Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 330 Cooperation
They followed Guo Xiaochun to the lagoon to the east.

A lagoon is a body of sea that is partially separated from the main ocean by barrier islands, sandbars, or coral reefs.

Lagoons can be classified into closed, semi-closed, and open types based on their degree of enclosure.

The lagoon in front of us is a lagoon separated by a sandbar.

At high tide, seawater flows in, and at low tide, the lagoon separates from the ocean.

This is the calmest time after the tide recedes; the lake surface is as smooth as a piece of pale blue jade, and the water is clear and transparent.

Qin Ziwen saw two fishing boats moored on the water in the distance, with fishermen casting nets at the stern.

Arriving at the lake, the bottom of the lake is clearly visible beneath the pale blue water.

Below the surface, schools of silver mullet swim leisurely, while bright yellow striped clownfish move in and out among the corals.

Spotted moray eels hide in the crevices of the rocks.

On the sandy bottom of the shallow sea, sea cucumbers can be seen slowly wriggling everywhere, and cone snails the size of a fist crawling on the ground.

Looking outwards, a large seagrass bed swayed with the waves on the seabed, and at least four or five large groupers could be seen patrolling within it.

Guo Xiaochun added from the side: "The deepest parts here are about ten meters deep, and the shallowest parts are two or three meters deep."

Qin Ziwen's face remained calm, but his chest was churning like a surging tide.

He heard from Guo Xiaochun that the resources here were relatively abundant. Although he had tried his best to prepare himself mentally, he was still surprised by the fertility of the land.

He has only one thought now: to take advantage of the remaining time and reap the rewards!
"Yes, this place needs to be developed properly. You must also pay attention to safety during the development process," Qin Ziwen instructed.

Back at the disembarkation point, several campfires were set up on the sand in front of the wooden cabin.

Many workers stopped working and sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing.

The large metal barrel next to it contained tonight's food.

After arriving here, we ate seafood all the time.

Wild seafood, once a luxury in modern cities, is now readily available here, skewered on wooden sticks and grilled over a fire.

Even a simple barbecue is tender and delicious.

"It's delicious, but it's too much of a tonic. I feel hot all over all day long," a worker grinned, his cheeks flushed in the firelight.

"Haha, why don't you bring your wife along too?"

"No, that won't do. The conditions here are still a bit harsh. I'll bring her some abalone to take back tomorrow after I'm off work."

"Going back to eat abalone?"

The campfire crackled, and a group of men laughed and made crude jokes.

A male college student sat next to him, blushing as he listened, silently eating his fish while eavesdropping.

"I remember Xiaotong is still a virgin, isn't he? Doesn't he want to find a girlfriend?" An older worker steered the conversation toward the male college student.

Tong Bo coughed twice, almost choking on a fish bone.

"They're in talks, they're in talks."

"You said the same thing last time, how far have we gotten?"

Tong Bo's face flushed, but his voice was tinged with laughter: "We held hands."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the ferry that was supposed to pick them up came to rest on the shore, riding the waves.

Qin Ziwen boarded the boat, and some of the people who had been chatting by the campfire also boarded the boat.

Qin Ziwen found a seat at the back and sat down next to the male college student from earlier.

"Yes, President." Sitting next to Qin Ziwen, Tong Bo seemed a little reserved. Although the two were not much different in age, for some reason, Tong Bo felt very nervous.

"Did you volunteer to participate in the island development?" Qin Ziwen asked gently.

"Yes, I heard the benefits are good."

"It's not bad." Qin Ziwen nodded. Jia Liangcai had given him a plan at the time. Because the development of the island was uncertain and they might have to live on the island later, where conditions would be harsh, the treatment was not low, and the daily ration of seafood and meat was also high.

"How difficult and dangerous is it to develop an island?"

"It's alright, apart from being a bit tired, there are no problems." Tong Bo shook his head.

As the boat docked, a round-faced girl wearing a scarf stood by the makeshift pier, rubbing her hands together and breathing out white vapor.

Upon seeing Tong Bo, she happily greeted him. The two naturally took hands and joined the crowd.

"Brother!" Qin Ziwu suddenly patted his shoulder. "What are you looking at?"

"Oh, I was wondering when you'll bring a sister-in-law home." Qin Ziwen disgustedly removed his brother's hand from his shoulder.

"Men shouldn't be so intimate."

Qin Ziwu glanced at his older brother suspiciously upon hearing this. "Brother, you weren't like this before! Could it be that you're having romantic feelings yourself?"

"Get lost, how's your merman language coming along?"

"Not bad. Mogu said I'm learning very fast." Qin Ziwu was somewhat proud. It seemed that he was quite talented in learning, but he hadn't put in the effort in this area before.

"Yes, learn a foreign language as soon as possible, because I'll have to give you more responsibilities later."

"Oh, please stop, I feel like my back is about to give out."

"You're still young, you can handle it."

The next morning, Qin Ziwen took Mogu to the underwater fishman tribe.

He had an idea, which came about after his encounter with the hermit crab yesterday. This sea area is rich in species. He had previously encountered the extraordinary giant clam on the seabed, so there was no reason why there wouldn't be other extraordinary creatures.

Upon seeing Qin Ziwen leading Mogu to the merfolk tribe, the merfolk chieftain asked, "Qin, are the others being disobedient, Lorne and the others?"

Qin Ziwen cut to the chase, "They're living quite well now. I've come here to cooperate with your merman tribe in hunting extraordinary creatures."

There should be quite a few in this seabed, right? I'm not talking about the Thousand-Eyed Reaper level, but the weaker ones, even those with only a little bit of supernatural ability are fine.

The merman leader nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought. "Qin, your Metamorphosis Abyss needs these extraordinary creatures, right? In the past, when other Metamorphosis Abysses descended, they sometimes needed our assistance in finding extraordinary sea beasts."

"I need it personally," Qin Ziwen said succinctly. He was currently six spots short.

"Let me think about it." The merman leader pondered for a moment. "I know the location of some sea beasts, and I can take you there."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Qin Ziwen said gladly.

"Haha, we're friends, no need for such formalities between friends." The merman leader said, then asked, "So when do we set off? Now?"

Qin Ziwen glanced at Mogu, "We can do it now."

With Mogu around, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ordinary extraordinary sea monsters should be no match for it.

Even the Thousand-Eyed Serpent was suppressed like that; the only thing that could suppress it would probably be the Primordial Giant Serpent, which is ranked fourth on the Hunting Ladder.

But the deep sea is so vast, how could it possibly happen to encounter the primordial giant serpent?

The merfolk leader led them away from the tribe and swam westward.

About ten minutes later, a raised underwater mountain range appeared in front of us.

　There will be more updates later.
