"Boss, do you process seafood for free here?" Auntie asked cautiously as she entered the shop with a fish in hand, worried about being turned away.
"We process fish for free during the Rock Fishing Tournament. Did you just catch that? Which Fishing Spot were you at?" Seeing the fish in Auntie's hands, the Handsome Store Manager quickly came over to take note.
"I caught this one myself at Fishing Spot 17," she replied. After registering, Auntie sneaked a glance at the handsome manager; he was quite a sight!
"What kind of fish is this? How much would it cost per pound if I were to buy it?" She didn't want to let this charming guy slip away, so she thought of a topic to chat about to steal a few more glances.
"It's a Sea Bass. At the market, it goes for twenty to thirty per pound, but since this is wild, the Price could be significantly higher."
"This fish is quite large; I don't need to order extra dishes, right? Just a few sides will be enough!"
After handing the fish over to the chef, she watched as he began preparing it in the open kitchen. As the store manager, he was saying they didn't need extra dishes, but really he was hinting for Auntie to hurry up and place her order.
With such a big fish being processed for free, how could they break even with just a few bowls of rice?
Seeing the handsome manager about to leave, Auntie quickly spoke up: "One dish isn't enough! Bring me the menu; I want to order two more dishes!"
How could she let him go without ordering more? She worked hard fishing for money; she had to treat herself well!
After ordering several dishes, she earned a smile from the Handsome Store Manager—her spending was worth it!
Meanwhile, Liu Lei had caught another fish, making Shi Tian's mouth water with envy.
He didn't use Wo Liao; his catch rate was noticeably lower than Liu Lei's. The key was that Shui Bi Zhang's group was using Plastic Particles too. Liu Lei was alone while Shui Bi Zhang had four people; this made his catch rate even lower.
Feeling frustrated by being sandwiched between those competitors, Shi Tian decided to change tactics and started bottom fishing. A Black Sea Bream or Shi Ban couldn't be much worse than Sea Bass, and he wasn't aiming for any awards!
Sipping on the coconut that Kang Ziyu brought him, Shi Tian glanced at Liu Lei's rod; it didn't look like Sea Bass.
However, since Liu Lei was Live Streaming, he couldn't interrupt. He lightly tapped Kang Ziyu and chuckled, "Just enjoying the show! Let's see how he does with the fan giveaways!"
He had already caught several fish, but Kang Ziyu hadn't started selling yet. There were still a few hours until mealtime; they'd wait until around ten before stopping.
He asked Xiao Feng to send Kang Ziyu a front rod and a pack of Black Bream Bait. Kang Ziyu was happily playing with Tang Tang.
When a Little Black Sea Bream came up, he set Tang Tang down on the ground; that little fish could enjoy itself there for half a day.
What excitement? Turning his head to glance at Liu Lei's side, everything seemed fine! Another fish caught—if it weighed over two pounds, they could enter the giveaway; if not, it would have to go back into the sea since it was protected. Liu Lei's lines were so familiar she could recite them by heart.
He didn't seem like a fish at all, and the rod tip remained still. As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Lei had already reeled in whatever was on the hook.
A torn plastic bag? Who would be so careless? Wait, that’s not right—it’s a jellyfish! A blue bottle jellyfish!
The camera zoomed in, and not only Liu Lei but also his partner at the booth was taken aback. This was not something to give away as a prize; otherwise, it could lead to trouble.
Folks, we won't be doing a giveaway this time. This is a Mantis Shrimp, one of the most venomous jellyfish in the world. It’s highly toxic and cannot be given away!
Seeing Liu Lei talking confidently, Shi Tian quickly got up and approached him.
"Brother Lei, this thing isn’t as dangerous as people say online. You mentioned it being like the Atlantic variety, but the oceanic Mantis Shrimp isn’t that severe!"
"This is a Blue Bottle Jellyfish. In Australia, thousands of people get stung by these every year, and it usually just hurts for a while. There haven’t been any reported fatalities from their stings!"
Shi Tian had encountered Mantis Shrimp before and had even experienced their sting. During a trip to New Zealand, he got stung once and was terrified he might not make it!
But after some inquiries, he found out that these creatures were nowhere near as dangerous as the internet made them out to be—less dangerous than a scorpion, in fact. It seemed like some people were just trying to sensationalize it for attention without ever having seen one themselves!
He couldn’t let Liu Lei keep spreading misinformation. If he continued talking like that, who would dare visit Anyou Town? Liu Lei might gain followers, but Shi Tian's millions in investments would go down the drain!
Shi Tian reminded him, causing Liu Lei to shudder; he almost lost his composure!
He quickly turned the camera towards Shi Tian while the booth audience was still present, eager to share some knowledge before things escalated further.
"This is our local expert on Oceanic Creatures! Let him enlighten everyone! My understanding is limited and mostly comes from online sources—I can’t explain it properly!"
Liu Lei admitted defeat to protect his account; otherwise, if this story blew up, he could lose everything.
In front of the camera, Shi Tian picked up the jellyfish hat and showcased it.
"The Blue Bottle Jellyfish only has its longest tentacle venomous. I’ve been stung before—it hurt a bit like touching a chili pepper—but that’s all there is to it!"
