But things are different now. After he fully woke up, he felt a strong sense of closeness to the creature that looked so much like him. This closeness seemed to emanate from his very soul.

Although he was eager to get closer to the strange creature, there was something more important at hand: the pile of food in front of him!

He darted to the food in a flash, grabbed the fish feed, and shoved it into the fish's mouth.

Gu Xi knew he had very good teeth, but surely he wouldn't put a bag of fish food in his mouth like that!

Furthermore, whether fish food bags are edible remains a mystery. What if the fish accidentally eat the bags and get sick?

So, in order to better protect his private property, Gu Xi hurriedly ran over and snatched food from the fish's mouth.

"You can't eat this!"

Gu Xi snatched it away, then deftly tore open the bag before handing him the fish food.

"?"

Ai Si tilted her head and looked at Gu Xi, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of the fish food and took it from her hand and poured it into her mouth.

"Can you understand me?!"

Normally, only successfully tamed marine mammals can communicate through mental energy, but this fish seemed extraordinary to Gu Xi, and must have something special about it.

Sure enough, Ais nodded. "Squeak~"

Although this fish looks like a human, its way of responding is very much like a sea monster. I wonder if it can actually speak.

So Gu Xi tried to communicate with him by having him imitate her way of speaking.

"I've given you a name, your name is Aisi. If you don't like it, you can tell me your old name."

"Ais, squeak~" (Ais is fine, I don't have a name.)

Although the fish stuttered and had significant pronunciation problems when saying "Ais," it was undeniable that it truly had a talent for speaking.

Upon learning this, Gu Xi almost jumped for joy.

Fish with high mental strength are really good; they're incredibly fast at everything they do. With this fish's abilities, Gu Xi would believe it if you told him it was from the deep sea.

Besides, the seahorse and manatee tribes we saw before were so ugly, they're not even as good-looking as Ais.

Gu Xi waved her hand in her mind, clearing away the jumbled thoughts. The fish was now tamed, but the ownership of those items... well, that should be dealt with now, right?

Those things belong to Aisi, and Aisi belongs to her, so those things belong to her.

A perfect equation.

Then Gu Xi taught Ai Si how to open the fish food bag. After Ai Si learned how to eat the fish food by himself, Gu Xi stood up and ran to the pile of treasures in the box.

Ai Si's mind was entirely focused on the fish food, and he completely ignored Gu Xi's behavior.

So Gu Xi openly and honestly took inventory of the items.

Gu Xi had initially thought that collecting these items would require some permission transfer methods. However, since Ai Si had become her fish, these items were no longer bound to her, and she simply collected them all.

Because there were many different kinds of these items, and they were quite valuable, Gu Xi used the old method and put them directly in the trading area. However, the prices were all followed by a long string of zeros after the gold coins.

The trading area rules have been adjusted and are much more comprehensive than before. Therefore, Gu Xi occasionally lists items there.

She immediately removed all items from her trading area and listed a bunch of items that no one had ever seen before, instantly causing a huge uproar in the regional chat. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
