Ranch Story: Start Over

Feng Ling dived into the sea as quickly as an agile fish. The weather was very good today, and the waves were no longer as rough as before. Today's weather was more suitable for diving. With the waves so calm, it seemed as if they were smoothed by a mysterious force.

After dropping its anchor, the huge steam ship anchored steadily on the mirror-like calm sea surface.

Under the sea, shining through the scorching sun, Feng Ling, wearing a deep-sea diving suit, looked along the sunlight that was projected straight to the bottom of the sea. He saw clumps of seaweed and colorful fish swimming and playing among them.

The swaying light and shadows interweave together to give people a peaceful and tranquil diving experience.

Since the magic sailboat was quite large, and the surrounding water was clear and transparent, the vision was excellent, it should have been easy to see everything around it and find it quickly, but Feng Ling searched for a long time and didn't see it.

In such a clear environment, although Feng Ling found nothing, it didn't take long for Gast in the other direction to notice something strange and swam forward quickly.

Feng Ling felt a slight vibration coming from his diving suit. He immediately understood that this was the communication method they had agreed upon in advance.

It was impossible to shout loudly to convey information underwater, but the signal vibration built into this simple diving suit was enough to alert Feng Ling to Gast's discovery.

Before landing, they had already agreed on the meaning of various signals: three long and three short meant that the target had been found; three long and one short meant that an abnormal situation had occurred; and three long and two short meant an emergency call for help.

When Feng Ling felt the "target found" signal sent by Gast, he did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly emerged from the water.

In the distance, Gast had already emerged from the sea, and was shouting to Feng Ling using his magic to amplify his voice:

"Brother Feng, come quickly, I found it!"

Gast's swimming ability is really amazing. After five minutes, he had already searched most of the area and was more than 500 meters away from him. Feng Ling hurriedly swam back to the fishing boat and drove the boat towards the target location.

When they arrived at the target location, Feng Ling and the fishermen quickly pulled Gast back to the boat to have a good rest.

"Brother Feng, the sailboat is right below. It's a bit big, so it's a bit difficult to pull it back. But if we suspend it and repair it, we should be able to sail back to the nearest beach."

Gast wiped the sea water off his face, took the fresh water handed to him by Feng Ling and drank it all in one gulp.

"That's good, that's good. This is my first time sailing a boat. If it hadn't been for the storm last time, we wouldn't have hit the reef and sunk. Is the situation down there complicated?"

"It's OK. There's no danger. It might be because of the strong wind and waves when it sank last time. Look, from this angle, it's almost 500 meters away from the reef area."

The fisherman on the fishing boat was an employee of the Sea House. This was the first time Feng Ling met him, but Gast knew him well. He had the typical appearance of a seaside fisherman, with dark and strong muscles, but he looked very kind and honest. Gast kept calling him Uncle Yu, and Feng Ling imitated him and said to Uncle Yu:

"Uncle Yu, thank you for your help today. As long as you can drive it back, I will reward you 10,000 yuan."

"You are too polite, Feng Ling. I still haven't repaid you for the eight times magic holy water you invited everyone to drink last time. It's just a small matter, so just take care of it."

"No, no, Uncle Yu, let's put things in perspective. I can't ask you to help me for nothing, so please don't refuse. By the way, how is the fishery harvest this year?"

"Then I'd be remiss to refuse. Harvest? You mean the fishing? It's just so-so, not bad. Besides, the fishing grounds in Mineral Town are not big, and there's no suitable fishing environment."

Feng Ling mentioned it casually, and Uncle Yu's words immediately aroused Feng Ling's interest.

"Uncle Yu, I see the water is so clean, shouldn't it be easier for fish to survive and breed?"

"How can it be that simple? Do you think you are raising fish with feed? The meat quality of fish raised with ordinary conventional feed is just so-so, and the market demand is small."

Hearing Uncle Yu say this, Feng Ling's eyes lit up and he looked at Gast.

Gast felt bad and shouted in his heart:

"No, Brother Feng, please don't do anything rash. Please don't do anything rash."

Feng Ling looked at Gast's eyes and smiled, then said something that Gast had expected to be scary.

"Uncle Yu, do you think it's hopeful if I open a fishery here?"

"Brother Feng, calm down. You have too many things to do right now. If you continue, you will be exhausted to death."

Gast was really worried about Feng Ling. Human energy is limited, and you can't pretend that your energy is unlimited. You are so talented, and you do a little bit of everything. How can I guide you to the most important scientific research?

Uncle Yu was a little stunned for a moment. Why did this young man want to open a fishery without any agreement? Is he serious?

"Uncle Yu, please have some fruit."

Feng Ling didn't waste any time and directly took out three special-grade onions from the storage pendant and gave one to each person.

Because the premium onions have just been put on the market, not many people know about them. Watching Feng Ling peel off the skin to reveal the purple flesh inside, the onion-shaped onion tasted very fragrant. Uncle Yu and Gast skeptically followed Feng Ling's movements and took a bite. After taking this bite, their eyes widened.

Seeing the two of them eating the premium onions like a whirlwind, Feng Ling looked at their performance with satisfaction and stuffed another one into each of them.

At this time, Uncle Yu touched his belly and said:

"I feel a warm flame burning in my body and my feet. The rheumatism I got from years of soaking in the sea has been largely relieved after the last marrow cleansing. I just ate an onion you mentioned today, and now I feel better."

"Gaster, what do you think?"

"I feel the magic power in my body is accumulating, and a powerful spiritual force is increasing."

"This is a special onion that can transform its flesh into fire magic. I have decided to build a fishery here in the future. The fish raised in the fishery will be fed with the crops produced by my ranch. What do you think?"

What do we think? What can we say? Can we say you are squandering the food? Gast and Yushu stared at each other, not knowing what to say. If you feed the fish with such low-quality feed, which fish farm can compete with you?

Seeing the two of them being silent for a while, Feng Ling took out a small knife and quickly chopped the top-grade onion in his hand, then threw the pieces next to the fishing boat.

In just one minute, the area where the premium onions were dropped became like a fishing ground where fish were harvested. Countless fish gathered together and scrambled to grab the onions. Feng Ling, the instigator, calmly continued to feed the fish with the premium onions in his hand. Even if Feng Ling touched their bodies, the sea fish ignored him and continued to eat.

Feng Ling casually picked up a wild salmon from somewhere. It didn't look big, but it was quite greedy. Seeing it opening and closing its mouth but still continuing to eat, Feng Ling casually threw it away, but saw the figure quickly rushing back.

"Uncle Yu, what do you think? Are you interested? Come and work for me. I will definitely offer you a higher salary than the Sea House!"

Feng Ling threw all the onions in his hand down, looked at the splashing water, turned around and asked.
