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

[Brother Wen, should my guild step in and put this guy surnamed Wang in check?]

At this moment, Jiang Haitao sent a message. The person surnamed Wang he mentioned was the survivor who had just obtained the second [Algae Oxygenation Tank Blueprint]. His name was Wang Xuan.

[No need, it can't be suppressed. The algae aeration tank is the most basic and important piece of equipment. As long as Wang Xuan doesn't rashly raise the price, it's impossible to suppress it.]

[There are a lot of people criticizing you, Brother Wen.]

It doesn't matter, just ignore them.

By the way, you could try contacting Wang Xuan and see if you can recruit him into the guild.

【Huh? We need to recruit him into the guild?】

Jiang Haitao knew that he was only alive now and even became the leader of a certain association because of Zhou Wen's support; otherwise, he might have starved to death. Therefore, he couldn't stand Wang Xuan, who had taken Zhou Wen's position.

Yes, the algae oxygenation tank is a powerful tool for consolidating a guild. Whoever obtains Wang Xuan's resources will develop into the strongest and most stable guild.

[That's not an exaggeration, is it? I think only by following Brother Wen can we develop the guild into the strongest guild.]

[Haha, you've learned how to flatter, haven't you? Well, you have good taste, but you still need to put on a show. Other guilds will definitely invite Wang Xuan, and you and Chen Xin can't be absent.]

[Understood, Brother Wen.]

After talking with Jiang Haitao, Chen Xin also sent a message, asking if she should recruit Wang Xuan into the guild. Zhou Wen naturally told her to recruit Wang Xuan into the guild.

Soon, today's weight training ended, and it was almost time for the second supply box.

[Ding! You have obtained 10 stones, 10 sand, and 10 hay.]

The second supply box contained basic materials, which Zhou Wen immediately put away.

At this time, in the world chat channel, the invitations from various guilds to Wang Xuan were nearing their end. In the end, Wang Xuan did not join any guild, but instead created his own guild called "Number One Under Heaven" Guild.

This approach is clearly the right one. Why should someone who owns extremely valuable blueprints work as a subordinate for another guild? Wouldn't it be better to just establish your own guild and become the leader?

However, the name of this guild is a bit too high-profile. Zhou Wen, who prefers to keep a low profile, frowned when he saw it. Although Wang Xuan has the blueprint for the algae oxygenation tank and is worthy of the name, as a rising star, what do you think other guilds are by choosing such a name?

Moreover, Wang Xuan used algae oxygenation tanks as a form of advertising, offering free algae oxygenation tanks to members of the "Number One Under Heaven" guild by submitting 300 sets of basic materials, with guild members also receiving priority access to their second tank at half price.

They then explained that the previously mentioned unlimited supply of algae oxygenation tanks was impossible. Although seaweed could be traded, seawater was rationed, and even if seawater was traded, an unlimited supply was not possible because people's time was limited.

Finally, Wang Xuan set a target of selling one thousand units per day.

This limited edition immediately snatched up a lot of members from other guilds, because many guilds were established using weapon or armor blueprints as a form of publicity, which was completely outclassed by the Algae Oxygen Tank.

If Wang Xuan didn't limit the number of algae oxygenation tanks, it would be fine, as guild members could trade them among themselves. However, once the number is limited, and joining the "Number One Under Heaven" guild not only gives you algae oxygenation tanks but also allows you to trade a second one at half price, many people will no longer be able to stay in their original guilds.

The "Number One Under Heaven" guild had just been established when it made enemies of all the other guilds. However, the other guilds couldn't do anything about Wang Xuan. The algae oxygenation tank was everything, and the major guilds wanted to buy it in large quantities. They couldn't say anything to Wang Xuan, but instead congratulated him on establishing his guild and tried to improve relations.

More than 20 members of Chen Xin's "Survivor" guild were also robbed, all of whom were new members who joined today. The guild has members dying almost every day, so there are survivors who meet the requirements joining the guild every day.

Jiang Haitao's "Jiang Ge" guild lost about 30 members, all of whom were newcomers. Compared to Chen Xin, this was a small number, considering that "Jiang Ge" guild had a total of 2,000 members, while Chen Xin's "Survivor" guild only had 500.

The main reason is that Jiang Ge's guild also has the powerful tool [Spike Helmet Blueprint], which is comparable to the Algae Oxygen Tank. One is a life-saving tool, and the other increases the number of daily supply boxes, both of which are very important for survivors.

However, even Jiang Haitao's guild managed to steal more than 30 people, so it goes without saying that other guilds could easily steal 100 or 200 people. The guild that lost the most people was Zhao Teng's "Soaring" guild.

Zhao Teng originally had no restrictions on recruiting people, and those who joined hardly had to pay any price, so a lot of people left. In one fell swoop, more than 2,000 people left the guild of 3,000.

Zhao Teng was almost driven mad with anger. After finally starting to develop his business, two-thirds of the members left at once because the "Number One Under Heaven" guild was recruiting.

What's even more infuriating is that the "Number One Under Heaven" guild only recruited 3 people, and there were conditions for joining. Very few people who left Zhao Teng's guild met the conditions, and soon after leaving the guild, they all came back.

However, Zhao Teng didn't say anything. He would accept them again as long as they came back. After all, these people were just there to get seaweed for free. Their loyalty didn't matter, as long as they were willing to hand over the seaweed.

He only needs to ensure that the upper echelons of the guild who can benefit from his actions will follow him; the behavior of the lower-level members is completely irrelevant.

[Mr. Zhou, I've encountered a mirror-skinned barracuda. ​​Should I hand it over?]

No need, you can trade it yourself or use it as a reward for guild members.

What about the fish bones and skin?

Hand over the fish skin; keep the fish bones for yourself.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment, and since Chen Xin had started encountering mirror-skinned barracudas, he might as well give her the [Fishbone Blade Blueprint]. Anyway, he now had a better toothed knife and an iron greatsword, so the fishbone blade was no longer of any use to him.

After Chen Xin sent over the fish skin, Zhou Wen sent over the [Fishbone Blade Blueprint].

From now on, you'll make your own fishbone knives, but you need to let me know who you're selling them to.

Okay, thank you, boss.

Actually, the fish skin wasn't very useful. Maybe it could be sold as a mirror in the future. Zhou Wen just accepted it as a token gift.

Two or three hours later, the third supply box of the day arrived. Zhou Wen opened it and found some basic materials, which he then put away.

Overall, the transformation into Leviathan went relatively smoothly today, without being chased by giant creatures, but Zhou Wen had a terrible time, encountering both bacteria and parasites.

Furthermore, someone produced a second blueprint for an algae oxygenation tank, which ruined his reputation.

However, Zhou Wen doesn't particularly value his reputation. In the beginning, he had no choice but to step forward, so he needed a good reputation. Now that his reputation is gone, he wants to truly fade out of people's sight and hide in the shadows.
