Chapter 1006: Creating Another Bone Tree Farm (1/2)
After that, Krune took out the book Flita had brought with her. It detailed all the information about the fish that collectors had documented. Quite a few rich households grew these fishes as decoration. With that, everyone had collated their information on online forums dedicated to this.
Unsurprisingly, one researcher delved into the topic fully, collating all the information available online before he experimented on his own collection, finally publishing the book. It was the most detailed among all the books relating to the topic.
It was what Krune had asked her to bring, wishing to understand everything that was to know about the fish he was dealing with. While the bone trees grew and the fish ate the powdered bone tree fruits, Krune read through the book, eventually finished reading after three days.
It was a considerably thick book detailing all the information he required. Once he read through them all, Krune could not help but smile devilishly as he muttered, ”So, they grew better when the weather was colder? Consider that done.”
Not long after, Krune dropped a chunk of ice in the second reservoir. He had condensed it using his Ocean Turbulence. Of course, he also imbued some of the healing effects in it. This was to ensure the fish wouldn't die due to unfortunate or unforeseen reasons.
This way, he planned to create the same situation as the Motor Fishes: cause them to brim with excess energy so that they would mate as many times as they were biologically capable of. This way, he could spur their growth faster, causing them to evolve further and further as the generations passed on.
Based on what was written in the book, this fish species laid eggs every five days. And each time, they laid around 20-30 eggs. It was a considerable sum that could quickly grow out of control when not taken care of.
It was then that Krune realized part of the reason why the octopuses traded the fishes with the human cities. Enough population of the fishes would be replenished almost daily, so no matter how much the human cities consumed them, their population would never go down.
'They might have some aquatic or coral species for the fishes to feed on and grow. That might form the core of this food chain,' Krune thought as he continued to work, dicing up the bone tree fruits into powder before dumping them into the second reservoir.
He also consumed a Tier 1 Essence every day. And when he checked on the weighing machine, he realized that he was indeed growing in weight by a single kilogram every day. He could also feel his strength increasing, achieving new limits every day.
To grow accustomed to his new strength, Krune used the training room, training whenever he didn't work on his project. Upon seeing his zealous activity of alternating between work and training, Flita was inspired.
