Chapter 0381 Work if You Don't Want to Die

Speaking of which... the work of catching small fish and shrimps with a bucket is really tiring enough, even more tiring than catching big fish.

After all, big fish are caught with nets, and all the fish caught in a net are fish. But Nima... When this bucket goes down, the fish and shrimp are mainly seawater, and the fish and shrimp are only a little bit, but the seawater is heavy!

Moreover, this ship was converted into a yacht, and there were no pulleys or slings on it. Tony could only lift buckets of water out of the sea with his hands.

In the first five or six barrels, Tony was relatively relaxed, but then he felt that the barrel was as heavy as a thousand catties... This guy's physique was originally not very strong, and he usually worked like a sneaky and slippery person. After persisting for a while, it became a bit overwhelming.

Then he tried to catch small fish with a net wrapped in gauze, but after three nets... the layer of gauze wrapped on it was torn apart by a big fish!

Although there were still some gauze on the boat, they were reserved for emergency treatment, and it would not be appropriate to use up all of them. And... even if he didn't want to keep it, the remaining gauze would only be enough for two more uses at most.

So... If Xiang Tianze wants a lot of small fish and shrimps, I'm afraid he can only use buckets to continuously fish them from the sea to be the most reliable!

Tony persisted in picking up a few more buckets, but finally couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately sat down on the deck, saying nothing! Even if Xiang Tianze used a gun to force him, it wouldn't work... This guy is indeed so tired that his arms are about to cramp.

Xiang Tianze did not force him too much, so he simply asked Tony to exchange with Jizai, and Jizai was to catch fish instead, and Tony is also an old sailor, even though both arms are almost gone. Perceived, but it's still not a problem to stare at the sailing boat.

As for Anna, she was not idle either, she was assigned by Xiang Tianze to be responsible for sorting the small fish and shrimp caught by Tony and the others... Make sure to keep only one of each type and put it into a basin. And also let Anna remember what kind of fish and shrimps she put in as much as possible, and she must avoid putting the same kind of fish and shrimps in it again...

Fortunately, Xiang Tianze now has the ability of photographic memory. Even if Anna made a mistake and put the same kind of fish and shrimp in the water basin, he would be able to recognize it immediately after catching it. After the scan was completed, the little fish found out that he had already scanned it once.

In this way, the four people have a detailed division of labor, and the efficiency has been greatly improved immediately. When Xiang Tianze scanned thirty-six small fish and shrimps in a row, he finally got the first picture of the heterogeneous gene sample.

And what Xiang Tianze didn't expect was... the first one he obtained from marine life was actually a three-star alien gene!

This is a small fish that looks translucent. You can see its internal organs through the body of the small fish, and the alien gene of this small fish is also related to invisibility...

This small fish is called Crystal Squid. Its original body is not transparent. Only when it senses danger, its body will quickly secrete a mysterious hormone, which makes its body move in a very short period of time. It becomes almost completely transparent within a short period of time.

It's just that its transparent state is not very complete. Basically, the fish meat and fish skin look almost completely transparent. But the internal organs and fish bones are translucent. And at the same time, it can also cause a smell similar to rancidity to be emitted from the body...

Many creatures in the ocean have poor eyesight, and most of their predation is carried out by smell, so... when this crystal fish becomes transparent, even if it is not completely transparent, it is basically Can fool the eyes of most fish.

And the subsequent rancid smell will also make many fish that don't like to eat rotten food far away, so... Only then can this weak crystal fish survive in the ocean food chain of survival of the fittest. survived.

If Xiang Tianze extracts the heterogeneous gene of this crystal fish and fuses it, he may obtain this kind of semi-invisible ability that makes his body appear transparent. Thinking about it, if it is really possible to hide all of them, it is impossible for this heterogeneous gene to be rated as a three-star gene!

But...Xiang Tianze feels that this foreign gene is really tasteless to him!

He can guess... This ability should only make his body transparent, but it is impossible to make the clothes on his body transparent. In this way... If he has integrated this gene, he can't take off his whole body every time he wants to use this ability, right? And the terrible thing is... this ability cannot last for a long time,

Think about it... If he has been invisible for a while, and finally has to show his whereabouts, let others see him completely naked, how embarrassing it would be!

So...Xiang Tianze shook his head decisively, even if it was a precious three-star gene, he would definitely not fuse it.

But no matter what, Xiang Tianze finally collected a foreign gene of a marine creature, which increased the completion rate of his task to ten percent!

At this time, only half an hour had passed, twenty-four hours was still plenty of time, and Xiang Tianze's confidence suddenly increased...

But in the next hour or so, Xiang Tianze scanned more than 70 different species of small fish and shrimps, but he never encountered a single one with a foreign gene, which made his heart sink again. .

Sure enough... the task of scanning software releases cannot be completed so easily. Although this one-star mission is not dangerous, it's like picking it up for nothing, but... the process of completing this mission is really tortured!

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Tony immediately suggested that today's fishing should come to an end for the time being. If Xiang Tianze hadn't had enough fun, they would play with Xiang Tianze after dawn tomorrow.

Speaking of which... Tony's request is not too much. After all, even real fishermen seldom go fishing at night. The small fish and shrimps that Xiang Tianze catches are not edible, and it’s not like they don’t have food on this yacht, they are about to starve to death. Naturally, there is no need to stay overnight to catch these small fish!

However, Xiang Tianze didn't intend to reason with Tony at all, he just pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger on the deck under Tony's feet...

With a "bang--", the crisp gunshots could not be concealed even by the "rumbling" yacht engine, which made Tony turn pale in fright, and sat down on the ground directly.

Xiang Tianze then said coldly: "If you don't want to die, you can work for me! No one can rest tonight... If necessary, you can stop the boat first, but you must salvage enough small fish for me. The fish are for my use! I am not negotiating with you... There is no room for negotiation in this matter!"

"I'm good……"

Tony wanted to say something else, but after looking at the gun in Xiang Tianze's hand and the clear bullet hole under his feet, he closed his mouth wisely, then obediently picked up the bucket and continued to work .
