Yu You's daily life is to disassemble and assemble various technology products in the store. Her Grandfather turtle's mobile phone will occasionally search for nearby sick or dying marine creatures, and then she'll buy these marine creatures back. She either keep them in the store or releases them. If they can't be cured, she'll let them choose between becoming-animal spirits or returning their souls to the sea.

Grandpa Turtle was originally a wild sea turtle that lived for 800 years. Later, he was caught by fishermen and almost became their meal. In the middle of the cooking, Yu You bought it for 1,000 yuan. Unfortunately, its carapace has been destroyed and can't live long. After obtaining its consent, Yu You integrated its spirituality into her mobile phone.

This is one of the abilities of the sea clan people, the fusion of matter and spirit. The spirits of sea creatures can be incorporated into any item so that the item has special life attributes.

Yu You can only control marine creatures and has a certain affinity for freshwater fishes, but birds and beasts are not within her range.

One day without any incident, Yu You closed the store, ate, took a bath, then lay on the bed, logged on Weibo, and shared her baby fishes.

[Aquarium Owner: Today, let’s take a look at the two blue devils of the owner(pictures in translator's notes). The female blue devil has a blue body, and the male blue devil has an orange tail. This fish is known as the Immortal, very suitable for novice breeding, have a beautiful appearance, lively and lovely. (video)]

In the video, two blue devils swim happily in the water, when a shrimp was suddenly thrown in, the blue devils hide behind the reef, and the water blue on their body suddenly turns dark blue, almost merging with the reef projection.

After confirming that the shrimp was not a danger to them, they swam out again cautiously, returning to the shiny blue water, and from time to time they ran to harass the shrimp and were slapped by it.

[Civets: Aquarium Owner, why did you put the shrimp with these harassers?]

[Xiaoyu who likes to eat rice: It's also a blue devil, but why do I always think that the blue devil of the aquarium owner is extraordinarily smart? My blue devil is always expressionless.]

[Dear, I have: @Xiaoyu who likes to eat rice//Do you have any misunderstandings about being smart? Is it smart to send it up and be slapped by the shrimp in the face? ? ?]

[My brother's tail will be discharged: @Xiaoyu who likes to eat rice//Which fish is not expressionless? You can find me a fish with rich expressions to see!]

[Passers-by who is not a cannon fodder: Dolphins.]

[My brother's tail will be discharged: @Passers-by who is not a cannon fodder//You should be a cannon fodder quietly, Are dolphins even fish?]

[Aquarium Owner: Actually, there are really expressive fishes (Photo: In TL notes).

The stingray on the picture showed a shocked face of AIA's astonishment, which stunned the netizens, followed by a message of "hahahaha".

Yu You's Weibo has been open for 6 years. Every day, she publishes some of her fish daily life and fish raising experience, and slowly accumulated tens of thousands of fans. There are always netizens asking her if she owns an aquarium shop and expressing that they wants to buy fishes from her, but she refuses all of them.

In other stores, customers choose the fish, but here, she chooses the customers.

Unlike pets such as cats and dogs, fishes can't interact closely with their owners. They mainly attract attention by their appearance. Most of them have low IQs. They are quiet, elegant, beautiful, and cute. Taking care of them is like taking care of babies.

But relatively, fishes are also the pets with the highest mortality rate. Their prices are generally not high. Fish lovers often buy dozens of them at one time. During the breeding process, they will get sick and die if the owners are careless.

In the surrounding area where Yu You lives alone, she has treated more than 10,000 ornamental fishes over the years.

Life is fragile, yet extremely tenacious.

Because of the increasingly difficult living environment in modern society, Yu You decided to find another way, using her ability to integrate things and spirits, so that the fishes can gradually familiarize themselves with the high technology of human beings, improve their intelligence, and let them evolve slowly and become a mutual aid with human beings. Coexisting as another intelligent species.

Of course, her ideas are plump, but the reality is skinny. Yu You's early goal was just to help the dying baby fishes find a new survival carrier.

Lying on the swimming bed, Yu You entered the sea in her dream again and swam leisurely with the fishes. The ocean at night is dark and quiet, but in her eyes, it's still colorful and full of vitality.

The seawater is her wings, the fishes are her subjects, and the entire ocean is her territory, and she can cruise here freely.

Her figure swept across a reef like an arrow, bringing up a piece of bubbles.

Behind the reef she hadn't noticed, a figure slowly emerged. He was wearing a diving suit, diving goggles, and an underwater camera in his hand.

He raised the camera and pointed it in Yu You's direction.

Yu You hovered in the water, her long hair fluttering in all directions, and when she looked back, a small fish came over and tapped on the tip of her nose.

The camera accurately captured this scene. The water, light, shadow, people, and fish are all integrated into the picture, revealing an indescribable beauty.

The black eyes behind the lens flashed with amazing light.

Yu You didn't pause for too long, gracefully turned over, swam into the depths of the darkness in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace.

The camera only captured this short shot, and her shadow was never found again.

Thirty minutes later, a figure swam to the shore, and while walking towards the beach, he took off his diving goggles, revealing a handsome face.

He looked down at the camera in his hand and clicked on the picture he had just captured. The light on the bottom of the sea was dim, and with the help of the night vision light of his device, he didn't miss this amazing scene.

"Young Master Lu, have you had enough? Is it time to go back?" A young man in his twenties walked over to Lu Jingyi while trembling.

Lu Jingyi put away the camera and asked, "Did you see anyone else going into the water just now?"

The youth was speechless: "Who else would come here to snorkel in the middle of the night like you?"

Lu Jingyi looked back at the sea again, then turned around: "Let's go back."

"Oh, thank God, I'm freezing to death." The young man quickly followed.

The next morning, Yu You woke up wet again, and there was a pool of seawater on the swimming bed.

She rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom barefooted. In fact, she can freely control the time she enters the sea, but she likes her night tour, so she doesn't bother to control it.

After washing up, Yu You came to the shop on the first floor, only to hear the sound of "di", followed by the sound of typing, and the printer on the counter automatically started to print a ticket. She took the bill and glanced at it. It said that the electricity bill balance was 0.9 yuan, the water bill balance was 0.7 yuan, and there were only 5 days left for the internet bill to expire.

"Grandpa Turtle, didn't you help me pay?" Yu You asked helplessly, looking at the bill.

Grandpa Turtle: [Bank account balance: 377.7 Yuan]

"Ah, I almost forgot." Yu You held up the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "The hundreds of thousands of cash earned from selling antiques last time haven't been deposited into my account."

Undersea Taobao is the main source of income for Yu You. She just sells one or two items, which is enough for her daily expenses. Unless she needed it urgently, she will never waste her energy tossing around.

In fact, if she opened an ornamental fish shop, her business would not be so bleak. Her repair shop is near the market, and there are few customers.

Usually, she often bought some old, weak, sick, and disabled fish. If someone wants to buy her fish, the fishes have to look at their eyes, otherwise, she will not sell them no matter how high the price is.

There's no one else who is as self-willed as she is in doing business.

Yu You checked that it was still early, so she simply closed the store and went to the bank to deposit her money.

The bank is only a few hundred meters away from Yu You's store, and it's only a few minutes walk away. The time was unfortunate. When Yu You came, all three ATMs already have people standing behind, waiting. Yu You wasn't in a hurry, she took out her Grandpa Turtle's mobile phone and prepared to play games to pass the time.

Just click on the big fish to eat the small fish, and start a simple and rude battle of devouring. (Guess what game this is?)

Yu You has always been in a hurry, and the same is true when she was playing games. After dying twice, Grandpa Turtle finally couldn't stand it anymore and took over the sovereignty of the game.

By the time Yu You deposited the money, returned to the shop, and had breakfast, Grandpa Turtle had already passed all five levels and killed six generals, becoming the overlord of the ocean and reaching the peak of the turtle life.

At the end of the game, Grandpa Turtle played another song Love to Fight to Win to motivate Yu You, who has no fighting spirit.

Yu You: "..." After being nurtured by the Internet for a few years, Grandpa Turtle is no longer the mature and prudent Grandpa Turtle.

The song was played three times, and it stopped abruptly. Then a shutdown animation sounded, and the phone's battery was exhausted.

Grandpa Turtle uses his mobile phone to surf the Internet when he has nothing to do, and the full battery can't last for 24 hours. Yu You plugged in the phone and restarted it. Grandpa Turtle is no longer in trouble, and charges quietly.

"Xiaoyu, good morning, have you eaten yet?" Uncle Yang from the flower shop next door walked into the shop and put a rice cooker on the counter, "There seems to be something wrong with my rice cooker, please help me."

"Okay." Yuyou began to check the fault carefully.

"By the way, Xiaoyu." Uncle Yang said, "Have you heard? Our area is going to be demolished."

Yuyou paused and raised her head: "Demolition?"

"Yeah, my nephew is working in the demolition office. The news was disclosed by him. It is said that the documents will be issued in July." Uncle Yang sighed a little, "My store is rented, and I can't get much money compensation, but Xiaoyu, your store is your own, and you should be able to get a lot of demolition funds by then.”

Yu You frowned, there was no surprise on her face.

This store was left to her by her adoptive parents. It's less than 300 meters away from the vast sea and was easy to access. She's very satisfied with the current living environment and doesn't want to move at all.

"You're alone, and the business in the repair shop isn't good. After the demolition, you don't have to guard this old store to live." Uncle Yang said with great interest, "You seem to be 22 this year, right? Do you have a partner? My nephew is nice, tall, and handsome, and works in a state unit, do you want to meet him?"

Yu You had no impression of this nephew, and naturally had no way of judging whether the nice, tall, and handsome Uncle Yang had said was credible. Even if he really was handsome, she wasn't interested.

"Uncle Yang, it's repaired, you can take it back and try it." Yu You pushed the rice cooker to him.

"Fixed already?" He was just getting started!

"It's just that the carbonization of the surface of the plug has caused a short circuit, just grind it clean."

"Uh, thanks, how much?"

"20." Yu You only charged a service fee.

Uncle Yang gave the money and before leaving, he didn't forget to give his nephew a good impression: "Xiaoyu, what Uncle Yang said just now, think about it, my nephew is really good!"

There was no turbulence in Yu You's heart.
