Chapter 5: South Sea Clam Fishing, Only Lacking the East Wind

"Yun Niang, do you want to go to Sitting Oblivion Beach again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Niang's expression froze, and it was unclear what she was thinking. Her gaze suddenly became deep and profound. "Yes," she replied seriously.

This was the first time Fu Ning had seen her so serious.

"Do you believe that within ten days, I can make you go to Sitting Oblivion Beach again?"

"Ten days?!"

Yun Niang's face first showed shock, then turned into doubt. Her black and white eyes scrutinized Fu Ning up and down.

Fu Ning coughed lightly. Being stared at by Yun Niang like this made him feel a little embarrassed.

With his current body, even if Yun Niang didn't believe it, not even his own mother would believe it.

But unexpectedly, after just two breaths, Yun Niang suddenly nodded firmly. "I believe!"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this answer, Fu Ning was taken aback.

At this moment, Yun Niang explained, "The King Crab is even harder to catch than the Cat's Eye Clam, and you were able to catch five of them at once!"

"Not to mention the Cat's Eye Clam?"

Seeing Yun Niang's resolute appearance, Fu Ning was also surprised.

As the ancients said: "With eloquence and wisdom, one can speak skillfully; with talent and intelligence, one can discern opportunities."

From Yun Niang, he saw the shadow of a wise fool.

With Yun Niang as a powerful assistant, his plans should proceed more smoothly.

...

Three days later.

Spirit Turtle Island.

Abandoned Ship Bay.

It is said that there is rarely any wind at sea, only blowing twice a year, each time for half a year.

Originally, Fu Ning thought this was just a joke, but as someone who had transmigrated, he personally experienced this.

Swoosh~

The wind swept over the sea waves, and the small boat rose and fell with it.

On the bow of the boat, Fu Ning was drowsy, and the golden sunlight shone down, roasting his body, producing wisps of white steam.

[Fu Ning

Age: 15

Condition: Severe injury (Origin Qi loss)

Lifespan: 6 days (can be increased by replenishing Origin Qi)

Wonders: Jambu Vortex (conditions not met)]

While pretending to doze off, Fu Ning also held a bundle of hemp ropes.

Each hemp rope was as thick as a baby's little finger. They were arranged in order along the boat's hull, with the other end all hanging into the sea.

From a distance, it looked like an experienced fisherman setting up his fishing rods in another world.

"It moved!"

At this moment, Yun Niang's voice came.

Fu Ning, who was slow to react, noticed that one of the hemp ropes was being quickly pulled.

"Huh? It came fast!"

Fu Ning didn't have time to complain and quickly pulled it up.

Soon, the other end of the hemp rope floated to the surface, and it turned out to be tied to a King Crab underneath.

Crack, crack, crack~

Half of the King Crab's body floated to the surface, its pincers flailing in the air, while the other half remained submerged in the water.

Continuing to pull, the other half of the body also floated to the surface, with its pincers still holding onto a Cat's Eye Clam.

The crab and the clam refused to let go of each other.

In the end, Fu Ning pulled them both onto the boat.

"When the crab and the clam fight, the fisherman gains!"

Fu Ning smirked and threw the crab and the clam onto the deck.

"Hehe, here it comes!"

Yun Niang, quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the Cat's Eye Clam, inserted a small knife into the middle, pried open the shell, released the King Crab's pincers, checked the hemp rope, and threw it back into the sea.

Then she made a few cuts in the middle of the Cat's Eye Clam.

Snap~

A pale silver pearl fell onto the deck, bouncing a few times before finally stopping in the gap between the wooden planks.

"Pearl!"

Yun Niang's eyes curved into crescents. She carefully picked up the pearl, wiped it clean, and exclaimed excitedly, "Big fish, this is the third one!"

Three pearls.

It took more than a year for him to collect three pearls back then.

And Fu Ning, it only took him three days!

"Fortunately~"

In response, Fu Ning just smiled faintly.

Now he no longer feels the excitement he had when he successfully caught the clam for the first time.

Catching clams!

That is Fu Ning's goal in catching the king crabs.

The king crabs and cat-eye clams are natural enemies.

Compared to humans, the king crabs are the natural hunters of cat-eye clams.

So he came up with this method of using king crabs to catch clams.

As he expected, this method is much faster than diving into the sea.

In just three days, he successfully caught dozens of cat-eye clams.

Originally, he planned to gather six clam pearls in ten days, but unexpectedly, he already gathered half of them on the third day.

And the speed of catching clams is still increasing.

Because Fu Ning understands the principle of "casting a wide net to catch more fish".

During the day, he catches clams, and in the evening, he continues to set up branch traps.

Unconsciously, the number of king crabs has expanded from the initial five to seventeen.

Seventeen king crabs, equivalent to seventeen skilled cat-eye clam hunters.

These things don't need to be fed, as long as they are thrown into the sea, cat-eye clams will quickly get hooked.

It's simply a clam-catching weapon!

Fu Ning even has a feeling that he has become a pimp.

He has more than ten clam-catching experts under his command, who catch clams for him continuously every day~

Capitalists would cry if they saw it, and Jews would kneel if they saw it.

And as the number of king crabs under his command increases, the speed of catching clams is further accelerating.

As he expected, in the afternoon of that day, Yun Niang luckily opened another clam pearl.

By the fourth day, there were already twenty-five king crabs.

But unfortunately, there was a sudden heavy rain that day, and they couldn't catch anything.

However, on the fifth day, after the rain stopped, they made up for it even more fiercely, opening two clam pearls in the morning alone!

Adding the previous four, they gathered exactly six clam pearls!

In this way, the originally planned ten-day gathering of clam pearls was completed in just four and a half days.

"Six!"

Yun Niang danced with excitement, and the whole boat swayed with her movements.

The sunlight shone on her, as if she was coated in gold.

Fu Ning didn't say anything, he just watched quietly, his gaze falling on her face, becoming somewhat heavy.

Yun Niang had more whip marks on her body.

Since knowing Yun Niang, new injuries would appear on her body every day.

"Big Fish, when are we going to Sitting Oblivion Beach?"

Fu Ning was taken aback, Yun Niang's eyes were full of urgency, she seemed even more anxious than himself.

He didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the sun.

The sun was shining brightly, it was the most annoying time.

Sitting Oblivion Beach was faintly visible on the sparkling sea surface.

To go there, they needed to take a boat, and it was probably too late today.

Considering his increasingly weakened body, it would be better to go as early as possible.

He made a decision right away: "Tomorrow! We'll go tomorrow!"

Yun Niang nodded eagerly when she heard this, her face full of anticipation. "Great! Tomorrow, I will definitely have an epiphany!"

The two of them, filled with excitement, continued to catch clams.

Surprisingly, they harvested two more before the sun set.

Afterwards, they agreed to set off early the next day and went their separate ways.

...

A night passed without any words.

On the second day.

They arrived at the agreed time, but Yun Niang did not show up.

Fu Ning felt that something was amiss: Could something have happened?

His intuition was soon proven right.

"Big Fish! Big Fish!"

A strange voice suddenly came from outside the bay.

The voice was loud, but seemed aimless.

Fu Ning emerged from the cabin and saw a thin, ragged boy of about thirteen or fourteen standing on the beach, searching around.

When he saw Fu Ning, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Big Fish?! No, it's Fish Big Brother!"
