Chapter 11

Taking out the tools, this was the first time Ye Yuan had opened a shell. With a nervous heart, he started with the smallest one. After opening it, there was nothing inside. 520 official website

Immediately after the second one, it was the same. It wasn't until the third one that he opened a small, oval black pearl, about the size of a fingernail. When he first saw the black pearl, Ye Yuan's heart rate quickened, but then he felt a bit disappointed when he saw its shape.

Pearls that are not round generally have little value.

The fourth one contained a decent pearl, just white in color, but it was quite large. The fifth one had nothing inside.

Looking at the last two butterfly shells on the ground.

These two were the largest, with a diameter of about 50 cm each. He casually picked one up and opened it.

When the pearl inside appeared before Ye Yuan, even he almost choked on his own saliva. A super large black pearl, as big as a table tennis ball, lay there, completely black.

"Is this even a pearl? Ordinary black pearls are worth tens of thousands, even over a hundred thousand. How much would such a large black pearl cost?" Ye Yuan thought to himself.

He picked up the last butterfly shell, "Let's see what this one can bring me."

After opening it, four small black pearls, about the size of a thumbnail, were nestled in the shell's flesh. Ye Yuan carefully took them out.

Although these four were smaller, their color and roundness were of the highest quality.

He tidied up the tools and dried the shellfish meat. Looking at the various sizes of pearls on the ground.

He took out his phone and took photos of each pearl, sending them to the leader, Zhao Chuan. Zhao Chuan's family ran a jewelry company, so he would certainly know the value of these pearls.

In less than a minute, Ye Yuan's phone rang.

"Are the pearls in your pictures still with you?" Zhao Chuan asked impatiently before Ye Yuan could even speak.

"Still here, I want to ask you about the value of these pearls. How about it, isn't that thing pretty good?"

Ye Yuan replied with a joking tone.

"Fourth, do you plan to sell this thing, or are you just asking for the price?" Zhao Chuan asked in an unusually serious tone.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll sell it. I need money now. What price can these things fetch?"

Zhao Chuan paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "The others are fine, but I can't really give you a price for that largest black pearl. In two days, before my grandfather's birthday, our company will hold an auction. I'll add your black pearl to it, so it can fetch a good price."

Ye Yuan thought about it and agreed, setting the date with Zhao Chuan to leave for Shangjing in four days.

Before hanging up, Zhao Chuan reminded Ye Yuan to be careful on the way and to take good care of the pearls.

......

The four days passed quickly. During these days, Ye Yuan spent all his time in the sea, and the seafood he caught each day was plentiful. He sold some of the best to classmates in the group chat, earning 20,000 yuan in cash.

The fish with lower economic value were exchanged for points.

After continuous efforts, his points finally broke 5000. When the points reached 5000, the system gave a reward.

"Congratulations, host, your points have reached 5000. Reward: +5 Water Elemental Affinity."

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 5130

Right after the prompt ended, another one sounded.

"Can open初级渔场空间 (初级) (costs 3000 points). Do you want to open it?"

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and clicked "Yes."

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 2130

Title: Intern Fisherman (Water Elemental Affinity +6)

Fish Farm Space (初级): Accelerates the growth of aquatic life in the fish farm. Can change the appearance of aquatic life using points.

Ye Yuan floated in the space, feeling the changes in it.

The coral below him visibly turned into soil.

Next to the original stone tablet, a pond covering several dozen square meters appeared, and the entire space became more vibrant with the pond's appearance.

Looking at the sea, the fish Ye Yuan had caught had grown a bit. The two red mint angelfish were now about 10 cm long.

Learning that he could change the appearance of fish using points, Ye Yuan directly experimented with an ornamental fish. He locked the fish in the space, preventing it from moving, and mentally changed the patterns on its body. Soon, the fish had the pattern he wanted.

Seeing such a change, Ye Yuan couldn't help but laugh, his voice echoing in the fish farm space.

"This money-making speed is so fast that I can't slow down even if I want to."

He then changed the two "red mint angelfish" as well.

He found that the first ornamental fish only required a minor change, costing 20 points, while the two "red mint angelfish" required more significant changes, costing 50 points each.

Looking at the "red mint angelfish" he had changed, each had a "Shou" character on its body, one in seal script and the other in clerical script, made very faintly, only visible upon close inspection.

After several days of studying the fish farm space, Ye Yuan experimented with electricity, diesel, gasoline, and natural gas. Although these energy sources could be exchanged for points, they were not as cost-effective as sea fish.

He still had over 2000 points left, but he needed to use them sparingly.

......

Standing in front of the Shangjing airport, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Ye Yuan had a single-shoulder sports bag on his back and a black cloth bag in his hand. Inside the black cloth bag was an aquarium containing the "red mint angelfish" he was giving to Zhao Chuan's father. He had taken them out in the restroom after landing, while the other ornamental fish were still in the fish farm space.

Ye Yuan told his parents he was going to Shangjing to attend a classmate's father's birthday party. They readily agreed and told him to stay a few more days in Shangjing.

A deep blue Lamborghini stopped in front of Ye Yuan, and Zhao Chuan got out of the car. Before Ye Yuan could speak, Zhao Chuan gave him a hug.

Zhao Chuan, who was a bit chubby during school, now looked well-built, with all the extra fat gone.

He patted Ye Yuan's shoulder and said, "Good job, you're much stronger than before school. Did you bring that thing?"

"Yep, it's here," Ye Yuan said, nodding toward his single-shoulder bag.

"Great, get in the car. You'll stay at my place for the next few days. The second will arrive tonight, and I'll call the third to come directly to my place. We'll have a good time together."

Among the four roommates, Zhao Chuan was the oldest.

The second, Zhang Wujin, was from Xisheng and had a coal mine. He was a typical rich second-generation playboy. His name, given by his father, meant "endless coal."

The third, Deng Kai, had a father who was a regular employee in a state-owned enterprise, and his mother ran a flower shop in Shangjing. Although their conditions were average, they were much better than Ye Yuan's family in the past.

Zhao Chuan's family lived in a high-end residential area, which was divided into eastern and western zones. The eastern zone had high-rise apartments, while the western zone had villas.

Zhao Chuan drove to a villa, which had its own private swimming pool. The villa had a simple European style.

Walking into the villa, he realized he didn't live with his parents. This villa was a gift from his grandfather after graduation. His grandfather now lived a semi-retired life, and Zhao Chuan handled many of the company's affairs.
