That day, Ye Yuan was preparing to take Big Yellow out to sea. Yes, he was taking Big Yellow out to sea.

When his parents returned that day and saw how much smarter Big Yellow had suddenly become, they both asked Ye Yuan how he had done it.

Ye Yuan stammered, "I found some dog-training methods online and used Big Yellow as an experiment. I didn't expect him to be so capable—he learned everything right away." His parents did not think much of it. After all, he was their son.

Then, when Ye Yuan was preparing to head out to sea, he told his parents that he wanted to bring Big Yellow along. They agreed. Just as the man and dog were about to leave, Ye Yuan's phone rang.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Ye Yuan?"

"Yes, this is he. Who is this?"

"Hello, we're staff from a 4S dealership in Blue Island City. One of your friends ordered a car for you online. We've already set off and expect to arrive in Pinghai County in an hour. Would it be convenient for you to come and receive it?"

"One of my friends? Could you tell me his name?" Ye Yuan asked.

"Zhao Chuan, Mr. Zhao Chuan from Shangjing. He placed the order through our Shangjing headquarters," the sweet-voiced young woman replied respectfully.

"Oh, all right. Let's meet at Pinghai County Pier in an hour."

"Certainly, Mr. Ye Yuan. Goodbye."

From the conversation, Ye Yuan learned that the gift Zhao Chuan had mentioned that day was a car. What a guy.

He then picked up his phone and called Zhao Chuan.

"The car arrived? Do you like it? If I tried to give you money, you definitely wouldn't take it. Consider it a gift from your big brother. Looking at you, you're planning to become a fisherman. Since all your stuff is high-end, having a car will make it easier to get to Blue Island, right? I know you got your driver's license while you were in school, hehe."

Before Ye Yuan could even ask, Zhao Chuan already knew why he was calling.

Ye Yuan was helpless. The car was already on its way to him, so refusing it now was hardly realistic.

He could not exactly make the delivery drivers take it back, could he? He could only change the subject and ask, "You received the seafood, right? Were you satisfied?"

"Haha, your seafood was beyond reproach. Not even mentioning those huge abalones, just those large yellow croakers, giant lobsters, and swimming crabs stunned the higher-ups. They kept saying I was considerate of them. Every last one of them was practically ready to pledge loyalty to me. Brother, you really came through. This time, your big brother has all the face he could ask for."

"As long as you're happy. All right, the old man's birthday is in ten days, right? I'll come over in a few days, and we can have a proper chat then."

"Good. Your big brother will be waiting in Shangjing with the place swept clean for you, hahaha." With that, Zhao Chuan hung up.

Even through the phone, Ye Yuan could hear the joy in Zhao Chuan's heart. He had planned to go out to sea, but it seemed he would have to make a trip to Pinghai County first.

When he arrived at the pier, he soon saw a brand-new Ford Raptor driving over.

An Audi followed behind the Raptor. When the two cars stopped at the pier, they drew plenty of attention. After all, pickups like the Raptor were still rare in this small county.

A man and a woman got out of the two cars respectively, and the woman walked over with a smile.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Yuan?"

"Yes."

"Hello, I'm a Ford staff member from Blue Island. This is your vehicle." As she spoke, she pointed at the black Ford Raptor.

"If there are no issues, please sign this document." The woman handed him a contract.

Ye Yuan looked over the contract. There were no problems, so he signed it directly and sent off the two staff members with a smile.

But when he turned back toward the vehicle, he found Big Yellow circling around it. He was just walking up to a tire and lifting one hind leg.

Ye Yuan burst out laughing. "A dog being too smart isn't always a good thing. He knows this belongs to our family, and now he's already marking his territory."

He drove it around for a while and found it quite good. Then, after finding a parking lot near the pier and leaving the vehicle there, he took Big Yellow out to sea again.

Zhao Chuan's car had cost at least six hundred thousand yuan. If Ye Yuan went to his father's birthday empty-handed, it really would not be appropriate. But if he bought something truly valuable, the money he had on hand was still a little short.

Then he remembered that while they were in school, Zhao Chuan had mentioned that his father was an ornamental fish enthusiast.

With such a vast sea before him, what kind of fish could he not find? Today, he would see what high-end ornamental fish were down on the seabed. This would not only be a gift for the old man; it could also become a source of income for him.

He came to an area with coral reefs beneath the surface. Ordinary marine ornamental fish generally lived around coral reefs. After all, Ye Yuan had studied marine science and understood the habits of many sea creatures quite well.

If it had been some fishermen, even if a valuable ornamental fish swam right past them, they might not recognize it.

After telling Big Yellow to behave himself on the boat, Ye Yuan descended to the seabed and watched as all kinds of colorful fish chased one another through the coral reefs.

Using his ability, Ye Yuan searched deeper and deeper for high-end ornamental fish.

At last, in a crevice in the coral, he found two small fish with red, white, and yellow patterns. They were only around seven centimeters long, but they were far from ordinary.

These fish had a beautiful name: Red Mint Angelfish. They were a relatively unique species of carnivorous ornamental fish that generally lived in extremely deep waters around steep coastal reefs. They were difficult to catch and quite expensive. Their gentle nature, combined with their deep-water habitat, made them especially hard to capture. Their domestic selling price was incredibly high, nearly equal to the value of a new RV.

"You two will do." Ye Yuan directly placed the two small fish into the Fishery Space.

If he gave these two fish to Zhao Chuan's father, the old man would surely be delighted. The most important thing about these fish was not their price, but their rarity. Only a few might be caught worldwide each year, and perhaps none at all.

After taking care of that, Ye Yuan continued searching and found several more types of ornamental fish: Queen Angelfish, Emperor Angelfish, Moonlight Butterflyfish, and Raccoon Butterflyfish.

After catching many ornamental fish, Ye Yuan discovered that there were actually Blacklip Pearl Oysters on this stretch of seabed.

There were not many Blacklip Pearl Oysters, only seven or eight in total, large and small. Blacklip Pearl Oysters were usually light gray to silver-gray, could weigh up to five kilograms, and were generally twice the size of ordinary saltwater shellfish. Their average lifespan could reach thirty years, and they could produce larger pearls.

Blacklip Pearl Oysters had two main natural origins. The first was Tahiti in the Polynesian Islands, which produced 95 percent of the world's supply. The second was Penrhyn Island and Manihiki Island in the Cook Islands, which accounted for 4 percent of total production. Other Pacific Ocean islands produced less than one percent. Ye Yuan had no idea why these Blacklip Pearl Oysters had appeared here.

After putting away the Blacklip Pearl Oysters, Ye Yuan caught a few lobsters and swimming crabs before returning to the boat. He placed the lobsters and swimming crabs in the boat's water tank, took photos, and sent them privately to a classmate named Wang Yue from the class group chat.

Wang Yue directly transferred five thousand yuan to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan then made another trip to Pinghai County and shipped out the seafood.

After these several shipments, the courier company had also realized that Ye Yuan was a major customer. They proactively gave him some discounts and promised that if he shipped more in the future, they would offer further discounts.

He had originally planned to make a trip to Blue Island City to see what price the ornamental fish he had caught could fetch.

But after thinking it over, he decided against it. In a few days, he would be going to Shangjing, where the ornamental fish market was much larger than Blue Island City's and prices were higher as well.

For ordinary people, transporting ornamental fish was the biggest problem. For Ye Yuan, it was not a problem at all.

After returning home, he took out the Blacklip Pearl Oysters and prepared to open them all, to see whether he could find the legendary Black Pearl inside them.
