"Huh? Ye, Ye Feng? This guy is on the trending list? How did he get there?" the man exclaimed in surprise.
He then suddenly shouted towards the bedroom, "Li Xin, come out, hurry and come out!"
A lazy female voice came from inside, "Oh, what is it! You were making me so hot just now, I was taking a shower!"
Upon hearing this, the man continued, "Hurry and come out, come and see who this person is!"
Hearing the man's repeated urging, half a minute later, a woman walked out wrapped in a bath towel.
"What's the matter!" the woman said lazily.
The man took his phone and handed it to her, "Look quickly, isn't this guy your ex-boyfriend Ye Feng!"
The woman named Li Xin heard this, looked carefully, and replied, "Huh? It is Ye Feng! What's wrong?"
"Nothing! You can go back to what you were doing!" the man said.
"Brother Hao, I never liked him, I was just playing around with him before. My heart is only for you now..." the woman said quickly, seemingly afraid the man would overthink things.
The man, known as Brother Hao, replied, "I know, I just wanted to confirm with you if it was this guy!"
The woman nodded, "Oh, oh! That kind of person can never compare to even a finger of yours, Brother Hao. Why pay attention to him!"
Brother Hao listened and said angrily, "No way! Who told him to offend me! I'll let him know the consequences of offending me!"
Li Xin didn't say much upon hearing his words.
Out of curiosity, Brother Hao watched all three videos carefully.
"This guy is so good at fishing? Caught over forty fish in ten minutes?" After watching the first video, Brother Hao was stunned.
However, when he finished the second video, he found it even more unbelievable.
"Holy crap, this guy can hold his breath underwater for over ten minutes and catch fish with his bare hands! He's probably a monster!" Brother Hao exclaimed, shocked and cursing.
But this was not what shocked him the most, because when he saw the third video, he was speechless for a full half-minute.
"Broke a record? Directly broke the world record for 200-meter freestyle swimming?" Brother Hao said, shaking his head vigorously.
Li Xin next to him muttered, "How come I never realized this guy was so capable before?"
Brother Hao held his phone, his eyes shifting between anger and contemplation, as if he was thinking of something.
After a long while, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and he said, "This guy doesn't seem to be looking for work much lately. Find someone to see what he's up to!"
However, the protagonist of all these events, Ye Feng, knew nothing of this. He was happily humming a tune and driving his electric tricycle on the road.
"Riding my beloved little motorcycle, he'll never be stuck in traffic..."
Before long, he returned home and immediately started dancing with joy, couldn't be happier.
He had suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart while he was out, but now that he was home, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He started shouting and jumping as soon as he reached the gate.
He was so happy. With the abilities gained from the Sea God's inheritance, he had earned nearly half a million today.
Although more than three hundred thousand was won from bets, it was still won through the abilities he possessed after receiving the Sea God's inheritance.
Looking at the over half a million in his card, Ye Feng felt like he was dreaming.
He was a penniless loser who couldn't find a job and was rejected everywhere before yesterday.
Let alone five hundred thousand, he didn't even have fifty yuan. He even had to ask his mother for money to take a bus.
Ye Feng was excited for a long time before he managed to calm himself down.
It was already evening. He casually made some food and waited for his mother, then went back to his room.
In his room, he thought a lot and planned his future.
There were two main things: the first was to cultivate the Sea God's techniques, and the second was to catch fish.
The Sea God's techniques would allow him to inherit the Sea God's power and gain many miraculous abilities.
As for catching fish, it would allow him to become prosperous and guarantee his income.
For the next few days, Ye Feng spent his days catching fish and his nights cultivating, refusing any distractions.
After catching fish during the day, he would sell them at the Dragon King Hall, and at night, he would meditate and cultivate the Sea God's techniques.
This continued for a week. Ye Feng caught an average of about a hundred thousand yuan worth of fish each day.
By now, Ye Feng had nearly 1.2 million yuan in his possession, which was a considerable sum, at least for an ordinary college student.
However, he wasn't as happy anymore because in the last two days of this week, Ye Feng only caught less than twenty thousand yuan worth of fish.
It wasn't that Ye Feng couldn't catch more fish, nor was it that there were no more fish nearby. It was that the quantities of precious, top-tier seafood were decreasing, and the amount caught sold for less than twenty thousand.
This week, Ye Feng had explored almost the entire coastline near their island village, and he had caught and sold almost all the precious, top-tier seafood.
"Looks like I need to find a way!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
He hadn't anticipated this problem before, thinking that with this heaven-defying ability underwater, he would be worry-free.
But these past few days, he realized it wasn't that simple, because these fish could be caught, and even if they could recover, it wouldn't be in a short period.
What's worse, in the past decade or so, due to pollution in the surrounding waters and overfishing by people, the resources in the nearby sea areas were becoming scarcer.
Therefore, for Ye Feng to maintain such an income, he needed to have such marine resources.
Ye Feng could only think of two solutions: one was to go to more distant coasts, and the other was to go out to sea.
The simplest was to continue fishing on the coast outside the island village, which would just waste some time.
But this method was not sustainable either, because coastal resources were limited, and there was more competition than supply.
Going out to sea was the best option because the sea had abundant resources.
However, to go out to sea, a boat was needed. For nearshore fishing, a fishing boat was required, and for distant seas, an ocean-going vessel was needed.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng didn't have a boat now. Even if he had a little money to buy an ordinary fishing boat, he wouldn't know how to operate it, and it would be difficult for him to manage it alone.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Feng finally figured it out. What he needed to do now was to earn enough money so that he could buy a boat and then hire people...
So Ye Feng decided to first go to other nearby coasts to catch fish. Once he earned enough money, he would buy a boat and hire people to go out to sea.
The next morning, just as Ye Feng was preparing to go out fishing, his phone suddenly rang.
This made him very confused, because almost no one had called him proactively this week.
Taking out his phone, Ye Feng saw it was an unknown number, but he answered it politely.
"Hello! Hello!"
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Mr. Ye Feng! My name is Luo Yongjun, and I am the boss of 'Yearly Fish.' A client's fish is sick, and could you please help treat it..."
