Chapter 1: Reparing a Fish

New site and new novels! Hurray! (I'm killing myself with this load, help!)

The seawater gently rippled around, the blue waves flickered, and colorful fishes swim leisurely by the sea, the whole world is like a silent symphony, beautiful and quiet, making people feel comfortable.

At this time, a dolphin suddenly galloped past the waters, with a clatter, it jumped out of the sea, bringing a wave of waves...

Yu You opened her eyes and lay wet on the bed, staring at the ceiling quietly, the sound of the waves could be vaguely heard in her ears.

Since she woke up from the sea clan at the age of 10, she often see the sea in her dreams, and every time she woke up, she was wet. In order to avoid always changing the sheets and bedding, she now sleeps on inflatable swimming beds.

Yu You turned over from the swimming bed, went into the bathroom to rinse, put on a set of loose casual clothes, picked up a tie, tied her long hair with a bit of moisture behind her at will, and put on glasses. Under the lenses. she has a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes.

Yu You isn't short-sighted, but after awakening the sea clan bloodline, her pupils have changed, and her vision on land and underwater are completely different.

Packing herself up, Yu You walked out of the room, went downstairs to her small shop, and was ready to open it for business.

She opened an electrical appliance repair shop near the largest market in City A. Its main business includes technology products such as computers, mobile phones, home appliances, and digital products, as well as second-hand electrical appliance recycling.

Her maintenance skills aren't bad, but the location of the store isn't good, her income is bleak, and she's in a state of loss all the year-round.

Despite this, she still has no plan on closing the store, mainly because this store is the inheritance left to her by her adoptive parents, and on the other hand, it's because she herself is also very interested in technology products, and finally because of her sea ethnic identity.

For the awakened Yu You, the ocean has almost become a part of her body. The ebb and flow of tides, the movement of ocean currents, the density, temperature and pressure, and the reproduction of various marine creatures are all in her mind.

"Ah, great, there is a repair shop here... Laoyu electrical repair shop? The name is really strange." As a clear voice sounded, a young man and woman soon appeared at the door.

After stepping into the store, a brief stunned expression appeared on the faces of the two of them. It was obviously an electrical repair shop, but the scene inside the shop made them think they had entered the wrong place.

In the space of more than 90 square meters, dozens of fish tanks, large and small, are neatly placed on the left and right sides. There are many ornamental fishes in the fish tanks, with a wide variety and color, which makes people dizzy.

"Ah, what kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful." The girl approached a fish tank, looked at a yellow-backed blue-tailed fish, and said her boyfriend excitedly.

"If you like it, we can buy one and go back to raise it." The young man said casually.

The girl was moved, turned her head, and asked Yu You behind the counter: "Boss, what kind of fish is this, and how much do you sell it?"

Yu You looked at the fish and replied, "This is a half-black guppy, not for sale."

"Ah, why?" The girl looked puzzled.

"This is a repair shop, not an aquarium." Yu You said softly, "If you want to buy an ornamental fish, you can go to the market 50 meters away here."

"Uh..." Only then did the girl realize that she came here to repair her phone, not to buy fish.

"I'm sorry, boss. Please help me check my phone."

The girl walked to the counter and handed the mobile phone to Yu You. She then looked at the items in the glass counter that includes mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, and various small accessories.

On the shelves behind the counter, there were also rice cookers and induction cookers, hairdryers and other small household appliances, and remote control toys of various shapes. Ignoring the fish tanks on both sides, it's indeed a decent repair shop.

"There's nothing wrong with your phone, it's just that it got in some water." Yu You quickly solved the problem and handed the phone back to her.

"Thank you, how much?" The girl swayed a few times, and she returned to normal.

"No, you don't need to pay for such a small problem."

The girl looked at Yu You unexpectedly, it was the first time she met such a kind boss. If she was to go to another repair shop, even if her phone has no problem, their starting price is over 50 yuan.

"Then thank you, boss." The girl wasn't pretentious, she thanked Yu You sweetly, and then looked at the half-black guppy fish, "Boss, do you really not sell your ornamental fish?"

"No." In fact, it's not that Yu You don't want to sell it, but the aura of the guppy fish and this girl are at odds.

The ornamental fishes in Yu You's repair store are all old, weak, sick, and disabled bought from other places. After her conditioning, most of them have recovered. She doesn't sell the fishes unless they've found a buyer themselves and want to live with them.

"What a pity." The girl put away her phone and left the store with her boyfriend in disappointment.

After going out, the young man smiled and said, "If you really like it, I will take you to the Fish Market."

The girl thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, I just want to buy it on a whim. If I really buy it back, I might raise it to death in a few days."

"Alright then, let's go shopping over there." The young man didn't insist and took her to the other side of the street.

The appearance and departure of the two did not have any effect on Yu You. She sat at the counter and concentrated on studying the circuit diagram while practicing the disassembly and assembly of spare parts. Her slender fingers shuttle back and forth among various parts, flexibly and quickly splitting and combining things.

This is her daily essential homework. Since Yu You decided to take the technical stream route, she has taken relevant subjects and collected many professional books. It took her a few years to become a technical maintenance technician. Her basic knowledge is very solid, but more advanced skills can't be learned casually. She can only find inspiration from various technological products.

While studying, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

Yu You took out her phone. Her phone has a very special shape. The sides of the fuselage are slightly curved, and the case has a green patch pattern, which looks like a turtle with its head and tail shrunk.

The screen lock automatically opened, and the Gaode map(T/N: like google map) jumps out immediately. The positioning sign is shining, and there's a text box next to it: [There is a fish here.]

Yu You asked casually, "What fish?"

The screen of the mobile phone changed suddenly, from the Gaode map to a picture from Baidu(T/N: Like a Chinese Google Version): [Clownfish, adult, critically ill and weak.]

"Understood." Yu You picked up her mobile phone, hung up the closing sign of business, and drove her electric car towards her destination.

[Turn right 200 meters ahead.]

Yu You followed the navigation all the way to the vicinity of Chengnan Vegetable Market and stopped at the entrance of an old aquarium shop.

Putting away her phone, Yu You walked into the store and looked at the surrounding environment. There are more than 20 aquariums, the materials are ordinary, and the water quality is also very ordinary. Most of the ornamental fishes are in a sub-health state. Fortunately, the situation is not serious, as long as they(owner) take care of it properly, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Yu You finally looked at the small fish tank in the corner, where a clownfish was kept alone, and it was the golden-red one she was looking for.

"Beauty, what kind of fish do you like? Just take a look. We have a wide range of ornamental fishes at affordable prices." The middle-aged and fat shop owner greeted her with a smile.

Yu You turned a deaf ear to his words, leaned over to the fish tank, and carefully examined the critically ill golden-red clownfish. There were light-colored lumpy cloud spots on its skin, with cracks and slightly protruding eyes, which were signs of tuberculosis. Its condition is more serious. In the case of acute tuberculosis, the fish will die within a day or two, and it might be contagious.

"Boss, how much do you sell this fish?" Yu You asked, pointing to the clownfish in the tank.

The boss first glanced at the clownfish suspiciously and then smiled: "Beauty, I won't lie to you, this clownfish is sick, if you sincerely want to buy it, then take it for 39 yuan. I will give it to you and 2 capsules of chloramphenicol separately, you can go back and take good care of it, it will recover soon."

Yu You listened to him. A healthy clownfish is only 50 yuan, and for a critically ill clownfish, he even dares to ask for it for 39 yuan?

"5 yuan." Yu You didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and directly quoted.

"Five yuan?" The boss looked incredulous, "This is a gold rosy clownfish, not with ordinary artificial black borders. You can only buy a goldfish with five yuan."

"It's got tuberculosis, and I'm afraid it won't survive. In a few days, you can only throw it away."

As soon as the boss heard it, he knew that he had run into an expert, so he didn't dare to quibble anymore: "Since you know, why do you still want to buy it?"

"Buy it back to make a specimen." Yu You gave a casual explanation.

"Okay, you can take it for 5 yuan." The boss waved his hand sullenly.

Five minutes later, Yu You walked out of the store carrying the plastic bag containing the clownfish, she carefully put it in the trunk of the car, and then stepped on the electric car and returned to her old repair shop.

This clownfish is indeed terminally ill, and Yu You's ability can't cure it, at most, it can only ease its pain.

Stretching her hand into the water tank, the clownfish rubbed her affectionately.

Yu You asked, "Do you want to go back to the sea, or stay here?"

The clownfish swam around her fingers a few times, and a few bubbles came out of its mouth.

"Okay, stay then." Yu You glanced around the store, and finally locked on a second-hand iPad. She takes the iPad out and placed it in front of the fish tank, "Do you like this look?"

The clownfish has no aesthetic at all, what Yu You choose is what it chooses.

Yu You smiled, holding the iPad in one hand and wrapping the clownfish in the other. After a while, the clownfish slowly floated to the surface and disappeared without a trace.

After that, the iPad with an original silver-white shell, suddenly turned into a strange color of red in gold, the screen also automatically lighted up, and all the software apps were opened in sequence as if they had been infected with a virus.

"Grandpa Turtle, it's up to you to train it." Yu You put her turtle shell phone next to the iPad.

The phone screen automatically lights up, is connected to the iPad, and starts data transfer.

There are two screens, one big and one small. One is teaching and one is learning, and various operations are played one by one.

"Grandpa Turtle, can you give it a name?" Yu You took the time to say. An electronic dictionary popped up on the screen of the mobile phone, and a word was randomly generated: [Afraid]

The clownfish is named Afraid (iPad).
