Island Management: Starting With the Heart of Ocean as a Prize - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: The Goose-Necked Barnacles Sold by Gram Weighed Over a Thousand Catties!

Barnacles, crustaceans, were an extremely expensive ingredient in the west, and were known as delicacies from hell.

Some information related to this creature appeared in Qi Hang’s mind.

It was very difficult to pick this thing. Generally, the more frequently the waves washed over the place, the better it was.

It was the same for those parasitic on whales.

The continuous washing of the water provided enough nutrients for the barnacles to survive.

And on this killer whale’s body, there seemed to be quite a number of the highest quality barnacles — goose-necked barnacles.

This thing was very expensive, and it seemed to be of very good quality. The price of a single gram was at least several tens of yuan.

“It really came out.”

Qi Hang could not help but chuckle. He did not expect his previous premonition to actually come true.

Without saying anything else, he began to harvest.

This process was very painful. In order to prevent the killer whale from struggling due to the pain, Qi Hang could only turn his back to Xie Yulu, take out a bit of the ocean essence, rub it on his hand, and then operate again.

The killer whale seemed to know that Qi Hang was doing this for its own good. It obediently stayed on the surface of the water and allowed him to remove the swan-necked barnacles that were parasitic on its body piece by piece.

After a long while, the dazed Zhang Zitong placed her chin on Xie Yulu’s shoulder and poked her waist with her hand.

“What’s Your Prince Charming doing?”

“Maybe… He’s giving the whale a back rub?”

Zhang Zitong rolled her eyes. “If you say that he’s treating the whale, I might believe you a little…”

Xie Yulu did not speak.

What Qi Hang was doing to the killer whale was too strange. In the eyes of the layman, it was a mysterious operation.

However, the killer whale still looked very gentle and enjoying it.

“The chat screen asked us to take a closer look.” Zhang Zitong was also very curious and tiptoed to take a look.

“I don’t want to…”

Xie Yulu immediately refused. The killer whale that looked like it was covered in scabs did not look cute at all.

[Little Streamer, don’t be a coward!]

[The light over there is too dim. We can’t see anything clearly.]

[Hurry up and go down! If you don’t go down, I’m logging off!]

One chat comment after another floated past, and Xie Yulu’s hundreds of thousands of fans had really decreased by a few hundred at this moment.

“Why are you guys really logging off!”

Xie Yu Lu grabbed the broadcast equipment, staring at the thousands of people still online in the broadcast room. “Hey, this isn’t a joke, this is an orca, not a domesticated cat or dog, if we anger it, the three of us won’t have a good time.”

Some people sent gifts with a message [Little Streamer doesn’t have any female fans.]

More gifts with messages, [Little Streamer’s competitor sends the helicopter.]

[We will send you a love ray gun!]

[What did you say? Say It again, I’ll give you a chance to reorganize your language.]

[I believe there’s no problem that can’t be solved with a gift, if there is a problem, just send more gifts.]

“…”

Xie Yulu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Hey, hey, hey, hey, that’s enough. Normally, you won’t see a gift that costs more than a hundred yuan for a day or two. Why are you so generous today?”

[Huh? No way, no way. Don’t tell me that some streamer really thinks that these gifts are for her?]

[The ones who send gifts are female fans. Get to know them.]

[The girls aren’t gifting the Little Streamer, they are gifting the male god in the stream! Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]

[I agree to this marriage!]

Xie Yulu felt drunk. She glanced at the income from today’s livestream. It actually reached five figures. It was almost the same as the income from her peak livestream.

Putting aside the portion that she had to share with the platform, she could still get more than 10,000.

He would have to hand over all the income to Qi Hang. This was what they had agreed on before.

If she could get him closer to the broadcast equipment, he could get a higher income.

Xie Yulu was very willing to make Qi Hang’s living conditions better.

As for the house that looked well-decorated…

Although she did not ask about it, it was obvious that it was left behind by Qi Hang’s parents, so he definitely did not have much savings.

When Xie Yulu came, she had already noticed that the living conditions of the residents of this island were really average. Her Prince Charming had to rely on fishing for a living, so he would definitely not be any better off.

However, what she was currently thinking was that if she were to do something inappropriate after going down, angering the killer whale and causing Qi Hang to fall into danger, then she would regret it for the rest of her life.

However, the expectations of the audience in the live broadcast room were too high. They were still continuously sending small gifts. It would be inappropriate if she did not go down.

After thinking for a while, she decided to ask for Qi Hang’s opinion. She called out in a low voice, “Qi Hang, can we go down?”

“You can, but you guys have to be careful. I can’t take care of you guys.”

Qi Hang, who was sitting on the orca’s body, pulled down some goose-necked barnacles and threw them onto the small boat.

At this time, the front half of the small sampan was already filled with barnacles, and he had just started.

There were too many barnacles on this killer whale’s body, it was covered with them.

No wonder it was so painful to hit such a large reef.

“It must weigh more than a thousand pounds.”

Qi Hang felt that his small boat was unable to bring these goods back.

Although it had been modified by Fang Qing’s ancestral craft, and its quality was good, it was still a small boat. Not only did it have to carry goods, but it also had to bring the three of them and their equipment.

If it really could not be done, he could only temporarily leave these barnacles on the reef and make a few more trips.

“I really need to buy a big boat.”

Qi Hang felt that it was very troublesome. If he had a big boat, not to mention this one ton of goods, even this killer whale right now would be able to be packed up and taken away.

His entire body was drenched, and he could not help but feel a little cold from the early morning sea breeze. He could only take off his T-shirt and hang it on his shoulder to continue collecting barnacles.

His strong muscles were clearly outlined under the night fishing light, and he was filled with a sense of strength.

At this moment, Xie Yulu had already carefully dived into the darkness. When she saw this scene, she was stunned.

[Ahhhhh! Hubby is so handsome!!]

[I can’t take it anymore. Who can withstand this scene?!]

[I can touch his abs for the rest of my life!!]

The female fan immediately went crazy.

At this moment, Zhang Zitong, who was behind him, slipped and grabbed Xie Yulu’s arm in a panic. In the end, she lost her balance as well, and both of them plunged into the water.

Qi Hang was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at his stomach. Could it be that it was his fault?

Fortunately, the two of them had been wearing life jackets the whole time. They floated up very quickly and looked fine. They only choked on two mouthfuls of water.

He had no choice but to jump into the sea and pull them ashore.

First, it was Xie Yulu.

She felt the warm hand on her waist and naturally had a physiological reaction.

Her heart was racing, and her breathing was rapid.

She could not help but want to reach out and hug the man in front of her to further feel the hard-earned sense of security.

However, just as she was about to do so, Qi Hang let go of her hand after sending her onto the reef. The whole process did not even take ten seconds.

Then, it was Zhang Zitong.

Xie Yulu stared at her nervously, afraid that her best friend would finish what she could not.
