Chapter 326: Chapter 177: Jinxiu Lobster_5

However, if you think about it, the Nautilus is actually a kind of sea snail...

Looking at the reef full of spicy snails, Lin Yang swam over, gently prying one off and tossing it into his net bag.

Sure enough, just as the spicy snail entered the net bag, Lin Yang saw a new card open in the collection in his mind, with a simple reward, 200 yuan, 2 points of experience, and points.

"The reward is small, but there are quite a few other sea snails here."

He smiled and didn’t mind, as there were not only a lot of sea snails here, but also a wide variety of them.

After finding the spicy snail, he continued to discover many other kinds of sea snails, such as Conical Shells, which are the kind with long, narrow shells, very small, only a few dozen grams, with similarly small rewards, equivalent to freshwater white fish.

Others included the Sea Lion Snail, commonly known as Sea Silk Snail, Zhiwen Snail, Mai Luo, or white snails—which are toxic during red tides and are now banned from breeding and sale in many places in the country, although there are still many places where their trading is permitted.

Beyond those, he also picked up Square Spot East Wind Snails, commonly known as flower snails.

There were also Red Zou Rock Snails, which are considered regular sea snails. Even though their price is much higher than that of ordinary spicy snails, the rewards were almost the same.

As he continued to search, Lin Yang found many more snails, such as Jade Snails, corn tube snails, Flower Jade Snails, Big Zou Snails, Arrow Jade Snails, Jade Sea Lion Shells, Jade Phoenix Conches, Purple Red Mouthed Snails, and so on. Although there are many kinds of sea snails and currently there is no cultivation of sea snails, the valuable ones are not many, possibly because these snails are too easily obtained.

As Lin Yang happily collected sea snails, he unknowingly unlocked more than a dozen new seafood species. Although these seafood were not very valuable, the cumulative rewards still gave Lin Yang several thousand yuan, which would be almost impossible to obtain in such a short time from freshwater fishing.

Therefore, it’s evident that there is a significant difference between freshwater and the ocean; the variety of aquatic species in freshwater is already vast, but it pales in comparison to the ocean.

At this time, Lin Yang even thought about going to the seaside to catch seafood sometime, which might even be more profitable than fishing for big fish.

Having collected half a net bag of various sea snails, he was in no hurry to return to the yacht. In his view, it was a rare opportunity to dive and unlock various kinds of seafood that he could not encounter in freshwater.

Just as Lin Yang was planning to continue unlocking new cards here, he suddenly saw two long antennae sticking out from a crack in a distant rock.

His eyes lit up at the sight of these antennae; although he didn’t live by the sea, he knew that in the ocean, there weren’t many creatures with such long antennae—the most common being lobsters.

Actually, our country is not a major producer of lobsters; most of the top-selling lobsters like Rock Dragons, Rippled Dragons, and Azure Dragons are not native to our country.

The locally produced lobsters in our country can basically be divided into eight types, the more abundant ones being the Rippled Lobster, Mimao Lobster, and the most expensive, the flower dragon and Jinxiu Lobster. In addition to those, there are Island Country Lobster, Mixed-colored lobster, less thorny lobster, Long-legged Lobster, and so on.

At seafood markets, the Azure Dragon commonly refers to the Rippled Lobster, but in reality, if you visit many coastal city seafood markets, you will find that all lobsters are commonly called Azure Dragon.

The Rippled Lobster is called that, the Mimao Lobster is called that, Mixed-colored lobster, less thorny lobster, Long-legged Lobster, Island Country Lobster, and sometimes even the Jinxiu Lobster are also called Azure Dragon. One might say we don’t know where the name for lobsters starts, but it definitely ends with Azure Dragon.

But no matter what kind of lobster, up until now, Lin Yang hadn’t unlocked any. And now, right before him, there was a lobster waiting to be unlocked.

With a turn of his body, he swam straight towards the crack. As he approached, he indeed saw a rather large lobster perched at the entrance of the cave, using its two long antennae to explore the outside world.

Looking at the patterns on this lobster’s body, it was clearly a Jinxiu Lobster, also known as the flower dragon, which is currently the most expensive lobster auctioned off in the world.
