The huge figure was frightened and drilled into the coral reef.Su Jing directed the killer whale to catch up quickly. Although the killer whale was much faster, there were too many coral reefs to track. It took a long detour to get close to the giant figure. Su Jing finally saw that it was really a Humphead Wra.s.se, which was about two meters long. The largest Humphead Wra.s.se found so far is only 2.5 meters and a Humphead Wra.s.se of two meters or so this length is absolutely rare.
“Such a large Humphead Wra.s.se, I don"t think that the Zhongyun Oceanarium has any of this size. I don"t know if they want it or not?”
Su Jing"s mind suddenly moved, and the idea of Zhongyun Oceanarium came up again. Since Zhongyun Oceanarium is expanding the two exhibition areas, it naturally needs a lot of marine life. They don"t necessarily have a huge Humphead Wra.s.se of about two meters. They should want it. In Ye Bo"s words, it"s not selling, it"s delivering, and Zhongyun Oceanarium isn"t buying, it"s subsidizing.
Su Jing takes the killer whale with him. It"s very easy to catch the Humphead Wra.s.se. He can shoot the Humphead Wra.s.se unconscious when it leaves the reef, but he doesn"t want to hurt the Humphead Wra.s.se. He hesitates and takes out a meatball from his sealed bag, He intends to attract it with the Magical Beast meatball. The main reason why he dares to do so is that he is protected by the killer whale, even if sharks come, it"s not very scary. Of course, he did not dare to publicize it too much, he is always alert and once the situation is bad, he will quickly throw down the meatball and withdraw.
Su Jing grabbed the Magical Beast meatb.a.l.l.s in his hand and quickly attracted a variety of fish. Several small Humphead Wra.s.se were also attracted. The two-meter Humphead Wra.s.se also emerged from the coral reef and approached slowly.
Su Jing saw the giant Humphead Wra.s.se approached and did not rush to grab it. Instead, he gave a meatball to the giant Humphead Wra.s.se and touched it with his hands. Humphead Wra.s.se had a mild personality, coupled with the delicious temptation, it allowed Su Jing to touch it without evasion.
Su Jing continued to feed Humphead Wra.s.se two meatb.a.l.l.s and p.r.i.c.ked a needle in its tail, dropping blood on Ten Thousand Beasts Tablet. Then he heard Humphead Wra.s.se"s voice: “It"s good, I still want to eat more.”
Su Jing smiled and used the meatb.a.l.l.s to lead Humphead Wra.s.se to the surface.
Humphead Wra.s.se kept calling: “I want to eat, please give it to me.”
Su Jing smiled and said: “If you want to eat, just come with me.”
Then he directed the killer whale and swam to the sh.o.r.e. The Humphead Wra.s.se was greedy and whenever it didn"t want to follow, Su Jing would give him some Magical Beast meatb.a.l.l.s to eat and the Humphead Wra.s.se followed. Su Jing chatted with Humphead Wra.s.se all the way. Although the content of the chat was very childish, it gradually dispelled Humphead Wra.s.se"s defense and Su Jing was able to establish a friendly relationship with the Humphead Wra.s.se.
Up to the sh.o.r.e of the backyard, Su Jing went ash.o.r.e and immediately called Fan Weishen, curator of Zhongyun Oceanarium, the phone number he left when he traded Hammerhead Shark.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Su. Is there anything wrong?” Fan Weishen asked, obviously remembering Su Jing.
“Curator Fan, I"ve got a Humphead Wra.s.se. Would you like it?” Su Jing said.
“Young man, It"s illegal to catch a Humphead Wra.s.se,” Fan Weishen said.
“I know, but I caught it carelessly. You want me to let it go.” Su Jing smiled.
“How Big.” Fan Weishen asked casually.
“I measured it, two meters long.” Su Jing said bluntly.
“What, how long did you say?” Fan Weishen jumped out of his chair.
“Two meters long,” Su Jing said.
“Where is it, I"ll bring someone over immediately.” Fan Weishen is thrilled. The two-meter-one Humphead Wra.s.se is more precious than the common shark. Humphead Wra.s.se is a very good ornamental fish, and its treasure makes it absolutely popular to join the aquarium. Moreover, Humphead Wra.s.se has great research value, if it can be artificially reproduced, it may be able to solve the crisis of endangerment.
Fan Weishen took seven or eight people to the beach in Su Jing"s backyard and they were all stunned. In their astonishing sight, Su Jing was playing with a huge Humphead Wra.s.se in the seawater on the sh.o.r.e. Fan Weishen and others couldn"t help rubbing their eyes and suspecting that they were hallucinating.
“Old Xue, Can Humphead Wra.s.se become this intimate with people?” Fan Weishen turned to a middle-aged man with a beard.
“Humphead Wra.s.se has a gentle personality and is not angry even when touched, but it has never played with people on its own initiative.” Xue Zhonghong shook his head and his face was incredible. As Beast Tamer, an animal doctor in the ocean museum, he knew animals like the palm of his hand and dared to approach all kinds of dangerous marine organisms. However, at this moment, he had to bow down to Su Jing.
“So what is going on?” asked Fan Weishen.
“I don"t know.” Xue Zhonghong grinned bitterly.
“Young man, can you help me put it in the water tank?” Fan Weishen turned to look at Su Jing in the water and asked very politely.
“Yes, but let"s talk about the price first.” Su Jing smiled.
“How about 10,000? It should be able to make up for your fishing costs and labor costs?” Fan Weishen laughed.
“No, you don"t know the value of this Humphead Wra.s.se. It can help you attract a lot of tourists.” Su Jing shook his head.
“Do you know that the Humphead Wra.s.se is a protected animal?” Fan Weishen said.
“Of course I know, I"ll never sell it as food or hurt it, but if your price is not right, I"ll let it go.” Su Jing laughs.
“…” Fan Weishen was speechless for a while. The young man seemed to be a good talker, but in fact, he was very refined. Nevertheless, when Su Jing said that even if he let it go, it would never be sold as food, he still had some good feelings.
“You may also know the true value of Humphead Wra.s.se, but we are short of funds recently. I"m afraid we can"t afford that price. After all, we have to take good care of it and spend a lot of money. Let me make a quick and direct offer. If you think so, let us have it. If you don"t think so, please let it go. Fan Weishen said sincerely.
“Okay.” Su Jing nodded.
“Fifty thousand.” Fan Weishen put out his palm
“Deal.” Su Jing readily agreed, After listening to Fan Weishen"s words and appreciating Fan Weishen"s style, he didn"t intend to raise the price too hard. Moreover, according to Fan Weishen"s att.i.tude, the price increase will only put everyone in a bad mood.
Su Jing helped Fan Weishen, Xue Zhonghong and others to trap the Humphead Wra.s.se in a water tank. Although he is a little sorry about this Humphead Wra.s.se, it can also live comfortably in the ocean hall. If the ocean hall can develop a method of artificial reproduction of Humphead Wra.s.se, it"s a credit to the species of Humphead Wra.s.se and it"s worth it.
“Mr. Su seems to know a lot about oceanic fish. Do you know anything about dolphins?” Before leaving, Xue Zhonghong asked.
“I know something, why did Mr. Xue ask this question?” Su Jing wondered.
“Well, there"s a very popular dolphin in the aquarium. Some time ago, It started to lose its appet.i.te. He was depressed all day and didn"t listen to the commands. It"s been more than half a month. We can"t check the problem. We tried countless ways and didn"t work. I don"t know if Mr. Su can help us to see it.” Xue Zhonghong asked.
“Well, I"ll take some time to visit tomorrow.” Su Jing says that and although it"s not his business but since he happens to know it, it"s okay to go and see it. Although Su Jing doesn"t necessarily know better than professionals, there are some advantages he posses that no one else has. In addition, it is also good to visit the ocean hall by the way. He can first know some species he has never seen before and then he can see them on the sea after understanding them.
“We will be waiting.” Xue Zhonghong"s eyes lit up.
“Mr. Su, You are welcome to the Ocean Pavilion anytime. With this card, tickets are free.” Fan Weishen handed Su Jing a card, which obviously meant to be a kind gesture. Su Jing provided the Nautilus, hammerhead shark, Humphead Wra.s.se for the ocean museum, and a free card would not go too far. Besides, Su Jing seems to have a high level of accomplishment in taming fish. If he could really restore the dolphin, it would be even more worthwhile to pay him a lot of money to work in the aquarium.
Fan Weishen and Xue Zhonghong were worried about Humphead Wra.s.se and did not dare to wait. They drove the Humphead Wra.s.se back to the aquarium.
