Chapter 323: Chapter 185: A-Level Extraordinary Fish Pond! Terrifying Extraordinary Traits! This Upgrade is Perfect

The fishpond had already formed an independent ecosystem. It didn’t just have plant matter that refreshed daily, but also automatically growing plankton for the fish to eat.

All I had to do each day was find some time to cut some grass, toss it in, and check on the condition of the different types of fish. It was completely hands-off and incredibly convenient.

Whenever I wanted some fish, I could just scoop a few out to eat.

And when I didn’t, the fish inside could freely reproduce, constantly increasing their population.

But after more than half a month of constantly stocking it, the fifty-square-meter pond had reached its limit.

For the past few days, Chen Chong had stopped adding more fish.

He was worried that if the pond became too crowded, it would affect their growth or even lead to die-offs.

Fishpond Cards were extremely hard to come by. Even if Chen Chong stopped stocking it, the fish inside would continue to reproduce over time, and the pond would still become overcrowded.

When that happened, the ecosystem he had so painstakingly built would be severely impacted. Expanding the fishpond was therefore a pressing matter.

’If I want to raise a lot of livestock at home, the fishpond is every bit as important as a pen.’

’If managed properly, the fish might even be hardier...’

’If I can use an Upgrade Card to upgrade it to an A-Level fishpond, the area will expand, and I’ll be able to add a lot more fish. I can grow the population again and build up a massive reserve of fish resources.’

At the same time, Chen Chong believed that the effects of an A-Level fishpond wouldn’t be disappointing, especially since it possessed low-level Extraordinary Traits. It might even have a huge impact on the fish within.

As for enclosures...

’For now, I need to focus on getting enough enclosures to house the animals separately. I can worry about improving their quality later.’

’Even if I can’t get any enclosure Cards, it won’t stop me from going out to capture more animals.’

’Worse comes to worst, I’ll just use other types of buildings that can house them.’

’If that doesn’t work, I can just have the team members build some enclosures from scratch using wood.’

’I’d just lose the growth-accelerating effect from a Building Card, but at least I could keep them. When I get more Building Cards in the future, I can move them in then.’

’Anyway, as long as they’re penned in and have enough food and a safe environment, what does it matter where I raise them?’

The fishpond was a different story. Its purpose wasn’t just to accelerate the growth of the fish inside; it also provided a suitable ecosystem for fish brought back from the wild, drastically increasing their chances of survival and preventing them from dying.

Otherwise, Zhong Fang wouldn’t have been so desperately searching for a Fishpond Card back then.

Relying solely on that one fish pool of his, he could only keep the fish he caught for a few days. Before long, problems would arise—they’d starve, get sick, and eventually die...

Therefore, upgrading the Fishpond Card was a much higher priority than getting more enclosures.

With that thought, Chen Chong decided to act immediately. He took out the Building Upgrade Card, intending to use it on the fishpond.

But before using it, he suddenly remembered something and pulled out the Vacant Land Card from the three Cards he had obtained that day.

This Vacant Land Card was C-Class.

After he used the Vacant Land Card, the room expanded by another few dozen square meters.

By now, Chen Chong’s room had become incredibly spacious, rivaling the size of the living room.

If an unsuspecting person were to walk in, they wouldn’t think it was a bedroom at all, but rather some kind of strange workshop.

Gazing at his newly expanded bedroom, Chen Chong nodded in satisfaction. He held the Building Upgrade Card and, with a thought, used it on the calm surface of the water before him.

Soon, as the Card slowly vanished into a shimmer of light, the fishpond before him began to tremble before undergoing a world-altering transformation.

The fishpond, originally only fifty square meters, expanded several times in an instant with a flash of white light.

Before Chen Chong could react, the ground beneath his feet vanished. Without even a sound, he tumbled into the water with a SPLASH.

The Tiger Striped Dog, which had been right beside him, fell in as well.

Only the Rock Armor Eagle, which had been perched on the Extraordinary Forging Furnace behind them, was spared.

But the sudden event startled it, and it flapped its wings frantically, flying up to the ceiling.

"What the hell!"

Chen Chong burst out of the water, coughing violently and spitting out a few mouthfuls he’d swallowed.

The Tiger Striped Dog surfaced at the same time.

Man and dog quickly swam toward the bank.

By the time they clambered onto dry land, both Chen Chong and the Tiger Striped Dog were soaked to the bone.

He turned to look back and was utterly dumbfounded...

To say the fishpond had gotten "bigger" was a massive understatement.

It bore absolutely no resemblance to the pond from before!

After standing there stunned for a long moment, Chen Chong finally processed what had happened.

"Holy crap... is this my bedroom or the fish’s bedroom?"

Even the Tiger Striped Dog and the Rock Armor Eagle had human-like expressions of shock on their faces.

It was as if they were just as baffled.

They never expected the familiar pond they saw every day to suddenly become so enormous. It completely blew their minds!

The entire bedroom was now almost completely filled by the fishpond.

Aside from the bed by the window, a wardrobe, and the incubator and Extraordinary Forging Furnace near the door, every inch of open space in the room had been swallowed by water.

All that remained was a narrow path, less than half a meter wide, running along the four walls.

’I can’t tell if the upgraded pond’s area just happened to end there, or if the Card was smart enough to sense the surroundings and intentionally leave a walkway.’
