The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Among the reefs, many adults and children were already carrying fish baskets, heads down, searching everywhere.

Li Kaixin and his group of five were still some distance from the reefs when Zhou Zhiming became impatient.

He turned to Li Kaixin and said, "Master, Tian Ge, Da Zhuang Ge, and I will go ahead and take a look."

After saying that, he grabbed Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang and quickened his pace toward the reef.

When Li Kaixin and Song Hai caught up, Zhou Zhiming and the other two were working together to lift a large rock.

The back of the rock was covered with abalone, and in the shallow pools of water underneath, you could see something slowly swimming around.

Zhou Zhiming and his two companions were also at a loss for what to eat, as it was their first time there.

At this moment, Li Kaixin squatted down and looked at the abalone on the rocks, as well as the octopus and mantis shrimp that could be seen in the puddles.

This finally confirmed the curiosity of later generations: the seaside was indeed rich in resources these days.

This is one of the reasons why he just suggested coming here.

Seeing Li Kaixin squatting to the side, looking around, Zhou Zhiming quickly asked, "Master, what's edible here? Can you tell me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Dazhuang and Wu Tian turned around, waiting for Li Kaixin to speak.

During the month or so they spent together, they were unknowingly instilled with the idea that Li Kaixin was omnipotent.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Kaixin smiled and replied, "Everything here is edible."

Then they started explaining some science.

The general idea is that, apart from those with very bright colors, strange shapes, and jellyfish, most of them are edible.

After Li Kaixin finished speaking, Zhou Zhiming immediately took action, carefully prying the abalone off the stone.

Then he was about to put his hand into the puddle.

"Don't use your hands directly!" Li Kaixin quickly stopped Zhou Zhiming.

"What's wrong, Master?" Zhou Zhiming was taken aback, his hand frozen in mid-air.

Li Kaixin patiently explained:

"If you get injured on your hand, the seawater can cause infection, which could lead to serious problems, such as amputation or even death."

This is not an exaggeration. In his later years, he often heard online how serious the infection of wounds at the beach could be.

With the current medical conditions, if you get infected, there's almost no cure.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiming quickly withdrew his hand.

Hearing this, Wu Tian's voice trembled slightly: "Kaixin, maybe... we should just give up and leave?"

"Yes, yes!" Qian Dazhuang echoed.

Little did they know that catching some seafood could put their lives in danger.

Li Kaixin didn't expect that her words would frighten everyone, so she gently comforted them: "Infection is not certain, just don't use your hands directly."

"Master, but we don't have any tools on hand!" Zhou Zhiming said with difficulty.

Li Kaixin stood up and gestured with his chin toward a group of teenagers not far away:

"Isn't there something ready-made? You guys wait here for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he walked towards the children, leaving Wu Tian, ​​Zhou Zhiming, and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Approaching them, Li Kaixin greeted them with a smile and a warm voice, "Hello, young comrades!"

Upon hearing the sound, the children all looked up.

Seeing that it was a stranger, one of the older men straightened up and asked warily, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Li Kaixin's smile remained unchanged as he pointed to the items they were holding:

"Could you spare a few of these tools for me? I'll pay for them."

He turned back and pointed to Zhou Zhiming and the others, then continued, "This is our first time at the beach, and we want to try catching some seafood."

The older children listened, sized Li Kaixin up, and seeing that he was neatly dressed and didn't seem like a bad person, they said:

"Brother, wait a moment, let's discuss this."

Then, the children huddled together in a circle, heads close together, and started whispering among themselves.

They quickly reached an agreement.

The older man came back, smiling, and asked, "Brother, how many sets do you want? How much will you pay?"

"I'll give you five complete sets for one yuan," Li Kaixin said.

"Really? Big brother!" The child's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How could it be fake?" Li Kaixin said, taking out a dollar from his pocket and handing it over.

The child took the money, immediately ran back to his group of friends, and excitedly whispered a few words.

Soon, the children had gathered five fish baskets and five pairs of tongs, which they delivered to Li Kaixin.

The older one said seriously, "Brother, it's a deal, no backing out."

"Fine, whoever goes back on their word is a little dog."

Li Kaixin smiled and agreed, then nodded to the other children: "Little comrades, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he picked up the fish basket and tongs, turned around and walked towards Zhou Zhiming and the others.

When they reached Zhou Zhiming and the others, Li Kaixin distributed the tools.

Actually, the fish basket and the clips were very simple. The clips were just two bamboo boards pieced together, and the fish basket was also woven haphazardly and didn't look very nice.

The one yuan that Li Kaixin gave was considered a relatively high price.

After receiving the tools, the group lowered their heads and got to work.

Even the usually shy Song Hai quietly squatted down and carefully searched through the crevices of the rocks.

As the search area expanded, Li Kaixin and the other four agreed to meet again at the same spot later and then went their separate ways.

Li Kaixin became more and more enthusiastic as he picked up food, throwing octopus, abalone, scallops, conch, mantis shrimp, and anything edible into his bamboo basket.

Later, when the bamboo basket was full, he casually put it into the secret space.

There was so much seafood that you could just lift up a rock and find a whole bunch underneath.

When Li Kaixin looked up at the sky again, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Kaixin didn't plan to pick up any more and started walking back.

This time, not only were the fish baskets full, but the secret realm also contained about one or two hundred pounds of miscellaneous seafood.

When they returned to the agreed location, the other four had not yet returned, so Li Kaixin waited for them.

Just then, the children who had sold him the bamboo basket and clips earlier came over.

Seeing them, Li Kaixin chuckled and teased, "What's wrong? You guys didn't change your minds, did you?"

"No, no, brother, you've misunderstood."

The older one quickly waved his hand and explained, "We heard this is your first time beachcombing, and we're worried you might find something poisonous that you could take home and eat."

He paused, then continued, "Can I take a look?"

"Okay, thank you then." Li Kaixin said, handing over the bamboo basket.

Several children gathered around, examined the basket carefully for a while, and then returned it, but with strange expressions on their faces.

Seeing their expressions, Li Kaixin asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something we can't eat?"

"They're all edible, but..."

The older man hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up: "Brother, why are you collecting so many to feed the livestock?"

As he spoke, he picked out two abalones from the fish basket.

Li Kaixin's lips twitched, then she used a smile to cover up her embarrassment.
