Tidepooling: Eighteen Years of Bad Luck, Then I Awakened a Good Luck System

In 1982, in Shawi Village, the Jiang family patriarch had just been buried when three uncles and aunts-in-law blocked the door to divide up the family property.

Jiang Dayong had been a good-natured man all his life, spending his entire life's savings on his younger brothers. In the end, all he got was a leaky thatched hut, a barren, muddy stretch of wasteland, and fifty yuan in debt forced onto his shoulders.

Eighteen-year-old Jiang Chen was so furious his fingertips trembled. On the very day he came of age, he awakened the Tidal Foraging System, which gave him ten times the usual drop rate and made rare seafood easy to find.

He dug a giant clam and wild sea cucumbers out of the muddy flats, then earned back half a month's work points for his father on his very first trip to sea.

The second aunt who threw tantrums to extort money, the third uncle who stole from his beach, the fourth uncle who sabotaged him in secret: he faced them one by one and served up one face-slapping comeback after another.

From struggling to pay off debts to buying a boat and building a house, Jiang Chen led his whole family out of the mud and into a life more prosperous than anyone else's.
