A port near a remote fishing village in Guangzhou.
Ning Xiyue, disguised as a middle-aged woman with a fierce face and dark skin, took off the old straw hat on her head, sat down in the shade of a tree by the sea, wiped the sweat off her face, and fanned herself vigorously with the straw hat in her other hand.
"This horrible weather is so hot, and the air is so damp and sticky. I feel really uncomfortable and I'm not used to it at all. I don't know when Ye Chu and the others will arrive. If I had known, I wouldn't have left so early."
"Host, coastal areas are quite humid, but the seaside also has its advantages. There is a lot of seafood. Look at the blue water not far ahead. The seafood must be delicious. Host, they will have to wait at least half a day before arriving. Why don't we go get some seafood first?"
When Tongzi arrived at the beach, he was only thinking about eating and was already drooling towards the sea.
Ning Xiyue followed her gaze and felt the heat from her body blown away by the oncoming sea breeze. Her thoughts also fell on the countless treasures in the sea.
Of course, some eyes were also on the little Tongzi who was flying in the air in front of her, greedily eating the treasures in the sea.
There was a gleam in her eyes and she spoke expectantly.
"It would be great if I could go to the sea and catch some fresh mantis shrimp, crabs, and abalone. I could make salt and pepper mantis shrimp, steamed crabs, and garlic abalone. They'd be so delicious! I'm drooling just thinking about it. But it's a pity that you, Tongzi, are a freshwater turtle and a system, so you can't swim in the sea."
When the little turtle heard about the delicious food, his green eyes grew a little bigger and he puffed out his chest.
"I am from the Black Turtle Clan. I am not afraid of a mere sea. Host, go to the beach, get a wooden bucket, and let's go catch some seafood."
"Okay, fine. I love going to the beach the most."
Ning Xiyue quickly put on her straw hat, not caring about whether she was hot or tired. She ran to a remote mudflat on the beach with ungraceful steps.
He took out an extra-large wooden barrel from the space, held a long pair of pliers in his other hand, and looked at the sea in front of him with anticipation.
"Tongzi, I'm ready."
"Wait."
"Ding, the sign-in location has been found. It's in the South China Sea. The host needs to hold a wooden barrel and pliers, open their arms, and embrace the sea. Do you want to sign in?"
"Sign in."
Is this what Tongzi asked her to wait for? What good things could it be?
Ning Xiyue raised her hands impatiently, holding the wooden barrel in her left hand and the long pliers in her right hand. She happily closed her eyes and embraced the sea with a look of enjoyment as if she was shooting a promotional blockbuster.
Hey, her system is quite like a beautiful sightseeing check-in, recording photos of every place she goes.
"Sign in."
"Successful sign-in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a large yellow croaker, five swordfish, an automatic fishing device, a night-shining pearl, and a water-repellent bead."
"Ah! Are these the water-repellent beads from the mythical world I imagined?" Ning Xiyue asked Tongzi excitedly. He immediately took out the ordinary-looking water-repellent beads that looked like a cooked fish eye and looked at them.
It is embedded in a small ball of iron mesh and connected with an iron chain.
Is this the legendary water-repellent bead? It's indeed simple and unpretentious.
"Yes, host." The little turtle nodded with a smile.
"Are these water-repellent beads that aren't affected by seawater pressure or oxygen levels, allowing me to move freely in the ocean like I'm walking on land?"
"That's right, host, put the water-repellent beads on your neck and we can go to the sea. We can go to the sea and catch any seafood you want. You can choose whatever you want."
Ning Xiyue became even more excited when she heard this: "Then can we go find those sunken ships and grab the treasures?"
The most abundant thing in the underwater world is various treasures. There is no telling how many shipwrecks there are on the seabed from ancient times to the present. She is not greedy and just wants to take some gold, silver and jewelry.
"Uh, host, the water-repellent beads we signed up for are the lowest level. We can't go to those deep sea areas, so we can only play in shallow sea areas."
Oh no, the baby she was about to meet flew away.
Tongzi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Ning Xiyue's head, making her lose her spirit. She hung her head and asked dejectedly:
"How deep can you go underwater?"
"Five hundred meters."
"Enough." Ning Xiyue revived with full health.
Even if we can't get the treasures from the shipwreck, it would be nice to get some pearls or something. Pure wild sea pearls are also valuable things, so it would be nice to get more seafood back.
Today's seafood is pure natural and pollution-free, and is the most delicious.
Ning Xiyue thought so and quickly put the water-repellent beads on her neck. She raised the beads with a bit of worry and asked, "Tongzi, are the iron balls and chains made of solid material? Will they make the water-repellent beads fall out?"
If she loses this, her life will be in danger, so why not keep it in her hands?
"Host, don't worry, the beads won't fall off. It's safe like this."
"Okay, let's get started. I can't wait to go to the sea and catch fish and shrimp. We can have a big meal at noon today."
Ning Xiyue held the bucket and looked at the sea with bright eyes. She would conquer the sea today.
"It will automatically activate upon contact with water and will protect the host's life underwater. Don't worry, host. Take out the Night Pearl and use it as a lighting tool when you go into the sea later."
"good."
Ning Xiyue took out a beautiful light blue night pearl that was half the size of her fist from her backpack.
He looked at the big beads in his hand with eager eyes. This is also a treasure!
With these two things, she felt just as comfortable on the seabed as on the ground, and she didn't have to worry about being seen.
In order to avoid being mistaken for a fool jumping into the sea, Ning Xiyue called out to the system: "Tongzi, please help me see if there is anyone around. I'm about to take action."
"Ding, there is no one within a radius of 100 meters, the environment is safe, the host can start preparing."
Now Ning Xiyue felt at ease picking up the big wooden barrel, holding the night pearl, and happily ran towards the sea. The little turtle flew to Ning Xiyue's head and squatted on it, helping to watch the road and give directions.
Sure enough, as Tongzi said, the water-repellent beads automatically activated when they came into contact with water, forming a large transparent bubble-like ball that wrapped her whole body, preventing her from getting wet at all. She felt particularly safe whether squatting or standing inside.
She also found a particularly useful function of the water-repellent beads, which allows her to switch between walking and automatic modes at will.
When she walks, she moves by herself, just like walking on the ground. The water is completely isolated outside the transparent sphere, so she can just walk forward boldly.
The automatic mode is comfortable. She can just sit inside without moving. The transparent sphere is a submarine, and the beads hanging around the neck are the rudder and remote control. She can just hold the beads and move in the direction she wants to go.
After the lazy Ning Xiyue experienced the addiction of walking on foot, he didn't want to walk anymore. He put the wooden barrel beside him, sat cross-legged, and switched to automatic mode.
