Jiang Lin didn't even take off his diving suit before he sailed to a deserted island and landed.

"Wow, there's a lot of good stuff in the nearshore area. Sis, let me tell you, sea urchins and starfish are really good. I'm sure you'll love them. Steamed sea urchin with egg is delicious. We didn't bring any eggs today, so we'll eat them raw. Let me tell you, the taste is amazing, indescribably sweet and fresh."

After Jiang Lin, a foodie, joined the army, his greatest pleasure every day was eating. His family was worried that he might not be used to seafood, but to their surprise, he not only ate it but also loved it.

"In the army, I learned to eat a lot of things I had never eaten before from my comrades who grew up by the sea. At first, I was a little resistant, but after eating them, they were really delicious. We live inland, and every year during the Spring Festival and other holidays, we only eat chicken, duck, fish, meat and eggs. But after joining the navy, oh my god, my eyes were opened. There are many kinds of shrimp and all kinds of fish that I had never seen before. They are a bit fishy, ​​but as long as it is meat, I don't mind."

Jiang Lin is not picky about food; he's happy as long as he can eat his fill, especially now that he can eat meat at every meal.

Jiang Ruyu smiled and said, "Grandma and Grandpa were worried that you wouldn't be used to the food, but they didn't expect you to adapt so well. It's great that you can eat. Today I'll also try the delicious food you mentioned."

Once on the island, Zheng Yang started a fire, and Jiang Lin taught his sister how to prepare sea urchins. He even taught a student to eat a sea urchin on the spot. Jiang Ruyu frowned as she watched, but under Jiang Lin's encouragement, she cautiously tried eating a raw sea urchin for a while.

As the crab roe-like substance entered her mouth, Jiang Ruyu frowned as she savored the taste of the sea urchin. Her first impression was that it was fishy and a bit salty, followed by a slightly sweet aftertaste. The taste was a bit strange, so she tried another piece. This time, she didn't reject it and actually quite liked the texture of the sea urchin.

"How is it, sis? Is it good? Can you eat it?" Jiang Lin was more concerned about his sister eating than he was about eating himself. He simply wanted to share what he liked and thought was good with the people he cared about.

Jiang Ruyu nodded: "It's delicious, but a little fishy."

"Try adding some soy sauce."

For lunch, the group ate boiled oysters, boiled starfish, and raw sea urchins. This time, Jiang Lin was smarter; he asked his comrades in the cookhouse to prepare a bowl of garlic sauce for him to bring along. Wow, the tender, chewy, and springy abalone dipped in the sauce tasted absolutely amazing.

The group ate with great enjoyment. Jiang Ruyu still loved starfish the most: "Da Linzi, you're wrong. The roe of the starfish tastes just like crab roe. It's so delicious."

"Hehe, I find eating that troublesome. Here, sis, have a piece of lobster meat. There aren't many near the coast like this, and the meat is really delicious." Jiang Lin peeled a whole lobster for his sister to eat.

Zheng Yang glanced resentfully at his brother-in-law and quickened his pace in peeling starfish for his girlfriend. Sigh, his brother-in-law was just an eyesore.

After enjoying a delicious meal, they rested for half an hour. Jiang Lin, having nothing else to do during this half hour, smashed half a basket of rock-like objects by the waves crashing against the reef.

"Hehe, sis, this isn't a rock, it's a barnacle. Look, the meat inside is still moving. It's a real delicacy. You'll see when you eat it."

With half a basket of barnacles in his hands, Jiang Lin steered the boat further away and began teaching his sister how to put on a diving suit and an oxygen mask. After testing the waters several times, Jiang Ruyu finally dared to go into the sea.

When Jiang Ruyu opened her eyes to see the sea for the first time, she felt like a country bumpkin, overwhelmed by the sight. Then she remembered her check-in.

"Tongzi, sign in. The territory is bigger this time, isn't it?"

The system showed no emotion; it simply followed the instructions: "The system has detected an unknown area and is updating. Please wait, host."

As expected, Jiang Ruyu continued to dive, ignoring the problem. After several practice sessions, Jiang Ruyu officially reached the seabed for the first time. She touched the sand on the seabed and even managed to find a large conch lying in the sand, which was the largest conch she had ever found.

Once she had adapted to the pressure of the seabed and was even able to go beachcombing on the seabed, the system update was finally completed.

"Host, the update is complete. Please sign in."

Jiang Ruyu raised an eyebrow: "Sign in."

"Yes, check in at the vast ocean floor."

A few seconds later, the system's voice came: "Congratulations, host, you have received a seafood gift pack, a treasure from a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea, and a one-time absolute physical defense bead."

Upon hearing these two items, Jiang Ruyu instantly understood the function of the defensive bead and decided on its destination: Jiang Lin. Since only his profession was dangerous, giving the defensive bead to him would give him peace of mind.

Having obtained this item, Jiang Ruyu lost interest in continuing to dive. She waved to Da Linzi, indicating that she was going up. After Jiang Linzi came over, Jiang Ruyu took the opportunity to place the positioning chip she had obtained from the previous check-in on his body.

As the chip flashed white light and entered Da Lin's body, Jiang Ruyu smiled silently. Jiang Lin came carrying several large scallops. The two of them surfaced, and Zheng Yang took the things from their arms and helped them onto the boat.

"Sis, are you done playing? Aren't you done?" Jiang Lin asked his sister.

"I'm too tired, I can't keep up. You guys go down and have fun, I'll wait for you on the ship." Jiang Ruyu wanted to see what the sunken treasure was.

"Alright."

Zheng Yang and Jiang Lin went downstairs again. Zheng Yang rarely had such a chance to relax, so Jiang Ruyu naturally wanted him to have a good time.

After they all went down, Jiang Ruyu opened the gift package containing the sunken ship's treasure.

When Jiang Ruyu finally saw what was inside, she was completely dumbfounded.

"Oh dear."

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

"Am I struck it rich? Can I take this?"

After Jiang Ruyu realized what was happening, she asked herself this profound question: Look at all this! A complete set of famille rose antique porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, stamped with the official kiln seal. Taking this out now would be a death sentence.

There are also many well-preserved paintings and calligraphy, but she hasn't dared to open them. In the past, people had special methods for preserving these things, and she was afraid that opening them would destroy them. Now these things can't be exposed to the light of day, so she can only wait for future policy reforms to see if she can donate them to the country.

Besides some antique porcelain, calligraphy and painting ornaments, there are some things that Jiang Ruyu feels she can keep, such as this box containing forty or fifty small gold ingots. Can this be considered her reward for her hard work?

Finally, let's talk about two pieces of jade jewelry that are simply irresistible.

One piece is a string of beads with a beautiful, bright green color. The beads aren't very big, but all the colors are a very eye-catching green. It's such a long string, it must be worth quite a bit of money.

There is also a pair of round jadeite bangles, with pure color, no impurities, and excellent translucency.

"Oh dear, it's true what they say: no man can get rich without unexpected wealth, and no horse can get fat without night grass."
