Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Do you think they'd believe something this absurd? You're even behind them in progress; they'll just think you were lucky to find a fish that had recently died.

My Strength is now 23 and my Constitution is 20, so I don't need to be afraid of them anymore.

It's hard to say; everyone's luck is different.

[By the way, how's the equipment acquisition going?]

[We've already acquired two, and gave one to Jiang Haitao.]

[So fast? Is the meat of the three-clawed rock snail really that valuable?]

I used an entire equipment slot acquired through trading.

"Oh, I see. Well done. Here's a suit of armor for each of you to protect yourselves."

Subsequently, Zhou Wen sent Chen Xin and Jiang Haitao each a piece of Yellowtail Scale Armor. Both of them had a strength of over 20 points, with Chen Xin at 23 points and Jiang Haitao at 22 points. After consuming Boiling Blood Coral Powder, they could barely make the scale armor move.

"Brother Wen, this yellowtail scale armor with bladed fins is so cool! Those arm blades, those hooked claws—wearing it makes me look like a fish monster with a violent aesthetic. It's just too heavy."

[To make this scale armor usable, you need at least 30 points of strength. This is for you to keep in your equipment slot for survival; you can wear spiked armor normally.]

Okay, I got it, Brother Wen.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Wen instructed Chen Xin to continue acquiring equipment slots, ideally two for each person, and to give him any extras.

As for selling the Abyss Dragonfish meat, Chen Xin will not be allowed to do it for the time being, as it is too dangerous. She can sell it later when she has more ways to protect herself, or he can sell it himself. In any case, in other people's eyes, he is very lucky.

After putting away the furnace, iron pot, and other miscellaneous items, Zhou Wen returned to the space inside his stomach wall.

The harvest from this Crimson Kelp Forest was enormous. Not only did they take the entire Crimson Kelp Forest, but they also obtained 37 Crimson Root Nodules. Combined with the Crimson Kelp stored in the three Deep Blue Treasure Chests, they can accelerate the growth of the Transformation Leviathan for 40 days.

The Leviathan grows about one meter a day. With the accelerated growth over these 40 days, it grows an additional 20% each day, resulting in an extra 8 meters of growth. That means it can grow 48 meters in 40 days. Combined with its current 54 meters, its body length will directly exceed 100 meters.

Then there's the corpse of the Abyss Dragonfish. Not only can its meat greatly increase attribute points, but its black crystal scales can also be used to make equipment. Although he doesn't have the blueprints yet, he'll eventually find them in the future.

Fish bones can also be used to make fish bone armor. Finally, there is the heart of the Abyss Dragonfish, which contains something very special, but it cannot be used at present.

After putting everything away, Zhou Wen began to inspect the stomach wall space. The rock crystal leaf tree had already grown flower buds and would bloom again in a few days.

Most notably, the golden seaweed has grown to 80 centimeters, reaching the limit of the seaweed cultivation tank's surface. Now, we'll see when it starts to bear fruit.

As long as the golden seaweed produces golden seaweed fruit, he will gain another 5 points of strength, bringing his strength to 30.5 points. Even without using the boiling blood coral powder and the five free attribute points, he can barely use the blade-finned yellowtail scale armor.

After using both buffs, the strength reaches a terrifying 40.5 points. At that time, wearing a yellow-scaled armor with bladed fins and wielding a steel longsword, one will be an absolutely invincible existence among all survivors.

Just as Zhou Wen was envisioning a bright future, He Youwei sent him a message.

[Boss, we have a lead on the 40 pieces of glass you requested.]

[Your guild only has ten people, how come you have leads so quickly?]

[Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the treasure cave on the world chat channel. The fact that these people are discussing it so enthusiastically suggests that some of them may have already explored the treasure cave.]

Our guild members contacted these people privately to ask if they had any glass, and surprisingly, they did. We then communicated with them to see how they were willing to trade.

Glass isn't a rare material, so why don't they sell it on the world trading channel?

【Huh? Isn't glass a rare material?】

He Youwei's question stumped Zhou Wen. Actually, upon closer reflection, glass is still quite rare.

He didn't find it rare because the items that needed to be made of glass were not essential for the survivors' survival, and were far less valuable than the iron ingots needed for iron weapons.

But from the perspective of an ordinary survivor, since they had never encountered glass before and suddenly found it, and it's almost non-existent on the market, they would naturally feel that glass is very rare.

[It's a rare material, so what are they trying to trade?]

They wanted the newly available white jade clam meat and three-clawed rock snail meat.

[Impossible. The glass isn't worth that much. Tell them you can exchange 1,000 units of basic materials for 10 units of glass. If they don't want to, fine.]

Afterwards, He Youwei relayed the information back and forth several times, and finally set the price at 2,000 sets of basic materials for 10 sets of glass. This price was within Zhou Wen's acceptable range, and he traded 40 sets of glass for 8,000 sets of basic materials.

Of course, Zhou Wen couldn't let He Youwei work for nothing, so he gave him a piece of reef fish as payment for passing on the message. Whether He Youwei made a profit in the process was not within his consideration.

Zhou Wen's goal was to get them to establish the "Order" guild and then deal with Zhao Teng. As for whether they would turn into evil dragons later, that would depend on whether they respected the order.

With all the materials needed to make the Crimson Oxygen Tank gathered, Zhou Wen bought several barrels of seawater from the World Trade Channel, then opened the blueprint interface and clicked "Make".

All the materials turned into blue light and quickly assembled in the air. Soon, a cylindrical glass jar with a length, width, and height of two meters appeared before our eyes.

However, this Crimson Oxygen Tank cannot be placed directly inside the stomach wall; it requires a foundation for placement.

Zhou Wen could only place four stone foundations, and then place the Crimson Oxygen Tank on the foundations.

Zhou Wen briefly observed the exterior of the Crimson Oxygen Tank. The bottom was made of metal, while the middle was made entirely of glass, allowing a very clear view of everything inside.

There is a lid at the top, which is also made of metal. In the middle of the metal lid, there is a sliding metal cover plate that is 30 centimeters long and wide. You can put things inside by pulling out the cover plate.

Then there's the inside of the Crimson Oxygen Tank. The bottom is lined with a layer of stones, then a layer of soil, and finally, the layer that comes into contact with the seawater is sand.

The crimson roots are in the middle of the oxygen tank, but crimson kelp has not yet grown, so it must take some time to grow.

This is roughly what the Crimson Oxygen Tank looks like. It's quite large and empty, and it should be able to house living organisms, just like a small aquarium. The first thing Zhou Wen thought of was the Glowing Fish.

So, all the glitterfish were scooped out of the small aquarium and, through the metal cover above, the thirty-odd glitterfish entered a larger space. A white jade clam was also placed in as decoration.

With the colorful glowing fish, the Crimson Oxygen Tank looks much better, and it will be even more beautiful once the Crimson Kelp grows.
