Chapter 26: The Water's Clarity Surpasses the World's Finest!

Chu Lin understood the look in Cai Yao’s eyes and, smiling, said, “President Cai thinks I’m joking? These oysters, like the prawns before, are rather special—they’re cultivated through a secret method!”

Now, Cai Yao’s interest was truly piqued. “President Chu, I’d appreciate it if you’d explain. After all, oysters with a wholesale price of two hundred each—there’s nowhere in Min City that’s seen oysters this expensive!”

Chu Lin pointed at the bag of oysters. “These oysters are for Zhizhen’s experiment. President Cai, you might want to have a few gentlemen try them, preferably in the evening, and it would be best if they have girlfriends.”

“President Chu, could you be a little more specific?” Cai Yao was a bit confused.

Why only men, at night, and with girlfriends? Why did she sense a faint hint of embarrassment in this suggestion?

Chu Lin saw that she still hadn’t caught on and prompted her further: “President Cai, oysters are known as a man’s gas station—very nourishing for men.”

“???” Now Cai Yao understood. She looked at Chu Lin in surprise. “Do these oysters really have that effect?”

The saying “oysters are a man’s gas station and a woman’s beauty salon” had been spread everywhere, but the effect was nonexistent—pure hype. After all, Zhizhen itself sold oysters; she knew them inside and out.

Chu Lin smiled and pointed to himself. “I’ve experienced it personally. Moreover, after eating these oysters, both men and women will be happy at night. Two hundred apiece is absolutely worth it.”

At these words, Cai Yao spat lightly.

She naturally understood what “personal experience” and “both men and women will be happy” implied. Since he’d said as much, it meant these oysters truly had that effect.

If that were the case, these oysters could absolutely become another star dish at Zhizhen.

“President Cai, then I’ll leave these oysters with you. Try them tonight, and we’ll talk again tomorrow!” Chu Lin had no doubts about the oysters’ effects. He was sure that by tomorrow, this heiress of Zhizhen would be eager to seek him out.

Sure enough, after he left, Cai Yao immediately picked up her phone and made a call.

After leaving Zhizhen Restaurant, Chu Lin returned to the farm and made himself an Atlantis sea cucumber for lunch.

He’d been eating one every day lately and had indeed noticed his condition improving.

That was the “constitution +1” effect.

After all, when your constitution improves, every aspect of your state does too.

In the afternoon, he walked over to the newly contracted five-hundred-acre bay shoal to check on things.

With the properties of the Atlantis Blessing Stone, the entire sea was as clear as glass. He gazed beneath the surface and saw wild fish and shrimp swimming about.

There were already quite a few of them.

After he’d opened a gap in the isolation net, it was clear that many fish had been attracted.

Other people could fish by the bay for half a day without catching anything; he, however, did nothing, and the wild fish came in on their own.

Moreover, with the ongoing purification from the Atlantis Blessing Stone, he could now clearly see the rocks at the bottom of the bay, even the crabs crawling along, with no hint of turbidity.

Such clarity—could even the world’s clearest Sargasso Sea compare?

Clearly, the effect of the Atlantis Blessing Stone exceeded his expectations. The actual farm was limiting its true power.

Overwhelmed by the water quality, Chu Lin couldn’t resist taking out his phone to record a video.

Even in the phone video, the clarity remained unchanged; swimming fish and crawling crabs at the bottom were all captured perfectly.

It was simply incredible.

He immediately posted the video to his social media.

Within moments, likes and comments poured in:

“Damn, Chu Lin, where are you playing? This seawater is insanely clear.” —Huang Bin.

“I’m at my farm,” Chu Lin replied.

“You think I’m a fool? If there’s such a clear spot in Min City, I’ll take your surname,” Huang Bin shot back.

“Took a screenshot!” Chu Lin added a teasing emoji.

The next moment, Chu Lin’s WeChat rang—it was a video call from Huang Bin.

Chu Lin laughed and answered.

As soon as he saw Huang Bin on the other end, he greeted him with a grin: “Chu Bin, remember to go to the police station tomorrow and change your surname on your ID.”

“So you really are at your shrimp farm!” Huang Bin, seeing the background in the video, asked, “Be honest, where did you steal this video from?”

Suddenly, he realized.

That was the only possibility.

How could Min City’s seawater ever be this clear?

At that moment, Chu Lin turned the camera toward the five-hundred-acre bay. The screen filled with water of unmatched clarity, and even through the video, after a while, fish and shrimp could still be seen swimming within.

“Damn… how is this possible?” Huang Bin blurted out, his eyes full of disbelief as he looked at the scene on screen.

It really was Chu Lin’s shrimp farm.

But he knew what those five hundred acres of bay shoal were like—just as turbid as any other in Min City. It was never like this.

“Spent money on restoration—what do you think?” Chu Lin lied offhandedly.

Huang Bin was taken aback. How much money would it take to get the water quality like this?

Chu Lin must have really struck it rich.

He had no idea where Chu Lin’s initial capital came from.

Huang Bin knew Chu Lin’s past, but as a brother, he had no intention of prying—it would be rude, and he’d rather remain friends.

“Why are you suddenly shouting, Huang Bin?” a woman’s voice sounded.

Chu Lin saw Lin Nian appear next to Huang Bin. The surrounding environment was clearly a hotel.

So they had gone on a trip.

Lin Nian glanced at the video, her face full of amazement. “Huang Bin, where is this? The seawater’s too clear! I’ve traveled all of China’s coast—*Ya’s clearest sea area isn’t even close.”

“A friend’s playing abroad, sent me a video!” Huang Bin fibbed, not wanting to reveal to Lin Nian that it was Chu Lin’s farm, lest she ask to visit.

He knew Chu Lin wasn’t fond of Lin Nian and didn’t want to make things awkward for his friend.

“No wonder, I’ve never seen such clarity domestically,” Lin Nian said, then suddenly added, “Huang Bin, Shen Lu wants to add Chu Lin’s contact. Can you share his WeChat with her?”

“Chu Lin’s WeChat can’t be added directly; he has to add people himself,” Huang Bin replied, then teased, “What, she wants another round with Chu Lin?”

As he said this, he was just curious when Chu Lin had turned into such a player.

He’d slept with her but wouldn’t even add her on WeChat.

Unbelievable.

… Chu Lin shook his head as he listened to them and hung up the call.

Although Shen Lu was attractive, with an impressive figure and that extra bonus upfront, he had no intention of keeping in touch with girls like her or Lin Nian.

Besides, he had a new target now. The beautiful Porsche saleswoman was even more stunning than Shen Lu, her figure equally alluring, with top-notch bonus points.

Moreover, from his experience, he could tell Li Qian wasn’t the type to fool around—at least, she hadn’t yet been tempted by certain things.

Not long after, he received a message from the saleswoman: “Mr. Chu, I’ve got your license plate. When I get off work, let me treat you to dinner. I’ll call you then.”

Attached was a photo of the license plate.

Min*●Fc888!

Sure enough, a little panther number, and he liked the digits. The money was well spent.

“OK,” Chu Lin replied with a smile.

It seemed he wasn’t the only one interested in her—the saleswoman herself was showing obvious signs of interest.

Indeed, it’s not just men who like beautiful, well-built women; women, in turn, appreciate handsome, capable men.

Such things are always mutual!

Time passed, and soon the sun was setting.

Since he had an appointment, Chu Lin took a shower and changed his clothes.

After some thought, he also logged into the game to take out two Atlantis oysters.

Whether or not he’d need them that night, it was always better to be prepared.

Soon, Li Qian called: “President Chu, I’m almost off work. You can come over now.”

“Okay,” Chu Lin replied cheerfully, then drove out from the shrimp farm, heading straight to the Porsche dealership.

As he parked and headed in, the conversation between two employees catching off work drew his attention.

“Li Qian looks especially beautiful today!”

“Yeah, but she’s way too hard to ask out. Not just us coworkers—even some tycoon who ordered two cars couldn’t get her to dinner.”

“He’s just a nouveau riche, never seen the world, probably picked up a few lines about buying cars online. The commission on two cars isn’t much.”

“To be honest, Li Qian acts too aloof. Who’s she putting on airs for?”

Chu Lin was surprised.

Li Qian, hard to ask out?

He hadn’t felt that way.

She’d even taken the initiative to invite him.

Aloof?

He hadn’t noticed that at all—she’d been perfectly gentle.

Still, hearing them say she’d dressed up especially beautifully today, he felt a twinge of anticipation.

He entered the dealership’s main hall. Most people were already off duty, but he immediately spotted Li Qian in the lounge, sipping a takeout coffee.

She was impossible to miss, and now he understood what those two coworkers meant by “especially beautiful.”

Li Qian’s long hair had been carefully styled, her taupe dress perfectly outlining her figure—not only revealing her fair arms, but though her neck and chest were covered, the dress somehow managed to show just enough temptation to highlight her assets.

And those long, shapely legs.

This must be the very embodiment of the pure-yet-seductive look.
