Although we encountered dolphins and lost a lot of fish, fortunately everyone caught a lot of fish and the chef also prepared other delicacies such as scallops and sea cucumbers in advance.

While waiting for the chef to cook, several people asked the captain for tools and stayed on the deck to prepare to pry open the pearl oysters they brought aboard.

When Xu Weiwei came out of the shower, there were already some clam shells scattered on the ground.

"Did any pearls come out?"

"Some pearls have been opened out, but the shapes are not very good." Kane pointed his chin to the upper left corner of his body, where there was half a clam shell serving as a bowl, with five or six pearls in it. The small ones were as big as rice grains, and the big ones were no bigger than peas.

Although the shape is not regular at all, Xu Weiwei thinks it is very beautiful, with a retro Baroque aesthetic.

I looked around and saw other people's and found that most of them were like this. Very few were round and big.

But the crowd did not get discouraged. They had only opened one or two, and there was still great hope for the future.

After all five sessions were completed, several people sat in a circle, showed their results, and compared them with each other.

Sifos glanced around, then proudly took out a very round white pearl from his pocket: "Ha! You lost, didn't expect that I still have a trick up my sleeve, hehe!"

Mrs. Wolfhard rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Seaforth, are you childish?"

None of the ones she opened were pleasing to her eyes, and in the attempt to pry open these "tough-talking" guys, she even damaged her beautiful nails. It was really a loss of both the wife and the army.

The old man touched the round thing in his pocket and was in a dilemma...

Adjutant Qiu was a little stronger mentally. He pushed his glasses down and stretched out his left hand which had been clenched into a fist: "Sorry, mine seems to be more beautiful."

In the palm of her open hand was a pearl about the same size as Seaforth's, but it was a little pinker in color and looked a little more tender.

Mrs. Wolfhard was completely speechless. How could they all look better than hers? But she wasn't a loser either!

Mrs. Wolfhard placed her hopes on her son.

The three little guys also showed their "trump cards". Kane also took out a large moon-white pearl, about eight or nine millimeters in diameter; Ryan's pearl was purple, and in terms of color alone, it was the most beautiful in the whole venue.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to Finn.

Finn: "Why are you looking at me? I'm gone. It's all here." Finn pointed to the small plate made of clam shells in front of him.

Mrs. Wolfhard looked away in disappointment.

Finally, after a vote by non-participants, the winner of the clam opening competition was decided. That was Ryan, who was the winner with his unique color!

Others reluctantly said to Ryan: "You won, you are awesome."

Ryan rarely showed his eight-tooth smile, then picked up the purple pearl that helped him win the championship and gave it to Xu Weiwei: "Weier, this is for you."

"Ah, thank you, brother." Xu Weiwei accepted it.

Kane also gave the one he thought was the best-looking to his sister, and Sifos gave it to his wife.

The game was over, and everyone stood up and prepared to return to the cabin.

Xu Weiwei watched as the crowd were holding small bowls of clam shells and preparing to throw the remaining pearls into the sea, so she quickly called out to them and asked for the remaining pearls back.

"Why keep these if they don't look good?" Although everyone was puzzled, they still gave the rest to Xu Weiwei.

"It's beautiful. Irregularity has its own beauty. I think it's very beautiful. Besides, they are all opened by everyone. It would be a pity to throw them away." Xu Weiwei said, holding a handful of "defective products".

"You have a unique vision..."

While no one was paying attention, Finn quickly took out a bead from his pocket and mixed it in with the original pile of pearls. It was a white, plump, round bead.

The color is not unique compared to others, nor is the diameter the largest. Nothing special.

After seeing other people's cards, Finn felt that there was no need to bring them out. If he showed his cards when he was doomed to lose, wouldn't it be a double humiliation?

But it doesn't matter now.

After the people surrounding Xu Weiwei dispersed, Finn went over and nonchalantly handed over his "plate".

Xu Weiwei looked at the pearl in confusion, then looked at Finn. Was there such a round bead just now?

Seeing that Finn looked normal, Xu Weiwei didn't care too much and reached out her hand. She had taken off her small shoulder bag when she took a bath and forgot to put it back, so she could only hold it like this.

Finn tilted the clam shell, and the bead slid along the edge into Xu Weiwei's palm.

But Xu Weiwei's hands were too small, and she was holding a lot of pearls. When the pearls fell, they collided with each other, and some of them were knocked away and rolled to the ground.

Xu Weiwei instinctively tried to catch the pearls, but she didn't pay attention to the other pearls in her hand, causing more to fall. For a moment, the deck was filled with the sound of pearls bouncing and rolling everywhere.

Especially the round ones, they roll particularly far.

Xu Weiwei quickly put the remaining pearls into the big pocket of Finn's shorts, then bent down to pick up the ones on the ground. Others also came to help.

Sifos raised his head carelessly, and the strings in his heart instantly tightened, "Weier, come back, don't go that way."

It turned out that Xu Weiwei had already approached the fence while picking up the things. With her body shape, the gap in the middle was enough for her to slip through.

Xu Weiwei also realized the danger and stood up to go back.

"Don't stand there!" Seaforth shouted hurriedly.

However, it was too late. Xu Weiwei had already stood up. She had been squatting and picking up things for a long time. When she stood up suddenly, her head became congested. Coupled with the bumpy boat, Xu Weiwei lost her balance and took a few steps back and fell backwards.

Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throats. Adjutant Qiu and Sifos reacted the fastest and dropped the things in their hands and ran towards her. However, the distance was too far, and they watched Xu Weiwei's upper body pressed against the railing, about to fall out.

At the critical moment, a hand grabbed her raised ankle and pulled her back.

Sifos' heart beat wildly, as if to make up for the missed beat.

Finn covered his face with one hand, and with the other hand he still tightly grasped Xu Weiwei's slender ankle, not daring to let go.

As a temporary "pocket", he was the closest to Xu Weiwei. The moment he saw Xu Weiwei was unsteady, he wanted to help her, but he accidentally stepped on a bead and his head hit the deck.

Ignoring the pain, Finn lunged forward again and grabbed Xu Weiwei who was about to fall.

"I tied it up for a long time but didn't use it. It fell off as soon as I untied it. It's really..." Sifos sighed.
