Chapter 152

The smaller salmon are thrown back into the sea to allow them to grow, while the larger salmon are carried into the freezer.

After that, Xie Xingchen turned on [Sky Mode] again.

The silent deep-sea night is inexplicably frightening.

Since today's task has been overfulfilled, let's hurry up and slip away.

Floating in the sky, above is the shining moon, and below is the endless dark sea.

Lying on the deck fence and blowing the salty/wet sea breeze, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but said, "No wonder there is a word called deep-sea phobia."

The deep sea bred too many unknown creatures. For small human beings, this place is like an abyss—it cannot be seen directly.

And just when Xie Xingchen was in a trance, there was a huge sound of water flowing below.

—— "哗啦".

A gigantic blue whale emerges to spout water from the surface.

After spraying the water, it slowly entered the ocean again and left slowly.

so beautiful!

Xie Xingchen looked at the blue whale with bright eyes, attracted by its graceful posture.

He stayed for a long time until the blue whale left, and finally reluctantly returned to his room.

Just like yesterday, Xie Xingchen didn't close the curtains when he slept.

next day

It was past five in the morning.

When the first ray of light appeared on the sea level, Xie Xingchen was awakened by the changing light.

He sat on the bed with the quilt in his arms, intoxicated by the sunrise on the sea.

The sun that just rises in the morning is not golden.

When it first came out, the light was slightly whitish.

Then, it turned into a piece of vermilion, like the afterglow of the setting sun and like a flame burning the clouds.

Slowly, as the sun rose, its color began to change, from vermilion to orange red, then orange, and finally to the familiar golden yellow.

This is a kind of advanced beauty enjoyment!

It is the supreme aesthetics that nature bestows on all living beings.

Opening the sliding French windows, Xie Xingchen walked onto the balcony barefoot.

With his slender white hands on the fence, he stood on the balcony and looked into the distance.

Close your eyes and quietly take a deep breath of the exceptionally fresh air from the morning.

Opening his eyes, the corners of Xie Xingchen's mouth rose slightly.

Another day full of energy is about to start!

Wash, change clothes, go out.

When he opened the door, he found that Fa Cai and the others had also come out of the bedroom.

Xie Xingchen greeted with a smile: "Good morning! Fa Cai, Fu Gui, Chang Shou."

Before, Xie Xingchen asked Fa Cai and the others to choose their own bedroom.

In the end, the three robots picked Xie Xingchen's neighbor without even thinking about it.

One left and one right face to face.

Just form a "convex" font.

After discovering this, Xie Xingchen was quite helpless.

But it's not bad to choose a bedroom like this, at least - it's very convenient for him to find someone!

So Xie Xingchen went with them.

The only thing that makes him a little embarrassed is that because the three bedrooms are connected, the balconies of the three bedrooms are also connected, with only some small partitions in between.

And he was sandwiched between Fa Cai and Fugui, so - he would occasionally see Fa Cai and Fugui walking on the balcony outside the French windows.

Xie Xingchen: Numb.jpg

Just, don’t take a good passage and choose to turn over the balcony?

What kind of fetish is this?

But because there were not many times, Xie Xingchen didn't bother to talk about them, so he just let them take it easy and pay attention to safety.

...

Hearing Xie Xingchen greet them, the three robots also greeted him full of energy.

After that, everyone went to the kitchen together to start making today's food.

Fugui's cooking skills are average among them, but he is very good at kneading dough, so he started kneading dough as soon as he arrived in the kitchen.

Seeing Fugui, he kneaded the dough without saying a word, while Fa Cai let out a helpless sigh, and then resigned to his fate, he began to chop the stuffing, ready to make the stuffing.

In his words - it is really difficult to have a little partner who kneads dough every day.

Every time he makes a gourmet meal, he has to think about what the noodles can do.

This very limited his play.

And Chang Shou is a bachelor, he grinds soybean milk every day!

In fact, Ludwig had someone make a soymilk machine for Xie Xingchen, but the soymilk made by the soymilk machine did not have the fragrance of hand-grinding.

Chang Shou, who dotes on his master very much, has hand-ground soy milk for Xie Xingchen every day since he knew this.

And what about Xie Xingchen who was surrounded by three robots?

He wasn't lazy either.

Fa Cai, Fu Gui, and Chang Shou cook him breakfast, and he develops new energy liquids for them.

So far, because of fortune, wealth, and Chang Shou, the mechanical life and ordinary robots are full of happiness.

For hundreds of years, there have been only about twenty kinds of energy liquid flavors.

Not too little, but definitely not too much!

And what's worse than the nutrient solution is that these energy solutions have a single taste, and several of them are derived from the same taste.

Even because mechanical life forms are generally not picky eaters, the taste of the energy liquid is generally much worse than that of the nutrient liquid.

But that's all in the past.

Since Xie Xingchen got the title of "Energy Liquid Developer" on his head, the energy liquid industry has since entered the involution mode.

In fact, everyone doesn't want to roll.

But there is no way, who asked Xie Xingchen to criticize it?

He can develop a new flavor of energy liquid in almost a month, and the taste of this energy liquid is not only unique, but also very fragrant!

It is so fragrant that the voices of begging Xie Xingchen to develop a new flavor of nutrient solution are getting louder and louder recently!

That is to say, Xie Xingchen has less internet access!

Otherwise, according to his previous lack of money, Xie Xingchen might really embark on the road of "nutrient solution developer".

——If netizens find out that he didn’t develop a new flavor of nutrient solution because he doesn’t know, everyone will be pissed off.

But it was precisely because they didn't know that everyone thought it was because they specialized in surgery, and thought that Xie Xingchen couldn't develop the flavor of the nutrient solution, and they were regretting this.

After working for an hour, when Xie Xingchen put down his work, breakfast was ready.

Today's breakfast - Xiaolongbao, pan-fried buns, soy milk.

After eating, Xie Xingchen felt comfortable all over.

He is even happier when he thinks that there are seafood feasts waiting for noon and evening.

A group of people leisurely walked to the deck to enjoy the air.

The cool wind is blowing, and it brings the chill of autumn.

Seeing another spraying blue whale swim by below, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but take a picture of it spraying water.

In the end, he said with satisfaction: "Fugui, let's sail the boat quickly, let's go find geoduck clams."

Hearing this, Fugui nodded and went straight into the cab.

Fa Cai and Chang Shou, who did not light up the "driving skills and proficiency", imitated their masters, lying on the fence leisurely and looking at the interesting scenery of the ocean below.

Fugui who came to the cab did not switch the mode of the floating boat to [Ocean Mode].

Still in [sky mode], when the floating boat floats in the air, it looks like the blue sky is the sea, and it "plays" and "plays" among the blue sky and white clouds to its heart's content.

Fugui switched from [Sky Mode] to [Ocean Mode] again when he reached a certain sea area.

The noise of the floating boat re-entering the sea scared away all the nearby fish and shrimp.

It wasn't until it calmed down that the fish and shrimps swam back leisurely.

...

Geoduck is an extremely rare seafood.

It generally grows in the sediment of the seabed several hundred meters away and needs to be collected one by one.

Xie Xingchen had watched a video of harvesting geoduck before.

It was this video that let Xie Xingchen know about the growing environment of geoduck.

Harvesting geoduck by diving is difficult in modern times.

But with today's technology, this is not difficult at all.

——A simple underwater detection robot can do it.

And not only the underwater detection robot can do it, but also every living body can do it!

Even if their bodies are "weak" like humans, they can still harvest geoducks through submarines and related equipment.

Xie Xingchen dived yesterday and experienced the underwater scenery himself.

That being the case, he didn't "join in the fun" with the robots today.

It's not that he doesn't want to join in the fun.

But his diving skills are not good.

The other thing is—the ocean is an unfamiliar environment after all.

If he wants to go down, I'm afraid he will have to send a robot to protect him, and everyone can't do things more relaxed. In the end, he will most likely be a dragging existence.

Xie Xingchen, who is very confident about his diving ability, doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone.

After carefully describing the appearance of the geoduck and drawing a sketch, he said goodbye to Fa Cai and the others.

After saying goodbye, Xie Xingchen came to the movie room.

Put all the shots of robots (including the three of them) on the super big screen in front.

Xie Xingchen didn't put many robots into the water.

Among these small number of robots, Fa Cai, Fu Gui, and Chang Shou are the most "human" and can think independently like humans.

Therefore, Xie Xingchen focused his attention on other robots.

In particular, the original function is only used as an underwater detection robot used as a detector.

His eyes were mostly on them.

Diving is not a difficult task for these robots.

Humans need all kinds of equipment to dive, but for most waterproof robots, diving is as simple as walking in water and walking on land.

Xie Xingchen and Fugui chose this sea area, the bottom of which is mud and sand, and the depth is just stuck between 400-500 meters.

With no time to appreciate the scenery of Manli under the sea, Xie Xingchen concentrated his attention, trying to find traces of geoduck from more than 20 screens.

But it's a pity—half an hour passed, and he didn't find anything.

Xie Xingchen took a sip of lemon iced tea with dull eyes, and sighed, "It's too difficult, I'm going to lose my eyesight."

After a while, he said with a bitter face, "Xiaomo, are you there? I might need a bottle of eye drops."

Rubbing his dry eyes, Xie Xingchen "shamelessly" begged the system to put a bottle of eye drops on him.

[System: Ding dong, the eye drops are on the shelves, players can go to the system mall to buy them by themselves.】

Although don't know why, but in the past few days, the system seems to be really easy to talk to?

It was so easy to talk that Xie Xingchen couldn't help pushing forward.

Otherwise, according to his usual habits, it is impossible for him to make such a request that cannot be accepted at first glance.

However, it is different recently, he is confident that the system will be on the shelves!

Opening the system mall, he really saw the thing called "eye drops".

——Then, he: ?

Farewell.jpg

sorry!Excuse me, it turns out that I am not sensible!

Come on, what eye drops are these?

100 million star coins?And one is only about 100 drops?That is equivalent to 1 drop of 1 million star coins?

Hehe, do I deserve it?

Bah, I don't deserve it!

Xie Xingchen, who was secretly poked in the heart, suddenly turned green.

Sure enough, you can't cheat the system.

The pit system pits and finally becomes the system pit him.

Just like the 100 million star coin eye drops at the moment.

Is this normal eye drops?

No, this is the system's warning to him.

Touching a soft knife, Xie Xingchen shrank immediately.

Xie Xingchen pre-empted the attack, complaining sadly: "Little devil, you have learned badly."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that the system would give him some small tricks.

Xie Xingchen waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, who made me a generous, kind and generous player, although you tricked me, but I don't care, I really don't care."

Before the system could answer, Xie Xingchen continued his efforts: "Well, that's it, I won't chat with you anymore, I have to continue watching the video, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life if I miss the geoduck."

The player has said not to chat with you.

Even if the system has more words, it can't make a sound.

System: Succeeded to be aggrieved.

...

Time gradually passed away under Xie Xingchen's full attention.

Although no geoduck has been found so far, Xie Xingchen is not without success.

At least... His robot caught a lot of big lobsters.

But the geoduck that Xie Xingchen wanted was as invisible, and there was no shadow at all.

Three hours had passed, and he still hadn't found the geoduck. Xie Xingchen wondered if he had misremembered the location?

When Fugui and the others came up to rest and were about to go into the sea, Xie Xingchen couldn't help but want to go down with them.

But fortunately he held back.

And this forbearance really paid off!

15:05 pm

When an underwater detection robot approached a muddy seabed, it spotted a wriggling geoduck.

Seeing that familiar figure, Xie Xingchen almost cried with joy.

He quickly contacted the robot with an underwater communication device, asked him to start harvesting geoduck, and sent its coordinates to Fa Caisan and other underwater detection robots, so that they could go to that sea area immediately.

Finding one geoduck means that there are countless geoducks here!

Xie Xingchen was not in a hurry to ask the robot to bring him the geoduck he had caught to unlock the illustration book. He asked it to continue searching in that sea area, hoping to find more geoducks.

In less than ten minutes, Fugui and the others arrived at the sea area.

More than 20 cameras on the super-large screen finally formed a super-large viewing angle.

Maybe this is really where the geoduck grows?

Just lurking in the mud and sand of the seabed, just approaching forward, Fugui and the others caught one geoduck after another.

After all the net bags brought down by the robots are full, they are willing to go out of the water!

At this time, Xie Xingchen, who was waiting on the deck, was shocked when he saw the geoducks carried in the net bag on their backs.

Although he knew that these geoducks were big and plump when he watched the video, but...the video really made them smaller.

These geoducks were bigger than he thought!

And it's a lot bigger than that!

To give a vivid analogy - if a normal geoduck is the size of a child's fist, then the geoduck here is the size of an adult's head.

It's not a heavyweight at all!

[Ding dong, congratulations to the player for discovering the "geoduck", the geoduck is unlocked.】

[Geoduck: also known as "Pacific mud clam", "emperor clam", "goddess clam".It has plump meat and extremely delicious taste. It is the longest-surviving and largest cave clam in the world. It can bury itself one meter deep in the seabed sand.①】

Seeing the introduction of the geoduck, Xie Xingchen suddenly understood why they couldn't find the geoduck before Fa Cai.

Are geoducks actually clams?

And clams can dig holes!

So if it burrows and stays in the hole, they can only tell where the geoduck is hiding by looking at the top of the siphon, or the indentations they make in the sand when they retract the siphon.

After understanding this, Xie Xingchen was suddenly rejoiced!

At first he thought it was his bad luck.

The result was just the opposite, it was his luck!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to encounter so many geoducks exposed to the sand!

After telling Fa Cai about this discovery, they were quite shocked.

When they went to sea again after the rest, they searched for traces of siphons according to what their master said, and when they found one, the robots were both happy and confused.

They were happy that they found more geoducks easily, but they were confused—why did the owner know and not tell them how to find them?

In this regard, Xie Xingchen's solution is to divert their attention.

After Fa Cai and the others asked this question, he casually said, "I forgot."

After speaking, he immediately asked Fa Cai to put the newly harvested geoduck into the cold storage.

After they finished their work, Xie Xingchen continued: "Let's go, Fugui, let's go back to shore."

Back to shore?

All the robots were puzzled, and they said in unison, "Boss, why are we going back to shore?"

Xie Xingchen touched his nose, resisting the feeling of bristling hairs: "Because we are going to find gooseneck barnacles."

Looking for gooseneck barnacles?

Fa Cai was the first to ask: "Barnaps? Didn't we find them? The ones on the whales."

Fugui nodded and said emphatically, "Yes, we found a lot of barnacles yesterday."

And Chang Shou had a flash of inspiration.

He thought of the mushrooms that popped up in the forest when it rained.

Although they are all mushrooms, some mushrooms are edible and some mushrooms are not.

So "barnacles" and "gooseneck barnacles" shouldn't be the same thing?

If Xie Xingchen knew what Chang Shou was thinking, he must be very pleased.

But he doesn't know!

So when faced with the question of getting rich and being rich, he answered dumbfoundingly: "These two things are different. Although they are both barnacles, there are many kinds of barnacles. What we want is gooseneck barnacles.That is not a thing at all, so I have to look for it again."

Hearing this, Fa Cai was persuaded.

But Fugui was surprised and said: "Is this really the case? Then are those barnacles I put away useless?"

Xie Xingchen looked at Fugui in shock:!

Put it away?

What should put?

What to put away?

Where did Fugui put those barnacles?

Xie Xingchen's hairs suddenly stood on end.

Fugui said honestly: "Put it in my room!"

Xie Xingchen: It's numb.

Isn't that right next door to him?

The scene in the phenomenon made Xie Xingchen's skin crawl.

He can't accept it!

Fugui regretted this very much. He had no choice but to destroy the barnacles he had cut off.

Fa Cai and Chang Shou were dispatched to supervise, and after confirming that Fu Gui had completely destroyed the barnacles, Fu Gui was put back in the captain's cabin and drove the floating boat away again.

...

I chose a place close to the cliff to place the suspended boat.

After Fugui came out, Xie Xingchen took them ashore on the hoverboard.

Gooseneck barnacles are known as "the delicacy from hell". Although it looks terrifying, it tastes delicious!

This kind of organism has extremely high requirements on water quality, and they will only grow in places with good water quality, usually in cliffs or deep rock crevices.As long as it grows, it will be clustered in clusters, and it looks like a dense piece, which is very toothy and claws.

Although the appearance is extremely "scary", it is said that the taste is very delicious.

For a long time, it has been regarded as "high-end ingredients" by merchants, and the price is also very expensive.

Xie Xingchen talked non-stop, but his eyes were a little "passive and sabotage".

Even prying oysters was a bit of a challenge for him, and even the thought of gooseneck barnacles made his scalp tingle.

Thinking of having to dig it, touch it.

Xie Xingchen: "..."

He felt that he had to prepare himself mentally.

However, I am really afraid of something!

Not long after leaving, Fa Cai pointed to a huge cliff and said, "Boss, is that a gooseneck barnacle?"

Xie Xingchen turned his head reflexively.

Then he saw the clusters of gooseneck barnacles with fangs and claws like the claws of hell devils.

For a moment, he was stunned.

God, why are there so many?

Although he knows that no one is destroying the ecology now, but...is this too much?

Seeing the gooseneck barnacles densely attached to the cliff, Xie Xingchen suddenly panicked.

But - there is and only he is flustered!

They are so happy to be rich.

They are afraid that someone will rob them.

He rushed out with a stride, stepped on the hoverboard and started working immediately with a pick and shovel.

They knocked a bag full before they brought it over and handed it to Xie Xingchen.

Xie Xingchen took three deep breaths, and tremblingly put his hand on it.

[Ding dong, congratulations to the player for discovering the "gooseneck barnacle", the gooseneck barnacle is unlocked.】

[Goose-necked barnacles: Named for their resemblance to goosenecks, they are also known as "bergamot snails", "ghost-clawed snails" and "dog-clawed snails".Cirripedes in the phylum Arthropoda.Grows only in clean water.Delicious and terrifying, it is called "food from hell"②.】

Great, gooseneck barnacles unlocked.

Then comes the next program...

How should he promote it?

He doesn't even dare to take a closer look now, so what's the point!

But if he doesn't even eat it, how can he sell it?

While he can vouch for it being absolutely delicious, would anyone else be willing to buy something so horrible?

For a moment, Xie Xingchen thought a lot.

In the end, he despaired.

Forget it, there were still so many people who liked to eat this stuff back then!

So it should be delicious, right?

Otherwise, how can we let everyone bear its appearance?

Xie Xingchen thought so.

He even came up with an idea - how about letting Fa Cai do it for him, so that he can taste it?

Xie Xingchen, who could only accept such an approach at most, stared at Fa Cai's back thoughtfully.

If that doesn't work, then he will find... Ludwig?

Xie Xingchen, who was embarrassed to cheat his friends, thought: Since Ludwig dared to go to the battlefield, how can he be afraid of mere gooseneck barnacles?

Although it doesn't look very good, can it be scarier than the battlefield?

Impossible, right?
