Chapter 276 - 273: Failure? Not a Chance!
Yalong Bay, Sanya, sea view villa.
The villa isn’t very big. There’s a courtyard after you enter, and inside, a two-story duplex building.
A super large living room, clean bedrooms, and all the facilities are fully equipped.
Two people, six dogs, and a mischievous parrot.
The six dogs include Xiaojin Hua, Milk Candy, and their four kids.
The climate here is still warm, even wearing short sleeves doesn’t feel cold.
Sanya is at the southernmost tip of Hainan Island, the only city on the island that doesn’t have winter.
"The weather here is so comfortable. In Hulunbei’er, we’d have to wear a big cotton-padded coat by now."
Liu Yiyi said happily with a smile.
"Yeah, it’s really warm."
The two from the grasslands felt very comfortable.
Then, Liu Yiyi went to set up the bedroom.
She had clean quilts and mattresses shipped over, delivered right to the door. The materials are particularly good, very comfortable to sleep on.
Jiang Feng helped her spread the sheets and duvet covers together.
After making the bed, it started to shake up and down.
Can’t stay still for a moment.
Xiaojin Hua was playing affectionately with his wife the whole time.
A well-guarded knife-bearing bodyguard in front of the pasture, who would’ve thought he’d be a love-struck fool, just circling around his wife.
It can only be said that whatever kind of owner there is, there’s that kind of dog.
The villa was filled with the sour scent of love.
Four little dogs were playing in the yard.
They crawled on the ground, sniffing the air with their noses, like scouts exploring new maps.
Occasionally, when they came across a stone, they lifted their hind legs to mark their territory.
"The little shepherd dog marked a spot."
They had already developed the habit of going to a fixed spot to relieve themselves, but at that time, they treated the yard as "outdoors" and thus still marked territory.
The gray parrot was placed in the living room by Jiang Feng.
This guy was very crafty, flying out of the living room and then outside to the bedroom window, peering inside through the glass.
What was inside wasn’t suitable for children, but who knows if the gray parrot understood.
After cursing a couple of times, it flew away from the window.
Vacations are always so comfortable.
It’s relaxing and more interesting than imagined.
"I’ve promised the fans to go live tomorrow, and I want to go catch the sea early tomorrow."
"Probably won’t be back until the afternoon."
Jiang Feng said to Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi leaned against his chest and replied, "Mm, alright."
"I’ll just stay at home, paint, and take care of the dogs."
Liu Yiyi doesn’t like being broadcast, preferring to focus on her own life.
Actually, this is very good because Jiang Feng also likes personal live streaming.
Anyway, they’re on a long-term vacation, essentially merging into city life, so there’s no rush to see the sights.
So, after everything was arranged, Jiang Feng posted a video.
The caption read:
"Livestreaming catching the sea at 5:30 tomorrow morning! Going live!"
The likes and comments on this video quickly rose.
"If you don’t come back to work soon, I don’t know what I’ll do slacking off!"
"Is the broadcast finally on?"
"Catching the sea? Starting off so thrillingly?"
"I’m starting work around six, just in time to catch it!"
The fans were extremely looking forward to Jiang Feng’s sea-catching livestream.
That night, Jiang Feng held his wife from behind, while his mind was tallying up the popularity.
Although the broadcast time hasn’t been a lot lately, he’s still accumulated more than twenty million in popularity in bits and pieces.
Jiang Feng chose two Top Level Lotteries.
"The host has chosen a top-level lottery, drawing now..."
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill: Marine Life Encyclopedia."
"The host is proficient in the knowledge of marine life, limited to marine species seen in reality."
The first reward is a skill, and it’s an encyclopedia type.
This skill is limited to marine species seen, after all, humans have only explored less than 5% of the ocean, and there are still many unknown creatures.
Jiang Feng got a bit too excited, his grip tightened, causing Liu Yiyi to "Mm" a little, and Jiang Feng quickly released her.
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill: Surfing Mastery."
"Surfing Mastery: The host is proficient in surfing abilities."
This time, the top-level lottery yielded two skills consecutively.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred, it’s simply a huge gain.
Jiang Feng was very happy and couldn’t help getting excited again.
Liu Yiyi sensed Jiang Feng’s change and also blushed slightly.
...
The next morning at five, Jiang Feng drove the rented off-road vehicle, taking the still-sleepy Xiaojin Hua, heading straight to the place to catch the sea.
He’s going to a non-touristic spot, a wild beach.
Xiaojin Hua slowly woke up and also became excited.
After all, being a two-year-old Border Collie, it’s still very playful.
Upon reaching the destination, Jiang Feng launched the drone and started the live broadcast.
The time was five-thirty.
As soon as the broadcast started, a large group of netizens flooded into the live stream.
[I heard the owner has gone to the sea? Let me check it out!]
[The broadcast is finally on!]
[The host is doing a major event!]
[Grassland natives digging for seafood at the seaside? Can this profession match?]
The live stream chat was constantly flooding in.
In the live broadcast, Jiang Feng was wearing short sleeves, quarter-length pants, ordinary slippers, and carrying a big red bucket, with Xiaojin Hua beside him.
The slippers Jiang Feng wore were very soft, described online as having a "stepping-on-poop feel," which Jiang Feng didn’t know who came up with, but he felt it was very fitting.
People around here often wore flip-flops, but Jiang Feng was not used to having something stuck between his toes.
In one hand, Jiang Feng held a red bucket, and in the other, he held a two-meter long bamboo stick with a hook.
To be honest, this scene looked quite professional!
Jiang Feng said to everyone:
"Today’s live stream is about seashore collecting, which means coming to the seaside early in the morning to find seafood!"
"After all, it’s the sea, abundant with biological resources; as long as they’re not protected animals, you can take them home and cook them to eat."
"This spot for collecting is recommended by a classmate of mine, who said there are many good things."
"I’m going to give it a try."
While speaking, Jiang Feng arrived at a stone slab embedded in the mud.
This area often gets washed over by sea waves.
"Guess if there’s treasure here."
"Think there is, press 1; think there isn’t, press 2"
Jiang Feng asked the viewers in the live stream.
As soon as his voice fell, the live stream was filled with 222222.
The audience laughed heartily.
The atmosphere in the live stream was exceptionally relaxed.
Jiang Feng bent down to grab the stone slab, slowly lifting it.
Below was a small ditch filled with standing water, which seemed very calm, not suggesting the presence of sea creatures.
Seeing it was empty underneath, the viewers instantly became excited.
[Whoops! The host’s opening didn’t go well!]
[As expected, as expected!]
[Grassland King doesn’t seem quite fit for the seaside!]
[Hahaha, is live streaming at the seaside this funny?]
The comments streamed in fiercely.
Jiang Feng was calm, his knowledge told him that under such slabs, areas with holes likely had sea crabs.
Jiang Feng looked at the water in the ditch, and saw there was a small bulge inside.
Clearly, something was hiding in the sand.
"Failed? It’s impossible!"
Jiang Feng said with a smile and then plunged his hand into the mud, scooping forcefully!
He held a large pile of mud in his hand.
[Ah? Isn’t the host just going to show us a pile of mud?!]
[What are we supposed to look at?]
Everyone continued to gloat.
At that moment, something suddenly moved within the mud.
Next, two claws emerged from the mud.
Just then, the sea water washed over.
Jiang Feng washed the mud in the sea water, revealing a big crab.
That creature seized the chance to scuttle sideways at a fast speed.
Jiang Feng quickly grabbed it and put it into the red bucket.
The live stream chat exploded instantly!
[Gosh, there really is something!]
[Host, I knew you could find seafood!]
[Oh, stop it, you were laughing the loudest just now!]
[It’s a green crab, lucky host!]
[Was it buried beforehand?!]
Viewers had assumed they could tease Jiang Feng to their heart’s content, thinking grassland natives surely wouldn’t adapt to seaside conditions.
But right off the bat, he found something.
It was as if he was born at the seaside!
"Lucky me, what a great start!"
Jiang Feng smiled calmly, full of confidence.
Indeed, knowledge is power!
The best seafood found early in the morning on the beach must be big crabs!
Jiang Feng continued:
"I specifically looked up information online, crabs are most found under stone slabs, they love to hide in places like this."
"Also, small raised bumps usually mean crabs are buried in the mud."
"This is just a mud crab, the meat of this kind is the most delicious."
"The sea is the sea, it’s more enjoyable than mushroom hunting by far!"
Jiang Feng, as a grassland native, shares the agricultural background with fishermen.
Why draw such a clear line when both are in agriculture?
Then Jiang Feng proceeded to search along the shore.
Soon, he found another stone slab and flipped it over.
As soon as he flipped it, the crab underneath ran away in haste.
Xiaojin Hua seemed to have discovered something new and chased after it, blocking the crab.
It tried to bite the crab, but the crab pinched its jaw.
Xiaojin Hua yelped in pain and ran wildly on the beach.
Jiang Feng quickly ran over, caught the crab, and tossed it into the bucket.
Viewers found it amusing and laughed heartily.
