Chapter 202: Expanding Underwater Influence

Finless Porpoise group!

Liang Qu raised an eyebrow.

Today's good news was coming wave after wave.

Finless Porpoises are known as the wolf packs of the river!

When he first commanded Yuan Tou, he was attracted by the Finless Porpoise group's extremely high organizational ability. Even if the group's level was slightly weaker, through concerted cooperation, they could still fight spirit monsters of a higher realm.

And by commanding one leader, the subordinates would organize a team themselves, which was equivalent to indirectly having many more subordinates, and it could also free up space in his mental link.

Previously, hindered by Yuan Tou's own lack of strength, it was just an ordinary member of the Finless Porpoises and couldn't fight those wild leaders, so it had never built its own foundation.

He hadn't expected that it would bring him such good news just a few days after evolving.

Liang Qu was in a good mood.

"Eat first."

Yuan Tou sending such a message ruined his plan to tease the dog in the morning, but breakfast still had to be eaten.

"Master, eat breakfast."

After letting A-Wei finish injecting the poison, Liang Qu shouted toward the west wing room and ran to the kitchen first.

The wooden bucket was filled with white porridge emitting steaming heat, and there were several steamer baskets of buns on the side, half beef and mushroom, half vegetable and mushroom, plus a plate of stir-fried eggs and a dish of salted green beans.

Mother Zhang wiped her hands on her apron: "Master, see if there is anything else you need, I'll go do it right away."

"No need, it's quite good."

As a cook, Mother Zhang naturally had a specialty, and her monthly wages were two hundred copper coins higher than Mother Li, who washed clothes.

Liang Qu moved a stool and sat down, served a bowl of white porridge for the old monk, served a bowl for himself, and just picked up a pair of chopsticks of eggs when a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

"By the way, I seemed to see green peppers for sale on the street a few days ago. Next time you go, buy some, cut them into dices, and stir-fry them with eggs. It will be more fragrant."

"Green pepper? Is it that vegetable with smooth skin and seeds inside?"

"Hmm, yes, that's it."

"I've heard people talk about that too. It came from the sea in the south. There are even red ones. They say it's very fragrant when stir-frying vegetables, but it smells too pungent, and it's expensive. I was afraid it wouldn't taste good, so I didn't buy it."

"Try it next time, Mother Zhang."

"Alright."

Liang Qu remembered that the first time he tasted chili was when Lin Di from the fishing column invited him to eat at the Langyun Building last year. At that time, only the restaurant had corresponding dishes.

He hadn't expected that someone would start selling it on the street in early summer this year. It was estimated that local planting had begun on a scale.

In a few days, he would get some big spices and invite everyone to eat hot pot.

Liang Qu drooled at the thought. It had been too long since he tasted scalded, spicy beef and mutton rolls. He missed them very much.

And fried chicken. The Great Shun didn't have deep-fried chicken, but there was gourd chicken, but it wasn't fried with batter.

Liang Qu suddenly found that if he opened a restaurant, the business would probably be good. It was a pity that he didn't have the energy to manage it, so he could only make some for his own people to taste.

Having money is good.

He drank two bowls of porridge with a slurping sound, ate five or six big meat buns, and wrapped a steamer basket in oil paper.

"Master, eat slowly. I have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Good."

Liang Qu grabbed Fu Bo and all kinds of equipment, and hurried to the Great Marsh.

Not far from the pier, a water stage had been built, and Liu Quanfu was busy with a group of his disciples.

Liang Qu steered the boat over.

"Uncle Fu, did you look at the blueprint I gave you last time? You are an old carpenter, is there any problem?"

Liu Quanfu hurriedly put down the wood and marking line in his hand.

"I've seen it, I've seen it. There's no problem. I've already let my apprentice choose the wood.

Last time, there was no experience. When setting up the boards and installing the dragon ribs, we took a bit of a detour. This time, we got the hang of it quickly. It's guaranteed that it will be ready for the master by around the middle of the eighth month."

After trading with the toad and tasting the sweetness, he began to prepare for the second trade.

This time it wasn't a building boat, but a warship that had come with the River Office at the time.

Liang Qu made a small change on the basis of this warship, removing many things that were ugly but useful, and adding some fancy carvings.

Practicality wasn't important; the most important thing was to be handsome.

He still let Liu Quanfu do it, for the same price.

Liu Quanfu naturally had no problem. Not to mention double the wages, looking at it, there would be three, four, five in the future. The work was stable and the price was high, so he definitely had to do it.

Liang Qu nodded and rowed the small boat alone to the depths of the Great Marsh.

Upon reaching the location, the beasts surfaced one after another; Jiang Xiao Tun circled the boat repeatedly, very excited.

Seeing this, Liang Qu took out an oil paper bag from the waterproof compartment and fed a meat bun to it. Jiang Xiao Tun picked up the meat bun, swallowed it in one gulp, and the Fat Catfish secretly lay under it.

"Hey!"

Liang Qu glared at the Fat Catfish.

The Fat Catfish swam away resentfully.

"Quan Tou!"

Quan Tou received the order, its pair of eye stalks firmly staring at A-Fei, turning wherever it went.

Only after being rained on does one want to hold an umbrella for others.

Quan Tou, who grew up in the shadow of the Fat Catfish, followed closely behind the Fat Catfish.

Bu Neng Dong, as a loyal old minister, escorted Liang Qu to the bottom of the water.

Following the perception of Yuan Tou's position, Liang Qu soon saw the wild Finless Porpoise group resting and playing.

He counted slightly, a total of thirteen Finless Porpoises.

Nine were ordinary Finless Porpoises, with a physique of about five meters.

Three cubs, with a body length of less than three meters, were active in the center of the group.

And one Finless Porpoise King with the largest physique, with a body length of over eight meters, only a thread behind Yuan Tou, and there were many scars on its skin, highlighting its fierce battle record.

Not as many as the River Office's Finless Porpoise group.

Liang Qu recalled slightly and found that the River Office's Finless Porpoise groups were generally over twenty, and the larger spirit monsters could rule nearly a hundred.

But it was understandable.

The domestic conditions were much better than the wild ones, with no worries about food and drink, and treasure meat and treasure plants.

The cubs were taken care of by officials themselves. If they were not taken care of properly and caused death, the lightest was twenty military sticks, and the unlucky ones would be exiled if they encountered the inspection twice a year.

Naturally, it was easier to breed and the scale was larger.

Speaking of which, it was fortunate that the River Office had just arrived and didn't have a special breeding farm, and Jiang Xiao Tun was born on the way, so no one knew and it wasn't registered. Otherwise, Yuan Tou really wouldn't have been easy to bring it out.

It might harm others.

Liang Qu called out in his heart.

Yuan Tou, hiding behind the rocks, carefully crossed the "sentry porpoise" of the Finless Porpoise group and joined the main force.

Liang Qu patted Yuan Tou's back: "How is it? Do you have the confidence to defeat the leader?"

Yuan Tou shook its head and patted its chest with its fins, indicating that it had full confidence to defeat that scarred Finless Porpoise and bring glory to the Heavenly God.

"Good, go ahead."

The system of Finless Porpoises is similar to wolf packs and lion prides, also highly efficient cooperation, also united as one, but not exactly the same.

Finless Porpoises are monogamous. Although wolves are also monogamous, in a wolf pack, the tribe members have no wives, and the wolf king has a wolf queen.

Finless Porpoises are more like several families pieced together to live, and then the most powerful one is chosen as the leader.

Therefore, it is not necessary to drive the previous Finless Porpoise King out of the group.

As for killing, there is no such option at all.

"Leave it."

Liang Qu thought about it and felt there was no need to drive the scarred Finless Porpoise away.

A wild Finless Porpoise, its development speed couldn't exceed the water beasts he commanded; that would definitely be a ghost.
