Chapter 239 Real Estate Developer

Yang Yi is now very familiar with the various stages of a murloc from a murloc egg to an adult. From a murloc egg to a small murloc that can go ashore, there are two stages in between: a murloc embryo and a murloc seedling.

Murlocs usually lay their eggs in shallow sea rock cracks or coral reefs. It takes about a month for a fertilized egg to develop into a murloc embryo.

Murloc embryos will surge with the tides, and after about three months, they will enter the murloc seedling stage after breaking out of the egg.

During the murloc seedling stage, the small fins begin to develop, and it normally takes seven or eight months to grow into a small murloc.

Until they grow into small murlocs, murlocs can breathe in the air with gills, and can start to leave the water and come to land.

In theory, Cookie has only been in Ratchet Town for about two or three months. Even if he has children, they are almost at the stage of murloc embryos or murloc seedlings.

Murlocs are still in the sea at these two stages, so it is not that easy to distinguish which one is his child.

So when Yang Yi heard Cookie say that he wanted to find his child back, he felt very confused.

"Mayor Poseidon, because we deliberately found a place far away from Ratchet Town, where there is a small coral reef, and there are few other merfolk nearby." Cookie hesitated, embarrassed to say.

"We lay eggs and fertilize there." Female merfolk Chocolate added to Cookie very straightforwardly.

"I see." Yang Yi understood now.

Merfolk rely on the power of the tide to drift in the embryonic stage, so some of them will not leave the spawning ground too far. Even when they reach the fry stage, they will not swim too far, and will basically move around coral reefs and other areas where it is easy to find food instinctively.

So if there are no other merfolks moving around the spawning ground, there is a relatively high probability that the merfolk embryo or merfolk fry is your child.

After all, according to probability, as long as there are no other merfolks laying eggs nearby in the same time period, then the main concern is that the merfolk eggs you lay will drift away with the waves after hatching, and you don't have to worry too much about other merfolk children mixing in.

After listening to Cookie and Chocolate, Yang Yi became interested in this matter, so he planned to go to the sea with Cookie and the others to find Cookie and Chocolate's child.

Yang Yi did this not because of curiosity, but because he wanted to see with his own eyes how effective Cookie's method was.

If Cookie's method is more feasible, it will be of great reference value to other fishmen in Ratchet Town.

Yang Yi hurriedly finished breakfast, and then went to find their children with Cookie and the others.

Passing by the central square of the town, Yang Yi called Benbol Ba to go with him. This kid knew that he didn't need to continue training, so he ran over happily.

So Yang Yi rode on the big turtle, took two little followers, and followed Cookie and Chocolate down to Ratchet Bay.

Behind the big turtle was Cookie's big pot, which Cookie planned to use to bring his child back, but it sounded incredible to use a soup pot to hold a child.

Yang Yi followed Cookie and the others in the sea water of Ratchet Bay for a long time, and then he knew how far Cookie's previous words "I found a place far away from Ratchet Town" were.

The place Cookie chose was near the Tidus Stairs on the Commercial Coast. It took a whole day to reach the destination. Thanks to Cookie and Chocolate's passion, they could hold on until here.

Fortunately, Yang Yi wisely chose to ride the big turtle mount at the beginning, so he could arrive here leisurely.

"It's in front." Cookie shouted happily after finding the place.

Yang Yi also saw a small coral reef in front. The whole coral reef covers an area of ​​less than 20 square meters. You can see that the surrounding water plants are lush. It is indeed a good spawning site.

After Cookie found the place, he swam over quickly and anxiously. He swam around the coral reef and soon found and collected a group of murloc seedlings.

After finding these murloc seedlings, Cookie was very happy, and his mouth was grinning to the back of his head.

Even the female merman Chocolate smiled happily when she saw these merman seedlings that might be her own children. It seems that the maternal radiance of merman still exists.

Yang Yi also took a closer look and found that these merman seedlings were about the size of merman fingers. It seemed that they had just hatched from merman embryos.

"Cute little guys, there are quite a few of them." Yang Yi looked at these cute little merman seedlings and liked them very much.

"Mayor Poseidon, there are a total of 23 merman seedlings, they are all the children of Cookie and Chocolate." Cookie's words were full of pride and love.

"Twenty-three!" Yang Yi shouted, "This is going to be rich!"

At this time, Yang Yi wished that he could pair up the merman in Ratchet Town every day and let them all come to Ratchet Bay to lay eggs and fertilize.

Of course, merman can't lay eggs and fertilize every day.

Male merman is better. As long as he is energetic, he can fertilize merman eggs almost every day. But female merman is different. Although female merman does not need to carry the child in her belly, it still takes some time for the merman eggs to mature.

Female merfolk can sense when the merfolk eggs are ripe, so it is common for female merfolk to force male merfolk to go to the sea. This is usually because female merfolk feel that it is time to lay eggs.

But even so, it is amazing. One nest can give birth to more than 20 eggs. If there are four or five nests, the population of the merfolk family will exceed 100.

"It seems that we should put the matter of arranging the murlocs in Ratchet Town to give birth to murlocs as soon as possible. Even if Ratchet Town cannot afford to raise so many murlocs, it can let the designated murlocs give birth to a few more nests, and then protect these murlocs specially, at least to improve the quality of the next generation of murlocs."

Yang Yi thought about it and felt that he should do it more times as a procuress and try to exert the effect of the Eye of the Murloc Lord.

Cookie and Chocolate, the two murlocs, circled the coral reef and the surrounding area several times, carefully checked every corner, and returned to Yang Yi until they were sure that there were no more murlocs left.

In the end, Cookie and his team found a total of 25 murlocs.

According to Cookie and his team, in fact, the number of eggs Chocolate had laid in the coral reefs before was much greater than this number. However, some murloc eggs may not have been fertilized, and some may have drifted away with the tide when they were murloc embryos or murlocs.

"Mayor Poseidon, we have found our children." Cookie said happily.

Yang Yi looked at Cookie's 25 children and was amazed. This shy fishman was a virgin fishman some time ago, but he became a father in the blink of an eye, and the father of 25 children.

"No wonder fishmen basically ignore their offspring after giving birth in the sea. Fishmen can't afford to raise such a large group of children. They can only rely on the sea to raise them." Yang Yi couldn't help but guess randomly.

In fact, most fishmen can support themselves, not to mention raising fishmen's children.

"By the way, Cookie, how do you plan to place your children after you go back?" Yang Yi asked.

Cookie thought for a while: "Cookie plans to find a suitable place in the bay near Ratchet Town for the children to live."

After taking these fishmen back, will they continue to be raised in the sea? This is not a good idea. The fishmen in the sea will be carried away by the waves and tides at any time.

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said to Cookie: "Cookie, when I go back, I will ask the construction workers to build a fishman nursery pool for you, so that you can raise your and Chocolate's children directly in Ratchet Town. But this nursery pool is not given to you for free, you must spend money to buy it."

"Really? Thank you, Mayor Poseidon, you are such a good fishman." Cookie was excited and grateful, "Cookie is willing to use all his salary to buy a nursery pool."

Cookie worked as a chef in the hotel and got a salary, so he said he would use all his salary to buy a nursery pool.

But Cookie was wrong about one thing, that is, Yang Yi is not a good fishman.

At this time, Yang Yi was calculating in his heart.

To build a nursery pool, not only building materials such as stone and wood are needed, but also fishman construction workers and a team of fishman laborers to help, which is a lot of money.

Also, the money for the land must be calculated, and the price is completely up to this mayor.

By the way, we should build a village-level 1 fishman nursery pond first. If we want to upgrade it later, we have to pay extra money.

We have to upgrade it level by level, and we have to pay money again and again.

With Cookie's salary, he definitely can't pay the full amount, so he can only pay in installments.

In this way, Cookie will always owe money to Ratchet Town.

"This is real estate!"

"After this, Cookie not only owes money to Ratchet Town, but his children are still in Ratchet Town. Let's see how he can run back to the Defias Brotherhood."

Yang Yi laughed in his heart, and he showed Cookie an evil fishman smile: "Cookie, work hard in the future. In addition to the nursery pond, there will be spawning grounds, fishman huts, coral reefs, etc. in the future, all of which can be bought with the wages earned from work."

"Okay, thank Mayor Poseidon, Cookie will definitely work hard!" Cookie patted his chest and promised.

"Very good, I think highly of you, you have a bright future." Yang Yi smiled even happier in his heart.

Yang Yi thinks highly of Cookie, the murloc.

As a chef, the turtle soup cooked by Cookie can improve endurance and mental strength for a certain period of time.

In the world of Azeroth, endurance means vitality, and mental strength means recovery speed, both of which are very useful attributes.

Although the attributes improved by turtle soup are not as good as those of chain metal potions, the raw materials of turtle soup are easy to obtain, and a large pot is cooked at a time, which can fully satisfy the murlocs of the entire team.

More importantly, Cookie is an A-level murloc. In Yang Yi's view, Cookie's greatest value lies in being a stud (breeding murloc) for breeding. .
