Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

It was almost 7 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at the beach. There was no other way. As long as I set the alarm clock specially or exerted too much physical strength, the sleep quality in Mineral Town was always super good. The moment I closed my eyes and opened them again, it was 6 o'clock in the morning, not a second off.

The Sea House was not open yet, but Zach, who loved diving, was already doing warm-up exercises on the beach. Some diving equipment was placed on the more than ten-meter-long wooden bridge extending into the sea next to the house.

Seeing Lin Xia appear on the beach, Zach greeted her enthusiastically: "Lin Xia, good morning!"

"Morning, Zach. The temperature at the beach in the morning is so nice and comfortable!"

That’s right, it’s the temperature, not the air, because the air quality in the entire Mineral Town is super good at any time, there is no pollution here!

"Yes, the current temperature is just right for going to the sea. In a few days, it will be autumn, and then it will not be suitable for going to the sea in the morning and evening. It will be too cold, and most people can't stand it! But now I am not afraid. The clothes that Lao Huo gave me have a good function of regulating temperature. I think I can go to the sea even in winter..."

Lin Xia: This guy is truly a diving enthusiast!

"Without further ado, Zach, what should I do now? Do I have to warm up, too?"

Zach came back to his senses and said, "Yes, you must warm up before going into the sea, otherwise there is a risk of cramps. You can move your limbs and body appropriately, or jog along the coast for 10 minutes."

Lin Xia immediately chose to jog, which took the opportunity to pick the purple herbs that randomly appeared on the coast, killing two birds with one stone.

Ten minutes later, Zach took Lin Xia and changed into a set of diving equipment. At the same time, he told her the precautions during diving: "The above are the basic precautions, but Lin Xia, you don't have to worry too much. You are already wearing the clothes that Lao Huo gave us. It not only has emergency oxygen, but also turns on all-round protection without delaying breathing, and you can still speak normally.

The original diving equipment still requires the breathing end of the oxygen equipment to be placed in the mouth. With this set of clothes, you only need to connect the breathing end of the diving equipment to the breathing interface of the mask. It is equivalent to a closed breathing system inside the clothes, and the diving oxygen tank is its oxygen supply bottle, and that's all.

By the way, Huoan’s clothes and gloves are not a hindrance at all, but the material is very tough, so we can feel the underwater creatures with our hands. Although the shoes are also tough, fins are still needed to save effort in swimming underwater, unless you have excellent swimming skills. "

After hearing this, Lin Xia quickly said, "My swimming skills are very average. I can only do the doggy paddle. I will wear anything else besides fins to assist swimming!"

Zach: "It's okay, it's okay. If you go into the sea more often, your swimming skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Besides, there is a difference between diving and simple swimming. Don't worry!"

After finishing the necessary matters, Lin Xia, under Zack's guidance, first turned on the all-round closed protection of the black technology clothes, then put on the diving equipment and connected the breathing end. The breathing end has now been changed to a patch type, which is very convenient.

After everything was ready, they followed Zack to the front of the small wooden bridge. Zack took an easy step forward and went directly into the water. Then he floated on the sea and waved at Lin Xia. Lin Xia took a deep breath and followed him.

With a "plop", I fell into the sea. Since the clothes themselves were equipped with a temperature regulating device to maintain a constant temperature, I did not feel any temperature change after entering the water.

Lin Xia was pulled by Zach to swim towards the sea. At this time, Lin Xia heard a faint "beep" prompt sound: "A device with the same signal is detected nearby. Do you want to start the voice connection?"

Lin Xia suddenly realized that this was the first time that the two sets of high-tech clothes were used at the same time at such a close distance, so Lin Xia said, "Turn it on."

Then a short music sounded, and then the message "Connection successful, you can start the call."

"Lin Xia, can you hear me?" This was Zack's voice, very clear, as if he was speaking in your ear.

Lin Xia quickly said, “Zack, I’m Lin Xia, I heard your voice!”

"Wow, I didn't expect that we could communicate so smoothly under the sea. That's great!"

Lin Xia nodded in approval, and moved freely. Under Zach's guidance, Lin Xia also learned to use her legs and hands, and began to try to swim on her own.

Soon, Zack brought Lin Xia to the area where he often moved around. It was not very deep from the sea, but it was still dark, so both of them turned on the lights on the brims of their clothes and adjusted the lights to the optimal brightness according to Lin Xia's wishes.

At this moment, in front of me is a colorful coral reef, and various fish swim past me from time to time. This feeling is so wonderful!

Zach led Lin Xia through the water, introducing them to the world. Lin Xia saw a large clam shell unfolded in the sand, with a huge black pearl inside. She immediately swam over and was about to reach out her hand when Zach stopped her and said softly, "Lin Xia, be careful. This clam is alive. Don't put your hand in it. If you get caught in it, even with clothes protecting you, it will break."

Lin Xia understood, so she showed the watch space on her wrist, and after confirming that the surroundings were within the scanning range of the watch, she thought, "Collect."

The clam shell immediately entered the space. Haha, this level 5 space is really useful, otherwise I would have to take it out myself before putting it in the backpack.

Other living animals cannot be placed in the backpack, but fish that can be shipped in Mineral Town can be placed in it. Marine creatures, as items that can be caught with fishing rods, can also enter the space.

After Zack made sure that Lin Xia was okay, he continued to lead Lin Xia forward, pointing out to Lin Xia everything that he saw that was beautiful and interesting.

As a senior foodie, Lin Xia could only sigh at the beautiful scenery for a moment. He was more concerned about the things he ate, used and could sell.

So, Zack pointed to Lin Xia and showed her a group of very small but numerous luminous fish. Lin Xia took a look and gave a compliment. Then, he immediately set his eyes on the king crab that crawled out from the cracks in the coral and decisively put it into the space.

Zach pulled Lin Xia to look at a forest of red corals, admiring their various shapes. Lin Xia walked around them, picked out a few of the most beautiful ones, took out an axe and a military shovel, and asked Zach to help her chop down a few of them and put them into the space.

In short, in the end, with Zack at a loss for words but embarrassed to dissuade him and having to help, Lin Xia harvested more than 20 king crabs, a dozen extra-large emperor crabs, 5 champagne crabs with a light golden appearance and covered with spikes on their shells, and 36 Dungeness crabs with smooth shells and an ingot-like appearance.

Later, when Lin Xia saw the giant deep-sea lobsters, her eyes lit up and she immediately bought more than 50 of them without hesitation.

Zack was puzzled to see that Lin Xia collected so many hard-shelled animals. Lin Xia could only say that she really liked eating seafood.

Who can understand the tragedy of the southern inland people who love seafood but are deterred by its high price? Now that I live by the sea and have a good environment, I can catch and eat my own fish, which is something I never dared to think about before!

Later, I collected 2 super-large octopuses and more than 30 jellyfish. I even asked Zach to take me to the place where the seaweed gathered and cut more than 10 kelp with a sickle. I will also bring pork rib soup and cold kelp shreds in the future!
