"Go and collect the fish."

Mingjing turned around and grabbed a screwdriver.

"Mingjing, what are you doing? There's no market for sea turtles, you can't kill them!" Mingliang exclaimed in horror.

"I'll clean the barnacles for him."

Mingjing rolled her eyes at him. Barnacles often attach themselves to the surface of large creatures, absorbing their nutrients to multiply and grow stronger.

The screwdriver pried at the barnacles, and large chunks of barnacles were pulled up from the ground, leaving red marks.

After cleaning the back, Mingjing turned the turtle over again, revealing even more barnacles on its belly.

It took more than an hour to clear away the small mountain of barnacles. Mingliang tossed a few small fish to the sea turtle, and after it had eaten and drunk its fill, the two of them worked together to throw it into the sea.

Sitting and picking up fish wasn't very interesting, so Mingjing grabbed a hand net and cast it into the sea.

The first net caught a fish, and it was very heavy.

"Mingliang, come help me!" Mingjing cried, clutching the fishing net, barely able to hold on.

Mingliang gripped the fishing net, and the two of them worked together to lift it up.

"Good heavens, they're big yellow croakers! And there's more than one!"

Bright clicked his tongue in amazement. He had just encountered a school of silverfish, and now he had encountered a school of large yellow croakers. He was incredibly lucky today.

As the fishing net was pulled up, Mingjing carefully examined it.

Five large yellow croakers, three of which weigh about ten pounds each, one weighs two pounds, and the largest weighs fifteen pounds.

"Come on, let's continue!" Ming Dahai excitedly directed.

He dared not touch it, afraid of ruining his good luck.

Mingjing continued casting his net, and sure enough, he caught two more large yellow croakers. He cast his net five times in a row, catching seven or eight yellow croakers weighing three pounds each.

"I'm rich! I'm rich again!"

Ming Dahai started the boat and laughed loudly.

"Dad, there are sixteen large yellow croakers in total, and our tank can't hold them all," Mingjing said worriedly.

The largest yellow croaker must be half a meter long. The tank is full of silverfish, so there's no time to put so many yellow croakers in it, and it's too hot to leave them there.

Mingliang stood up. "An island! There's an island!"

Looking up, Mingda saw that it really was an island, lush and green, and it looked quite large.

"Where has the Sea Goddess led us?" Mingliang looked around, completely lost.

"Never mind that, let's go to the island and take a look."

"Dad, take us to the island first, then take these big yellow croakers back and have Xie Jun'an deal with them. Then come back and pick us up."

If we bring so many large yellow croakers back, there will be an uproar, not only if we leave them at the collection point to wait for people to pick them up, but even as soon as they leave the dock, it will cause an uproar.

"Then I'll go back first."

Ming Dahai excitedly stowed the anchor and turned back.

He had never been to this place before, so he could only take a compass and head north for two hours before finally seeing the Honey Island he had seen earlier.

Elsewhere, Mingjing had nothing to do on the island, so she casually set up a makeshift stove and heated up the dumplings she had made that morning for a quick bite.

After eating and drinking her fill, she took a basket and wandered around the island.

The island was covered with konjac vines. When you break open a root, the inside is pink. Mingjing tasted it with the tip of her tongue and found it to be colorless and tasteless, somewhat like sweet potato, and not very tasty.

Besides the vines, there was also plenty of seafood. She picked up five lobsters, and the abalone and sea cucumbers were also quite large.

"Mingjing, come here!"

Mingliang was squatting on the beach, calling out to Mingjing.

"Mingjing, look what this is!"

Mingjing walked over and saw a dark stone lying on the beach.

“Stone?” Mingjing frowned.

"A stone? It smells so good," Mingliang leaned closer to smell it; it had a peculiar aroma.

"fragrant?"

Mingjing's eyes lit up. He put down the wooden bucket in his hand, lay down on the ground, and smelled it.

It really smells good.

Stones that emit a fragrance? By the sea.

A flash of white light crossed Mingjing's eyes, and he heard the sound of gold coins popping.

[Congratulations, host! You have found the super treasure, Ambergris! Luck value: 1000]

Mingjing's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ambergris?

How did she manage to find ambergris?

Ambergris is the excrement of sperm whales. It can be used to make perfumes and medicines. It is extremely expensive on the market, and it is said that one gram of ambergris costs several hundred US dollars.

The thing in front of her was about the size of a basketball and weighed around 20 kilograms.

She remembered that in her past life she had attended an ambergris auction, where a seven-kilogram piece of ambergris sold for 1.68 million.

"Mingjing, what's wrong?" Mingliang asked, puzzled.

Mingjing got up, picked up the ambergris incense, weighed it in her hand, and examined it carefully from all angles.

High-quality ambergris will have bone and impurities on the surface, and its color will be yellow or black. It will have a rich aroma with a milky scent, and it will feel smooth and oily to the touch.

This fits all the criteria right now.

Mingjing was so excited she didn't know what to do. She carefully picked up the piece of ambergris and whispered, "Pour out the contents of the bucket and wipe the water off."

Mingliang didn't ask why, and directly poured the seafood from one bucket into another. After drying the water stains on his clothes, Mingjing put the ambergris in.

"Mingjing, what is this thing? It looks very valuable."

Ambergris.

Upon hearing that it was ambergris, his bright eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Ambergris?"

He got excited. Fishermen along the coast all knew about ambergris. It was even rarer than abalone, and they heard that a gram of it cost a lot of money. Nobody had ever seen it.

They actually ran into each other.

"Don't make a sound. This must not be known to anyone else," Mingjing said in a very low voice.

She had no interest in collecting seafood now; her hands trembled with excitement as she sat on the rocks gazing at the sea.

She thought she could just lie down and relax for the rest of her life.

Ming Dahai delivered the fish to the purchasing point and then went out to sea again to pick up Mingjing.

"Dad, don't pick it up anymore."

Mingjing showed the ambergris to Mingdahai, and upon hearing that it was ambergris, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

"You really can find this."

Decades ago, he heard that someone had found a fist-sized piece of ambergris in Hong Kong, sold it for several hundred dollars, and became rich from then on. He thought it was just a legend.

I never expected such a windfall.

"I'm not picking them up anymore, I'm going home."

Compared to ambergris, those rotten fish and shrimp are not worth mentioning at all.

"Dad, the fish traps and hooks haven't been put away yet."

A bright reminder.

"We'll collect it tomorrow."

Ming Dahai was eager to find someone to cash in on this item, so he had no time to care about anything else.

"Dad, don't rush. When we get back to the dock, it will be crowded. We need to wait to avoid attracting attention. The fish traps will be collected tomorrow, but the hooks can't wait."

Ming Dahai thought it made sense; since they had already made the decision, they couldn't let it go to waste.

The three left the island and hurriedly went to retrieve their fishing hooks.

Even though the time spent in the store was short, Mingjing still managed to retrieve two tiger stripes.

"Mingjing, your luck is unbelievable, how can you be so lucky?" Mingliang clicked his tongue in disbelief as he finished closing the net.

Just as he was speaking, he suddenly felt the net in his hand stop and sink rapidly.

"This is a big fish."

Bright was pulled halfway down by the big fish and almost fell into the sea.

"Let me help you, stand firm."

Mingjing stepped forward and grabbed the fishing net, and the two of them pulled back with all their might.

Thankfully, the fishing net was sturdy, otherwise the fish would definitely have escaped.

"Mingjing, your fishing net is great, it's really durable. Where did you buy it?" Mingliang exclaimed through gritted teeth.

"Stop talking nonsense and save your energy."

Mingjing spoke through gritted teeth, afraid that if she relaxed, the fish would take them all down with them to bait the area.

The big fish stirred up waves in the water, and the two people and the fish were locked in a stalemate for half an hour before the big fish finally floated to the surface.

"This is... tuna?"
