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

Hearing the same notification sound in his mind again, Zhou Wen froze.

"It actually works that you can add attribute points repeatedly!" Zhou Wen was shocked. He couldn't wait to reach for the last stone fruit to see if he could add more points.

But at the moment he picked the rock fruit, Zhou Wen hesitated. This plant was a good thing, and the rock fruit was also a seed.

Judging from the location where this plant is growing, its growing conditions should require the excrement of rock worms. He has already dug up all the excrement and can now go back and plant it himself.

So Zhou Wen collected the last stone fruit and then dug the plant out of the manure pile.

The plant's roots were also made of crystal. Zhou Wen was very careful when digging, but fortunately the plant was rooted in soft mud, so digging was not difficult and the plant's crystal roots were not damaged.

After some time, all the remaining rock worm excrement was excavated, thus completing the cave treasure hunt.

Upon returning, Zhou Wen did the same as before: first, he tied the gold-rimmed supply box to his back with a strip of cloth, then took off his spiked helmet and temporarily planted the rock crystal tree inside it.

The spiked helmet's three upright spikes had broken off during the previous battle with the Rock-Hiding Worm, and now they're being used as a temporary container for the Rock Crystal Tree.

And so, with the gold-plated supply box on his back and his helmet in one hand, Zhou Wen, guided by the Leviathan appearing in his mind, navigated precisely through the forks in the road and finally climbed out of the cave he had come from.

"Phew~, I'm finally back." Zhou Wen subconsciously looked up and saw only darkness. Confirming that he was back inside the mouth of the illusory Leviathan, he felt relieved.

Having entered a safe environment, Zhou Wen stored his armor and weapons in the supply box, then easily passed through his esophagus and returned to the space inside his stomach wall.

Looking at the stomach wall space with its faint light, Zhou Wen felt as if he had returned to another world. His experience in the cave had been quite depressing, but thankfully he was back now.

"The little one is finally back! Time to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

The voice of the phasic Leviathan rang out at this moment, and then the entire stomach wall space began to vibrate. The phasic Leviathan began to move, probably looking for a suitable place to rest.

Upon hearing the voice of the illusory Leviathan, Zhou Wen smiled faintly on his tired face. He was also sleepy; the encounter in the cave had exhausted him.

However, it wasn't time to sleep yet. Zhou Wen first put the rock crystal tree in his hand somewhere, and then put the iron ingots and glass from the gold-plated supply box into the storage cabinet.

Finally, I went to Jiang Haitao and asked for the Boiling Blood Coral, the small aquarium, and a bunch of Rockworm feces that I had given him that day.

[Brother Wen, are you done with your business?]

After Jiang Haitao sent everything to Zhou Wen, he also sent over the blueprints for the spiked helmet. Zhou Wen received the blueprints and made a new spiked helmet for himself.

[Yes, it's all done. I've left the stomach wall space today.]

[Huh? It's left the stomach wall space?]

For a moment, Jiang Haitao's mind went blank, and he didn't quite understand what Zhou Wen meant.

So Zhou Wen told Jiang Haitao about his experience in the treasure cave that day, but omitted the two blueprints he had obtained, the [Iron Greatsword] and the [Fishbone Armor], as well as the matter of transforming into Leviathan's inner voice.

[Treasure Cave! Giant Worm!]

Jiang Haitao was shocked after hearing Zhou Wen's story. The fear and despair of encountering a giant creature in a dark, narrow, and damp cave, with no way to escape, made him feel suffocated just thinking about it.

[Brother Wen, are you... alright?]

[There were no serious injuries, just scratches. Luckily, the illusionary Leviathan helped, otherwise it would have been dangerous.]

Zhou Wen still feels a chill run down his spine when he recalls the scene of using more than a dozen wooden shields to defend against the Rock-Hiding Worms.

If you ever encounter a treasure cave in the future, be sure to let me know before you go exploring. I might be able to offer you some assistance.

"Thanks, Brother Wen, but... isn't cave exploration too dangerous? I don't think it's worth the risk."

Jiang Haitao was frightened just by hearing Zhou Wen's account of what happened; how could he dare to go on his own?

"That won't do. In this world of survival, it's all about acquiring resources and blueprints. The treasure caves are full of rare resources. If you choose to back down, you'll forever fall behind others."

Currently, survivors don't encounter each other, but what about in the future? If they do start fighting each other, and you fall behind, I don't need to elaborate on your fate.

Okay... but Wen-ge, you have to help me out then.

Don't worry, that's for sure.

Zhou Wen instructed Jiang Haitao not to mention the treasure cave to anyone else before ending the conversation.

He then used 10 parts stone, 10 parts glass, and 10 parts sand to make a small aquarium.

On his way back from the cave, Zhou Wen hadn't forgotten the gel planarians he'd seen earlier. There were plenty of gel planarians in the waterlogged cave, and he casually caught 10 of them and carried them back in his clothes.

These 10 gel worms are kept in this small aquarium.

However, with the addition of two small aquariums, each occupying one square meter, there was no more room on the wooden platform.

However, the area of ​​the wooden foundation was not easy to expand. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided that since it could not be expanded, it would be better to build on top of it.

Zhou Wen built two wooden foundations on the two wooden platforms where he slept. The wooden foundations were supported by four logs and were hollow in the middle. Zhou Wen could still sleep in the same position as before, but the wooden foundations blocked the space above, making the sleeping space seem smaller.

Two small aquariums were placed on the wooden foundation on the second floor, and Zhou Wen slept in the crevice below.

"The faster I develop, the smaller my living space becomes," Zhou Wen complained, huddled in the little space he had left to sleep.

Before going to sleep, Zhou Wen glanced at the private messages sent to him by various survivors on the system interface. There were tens of thousands of these messages, most of which asked him why he had suddenly stopped selling wooden foundations.

Zhou Wen ignored these private messages. At that time, he had left the stomach space and naturally could not continue making them. If there were no unexpected events tomorrow, he would continue to sell them, so these problems would naturally not be problems.

One of the private messages was from someone asking him to trade for a second algae aeration tank. Zhou Wen glanced at the blueprints the other party was trading for, and they were the same blueprints for chopsticks that he had seen on the world chat channel before.

Zhou Wen immediately sent a private message to the other party and traded back the chopsticks blueprint. He had been very worried about not having chopsticks when he ate a simple hot pot before.

[Chopsticks blueprint: Requires 1 piece of wood.]

After using the chopsticks blueprints, Zhou Wen made the chopsticks directly. After suffering so much today, he wanted to reward himself with a can of fruit preserves.

Open the can of fruit, take a big gulp of the broth first to let the sweetness wash away the day's fatigue, then use your long chopsticks to easily pick up the fruit inside and enjoy it in your mouth.

"Having chopsticks is so convenient, and delicious."
