Chapter 92: Fire Dace

Zhao Hai noticed not something else, but the water ditch in the backyard of Qing Shi Manor. The water in the ditch was hot spring water. Although Zhao Hai and his group had manufactured a lot of stone products in Qing Shi Manor recently, the water ditch had not been polluted at all, remaining clear to the bottom.

However, what attracted Zhao Hai's attention was not the hot spring water, but the things in the hot spring water, the Fire Dace.

Although Zhao Hai had noticed the Fire Dace before, he had not taken them seriously. These fish were too small, and he had been busy with other things recently, so he had not paid much attention to them.

But just now, when he accidentally turned the screen, he happened to see a Fire Dace jump out of the hot spring water, which immediately caught his attention. Zhao Hai suddenly remembered that there were Fire Dace in Qing Shi Manor.

He had only heard a simple introduction from Green. He remembered that Green said these fish were very delicious and not cheap.

The reason Zhao Hai noticed the Fire Dace was that he had a hot spring in his space. However, at the time when the hot spring appeared in his space, his level was not yet ten, so he could not open the farm and bring the Fire Dace into the space. Now that he had opened the farm, although there was no dedicated pond for raising fish, he had a hot spring, and the Fire Dace could only be raised in a hot spring.

Although it was not yet known whether the Fire Dace could be raised in the hot spring in the space, there was no harm in trying. If he could successfully raise the Fire Dace, they would have an additional source of income. If not, it would only be a loss of a few Fire Dace.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hai's mind moved, and he appeared in the courtyard of Qing Shi Manor. He quickly walked to the water ditch by the courtyard, where the Fire Dace were still swimming leisurely.

Zhao Hai glanced at the Fire Dace, smiled slightly, and reached into the water ditch. He then opened a space crack, allowing the hot spring water and the Fire Dace to enter the space.

As soon as the Fire Dace entered the space, a prompt sounded: "Aquatic fish, with special water quality requirements, can be used for viewing and eating, with delicate and delicious meat. Disadvantage: too small in size. Improved fish, fish data, rated as a level ten creature. Can purchase seedlings in the space, mature in fifteen hours, can reproduce eight times, each time producing thirty fry. Reproduction intervals are eight hours. Each fish consumes one unit of feed every four hours. Therefore, the fish's living environment is special, and they are allowed to survive in the farm space. All tools in the space farm can be used on them."

While Zhao Hai was stunned, the prompt continued: "Space farm tool connection successful. The host can use the main tool, the capture tool, to capture target creatures. To use outside the space, the farm level must be ten or higher. Note: Effective for all creatures outside the space. When used outside the space, there is a ten percent chance of ignoring the level and directly capturing into the space at level ten.

Fly swatter tool, can perform a single attack on target creatures. To use outside the space, the level must be ten or higher. Note: Extremely strong single attack, ignoring the target's evasion. When used outside the space, there is a ten percent chance of a one-hit kill at level ten. The attack range does not exceed the space monitor's range.

Formation setting function, can control all creatures that have been in the space. Can be used on individuals or teams.

Feed conversion function, can convert crops designated by the host into feed."

Zhao Hai was stunned, then immediately entered the space. However, he did not see the Fire Dace swimming in the hot spring in the space.

Zhao Hai immediately opened the warehouse. Sure enough, the image of the Fire Dace appeared in the warehouse, with the number five below it, indicating that he had brought five Fire Dace into the space.

Zhao Hai immediately placed these Fire Dace in the hot spring in the space. Although the temperature of the hot spring was high, it did not seem to affect the Fire Dace, who swam happily.

Zhao Hai then opened the warehouse again. There were quite a few things in his warehouse, including hundreds of thousands of pounds of radish leaves. He had grown so many radishes, and the radish leaves had been left unused, accumulating to a considerable amount.

Without hesitation, Zhao Hai converted a thousand pounds of radish leaves into feed and released it into the hot spring. He really wanted to see what the feed would look like in the hot spring.

As soon as Zhao Hai converted the radish leaves into feed, he saw some red things appear in the hot spring. He was stunned and slowly walked to the edge of the hot spring. He then realized that the hot spring had some red aquatic plants. These plants were very beautiful, bright red, and swayed with the movement of the hot spring water.

In the midst of these red aquatic plants, the Fire Dace were swimming and occasionally eating some of the plants. Seeing this, Zhao Hai immediately understood that these were the feed.

Zhao Hai approved of the space's method of releasing feed. Converting the feed into a living form and letting the fish eat it themselves was a very good method.

Just as Zhao Hai finished these actions, Melin and Meg came out of the villa. Seeing Zhao Hai standing by the hot spring, they both walked over. Before they could speak, they saw the changes in the hot spring.

Previously, there was no life in the hot spring, but now there were aquatic plants and fish. Such a change could not be hidden from them. They both looked at the hot spring in confusion, and Melin asked curiously, "Young Master, what's going on?"

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Nothing, I brought in a few Fire Dace from Qing Shi Manor. These aquatic plants are the feed for the Fire Dace."

Hearing this, Melin was stunned and turned to look at the Fire Dace in the hot spring. Then she was overjoyed and said, "That's great! If we can raise Fire Dace here, we will have another stable source of income."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Yes, it's a good thing. And I forgot to tell you, the Fire Dace can grow into large fish in fifteen hours and start reproducing. Each fish can produce thirty fry at a time, every eight hours, for a total of eight times."

Melin was stunned and then overjoyed. She had never expected this. Fire Dace were very famous on the continent because they were very difficult to raise. Even with hot springs, it was hard to raise them on a large scale. Because of this, Fire Dace were always in short supply on the continent.

Fire Dace were difficult to raise not only because they only lived in hot springs but also because they were very picky eaters. They did not eat most things and were prone to illness, so they were rarely raised.

The reason the Fire Dace in the manor were still alive was that few people came to the manor, and the hot spring water was not polluted. Most importantly, there was a tree in the manor.

The tree in the manor was very famous on the continent, called the White Fruit Tree. It was very tall and did not require much soil to grow. Although it produced white fruit, the fruit was very bitter and produced in small quantities.

Although the Fire Dace were very picky eaters, the roots of the White Fruit Tree were one of their foods. The manor had a large White Fruit Tree with a well-developed root system, some of which extended into the water ditch, naturally becoming food for the Fire Dace, allowing them to survive.

However, because the manor was very cold in winter, many Fire Dace froze to death, so their numbers were always low. The merchant had not been able to raise them successfully, and Zhao Hai had eventually gotten a good deal.

Because Fire Dace were difficult to raise, their price was very high. Even though they only grew to about ten centimeters and weighed about two ounces, a single Fire Dace could sell for at least two gold coins on the continent, and they were in high demand. Most Fire Dace were supplied to the royal family, and even if you had money, you could not buy them.

If oil fruits and rice bamboo were the favorites of the poor on the continent, then Fire Dace were the favorites of the nobles. No matter how many Fire Dace you had, you would never have to worry about selling them.

Zhao Hai was not very familiar with these matters. Although Adam had eaten Fire Dace before, it was rare, and he did not know much about them.

He did not know, but Melin did. Fire Dace were not ordinary creatures. If they could be successfully raised, their income would greatly increase, much faster than growing radishes or oil fruit trees.

Because of this, Melin was very happy when she heard that Fire Dace could be raised in the space. On the continent, only a few places were known to produce Fire Dace, and those places relied on the natural growth of the Fire Dace, not on human cultivation. These places were the fiefs of several major noble families, so ordinary people could not eat Fire Dace.

These major noble families had made a lot of money from Fire Dace, which even the royal family envied. However, these were old noble families, so the royal family could not do much about them.

When Zhao Hai first arrived at Qing Shi Manor and saw the hot spring, he had thought about raising Fire Dace to make money. However, at that time, they did not know much about Qing Shi Manor, and later, he gave up the idea of raising Fire Dace there. Now, he could finally raise them in the space.

Melin looked at the Fire Dace in the hot spring and said happily, "That's great, really great! As long as we can raise Fire Dace, we won't have to worry about money anymore."
