After a rare moment of lingering in bed, Shu Ran woke up to find it already broad daylight.

I stayed in bed, not wanting to get up, and just stretched.

The bathroom door opened, and Yunxi walked out, drying his hair. His short hair, typical of male celebrities, had a slightly messy yet beautiful look after being tousled by a towel.

Shu Ran looked up and saw that his clothes were neatly put on. She asked with some regret, "You went to exercise?"

"Hmm, you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't call you to come with me."

She casually hung the towel aside, returned to the bedside and sat down, her short hair still slightly damp.

Yunxi, having adapted to local customs, rarely uses magic anymore unless absolutely necessary or when she's feeling lazy.

The world is currently lacking in spiritual energy, and we rely entirely on our own spiritual power and the spiritual stones in our space for consumption. Eventually, we will run out of spiritual energy.

They made a phone call to arrange things, and a few days later the two boarded the plane. Their destination was Shu Ran's fishing grounds, nearby.

There are places to go beachcombing, and there are also small uninhabited islands nearby.

Following Shu Ran's request, Uncle Yu found a suitable shore for beachcombing and hired people to work in three shifts overnight to build a small house.

It's a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom apartment, 50 square meters in size, and there aren't many people around.

The nearest populated area is the fish farm's office area on shore.

After dropping the two off, Shu Xiang went back. He needed to pick up Shu Lichan tomorrow to sign a contract in Country Y. He would be called over whenever the family head needed him.

The small house was fully equipped with all necessary supplies, and even the tools for beachcombing were stored in a separate small warehouse outside.

There's also a small boat, which can support short-distance sea trips, so going to a few small islands not far from here shouldn't be a problem.

Not understanding why the head of the family chose this time to go beachcombing, Shu Yu specially prepared a tide chart and placed it in the small house.

Although I don't understand, the head of the family must have her reasons for doing this.

Filled with doubt and a strange trust in Shu Ran, Shu Yu did not raise any objections.

After sending everyone away, only Shu Ran and Yun Xi remained.

The temperature in November is slightly lower than average for country C.

Wearing clothes made of temperature-regulating fabric, I didn't feel much cold.

"In this weather, going beachcombing?"

Yunxi has never gone beachcombing, but she has seen videos of it before, which are very relaxing.

I just felt the weather was too cold to go swimming in the sea.

The howling, cold wind was biting, and my face was covered with the smell of the ocean, or the fishy smell of the sea.

Shu Ran abandoned her idea of ​​immediately going to the beach. With her small frame, she would easily fall into the sea again if the sea breeze blew her away. It wasn't worth it!

"Ha, I didn't check the weather! Let me check the tide table."

Shu Ran smiled awkwardly but politely, realizing that the decision she had made in a moment of madness was truly unwise.

No wonder Uncle Yu hesitated to speak when he left.

Shu Ran rested for several days and was completely absorbed in her phone and tablet. Many of the novels and movies she downloaded were ones she had specifically chosen to watch.

I haven't had a chance to look at the system carefully yet.

Since we hadn't arrived at our destination yet, I wasn't in a hurry to see how the system worked. It was just a tool to help with navigating mountains and seas, offering some assistance.

a bolt from the blue!

Shu Ran froze when she opened the system. Why would a system that helps people explore mountains and seas provide a venue? Is it really that generous?

If they had known, they wouldn't have come.

Turning to look at Yunxi beside her, Shu Ran revealed a fawning smile; she felt guilty!

Because of her negligence, people were thrown into a lot of trouble, and even the house had to be built on the spot.

Somewhat annoyed, she realized that her self-control was still too poor; she lost her usual caution whenever she encountered "pacifier-like" entertainment.

"what happened?"

Yunxi was puzzled, but having witnessed the changes in Shuran's expression, she had a feeling that something had happened, perhaps related to the cheat code?

Instead of answering his question, Shu Ran simply asked, "Would you like to go beachcombing now? I'll take you to a good spot."

"Okay!"

Yunxi said she had no problem with it, anything was fine, as long as the two of them were together.

It doesn't matter where you go beachcombing, it just means you have to walk a little further.

He put all the beachcombing tools prepared in the warehouse into his spatial storage, and put on a layer of waterproof clothes and shoes over his thermostatic clothing.

Go back inside the house and close the front door.

Open the system, and a scene will be randomly selected from the available primary scenes.

He pulled Yunxi inside.

On an island with visibility of less than fifty meters, a few coconut trees are sparsely planted near the swirling white mist.

The coastline was quite long, but fifty meters from the sea, it was all covered in white mist, forming a ring, leaving only the outer layer for the two people to move around freely.

Behind them, a large area was shrouded in white mist, obscuring what was inside and blocking their view, as well as their movement.

The area where the two could move was within the area not covered by the white mist.

"Secret realm?"

He could feel the spiritual energy as soon as he entered. Although it couldn't compare to his hometown, it was much more abundant than the world he was currently living in.

After thinking for a second, Shu Ran nodded: "Pretty much! That's not wrong. This is one of the beachcombing scenes that comes with the system."

"There is spiritual energy here. Although it is not as concentrated as in a cultivation world, you can replenish the spiritual energy lost in your body at any time when using spells, without needing to use spirit stones."

Looking at the place shrouded in white mist, Yunxi frowned slightly, sensing that there was some danger lurking inside.

But thinking of the obstruction his divine sense encountered, he felt relieved. In the short term, there was no danger as long as the white mist did not dissipate.

"That's perfect, you can recover your spiritual energy here."

Seeing that the two were still chatting, the system couldn't stand it anymore. It was there to work, not to go on vacation.

I ignored it as soon as it was bound, and tolerated it chuckling to itself while holding a small board.

I finally activated the quest, so I have to get someone to finish it before I can go back!

[Welcome, Test Players and Assistants, to the sea! Hooray! Please complete the three-day tutorial to unlock limited-time access to the area.]

[Basic Task 1 is now issued: Each person must harvest 50 jin (50 catties) of seafood.]

???

Shu Ran was full of questions. Why was her personal freedom being restricted?

Counting the cheat codes she received after being congratulated by the system on turning twenty, they became increasingly... well~

It reminded her of the days when she was still a cow or a horse.

What? There's even a protection against minors when it comes to cheating?! As soon as I saw she was an adult, I immediately replaced the cheat that let her relax and enjoy herself.

Yunxi also heard the system's voice. Usually, he could only see the screen but not hear the system's voice, so he was a little surprised that he was suddenly included in the system's range this time.

It was as if a divine message was being transmitted, suddenly ringing in my mind, without the slightest feeling of my consciousness being invaded.

"Me too? Then the two of us will need a total of 100 jin."
