I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei didn't inquire about the subsequent handling of those dive shops.

Old Wu mentioned on the phone that the company involved had its license revoked, and the relevant coaches had been dealt with according to the law—those who should be detained were detained, and those who should be fined were fined. As for the previous complaints that lacked evidence, they were all deemed factual this time, and the handling process adhered to the principle of severe and swift punishment, with no room for leniency.

After listening, Luo Fei simply hummed in response and didn't say anything more.

Some people are like that; you give them face and they don't appreciate it. They only realize the pain when they get slapped in the face. Why didn't they do that sooner?

The next morning, Luo Fei woke up in his bedroom and triggered the system options.

He completely ignored the cash transfer and opted to double his combat power.

After confirming the option, a warm current instantly flowed through my body, then quickly dissipated, and I didn't experience any particular sensations.

But he knew in his heart that his combat strength had now reached 20,000.

They spent the whole day at sea, leisurely fishing, sunbathing, and enjoying delicious food and drinks.

Li Xiulan's fishing skills became increasingly proficient. In the morning, she caught two black sea bream, each one bigger than the last. She was extremely proud and insisted that Luo Weidong take a picture of her with the fish in hand.

Luo Weidong, on the other hand, remained an "air force" (referring to a political figure who was not in the public eye).

He sat in a chair, holding a fishing rod, his expression calm on the surface, but Luo Fei could sense the emotions he was suppressing beneath that calm exterior.

After taking the photos, Li Xiulan leaned over to look at his fish bucket and found it was empty. She immediately burst into laughter.

"Your bucket is so clean you could use it as a mirror."

Luo Weidong ignored her, his eyes fixed on the float, motionless.

Luo Fei leaned against the ship's railing, watching his parents bicker, a slight smile playing on his lips, without interrupting.

Ah Jie mixed a few cocktails and brought them over. The drinks were beautifully colored and tasted quite good. Li Xiulan took a sip and praised, "This drink is sweet, it's really delicious."

She drank half a glass in one gulp, and her cheeks quickly flushed.

Luo Weidong advised her not to drink if she couldn't hold her liquor, but she glared at him and took another sip.

In the afternoon, Luo Fei originally planned to have Captain Sun sail to another nearby island, since it was a rare opportunity to get out and he wanted to stay for a few more days.

However, at dinner time, Captain Sun came out of the bridge with a strange expression on his face.

"Mr. Luo, we just received a weather warning. A typhoon has formed in our eastern sea area. Its path may pass near Lushi and it is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

He paused, then continued, "If we go any further out, we might not be able to get back in time and may have to brave the typhoon at sea."

Luo Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Will it be enough time to go back tomorrow?"

Captain Sun nodded: "We'll set sail early tomorrow morning and be back in Lushi around noon."

Luo Fei turned to look at his parents.

Li Xiulan was gnawing on a crab, the shell making a "crunch crunch" sound as she bit into it.

Upon hearing this, she paused, holding the crab in her hand.

"Are you going back?"

There was a hint of reluctance in her tone, but she didn't say much, only saying, "Okay, let's go back then. We've been playing for several days."

Luo Weidong teased from the side, "You've collected dozens of seashells already, haven't you had enough yet?"

Li Xiulan glared at him and continued eating the crab.

Luo Fei said to Captain Sun, "Then let's return to port first thing tomorrow morning."

Captain Sun responded and turned to make arrangements.

On the morning of the third day, before it was fully light, Luo Fei woke up.

The view outside the window was hazy and gray. Some waves had risen on the sea, much larger than the previous two days, and the wind was stronger, causing the boat to rock slightly.

He leaned against the headboard and triggered the system.

[Today's divine choice has been triggered.]

Options then pop up:

Option A: Obtain the "Special Weight Loss Formula" (which effectively burns body fat for rapid weight loss. It also significantly improves various health problems caused by obesity, enhancing quality of life.)

Option B: Obtain one ton of deep-sea fish oil (effectively lowers triglycerides, helps regulate blood pressure, and supports brain and vision health).

Luo Fei chose a weight-loss drug formula.

He has no use for this stuff, but like the previous hair growth formula, he'll give it to his aunt and let her handle it. It's always a good thing for the company to have more products.

He got up, washed up, and when he went to the dining room, Old Li had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Captain Sun weighed anchor, turned the yacht around, and headed towards Lushi.

The waves were much bigger than on the way there, and the boat was rocking violently. Li Xiulan was seasick and leaned back on the sofa with her eyes closed, her face pale.

Luo Weidong sat next to her, one hand on her shoulder, the other holding a cup of hot water, occasionally asking her if she wanted a sip.

Li Xiulan shook her head and remained silent.

Luo Fei went to the kitchen and asked Lao Li for a few slices of ginger, which he then had his mother put in her mouth, saying that it would stop her from vomiting.

After sucking on some ginger, Li Xiulan's complexion did improve after a while.

Luo Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, but said, "That's what you get for eating so many crabs yesterday."

Li Xiulan closed her eyes slightly and replied weakly, "Shut up."

Luo Weidong then fell silent.

Around noon, the yacht slowly entered the port of Lushi.

Captain Sun brought the ship to a steady stop at the berth and turned off the engine.

Luo Fei stood up, walked to the bridge, and shook hands with Captain Sun.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Captain Sun smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, Mr. Luo, you're too kind."

Luo Fei then shook hands with Lao Li and the others in turn, and then extended an invitation:

"Let's have lunch together. Let's find a restaurant near the pier."

The group looked at each other and nodded with smiles.

Luo Fei, along with his parents and the seven people on the boat, found a seafood restaurant next to the dock.

Once Li Xiulan had recovered, she became full of energy again.

When ordering, she specifically instructed the waiter: "I want the live shrimp, not the frozen ones."

The waiter smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Auntie, all our shrimp are freshly caught."

Luo Fei ordered a table full of dishes, mainly seafood, along with several vegetarian dishes and soups.

Halfway through the meal, he stood up, toasted everyone present with tea instead of wine.

"Thank you everyone for taking care of me these past few days. My parents had a wonderful time."

Captain Sun and his men quickly stood up and said, "You're welcome."

Li Xiulan chimed in, "Yes, yes, thank you so much. Especially Xiao Lin and Xiao Wang, you've been with me every day and even helped me carry my things. You've really worked so hard."

Xiaolin smiled and said, "Auntie, it's no trouble at all. We're happy to play with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiulan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

After the meal, Luo Fei went to the front desk to pay the bill.

Back on the ship, he left the diving gear he had bought on board and didn't take it with him.

He said to Captain Sun, "Keep these equipment; you might need them on future voyages."

Captain Sun paused for a moment, then nodded.

After the family disembarked, Luo Fei opened the trunk of the D9 and put the luggage inside.

Then he turned to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go buy some local specialties first, and bring some back for our relatives and neighbors."

Li Xiulan nodded: "Yes, yes, we should buy some. Your neighbor's aunt was saying she wanted to eat dried fish from the seaside last time, so we should get her some."

Luo Weidong continued, "Also, you have Uncle Fu, who said his back wasn't feeling well last time. See if you have any suitable plasters."

Luo Fei smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll buy them all."

He drove his parents around Lushi City.

First, I went to the dried goods market and filled several large bags.

I went to a well-established bakery and bought pies, egg rolls, and pineapple cakes.

Li Xiulan tasted a piece and said, "This is delicious, let's buy a few more boxes."

Luo Fei smiled, paid the money, and stuffed everything into the trunk. The trunk was so full that the lid could barely be closed.

Around 3 p.m., the car drove into Liuxi Village.

The car was parked in front of the new house.

Luo Fei parked the car, got out, and took a deep breath.

The air in the village is completely different from that by the sea; it has no salty smell, but rather a fresh scent of earth and grass.

Li Xiulan and Luo Weidong also got out of the car and stood in the courtyard, looking around.

"This yard is bigger than I imagined."

Li Xiulan said, "I'll plant some vegetables here later, and also plant a few fruit trees."

Luo Weidong joked, "Why plant vegetables? You don't know how to grow them, and I'll have to take care of them."

Li Xiulan glared at him: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Luo Fei listened to their bickering, smiled, and opened the trunk to start unloading things.

The parents divided the local specialties into several portions, intending to give them to the village chief, relatives, and neighbors, while keeping the rest for their own consumption.

Luo Fei watched them busy, then took out his phone and transferred some money to his mother.

When Li Xiulan saw the bank's text message, she paused for a moment and looked up at her son.

"Xiaofei, why did you transfer so much money to me?"

Luo Fei replied, "Mom, the new house is still missing furniture and appliances. You and Dad should go to the county town tomorrow and buy whatever you like. Don't skimp on money."

Li Xiulan opened her mouth, wanting to say "too much," but seeing her son's serious expression, she swallowed her words back.

She lowered her head, looking at the string of numbers on her phone screen, her eyes reddening slightly.

Luo Weidong glanced at her from the side, said nothing, but simply patted his wife on the shoulder.

Luo Fei then went to the class monitor's WeChat and initiated a voice call.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"Luo Fei? You're back?" Su Wanqing's voice, tinged with surprise, came through the receiver.

"You're back. Squad leader, have you finished the plan for the activity center? Send it to my phone when you're done, and I'll discuss it with the village."

Su Wanqing said, "Okay, I'll send it to you right away. I've prepared three plans and listed the budgets. Take a look and see which one is suitable."

Luo Fei said, "Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, he quickly received three documents. Upon opening them, he found that each proposal included renderings, floor plans, a list of materials, and a budget.

He said goodbye to his parents and then went to the village chief's house.

Luo Youfu was feeding chickens in the yard when he saw Luo Fei arrive. He quickly clapped the rice bran off his hands and went to greet him.

"Xiaofei, you're back? How was your time?"

"fine."

Luo Fei took out his phone and handed the three plans to the village chief. "Uncle Youfu, these are several design plans for the activity center. Please take a look and see which one you like."

Luo Youfu took the phone, squinted at it for a long time, and pointed to the second option, saying, "This one is good. It has a big courtyard, which will make it convenient to show movies or hold banquets in the village in the future."

Luo Fei said, "Okay, let's choose this one."

He reviewed the budget again, confirmed it with the village chief, and then sent a message back to Su Wanqing.

"Squad leader, we'll choose the second option. Could you please arrange for the construction team to come on site? We'll use the same top-quality environmentally friendly materials as those used in my new home."

Su Wanqing replied instantly: "No problem, the construction team is the same one as before. They built your new house, so you can rest assured about the work."

Luo Fei said, "Okay, I'll transfer the remaining payment for the new house and the full payment for the activity center to you together. Please check your account."

He opened his mobile banking app and transferred both sums of money together.

The final payment for the new house plus the full payment for the activity center.

After transferring the money, he sent another message: "I'm moving in a couple of days, class monitor, come over for a visit if you're free."

Su Wanqing replied with a smiley face emoji: "Okay, I'll definitely go."

Luo Fei put away his phone, chatted with the village chief for a few more minutes, and then went home.

Unbeknownst to him, while he was discussing the activity center with the village chief, several people were sitting together in the living room of Lin Zongwei's house in Qingshan Town, staring at their phone screens.
