24: Underwater scenery, sea cucumber

After arriving at the coast, Lu Fan tied a dagger to a bamboo stick to serve as a harpoon.

Then he began doing warm-up exercises on the shore to fully loosen up his body; after all, he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"chest expansion exercises, one, two, three, four..."

"wrist and ankle exercises, one, two, three, four..."

...In the livestream room.

"Such a familiar feeling; I did this every day in school."

"My goodness, this is the first time I've heard the steps clearly. It turns out to be 'wrist and ankle joints.' When I was in school, every PE representative said 'wrist and ankle.'"

Wang Tao nodded and said with a smile, "You must do warm-up exercises before entering the water to prevent cramps caused by the cold water stimulus, which could be life-threatening."

"You know, in our country a few years ago, there were many cases of drowning deaths every year."

A heated discussion also broke out in the livestream room.

"Haha, it's fine. Where can you even see a pond nowadays?"

"Hehe, I learned in a swimming pool; I can swim."

"Has the person above not heard the old saying? Those who drown are always the ones who can swim."

"It's fine. With the efforts of our Chinese contestant, the environment in our Huaguo will surely return to its former state one day."

After finishing his warm-up, Lu Fan began observing the shoreline, looking for a place to enter the water.

Of course, most importantly, he relied on his cheat.

[This place is scarce in fish.]

[If you go down from here, you might encounter sea snake attacks.]

[There are many Sea Urchins down here, if you like eating them.]

...Finally, after searching around, Lu Fan found a suitable place to enter the water.

He immediately took off his clothes, and as a sea breeze blew by, he couldn't help but shiver from the cold.

Lu Fan's body was sturdier than when he first arrived, and the beginnings of abdominal muscles were even vaguely visible on his stomach.

"I feel like Great God Lu Fan has gotten leaner; his potbelly is gone."

"Indeed, I still prefer the way Great God Lu Fan looked when he had a potbelly."

"Wilderness survival is too harsh. Although Great God Lu Fan has plenty of food, his daily workload is also very high."

Lu Fan carefully tested the water as he entered. The water was very cold, but he walked in anyway.

"The water is too cold; I must adapt as quickly as possible."

Lu Fan cupped the seawater and poured it over himself, and after a short while, his body adapted to the temperature.

Slowly, he walked to where the water was waist-deep. After taking a deep breath, he submerged his head into the sea.

Lu Fan searched underwater. The world beneath the waves was vibrant and colorful, with all kinds of fish darting between the corals.

sea anemones swayed gracefully on the seabed, and starfish lay lazily on the sandy floor.

He carefully avoided these beautiful creatures and continued searching for edible seafood.

The viewers in the livestream room were shocked by the underwater scenery.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. I could never have imagined the ocean looked like this."

"I've only seen scenes like this in some documentaries."

"The ocean is truly a treasure trove for humanity; it's a pity it's so polluted now."

"Damn those Japanese people."

Lu Fan took a breath and continued searching for his target.

[There are Sea Cucumbers buried under the sand.]

Lu Fan immediately brushed away the sand below with his hands and indeed saw several Sea Cucumbers as large as a palm.

If not for the Prompt' reminder, he really wouldn't have noticed these masters of disguise.

He quickly grabbed the Sea Cucumbers and placed them in the bamboo basket at his waist.

"Great God Lu Fan's eyesight is really sharp."

"Wild Sea Cucumbers, not farmed ones. I'm so envious."

Lu Fan caught seven or eight Sea Cucumbers in a row; the plump Sea Cucumbers were quite heavy.

He stood up, wiped the seawater from his face, looked into the bamboo basket, and couldn't help but smile.

After taking a few breaths, Lu Fan dived back into the sea.

He used the bamboo stick to gently poke through the sand on the seabed, hoping to find more seafood.

[A swarm of lobsters is hidden under the reef ahead.]

Sure enough, he saw several large lobsters hiding under a reef, their two long antennae swaying in the water.

Lu Fan immediately approached quietly and, with a sudden thrust, the dagger on the bamboo stick accurately pierced the lobster's back.

The lobster struggled frantically, but Lu Fan pinned it firmly against the rock.

After a fruitless struggle, it was pulled out of the water.

The other lobsters all fled in fright, their speed so fast that they left Lu Fan in the dust.

Lu Fan looked at the lobster in surprise; it was an Ornate Spiny Lobster. Its body was a bluish-green color, and compared to other common small lobsters, it didn't have large claws.

This Ornate Spiny Lobster was huge, almost as thick as Lu Fan's calf, weighing a good five or six jin.

The viewers in the livestream room were also very excited.

"A lobster that big must be delicious."

"This is way too big; it's like a mutation."

Wang Tao's face couldn't hide his excitement: "As expected, Contestant Lu Fan has had another massive harvest. He's really brought honor to our Huaguo once again."

The authorities also released an announcement in due time, stating that as usual, after reserving a portion for breeding, the other lobsters and Sea Cucumbers would be distributed to the public through a lottery.

Suddenly, Yu Rui jumped up in excitement: "Ah! Ｏ(≧mouth≦)Ｏ, I won a lobster!"

Zhao Hangjun was also startled and couldn't help but pat his chest, almost losing his breath.

Seeing this, Yu Rui's face turned bright red as she apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao. I was just too excited. I didn't win anything the last few times, so I didn't expect that this time..."

Zhao Hangjun waved his hand, not minding: "It's fine, it's fine. It seems you have very good luck. Young people should have a bit more energy."

"Rui Rui actually won a lobster, I'm so jealous."

"Haha, I won one too! (Image: Winning Prize)"

"You in the comment above are truly something else! Where is the justice? Where is the morality? And where is your address?"

Meanwhile, some foreign viewers lost their cool seeing this scene.

"How can this Huaguo kid have such good luck?"

"It's rigged! It must be rigged! The contestants from our country are still starving."

"The Huaguo government is still the best. The rebate resources for our country's contestants have all been carved up by the higher-ups." Judging by the ID, it was a viewer from the Pretty Country.

Lu Fan lifted the bamboo basket at his waist; it was quite heavy. He felt it was about enough.

After all, the key to eating seafood is its 'freshness.' In such hot weather without a refrigerator, if he caught too many, they couldn't be preserved and would be a total waste.

Lu Fan quickly walked toward the shore. As soon as he left the water and the sea breeze hit him, he couldn't stop shivering from the cold.

"It's freezing me to death."

Lu Fan quickly wiped the water off his body, put on his clothes, and ran back to his Shelter.

With a heavy load of seafood in his hands, an uncontrollable smile spread across his face.
