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

After putting all eight fertilizer clumps into the supply box, Zhou Wen put the supply box away, then picked up the two clumps on the ground and walked to the small planting box.

A portion of fertilizer is about the size of a fist, dark green in color, and feels like mud. It has a foul odor, but because it has been processed, the odor is no longer as pungent as before.

Zhou Wen didn't know exactly how to use it, so he tried putting the fertilizer ball into the soil in the small planting box.

As soon as the fertilizer clumps came into contact with the soil, they melted into a dark green liquid, just like a snowball hitting a flame, and seeped directly into the soil.

"This must be a successful fertilization. It's quite convenient." Zhou Wen smiled happily and used a lump of fertilizer as well.

Then I took two bottles of mineral water and watered the two small planting boxes respectively.

The watermelon was planted on the fourth day and the sweet potato on the fifth day. When they were planted, we only watered them with half a bottle of water. Today is the seventh day, and the watermelon vines and sweet potato vines have grown bigger. Half a bottle of water is definitely not enough, so we have to water them with a whole bottle.

"It seems like we don't have enough fresh water." Zhou Wen looked at the two empty plastic bottles in his hand, then turned to look at the seven bottles of mineral water left.

Zhou Wen isn't worried about drinking water now; if all else fails, he can use the algae oxygenation tank to exchange for mineral water.

However, if he continues to irrigate his crops with mineral water, it will be difficult for him to expand his farming scale, because mineral water can currently only be obtained by opening supply boxes, and it also depends on luck.

This means that mineral water cannot be obtained through large-scale trading. After all, we cannot produce fresh water ourselves at present, and fresh water is closely related to life. Everyone will prioritize storing some fresh water, and only trade any surplus.

"Forget it, I'm thinking too far ahead. I don't have any extra space to make small planting boxes right now."

The wooden platform Zhou Wen built was only 6 square meters. Two small planting boxes took up two square meters, a compost bin took up one square meter, then there were stacks of supply boxes, and the rest was his sleeping space.

The algae oxygenation tank is made of stone, so there's no need to worry about it being washed away by seawater. It's placed at the bottom, and the scooping spoon doesn't take up much space. It's placed horizontally on the platform near the stomach wall.

So currently, he wants to cultivate more land, but there's no space for him to do so.

As for adding a wooden platform, that's definitely not an option. The stomach wall space is already small, and expanding the area of ​​the wooden platform would affect the Leviathan's ability to eat.

"Baby weighing 180 tons, grow up quickly!"

Zhou Wen muttered to himself as he opened the biological encyclopedia in the world system, flipping to the first page. He wanted to see if the transformed Leviathan had grown up after so many days.

Age: 7 day

Stage: Birth period

Body length: 35 meters

Weight: 200 tons

Food type: Algae

Feeding method: Filter feeding

Evaluation: A 200-ton baby.

"It has grown to 5 meters, and its growth rate is quite fast, about one meter a day."

Today is only the beginning, so it can't be counted as one day. In six days, it has grown 5 meters. This growth rate is simply beyond the realm of reason.

“Growth rate is also important, but food fragments for accelerating the growth of the Leviathan are too scarce.” Zhou Wen only has three fragments, and it will be difficult to collect them all in a short time.

"Once the algae oxygenation tanks are on sale for a few days, and some people are able to open three supply boxes a day, the fragments should increase."

As Zhou Wen spoke calmly, the sound of churning seawater came from his esophagus, indicating that the Leviathan had entered the feeding phase.

Zhou Wen quickly put on four spiked armors and held a meter-long fishbone knife in his hand to guard against any potential dangers.

With a whoosh, seawater rushed into the stomach wall space. Zhou Wen arrived near the small planting box and, using the light emitted by the coccidia and his headlamp, tried to expand his field of vision in this dark space.

Zhou Wen half-squatted on the ground, contracting his chest and abdomen, holding the fishbone knife horizontally in front of his chest to protect his unarmed upper body.

After waiting a short while and seeing no signs of life in the water, Zhou Wen breathed a slight sigh of relief. He opened the system blueprint interface and began to build the algae oxygenation tank, only to find that he only had 10 stones left.

There were originally only 210 stones, but after making 20 algae aeration tanks yesterday, there are only 10 stones left.

Zhou Wen remained calm, took out 10 portions of spiky krill meat from the supply box, and then traded stones in the trading channel.

Now that many survivors have encountered Spiky Krill, the value of Spiky Krill meat has decreased significantly. However, it is still a three- or four-pound piece of meat, so it still has some value as food. Each serving of Spiky Krill meat can still be traded for 20 stones.

Soon, Zhou Wen obtained 200 stones through trading. With the 10 stones he had on him, he manufactured 21 machines in one go. Adding the 9 machines left over from yesterday, he made a total of 30 machines.

Having completed the construction of the algae oxygenation tanks for sale today, Zhou Wen now has one-third of the stomach wall space occupied. He must sell these algae oxygenation tanks before the Leviathan of Illusionary Power feeds for the second time.

Once the tide had receded and Zhou Wen was completely certain that his meal had not been carried by any aggressive creatures, he began sending messages on the world chat channel.

[You've all been waiting for this for a while, so I won't waste any more time. We're now selling algae aeration tanks, 20 units per day.]

Why are there only 20 units?

Yeah, that's way too little!

I knew from the beginning that algae aeration tanks weren't something everyone could trade. I thought I could sell a hundred a day, but I only managed 20.

Are you deliberately selling such a small quantity to try and raise the price?

I think he just wants to stay ahead by selling too many units, afraid we'll overtake him, which is why he's selling so few.

…………

After Zhou Wen announced the total number of items to be sold each day, the survivors in the world chat channel immediately went wild, as the quantity was far too small.

[Please calm down, everyone. I didn't intentionally sell so few; I simply have no other way to increase the quantity.]

[The algae oxygenation tank, as the name suggests, requires algae to create; the seaweed that the Transcendent Leviathan eats is one such material.]

If I were to manufacture them in large quantities, it would consume a huge amount of seaweed, which would affect the growth of the Transformation Leviathan. In this world, the Transformation Leviathan is our very foundation. I want to ask you all, if you were in my shoes, would you be willing to do that?

After Zhou Wen asked this question, most of the survivors who wanted to increase the number stopped sending messages. Of course, there were still some extremely selfish people who still wanted Zhou Wen to increase the number.

Zhou Wen simply ignored these people. After all, he was the one who manufactured the algae aeration tank, and the initiative was in his hands. If everyone forced him to manufacture them in large quantities and damaged his interests, he would simply refuse to sell them, and no one would be able to obtain the algae aeration tank.

I know everyone is in a hurry, and I understand your feelings. Although I can't provide a sufficient quantity, I will definitely offer you a reasonable price.

What's the price?

[Hopefully, considering our shared suffering in this world, the price won't be too high.]
