Yanghaishi is hosting the largest livestreamed beachcombing competition ever.
The prizes are generous, and first place will take home 50,000 yuan.
Lin Yu signed up without a second thought. After all, there's no reason to turn down money.
He glanced at the crowded shoreline and didn't think much of it. With all his years of beachcombing experience, winning first place should be a breeze.
But he seriously underestimated everyone else. The competition had barely begun when his nemesis pulled ahead by a huge margin.
Viewers started making fun of him.
[What is he doing? Taking a stroll?]
[Pick something up already!!! You're handsome, sure, but we're not here to look at your face.]
[This beachcomber is so clumsy. I'm worried he'll starve to death.]
After wandering along the shore for ages without finding anything, Lin Yu stumbled across a crab burrowing in the sand.
He'd never seen this kind of crab before and didn't know what species it was. Its white shell looked like a crystal crab's, but its pincers were patterned with blue and black.
He tapped it with his little shovel.
He took the crab home, but didn't dare cook it in case it was poisonous.
After looking after the crab with great care for about a month, his crab started talking!!!
"Ugh, this shrimp tastes awful. Don't you have any imported ones?"
Lin Yu: "What on earth are you?"
"A perfectly normal crab."
What kind of perfectly normal crab can talk???
The second beachcombing competition is about to begin.
Xie Yuan lounges in his private aquarium, waving his huge pincers as he lays down the law. "Take me with you, and I guarantee you'll win!"
Lin Yu: I don't believe you!
Xie Yuan: "I have a strict professional code. With one command from me, every crab, sea snail, and moray eel will submit at your feet. Just get me a meal of imported shrimp afterward."
Lin Yu thinks Xie Yuan is bluffing, but on the day of the competition, something strange happens.
Hundreds of crabs line up neatly at Lin Yu's feet, waiting to be caught.
[??? Lin Yu can summon crabs now?]
[Who exactly is Lin Yu?]
Lin Yu, completely baffled: I'm exhausted. I accidentally picked up the ancestor of all crabs.
*
The first time Xie Yuan comes ashore, he's just about to burrow into the sand when an iron shovel pokes him in the butt!!!
Who has no manners? Can't you see I'm busy here?
Later, the man who poked him in the butt takes him home. Three meals a day, and shrimp at every meal.
To get back at Lin Yu, Xie Yuan eats and eats, determined to eat him into bankruptcy.
A whole box of shrimp.
Xie Yuan: I can't finish it. There's no way I can finish it!
At last.
The day he's been waiting for arrives: he can finally take human form.
To get revenge on Lin Yu for taking him home, he pins the man beneath him and has his way with him.
Afterward, Lin Yu tenderly kisses the markings on his forearm.
Xie Yuan: Hey, hey, hey! I'm supposed to be getting revenge on you. Why are you enjoying this so much???
A hot-tempered crab spirit with a body that's hard all over, seme x an adorable, soft and easy-to-top beachcombing king, uke.
