CHAPTER 92: Raising Firefly Fish
Zhao Hai’s attention was drawn not to anything else but the water ditch in the backyard of Green Stone Manor. The water in that ditch was actually spring water. Although Zhao Hai and the others had made quite a few stone products recently, the ditch remained completely unpolluted and still crystal clear.
However, what attracted Zhao Hai was not the spring water itself, but the creatures within it—firefly fish.
Although Zhao Hai had noticed the firefly fish before, he had never taken them seriously. These fish were too small, and he had been busy with various matters lately, which led him to pay little attention to them.
But just now, when he accidentally turned his screen, he happened to see a firefly fish jumping out of the spring water. This caught Zhao Hai’s interest, and he suddenly remembered that there were these firefly fish at Green Stone Manor.
Zhao Hai had only heard a brief introduction about firefly fish from Galen. He recalled Galen saying that these fish were incredibly delicious and not cheap at all.
The reason Zhao Hai had noticed the firefly fish was that his space had gained a spring, but at the time, his level was below ten, preventing him from opening up the ranch and bringing the firefly fish into the space. Now that he had opened up the ranch, even though there were no specially designated fish ponds, he had a spring, and firefly fish could only be raised in a spring.
Although it was still uncertain whether firefly fish could be raised in the spring within his space, it wouldn’t hurt to try. If they could successfully raise them, it would provide an additional income source. If not, he would only lose a few firefly fish.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai focused his thoughts and appeared in the courtyard of Green Stone Manor. He quickly walked to the edge of the ditch, where the firefly fish were swimming leisurely, undisturbed.
Zhao Hai glanced at the fish with a slight smile, stretched out his hand into the ditch, and then opened the spatial rift, allowing the spring water along with the firefly fish to enter his space.
As soon as the firefly fish entered the space, a prompt sound immediately rang out: “Aquatic fish species, requiring special water quality. Can be used for ornamental purposes and consumption. Flesh is delicate and delicious. Drawback: size is too small. Improved species, species data digitalization, level assessment. Fish species level is a level ten creature. Seedlings can be purchased in space. Mature in fifteen hours, can produce eight times, each time yielding thirty fry. Production intervals are eight hours. Each fish consumes a bit of feed every four hours. Therefore, the survival environment of these fish is special; they are permitted to live in the farm space, and all tools in the spatial ranch can be used on them.”
While Zhao Hai was in a daze, the prompt continued: “Spatial ranch tools connection successful. The host can utilize the main tools available, such as capture tools, which can capture target organisms. To use outside the space, ranch level must be above ten. Note: Effective for all organisms when used outside the space. At level ten, there is a ten percent chance to ignore levels and directly capture into the space. Fly swatter tool can perform single-target attacks. To use outside the space, level must reach ten. Note: Single-target attack capability is extremely strong, ignoring the opponent's evasion. Outside the space, at level ten, there is a ten percent chance for a fatal strike, with attack range not exceeding the spatial monitor range. Formation setting function allows all creatures that have visited the space to follow the host's commands. Can be used for single targets or teams. Feed conversion function converts specified crops into feed.”
Zhao Hai was momentarily stunned, then swiftly moved into the space, but he did not see the firefly fish swimming in the spring.
Immediately, Zhao Hai opened his storage. Sure enough, images of firefly fish appeared, with the number five written below. It seemed he had just acquired five firefly fish into his space.
