Chapter 330: Chapter 178: Crazy Unlocking_4

"Sure, this meat is tasty and the skin is quite glutinous. I think sea eel is best suited for eel rice. Other methods are somewhat lacking. Grilling might also be good since its skin is all gelatin...."

"Exactly, I also think this eel rice is delicious. I didn’t expect that you, Cousin, had become so good at cooking."

"Brother Yang, if you have time later, could you also teach me how to make it?"

"No problem."

Thus, the three of them thoroughly enjoyed a lavish seafood dinner, not only featuring sea eel but also large prawns and sea snails, which tasted great dipped in chili sauce, as this was indeed the freshest way to savor seafood.

After dinner, the trio began to clean up, tossing all the uneaten food directly into the sea without having to worry about pollution, as these remnants could be considered a source of food for the marine life in this area.

After they finished cleaning, they stepped out onto the yacht, sitting side by side on the deck watching the sunset, an experience that seemed endlessly beautiful whether it was sunrise or sunset on the sea.

"Brother Yang, let’s get up early tomorrow morning and go foraging on that island, I hear it’s a lot of fun," Yue’er suddenly said to Lin Yang, who was beside her. She had seen him diving and collecting many good things in the evening, and now she was also intrigued.

"No problem."

Lin Yang naturally wouldn’t refuse; foraging on the island would definitely unlock some new seafood.

The three of them quietly enjoyed the sea breeze, watching the sunset, and seemed to gradually fall in love with this lifestyle. Of course, to live like this, one must have money.

If you don’t have any savings, let alone living a life that includes sailing out to sea, even experiencing a sunset over the ocean can be a challenge.

...

Overnight passed, and Lin Yang was woken up by the alarm clock the next morning.

It was strange, yesterday he woke up before the alarm clock, even having slept poorly throughout the night. He managed during the day, but it was truly hard to sleep with the swaying at night.

But after spending two days at sea, he managed to sleep well last night, maybe because he had gotten used to it?

He got up, washed up briefly, and by then Yue’er had also woken up, but Li Xiaopeng, who had talked about foraging on the island with them yesterday evening, hadn’t.

Lin Yang and Yue’er didn’t wait for him. They piloted the yacht a distance towards the shore, found a better spot to anchor, and then took a floating board down from the yacht and paddled toward the shore.

Following that, they both put on ultra-thin gloves, got their tools, and walked toward a rocky beach on the shore. It was just slightly bright out, with the sun only just rising in the east.

You know, although this island had signs of human visitation, it was clear that not many people came here regularly, and they weren’t interested in the smaller seafood, so the two quickly found quite a bit of seafood upon arriving.

Lin Yang looked around, finding plenty of spicy snails among the crevices of the stones, which he had also gathered a lot of while diving yesterday, so there was no reward this time.

Yue’er, foraging for the first time, was very excited. She didn’t care about the quantity or the variety; as soon as she saw any seafood, she would put it in her bucket without any hesitation.

Lin Yang didn’t mind her; he just picked some large ones, or a few of each type of seafood, leaving the rest.

After picking a few big spicy snails, he noticed some tracks of Flower Shell moving in the sand under those stones.

Flower Shell is scientifically known as "Philippine Venus Clam." Few may know its scientific name, but many are familiar with its common names: in the south it’s called clam, in the north, it’s called "xiǎn" zi.

The reason it’s known as Flower Shell is because in Cantonese, clam and Flower Shell sound the same, hence the name stuck.

This is a very common small shellfish species, available from north to south, and it’s inexpensive. It’s probably six to seven yuan per kilogram in the Northeast, less than five in the southeastern coast, and up to about twelve in the inland Xichuan area, but still not particularly expensive. This shows that this item is naturally cheap and plentiful everywhere.

However, Lin Yang had not caught this creature before, so he didn’t mind unlocking another entry in his collection.

Following the trail of the Flower Shells, he also searched around, quickly finding a few in a small puddle. Without any ceremony, he simply dug them out with his hand and threw them into his small bucket.

After unlocking it, he also checked the rewards from the collection: 100 yuan, plus 1 experience point and 1 point, a pitifully small reward, indeed reflecting the low value of this creature.

Just as Lin Yang finished collecting Flower Shells and stood up, he noticed a small hole from afar. Seeing this hole, his eyes lit up because it was likely the burrow of a clam.

With this in mind, he picked up the salt bottle and walked over, aimed it at the hole, then squeezed some salt into it. Before long, probably feeling that the salinity around it was no longer suitable for survival, something started to emerge from the hole. Finally, a long bar-shaped shellfish, about as thick as a finger, emerged from the hole.

Lin Yang didn’t give it a chance to retreat; the moment he saw it emerged, he grabbed it immediately, catching it in the act!

The reward for unlocking the clam was twice that of the Flower Shell, still pitifully small, but for him, the fun of foraging now clearly overshadowed the value of these seafood finds.
