Beautiful Ocean World
After lunch, there wasn't much to do in the afternoon, and Chen Zhiyao was itching to go out to sea to make money again.
She wanted to go diving under the coral reef to catch seafood; she hadn't had enough fun yet because someone had fallen into the water last time.
Just then, Yan Shuting came looking for her, carrying a fishing rod:
"Tangtang, let's go fishing."
Yesterday, she made over 8,000 yuan by fishing, and her interest in fishing has reached its peak.
Whenever I have free time, I think about going fishing.
Upon hearing that they were going fishing, Chen Weiqiang, who was weeding in the yard, immediately dropped the weeds and ran over excitedly.
"Okay, okay, let's go fishing."
Grandpa Chen, who was playing with Ah Huang, also looked over with great interest.
Chen Zhiyao thought for a moment, then cheerfully suggested:
"How about we go back to the coral reef we saw yesterday? You guys can fish on the boat, and I'll go into the water and catch some seafood."
"Let me go diving with you." Chen Weiqiang was worried about his daughter going diving alone.
"Okay, let's invite Grandma too. We have an extra fishing rod, let's go fishing together."
Grandma Chen had just returned from feeding the chickens at the old house, and she didn't have much to do that afternoon.
Chen Zhiyao invited her along too, so that the old lady wouldn't be bored at home alone.
They left Ah Huang and Xue Tuan at home to look after the house, and the family of five set off for the dock chatting and laughing.
On the way to the dock, Chen Zhiyao saw that the roadside was full of cars, and there had been a lot more people in the village in the past few days.
There were many children she didn't recognize running around the village, chasing and playing with each other.
Young people who looked familiar but whose names they couldn't recall were chatting in a group.
The once quiet fishing village suddenly became lively, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year was even stronger.
As Chen Zhiyao got out of the car, she noticed that there were several unfamiliar cars parked on the dock, and the fishing boats that were usually idle had all been driven out.
Before boarding the ship, Yan Shuting looked at Chen Weiqiang with concern:
"The fishing boat didn't refuel today. Is there enough fuel on board to go out to sea?"
Chen Weiqiang strode towards the boat, patting his chest and assuring everyone:
"That's enough. We filled up with over 1,000 yuan worth of gas yesterday. Seagull Island isn't far, it only takes 40 minutes to get there. The boat has enough gas for two or three round trips."
Once aboard the ship, Chen Zhiyao immediately brought out several life jackets, gave one to everyone, and made sure everyone put them on.
Those who drown are all good swimmers; every time she goes out to sea, she makes sure everyone wears a life jacket.
The family of five, except for Chen Zhiyao, are mostly old fishermen.
The elderly couple and Yan Shuting used to fish at sea using their family's fishing boat. Later, they couldn't make money at sea, so they sold the fishing boat.
Chen Weiqiang also grew up on fishing boats. He later went out to work on boats and made money before returning to open a fishing tackle shop.
Chen Zhiyao, whose family are fishermen, feels that she has followed in her father's footsteps.
The coral reef was not far away, and the fishing boat quickly reached its destination.
Before going into the water, Chen Zhiyao specially gave her second-grade lucky dried fish to Grandma Chen.
"They say there's a 'newbie aura' when it comes to fishing. Go Grandma, I believe in you!"
Grandma didn't take her granddaughter's words to heart, and continued her gentle and kind nagging:
"You little rascal, be careful when you go into the water, don't stray too far from your dad, and remember to signal us if anything happens."
"Okay~"
The father and daughter entered the water right at the edge of the coral reef.
There aren't many corals here, but there is a patch of lush green seaweed, and colorful little fish dart around.
The biggest of these little guys wasn't even as big as Chen Zhiyao's palm, and the smallest was only the size of two fingers. They looked incredibly lively and adorable.
These fish are inexpensive and small, so no one really bothers to eat them.
These little ones were very affectionate, surrounding the father and daughter with curious expressions.
The two played with the small fish for a while, and then swam towards the coral reef ahead.
The father and daughter swam in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right, with a distance of five or six meters between them.
Chen Zhiyao was lucky; she found a small green dragon on a sandy seabed as soon as she came down.
This guy has absolutely no sense of danger, just brazenly exposing himself on top of the sand.

Before it could react, Chen Zhiyao had already reached out the multi-purpose clip in her hand towards it.
Little Azure Dragon +1
"It's quite big, probably weighs about a pound."
Once there's one, there's bound to be two. Soon she found three little green dragons—two large and one small—under a reef not far away.
The two larger ones should weigh over a pound each, while the smaller one, which is probably their baby, weighs only about three ounces.
Chen Zhiyao put the two large ones into a net bag, and let the smaller one continue to grow.
"Grow up quickly, I'll come back to play with you later."
(Baby Green Dragon: We're not making a date?????)
Little Green Dragon +2
Chen Zhiyao got three little green dragons as soon as she came down, but Chen Weiqiang wasn't so lucky.
Aside from the snails, there are all sorts of small, worthless fish.
After moving a little further forward, Chen Zhiyao noticed that the fish around her were swimming towards the fishing boat.
It seems that the supplement is working.
Before coming down, she had secretly added bait additive to the live shrimp she was fishing for.
Knowing that the potion's effective range was ten meters, Chen Zhiyao quickened her pace and swam forward.
Although Chen Weiqiang didn't understand why the speed suddenly increased, he still swam forward with his daughter.
Seeing that the fish nearby were no longer affected, Chen Zhiyao came down and continued her treasure hunt.
The two then arrived at the center of the coral reef, surrounded by beautiful, colorful corals, and hiding even more wonderful things inside.
In front of Chen Zhiyao was a small piece of pale purple coral.
Scattered around this coral are cute little black spiky balls.
"So many sea urchins, and they look quite plump."

Like a little mouse that had accidentally fallen into a rice jar, Chen Zhiyao excitedly rummaged through the net in her hand for the delicious sea urchins.
She wielded the clips in her hands with great skill, filling half the net with tiny spiky balls.
These sea urchins have quite long bristles, and although they look numerous, they weigh at most three or four pounds.
After picking up the sea urchins, Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a large blue crab and several sizable conches hiding under a nearby rock.
Blue Crab +1
Horseshoe snails +2
Spider snail +1
There were actually a few large spicy snails, but Chen Zhiyao thought they wouldn't fetch a good price, so she didn't buy them.
The net bag can only hold a limited amount of things, and it's not easy to carry if it's too heavy, so Chen Zhiyao only wants expensive items.
Ignoring the worthless snails and small fish, she continued swimming a short distance forward.
Immediately afterwards, a group of colorful fish appeared in front of them, and most of them were valuable sea fish.
