Chapter 144 - 123: I’ll Eat It Raw When It’s Fished Up

Chapter 144: Chapter 123: I’ll Eat It Raw When It’s Fished Up

"What should we scoop up then?" a girl curiously asked.

Yes, what’s good to scoop up from the sea? It needs to be something competitive.

After thinking for a while, a girl suggested, "How about scooping up seafood? If we get some, we can take it to a restaurant and eat it."

"Haha, you’re such a foodie," the other girls burst into laughter immediately.

"Scooping up seafood, you guys must really be out of your minds." Just then, a voice came from the side, causing the girls to turn their attention to it.

"What is it to you what we say?" Len Yue was quite fiery. This guy must be the one with a problem. We’re just chatting among ourselves, and then you butt in and criticize us. If you’re not the one who’s out of your mind, who is?

It’s annoying to encounter such people when chatting—arrogant, brainless, and yet full of themselves. Such men deserve to be single for life.

The man just shrugged his shoulders, "I’m just telling the truth. Do you think you can catch seafood with your bare hands? Fish swim way faster than you."

"That’s none of your business to talk here," another girl immediately retorted.

"Oh, come on, it was just a friendly reminder. No need to argue with me about it," the man disdainfully said, "It’s the truth."

"Who says we can’t scoop it up?" Len Yue defied him.

"Exactly, who says we can’t get it?" another girl also echoed.

The man laughed, "Like you could scoop up seafood. Dream on, I can’t be bothered arguing with a bunch of dimwitted people like you."

These words infuriated the girls, "You’re the dimwitted one, your whole family is dimwitted."

"Who says we can’t scoop up seafood?" Just then, Li Chen, who had been silent till now, suddenly spoke.

The man turned around, glanced at Li Chen with a look that said ’are you sick?’,

"Unless you can swim faster than fish, how could you possibly scoop them up?" the man scoffed, "It’s like being in zero gravity in space; do you actually think you can walk underwater?"

"Oh? Would you dare to bet on it?" Li Chen smiled slightly.

"Why wouldn’t I? What’s the bet?" The man immediately agreed, jokingly. How could a man cower, and besides, this bet was clearly in his favor.

"If I scoop up seafood, you must apologize to these girls," Li Chen stated calmly.

"That’s easy. If you can bring up the seafood, I’ll eat it raw right on the spot!" the man blurted out rashly.

"Alright, you’ve said it, don’t back out later," a Perfumer interjected right away.

"Of course," the man turned his head, "Just hope you don’t bring up just a few small fish and shrimp. If you have some **** luck, won’t I lose unfairly?"

"Don’t worry, if it’s not up to thirty pounds of seafood, consider it my loss," Li Chen stated calmly.

"Alright, I admire this kind of attitude," the man laughed heartily and then turned around to shout to the surrounding people, "Everyone, come and see, this man says he’s going down to scoop up seafood."

Immediately, a crowd really gathered around.

"Scoop up seafood? That’s hardly possible, right?"

"Exactly, how can one person catch seafood barehanded?"

Once the crowd had gathered, the man told Li Chen, "Don’t come up if it’s not thirty pounds. Oh, and do you want to get some diving equipment first?"

"No need," Li Chen, disregarding the mockery in the man’s words, then walked down into the sea and dived under the gaze of the onlookers.

Immediately, the surface of the sea calmed down, while a crowd stood on the shore, just there for the spectacle.

"This guy is really sick, why didn’t you take him to see a doctor?" the man asked Wang Qianqian and the others.

"You’re the one who’s sick," Wang Qianqian immediately counterattacked.

"Tsk, tsk, I’m the normal one here. You are really sick, so many people here know it’s almost impossible to catch seafood with bare hands, and that guy was making bold claims. He’s not sick, what is he then? No, wrong, I suspect he’s just outright insane."

The man laughed out loud, and the girls were furious, while it just so happened that Lin Yi also came over.

"What’s going on?" Seeing his company’s employees grouped with others, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"President Lin, this guy wanted to bet with us. Mr. Cheen has already gone down to scoop up seafood," a girl immediately spilled all the details of what had happened.

"Oh, I see," Lin Yi surprisingly nodded, "Then let’s wait and see."

The newcomer couldn’t help but think that this beautiful woman might also be insane, such a waste of a pretty lady.

Meanwhile, Li Chen in the sea was searching for sufficiently large seafood, looking for something weighing thirty pounds was really not easy.

This fish looks quite big, but probably not thirty pounds, next one, this fish won’t do either, next...

Li Chen continued his search, as time ticked by, a minute and a bit had passed.

Hmm?!

Li Chen’s eyes lit up, "Found it, this fellow must be over 30 pounds."

On the shore, another laughed, "It’s almost two minutes now, he hasn’t perished in the sea, has he? I said, if you can’t handle it, don’t push yourself too hard, risking your own life, what’s the point?"

"Brother Cheen won’t die, just you wait." Wang Qianqian was furious, but she was also somewhat worried, why hadn’t Brother Cheen surfaced yet?

"Do you think a person could stay under water for over two minutes?" the man said with a look that regarded Wang Qianqian as if she were a fool. "Stop waiting, better call an ambulance—ah, no, they should fish the body out first, otherwise it could drift too far."

The rage among the women was palpable, yet Lin Yi remained calm, and Wang Qianqian, though initially anxious, remembered Li Chen’s past miraculous feats and felt a newfound confidence.

"Just wait a little longer, Brother Cheen will definitely come out," Wang Qianqian said seriously.

"I do have the time to wait, but I’m afraid he might not make it out, haha!" the man laughed heartily, and the people around him joined in; some even kindly suggested, "Better call 120, it’s almost been three minutes, it’d be awful if someone actually died."

Just then, someone suddenly brightened up, pointing at the sea, "He’s out!"

All at once, everybody looked in that direction, and upon seeing Li Chen and the seafood he had brought up, they were all dumbstruck, some almost popped their eyes out.

Shit, shit, shit!

This thing must weigh at least 60 or 70 pounds, right?

The man’s eyes were incredibly wide and what had been a lively crowd suddenly fell silent.

But Wang Qianqian and the other girls were cheering.

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Li Chen placed the massive turtle on the sand, "How about that? Does this weigh 30 pounds or not?"

Yes, indeed, the seafood Li Chen had brought up was a turtle.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, why had Li Chen chosen to bring up a, uh, turtle?

People around then started talking, "This guy is amazing, he actually did it."

"Yeah, it’s the first time in my life I’ve seen anything like this," another added.

Len Yue looked on proudly, "Well, now that we have the seafood, what do you have to say?"

Right, the thing’s right here, and I don’t know who was talking about eating it raw even though this one’s a bit tough to chew, but it’s indeed edible," another girl said earnestly.

Hearing this, people around laughed again, turtles are easy to chew? Don’t break your teeth, why do you think turtles are also called tough nuts to crack?

It’s because they are hard.

"It doesn’t count, this doesn’t count," the man immediately shook his head.

"Hey, are you trying to cheat?" The girls at once protested; he had initiated the challenge and now wanted to back out after losing, that’s not how it works.

"I am not cheating," he said.

"Not cheating? Aren’t turtles considered seafood?" another challenged.

"What I mean is, turtles are so slow. It’s naturally very easy to catch one. Someone else could do it too, bring up something else and I’ll be convinced," he replied.

Len Yue scoffed, "We had an agreement for 30 pounds of seafood, this turtle perfectly meets that, and you think a turtle swims as slowly as you? Why don’t you try catching a turtle from the sea yourself?"

"Hahaha," the laughter rose again around her, that girl was really sharp-tongued.

"You!" The man’s face turned red with anger, while Li Chen said lightly, "Okay, then I’ll go get another fish."

"Mr. Cheen, there’s no need," several girls tried to stop Li Chen, but he just smiled slightly, "It’s okay, this will be quick."

After saying that, he dove into the sea again, and sure enough, it wasn’t long before Li Chen emerged, this time holding an enormous fish.

"This fish should just about weigh 30 pounds," Li Chen placed the fish on the beach, then noticed that most of the spectators had a stunned expression.

The man was also dazed, his face filled with disbelief.

How is this possible?

But the reality was right in front of him, and since Li Chen had dived down in full view, he had to believe it.

"Got anything to say now?" Len Yue looked at the man in front of her.

"I, I concede," said the man.

"Great, this one’s easier to chew, go ahead and eat it raw," another girl said.

"For real, eat it?" the man looked distressed; he had only spoken off the cuff earlier, never expecting the opponent would actually dive and bring up seafood.

"Alright, let’s drop it this time. Next time you’re out, watch your words," Lin Yi then said.

Seeing President Lin speak, none of the girls objected, though their eyes still turned to Li Chen.

"Apologize to them," Li Chen said coolly.
