Xu Yiyi didn't care much about this. If she dressed up too much, it would only cause trouble for herself.

We sailed along the route we had taken to participate in the pearl diving competition. When we arrived at the pearl diving waters, we saw more than a dozen boats floating on them.

There were people standing on every boat, and they were very alert when they saw Xu Yiyi coming.

Although the pearl diving competition has ended for some time, everyone is familiar with Xu Yiyi's face.

Xu Yiyi looked as if he was not welcome, so he turned and went to another water area.

She had thought that when she came to the capital again, she would take the pearls and sell them to buy a boat.

Who knows, people are smart.

As soon as she left, Zhu Nu reported it directly.

It's been so long, maybe there's nothing left down there.

"Does she want to come here to collect pearls?"

……

As Xu Yiyi's boat disappeared from their sight, they started chatting with some confusion.

"Who knows? Even though pearls aren't as valuable now as they used to be, there's always a market for them. It's more dangerous than fishing, but the income is much higher. Who wouldn't want to earn some?"

The moment he spoke, he felt the rope in his hand shaking and immediately pulled it hard.

A pearl girl came up for air, making a sharp cry.

This is their unique way of breathing, and it is also the reason why they can stay underwater for a long time.

"She's quite good at holding her breath. Didn't she encounter an undercurrent during the previous competition? She was the one who rescued Li Zhunu. Do you think you can recruit her?

The other people on the boat thought about it and looked at the steward.

If a capable person comes in, the harvest might be even greater than before, so wouldn't they be able to get more money?

"Even if she's a good diver, it won't help. She hasn't been learning since she was a child, so who knows if her body can handle it, and no one would recommend her."

The manager took a look at it with embarrassment and straightened the cage that Zhu Nu handed over to him when she came up to get some fresh air.

"So this doesn't mean you have to figure it out? Everything else is just a minor problem."

The steward understood that they wanted her to be the one to make the recommendation.

"I'll find a chance to talk to her later."

The little steward is not as simple as others think. If Xu Yiyi is willing, he can sell it privately to a pearl merchant, which can make much more money than selling it to the government.

……

Xu Yiyi came to a vast area of ​​water, packed up and jumped into the water.

The water on the city side is warmer than that on the island side, a very subtle change.

Xu Yiyi felt it immediately.

When the temperature is warmer, sea urchins will naturally grow more vigorously.

The coral reefs are filled with sea urchins.

When I got to the bottom, I happened to see a palm-sized crab holding a sea urchin and gnawing on it.

The exposed sea urchin roe also attracted several fish.

As soon as Xu Yiyi stretched out her hand, the crab was frightened and wanted to let go of the sea urchin and run away. Unfortunately, she was quick and it was something she was used to doing, so she caught the Yuanbao crab.

Her action attracted many creatures to scurry around, exposing the moray eel that was originally swimming on the reef.

Xu Yiyi opened his fishing net, looked at the direction the conger eel was swimming, and ran around to it.

Just put the fishing basket there, and the ferocious giant eel crawled into it.

By the time he reacted, Xu Yiyi had already pulled up the fishing basket.

She turned around and used a fishing net to catch a bag of small sea fish, took one out and placed it on a reef.

If you look closely, you can see a nest inside, which is dark and looks like there is nothing inside.

But Xu Yiyi was sharp-eyed and saw the shrimp's constantly moving tentacles.

With the sea fish in front of him, the prawn couldn't resist the temptation and popped its head out. Xu Yiyi reached out and caught it.

This is a super large mantis shrimp, it looks very delicious.

Xu Yiyi couldn't help but feel secretly happy as he had picked up a lot of good things right after the opening.

She brought the fish from the net back to the surface and pulled them into the fishing boat.

These are small groupers that never grow to adult size, and are the most common type of fish encountered when fishing.

Although it is not big, it tastes very good, so I can barely sell it at a good price.

Xu Yiyi took some effort to puncture the swim bladders of a grouper in the net. He didn't know when he could go back, so he thought that puncturing their swim bladders first would help them live longer.

It will sell well when you get back to shore.

When we returned to the coral reef, everything was calm again.

The fish here are smarter than those near the island. I don’t know if it’s because the pearl girls often go to the sea, and these fish have seen more people and become smarter.

As a result, the sea fish would run away when they saw her, without even having a chance to open the fishing net.

Fortunately, there were still a lot of shrimps and crabs. Xu Yiyi stretched out his hand to distract the lobster's vision and caught them without using any tools.

She caught eleven or twelve crabs in a row, half of which were injured. She pushed aside a small piece of reef and two red-haired crabs were about to run out, and the next moment they were in her net bag.

When you reach the sand, you can see at a glance that there are many places with bubbles underneath.

There are things buried there.

Xu Yiyi held the dagger and pried out a bowl from inside. When he moved the things on top of it, he found that there was an octopus inside.

It is easiest to find crabs, snails and other things on the sand, and Xu Yiyi has good eyesight.

At a glance you can see some extremely camouflaged creatures; gently push aside the reef to reveal a large clam.

She carefully explored the seabed, trying hard to find delicious seafood.

I shuttled tirelessly on the seabed, estimating the time, and picked up a cage of sea urchins before going up.

There are types of sea urchins here that Xu Yiyi has never seen before. Their bodies are spherical and covered with hard spines on the surface. These spines are of different lengths, like sharp slates.

She picked it up curiously and looked at it from the top. She saw a slightly raised mouthpart in the center, surrounded by a circle of short spines.

It looks very strange.

This type of sea urchin hides in the coral reef, like an embellishment, and looks very beautiful.

Xu Yiyi picked up everything he saw.

When we returned to the sea, the sun was shining brightly and we felt warm.

She changed her clothes and sat lazily on the boat to bask in the sun.

There was only the sound of waves around, and suddenly a high-pitched "chirp" sound was heard, echoing on the beach.

Xu Yiyi looked around and his eyes were attracted by the unusual movement not far away.

I saw a little dolphin rolling and struggling in the waves, its body tightly trapped in a worn fishing net.

When we rowed the boat forward, we found that the little dolphin had been injured by the fishing net.

Just as Xu Yiyi was about to get closer, the little dolphin showed extreme fear and helplessness. Its smooth gray body twisted in the fishing net and made bursts of anxious cries.

Xu Yiyi took a look and found that the fishing net was about 90% new.

It is very likely that the baby dolphin was caught in the net of fishermen.
