Chapter 308: The Fishmen's Painstaking Efforts |
Forced into his hand, gripping this stack of cards.
Only then did Qin Ziwen accept them. It couldn't really be blamed on him; after all, he was currently on someone else's turf and didn't know their true intentions.
If someone shoves something at you, do you just take it?
You have to show some modesty first, see what the other party's attitude is.
After handing the cards to Qin Ziwen, the Fish-man Chieftain turned and left the compartment, going outside to call the little yellow fish-man aside.
Seeming to know he had done something bold, Luoen was a bit nervous, head lowered, following behind his father.
The two fish-men, one in front, one behind, walked out of the temple.
"Twelve cards, that's really extravagant." Qin Ziwen glanced over them. There was no red light, which also meant no Function Cards, a slight disappointment.
But although there were no Function Cards, the other colored cards were extremely plentiful.
There was a blue with a metallic texture, an Advanced Building Card, and there were two of them.
There was a dark green, an Advanced Enhancement Card.
There was a dark gold, a Breakthrough Card.
There was a white one, a Blank Expansion Card (Large).
There was a yellow one, a Building Enhancement Card.
There was a light pink one, a Treatment Card.
There was a bright silver one, this was a Growth Card.
There was a gray one, this was an Ordinary Building Card, and there were the most of these, a full three.
The colors were too rich, so rich that Qin Ziwen was dazzled.
"Truly wealthy," Qin Ziwen sighed. He had really encountered an undersea tycoon.
It even felt like more cards than he got from the weekly settlement.
Qin Ziwen first looked at the violet-gold Advanced Recruitment Card.
[Advanced Recruitment Card] Superhuman · Fish-man Heroic Warrior *1
Qin Ziwen stared at this name; it looked anything but simple.
This was the first time he had obtained a card that could directly summon a Superhuman unit.
Just the color was different from ordinary purple Recruitment Cards.
This was the noble violet-gold.
It looked full of luxury.
The front of the card had a deep-sea background. In the image, a fish-man with a physique somewhat similar to the Fish-man Chieftain, but appearing even more robust. Its deltoids and trapezius muscles were extremely developed, wide on top and narrow below, its head somewhat square.
It looked a bit like... a sperm whale-man?
Its abdomen had a full eighteen-pack.
Qin Ziwen put the card away. He felt the Fish-man Chieftain had deliberately given him this Recruitment Card; there was definitely deep meaning to it.
It could summon a Superhuman warrior of the fish-man race.
Aside from this first-seen Superhuman Recruitment Card, what most attracted Qin Ziwen's attention were the other two Advanced Buildings.
[Advanced Building] Weather Altar (Required Area: 10*10)
[Advanced Building] Fish-man Burrow (Required Area: 100*100)
Then connecting to the Blank Expansion Card (Large) in the card set, it directly covered the area needed to build the Fish-man Burrow as well.
As for a small fry building like the Weather Altar, it didn't need much consideration at all; any Micro Expansion Card could stuff it in.
The dark green Advanced Enhancement Card was exactly the same as the one used before. After use, it could increase a Superhuman unit's standard physical fitness by 1 star level, while also increasing a certain ability level by 1.
The yellow Building Enhancement Card was one he had just used not long ago, [Building Enhancement Card] Space *1.
It could expand the internal space of an Advanced Building to ten times its original size.
The light pink Treatment Card was an Internal Injury Treatment Card.
Qin Ziwen thought of the Thousand-Eyed Snake's venom; this card could precisely neutralize the snake venom.
Plus the Growth Card that could shorten a pet's growth period by one year.
He felt the cards the Fish-man Chieftain gave him weren't random.
Some of the cards had connecting effects with each other.
As for the final Ordinary Building Cards, all three were different.
[Building Card] Level 3 Seabed Algae Garden *1, [Building Card] Level 3 Seabed Pasture *1, [Building Card] Level 3 Deep-sea Shipyard *1.
After clearly seeing the levels of the Ordinary Building Cards, Qin Ziwen's heart trembled. They were actually all Level 3 buildings.
It required 4 identical Level 1 buildings to synthesize into a Level 3 building of the same name.
In other words, these weren't just three Ordinary Building Cards; they were clearly twelve Ordinary Building Cards.
Unlike the Advanced Buildings with names hard to intuitively understand, just hearing the names of these three buildings could guess their uses.
The fish-man tribe's "vegetable garden," "farm," "shipbuilding factory."
Thinking about preparing to send a portion of the fish-men to his Home, it seemed the Fish-man Chieftain hadn't just arranged for the fish-men, but also arranged some buildings for the fish-men to survive in.
Then thinking about the fish-man tribe's survival environment needing to be in water.
Qin Ziwen could roughly guess what type of building the Fish-man Burrow should be.
It should be the "housing" for the fish-men to live in.
No wonder its required area was so large, and there was even a Building Enhancement Card. It was probably worried the living environment for the fish-men would be too cramped, difficult to accommodate survival.
It could be said, for the sake of his tribesmen, he had gone to great pains.
After obtaining these cards and estimating their uses, Qin Ziwen put the cards away.
Being able to obtain so many cards at once was also a pleasant surprise. During this week's settlement, these cards would be counted among his gains, and the rewards would be doubled later.
Going out from the altar, the outer hall was somewhat empty. After hearing Cao Biansheng's explanation, Qin Ziwen learned that those Priest Clan fish-men who weren't selected were very carefree, leaving cheerfully.
Perhaps in their hearts, they weren't very willing to leave their hometown and go to a strange place either.
In contrast, that little fish-man was full of energy, curious about everything.
Qin Ziwen narrowed his eyes. He suspected that little fish-man participating in the selection might also be part of the Fish-man Chieftain's calculations.
Even if he himself had chosen other Priest Clan members, later they might have found other ways to stuff Luoen into his team.
This appearance of anxiously entrusting an orphan... was it because the fish-man tribe's current living environment was becoming increasingly harsh, or was there some other reason?
Just as Qin Ziwen was speculating, a sound came from outside the door.
The Fish-man Chieftain led Luoen inside.
After entering the temple, Luoen first looked at the Fish-man Chieftain, then looked at Qin Ziwen.
Letting go of the big hand holding his, Luoen trotted over, stood in front of Qin Ziwen, legs clamped together.
"Welcome aboard." Qin Ziwen extended his right hand.
Hearing this, Luoen's face showed a delighted expression. He hurriedly raised his own small hand, grabbed Qin Ziwen's hand, and shook it vigorously.
"Baba ba~!"
"Master, he says he will become an outstanding fish-man warrior," Pula said quietly.
The Fish-man Chieftain made a sound.
Pula translated, "He says the hunting team for the Thousand-Eyed Death God is already prepared, and he wants to invite us to observe the hunt together."
Although Qin Ziwen had some doubts, he didn't show them.
Did the fish-man tribe want to hunt that Thousand-Eyed Snake themselves?
Then why did they ask him earlier if he had any means to deal with the Thousand-Eyed Snake?
Was it a test, or did they have other ideas?
But since the fish-man tribe was willing to be the vanguard, that was naturally a good thing. Participate, stay far away, and just get an assist.
