Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Blue Scale Shrimp

Melody Summers dodged the eels writhing frantically on the deck. She picked up a small shovel she’d prepared earlier and began to sift through the mountain of seafood.

The largest portion of this catch was made up of various shrimp, such as akiami paste shrimp, deep-water scampi, and scarlet shrimp. They were much larger than the ones Melody had caught in the shallows before; some of the scarlet shrimp were even as long as her calf!

All the shrimp had vibrant red shells, especially the scarlet shrimp. Their brilliant red color was like a rich ruby.

In addition to the shrimp, some of the fish were also a brilliant red.

For example, thornyheads and blackbelly rosefish looked like burning flames, their entire bodies a vibrant, tomato-red.

These two types of fish were species found only in the deep sea, living in its high-pressure, low-temperature, and dark environment. Melody had never seen them when she fished in the shallows.

In addition, there were many other fish Melody had caught for the first time, such as the shimmering silver tilefish and the aptly named greeneye fish... These were all new species she had never seen in the shallows.

To Melody’s astonishment, she had actually caught a massive bluefin tuna this time!

The bluefin tuna had a deep, silver-black body. It was enormous, with sleek lines like a torpedo, and its flesh looked incredibly firm.

Melody Summers carefully stroked the bluefin tuna’s back, marveling, "This fish must be at least two hundred pounds..."

Nearby, White pawed at the tuna’s tail a few times. The tuna seemed displeased, and its tail suddenly whipped around, slapping against the deck with a loud THWACK, THWACK.

Now Melody was even more stunned!

She blurted out, "It’s still alive! Aren’t these fish supposed to die as soon as they’re brought on board?!"

Tuna are one of the ocean’s most formidable predators. They have a unique respiratory system that requires them to swim constantly, forcing water over their gills to get oxygen. That’s why they usually die the moment they leave the water.

Yet this one was still alive. Melody once again marveled at the wonders of the Arcadian Space. ’Even the tuna it produces are this vigorous!’

There was no time to waste. While the fish was still alive, Melody rolled up her sleeves and started sorting out the order for The Nimbus Hotel.

Melody’s collaboration with The Nimbus Hotel had been going very smoothly. Plus, Carter Jennings had helped her out of a tight spot before, so she wanted to show her gratitude. She packed the bluefin tuna directly into the shipping container, adding a few extra king crabs as well.

After shipping The Nimbus Hotel’s order, Melody looked at the seafood left on the deck. She then scrolled through her message list and started contacting the hotels that had previously expressed interest in placing an order.

Due to the widespread power outages and network failures, many out-of-province hotels were now unreachable.

Melody scrolled for a bit and finally found two hotels she could still reach: The Grand Karn Hotel in Kanton and The Solara Hotel in Lyndell.

After some negotiations, Melody supplied The Grand Karn Hotel with 2,200 pounds of seafood for a payment of 30 million. She then supplied The Solara Hotel with 1,100 pounds of seafood for 15 million.

In just half a day, she had effortlessly raked in a small fortune.

After shipping those two orders, there were still a few hundred pounds of seafood left on the deck. Melody decided to list the remainder, along with the dozens of live king crabs, on her shop.
