Chapter 6

Yang Tian had been in the seawater for over an hour. Seeing that his net was already full, he prepared to swim back to the shore.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Yang Tian felt as if his foot had stepped on a very smooth "stone."

What is this? Yang Tian bent down and cleared away all the mud and sand on the smooth stone.

Wow! After clearing it, Yang Tian discovered that it was actually a giant clam over a meter in diameter. However, it seemed to have been dead for a long time, almost completely buried in the sand.

Could there be pearls inside? Yang Tian suddenly became excited.

He was in desperate need of money. His family owed 400,000 yuan, and he needed to spend money continuously for his cultivation.

He swam back to the shore directly, placed the full net of lobsters and crabs in front of Zhou Qin and the others, and without paying attention to their surprise, jumped back into the sea. A short while later, Yang Tian swam back to the shore with the giant clam under his right arm and his left hand paddling hard.

Placing the giant clam, which was over a meter in diameter, on the beach, Yang Tian sat down and took a deep breath. He was very tired after all the hard work.

"Wow! Little Brother Tian, where did you get this giant clam? It's so big, there must be pearls inside!" Li Qiang and the others gathered around, looking enviously. Most of the people on the beach also gathered around, and many children were jumping and laughing around the giant clam.

"Right, little brother, open it and see if there are any pearls inside!" The onlookers also said expectantly. Although it wasn't theirs, the idea of extracting pearls from a clam was very exciting.

Yang Tian chuckled a few times. Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he placed his hands on the seam of the giant clam's shells and pushed hard, slowly opening it.

"Wow!" The crowd let out a chorus of exclamations. Inside the clam, although there was a lot of sand, many colorful pearls were revealed, half-exposed under the sand.

Red, white, black, and other colors, the pearls were piled together, dazzling and eye-catching.

Yang Tian calmly poured out all the sand from the clam and gathered all the pearls together.

There were about forty pearls in total, all large-sized, with most having a diameter between 11mm and 13mm. There were five 14mm pearls, two 15mm pearls, and the largest black pearl had a diameter of 16mm. All forty pearls were lustrous and round, clearly of the highest quality.

Yang Tian was puzzled, looking at the stunned Zhou Qin and the others, and scratched his head in a simple manner. Although he knew pearls were valuable, he was a bit vague about their exact prices.

"Ah!!! Brother, you've struck it rich!" Li Qiang ran over, almost wanting to snatch the pearls away!

"Little Tian!" At this moment, Zhou Qin walked over with a serious expression and said, "Considering that I bought so much seafood from you, can you sell all these pearls to me?"

Yang Tian thought for a moment and said, "Sure! Sister Zhou, you name the price!"

"Great!" Zhou Qin nodded excitedly. "To be honest, my family is in the jewelry business. The market price for 11mm pearls is 2000 yuan each, 12mm pearls are 4000 yuan each, 13mm pearls are 10,000 yuan each, 14mm pearls are 20,000 yuan each, 15mm pearls are 50,000 yuan each, and 16mm pearls are 200,000 yuan each! You have 20 pearls at 11mm, 10 at 12mm, and 6 at 13mm, totaling 504,000 yuan. Of course, I won't let you lose out! Including the seafood, I can give you a full 600,000 yuan!"

Zhou Qin spoke confidently, showing no concern about losing out. In fact, in the jewelry business, the biggest fear is a lack of supply. Some items are in high demand but low supply, like this 16mm black pearl, which could easily become the crown jewel of Zhou's Jewelry!

Yang Tian calculated in his mind that 600,000 yuan was already a significant amount, so he nodded and smiled, "Sure, these pearls are all yours, Sister Zhou!"

"Ha ha!" Zhou Qin, fearing that someone else might take them, quickly took a bag and carefully packed the pearls. She then smiled at Yang Tian and said, "Little Brother Tian, should I transfer the money to you?" At this point, Zhou Qin, who was very grateful to Yang Tian, started calling him "little brother."

"Transfer it!" Yang Tian took out his old second-hand phone and gave her his bank account number. Soon, he received a notification from the Agricultural Bank confirming the transfer.

In just half a day, Yang Tian had earned 600,000 yuan, making the onlookers envious and wishing they could replace him. A few bold young men jumped into the water, hoping to find their own fortune.

Yang Tian watched calmly, but deep in his eyes, a surprising light flickered. He had earned in just over a day what others would take decades to earn. His path would definitely not be limited to this.

Like Zhou Qin, who had no hesitation in offering 600,000 yuan, which was equivalent to his father Yang Jiaguo's ten years of hard work! Soon, he would also become such a person!

Cultivation! Earning money! Yang Tian's goals became incredibly firm!

"Here, Little Brother Tian, this is my business card. If you need anything, you can call me directly!" Zhou Qin, in a good mood, found Yang Tian's plump figure quite appealing.

"Thank you, Sister Zhou!" Yang Tian took the business card and smiled.

Now that he had earned 600,000 yuan, he could temporarily stop worrying about money!

After a while, Yang Tian went back into the sea and caught a few one-pound lobsters. He said goodbye to Zhou Qin and the others and went home.

"Hey, Little Tian, you're back so early this morning?" Mother Shen Xinlan was cutting vegetables, preparing lunch, and his sister Yang Shan was also at home, playing with two other little girls.

"Wow! Such big lobsters!" One of the little girls suddenly saw the large lobsters in Yang Tian's hands and exclaimed.

Yang Tian smiled and put the large lobsters into a metal bucket, then said to his surprised mother Shen Xinlan, "I just went to the beach and caught a few lobsters. We can have them for lunch."

"Brother, did you catch these?" His sister Yang Shan ran over, looking up excitedly at her brother.

Yang Tian was very happy to hear his sister call him "brother" and said, "Of course, I caught them!"

"Wow!" Yang Shan cheered and immediately ran to her two friends, boasting, "Did you hear that? My brother caught these! These big lobsters are so big, I can't even finish one!"

"Shan Shan, your brother is so amazing!" The neighbor's children, Xiao Li and Xiao Bei, said enviously.

"Hmph! Next time I see that big hammer, I'll show him that my brother is amazing. If he dares to laugh at me having a chubby brother again, I'll show him a big lobster!" Yang Shan said with a huff.

Actually, Yang Shan was just a child. Previously, her chubby brother had made her the target of ridicule among her friends, so she was reluctant to call Yang Tian "brother." Now, seeing that her brother was so capable, catching such large lobsters, she became a good sister to Yang Tian again.

Watching Yang Shan excitedly showing the lobsters to her friends, Yang Tian felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
