As the sun set over the beach, Chen Zhiyao leisurely walked from the bustling sandy beach to a secluded rocky area.
At that moment, the phone's camera was pointed at the distant sunset.
Seeing that the tide had receded considerably, she decisively abandoned them, while the two continued to grumble incessantly about their respective heartless bosses and scheming colleagues.
"Cute little money, here I come!"
After putting her phone away, Chen Zhiyao turned around and excitedly called out to her two little helpers.
"Ah Huang, Xue Tuan, come quick! Let's go beachcombing together!"
"Woof woof woof..."
"Awoooooo..."
Before long, the two little ones came running towards her with cheerful steps.
Ah Huang was very clever; he even brought over a ribbon the size of a palm.
After putting the things down, this clever and sensible dog skipped and hopped back the way it had come.
Immediately afterwards, Snowball came over carrying a clam the size of a fist. Its paws and mouth were covered in mud, making it look exactly like a mud monkey.
Before Chen Zhiyao could even scold it, this guy imitated Ah Huang and placed the hairy clam at her feet.
Then, like a gust of wind, it ran towards the sea.
Before it had gone far, the silly dog slipped and fell into a puddle. After howling twice, the little guy simply started playing in the water.
Chen Zhiyao squatted down and happily picked up the fruits of the two puppies' labor.
Belt +1
Clam +1
Chen Zhiyao put the scallops and clams into the bucket and then turned on her X-ray glasses.
The surrounding area is a large reef covered with small oysters. These little guys are not usually harvested by anyone and grow densely.
Small oysters aren't worth much, but she found quite a few finger-sized snails among them.
Some went out to forage alone, while others gathered in twos and threes. She even found two small snail nests.
After scavenging the rocks in front of her, Chen Zhiyao had collected a total of five or six pounds of common snails and about two pounds of large yellow snails.
She divided the snails and put them into two separate net bags.
This will free up the bucket, which can be used to hold other seafood later.
Chen Zhiyao carried her things and continued walking towards the sea.
Soon, she found a huge hairy clam in a small, dry puddle, along with several bright green mussels. This hairy clam was significantly larger than the one Xuetuan had just brought over, probably weighing about half a pound.
There were a few mussels nearby, but they were a bit small. She only picked three of the larger ones and left the rest where they were.
She looked up and saw five stones of moderate size in front of her.
Through X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao could see that there were two pieces with something underneath them.
She first walked to the nearest rock and then quickly lifted it up.
Hidden beneath the rock was a small blue crab, weighing three or four ounces.
The guy immediately realized he had been exposed and hurriedly ran away from Chen Zhiyao.
Chen Zhiyao, who was prepared, caught the little blue crab trying to escape with lightning speed.
Blue Crab +1
Then she went to a larger rock next to her and repeated the same action.
This time, under the rock was a pink octopus and several small sea snails.
Chen Zhiyao had just reached out to grab the octopus, but before she even touched it, she got her hand covered in ink from the octopus it sprayed out.
Luckily, there was a small puddle nearby, and she quickly went over to wash the black ink off her hands.
When they returned, they found that the octopus, which had spat out its ink, was on the verge of death.
She took the opportunity to tuck the little guy into the bucket.
Octopus +1
Flower snail +3
Horseshoe snail +1
Spicy snails +4
Chen Zhiyao looked at the contents of the bucket, nodded in satisfaction, and continued walking forward with the bucket in a good mood.
As she walked, she suddenly saw something moving on the beach in the distance.
"Something's up!" he said, and jogged over.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rather large orchid crab.
The blue shell with some small white spots looks quite nice.
Just as Chen Zhiyao approached, it keenly sensed that Chen Zhiyao's burning gaze was firmly fixed on it.
The clever little creature sensed the approaching threat and, without hesitation, turned around and sprinted towards the nearby crevice in the rocks.
Chen Zhiyao immediately chased after her, and as the distance drew closer, she decisively extended the multi-purpose clip in her hand:
"Let's see where you can run this time!"
The next second, they caught the beautiful orchid crab.
"Haha, caught it!" This little orchid crab is quite heavy; she thinks it weighs about half a pound. She easily made several tens of yuan. She's so happy!
She put the tied-up orchid crab into the bucket, and suddenly noticed a ripple near the rocks not far away, as if something was swimming in the water.
Curious, she walked over and saw a sea bass weighing over three pounds in the puddle.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up; this was a wonderful surprise.
She squatted down by the puddle and first filled the bucket with some seawater.
Then he quickly reached out and tried to use the all-purpose tongs to grab the sea bass.
However, the guy was very agile and easily dodged the clamp in her hand.
Undeterred, Chen Zhiyao turned a corner with her multi-tool and immediately gave chase.
Just as the trap was about to snag the fish in the water, the sea bass seemed to sense the danger and suddenly leaped out of the water.
Soon, the fish fell back into the puddle.
Seeing this, she immediately replaced the multi-purpose tongs in her hand with a small fishing net.
In less than two minutes, the lively sea bass was scooped up.
Seeing that there were still quite a few sea snails in the puddle, she lowered the net in her hand again and scooped up the little creatures one by one.
Sea bass +1
Flower snail +4
Scallops +4
screw +7
Chen Zhiyao looked at her harvest in the bucket with satisfaction and was about to leave when she suddenly felt something moving at her feet.
She looked down and saw that it was a mantis shrimp.
"I was just thinking about how there was still one shrimp that had slipped through the net."
Mantis shrimp +1
After walking another 10 meters or so, Chen Zhiyao came to a small mudflat.
Soon, she found several large breathing holes. Almost every single one contained a plump mantis shrimp.
Chen Zhiyao took out a sand shovel and quickly caught the palm-sized mantis shrimp.
As she walked, she discovered an even larger breathing hole.
There was another mantis shrimp inside, but this one was different from the ordinary mantis shrimp we had just seen.
It was several times larger than the previous one, and it had black stripes on its body like zebra stripes.
"It's a zebra mantis shrimp!"
After realizing that the shrimp inside were zebra mantis shrimp, Chen Zhiyao immediately grabbed a sand shovel and started digging.
She dug a deep pit into the breathing hole in front of her, and then, a giant zebra mantis shrimp was unearthed.
