56: The best mutant colorful thunder dragon fish

Chen Xiangbei didn't know what kind of fish it was, so he took it to the experienced Chen Wen and Lu Hu to identify it.

Carrying the fish box, he came to the left side of the boat and saw Chen Wen and Lu Hu fishing, while Xia Qi was playing with the fish they had caught.

Chen Xiangbei spoke to them.

"Come quickly, help me see what kind of fish this is. I've never seen this kind of fish before, and it's quite beautiful."

Hearing his words, they put down what they were doing and walked over.

Chen Xiangbei opened the fish box and scooped out the colorful fish to show them.

When Lu Hu saw the fish, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is a Rainbow Snakehead! How can there be a Rainbow Snakehead in Baiyun Lake?"

"This is indeed a Rainbow Snakehead. It looks like a Seven-Colored Snakehead, but its size is different."

"Seven-Colored Snakehead belong to the medium-sized Rainbow Snakehead and are much smaller. This is clearly the size of a large Rainbow Snakehead," Chen Wen echoed.

"Look closely again," Chen Xiangbei said. "Could it be that it is originally a large Rainbow Snakehead that just hasn't been discovered by Humans yet?"

"It's very possible, because the breeding technology for Rainbow Snakehead is already very mature, and all known varieties are recorded."

"The characteristics of this fish are very similar to the Seven-Colored Snakehead, but its size is outside the range of the Seven-Colored Snakehead."

"Therefore, it can only be a mutation, or an undiscovered, naturally bred new variety!" Chen Wen stated with certainty.

"Quickly put it away, don't let it die. Whether it's a brand new variety or a mutation, there's no doubt it can sell for a very good price."

"That's right, the price of new varieties and mutated Ornamental Fish has always been very high. You're going to strike it rich again, kid!" Chen Wen said enviously.

"Hahaha, it's too early to conclude now. Let's take it back and have everyone appraise it together."

"If it can sell for a good price, then I'll treat everyone to a good meal," Chen Xiangbei said happily.

Catching rare fish made everyone very happy. Witnessing an Ornamental Fish that had never appeared before being caught gave them something to brag about in the future.

After placing the Rainbow Snakehead in a separate container, Chen Xiangbei returned to the stern of the boat to continue working.

After 11:30 PM, they had moved to several different fishing spots and had decent catches, especially Chen Xiangbei.

Every time he changed locations, he could catch some rare fish, but despite being rare, their value wasn't very high, like Guppy, fighting fish, and so on.

They looked rare, but their market value was very common, so they were only destined to be farmed.

Chen Wen and Lu Hu, on the other hand, turned into kings of miscellaneous fish, catching a large tank full of small miscellaneous fish. However, they were also quite happy, as they had never caught so many fish before.

Chen Xiangbei felt it was about time. They had caught most of the fish in this direction, and continuing would yield similar results.

So, he suggested, "We should head back soon. It's getting late, and we have to go to the club to do business tomorrow morning."

"Let's go back then. I'm indeed a bit tired, and Xia Qi is already asleep in the cabin," Chen Wen echoed.

The group packed up their things and drove back towards the Fishermen's Wharf.

On the way back, it just passed midnight, and the System settlement prompt sounded on time.

[Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +10930 yuan, average hourly wage 2732+ yuan, System reward amount 163950 yuan, physique +0.02, settlement points +500, please continue to work hard!]

[Bank card number 4539] received 163950 yuan at 00:01, balance 5651016.5 yuan.

It was all small money. What Chen Xiangbei cared about more were the physique points and settlement points.

Now his physique points had reached 2.1, and his settlement points were 6200, still 3800 short of the System upgrading to level 3, which was expected to take about another week.

Two and a half of the five packs of Secret Bait rewarded by the System had already been used. The remaining two and a half packs should last until the System upgrade.

Fishing didn't use much bait; it was mainly used for chumming, which was necessary and couldn't be saved.

At 12:10 AM, Chen Xiangbei steadily parked the scientific research vessel at the 4th Wharf.

Everyone worked together to do a simple cleaning of the boat and put all the caught fish into the extra-large fish box in Chen Xiangbei's car.

The group agreed to discuss the fish tomorrow and go back to rest for now.

They agreed to meet at Chen Wen's house at 9 AM tomorrow, where the two of them would select the fish first, and the rest would be sold to the group members.

After the agreement, the group went their separate ways, and Xia Qi went home with Chen Wen.

Chen Xiangbei carefully checked the fish box and the oxygen pump. After confirming there were no issues, he drove out of the parking lot and sped away.

Usually, he would be asleep by this time. His biological clock made him a bit sleepy, so he connected his phone to the car's Bluetooth and played an energetic song to refresh himself.

After driving for more than an hour.

He finally returned to the Galaxy International neighborhood. He got out of the car and went to the back compartment, first carrying a box of relatively valuable Ornamental Fish home, then coming back down to carry the other box.

After returning home, he didn't take out all the fish. He only sorted out the Guppy and fighting fish that he planned to keep for himself and put them in the ecological fish tank.

For the rest, he changed their water to clean water, fed them some Secret Bait, and left them in the box. Anyway, they would be taken away early tomorrow morning.

He counted carefully. There were over 160 Guppy, nearly 200 fighting fish, and about 200 more including Mollies, Platies, and other types.

The rest were high-value Ornamental Fish.

There were about 60 Lionhead Goldfish of different varieties, about 50 Goldfish, about 70 Butterfly Koi, and 3 Rainbow Snakehead, one of which was a top-grade mutated Rainbow Snakehead.

So many fish would require about 200 fish tanks tomorrow. The stores should be closed now, so he couldn't buy fish tanks.

It might be too late tomorrow. Did he know anyone? He decided to call Chen Wen and ask if he knew anyone.

"Hey, Wen-ge, we need quite a few fish tanks tomorrow. Excluding the fish you pick, we'll need about 150 more."

"It's too late now, and the fish tank stores are closed. Do you know anyone?"

"You have so many fish! Don't worry, I know a Boss. I'll have him deliver the goods directly to the club tomorrow," Chen Wen replied.

"Okay, no problem then. I won't bother you anymore. Get some sleep early."

"Okay, you rest early too."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiangbei went back to his room to take a shower.

...

The next morning at 6:30, Chen Xiangbei woke up on time.

He first opened his phone to order breakfast delivery, then started an hour of daily exercise.

After the struggle with the "Water Monster" last night, he realized the importance of core strength.

So he increased the intensity of his core strength training, so that when he goes fishing for that Water Monster again, he won't be like a child, being dragged around.

He warmed up with a horse stance, followed by 500 push-ups and 500 squats.

Then finished with a 30-minute plank set.
