put them on, he knew they were different.

The gloves felt very thin and didn’t have the bulky sensation of other gloves, and they seemed exceptionally tough with a high defense capability.

He took off the gloves and tried to tear them with force, and even pricking them with a knife from the boat left no significant marks. With these gloves, it seemed Lin Yang would dare to catch sea eels with his bare hands.

Of course, that was just talk.

But indeed, with these gloves, diving would be much safer for Lin Yang; even if he encountered sea eels or crabs again, or even Stone Nine Public and sea bream, he would be much better equipped to handle them.

Wanting to test the quality of the gloves, he dived back into the water and quickly descended to the bottom.

Upon reaching the reef base, he quickly locked onto a target, a Red Armored Crab. The scientific name for this crab was Island Crab, but it was not exclusive to Japan; it could be found throughout the West Pacific.

Despite their abundance, not many people ate this type of crab, which was evident from its various nicknames.

Stone Rock Crab, Stone Crab, Stone Crab Ji, Red Mountain, Stone Crab Ji...

Yes, this type of crab didn’t have much meat, and it was okay for making soup, but not so good for eating.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Yang hadn’t caught this before and wanted to try out the feel of his new gloves, he wouldn’t have gone after it.

Soon, he swam above the Red Armored Crab and with a grab, he truly felt as if the gloves he was wearing had no obstruction, easily gripping the back cover of the crab.

The Red Armored Crab kept struggling, so Lin Yang deliberately tried to let it pinch him to see, but he discovered that it really couldn’t break his defense.

"These gloves are really powerful."

There was no denying that each item rewarded by the guidebook was of great quality.

Continuing on.

After throwing the Red Armored Crab into the net bag, Lin Yang moved again towards the seafloor ahead, but this time he didn’t target shrimp or crabs.

He wondered if catching sea snails with his bare hands would also yield rewards, just as with shrimp and crabs.

As Lin Yang descended to the sea floor, he quickly noticed many spicy snails among the rocks.

Spicy snails, scientifically known as Warted Lizard Shell, are a common sea snail. But generally, when people refer to sea snails, they mean Red Zou Rock Snail, and in some places, Conch specifically.

The names of these snails can be really confusing, and what’s worse is they look quite alike.

Compared to Conch, Red Zou Rock Snail, and spicy snails, the numbers of spicy snails are much greater, and they have a conspicuous spicy tendon, a flatter head, and spiky shells.

If someone grew up by the sea, it’s quite easy to tell these snails apart, but inland tourists, for example, wouldn’t distinguish them so well.

For instance, in Lin Yang’s hometown of Jiangdong City, most people just call these spicy snails "sea snails", which isn’t wrong after all – aren’t they all snails from the sea?
