"Lu Yao, there are crabs and octopuses over there. Do you want to catch some?" After filling half the basket with sea urchins, Du Qingmei's attention began to shift to other ingredients.
During the time that he became a manta ray, Du Qingmei acquired the fish instinct to prey on plankton and small fish and shrimp.
Every time, it basically relies on the two fins on its head to push fish and shrimp into its mouth and swallows them whole, without any taste.
It was a rare seafood buffet, but she couldn't enjoy it properly, which made her very depressed.
Now that she has the Furry Shop, she looks at the sea again and it feels like her own backyard farm. Her favorite foods are everywhere and she wants to bring them all back to the shop.
"Catch them if you want to eat them. I'll pick up trash for a while." Lu Yao felt that the sea urchins he had picked up were enough to eat, so he began to focus on picking up trash and didn't pay much attention to other aquatic creatures.
Beneath the seabed, there is a thick layer of plastic waste, mostly plastic bottles, disposable lunch boxes, juice boxes, and plastic bags.
They range from 5 to 20 grams each and are easy to collect.
As long as you keep picking up, your popularity will increase quickly.
The garbage picking task was easier than expected, and even a bit stress-relieving. Lu Yao wanted to accumulate enough popularity points to expand the fish tank as soon as possible.
The little devil fish jumped up and down near the coral reef walls. Due to the limitations of their bodies, it was difficult for them to catch the deep-sea long-legged octopus, which is good at camouflage, and the crabs waving their large claws, as they did with sea urchins.
"Lu Yao, I can't catch him, help me!" Du Qingmei asked for help.
After Lu Yao soaked in the sea water for a long time, he began to feel uncomfortable, especially his hands and feet, which became cold and slightly stiff.
It's time to go back.
She swam over to the little manta ray and tried to help catch crabs and octopuses.
The octopus is too flexible, has long and slippery legs, and runs very fast, so it is impossible to catch it.
Lu Yao quickly picked up a few crabs and threw them into the basket. "With so many sea urchins, that's enough. We can also stir-fry the crabs with some salted egg yolks. Let's come back next time."
When the person and the fish were returning, they finally found that they had swam near the autistic fish school.
Lu Yao couldn't help it and swam closer to observe.
Normal fish really don't want to get close to here, but when you look closer you will find that the fish school is huge in number and rich in species.
From a distance you can only see larger fish, such as white sharks, dolphins, seals, etc.
If you get closer, you will find many small species in the middle, such as octopus, jellyfish, shrimp, seahorse...
Without exception, they were all in a depressing backstroke state.
Lu Yao also discovered that almost all of them had an obvious wound on their bodies, the same as the bright red cross-shaped wound on Du Qingmei's abdomen.
She poked it with her finger, and the fish just followed the force and floated away, totally ignoring her.
Du Qingmei was craving for sea urchins and urged them, "They don't react, they just love to bask in the sun. Let's go back first and eat sea urchins."
Lu Yao's body had indeed reached its limit and he needed to get ashore quickly. Without staying any longer, he turned around and swam back.
Du Qingmei added: "It's a pity that we didn't catch the big octopus. I also love the iron plate octopus."
In the autistic school of fish, a mantis shrimp rolled its eyes, turned its body, and followed them silently.
Then, another anemone fish flapped its tail fin, turned over, and followed slowly.

Furry shop.
Ji Feiming sat cross-legged by the door, with the villains and sweet girls crawling all over him and meowing.
The owner had been out for a long time. He was very anxious and had no intention of playing with the cat. Only when he saw Lu Yao and the little manta ray swimming back from a distance did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Yao returned to the store, unloaded the machine, and felt exhausted all over. He lay on the white sand beach and didn't want to move.
"Why did it take so long?" Ji Feiming handed over a towel and glanced at the time. The owner had been in the sea for nearly two hours.
Lu Yao put on a towel and handed over the basket. "Catch some sea urchins and crabs. I'll cook them later."
Ji Feiming was speechless as he looked at the basket full of fresh sea urchins.
Du Qingmei entered the store and changed back into her human form. Her clothes and hair were dry. She picked up the fraud case as if she were in the store, and sat down on a low table by the window to take a rest.
Lu Yao went back to the bathroom to change out of his diving suit and take a shower.
-
Outside the store.
The colorful mantis shrimps circled anxiously.
Furry Shop, there is actually a shop that looks like a cat cafe here.
The people and manta rays who were picking up sea urchins in the sea just now all went in.
They picked up a lot of sea urchins and crabs, and discussed making fried crab with egg yolk. Would he, who had turned into an arthropod, also be eaten
Suddenly, the little shrimp appeared at the edge of the transparent membrane, as if it had discovered the mantis shrimp. Its dark eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, and it stretched out its claws to gently pull at the membrane. Its little mouth opened and closed, making it look silly and well-behaved.
The mantis shrimp's eyes suddenly stopped moving, and it slowly approached the membrane wall in fascination, staring at the adhesive tape through the air.
It’s really a kitten, or a kitten!!!
Its eyes are round and moist, and its orange fur is fluffy, so adorable!
The mantis shrimp carefully extended its large claws and aligned its claws with the adhesive tape.
This guy, Dai Jiaopai, was trained by the tiger cub to have a conditioned reflex. When he saw the paw reaching out, he would tilt his head to rub it.
Alas!!!
The mantis shrimp's other large claw flexed and extended rapidly, and it was so happy that it didn't know what to do!
The cutest furry thing in the world!!!
The mantis shrimp swam rapidly in circles on the spot, regained its composure after a moment, and met Dai Tape's blank eyes again, and made up its mind to go into the store to take a look.
He really wanted to hug this silly little thing.
The mantis shrimp swam to the door and knocked nervously and excitedly.
The door of the shop was opened from the inside, and he rushed in, passed through the transparent wall membrane, and landed on the white sand beach.
Chen Xingyu opened his eyes and was stunned.
He stood up quickly, with long arms and legs, wearing dark green velvet pajamas.
He turned back into a human!
Ji Feiming closed the door casually, trying not to look unusual.
Can all the fish in this sea turn into humans
The sea urchins and crabs that the shop owner brought back...
He suddenly had a very bad association.
Du Qingmei saw the bright green shrimp crashing into the door and turned into a 17 or 18-year-old boy in pajamas. She kindly walked over and pointed at the autistic fish outside the store, "Where did you come from?"
When Chen Xingyu saw her, his expression suddenly changed. After a while, he understood, "Are you the manta ray?"
Du Qingmei nodded, "In this shop, he will turn back into a human, and when he leaves, he will turn back into a fish."
Chen Xingyu: “So that’s how it is.”
After chatting with Du Qingmei for a few words and briefly exchanging names, Chen Xingyu couldn't wait to lower his head to look for the adhesive tape.
The little orange was like a fried potato, squatting in front of the transparent wall membrane, looking up to pursue the plankton in the water, and occasionally stretching out its claws to grab them.
Chen Xingyu's heart melted, and he walked over and squatted next to the adhesive tape.
Finding it too small, he simply sat down, hugged his legs and watched the tiny plankton that was too small to catch with it.
At this moment, he felt his restless mood gradually calm down.
Lu Yao came out of the shower and changed into clean clothes. He immediately noticed that there was a new customer in the store and his mood became very good.
Ji Feiming handed her a strange green paper and said, "This is the money paid by the young guest."
Lu Yao took it and observed that the green large-denomination banknote was completely different from the current RMB.
However, the system recognized that it was indeed the banknote of this world, with a face value of one thousand and a purchasing power equivalent to approximately five hundred RMB.
Paper money is of no use for now, but once the snack bar is upgraded, maybe we can go ashore and buy things then.
Lu Yao put away the banknotes, turned around and went to the kitchen, used magic to filter out the toxic substances in the sea urchins and crabs, then cleaned them and served them on a plate.
Sea urchin sashimi, raw fish slices and fried crab with egg yolk were served to the guests, and Lu Yao also made a portion of sashimi for Erxin.
Pengci, Daigaitai and Tianka are too young to be fed raw food for the time being. They can only watch their mom eat.
Du Qingmei heartbrokenly refused to act coquettishly, took the sashimi from Lu Yao's hand and began to feed him happily.
Lu Yao handed a seafood platter to Chen Xingyu, who was watching the sea with Dai Jiaota. Chen Xingyu thanked him, took it, and was not in a hurry to eat it.
But Daigaopao seemed to notice that he had food in his hand. He raised his round head, looked at him aggrievedly, and called out in a sweet voice: "Meow~~~"
Chen Xingyu resisted the urge to feed it, looked up at Lu Yao, and said in a trembling voice: "It's really cute, does it have a name?"
Lu Yao squatted down and gently stroked the little orange that had begun to claw at the guest's trouser legs, with a soft expression: "Its name is Dai Jiao Pad, it has a Buddhist personality, and its reactions are always a few beats slower than its brothers in the same litter."
Chen Xingyu nodded: "Yes, it moves very slowly."
For a cat, this kind of cuteness is just right.
But if a person is this slow and dull, it would be hard to be liked.
Lu Yao calmly replied, "Its hobbies are eating and sleeping. It eats the slowest and loves to sleep late, lazily staring blankly all day. It's not as good at fighting as it is at making trouble for money, and not as good at being a spoiled child as it is at being sweet, but this guy is the most popular in the store, and has unknowingly won the love of humans."
Chen Xingyu's expression changed slightly: "Cats are different from humans. As long as they are cute, they will be favored by humans."
Lu Yao looked at him strangely. "When it comes to cuteness, Pengci and Tianka are no less cute than Daigaitai. He eats slowly, but always licks the bowl clean in the end. He is very particular about where to sleep in. He likes to lie by the window holding a small flower pot to bask in the sun. When you see him, you will feel that he seems to be very stupid, but he is also very clever in his stupidity."
Chen Xingyu was slightly stunned and suddenly wanted to laugh. The little oranges described by the shop owner were too cute.
And just now, he actually felt competitive with a little orange cat.
Wake up, isn't it natural that cats are cuter than humans
He slowly ate a plate of seafood, and then took a casual nap with Dai Jiaopai, feeling extremely relaxed.
Standing in front of the store, he turned around and said goodbye to Dai Jiao Pai: "I'll come to take a nap with you next time."
The shop door opened and closed, and the figure of the boy in pajamas disappeared.
Lu Yao slowly turned his head and looked at Du Qingmei, "Did you see that the world outside the door just now didn't seem to be the sea?"
