223. Chapter 221 Level 30, Hazardous Substance Conversion



[Successfully caught a long-tailed sea bream, weighing 23.83 catties, experience (fish king) +1500. ]

[Successfully caught a three-colored scorpionfish, weighing 6.54 catties, experience (fish king) +800]

[Successfully caught a seven-banded grouper, weighing 310.54 catties, experience (fish king) +2000]

It was awesome! I caught three king fish with two longlines. The first two were okay, but the last seven-band grouper was really awesome.

Not to mention the experience points, the weight of more than 300 kilograms is several thousand dollars.

In addition to the three king fish, the longline harvest was also very impressive, with a total of 467 deep-sea fish caught. Excluding more than 60 low-value deep-sea fish, the rest were all quite valuable.

The number of fish caught this time was one third more than usual. Zhang Ze had lamented about the resources too many times. He could only say that he came early and it was a good opportunity, making him the first person to try it out.

This also made Zhang Ze realize that he might as well spend more time in the open sea, or even try his luck in the open sea.

Domestic fishery development has not yet entered a high-speed period, so he can take this opportunity to catch more king fish.

In addition, after collecting these two longlines, the experience points that were originally expected to be reached tomorrow are now sufficient.

The current experience value is more than 30,700 points, and the upgrade experience is 29,000, which is more than 1,700 more. Zhang Ze chose to upgrade without hesitation.

[Fishing Space (Level 30)]

[Experience: 0/30000]

【Function: Magical bait, growth, conversion of harmful substances】

【Space size: 300 cubic meters】

[Fishing Experience: 1720]

"Conversion of harmful substances?" Zhang Ze was puzzled when he saw the name of the new function. At first glance, it seemed to have nothing to do with his fishing.

However, the abilities all had descriptions, so he quickly chose to view the function.

[Conversion of harmful substances: You can spend experience points to select organisms in the space that carry harmful substances, and convert the harmful substances into nutritional elements that are beneficial to the human body.]

[Ordinary creatures: Required experience points are 10~100. King level: Required experience points are 100~1000. Each conversion takes one hour (fixed). (Depending on the amount of harmful substances, the required experience points will also vary.)]

[Additional function: Manifestation (organisms carrying harmful substances will automatically manifest in the space)]

"Hey, this function..." Zhang Ze touched his chin and thought of the problem of the customer's seafood allergy when he met Zhao Xianghua.

Of course, allergies are a physical problem and have nothing to do with seafood.

What he has always been concerned about is ciguatera poison. After all, he mainly makes money from coral fish such as grouper, and these fish are most likely to carry ciguatera poison.

This had always been a bit worrying for him, but now with this new feature, he could put his mind at ease.

And it is not just as simple as removing toxins. This conversion function can also convert toxins into substances that are nutritious to the human body. This means that fish carrying ciguatera toxin or other substances will become higher quality aquatic products.

Zhang Ze thought about it and found that he couldn't seem to use this feature to increase the price of the fish. After all, the reason was hard to explain. So these fish could be given priority to his relatives and friends.

Most people in coastal areas are accustomed to eating seafood. As a fisherman, he often brings seafood home.

Therefore, if the number of such converted fish is small, family and friends can consume them. If there are many, they will only be a bargain for Zhao Xianghua.

Afterwards, Zhang Ze checked the situation in the space again.

When he saw the red marks on a small number of coral fish and groupers in the space, he instantly realized that these were harmful substances carried by the fish themselves.

Including the seven-band grouper king fish that was just caught, he chose this grouper out of curiosity.

Two options immediately appeared above the grouper's head, and a prompt appeared below.

The options are growth function and transformation function, and the prompt explains that the fish has ciguatera poison and parasites.

Zhang Ze blinked his eyes. Parasites can be manifested? Can they be transformed? That would be amazing! This is a new feature that I must try.

Zhang Ze did not choose this seven-band grouper, mainly because he was going to use the growth function on this fish, which required a lot of experience points, so he could do it later.

He first screened out the fish and lobsters that carried harmful substances. Lobsters and fan shrimps did not have ciguatera toxin, but some of them carried parasites.

These problems are not serious. As long as you don’t eat sashimi, you don’t have to worry about any problems.

But he still selected it and put it aside, and converted it when he had enough experience points.

At that time, these seafood with particularly high nutritional value can be given to the family, especially Tong Shuyao, who needs more nutrition than others now.

Zhang Ze selected ten fish, but none of them were king fish. Some of them were infected with ciguatera, some had parasites, some had poisonous dorsal fins but no problems inside their bodies, and some had extremely poisonous stonefish.

The angelfish and tiger fish are naturally toxic, and he wanted to see what the difference would be between these fish after the conversion and fish carrying the ciguatera parasite.

Select and click Convert, and the experience points will instantly decrease by 857 points.

The experience points required for each fish are different, but fortunately the conversion time is the same.

After finishing, Zhang Ze went to collect the remaining two longlines. He originally planned to sort out the king fish of the past two days first.

Those that need to use the growth function and those that can be sold directly are classified.

But thinking that there were still two longlines that had not been collected, and perhaps I would catch some king fish or something, I decided to collect them first.

The harvest these two days has been a bit exaggerated, but not all king-level creatures need to use the growth function, and some of the low-value ones don’t need to be used.

Ten thousand experience points is still too much. Zhang Ze doesn't feel bad about using them, but it's slow to collect them! He came to the longline, picked up the float and slowly pulled the rope up, then tied it to the winch and started the winch.

The winch slowly turned and the longline was slowly pulled up.

Unlike the longlines used to fish for deep-sea fish, the shallow-water longlines do not sink very deep and are pulled up quickly.

The first one is the star-spotted sea bass, which is also a type of spiny bass, with wavy patterns on its body.

This fish is slightly cheaper than the red snapper, and the texture of the meat seems to be a little different, but it is also a high-value grouper.

This is considered a good start, but a good start in longline fishing has never been a good sign for Zhang Ze.

But today is an exception because there are many fish here.

After Zhang Ze collected all the longlines, he got another 413 fish. Fortunately, the space was upgraded and increased by 10 cubic meters, otherwise all these fish might not be able to fit in.

When I finished the work, it was already past midnight.

The harvest this time was very good, and Zhang Ze planned to go back after prying up the coral.

Back in the cabin, the fish he had selected in the space had been transformed.

He observed carefully and found that the fish infected with ciguatera and parasites had changes in the indicators above their heads.

The original ciguatera poison and parasite warnings have disappeared, and the nutritional value has been increased by 10% to 30%.

The more experience points required, the more toxins or parasites there are.

Among the ten selected fish, the one with the highest improvement was a 37-pound blue grouper, whose nutritional value was increased by exactly 30%, and the experience value required at that time was exactly 100 points.

Zhang Ze is not sure whether the highest conversion rate is 30% or something like that, this requires more experiments.

The lobster with parasites requires the lowest experience points for conversion, which only requires ten points, and the nutritional value increased is only ten points.

After roughly understanding the situation after the transformation, Zhang Ze looked at the three-colored iris and the stonefish.

The experience points converted from these two fish are both 100 points, and the nutritional value is increased by 30%, but there is a note of caution in the prompt.

(The effect lasts for seven days. After seven days, changing the target will start producing toxins again and cannot be changed again.) Zhang Ze understood that these fish that can produce toxins by themselves have a time limit.

As he was hungry at the moment, he simply took out the tricolor scorpionfish and stonefish as a midnight snack.

But he was still careful when handling their toxic fins.

The system showed that it was non-toxic, but he didn't want to be a guinea pig for an experiment, and it would be painful to be pricked.

At the same time, he used the conversion function to convert all the remaining problematic fish except the king fish.

Although there was no king fish after the last two longlines were pulled up, the experience value was over 2,000.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There are not so many problematic aquatic products in the space, and there are only seventy-three including the king fish, so it is more than enough for conversion.

This ratio is actually quite low. A total of more than 1,400 fish were harvested this time, but only 83 of them carried harmful substances.

Excluding those that are poisonous or carrying parasites, there are only forty-six fish left that are infected with ciguatera poison.

However, the amount of ciguatera toxin carried also varies. Most of the ciguatera toxins carried have little effect on the human body, and may only cause diarrhea or something.

There are only three really serious ones, and the experience points that need to be converted exceed fifty.

Such low data is also the main reason why Zhang Ze had no problems selling fish before.

But now with the conversion function, these fish have become treasures in his eyes. At least their nutritional value has been greatly increased after the conversion.

Now, Zhang Ze processed the three-color calamus and stonefish.

It is more convenient to cook noodles for a midnight snack, but he wanted to know if the taste of the converted fish would be any different.

So cut a small half of each fish and steam it, and use the rest to make porridge.

Although the fish were not very big, weighing one pound and two pounds, it was a lot for him personally.

Therefore, when making seafood porridge, you can also share some black fungus.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the delicious smell of seafood.

Zhang Ze served out the portion for Xiao Hei first and put it aside to cool, then added some seasoning to his own porridge to make the seafood porridge taste richer.

With a few "sizzling" sounds, the steamed fish was sprinkled with hot oil, and tonight's midnight snack was finally ready.

After bringing the fish and porridge to the table, Zhang Ze sat down, picked up the bowl, and took a small sip of the hot porridge first.

It’s very fresh, with a hint of the sweetness of the rice itself, and tastes very good.

Although he took another bite of the fish in the porridge, the taste was still the same, and the fish was cooked so soft that there was nothing special in terms of texture.

It was also the first time for Zhang Ze to use these two kinds of fish to make porridge, so it was difficult to compare them.

He took a sip of water to clear the taste in his mouth, and then began to taste the steamed fish.

After taking two bites of the fish, Zhang Ze's eyebrows raised involuntarily.

As we all know, when both eyebrows are raised, it means the food tastes great.

Not to mention the freshness and sweetness, basically all the top-quality fresh seafood has this taste.

But the sweetness of this one is obviously better than what Zhang Ze had eaten before. The contrast is very obvious.

The 30% nutritional increase also significantly improves the taste of the fish itself.

Then he tried the stonefish and found the improvement was equally obvious. After eating the fish, he no longer wanted to eat pork.

It seems that I still need to think of a way to fool Zhao Xianghua. If the taste can be improved so much, it will be a loss to sell it to him at a normal price! It is impossible for his family to consume all the converted aquatic products, so it is certain that they will sell some of them.

After a long nap, Zhang Ze quickly finished his midnight snack and then brought Xiao Hei's midnight snack to the cabin hall.

At this moment, Xiao Hei was lying on his back in his doghouse and sleeping soundly. As a dog with nothing to do during the day, he chased the ball given to him by Zhang Ze and played on the boat for most of the day. He was very tired.

Zhang Ze prepared quite a few toys for it, mainly because he was afraid that this half-grown dog would be too energetic and bite things everywhere, so he simply let it play until it was tired.

Seeing that it was sleeping soundly, he put the porridge aside, picked up the dog and turned it over to make it stand.

Xiao Hei had a confused look on his face, his eyes were open but his soul was still wandering outside.

"Are you hungry? Come, have a midnight snack before going to bed." Zhang Ze smiled and touched its head, then put the porridge in front of it.

Xiao Hei lowered his head to look at the porridge, then raised his head to look at the "kindred spirit" in front of him. He was not used to the fact that his master sometimes suddenly became a member of the same tribe as him, even after several months.

“Pah~”

"What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will poison you? Eat!"

"." Xiao Hei, who was patted on the forehead, shrank his neck, looked at his master whose face had changed again with some confusion, then lowered his head and obediently ate his midnight snack.

Zhang Ze began to stroke Xiao Hei's body with satisfaction. The feel was average, not as good as a cat's at all, so he gave a bad review.

'How about getting a cat and petting it when you have nothing to do?'

Early the next morning, Zhang Ze did not go fishing, but took out the deep-sea fish in the space and chilled them.

Of course, the fish king also had to take a picture or something.

For example, mouse spots, take a photo and then put them back into the space.

Secondly, the king fish collected were also classified. The seven-band grouper, which needed to be transformed and grown, was temporarily left in the space.

When we go back and take out the manta ray, the space will be large enough to keep it for a while.

He kept clicking the whole morning and caught so many fish that Zhang Ze almost used up a roll of film.

After satisfying his desire to take pictures, he put away the camera contentedly.

As for the shallow-water fish that could be raised, Zhang Ze did not take them out. He would deal with them when he returned to the dock.

After lunch, Zhang Ze rested for a while, warmed up on the deck, then changed into a diving suit, put on an oxygen tank and tools, and continued to go into the water.

Today he will get the coral out and then go home.

He dived into the water again, and as soon as he lowered his head, he found that there were a lot of fish shadows about ten meters below him. It was obvious that there was a large school of fish at the bottom of the water. (End of this chapter)
