From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

At Li Jun’s home, he was eating with Zhang Ya. For the past few days, Li Jun had been staying home, waiting for Li Yang’s call to go out to sea.

After the Bluefin Tuna auction ended, Li Yang had also given bonuses to the crew members, about one hundred thousand yuan each.

The last time, the large yellow croakers sold for twenty million, but this time the Bluefin Tuna sold for a hundred million, so the bonuses were definitely bigger.

Li Yang wasn’t a cheapskate, and it was a time-honored tradition to give the crew bonuses when the fishing boat had a big haul.

Li Jun had received the one hundred thousand yuan a few hours ago, which made both him and Zhang Ya incredibly happy.

”Honey, with this hundred thousand, we can start planning for a baby sooner,” Zhang Ya said with a smile.

Their financial situation was average, so even though they were married, they hadn’t been planning on having a child just yet.

But now, in just a short time, Li Jun had over a hundred thousand yuan. Combined with their previous savings, they could afford to have a child.

”Yeah, we’ll have to work hard on that,” Li Jun said with a grin.

As they were talking, Li Jun’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was a call from Li Yang, Li Jun quickly answered.

”Xiaoyang, I’m eating right now... Okay, I’ll head over as soon as I’m done...” Li Jun said hurriedly.

Hanging up, he met Zhang Ya’s gaze and said directly, ”Xiaoyang’s back. We’re heading out to sea this afternoon. I have to go now.”

He quickly shoveled down a few more bites of food and then stood up.

”Honey, be careful out at sea.”

Seeing this, Zhang Ya quickly stood up as well to help Li Jun get his things.

She knew her husband was now working under her cousin, but the pay was incredibly generous. In a short period, he had already earned over a hundred thousand yuan.

Although she knew this wasn’t a long-term thing, the money was enough to equal what they could painstakingly save in two or three years.

...

At Sun Datao’s home.

”Dad, Mom, Brother Li just called me. I’m heading to the boat. I’ll call you again when I get back.”

Sun Datao was lounging in a chair, playing on his phone with a devil-may-care attitude.

Normally, his father would have definitely nagged him about it, but now he said nothing.

Just before, a direct deposit of one hundred thousand yuan had appeared on his son’s phone. In a short time, his son had already earned a total of one hundred twenty thousand yuan from going to sea!

He broke his back at the construction site and only made eighty or ninety thousand a year, yet his son had earned more than that in just a few days.

After he spoke, Sun Datao’s mother hurried to help him pack his things, repeatedly reminding him, ”Datao, be careful of the dangers, and listen to Xiaoyang, you hear? He’s the boss now.”

”I know, I know,” Sun Datao said nonchalantly.

Lately, as the money in his pocket grew, his status at home had steadily risen. His dad no longer nagged him about going to work at the construction site.

At this, Sun Datao’s father also chimed in, ”Since you’ve just started as a crewman, you should do it well and learn as much as you can.”

He had always hoped his son would go work in construction, but as his son earned more and more money, his attitude had changed.

Since his son liked being a crewman, he might as well keep doing it.

”Don’t worry, Dad,” Sun Datao said with a smile on his face as he left the house.

...

At a spot along the coast of Coastal City, the many crew members were gathered.

”Boss.”

Seeing Li Yang, all the crew members called out.

”Mm,” Li Yang said, looking at the crowd. ”Prepare to set sail!”

Everyone boarded the ship, and the fishing boat pulled away from the coast, heading steadily toward the deep sea!

In the days that followed, Li Yang’s fishing boat continuously brought in hauls. Although they didn’t encounter anything that could surpass the large yellow croaker school from before, his savings still grew at an average rate of several million yuan per day!

Besides fishing, Li Yang was also constantly cultivating!

A week ago, he had already reached the third stage of the Body Refining Chapter. Now, a week later, he had completed a quarter of the third stage’s body tempering!

And now, he was steadily approaching the halfway mark!

Based on the information Li Yang had gathered, his current third stage of the Body Refining Chapter should be equivalent to the Earth-Level for a Cultivator.

And there weren’t many Earth-Level Cultivators, so of course, Li Yang hoped to become even stronger.

While he was cultivating, his octopus avatar’s power was also constantly improving. Another sign of its growing strength was its increasing size. The octopus avatar was now nearly eight meters long! It was like a newborn overlord of the ocean!

Just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye!

A week later, Qin Shanchuan finally called Li Yang. ”Xiaoyang, the news is out. The day after tomorrow in Jing City, two units of the Anticancer Agent will appear at a foundation, to be sold by auction.”

’It’s finally here!’ On the fishing boat, gusts of sea wind blew past as Li Yang took a deep breath, a glint in his eyes.

It was around eight or nine o’clock at night, and the sky was already dark, but the fishing boat was still moving, and the crew was still working.

”Head back!”

Without hesitation, Li Yang immediately ordered the crew to begin the return journey.

’If we head back now, we can probably sell the things on board for about a million. I’ll take a flight straight to Jing City tomorrow afternoon!’

In one week, Li Yang had earned another twenty million yuan. The money in his account had now reached one hundred forty million!

The last time, the two units of Anticancer Agent had sold for one hundred twenty million and one hundred thirty million, respectively, so his chances of winning an auction this time were high.

However, Li Yang still felt a slight sense of regret. No miracles had occurred this week, so it would be impossible for him to win both units of the Anticancer Agent.

Although he felt a pang of regret, Li Yang didn’t lose heart. He knew that the only thing he was short on right now was time.

...

Around three or four in the morning, the fishing boat finally neared the coastline. The crew handled all the cargo, and people from the hotels and restaurants came to haul it all away. Another million yuan was deposited into his account, and by then, it was already past five o’clock.

’Everything’s ready. Now I just have to wait for the two o’clock flight this afternoon.’ Li Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.

’By this time tomorrow, I’ll be in Jing City, and I’ll most likely have won the auction for the Anticancer Agent!’

The crew members all left, and soon only Li Yang was left, walking slowly by the sea.

’It’ll take an hour and a half at most to get to the airport. The flight is at two in the afternoon, and it’s only five in the morning now. I’ll go take another look, see if I can find anything else.’

After a moment of thought, he walked directly toward the bottom of the sea.

He had plenty of time. He might be able to find something else on the seabed to add to his wealth.

’Who knows what the final price of the Anticancer Agent will be? If I lose the auction because I’m short a few hundred thousand or a million, I’ll regret it forever.’

Maybe he could find something on the seabed again this time, something he could sell for a few hundred thousand.

As he thought this, Li Yang’s body was about to become fully submerged in the seawater.

Just then, Li Yang’s pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with utter shock.

SWOOSH!

His body shot backward, and he rapidly retreated from the ocean.
