X-Ray Vision and Tidal Flat Foraging in the 1980s: A Million a Day

The day Qin Yi returns to his village after leaving the army, the village Party secretary tries to seize his homestead to build a house.

In his previous life, Qin Yi simply left in disgrace and drifted from place to place for half his life.

But just before he died, he saw on TV that foreign investors had developed his hometown’s coastline into a tourist island worth hundreds of billions, with all the profits going to the very people who had driven him away.

Reborn, he returns to the summer of 1980, a time full of wild possibilities and opportunity.

To his astonishment, Qin Yi discovers that he has gained X-ray vision!

In his eyes, the murky seawater is crystal clear.

Premium green crabs beneath the sand, giant wild abalone nestled in reef crevices, schools of hundred-jin yellow croaker swimming through the deep.

Even priceless treasures in sunken ships on the ocean floor all shine with dazzling golden light!

“Since you won’t leave me a way to survive, I’ll claim this entire sea!”

Starting with a pair of clam-digging tongs and a rickety wooden boat, Qin Yi hauls in premium seafood by the boatload, builds a cold-chain network, develops specialty aquaculture, and assembles a steel ocean-going fleet!

Ten years later, when foreign financial magnates try to stake a claim to these waters, they’re horrified to discover that an unshakable global seafood empire has already risen here!

And the young fisherman from the village, who once had nothing, has become the sea godfather ruling the seven seas!
