Chapter 123 Hard-Shelled Clams

"It's been a long time since I've inspected the farm carefully. I'll take this opportunity to take a look.

After Yang Yi got the construction drawings of the village's level 2 shellfish farm, he planned to upgrade the farm immediately. After all, food is always the top priority for the development of the fishman village.

Yang Yi took the village's construction workers and more than a dozen construction apprentices to the Ratchet Bay. After the Ratchet Village was upgraded to a large village, it opened up a lot of shellfish farms in the Ratchet Bay. Now the number of level 1 shellfish farms in the village has reached nearly 80.

In order to facilitate management, the site selection of the shellfish farms opened later was based on At the same time, many farms are not built on the beach that is more suitable for the growth of small clams, so the output is affected.

A village level 1 shellfish farm with a suitable environment can feed 5 adult murlocs, so even if the output is slightly reduced, these nearly 80 shellfish farms are enough to feed 300 adult murlocs.

"At present, the murlocs in Thorntooth Village mainly rely on seaweed harvested from the algae farm as their staple food, and clam meat is just a supplement. If both farms are upgraded to village level 2, then the village will have excess food to feed livestock. "

The construction fishmen immediately started to upgrade the shellfish farms. Yang Yi inspected the rows of farms along the beach.

The shellfish farms were lined up on the mudflats, and Yang Yi was very pleased.

Before the Earth Star disaster, Yang Yi had seen some refreshing seaside scenery photos on the Internet, some of which were photos of seaside aquaculture. Compared with the endless mudflats in the photos, the aquaculture farms currently developed by Ratchet Village are just small-scale.

"One day, Ratchet Village will occupy the entire Ratchet Bay and use it all for aquaculture. When the time comes, the fishmen in the village will eat clam meat, eat one and throw one away."

Yang Yi imagined a better future while walking slowly along the beach. Not far ahead, he found two fishmen sitting on the beach and whispering.

These two are the fishmen responsible for taking care of the aquaculture farms. At this time, they are sitting on the beach and fiddling with something.

"These are two lazy fishmen again. "

Recently, Yang Yi often found that the fishmen in the village hid and slacked off while working. This is also a chronic disease of the fishmen. After all, the lives of most fishmen are to fill their stomachs. As long as they fill their stomachs, everything will be fine.

Now all the fishmen in Ratchet Village have enough food every day. Without the pressure of survival, more and more fishmen do not want to work, and laziness has become a normal state for the fishmen in the village.

Although Yang Yi often uses food as rewards and punishments to mobilize the enthusiasm of the fishmen, the quality of the fishmen is only so little. It is like talking to a cow to preach to them that labor is glorious.

"It seems that the days of the fishmen in Ratchet Village eating from the same pot are coming to an end. We need to find a way to change it. "Yang Yi thought.

Yang Yi was about to go over and catch the two lazy fishmen, when he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that there was a baby-sized fishman lying in the muddy water in the middle of a farm.

This fishman was covered with mud, and he was sneaking on the mudflats of the farm. His big round head was still pushing a small clam shell forward.

While the two fishmen guarding the farm were lazy, this fishman was going to steal the seashells in the farm.

"Good fellow, this kid is quite capable, and he even knows how to hide. But this little thief dared to steal things under the nose of this lord, so I'll catch him and spank him. "

Yang Yi was both amused and confused, because the fishmen in this area are basically the children of the fishmen in the Thorntooth Village.

The fishmen nursery pool cannot accommodate so many fishmen, so many of them can only continue to live in the bay, but the Thorntooth Village has now sent a lot of adult fishmen to protect them.

"The two in front." Yang Yi shouted to the two lazy fishmen.

"Village Chief!" The two fishmen heard Yang Yi's voice, hurriedly put the things in their hands behind their backs and quickly got up from the ground.

"What are you hiding in your hands?" Yang Yi asked.

The two fishmen could only take out the things hidden behind them obediently: "Big clam shell, we can't pry it open."

It turned out to be a large sea clam. The two of them studied it for a long time but couldn't pry it open..

Yang Yi took the large sea clam and found that it was unexpectedly heavy, at least ten kilograms.

"This sea clam is confiscated. "Yang Yi pointed at the fishman seedlings moving slowly in the farm and ordered: See? Go and catch that thief."

The two fishmen hurried to catch the thief, and Yang Yi looked at the big sea clam in his hand.

This big sea clam is different from the [small clam shells] raised in the farm. Its size is comparable to a shield, and the clam shell is also very thick.

[Name]: Hard Shell Clam

[Level]: Level 3

"Level 3 [Hard Shell Clams] can be raised by the village fishmen in the village's level 2 farm. It's just right to take advantage of the upgrade of the shellfish farm to start cultivating young shells. Raising them in the shellfish farm should at least grow better than wild ones, and they can also produce high-level pearls."

After seeing the hard shell clams, Yang Yi wanted the village fishmen to raise some of these level 3 sea shells.

The most numerous sea shells in the Thorntooth Bay are [small clam shells], and other types of clam shells are relatively rare. It is not easy to collect the young of this [hard-shelled clam] in large quantities, but as long as they are properly cultivated in shellfish farms for a few generations, there will be enough young for large-scale farming.

Soon, two fishmen caught the fishman seedling who stole the sea clam and brought it over.

Although the little fishman was covered in mud, it was still clear that it was originally a green little fishman.

This green little fishman was about the size of a newborn human baby. A fishman of this size could already breathe in the air for a short time.

Yang Yi took a look and found that after being caught red-handed, the fishman seedling was still desperately trying to hold a small clam shell with his pair of small fishman hands that had just evolved from fish fins.

The little fishman's hands were not strong enough, and after holding on for a while, the small clam shell fell on the beach.

"Little guy, stealing is wrong." Yang Yi picked up the fishman seedling with his big fishman hands, and he found that the scales on the fishman seedling were purple-gold.

"Yi... Yi..." The fishman seedling opened and closed his mouth desperately, but only made two subtle and short sounds.

"Huh? Could it be a mute? What a pity, it looks like a smart fishman seedling."

Yang Yi was stunned. He used the Lord's Eye to take a look and found that this little fishman had no special name.

Mickey seedlings use sound to transmit information in the water. The screams of fishman seedlings that grow to this size are enough to make people's eardrums hurt.

"You two are lazy at work. You are not allowed to eat for a day." Yang Yi scolded.

The two fishmen were so scared that their legs went weak when they heard that they had nothing to eat for a day. Now they are used to two meals a day. The last time they were hungry was three or four months ago.

"Now I give you a task, take this little guy to the nursery pond in the village." Yang Yi suddenly felt kind-hearted. Seeing that this mute little fishman was pitiful, he handed the fishman seedling to the two fishmen.

When the murlocs were still murlocs, Yang Yi could not use the Lord's Eye skill to check their talents and specialties, so the murlocs in Ratchet Village mainly looked at the physical condition of the murlocs when selecting the murlocs to put into the village's murloc nursery pond. This murloc was probably not selected because he was dumb.

The murlocs were brought back to the village, and Yang Yi picked up the small clam shell that fell on the ground. He used all his strength to open the small clam shell and found a level 2 excellent quality [Shiny Small Pearl] inside.

"Good luck, this is a one in a hundred chance. The dumb little murloc didn't steal the small clam shell next to the farm, but deliberately chose this small clam shell in the farm. Did he know that there were pearls hidden in the small clam shell?"

Yang Yi thought about it and felt that he seemed to think too much. .
