Because the octopus interacts with her the most on weekdays, the fish-keeping system grants the octopus a butler privilege based on the amount of time the fish owner and the fish spend together.
This privilege is marked with a crown. When the privilege is activated, the crown turns gold; when it is deactivated, it turns gray.
Currently, the octopus has two privileges. First, it can assist in feeding the fish. When the fish-keeping system determines that the fish owner is not present and there is sufficient fish food, it will allow the octopus to feed the fish in her place.
Secondly, the fish food storage box can be opened. Due to the ownership relationship between the octopus and the fish owner, the fish-raising system has granted the octopus the special privilege of opening the food box.
Furthermore, if the housekeeper fish steals fish food, it will be recorded. However, in the current records, the octopus is surprisingly innocent, having not embezzled a single bag of fish food.
After getting a general idea of the situation, Gu Xi looked at the octopus in disbelief. Although she had figured out the update to the fish-raising system, she still couldn't believe that the gluttonous octopus would use its own fish food to feed the other fish first. What was even more frightening was that it actually managed to control itself and didn't embezzle a single bag of fish food.
She stared at the octopus for a long time before finally accepting the fact, then looked away and began to examine the other fish.
The domestication progress of the five light rays and tuna has exceeded 90% under the feeding of the octopus, and they seem to be eating well.
The overwhelming evidence presented to her truly made her look at the octopus in a new light.
Seeing that Octopus's pitiful little eyes were about to burst with tears the size of marbles, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt. She shouldn't have doubted Octopus like that. After all, she had noticed the changes in Octopus recently; even mischievous kids grow up.
"Okay, okay, it was my fault. I'll give you more fish food and an extra three days' worth of rations as a reward."
Gu Xi patted its head to encourage it.
The octopus, having received timely comfort and reward, finally stopped crying, but the desolate figure still lingered, and it was unclear when it would completely dissipate.
The new features of the fish-raising system were indeed very beneficial to Gu Xi. In practice, she could now leave the fish-feeding to the octopus! Having extra time made her incredibly happy.
Currently, besides serving as the ship's gunner and a feeder, Gu Xi thinks the octopus could be given more functions. For example, it could easily take over feeding the chickens and ducks, and it could also do the cleaning...
Suddenly, the octopus felt a chill all over its body. Its leaping body stiffened in mid-air for a moment, then it fell onto the deck with a thud.
While it was still confused, it saw its owner bring out her usual cleaning tools. Then, the owner spread its tentacles and wrapped them around the tools, while muttering incantations, instructing it on how to clean up the trash.
It's no longer a clueless octopus; it's quite capable now! It can completely understand what its owner is saying. The owner wants it to do some work!
No, it wouldn't do that! It's the head of hundreds of sharks, how could it do something so degrading!
So the octopus raised its tentacles, ready to throw away the tool. Then it heard its owner say, "If you do a good job, you'll get two more bags of fish food for every chore you do."
Its tentacle, holding the tool, suddenly turned and began to clean with a slapping sound.
It has an excellent memory; it can remember everything its owner says after just one instruction. However, it must clarify that it's not succumbing to the allure of fragrant fish food; it's just doing this out of boredom, and being a generous fish, it's helping its owner out.
Seeing the octopus give in, Gu Xi felt relieved, knowing she could get rid of some chores. She then turned and went inside to tidy herself up. After all, she'd been working hard for two days, so she wanted to freshen up first before taking stock of her achievements. (This chapter has been read.
