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

[So... the survivor who challenged you to a duel, didn't he have any blueprints for iron weapons?]

No, didn't I already say in the world chat that the opponent only has one bone weapon?

Zuo Junyang didn't believe Zhou Wen's claims at all. How could a survivor who was only wearing two or three pieces of spiked armor and wielding bone weapons dare to challenge Zhou Wen to a duel?

It should be noted that Zuo Junyang only entered the Deep Blue Sea today and learned the specific information about the [Duel Ticket], which means that the survivors who challenge Zhou Wen must have entered the Deep Blue Sea today as well.

The other party's profile picture was very unfamiliar, indicating that they were not the leader of a small guild, but a solo survivor. With only one person, their progress was already similar to that of guild leaders, and their equipment could not possibly be what Zhou Wen said.

Zuo Junyang even thought that the survivor who challenged Zhou Wen to a duel might be an exceptionally advanced survivor who had some unknown conflict with Zhou Wen, which led him to challenge Zhou Wen to a duel.

The survivor who initiated the duel had a completely unfamiliar avatar, one that had never been seen before. Suddenly appearing before everyone and then challenging Zhou Wen to a duel, it was clear that there was something unknown about it.

Zuo Junyang thought this way because he had had many interactions with Zhou Wen, but had never gained any advantage from him. He had a feeling that Zhou Wen was not a simple person, at least not the kind-hearted person he usually appeared to be.

[Hey bro, please help me! A third of our guild members have left and joined the "Soaring" guild.]

Without iron weapon blueprints to support the guild, its development will only worsen.

I really don't have any extra iron weapon blueprints. I can't very well sell my own iron weapon blueprints to you, can I?

Furthermore, since one-third of your guild members have already joined the "Soaring" guild, why not follow the example of the "Overturning Rivers and Seas" guild and join "Soaring" as well?

[Impossible. Although our guild has no conflict with "Soaring," I do not condone Zhao Teng's actions.]

"Then there's nothing I can do. I only have one blueprint and can't sell it to you."

No matter how Zuo Junyang guessed, Zhou Wen would definitely not tell the other party his true intentions. Only by keeping everyone guessing and unable to figure him out would they be wary.

"How about this: you sell me some iron weapons, and I'll announce to the public that my guild has iron weapon blueprints. Later, when I need iron weapons to reward guild members, I'll buy them from you. Is that alright?"

This...no, no.

[Hey bro, can you help me out? I just entered the Deep Blue Sea today and got some iron ingots in the Border Area. Some other members of my guild are also about to enter the Border Area, and they should get some iron ingots too.]

I'm willing to trade two...no, three times the crafting materials of an iron weapon for one.

Furthermore, if you are willing, I can give you the [Duel Ticket] and then have the guild affiliated with you.

As Zuo Junyang spoke, Zhou Wenyue sensed something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he immediately realized what was going on.

"What's the difference between this and when they tried to get me to join Leviathan as vice president? Are they trying to cling to me now?"

"Oh, let's not talk about being affiliated with me. How about this, I'll sell you three iron spears that each require nine iron ingots to craft. Just announce that to the outside world and keep the guild calm down first."

[Then you can secretly try to find survivors who may have explored the treasure cave and see if you can trade iron weapon blueprints with them.]

Thank you so much, sir!

Subsequently, Zuo Junyang very conscientiously sent 27 iron ingots, and Zhou Wen then made three iron spears and traded them to Zuo Junyang.

After obtaining the iron spear, Zuo Junyang immediately took a picture of it and posted it on the world chat channel, announcing that he possessed the "Iron Spear Blueprint," thus calming the restless members of the guild.

Splash~ Splash~.

The sound of seawater churning came from his esophagus. The first supply box of the day had arrived. Zhou Wen immediately put on the White Scale Suit and continued to lie on the wooden platform.

With his current strength, Zhou Wen no longer needs to be wary of creatures that might enter his stomach wall space along with seawater. Creatures that are two or three meters in size cannot pose a threat to him at all. Furthermore, the esophagus of the transformed Leviathan is only two meters wide, so even larger creatures cannot enter the stomach wall space.

He didn't want to soak his lower body in seawater, so he decided to wait until the tide receded before opening the box.

Soon, the seawater receded, and with the powerful headlamp, Zhou Wen was able to scan the stomach wall space with the light a few times and see the entire stomach wall space. Apart from a supply box, he did not find any living creatures.

[Ding! You have obtained 1 cotton seed.]

"Cotton seeds? This is the first time I've seen this."

When Zhou Wen has free time, he would occasionally glance at the World Trade Channel to see if there were any spices like chili peppers, ginger, or garlic seeds, hoping to improve his meals.

But none of these spice seeds appeared, and he had never seen cotton seeds before. He never expected to find them himself.

Zhou Wen glanced at the wooden platform he had been using as a bed. He actually had the blueprints for a wooden bed, but there was no difference between sleeping on a wooden bed and sleeping on a wooden platform, so there was no need to go through the trouble.

Now that cotton seeds have been obtained, once planted, cotton can be harvested. After stockpiling some cotton, quilts can be made, and living conditions will improve once again.

However, it will take a long time before the cotton yield is sufficient to make quilts. Zhou Wen was not too excited. He simply planted the cotton seeds in a small planting box and added a small amount of low-grade fertilizer.

"I hope that once the seeds mature, we can provide more to expand the planting area."

Next, he continued to wait for the supply crates to arrive. During this time, Zhou Wen lay on the wooden platform and read a novel in the world chat channel for an hour. A stranger, a survivor, sent him a trade message.

They were looking to trade white-scaled fish meat with Zhou Wen, and the other party presented Zhou Wen with a type of creature meat he had never seen before—a squid tentacle. According to the other party, it could increase one's physique.

It only adds a little bit to his constitution, which is slightly less than the two points of constitution gained from the white-scaled fish meat, but Zhou Wen didn't care and directly chose to trade with the other party.

After getting the squid tentacles, Zhou Wen opened the biological encyclopedia to take a look.

Bearded Squid

Body length: 2 meters

Weight: 200 kg

Food type: Algae

Description: A type of squid with many tentacles that resemble whiskers; it is edible.

The bio-information was simple, but it mentioned that the squid was edible. Since Zhou Wen was currently unable to start a fire to cook, he simply ate the squid tentacles.

[Ding! Consumed a bearded squid, Constitution +1.]
