Back to 1979: Foraging by the Sea and Eating Like Kings from the Start

In his previous life, Huo Tinglan was a thoroughly worthless hoodlum.

His overworked wife passed away, leaving behind their two-and-a-half-year-old twin daughters and three young sisters-in-law with no one to rely on.

Because of his gambling and cowardice, all five girls met miserable, untimely deaths, becoming a nightmare he could never escape for the rest of his life.

When he opened his eyes again, Huo Tinglan found himself back in 1979, in a remote fishing village.

Looking at the five little girls, gaunt and timidly watching him, he swore that in this life he would spoil them rotten.

From the start, he awakened the “Eye of the Azure Sea.” To him, the depths of the ocean, ten thousand meters below the surface, were like his own backyard.

While others were delighted to pick up a few scrappy fish and shrimp in the shallows, he was already hunting premium bluefin tuna in the deep sea atop a tamed great white shark.

While others worried about scraping together a pound of cornmeal, he led a whole pack of giant sea creatures in salvaging tons of gold and priceless antiques from sunken ships.

As the villagers struggled to get enough to eat, the aroma of top-quality seafood wafting from Huo Tinglan's courtyard had the whole coastline drooling.

Looking at the five little girls, now plump and rosy-cheeked in pretty dresses, Huo Tinglan smiled. His trillion-yuan business empire was only just setting sail.
