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

The Crimson Oxygen Tank is good, but it's too big. The foundation it's placed on takes up 4 square meters of stomach wall space, plus its stone platform of 8 square meters, for a total of 12 square meters, which is one-third of the stomach wall space.

"Forget it, that's it."

There are many people selling seaweed on the world trading channel every day, so Zhou Wen isn't too worried. Too many buildings in the stomach wall space affect the Leviathan's eating ability, so if necessary, he can buy some seaweed to make up for it.

It was late at night. Zhou Wen laid out two wooden foundations, lay down on them, and prepared to sleep. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he sat up again and took out a sphere from the supply box next to him.

The sphere, about the size of a tennis ball, is fiery red and currently radiates a dazzling red light. This is the item obtained from the heart of the Abyss Dragonfish.

[Burning Core: Grants the Burning Trait upon use. Once activated, the Strength attribute is doubled. The duration depends on the Constitution attribute, with 10 points of Constitution equaling 1 second. Can be used once per day.]

This burning core can be said to be Zhou Wen's biggest gain from this trip to the Crimson Sea, but he has been unable to use it despite many attempts, as it seems to require some kind of prerequisite.

"I wish this could work."

Since obtaining the Burning Core, Zhou Wen has been preoccupied with it, taking it out to look at it from time to time. He couldn't help it; the temptation of doubling his power was simply too great. Even if he could only maintain it for 3 seconds with his current 30 points of physique, it was still a powerful trump card.

But if it's unusable, it's unusable. No matter how many times he took it out, it was the same. After admiring the fiery red burning core for a while, Zhou Wen put it back into the supply box next to him and then fell asleep.

On the 25th day, Zhou Wen woke up to the familiar vibrations in his stomach wall. The Crimson Kelp Forest had finished eating and transformed into Leviathan to swim away to other places to find food.

Zhou Wen slowly sat up from the wooden platform. He wasn't feeling well today. He put away the wooden base and stretched his body. Some of the bones in his body would occasionally ache.

These are all injuries he sustained from his reckless behavior these past two days. His injuries were already severe, and yesterday he did heavy work all day. Without his 35 points of physical strength, he probably wouldn't be able to get up now.

The first thing I did after getting up was to check the Crimson Oxygenation Tank and found that a row of 20-centimeter-long Crimson Kelp seedlings had grown on the Crimson roots inside, a total of 6 seedlings.

"It's growing quite fast." Seeing how quickly the crimson kelp was growing, Zhou Wen subconsciously thought of the slow-growing golden seaweed, so he went to check on the golden seaweed, hoping that it would show some changes after one night.

However, just like last night, there were no obvious changes, so Zhou Wen began to inspect the other plants and creatures.

After inspecting the area and finding no problems, Zhou Wen placed the manual seaweed grinder, picked up a deep blue treasure chest, put 20 portions of crimson kelp into the grinder, and then fed them into the digestion tank.

The Leviathan, which was originally in the state of searching for food, switched to the state of searching for supplies after finding itself suddenly full.

After feeding them, Zhou Wen notified Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin to harvest the fruit planted by the guild members. The second round of planting, which began on the 18th day, has now reached its 25th day. Seven days have passed, not counting today, and the fruit is already ripe.

Soon, Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin had the guild members hand over the fruits they had grown. Of the 66 members selected in the first round to farm, not one left the guild this time, and not one sold the fruit privately.

Of the 334 people selected in the second round, 16 left, 12 were killed by parasites, 6 sold fruit privately, leaving 300 people.

A total of 432 watermelons were submitted. Yes, everyone planted watermelons again this time because it's easier to calculate. Only one watermelon can be planted in each small planting box, so there's no need to worry about guild members hoarding them. Although even if they did hoard them, it could be found out, but that would be more troublesome. It's simpler to just plant watermelons directly.

Of the 432 watermelons, 132 were grown by the 66 guild members in the first round, each with two small planting boxes, while the remaining 300 were grown by the guild members in the second round.

432 watermelons, which is 4320 jin (2160 kg), or a little over two tons, is not far from five tons. We just need to expand the number of farmers.

This time, Zhou Wen directly ordered the two guilds to expand their farming personnel to 1000, adding 634 new farming personnel in addition to the 366 farming personnel from the first two rounds.

Of these, 366 were farmers from the first two rounds, each cultivating two plots of land, while the 634 new members cultivated one plot of land each.

The original 66 members will no longer have their farming quota increased. Instead, they will be rewarded with food that increases their strength attribute points and trained to leave their stomach wall space and go outside to burn charcoal.

However, the only new foods that can increase strength attribute points are white jade clam meat and three-clawed rock snail meat, which can only increase strength by two points. If Zhou Wen wants to raise the strength of all 66 members to 15 points, he will have to see if he can find a suitable creature that can increase strength attribute.

Zhou Wen didn't dare let Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin send those exaggeratedly large body types to the guild members, in case it got out, the two of them would be in trouble.

After expanding the number of people farming, Zhou Wen had Jiang Haitao reveal the weaknesses of the Razorback Worm, which earned him a chorus of praise on the world communication channel. The title "Brother Jiang" instantly rose to "Big Boss Jiang," and some even called him "King Jiang."

The reason why ordinary survivors reacted so strongly this time is entirely because this weakness information is too deadly for the Razorback. Unlike the Anchor Worm, even if you know the Anchor Worm's information, you will still die without good armor or weapons.

However, once you know the Razorback's weakness, you will basically not be harmed and can kill it very easily. Moreover, Jiang Haitao disclosed this valuable information for free, which can be said to have saved countless lives.

However, there is one difficulty in exploiting the Razorback's weakness: it requires some blood. This is not a big problem; those with extra basic materials can buy them in the world trade channel, and those without can use the blood of a Transmogrified Leviathan.

Although it's not good for the Leviathan Transformation, I need to survive first, and this little bit of blood is nothing to the massive Leviathan Transformation.

This completely reversed Jiang Haitao's reputation for being "neurotic." "Neurotic" no longer meant mental illness; it meant being capricious and unpredictable, a characteristic of a monarch.

"Damn it, don't run away!" Zhou Wenzheng laughed as he watched Jiang Haitao praising him in various ways on the world chat channel, when suddenly his inner voice, transformed into Leviathan, rang out.

Zhou Wen felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Then, his stomach wall space vibrated violently. After transforming into Leviathan and chasing for a while, he performed a tail-whipping motion. After that, his stomach wall space calmed down and his esophageal diaphragm opened.

Stepping out of the stomach wall space and through the esophagus, Zhou Wen saw a familiar fish, a white-scaled fish, inside the mouth of the transformed Leviathan.

"I've noticed that this white-scaled fish is a bit... cheeky."
