Chapter Nine: Crystal Treasure Clam



The shop assistant's voice was like heavenly music. Wu You immediately realized that she had fallen into a cognitive trap. Moreover, according to what she said, it seemed that there were other bioluminescent animals in this aquarium shop.

Wu You ran back to the shop assistant: "No, no, I just need any animal that can glow, it doesn't even have to be aquatic. Do you have any?"

The shop assistant smiled.

"Then there's no problem. Although we don't have any bioluminescent fish here, we do have bioluminescent jellyfish."

"How much will it cost?" Wu You thought it was better to ask beforehand. After paying his father's 50,000 yuan for treatment, he only had a little over 8,000 yuan in his account. If it cost more than that, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

"We currently have comb jelly in our store, each one costs about 100 yuan, and it glows," the shop assistant patiently explained to Wu You.

With only one hundred, Wu immediately relaxed.

"Okay, could you please show me this jellyfish?"

The shop assistant smiled and nodded, "Okay, sir, please follow me." Then she led the way, leading Wu You to the inner room, where there was a wooden door on one side.

After following the shop assistant inside, the wooden door was closed again. The inside was rather dark, but not completely dark.

Wu You's gaze was immediately drawn to the several large water tanks in the middle, which contained many beautiful jellyfish, each no bigger than a fist, emitting a cold blue or green light.

"This is it, I want 10 of them," Wu You said happily to the shop assistant next to her.

...

When Wu You came out of Miracle Ocean Aquarium, he was carrying a 5-liter plastic portable fish tank covered with a black cloth, and inside the tank were 10 precious leaf-shaped comb jellyfish.

Not long after leaving the store, Wu You found a quiet corner and reached into the plastic fish tank, catching fish as soon as he felt a sensation.

Successfully captured, obtained material: Leaf-shaped comb jelly

Successfully captured, obtained material: Leaf-shaped comb jelly

...

I caught all 10 jellyfish and put them in the material warehouse. Then I found a public toilet and emptied all the water from the plastic fish tank. It was much easier to carry the empty fish tank.

They bought a lot of fruit from a fruit shop on the street, and some cooked food and side dishes from the vegetable market. They took a taxi to Qiantang Central Hospital. Zhang Guojun had already gone home, and now only Zhang Guihua was taking care of Wu Jianguo.

Wu You comforted his mother, telling her not to worry about the family, that he would take care of things, and that he would find a way to cover the medical expenses.

Before leaving, Zhang Guihua repeatedly reminded Wu You to be careful and to pay attention to the temperature.

Wu You used to find her parents annoying, but hearing this now, she felt both touched and heartbroken. However, she was full of confidence in the future. She would first solve the financial problem, and then try to create a biological device that would help Wu Jianguo's physical treatment.

...

When Wu You got home, it was already 6:30 p.m. He saw that many families in the village had set up tables outside to eat. Only then did he realize that he hadn't even eaten lunch and had left all the cooked food he had just bought at the hospital for his mother.

I've been in a state of high excitement all day, and now the thought of eating makes my stomach grow uncontrollably hungry.

However, Wu You suddenly thought of a question: Do alchemical creatures need to eat?

It should be necessary, after all, they are living things, and even machines need refueling.

After carefully searching the area around Garuru's enclosure, I found two small health bars on one side. After selecting one, a system explanation immediately popped up.

One is health, which is at full capacity, and the other is satiety, which is 96%. It also specifically states that satiety is not consumed in the stable and health will slowly recover.

It seems we don't need to address Garuru's gluttonous nature for now.

However, the number of animal pens is limited. Even if the number increases in the future, it will not be able to keep up with Wu You's speed of creating creatures. How to hide and house the creatures outside and how to solve their food problem will be a major challenge.

Things will work themselves out. At worst, we can renovate our contracted garden later, or even contract all the hills behind it.

Let's solve our own food and clothing problems first.

The vegetables in the garden are all freshly grown and definitely fresher than those bought at the market.

Wu You steamed a pot of rice, then stir-fried a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of braised eggplant. He also smashed a cucumber, sprinkled it with salt, drizzled it with sesame oil, and made a cold salad. He then cooked half a mountain king chicken from the refrigerator into braised chicken pieces.

Half an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was ready, making Wu You's mouth water.

Wu You, who was already starving, devoured all the dishes in no time.

After dinner, I rested for half an hour, and it was time to get down to business.

First, summon Garuru to keep watch, then take a deep breath and select Level 1 Bioalchemy in the system.

Select the male Triangular Sail Mussel and the Leaf-shaped Comb Jelly from the resource warehouse.

Hint: Select male Triangular Sail Mussel and Leaf-shaped Comb Jellyfish. Confirm?

Wu You knew that the crucial moment had arrived, and he had to make a decision.

The next moment, an alchemical canvas with a black flowing water background appeared.

Wu You concentrated all his attention and used his imagination to depict the thick, ancient shell and the crystal-clear clam meat, imagining bright pearls being produced inside. When the last mysterious line was completed, a pearl clam full of ancient charm and mystery appeared on the alchemy drawing board.

System evaluation: Body arrangement rationality 49%, alchemy success rate increased by 4.9%.

The current success rate is 50% + 4.9%.

Is it alchemy?

Although the success rate was low, Wu You had no other tools available and had no choice but to start alchemy immediately.

In the material warehouse, the Triangular Sail Clam and the Leaf-shaped Comb Jelly transformed into streams of light and were thrown into the alchemy canvas. The pearl clam on the canvas gradually became full and vivid. At the last moment, the pearl clam began to open and close slightly.

Hint: Alchemy successful. Please name it.

YES, it worked! I prepared ten jellyfish, and I didn't expect to succeed on the first try. Wu You made a peace sign at Garuru, who looked confused.

Choose a name: Crystal Pearl Clam.

The name has been confirmed.

Alchemical Creature: Crystal Treasure Clam, Name: Not yet available

Talent: Absorbs water essence and produces pearls

Ability: Clamping clam shells

Basic Assessment: Intermediate Black Iron Level (Trainable)

System Description: The moon shines brightly over the vast sea, and pearls weep. This is a wondrous pearl oyster that can spit out treasures.

Although it's strange that the mission wasn't completed, the appearance of the Crystal Treasure Clam should solve my immediate problem.

Eagerly, I went to the bathtub, filled it with water, and then summoned the Crystal Treasure Clam.

The clam shell is only about the size of a mouse pad. The entire shell is dark yellow, and the patterns on the shell look like mysterious symbols.

Wu You ordered the clam shell to be opened.

The moment the clam shell opened, Wu You was disappointed. There was indeed a pearl, but it was no bigger than a sesame seed. He didn't even have the interest to test whether it was a luminous pearl.

But then Wu You realized that there was also a cultivation function, which he hadn't tried yet.

Without much hesitation, I selected the "Cultivation" tab in the system and discovered that even though Garurumon and Treasure Clam were summoned outside, I could still choose to cultivate them.

Select the glass pearl directly.

The alchemical energy was consumed a little more.

Then Wu You saw the treasure clam growing rapidly at a visible speed, and the color of the clam shell was getting darker and darker. He soon realized something was wrong.

The bathtub is almost overflowing!

"Garuru, quickly pick up the treasure clam and throw it into the river!" Wu You hurriedly ordered Garuru, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to leave the bathroom soon.
