Chapter 6

Ye Yuan searched the seabed for a while and soon found some golden pomfrets, about twenty of them. 520 official website

The golden pomfret, priced between 10-20 yuan per catty. It is a relatively common economic fish species and can already be farmed artificially in coastal provinces and cities.

Although this fish looks similar to the silver pomfret, they are actually two different species. Its back and fins are yellow, while the silver pomfret is white. Moreover, due to the smaller number of silver pomfrets, their price is higher.

"I'll use you for the experiment." Ye Yuan quickly swam to the group of golden pomfrets. As he locked onto them, the twenty or so golden pomfrets suddenly disappeared from the sea. However, an event that followed left Ye Yuan standing dumbfounded in the water.

As the golden pomfrets disappeared, a cold mechanical voice sounded in Ye Yuan's ears.

"Detected an item that can be exchanged for points. Do you want to exchange it?"

"What? What the hell is this?" Ye Yuan was stunned and couldn't react.

Just as Ye Yuan was dazed, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"Detected an item that can be exchanged for points. Do you want to exchange it?"

In front of Ye Yuan, two virtual buttons, "Yes" and "No," appeared. Ye Yuan clicked on one of them randomly.

"Yes"

"Congratulations on discovering a golden pomfret, earning 1 point!"

"Congratulations on discovering a golden pomfret, earning 2 points!"

"Congratulations on discovering a golden pomfret, earning 1 point!"

"Congratulations on discovering a golden pomfret, earning 2 points!"

...

After a series of prompts, the sea returned to its original state.

Ye Yuan quickly returned to the boat. He wanted to figure out what that voice was about, and it must be related to his reef space.

Entering the reef space, Ye Yuan noticed that the originally blank stone tablet in the middle of the reef now had two lines of text, which he could understand.

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 23 points

Ye Yuan looked at the stone tablet. "What's going on? Could this space be a high-tech item?"

"Answering your question requires 50 points. Insufficient points, unable to answer." The cold mechanical voice sounded again.

"Is this an intelligent system?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

"Yes," the mechanical voice responded.

Ye Yuan looked at the stone tablet again.

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 13 points

"Damn, two words cost me 10 points. That's too much. I have to try it again."

"Can you tell me your origin?"

"Answering your question requires 100 points. Insufficient points, unable to answer."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan was speechless. However, he at least knew that the origin of this space could be figured out.

Ye Yuan didn't think much more and directly exited the space, returning to the seabed.

This time, when he returned to the seabed, Ye Yuan transformed into a seabed bulldozer. Whatever marine life was around him, he collected it into the space and converted it into points.

"Congratulations on discovering a swimming crab, earning 0.5 points!"

"Congratulations on discovering a sea bass, earning 2.5 points!"

"Congratulations on discovering a threadfin bream, earning 2 points!"

"Congratulations on discovering a grouper, earning 2 points!"

"Congratulations on discovering a mackerel, earning 3 points!"

...

In his frenzied capturing, Ye Yuan found an answer. The number of points was not related to the value of the fish. The high-point fish were simply larger in size, meaning the points were based on the size of the fish, not their value.

This made Ye Yuan feel a bit more at ease. He also discovered that if he clicked "No," the fish would be placed in the space's ocean and not converted into points by the system.

After continuous capturing for half a day, Ye Yuan's points finally reached 815. He stopped capturing.

Returning to the space, through questioning the system, Ye Yuan roughly understood the origin of this space.

The stone bead he obtained came from a place called the Wasteland Star.

The distance between the Wasteland Star and Ye Yuan's home planet, the Blue Star, was unknown. The system was actually an artificial intelligence.

The stone bead was a portable fish farm from the Wasteland Star. This technologically advanced planet had long achieved spatial privatization.

Spatial privatization meant purchasing a piece of space through currency and then using technology to install this independent space into a piece of jewelry for easy carrying.

Of course, the spaces sold were not within the Wasteland Star itself. Most were discovered on new planets and auctioned off by the discoverers. These independent spaces were similar to the dimensional spaces in cultivation novels.

This fish farm space was far more complex than what Ye Yuan saw. The reef was not just a simple reef. It had transformed into its current state mainly because the intelligent management system needed energy.

The intelligent system could not obtain energy from the outside world and could only get it from within the fish farm.

The intelligent system had been managing the fish farm for an unknown period of time, converting the fish, plants, and ocean within the farm into energy to sustain itself.

"The Water Control Technique" was accidentally obtained by the previous system owner, who then threw it into the system and never returned to the fish farm space. Ye Yuan believed that the owner must have encountered some kind of accident.

According to the system, any item could be converted into energy. The unit of energy was system points. With sufficient energy, the space could continuously benefit Ye Yuan.

The exchange of energy had certain requirements. Although all matter could be converted into energy, there were differences. For example, when Ye Yuan first obtained the fish farm space, he brought in a few items, but their combined points were less than 0.01, so the system did not give any prompts.

Taking mineral water as an example, a bottle of mineral water was worth about 0.001 points, meaning 1000 bottles of mineral water were needed to earn 1 point.

A common sea fish, as long as it weighed one catty, could earn 1 point.

A common one-catty sea fish cost less than 10 yuan. 1000 bottles of mineral water cost about 1000 yuan, even for the cheaper ones.

Therefore, the current task was to find as many items as possible that could be exchanged for energy.

Comparing which items were more suitable for exchange, there were many options, such as electricity, gasoline, and other common energy sources on the Blue Star. If these energy sources could be exchanged for energy and had a higher cost-effectiveness than fish, that would be ideal.

After all, the fishing industry in China was not in good shape. Ye Yuan believed that this fish farm space would not be satisfied with just a little bit of fish. If it consumed several tons in a year, it might not be a problem, but what about hundreds or thousands of tons? Would that have serious consequences for the country's fishing industry?

After understanding the capabilities of the fish farm space, Ye Yuan was no longer worried about not catching enough fish.

In just half a day, he managed to catch 800 catties of fish, and that was just in the nearby waters.
