CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 38: FOUR NEW ENTRIES

But what the rescue team did not expect was.

Chen Wen was not planning to let this matter go just like that.

On the way back, Chen Wen kept thinking about how to get revenge.

After all, that fish attacked them first.

Just leaving like this didn’t sit well with Chen Wen.

Got to avenge Bai!

Back at the camp.

Seeing the bucket full of seafood, everyone was stunned.

"This... what is this?"

The people from the inland didn’t recognize the sea urchin, seeing the spiky little balls, they were a bit freaked out.

The main thing was, those spikes seemed to move!

"That’s terrifying!"

Wang Zhi couldn’t help but step back, almost falling on his butt.

"Can’t recognize the goods, huh?"

As a chef, Du Feng smugly said: "This thing is called a sea urchin, it’s really delicious!"

"Fresh sea urchin can be eaten directly, the taste is great!"

Du Feng said, turning to Chen Wen: "Shall we open one?"

"Open them all! Let’s have a taste!"

Chen Wen waved his hand grandly, having brought them back to satisfy the cravings of his buddies.

With permission given, Du Feng picked up a sea urchin, skillfully opened it, and cleaned away the other parts.

Then he rinsed it with water and picked out the yellow part with a dagger.

"Guocheng, you go first."

Lv Guocheng took the sea urchin and thanked him.

In the gaze of the others, Lv Guocheng swallowed it in one bite, calmly saying: "Not bad."

Seeing Lv Guocheng’s indifferent reaction, Du Feng didn’t mind.

This guy is quite wealthy, having eaten better things is not surprising.

He turned his gaze to the others from normal backgrounds.

"Shan, it’s your turn."

Gan Tieshan took the yellow part and ate it curiously.

His eyes lit up: "Delicious! The taste is quite unique!"

At this, the others got interested too.

Everyone shared the sea urchin, eventually leaving only Wang Zhi, who had a serious aversion to raw seafood.

"Come on, come on, little fatty, let me open one for you to boost your health, see how skinny you’ve gotten!"

Du Feng cheerfully opened a new one.

As he was about to use the knife to pick out the yellow part, he raised his eyebrow: "Whoa! Little fatty, you’re lucky! This one’s even tastier! Comes with its own seasoning!"

Upon hearing Du Feng’s words, Wang Zhi hesitated, but finally, under everyone’s coaxing, took the dagger.

"This... can really be eaten?"

"Absolutely edible!"

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

"Then what’s this white stuff on top, looks a bit like..."

"Don’t overthink it, just eat it and you’re good!"

With everyone’s constant urging, Wang Zhi closed his eyes and ate it in one bite.

A few who knew about sea urchins showed their successful plot smiles.

Wang Zhi instantly felt something wrong: "No way! Why are you all laughing so slyly? What exactly was that thing?!"

Du Feng took back the dagger, elbowing Lv Guocheng.

Lv Guocheng couldn’t stand seeing the young man being kept in the dark, so he organized his words: "It’s definitely edible, but not from the best place, so generally no one questions it too much."

"However, since you asked, I’ll tell you, the yellow part is the sea urchin’s gonads."

Gonads?

This time, not just Wang Zhi, even the others who were watching had a change of expression.

"Gonads... could you elaborate a bit?"

Wang Zhi was unwilling to give up and struggled.

Lv Guocheng looked at the faces changing.

Wang Zhi, Zhang Hu, Lu Heng, Zhuo Hongnian, and Chen Wen.

All young men!

"Gonads just mean what you think, exactly as you’d imagine."

Lv Guocheng stopped teasing: "Actually, it’s the sea urchin’s, don’t look down on it, but it’s very beneficial, good for strengthening vitality, enhancing male capabilities, benefiting the heart, and fortifying the bones."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi’s face turned whiter than Bai Yachuan: "Then... then what was that white stuff?"

Lv Guocheng looked at Wang Zhi with sympathy: "You ate the male one, don’t you have that thing too?"

"Ugh!"

Wang Zhi couldn’t hold it any longer, retching repeatedly.

The other four were alright; they hadn’t eaten the male one.

But thinking they had just eaten sea urchin gonads, coupled with Wang Zhi’s constant retching.

Several of them couldn’t help but retch twice.

Chen Wen held his head, sighing: "Fortunately, luck was on my side, or we’d have carelessly eaten gonad essence!"

Hearing Chen Wen’s words, Wang Zhi’s face filled with rage: "Du Feng led me astray! I’m going to fight you!"

"Hey, don’t just stare at me! They all did it!"

...

After the playful chaos.

Lunch time arrived.

At Chen Wen’s request, Du Feng processed and cooked every seafood they brought back.

Boiled clam slices, grilled angelfish, plus some unknown fish, with cassava soup.

A feast.

The clam tasted average, similar to conch, absorbing whatever seasoning flavor you gave it.

The angelfish tasted better, quite fragrant, seasoning added, tasted quite good.

The unknown fish also tasted alright, just like any regular sea fish.

Once the meal was finished, Chen Wen gained three attributes.

Two good and one bad for the clam, Chen Wen chose the relatively useful one.

[Longevity (Blue): You have a long lifespan, increasing the lifespan limit]

[Note: We are the world’s largest bivalve mollusks, thanks to our long lifespan — Tridacna]

One good and two bad for the angelfish, no choice.

[Burst Speed (Green): You can burst in water for a short time, moving faster]

[Note: You don’t need to be faster than the predator, nor run as long, surpassing companions in short bursts will do! — Blackspot Angelfish]

The unknown fish also came with one good and two bad, no choice.

[Agility (Blue): Your movements are more agile, able to occasionally ignore water resistance]

[Note: Want to move underwater? Welcome me as your master! — Helmet Fish]

All three attributes are decent, especially with one increasing longevity.

After eating, Chen Wen habitually took the cassava and kitchen scraps to find the pig he raised.

The pig, having been fed for so long, had grown accustomed to Chen Wen’s presence.

After all, it had been raised by humans since its birth.

The difference was simply who the feeding person was.

It hummed and got up from the ground, looking at what Chen Wen threw over.

All tasty things.

The pig snorted and ate happily.

Chen Wen crouched beside it, reaching out his hand to test the pig’s reaction.

It didn’t mind Chen Wen’s actions.

Soon, a sound from the system in Chen Wen’s mind.

[Taming Successful]

Finally succeeded!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but sigh, taming is truly difficult!

Even these domestic animals already tamed by humans took quite some effort to tame again.

If it were wild animals, they’d likely end up like the Black Panther, having to fight until subdued.

Tough!

Chen Wen shook his head, choosing the attribute.

The pig’s attributes were two good and one bad.

Lazy was the bad one; the two good ones were enhancing skin toughness and improving smell.

Smell, Chen Wen felt it was of no use to him.

With a good smelling nose, he couldn’t distinguish the different meanings brought by different smells.

And many animals have good smell, he didn’t care for the pig’s blue smell enhancement.

Eventually, Chen Wen chose the attribute that enhanced skin toughness.

[Flexible Skin (Blue): Your skin is tougher, able to reduce some force during attacks, making you less prone to injury]

[Note: Snort~ — Pig]

With the attribute chosen, Chen Wen began to ponder revenge.
