Chapter 267 Level 3 Rewind (Third Update)

Qin Ziwen said, "The ship is finished. When the time is right, we will launch it into the sea. However, I have heard that the three of you are skilled in underwater combat. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

The three Yan brothers readily agreed.

Having just arrived in this new place, they naturally wanted to show off their skills.

Following Boss Qin outside, the three of them saw the small buildings in the residential area. Although they were curious, they looked at them for a few more moments before turning their attention back to the sea outside.

“Here.” Yan Da looked around and realized that they were located on an island reef, surrounded by the sea on all sides.

They had seen the sea before; Taicang Prefecture was located near the coast, and the three brothers sometimes went out to sea to fish, so they were not unfamiliar with the sea.

"Brother, let me do it." Yan San was eager to try.

Upon arriving at the beach, he took off his clothes, revealing his bare upper body, leaving him only in a pair of shorts. His dark body gleamed in the setting sun.

He leaped into the water, like a fish falling into the sea.

Twenty-odd breaths had passed when, as the people on the shore were looking around, the sea suddenly stirred.

A wet head popped out of the sea. Yan San grinned and raised his hand from the water, holding a plump grouper that was frantically thrashing its tail.

"Haha, impressive skill," Qin Ziwen praised.

After consuming deep-sea oxygen, they could move in the water, but their movements were still limited by water resistance compared to being on land. Stabbing a grouper with a spear was possible, but catching a grouper with their bare hands was virtually impossible.

"Big brother, let me show off my skills to the boss too!"

Before Yan Wu could finish speaking, he had already slipped into the sea.

Unlike Yan San's nimble leap, he barely made a splash when he entered the water, leaving only a rapidly spreading ripple before his figure disappeared silently from the surface of the sea.

This time, time seemed to drag on exceptionally long.

As the sun sank further, the sea surface was tinged with an even deeper rust-gold color.

Five minutes, six minutes...

People on the shore began to count in hushed tones.

Just as Qin Ziwen peered out, the water surface, about seven or eight zhang away from the entry point, near a dark reef, suddenly began to ripple unnaturally.

With a loud crash!
Yan Wu stirred up a huge white wave. His right arm was outstretched, and his five fingers were like pincers, tightly gripping a wildly writhing sea eel!

The eel was as thick as an adult's arm, and its writhing body slapped against Yan Wu.

He was still clutching a lobster as thick as a forearm in his left hand.

He waded through the water as if floating out of it, and with a few leaps, he jumped onto the shore along the rocks.

Yan Wu grinned, "Boss, the grouper that Second Brother caught is alright for sashimi, but my stuff is much better for drinking with."

Seeing this, Yan San laughed and scolded, "You, Yan Laowu, are you climbing up by stepping on your brother's head?"

Many residents of nearby communities applauded and cheered when they saw this.

In the past few days, almost every household has tried fishing on the shore.

They're fine with fishing and netting, but fishing in the open sea is a bit of a challenge for them.

On the one hand, there's the issue of swimming ability; on the other hand, it's dangerous to swim in this area, as there are many ferocious marine creatures.

Anyone who can go into the sea and catch seafood with their bare hands is a tough guy.

Seeing that his two younger brothers had demonstrated their abilities, Yan Da was also preparing to enter the business world. He was pondering how to perform when Qin Ziwen called him over.

"Alright, I've seen your skills. It's getting late, let's head back."

The sun was about to set.

The temperature and light intensity of the sea surface are both decreasing.

Although Yan Da felt somewhat regretful, he did not insist on it.

Anyway, the second and fifth brothers have already shown their skills, so I believe the eldest brother knows how good they are at swimming.

Back home, Qin Ziwen summoned Du Yu, Li Tieshan, and others, and arranged for his recruits to meet and have a meal together.

The eel that Yan Wu caught was cut into large pieces, grilled over a fire, and sprinkled with some cane sugar or cumin powder.

With other snacks to accompany the drinks, everyone enjoyed the meal immensely.

Qin Ziwen took a moment to glance at Jia Liangcai's attributes; he was still only one star.

It seems there's still a long way to go before we can break through to Samsung's level.

So after the meal, he called the three Yan brothers over and presented them with a generous gift.

"Since you call me 'Big Brother,' I can't let you call me that for nothing. I have a card that can enhance your strength, but there's only one. You should decide who to give it to first," Qin Ziwen said, looking at the three of them.

Yan San and Yan Wu said in unison, "Boss, give it to Big Brother."

Qin Ziwen looked at Yan Da, who hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. In the past, the three brothers would take turns getting good things according to their ranking.

Qin Ziwen took out the Human Physique Enhancement Card and used it on Yan Da.

"Bang~"

The shattered green light merged into Yan Da's body.

Yan San and Yan Wu, standing beside him, both revealed curiosity and anticipation in their eyes.

After a long while, Yan Da opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and looked at Yan San, "Second brother, come and try."

Having said that, he extended his right arm.

The two brothers exchanged palms.

Apply force at the same time.

The next second, Yan Da won with an overwhelming advantage.

Yan San and Yan Wu were both shocked. In the past, their strength was about the same, and it was impossible for them to crush each other like this.

It must be the effect of that mysterious card from earlier!
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other with burning eyes.

They just wanted to quickly make a contribution and get a reward from the adults!
After talking with the three men, Qin Ziwen called over Shi Hu and Zhang Meng, who were hunters he had recruited earlier.

Although only a three-star character, he worked tirelessly and devoted himself to the team, giving his all whether in the archery workshop or on the hunt.

Qin Ziwen bestowed the remaining two enhancement cards upon the two individuals.

The two people's physiques were raised to four stars.

The two were moved to tears, feeling that all the hard work they had endured over the past few days had been worthwhile.

Qin Ziwen then summoned Liu San, Dazhuang, and others, and gave these non-combatant units a different reward.

They were given some fresh meat and vegetables, as well as some sugar.

Finally, there is Qian Muzhen, the physician.

Qin Ziwen was surprised to find that Qian Muzhen's physical fitness had quietly improved to three stars without him even realizing it.

It was only after inquiring that we learned that Qian Muzhen would go to the Yongwu Training Ground to exercise whenever she had free time.

“My lord,” Qian Muzhen straightened his back slightly, a trace of worldly wisdom flashing in his eyes, “I have practiced medicine all my life. Even if I were a wealthy tycoon, when illness strikes like a landslide, all the money in the world would be useless. A good body is worth more than ten thousand pieces of gold. This training ground is indeed a good place.”

"Is there anything you need?"

"Yes, sir, when will my clinic be open?"

Qin Ziwen had a headache; he really hadn't managed to get the medical building card.

Actually, other people in the community had received them, but by the time he learned of it, they had all been taken away by Renhetang or used by other people.

"I'll keep an eye on it," Qin Ziwen could only say. "Besides the clinic?"

Qian Muzhen shook her head, "Sir, please feel free to bestow any reward you may have."

At his age, he has long since become indifferent to many things.

Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, since you want to be healthy, let's wait a while and talk about it later."

"Thank you, sir." Qian Muzhen bowed with both hands and left gracefully.

After Qian Muzhen left, Qin Ziwen remembered that he hadn't used the function card he got during the last weekly settlement.

Retrieve the Level 1 backtracking card.

Crush the card, and the red card transforms into light that merges into the small orb of light in your home.

[Activation Feature: Level 3 Backtracking]

[Level 3 Rewind: Opens a portal that can traverse any map the neighborhood has passed through. Duration is 12 hours, cooldown is 7 days. If other neighborhoods exist on this map, it will be temporarily unavailable.]

The cooldown time remains the same, but the duration has doubled.

There was plenty of time throughout the day, whether for gathering supplies or investigating the surrounding area.

As night fell, the sea breeze became rough, whipping up gusts of wind.

Outside the residential area, the waves, propelled by the wind, crashed harder and harder against the rocks and mudflats.

Above the sea, the center of that archipelago, which was surrounded by islands, had silently sunken in at some unknown time.

A massive whirlpool is slowly taking shape, as if the deep sea has opened a giant eye without pupils.
