I Can Turn into a Fish

“Lay them out on the deck and let them dry!”

Three hours later, the sea cucumbers filled the entire deck of the Merman; Chu Xian even threw away all the fish they had caught with the seine method to open up space to store the cucumbers.

The numberless sea cucumbers, each forty or fifty centimeters in length, dotted the deck, and this was the result of some selection. Chu Xian had left behind all the twenty and thirty-centimeter cucumbers; if they took them all, they would need seven or eight ships to transport their finds.

“I thought that I had stumbled upon good fortune when I found the red coral, but who knew that I would find this sea cucumber mountain?!”

Chu Xian was excited. There were at least five to six tons of sea cucumber on the ship. The quality of their finds didn’t have a fixed market price, but it would all total out to at least fifty or sixty million RMB—definitely a larger haul than the red coral. And of course, the most important fact was that he hadn’t even finished harvesting the mountain.

“My greatest gain this time was this sea cucumber mountain, but I still need to find seven more mermen. We just need seven large fierce fish, but even if I can’t find them all, I still need to return in two days.” Chu Xian thought quietly.

The trip had already lasted four days, and there were more than thirty large fish as backup mermen candidates. His trip had already met his goal and had even exceeded his expectations.

A single trip had made him more than a hundred million RMB! Who else could do this? If news of this got out, numberless people would have red eyes.

“Keep sailing. Only pay attention to the large fish and disregard everything else!” Chu Xian called out to Old Mu.

The best find would be a swordfish or sailfish; these fish were large and fierce and even came with long and sharp swords—the best specimen to mold into fighting mermen.

“How fast!” Chu Xian was lying back on his chair, casually monitoring the area when he suddenly detected seven or eight large fish flashing into view. “What a pity; I can’t even see what kind of fish they are!”

“Eh? They’re coming in this direction!” To Chu Xian’s surprise, the seven or eight fish appeared again a few minutes later, this time coming straight at the ship.

“They’re going to hit us!” Chu Xian immediately stood up, his expression one of pleasant surprise. He turned towards the fish and examined them in his mind.

Their speed was incredibly fast as they dashed along near the sea’s surface, and their strong and sharp appendages jutted forward like sharp swords. Chu Xian thought at first that this was a group of swordfish, but after getting a better picture of their body size, he realized this was a group of marlin!

Marlin, sailfish, and swordfish all had sharp and long organs, lending them a dangerous look.

But the marlin was the fastest of the group and was also the fastest fish in the sea.

“We can’t let them get away!” Chu Xian stared into the distance as he calculated the route and controlled the tunas to wait to the side.

“Here they come!” Chu Xian transformed into a fish and quickly darted towards the seven or eight marlin while having thirty or so tuna surrounding them at the same time.

The swimming marlin were stunned but they didn’t slow down, dashing straight forward at nearly a hundred kilometers per hour.

“Rule!” Chu Xian called out. Immediately, he felt a strong resistance.

“You can’t escape!” Chu Xian laughed, and thirty-plus tunas immediately boxed the fish in while he stood in the back like a king of the sea.

“Pu pu pu!” To Chu Xian’s astonishment, the seven or eight marlin directly attacked the tuna.

The sharp swords stabbed the tunas, piercing their bodies and meeting almost no resistance as they penetrated through the other side.

“Marlin are so terrifying!” Chu Xian was surprised. The speed of the marlin had reached almost a hundred kilometers per hour, and although his rule limited their power, they still stabbed straight through the tunas’ bodies.

In the first instance, eight tunas were stabbed and died instantly.

But the deaths of the tunas dragged down the struggling marlins, successfully slowing them and allowing Chu Xian to rush forward.

“Hu! Success!” Chu Xian smiled, using his hands to drag the tunas off the marlin’s swords and controlling the marlins to swim towards the ship.

“Kill all the bigeye tunas!” Chu Xian called out to Old Huang and the others when he returned to deck.

With these marlins, the tunas were no longer useful, and since he couldn’t raise them, he had to kill them.

Chu Xian boarded the ship, dragging the marlins onboard one after the other.

The eight marlin were huge, with the lightest one already two hundred catties. One of the marlin had broken his appendage while attacking the tunas and looked to be in the throes of death.

But seven was enough!

Chu Xian dragged them all into the cabin. To prevent them from dying, he remolded all seven at the same time.

On the Mermaid, Sword One and Sword Two and the others placed the processed bigeye tunas in the storage cabin and returned to processing the sea cucumbers.

Old Mu charted out the shortest route and sailed back towards Hai Qing City.

The sky gradually darkened.

Three hours later, Chu Xian let out a breath and looked at the merman in front of him with a small smile on his face.

Another group of seven large men. With their bodyweights, each of them could definitely fight ten men.

“Old Huang, you’re in charge of the nine new mermen. Get them acclimated as soon as possible!” Chu Xian walked out of the cabin, looked up at the dark sky and called out to Old Huang.

“Yes!” Old Huang nodded.

“En!” Chu Xian lay down on his chair and Old Huang immediately came up with food. “Where are we now?”

“We’re still in international waters and will reach the Hai Qing harbor in about twenty hours,” Old Huang answered respectfully.

“Still in international waters?” Chu Xian said with some surprise. They should’ve already left the international seas by now.

“Yes!” Old Huang nodded. “Old Mu plotted the shortest route, so we’re temporarily cutting through international waters!”

“Oh!” Chu Xian nodded and sat down to eat his sea cucumbers.

Sea cucumber soup and stir-fried sea cucumber with green onion – the taste was alright.

In fact, many expensive ingredients weren’t all that tasty, but very nutritious.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Suddenly, a mess of noise sounded from the near distance.

Chu Xian squinted and looked into the distance. A group of lights had appeared on the starboard side, and in the distance were many cruise ships.

But it wasn’t the cruise ships making the loud noise; it was the three fishing ships beside them and the group of fish in the water.

Chu Xian used his ability to check out the fish and froze, his expression turning cold.

“Dolphins!”
