Fu Wan stared at the fish for a long time. The fish stared at Fu Wan with its two big eyes, its clear eyes revealing a hint of stupidity.
This is... a damselfish?
For humans, things in this world can be divided into two categories: edible and inedible. The same applies to fish in the ocean.
Damselfish are the type of fish that cannot be eaten. They are one of the ornamental fish in the sea, and are mostly small in size. They usually feed on crustaceans and plankton on coral reefs.
Damselfish are mainly distributed in tropical waters such as the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Due to their different living habits, there are also many damselfish populations with relatively high intelligence.
The damselfish in front of Fu Wan was a master of farming among damselfish, the Gao Huan Damselfish.
The damselfish is entirely orange-red, and in its juvenile stage, it has beautiful blue spots that resemble sapphires, making it a very cute ornamental fish.
However, once they reach adulthood, the blue spots on their bodies disappear, their bodies grow larger, and they become very ferocious.
However, Fu Wan remembered it because when she was a child, she heard her eldest brother Fu say that this fish could grow its own vegetables and not only grow vegetables but also guard its own vegetable garden, so it was quite intelligent and very clever.
Since it was an ornamental fish school, Fu Wan only admired the fish's appearance for a moment before continuing her search for the little green dragon.
Unexpectedly, wherever she swam, the damselfish followed, leaving Fu Wan speechless.
Since you can't talk underwater, and even if you could, the fish wouldn't understand, Fu Wan could only show the little blue dragon in her net to the damselfish, and then put on a fierce expression.
I'm a human being, I know how to catch fish, okay?
Don't try to provoke me just because you're an ornamental fish!
When the damselfish saw Fu Wan's fierce appearance, it was not afraid at all, but became even more excited.
It nudged Fu Wan's arm with its tail, then swam a short distance ahead before turning back to look at Fu Wan.
This completely stumped Fu Wan.
Does this mean I should follow them?
Fu Wan tried swimming behind it for a short distance, wondering if this fish was watching her catch the little green dragon and was planning to take her to raid the little green dragon's lair.
As a result, Fu Wan swam with the fish for a short while before the fish stopped for a moment beside a coral reef.
When Fu Wan took a look, good heavens, there was a small patch of messy seaweed covered with sea urchins.
There must be at least a sack full.
So this guy's come here to make him do the hard labor!
Fu Wan was speechless. The damselfish, seeing that Fu Wan did not move, became a little anxious.
It swam over, wiggled its body, picked up a sea urchin with its mouth, and then laboriously handed it to Fu Wan.
Sigh, this guy has no hands or feet, cleaning these sea urchins is really difficult.
If I can help, I will; it's my own fault for running into this situation!
Fu Wan tied a knot in the net bag containing the crayfish and put it aside. Then she took out another net bag and a knife and started stuffing sea urchins into the net bag.
The damselfish was shocked to find that it had struggled for so long to move a sea urchin away, while this ferocious two-legged creature had cleared out nearly half of it in no time.
The damselfish were shocked, but then became excited, swimming around Fu Wan happily, overjoyed.
Fortunately, the area of seaweed was not large, and it took Fu Wan less than ten minutes to clean all the sea urchins. Just as she was about to tie up the net containing the sea urchins, the damselfish next to her suddenly disappeared for some reason.
What happened this time?
Fu Wan felt a little strange, and then thought it was silly of her to help the damselfish clean the sea urchin. Just as she was about to swim to the surface with the two nets in her hand, the damselfish came back.
And as if it had made up its mind, it swam towards Fu Wan at a very fast speed.
What's that it's carrying in its mouth?!
Fu Wan was shocked, thinking she was seeing things. When she blinked, the damselfish was already in front of her, and then carefully spat out what it was holding in its mouth onto Fu Wan's hand.
It was a small gold bar!
Who knows? The damselfish gave her a gold bar!
Fu Wan was surprised and threw the net bag aside. She then habitually picked up the gold bar and bit it.
A clear tooth mark was left on the gold bar.
That's amazing! Where did this fish get its gold bars from?
Fu Wan was overjoyed and couldn't wait to pick up the damselfish and give it a loving kiss, letting it feel the warmth of human affection.
This is a fine damselfish; it even remembers to pay its owner for its service.
Fu Wan carefully put the gold bar away, then picked up her net bag.
As soon as she picked it up, she saw the antennae of a small green lobster emerging from the pile of rocks next to her. Fu Wan immediately grabbed them and put all the big ones into the net, except for the smaller ones.
Now the net bag containing the lobsters was quite heavy, and she needed to get it ashore first.
Seeing that Fu Wan was busy again, the damselfish wondered where she had gone and disappeared again.
Fu Wan floated to the surface, dragging two nets. Fu Ming and Ye Lin were digging for sea cucumbers when Fu Wan's sudden appearance startled them.
"Ah Wan, how are you?"
Fu Wan handed them the two nets she was holding, then asked Fu Ming for two empty nets before turning around and going back into the sea.
If she catches another ten or so lobsters, she'll be all set!
As soon as she went down, before she could even start looking for the lobster hole, the damselfish that had been swimming away earlier returned, and there was even a larger damselfish following behind it.
Okay, another cleaning order has come in!
Because of the gold bar she had just received, Fu Wan couldn't bear to refuse. So she skillfully followed behind the damselfish with her net bag. But when they arrived at their destination, Fu Wan was dumbfounded.
There are way too many sea urchins!
This damselfish is indeed much bigger than the previous one; even its seaweed patch is more than twice the size.
Fu Wan resignedly picked up the sea urchins with a net and a knife. When the net was too full, she simply tied it up and threw it aside. She cut up the remaining sea urchins with her knife and placed them aside. The aroma flowed out with the seawater, attracting a bunch of fish to swim over and eagerly eat the sea urchins she had cut up.
Fu Wan watched as the fish ate happily, then looked around to see if there were any fish that were both valuable and edible. If there were, she would just grab them and bring them back to exchange for some money.
Hey, this is what you call entrapment!
Seeing that the sea urchins on the seaweed patch had been mostly cleared away, Fu Wan started catching the small blue damselfish. The two damselfish watched Fu Wan busy herself and stared at each other. In the end, the larger damselfish swam over and nudged Fu Wan, signaling her to follow.
Seriously? You're coming again?
Even capitalists can't exploit people like this!
Fu Wan waved to it, but the damselfish was very persistent and followed her closely. There was nothing Fu Wan could do but swim over with the fish.
I don't know how many coral reefs they circled before the two damselfish finally stopped.
Fu Wan then noticed a rocky cave about half a person's height not far away.
There was a dark shadow in the cave. Fu Wan looked closely and, oh my god, it was a huge moray eel!
What surprised Fu Wan the most was that there were still many golden lights scattered on the ground beneath the eel's body!
