Chapter 462: Chapter 268: Reinforcement Successful, Fish School Dispersed

"What? Sharks can be tamed? Is Captain Long joking?"

"Sharks are so aggressive. If we’re not allowed to attack them, what happens if they attack us?"

"Yeah, and how are we supposed to know if the sharks we encounter are the ones you’ve tamed, and not just some that swam over from another area?"

"Don’t worry, the sharks from our base will have a special colored marking on their fins," Long Zhan replied. "I can guarantee they won’t attack you first!"

"Wait, Captain Long said ’they’? You mean there’s more than one shark?" someone suddenly pointed out the anomaly in Long Zhan’s message.

"That’s right. The original shark gave birth to ten pups, and we’ve tamed all of them!" Long Zhan admitted openly.

"What a coincidence! Dragon Base is really lucky!"

"Even if it’s luck, it’s luck that comes from strength! If they didn’t have the power to capture that first shark, none of this later luck would have happened!"

"That makes sense. Instead of envying someone else’s luck, it’s better to focus on improving your own strength!"

"You guys don’t actually believe sharks can be tamed, do you? I still think it sounds sketchy. They’ll probably end up getting hurt by the sharks themselves!"

"You don’t believe it? Then you should hurry over to the waters east of Dragon Base and see for yourself. Those eleven sharks are herding schools of fish right now!"

"For real?"

"Check out this video!"

A survivor sent a video.

Through the curtain of rain, a row of fins was clearly visible on the ocean’s surface. There was one large fin in the middle, flanked by five smaller fins on each side, all advancing in perfect formation!

The schools of fish were being driven so hard that they leaped out of the water. The entire surface of the sea looked like it was boiling, with fish constantly jumping about!

After watching the video, all the survivors were stunned speechless.

"What is going on? Are you sure this isn’t a CGI video?"

"Who has the free time to make a CGI video right now? I also have a high-definition underwater video. Anyone want to see it?"

"Yes, I want to see it!"

"Ten Peach Blossom Spring Coins. Pay me via private message, and I’ll send you the video!"

"What? I have to pay to watch a video?"

"I risked my life filming this underwater. I’m just charging a small fee for my trouble. Got a problem with that? Stop trying to freeload all the time!"

"Charging money is fine, but what is this Peach Blossom Spring Coin you mentioned?"

"You don’t know? Peach Blossom Spring Coins are the common currency of Dragon Base. As long as you have them, you can buy almost any resource at Dragon Base, like the meat and fruit that are so scarce right now!"

"Are you sure? Can you really buy any kind of meat?"

"The usual stuff like chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, and mutton are all definitely available! Isn’t that enough for you? Do you really have to eat shark fin?"

"It’s enough, it’s enough. I’m just a little skeptical. That meat must be available in limited quantities, right?"

"Why would it be limited? Dragon Base has made a breakthrough in rapid breeding technology. Their poultry and livestock grow incredibly fast, on par with their crops!"

"No way! They’re not feeding them some kind of hormones, are they?"

"What kind of hormone could make a piglet grow big enough for slaughter in just a few days?"

"A few days? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"No wonder the Iron Wing Fleet is standing so firmly with Dragon Base. It turns out Dragon Base has so much advanced technology!"

"Yeah, Dragon Country People always like to keep things hidden. What you see is always just the tip of the iceberg!"

"In that case, doesn’t that mean Dragon Base has even more advanced technology!"

"I wouldn’t know about that. The only thing I know is that we have to latch onto Dragon Base’s coattails right now!"

"That’s right, our base has already decided to embrace Peach Blossom Spring Coins!"

After the Great White Shark and her children dispersed the schools of fish to the east, they immediately swam north and west.

Long Zhan followed behind this group of Great White Sharks. Watching them work together seamlessly to disperse the fish, he was filled with emotion. ’Master is truly amazing. He actually managed to tame these sharks like pets. They even know how to coordinate!’

Soon, the schools of fish on all four sides were scattered. Of course, a few stray fish still approached Dragon Base, but they no longer posed a significant threat.

In addition, Dragon Base called on its members to fish from the shore. Any fish that dared to get close were mostly caught.

As for the deeper waters, enhanced seaweed awaited them. There was a large amount of enhanced seaweed beneath the Banyan Forest. As long as swarms of Evolutionary Fish didn’t show up, small numbers of them would find it difficult to survive in it.

"With the help of the Great White Sharks, our base has successfully neutralized the fish swarm’s attack..."

The moment the fish swarms were dispersed, the base issued a notice to reassure everyone.

Hearing this announcement, everyone in the base cheered.

They had seen all the doomsaying in the regional channel and had also been worried that Dragon Base’s Duckweed Continent would be completely destroyed by the fish.

They never expected Dragon Base to so easily neutralize this attack, and even tame creatures at the top of the marine food chain like Great White Sharks!

With these Great White Sharks around, ordinary fish swarms would no longer dare to attack. Even if they did, they’d just be delivering food to the sharks!

The survivors from Dragon Base immediately posted this notice in the regional channel.

The vast majority of people were nothing but envious of Dragon Base, but a few survivors posted some sour-sounding messages.

"Great White Sharks are completely wild. You can’t be sure you’ve truly tamed them!"

"Yeah, be careful they don’t turn on you!"

"What’s so great about a Great White Shark? It’s not at the top of the food chain. There are still Tiger Whales, which are highly intelligent and hunt sharks!"

"Why do I feel like the air is thick with the smell of sour grapes?"

"When the fish swarms were coming, certain people were doomsaying about Dragon Base. Now that they’ve driven off the fish, they’re starting to badmouth Dragon Base’s pets?"

"Just ignore them. They can’t stand to see Dragon Base doing well!"

At this time, all the members of the Iron Wing Fleet were also incredibly excited.

Thanks to Wei Jing’s persistence, they hadn’t terminated their lease. Instead, they continued to develop the space they were renting.

Now, it seemed Wei Jing’s decision had been absolutely correct!

With the help of Dragon Base’s construction teams, they had already erected several three-story buildings in their settlement.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to build higher, but that Dragon Base had a rule against building more than three stories.

To make the most of their leased space, these small buildings were built very close to one another, allowing them to construct more houses and let more members live on shore.

Just then, Long Zhan arrived at the Iron Wing Fleet’s settlement, leading a team.

Hearing that Long Zhan had come, Wei Jing hurried out to greet him.

"I was not aware of Captain Long’s esteemed arrival. Please forgive my poor welcome!" Wei Jing, who had learned some of the Dragon Language, stepped forward and greeted him.

Long Zhan was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand. "Captain Viking, you’re too kind. In light of your unwavering loyalty, the base has decided to give you some material rewards!"

As he spoke, he beckoned, and the soldiers behind him brought the items forward.

Three butchered pigs, three cows, and three sheep, as well as three large crates of various fruits!

Seeing the whole carcasses of the pigs, cows, and sheep, Wei Jing and his men nearly started drooling!

"Thank you, Captain Long! Thank you, Dragon Base!" Wei Jing said, cupping his hands in a salute.

"No need to be so polite. Once your settlement is fully built, I’ll come find you for a drink. I’ll let you get back to it!" With that, Long Zhan led his soldiers away.

Wei Jing hurriedly saw them off.

The members of the Iron Wing Fleet couldn’t resist posting about these rewards in the regional channel.

"See this? We just showed our stance, and Dragon Base gave us all these rewards!"

"Dragon Base is so generous! They’re giving away whole pigs, cows, and sheep?"

"Doesn’t this just further prove that Dragon Base has rapid breeding technology?"

"This is making my mouth water! I wonder if Dragon Base sells this meat to outsiders. I’d love to buy some to treat myself!"

Seeing everyone’s discussion, Ji Yizhi made a timely announcement about the construction of a market.

"To facilitate material trade for everyone, Dragon Base is establishing markets near the four ports in the east, south, west, and north. These four markets are currently under intensive construction and are expected to be open for use tomorrow morning!"

Seeing this news, the other fleets immediately started asking questions.

"Can we sell our own things at the market?"

"Is it mandatory to use Peach Blossom Spring Coins for all transactions?"

"If we can rent stalls, how will the rental fees be calculated?"

Ji Yizhi continued, "There are detailed rules regarding the markets, which we will release shortly. For now, I’ll briefly address your concerns."

"Our markets welcome products from all parties, but contraband is forbidden. The method of transaction can be agreed upon by both sides, and it is not mandatory to use Peach Blossom Spring Coins. If you do not use Peach Blossom Spring Coins, you must judge the value of the traded goods yourselves. Transaction taxes are temporarily waived. Stall rental fees are clearly listed and available for you to look up..."
