Lu Ao hadn't expected to be stumped at the very first step, and he felt somewhat dejected.
Lin Dawu hadn't expected the requirements for building a Marine Ranch to be so high either. Of the several locations he had taken Lu Ao to, he couldn't say much else, but they were certainly sufficient for setting up fish rafts and raising fish.
Lu Ao wasn't satisfied with any of those locations, and for the moment, Lin Dawu couldn't think of anywhere else that better met Lu Ao's requirements.
