Melody Summers was stunned by the words—Blue Scale Prawns?
She had only ever heard of Blue Demon Crayfish. What on earth were Blue Scale Prawns?
The system’s voice continued:
[Blue Scale Prawns live in colonies inside beautiful conch shells. They feed on seaweed and plankton, and they have long lifespans, capable of living for over a hundred years.]
[Blue Scale Prawns are non-toxic and edible. Their meat and shells are both rich in nutrients. Consuming them can strengthen your muscles and bones, ward off illness, and grant you a long life.]
Listening to the introduction in her mind, which sounded like something out of a pyramid scheme ad, Melody Summers’s eyes instantly lit up!
’This prawn is incredible! It’s practically a watered-down version of the S Level Far Sea Secret Medicine!’
Melody Summers excitedly grabbed a bucket and carefully picked up the lively Blue Scale Prawn that was hopping around on the deck, placing it inside.
Next, she picked up the large, snow-white conch shell. Gripping it tightly on both sides, she began to shake it nonstop.
As she shook it, the Blue Scale Prawns inside the conch shell tumbled out, falling into the bucket with a series of PLOPS.
Once the conch shell was empty, Melody Summers looked at the pile of vibrant, deep blue in the bucket and began to count them one by one.
One, two, three... seventeen!
There were a total of seventeen Blue Scale Prawns in this large conch shell! Enough for the whole family!
Melody Summers thought with delight, ’Tonight, I’ll share this bucket of muscle-and-bone-strengthening prawns with my family!’
...
Melody Summers carried the Blue Scale Prawns out of her space and casually pulled out her phone to check it, only to find an unread message.
Melody Summers opened the message, a little confused, and saw that it was from Mrs. Vance, who lived downstairs:
[Miss Summers, didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on 1506? I’ve been hearing shouting from their apartment from time to time recently. It’s gotten even weirder these past two days—now there’s a woman’s crying and screaming... They weren’t like this before. I have no idea what’s been going on.]
Melody Summers frowned slightly as she read the message—
’Shouting?’
’A woman’s crying and screaming?’
’What’s going on?’
Looking puzzled, Melody Summers called Mrs. Vance, wanting to ask for more details, but the call didn’t go through.
Melody Summers belatedly slapped her forehead. ’How could I forget? The power is out! Mrs. Vance doesn’t have a generator, so her phone must be dead.’
Melody Summers mulled it over. She figured the shouting and crying were most likely Joanne White arguing with the Suttons, so she didn’t think too much of it.
Right now, all she could think about were the Blue Scale Prawns she had caught today, the ones said to strengthen muscles and bones. She put down her phone, picked up the bucket, and headed straight for the kitchen.

「Meanwhile, at The Nimbus Hotel.」
Upon receiving the seafood Melody Summers had sent over that day, the hotel’s management and staff were utterly shocked—
The bluefin tuna was on its last breath, but it was still alive!
And the king crabs—each one was enormous. With their legs fully extended, they were a full two meters long!
The hotel management conferred and ultimately decided to use this rare seafood to host a banquet for their distinguished guests.
After all, no one could go out anyway. A little entertainment would be a good way to kill the boredom and also justify the exorbitant room rates.
In the hotel’s presidential suite, Ronan Rhodes, Roman Rhodes, and Sophie Thorne were sitting in the living room.
