[Shore gathering + System + fishing + giant catches + deep-sea exploration + easy path to prosperity]
After being laid off, Chen Yu returns to his seaside hometown.
His father is injured, the family is in debt, and their only old fishing boat is about to be repossessed.
Luckily, he accidentally binds himself to the Marine Encyclopedia System. Every time he successfully catches a new marine species, he receives a corresponding reward.
He digs up enough fat blue crabs to fill a bucket, packs a livewell with ornate spiny lobsters, hauls hundred-pound groupers onto the deck, and encounters schools of tuna, sunken ships, and giant deep-sea squid one after another...
Others rely on luck when they go out to sea. Chen Yu never comes back empty-handed.
He repairs his fishing boat, pays off the debts, buys a bigger vessel, and forms an offshore fleet. With the sea at his back, he leads his whole family to an increasingly prosperous life.
But the farther he sails, the stranger his catches become.
Until one day, he hauls up a bizarre fish from a trench, a species not mentioned in any records.
The System, silent for a long time, issues its first red alert:
[This species has not yet reached adulthood.]
[Leave these waters immediately!]
