Entering the fishing ground space, Ye Yuan looked at the display on the stone tablet.

In front of the stone tablet were three pills, about the size of six-flavor rehmannia pills.

"Could these be the Spirit Opening Pills the system mentioned? It's one thing that they don't have packaging, but they don't even have an instruction manual," Ye Yuan muttered to himself. It seemed he would have to spend points to ask. The traps were everywhere.

"System, tell me the effect of the Spirit Opening Pill."

"This answer will deduct 100 points. Continue?"

"Yes."

"Spirit Opening Pills can be given to any animal with independent consciousness. After taking it, it can open up their intelligence."

"Hmm? Not bad. I wonder if it's effective for humans?"

"This answer will deduct 100 points. Continue?"

"Yes."

"Ineffective."

"I really have a big mouth. I spent 100 points for just two words."

Ye Yuan was still very happy to have unexpectedly obtained three Spirit Opening Pills. The first thing Ye Yuan thought of was his Big Yellow. If Big Yellow ate a Spirit Opening Pill and evolved, it might become a helper.

Returning home, Ye Yuan placed the large yellow croakers and abalones into his small fish pond.

The small fish ponds built by villagers were usually partitioned. This was to prevent different seafood from attacking each other in the pond.

He checked the fish pond: 15 lobsters weighing over 1 jin, 60 swimming crabs weighing 4-6 liang, 12 large yellow croakers, 8 three-head abalones, and 1 two-head abalone.

After taking photos of each, he sent them to his boss, Zhao Chuan, and then happily sat under the shade of a tree, teasing Big Yellow.

His phone rang. As soon as he answered, Zhao Chuan's voice came through.

"Did you go to become the Sea Dragon King's son-in-law? So many good catches! Especially that large abalone. Good heavens, even I haven't seen anything like it. I want all of them. Please prepare the abalones for me, and I'll find someone to process them into dried abalone. My father's birthday is next month, and I didn't know what to get him. You've given me such good things, hahaha, thanks, brother!"

Before Ye Yuan could speak, Zhao Chuan chattered on and on.

"Let's consider that abalone a gift for my father. You can decide the price for the rest."

"What are you thinking? It's rare to find such a good gift, and you want to consider it yours? What about me then? If you want to show your appreciation, you don't need to give anything. Just come and toast my father on his birthday. The second and third brothers will be here too. We can have a reunion. It's on the thirteenth of next month, still more than twenty days away. Is that okay on your end?" Zhao Chuan asked somewhat uncertainly.

"No problem, I'll definitely be there then," Ye Yuan agreed without hesitation.

If it were the old Ye Yuan, he might not have agreed. After all, back then, he was just a penniless country boy with nothing.

The current Ye Yuan was much more confident. He believed that he was no worse than anyone else now.

After a few words, Zhao Chuan hung up. It was clear that the guy was really busy.

As soon as the call ended, the bank transfer notification sound rang on his phone. Looking at the zeros after the amount, Ye Yuan was a little stunned.

"One million? I'm a millionaire now?"

Along with the transfer notification, there was also a voice message from Zhao Chuan.

"Brother, don't think this money is a lot. You know, that one large abalone of yours is worth more than this. I thought if I gave you too much, you might not accept it. Consider this a favor I owe you. We can discuss anything when you get here. Also, I'll prepare a gift for you in the next few days. Remember to check for it."

Listening to the voice message, Ye Yuan felt helpless. He really didn't understand the world of the rich.

Just then, Ye Yuan's mother came out. Seeing Ye Yuan grinning foolishly at his phone, his mother asked with concern, "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?"

Hearing his mother's words, Ye Yuan snapped back to reality. He shouted into the house, "Dad, you come out too!"

His father also came out. Seeing the surprised look in his parents' eyes, Ye Yuan had them look at the transfer record on his phone.

When his parents saw the string of zeros on the phone screen, they were speechless for a long time.

At this moment, his mother pinched his father's arm hard.

"Ouch! You old woman, why are you pinching me?"

"I'm just trying to see if I'm dreaming. It seems this is all real!"

Ye Yuan came to Pinghai County, as Zhao Chuan was waiting for the seafood.

He sent out the express delivery, even specifically requesting expedited service. Seafood is best delivered as quickly as possible.

The express delivery company was also very surprised by the seafood, marveling at how long it had been since they had seen such high-quality goods. They readily agreed.

After sending the delivery, he went to his sister's supermarket and left five decent-sized abalone and fifty thousand yuan.

His sister refused to take the money no matter what. With no other choice, Ye Yuan explained again about selling seafood these past few days.

When his sister learned that her brother had earned a million yuan in less than a week since returning, she was quite surprised. However, she still wanted Ye Yuan to take the money back. After much explanation from Ye Yuan, his sister finally accepted the money.

Ye Yuan did not go out to sea today. His father and second uncle were out at sea, and as fishermen, they couldn't stay home every day. Ye Yuan's original intention was not to have his parents go out to sea.

The income they made from going out to sea wasn't as fast as him swimming around the seabed. However, his parents still went. With no other choice, and since his boat was gone, he couldn't swim out and explain his return.

Since no one was home, Ye Yuan was playing with Big Yellow under the shade of a tree in their yard.

He suddenly remembered he still had three Spirit Opening Pills.

He took one out and placed it in his palm. Big Yellow, with its canine nose, came over and tentatively sniffed the scent. Then, as if discovering a treasure, it licked the pill with its long tongue, and the small pill was swallowed.

Ye Yuan watched Big Yellow nervously, as this was the first time he was trying something from the system, and he had no idea if there were any side effects.

After eating the pill, Big Yellow lay down at Ye Yuan's feet, closing its eyes in enjoyment.

It stretched out its front legs, resting its head on them. After a few minutes, while Ye Yuan was still observing Big Yellow for any reaction, Big Yellow opened its eyes.

Whether it was an illusion or something else, Ye Yuan saw something different in Big Yellow's eyes. Big Yellow first stood up, then shook its yellow fur, and finally circled Ye Yuan, its gaze conveying a sense of seeking favor.

"Hmm? Is that it? I don't see any changes," Ye Yuan muttered.

"Big Yellow, stand up and walk on two legs," Ye Yuan said to Big Yellow, trying it out.

To Ye Yuan's surprise, Big Yellow actually lifted its front legs and walked around him, its body perfectly straight.

This is amazing, are the Spirit Opening Pills this effective?

"Big Yellow, how many people are in our family?"

Big Yellow tilted its large dog head, as if contemplating the question, then barked at Ye Yuan.

"Woof~ Woof~ Woof~ Woof~ Woof~ Woof~" It barked six times.

"Hahaha, that's great. It even knows my sister's family is also family," Ye Yuan said, happily petting Big Yellow. Big Yellow then proudly lifted its dog head, its gaze seeming to say, "Is this even a question for a puppy? Of course, I know!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily, looking at Big Yellow's transformation.

One reason was Big Yellow's performance, and the other was that he still had two Spirit Opening Pills left, meaning he could create two more intelligent animals like Big Yellow.
