Ye Xueyan: "Let the orca carry you there; it's not far."

Arriving in this strange new world, the orcas are all considered old and experienced whales.

Shi Wen touched the orca's skin and felt relieved that Ye Xueyan hadn't made them change their "mode of transportation".

Ye Xueyan quickly took them home and introduced them to her partner, Xie Xing.

They looked at each other and could guess who the other was.

Xie Xing shook hands with them. "Welcome to this world."

Yan Kexing: "Thank you."

Xie Xing: "We suspected that powerful life forms could cause spacetime overlap, and it turns out it's true. Would you be interested in doing a test in your spare time? We'll share the results with you."

Yan Kexing slightly, then said, "Okay."

Ye Xueyan: "That's great. Stay here for the night, we have guest rooms."

Shi Wen, "Then I'll have to bother you."

Ye Xueyan's personality is not as aloof as his appearance suggests; once you get to know him, he is actually quite gentle and warm-hearted.

Shi Wen heard that he had a marine ranch and a marine hospital, she stared in astonishment, her eyes widening. "Wouldn't that mean you'd be in contact with a lot of marine life?"

Ye Xueyan: "I've come into contact with the vast majority of marine life in this world."

Shi Wen: "That sounds interesting! What about a marine hospital? You treat fish there? I have a ranch and help sick animals sometimes, but I still can't quite imagine what a marine hospital would be like."

Ye Xueyan: "It's on the left side of the road you came from. Do you want to go take a look?"

Upon Shi Wen exchanged glances with Yan Kexing, her interest clearly evident.

Ye Xueyan: "Let's go together, and we can catch some more seafood for dinner later."

Shi Wen, "You've worked hard."

They went together to visit Ye Xueyan's marine ranch.

Shi Wen only then that I learned that humans could actually raise fish by using fishing nets to enclose a section of the sea.

Ye Xueyan's marine ranch is also fantastic, with a multitude of marine creatures, as well as lush seaweed and coral.

Shi Wen him snorkeling behind me, oxygen tube in his mouth, his eyes almost unable to see anything.

This ocean ranch is so much fun!

After their tour, Ye Xueyan scooped abalone, ribbonfish, and sea urchins into the fish basket.

Ye Xueyan: "These are the plumpest seafood of the season. You can try them later. Wait a moment after you come ashore, I'll go and catch two more large yellow croakers."

Shi Wen's eyes sparkled. "Are they farmed?"

Ye Xueyan smiled, "They're semi-wild, but I know where they frequent. Wait for me a moment."

Ye Xueyan handed the fish basket to Xie Xing, told them to wait on the shore for a moment, and then transformed into a white dragon and entered the sea.

A few minutes later, Ye Xueyan surfaced again, carrying two large yellow croakers weighing about a pound each.

Ye Xueyan: "The yellow croaker of this weight is the most tender; you should try it later."

Shi Wen someone admiring the large, golden yellow croaker and exclaim, "It's so beautiful!"

Ye Xueyan: "It's also very delicious."

Shi Wen just gone to sea with him and now being quite familiar with him, Shi Wen exclaimed, "The sea really feels like your backyard!"

Ye Xueyan: "Yes, I always tell others that the sea is my vegetable garden."

The two chatted quite well, and seemed to hit it off immediately.

Yan Kexing and Xie Xing were having a good chat. Shi Wen turned around and glanced at them, sensing that these elites all admired each other.

Back at Ye Xueyan's home, the four of them went into the kitchen together to cook.

Shi Wen, somewhat embarrassed, pulled out a sealed package of jerky from his backpack. "This is beef jerky and pork jerky produced on our ranch. The beef jerky is made from cattle that are a cross between Brown and Simmental cattle, and the pork jerky is made from pigs that are a cross between Sheep-pigs and Black pigs. It's a bit different from what you find elsewhere."

As she spoke, Shi Wen added, "Stir-frying it makes it quite delicious."

Ye Xueyan held a piece of dried meat in her hand. "Is it okay to eat it on its own?"

Shi Wen, "Okay, you guys give it a try."

Ye Xueyan took a piece and gave one to Xie Xing as well. After tasting it, their eyes lit up. "Your breeding techniques and cooking skills are both excellent!"

Shi Wen said happily, "I raised them, Yan Kexing made them, and our ranch's products are famously good in our world."

Ye Xueyan gave a thumbs up. "I guessed it."

After tasting the jerky, they started cooking.

Soon, five dishes and a soup were served.

Ye Xueyan warmly invited, "Come and try the seafood from our marine ranch!"

Shi Wen picked up a piece of deep-fried ribbonfish.

Just now, when he watched Ye Xueyan scoop up ribbonfish, the scales of the ribbonfish were shiny, as if they were plated with silver.

He had never seen ribbonfish like this before and couldn't help but feel curious.

The Shi Wen looked at the still-steaming pieces of ribbonfish and exclaimed, "This ribbonfish is unlike any I've ever had before! It's so delicious!"

Ye Xueyan said happily, "Eat more if you like it."

Shi Wen took another bite. "Really, I never thought ribbonfish could taste like this, it's so delicious."

Ye Xueyan: "Come and try the big yellow croaker."

Shi Wen him and picked up a piece of steamed yellow croaker.

The large yellow croaker was very tender, with none of the muddy or fishy smell one Shi Wen expect; it was simply bursting with freshness and a unique sweetness.

Shi Wen, "We don't think we have such delicious large yellow croakers where we're from."

Ye Xueyan ate some dried meat and said, "We don't have such delicious dried meat around here."

Xie Xing smiled and said, "Our strengths complement each other. Come on, let's have a drink."

Since everyone here Abilities, we chat without any reservations.

As they chatted, Shi Wen and Ye Xueyan felt like they had known each other for a long time.

Everyone agreed that Ye Xueyan and Xie Xing would also visit Shijiu Ranch in the future.

Because of their existing acquaintance, the first day of testing went smoothly.

As promised, Xie Xing sent all the results to Shi Wen and Yan Kexing.
