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

Mr. Zhou was very sincere, and the transaction went smoothly.

[Hehe, Miss Chen, how would you like to proceed with the transaction?]

[Listed in the trading channel.]

What about private transactions?

[Mr. Zhou probably doesn't have ten extra algae-generating tanks right now, does he?]

"Indeed, no. What I mean is, I hope Miss Chen can trade the Golden Thread Fruit to me in advance. As for the other items in the transaction, I will provide them later."

Mr. Zhou is joking.

I'm not joking. I know Miss Chen is worried I won't keep my word, but from my transactions with other people these past few days, you should be able to see that I'm very trustworthy.

This golden silk fruit is quite important to me, and I'd like to get it as soon as possible. I'll trade you a set of spiked armor and two wooden platforms first, and I'll get the rest as soon as possible.

Is the fishbone blade currently unavailable for production?

The fishbone blade is made from the spine of a one-meter-long fish; you should know how rare it is.

After a moment's hesitation, Chen Xin decided to agree to Zhou Wen's request to expedite the transaction. She had been observing Zhou Wen for some time and found that although he had a shrewd businessman's air about him, his transactions were generally fair.

[If you add two more algae aeration tanks, I'll agree to expedite the golden thread fruit trade for you.]

Yes, there are twelve in total.

Zhou Wen then immediately crafted all the items: Spiked Breastplate, Spiked Legplate, Spiked Boots, Spiked Groin Guard, Spiked Wristguards, Spiked Helmet, and Spiked Belt, consuming a total of 38 shrimp shells.

With seven spiked pieces of equipment and two wooden platforms, a trade request was sent, and the Golden Silk Fruit from Chen Xin was successfully traded away.

We hope Mr. Zhou will keep his promise.

Don't worry, I understand that people need to be trustworthy to achieve mutual benefit.

After the transaction with Chen Xin ended, Zhou Wen looked at the golden silk fruit in his hand with excitement, his face showing a look of ecstasy.

Zhou Wen was so happy not because the Golden Thread Fruit could increase strength by five points, but because the introduction to the Golden Thread Fruit mentioned that it was the seed of Golden Thread Seaweed.

When Zhou Wen saw this introduction, he was already unable to contain his excitement, but in order to prevent the clever Chen Xin from noticing anything amiss, he kept arguing with Chen Xin until now.

"It seems that the blueprints found in the supply crates are all useful, but it's just not the right time yet."

Zhou Wen sighed, opened the system interface, flipped to the blueprint interface and looked at the blueprint for the [Seaweed Planting Box], his smile widening.

"Build it!" Zhou Wen ordered without hesitation.

The seaweed planting box is made of 20 stones. Zhou Wen looked at the stones piled up in the corner and realized that he had no shortage of stones now.

Then the world system didn't respond. Zhou Wen took another look at the blueprint for the seaweed planting box. Well, it still needs seawater. He could only build it when the second supply box arrived.

Zhou Wen carefully put the Golden Thread Fruit away. Although Chen Xin did not say how she obtained the Golden Thread Fruit, according to the description of the Golden Thread Fruit, it is the seed of Golden Thread Seaweed, which means that Chen Xin encountered Golden Thread Seaweed.

Chen Xin previously only had one algae oxygenation tank, which made the seaweed transporting process relatively slow. Based on the time Chen Xin contacted him for the transaction, it was roughly some time after the seaweed transport was completed.

In other words, the golden seaweed was not obtained from a supply crate, but rather it was a special variety of seaweed that Chen Xin happened to encounter.

"As expected, when it comes to luck, I'm just unlucky."

There wasn't much else to do, so I continued to lie on the wooden platform and wait for the second supply crate.

Two or three hours later, the esophageal diaphragm opened, seawater rushed in, and the second supply box arrived, but this time there were creatures in the seawater.

Zhou Wen hid behind the algae oxygenation tank, then opened the blueprint interface and created the seaweed planting box.

When the tide receded, Zhou Wen heard a familiar "plop" sound. He shone his light on it and saw a band of light hopping around – it was a mirror-skinned barracuda.

Knowing that the creature in the water was a mirror barracuda, Zhou Wen felt relieved and jumped off the wooden platform to check the seaweed planting boxes he had built.

The seaweed cultivation box is actually a replica of the algae oxygenation tank, only twice the size. It is a stone tank that is one meter long, wide, and high, filled with seawater, and with a large number of small stones piled at the bottom.

Zhou Wen was initially puzzled as to where the golden thread fruit would be planted since there was no soil in the materials used to make the seaweed planting box. However, upon seeing the small stones piled up at the bottom, he realized that these small stones were the planting area.

Zhou Wen dug a small hole in the pile of stones, carefully placed the golden thread fruit into the hole, and then gently covered it with stones.

"I wonder how long it takes for the golden seaweed to mature and bear fruit?" Based on the fact that the golden seaweed fruit can increase strength by five points, the growth time should not be short, at least longer than that of watermelons and sweet potatoes.

Thinking of watermelons and sweet potatoes, Zhou Wen thought of the low-grade fertilizer that had just been made, but he didn't know if the low-grade fertilizer could be used to fertilize the golden seaweed.

"Forget it, let's wait until the golden silk fruit sprouts first."

The golden silk fruit has been planted. Zhou Wen found the second supply box for the day and opened it.

[Ding! You have gained 1 equipment slots.]

"Equipment slots?" Zhou Wen was stunned by what he had just received, and then he saw a notification appear on his character attribute panel.

Zhou Wen opened the character attribute interface and found a blue box next to the character attribute panel.

[Equipment Slot: You can store one piece of equipment or a weapon in this slot.]

Zhou Wen clicked on the blue box, and a prompt appeared in his mind, which also made Zhou Wen understand the function of the equipment slot.

Zhou Wen tried to put the spiked breastplate into his equipment slot. After a flash of blue light, the spiked armor appeared in his equipment slot. Then, with a thought in his mind, the spiked breastplate appeared on his body.

"This is good stuff!" Zhou Wen exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Wen was certainly familiar with the equipment slots, having been a gamer for over a decade. However, the fact that he could use the equipment slots in this world surprised him greatly.

However, each equipment slot can only hold one piece of armor or weapon. And after trying it, I found that you can't accept anything other than equipment, such as food, water, basic materials, etc. You can only accept armor and weapons.

"It seems that this equipment slot can be obtained multiple times."

Each equipment slot can only hold one piece of equipment. Zhou Wen currently has seven pieces of spiked armor, plus the fishbone knife, making it eight pieces of equipment. Therefore, you need to collect as many pieces of equipment as possible, as having only one is not very useful.

After playing with the equipment slots for a while, Zhou Wen processed the Mirror Skin Barracuda, divided the fish meat into three pieces, and put them on the trade channel to exchange for equipment slots. However, Zhou Wen felt that the chances of getting them were slim, but he still gave it a try.

The fish bones were used to make fishbone blades, and then the fishbone blades that he had used were traded to Chen Xin, while he used new ones.
