Chapter 255 Assigning Tasks

The young fiancée may seem easygoing, but she's not. She's not as slippery as the brat, and she'll just tell you straight up that she has other plans.

Despite much persuasion, he still refused.

Hey! Look at their mercenary group, steadily advancing and rising. They recruit mostly young people, and there's no need to think too much about it. The future is definitely theirs. I'm afraid they'll have to give in to even five cents.

The teachers at the school are most looking forward to these people graduating quickly. If they don't graduate soon, they will all be poached by them.

Principal Jin sent away another group of complainers and sat down to drink tea, laughing. "Isn't this good? Young people should be bold and daring. How can we develop if everything is controlled by the family?"

Yun Xiang was unaware of the shock at Mercury Academy. When he saw Xie Yu and his companions coming back, several team leaders went to a meeting together.

Xie Yu briefly explained the situation, and after discussion, everyone decided to divide the team into three teams.

A team of powerful awakeners, most of whom are S-level, went out to sea to fish. They did not go far and stayed in the near sea area, for about two or three days at a time.

Another team used A and B-class salvage vessels in shallow waters for about a day and a night.

The last team, which was weaker and mostly composed of auxiliary divisions, collected supplies along the intertidal zones of the coastal mudflats.

Although marine animals didn't develop superpowers after mutation, their body parts were strengthened. Even the most common fish bones became material for refining weapons.

Their teeth can easily bite through fishing gear; their dorsal fins become weapons, and a light swipe can damage a boat; a flick of their terrifying tail can capsize an entire boat...

The cost of going out to sea is high, so they have to look at the harvest first before deciding where to fish.

After discussing the important matters, everyone chatted while waiting for the meal.

Yun Xiang then realized that almost everyone she knew was there.

In addition to the Wuqian and other mercenary groups, there are also major families, including the Xie family, the Chu family, the Jin family, and the newly-added Yun family.

Even the Ji and Liang families, who were far away on Luofeng Star and spent all day searching for the Seven-Colored Alchemy Bird, arrived the day before them.

In fact, it is easy to understand. This season happens to be the time when the aquatic products on Weiyang Star are the most abundant and plump, and everyone is stocking up for the cold winter.

Marine life reproduces quickly and has a short growth period, almost becoming a disaster, so there is no such thing as restricting fishing.

You can decide how much to catch. As long as you have the ability, no one will bother you if you stay.

"Who got those baskets of seafood?" Zhu Xu came back from outside and found that there were more seafood among the ingredients. He asked in surprise.

"I changed it." Li Zixi saw everyone looking at him and scratched his head embarrassedly. "They are all things we don't need on a daily basis. It didn't cost much."

"Yo!" Zhu Xu patted his shoulder, "Alright, kid, do a good job!"

Li Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone gave him a thumbs up. Li Zixi smiled foolishly. It felt so good to be recognized by others.

After dinner, everyone went to bed early.

At dawn the next day, everyone packed up and set off. Xie Yu and Tengchong drove their hovercraft to the dock early and set sail.

Yun Xiang didn't go out to sea this time, but instead led the group along the coast to search for seafood. As a treasure hunter, her mission was to explore the area.

I secretly noted down the places where seafood was easily gathered and collected, and we would do it together when we got back from the sea.

After all, sea fishing is not your home ground, so it’s fine to do it for a small amount of fun, but it’s not worth spending a lot of time on it.

Yun thought they didn't need to go too early, as the tide wouldn't be out until around nine. The logistics staff from the nearby team were also busy sorting out yesterday's seafood.

Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone picked up small shovels, buckets, bamboo baskets, small fishing nets, etc. and went to the beach.

The tide is low and the weather is short, so everyone is scrambling to get a spot. Those who arrive early are more familiar with the area and can quickly grab a good spot.

The newcomer was unfamiliar with the situation and had no choice but to get a seat. Even if he did get one, he would be pushed aside because of his hesitation and panic, and he would curse in anger.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to them.

Those who fish along the coast are all awakened. They are not in a hurry to catch fish, but first help their families to grab land.

Those with good physical fitness can run fast, occupy the territory first, wait for their own people to arrive, then withdraw and cast a net on the beach.

Yun Xiang had no intention of joining in the fun, and waited for others to walk further along the coast.

Seeing this, a middle-aged woman pretended to be kind and reminded, "There's nothing over there. We dug there a few days ago."

While he was talking, his eyes were fixed on the U-shaped hole on the beach. He used the shovel very quickly, and "pop", a clam was dug out.

The mutated clams were twice as many as before. The woman was delighted and continued searching.

Seeing that they didn't listen to her, Jianyun couldn't help but feel anxious. "There's really nothing over there. It's useless for you to go. Why don't you go to the west and have a look?"

Her entire thoughts were revealed on her face, and anyone could see that there was something over there. However, whether it was real or fake, and how much there was, one had to see it with one's own eyes to know for sure.

So Yun Xiang led his men and walked straight over without stopping.

The woman thought she had fooled everyone and hummed a tune happily.

The people around her couldn't stand her smug look and asked, "Why are you telling the truth?"

The woman thought she had fooled everyone and said proudly, "They didn't see my anxious look. They must have thought there was a lot of seafood over there. What a bunch of idiots, haha!"

"Keep your voice down," the young woman next to her said, "Hurry up and dig. After we're done, we'll go west. The Jin family's logistics team made quite a haul yesterday."

The woman's expression was startled, and she was obviously thinking about the seafood. She quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, dig it up!"

Yun Xiang, who was called a fool, just walked to a place with few people, and saw two legs sticking out of the sand, which looked very funny.

Yun Xiang was immediately delighted. She immediately took out her crab claws and pinched it, and it turned out to be a swimming crab.

Swimming crab is a high-quality nutritious food. It is fat, delicious and has a lot of meat. The two large claws and several crab legs all have a lot of meat.

"Captain is amazing!" Zhao Tianshuo sighed. He felt that wherever the captain went, supplies would be delivered to him.

The others watched with envy, and without waiting for Yun to remind them, they immediately dispersed. Everyone was eager to compete, and they dug with all their might.

Dig for a while and compare, then continue digging, no one will be convinced by the other.

In addition to swimming crabs, there are also cockles, razor clams, conchs, clams, etc. on the beach. The number cannot be said to be abundant, but it is definitely not small.

After they finished digging this area, they continued to head east.

The middle-aged woman was greedy. After digging their own area, she did not go directly to the west, but quietly walked to Yun Xiang and the others.

Yun Xiang had sharp senses, and she noticed as soon as she got closer. She gave everyone a look, and they immediately started to act out their performance, looking dejected and complaining non-stop, which made Yun Xiang want to laugh.

The woman herself loved to act, and she didn't quite believe them. Seeing Yun Xiang sitting there idly, she came over to ask, "How's it going?"

Yun wanted to show her the small bamboo basket, which contained only common clams and mussels. "You're absolutely right."
