Chapter 50 Fish Human Physique

The next morning.

Xu An and Jiang Xiyan, along with two others, sat in a breakfast shop, enjoying local specialties: freshly squeezed rice noodles and corn porridge.

"Xu An, you've finished writing Battle Through the Heavens. When are you planning to start a new book?" Jiang Xiyan asked.

Xu An swallowed the rice noodles in his mouth and replied, "I don't know, I'll see when I have an idea."

As they spoke, Jiang Xiyan moved her chair closer to Xu An, her face full of curiosity: "Could I ask how much you sold the copyright to Battle Through the Heavens for? I heard online that you sold the copyright to Covering the Sky for tens of millions, is that true?"

Feng Yingying, who was eating rice noodles next to her, turned her head and looked over.

Zhang Su, who had always acted aloof, also secretly pricked up his ears.

Xu An felt there was nothing to hide. He only learned after chatting with Jiang Xiyan last night that this girl was his loyal fan. When "Battle Through the Heavens" was first published, she even gave him a reward. She was the one named "Demon Princess Yan Ruyu".

Whether it's the fan rankings for "Covering the Sky" or "Battle Through the Heavens," she ranks among the top.

In total, Xu An received nearly 100,000 yuan in tips.

"Yes, the copyright for 'Covering the Sky' sold for over 50 million, and the animation, film, and television rights for 'Battle Through the Heavens,' plus the audio adaptations and comic adaptations, all added up to several hundred million," Xu An replied.

The bulk of the revenue comes from animation and film copyrights.

It was still purchased by two industry giants, Tiangong and Guangying Media.

This time, without any middlemen taking a cut, Xu An ate until he was stuffed.

"So many!" Jiang Xiyan's beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face filled with surprise.

She comes from a wealthy family, but even hundreds of millions is an unimaginable sum for her.

Feng Yingying gasped, covered her mouth, and looked at Xu An with shining eyes.

Zhang Su remained silent, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

He couldn't understand how a lousy novelist could earn so much money.

After finishing the meal.

The four arrived at the White Shark Diving International Club.

Old Cat had already had the equipment prepared in advance.

"All the equipment you want is here, top-of-the-line configuration. Including tuition, it'll be 350,000," Old Cat said.

No wonder people say diving is something only the rich do; a set of equipment can cost hundreds of thousands.

"No problem, send me your card number and I'll transfer it to you right away," Xu An said.

"Okay." Old Cat gave an OK sign.

Xu An put his equipment in the trunk of the G-Class.

Next, the group drove to the Jiudun Skylight training area.

The weather was beautiful today, with not a cloud in the sky. The clear, emerald-green skylight was stunning, and just looking at it made you want to jump in for a swim.

Summer is the perfect season for water activities.

When Xu An and his group arrived at the training area, some people were already playing paddleboarding on the water.

"Let's warm up and stretch first," the old cat said, instructing them to follow along.

Even if you have a compressed air tank to breathe underwater, anything can happen underwater, so you should make all necessary preparations before going underwater.

Let alone diving, even snorkeling has resulted in drownings, as people can always look up to breathe. We must not be careless.

The stretching process is complete.

After warming up, since Xu An was a newbie, Lao Mao explained the key points of diving and the use of various equipment again.

In short, no matter what happens underwater, staying calm is the most important thing; never panic.

If you panic, anything can happen.

"Do you understand?" Old Cat asked Xu An after explaining.

Xu An nodded: "Understood."

"Alright, put on your gear and get ready to go into the water," Old Cat said.

This was Xu An's first time scuba diving.

As I submerged and was completely enveloped in water, that familiar feeling washed over me once again.

Xu An knew that this was his innate [Fish Physique] at work.

[Fish Physique] is a reward obtained after completing the novelist's mission. Like the succubus physique, it is a special talent.

Because of his succubus constitution, Xu An noticed that his appearance had improved. In addition, he also had a special aura that emanated from within, which greatly increased his charm. Girls would often come up to him on the street and ask for his contact information.

After receiving the fish-like physique reward, Xu An went to a swimming pool to experiment.

It has a natural affinity for water; once it enters the water, it's like a dragon entering the sea.

What shocked Xu An the most was that he could breathe underwater.

This discovery shocked him. He knew he absolutely couldn't tell anyone this secret; if outsiders found out, he might be dissected and studied.

The old cat led the team and didn't let them dive too deep. They first experienced and familiarized themselves with diving, and practiced hand gestures underwater.

As soon as he entered the water, Xu An felt as if he had returned home. He even had a very strange feeling, as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy. It was like a dragon entering the water or a fish entering the sea. He had a feeling of freedom and joy, like birds flying high in the sky and fish leaping in the vast sea.

Old Cat noticed Xu An's condition and was slightly surprised; he didn't look like someone who was diving for the first time.

The sunlight shines through the water, it's very beautiful.

The beam of light ripples and moves underwater, creating a wonderful feeling of being bathed in sunlight and swimming in it.

At this moment, the sunlight took shape...

After staying underwater for a while, Old Cat gestured for everyone to surface.

So everyone floated to the surface.

After getting ashore, Old Cat praised, "Xu An, is this really your first time diving? Your performance underwater doesn't seem like that of a beginner."

"I'm really a novice, but I might have a little bit of talent," Xu An said with a smile.

"Hahaha." The old cat laughed and gave a thumbs up.

Old Cat is a person whose appearance gives people a very comfortable and sunny feeling. Friends who know him well all think he is a person with great personal charm.

After resting on shore for a while and checking the equipment again, Lao Mao led everyone down to the bottom of the sea again.

The bubbles created by exhaled air float upwards.

Jiang Xiyan swam freely in the water, smiling as she greeted Xu An.

Xu An smiled and raised his hand to beckon.

Although her face was obscured by large diving goggles, you could see through the goggles that she was smiling with her eyes narrowed, and she looked very beautiful.

Suddenly, her flippered legs stopped, and she sank to the bottom. In a panic, she reached out and grabbed wildly in the water.

The others who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

Old Cat and Zhang Su quickly swam towards her.

But Xu An was faster. His fish-like physique made him like a dragon in the water, and he kicked off with his flippers.

In the blink of an eye, he was beside Jiang Xiyan.

As soon as he hugged her, Jiang Xiyan gripped Xu An's arm tightly as if she had grasped a lifeline.

This is a subconscious reaction when a person is panicked and fearful.

Xu An looked into her eyes, blinked twice, patted them gently, and shook his head, indicating that she should not be nervous.

Under Xu An's comforting embrace, the panicked Jiang Xiyan felt his strong arms and her panic slowly subsided.

Xu An carried her upwards.

Zhang Su, who was a step behind, could only watch helplessly as Xu An carried Jiang Xiyan to the surface, a scene that filled him with anger.
