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

After the feeding phase ended, Zhou Wen asked Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin about their situations, as well as the number of guild members who had died.

Jiang Haitao encountered two anchor worms, but they didn't come together, so he easily killed both of them.

Chen Xin encountered two at once, but with her 13 points of strength, dealing with two was still easy as long as she paid attention. After five rounds of feeding, she killed three in total.

The number of deaths in their guilds is not too bad, about the same as yesterday.

[Please compile a list of those who have made significant contributions to the guild and survived an encounter with the Anchor Worm.]

Although Zhou Wen planned to have guild members start planting fruit, given the current daily mortality rate, guild members could die at any time from encountering anchor worms, so small planting boxes definitely couldn't be distributed indiscriminately.

It is essential to select individuals capable of surviving anchor worm attacks to ensure that the small planting boxes can truly function effectively.

[Brother Wen, I've tallied up 30 people. Is there anything we need them to do?]

I'm planning to have them plant fruit trees tomorrow. Promise them some rewards so they won't just take the fruit and run away.

[Reward? Would a spiked helmet work?]

No, these people who survived the anchor worm attack most likely had spiked helmets.

Get them some weapons. Try buying from the other guild leaders; they should be willing to trade, especially since you still have the spiked helmet.

Okay, Brother Wen.

[By the way, set a daily task for the guild: have each member submit 100 portions of seaweed every day. You can't just join a guild and do nothing but wait to get spiked helmets, right?]

What should we do with all this seaweed? We collected 20 portions; there's too much, and we don't have anywhere to store it.

"This is indeed a problem."

Zhou Wen frowned. He could send the 20 copies of Jiang Haitao's food directly to him today. For some reason, the phasing Leviathan did not eat today. As a symbiote, he could not ignore it. How could a child not eat?

But he couldn't feed the Transformed Leviathan every day after that. However, he had a guess: if he traded a lot of seaweed to feed the Transformed Leviathan, would the Transformed Leviathan still eat?

If you can't eat, then this information that guarantees your safety is worth taking advantage of.

[Give me today's share, we'll deal with the 20 tomorrow. If all else fails, we'll give them as rewards to the guild members who contributed the most, telling them to eat more seaweed when they transform into Leviathans to speed up their growth.]

【okay, got it. 】

After finishing her conversation with Jiang Haitao, Chen Xin also sent a list of people in her guild who met the requirements. There were 50 people in her guild, more than in Jiang Haitao's guild.

Zhou Wen also told Chen Xin that her guild members needed to grow fruit.

【Huh? Mr. Zhou, this isn't fair. You just gave me these small planting boxes yesterday, and you're already giving them out for free tomorrow?】

[I was thinking that such delicious fruit, exclusively for our guild, could be given as a reward to guild members, letting them know how strong the guild is and giving them a greater sense of belonging.]

[This doesn't conflict with anything. They need to harvest everything they grow, and then give most of it to me. You can keep some for yourself, use it as a reward, or trade it with other guilds.]

[How can that be the same? Taking money from them and then rewarding them is different from not rewarding them at all.]

Similarly, from another perspective, the small planting boxes are very important. Giving them the planting boxes for free is a form of reward, and it also carries a sense of trust in them as they shoulder a significant responsibility for the guild.

[You should paint a rosy picture for them, telling them they're all future core members of the guild.]

[By the way, mention the member who submitted the wooden house blueprints separately. Give him two small planting boxes and publicize his contribution to the guild.]

Once he successfully grows and submits the fruit, he can receive the ultimate reward: a fishbone knife. This will set a good example for other members and motivate them to submit their blueprints.

Um... okay.

Afterwards, Zhou Wen also had Chen Xin set up a daily task in the guild: each person had to submit 100 portions of seaweed every day. Today's 50,000 portions were to be submitted to him first.

After thinking for a moment, he sent Chen Xin a manure scoop and a compost bin, along with the method for making basic fertilizer.

Wow! Why is Boss Zhou suddenly being so kind, sending over the basic fertilizer making method and tools for free?

I'm a very good person to my own people. I even gave you such a good thing as the Boiling Blood Coral Powder, which shows how much I trust you.

Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhou. When will the small planting boxes arrive? I'll offer them some initial promises today.

[I can't give you the small planting box; it can't be given to you openly. You need to trade with Jiang Haitao.]

What happened to the trust we were promised? You heartless boss.

[Don't interrupt. You got the small planting box and low-level fertilizer from him; those were the bargaining chips in your deal. Your two guilds are officially in a cooperative relationship.]

[From now on, if the two of you possess the same items, such as fishbone knives, boiling blood coral powder, small planting boxes, or other rare items, it will be reasonably explained to outsiders.]

Um... okay, but is it really necessary to be this cautious?

[Never mind me, I just like hiding in corners and crawling in the shadows.]

【…………。】

After talking with Chen Xin, it was almost time for the supply crate. At that moment, the esophageal diaphragm opened, and seawater rushed in. After the seawater receded, Zhou Wen saw another supply crate with silver trim.

"Is today going to be all silver-edged supply crates?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.

Just as Zhou Wen was about to open the silver-rimmed supply box, the childish voice of the transformed Leviathan rang out.

"I'm so hungry. I haven't found anything to eat today, and there are so many good things I can't look for. I need to leave here quickly and find something to eat."

Upon hearing this thought, Zhou Wen felt a surge of energy.

"Hey, wait! The food will be here soon, don't miss any of the good stuff." Zhou Wen hurriedly urged Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin.

Soon, 25 portions of seaweed were gradually delivered. This time, Zhou Wen didn't need to carry them. He simply stood in front of the digestion pool, and with a thought, all the seaweed fell into the digestion pool.

"Huh?" Leviathan's voice sounded in confusion. He hadn't eaten anything, so how did he suddenly feel full?

However, the Leviathan Transformer didn't think much of it. Since he was full, he decided to digest first, so the Leviathan Transformer temporarily stopped the activity.

"Now that you've digested it, you'd better look for some good stuff." Zhou Wen said with a smile, then walked to the silver-rimmed supply box and opened it.

[Ding! Obtained stone foundation blueprints.]

"Fuck!"
