Chapter 216

The River Dolphin manager walked in front of Liang Qu and Li Shoufu; the three stepped on the floating wood platform built on the water, and the hemp rope connections creaked.

The smooth backs of the river dolphins broke through the water surface; they rolled on the great lake and then disappeared.

Liang Qu even saw a huge black shadow, nearly thirty meters in size, looming under the water.

Its aura was much stronger than the red beast, approaching the level of a "demon."

Clearly, it was the "Great Leader" of the entire Pingyang County River Office, commanding over a hundred river dolphins.

There was one in the hands of Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin respectively, and it was temporarily unknown where the other one was.

The command system of the entire river dolphin group was like the division of ten-man commanders, hundred-man commanders, and thousand-man commanders.

Ordinary river dolphins were led by the River Dolphin King, and the River Dolphin King was led by the more powerful Spirit Dolphin King, simple and easy to understand, and convenient to manage.

Several bold river dolphins poked their heads out and hissed at Liang Qu standing on the wooden frame.

They didn't know which companion would be taken away today.

The manager carried a wooden bucket full of small fish, fed a few pickled mackerel to the river dolphins that approached, and pointed forward.

"It's right here; inject your blood and qi into it, and you can attract the river dolphin corresponding to the token. Master Liang, are you sure you want to choose 374? The last digit is an even number, which means it's a female beast."

One hundred small merits for a river dolphin wasn't cheap.

The reason it was like this was because river dolphins were different from treasure herbs and treasure plants.

Treasure plants and herbs were gone after eating, but river dolphins were capable helpers under the water; exchanging small merits for river dolphins was equivalent to using the money earned to buy a new loom; it looked like there was less money, but in reality, it would earn more in the future.

But river dolphins would get injured, and it was even more impossible for them to work tirelessly.

Just like buying a loom, you definitely had to buy a good one; that was worth it, and it could earn back the invested money faster.

He really couldn't figure out why Liang Qu wanted to exchange for a female one.

Breeding?

Don't joke; not to mention the low breeding rate of river dolphins, even if they really got pregnant and didn't miscarry, the pregnancy period would be over a year.

Plus the growth of the little river dolphin, it would be impossible for them to form combat power without three to five years.

With that time, it would be better to exchange for more adult river dolphins and carry out "interest rolling."

"I'm sure."

"Alright, Master Liang, please."

The manager gestured with his hand; persuading once was good intention, but persuading repeatedly would offend people, which wasn't worth it.

Liang Qu wrapped the token around his wrist and skillfully drew his blood and qi into the mini river dolphin token marked with the number.

"374..."

A water line flew from afar, raising a white water curtain, circling around Liang Qu on the floating wood.

To be honest, Round Head often brought Jiang Xiao Tun to sneak back to the River Office to see its wife, but this was Liang Qu's first time seeing it.

From the body size, the female river dolphin's figure was more slender, not as "fat" as the male, and the color was also lighter; there were indeed gender differences.

He also remembered that before Round Head evolved, its body size was around six meters, but the one in front of him was only five meters.

Could they still mate?

Liang Qu had a strange association; the body size difference between the current Round Head and its wife almost reached double.

No, Scar Head's wife was also an ordinary river dolphin, but it was also over eight meters; perhaps this was the biological characteristic of river dolphins?

"Sorry to trouble the two of you for accompanying me."

Liang Qu received the river dolphin and thanked Li Libo and the river dolphin manager.

"Master Liang is too polite; it's my duty."

"Let's go, Ah Zhen!"

Liang Qu instantly took a name for Round Head's wife; after calling it a few times, he let Ah Zhen remember its name.

Sitting on the boat and rowing out for several miles, Round Head, having received the news early, waited in the distance with Jiang Xiao Tun; seeing Ah Zhen beside Liang Qu, the big and small ones couldn't wait to fly over.

They had been separated for nearly three months on the surface, and now that they were finally reunited, the family was very happy, and they had been playing and chasing around the boat.

Liang Qu sat on the edge of the boat and took out the two Water Source Fruits.

The Water Source Fruit looked very similar to an apple, but the skin was dark blue and elongated.

A treasure plant worth twenty small merits, apart from increasing blood and qi, it also had the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, and nourishing the kidneys and blood; it was almost an enhanced version of the Cockscomb Fruit; he didn't know how the effect was.

Taking a bite, a faint sweet taste permeated his mouth; the texture was average, sandy, and there was a thick water vapor.

He ate two of them.

【Water Ze Essence +242】

【Water Ze Essence +239】

Not very much.

Liang Qu frowned.

One could be said to be poor quality control, but two were about the same, basically explaining that the effect was around this range.

Two small merits for three Cockscomb Fruits obtained about 25 Water Ze Essence, equivalent to 12.5 Water Ze Essence per small merit.

Calculating the Water Source Fruit in front of him, one small merit only had 12 points of Water Ze Essence, actually half a point less than the Cockscomb Fruit?

No wonder the Cockscomb Fruit was always a best-seller.

It was estimated to be an exchange item with a very high cost-performance ratio in the River Office.

It was a bit like a flagship product in a store; it wasn't necessarily better than other products, but the cost-performance ratio was definitely high, and it could be cultivated in large quantities to meet the huge demand of martial artists.

However, ordinary people might not be able to distinguish the difference too much.

Others didn't have the Ze Ding to quantify the effect of underwater treasure plants through Water Ze Essence.

A difference of 0.5 compared to 12, a difference of 4%, definitely not many people could feel it.

"I have to accumulate small merits again, and try to exchange for all the treasure plants under thirty small merits to see if there are any with a higher cost-performance ratio."

Liang Qu set a small goal, let Round Head take its wife back to the lotus root water area to settle down, and went home to eat.

The next day, which was also the last day of working on the River Office's building boat, Liang Qu went to the boat again to exchange for small merits, and then holed up at home to cultivate for the next few days, never going to the River Office.

Nothing else, the River Office was moving, so he would hide for a while first.

The conflict between Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin was too great.

Not to mention life-and-death enemies, at least they were the kind who would squint at each other when they saw each other on the road, and could start a fight with a single sentence.

Previously, the two sides worked separately and didn't interfere with each other; this time, moving to the shore was equivalent to removing the partition in the mandarin duck pot, and the spicy oil and clear soup were mixed together.

As a subordinate of the Xu Yuelong faction, Liang Qu must not go to be an eyesore during this time of fire and water.

Who knew if a subordinate of Wei Lin would suddenly jump out, wanting to curry favor with his superior by killing his prestige.

Liang Qu was just a Galloping Horse martial artist who knew a little water skill, and must not go to be that bird that sticks its head out.

Just hide for seven or eight days, and don't show his face until after the auction on June 18th.

By then, the intensity of the conflict should be smaller.

It wasn't that Liang Qu didn't want to show his face after getting benefits and care from Xu Yuelong, but he would only be looked down upon by Xu Yuelong and others if he did.

What's the use of a subordinate showing off and winning?

Can it earn an extra great merit, win glory for the ancestors, and overwhelm the opponent's arrogance?

No.

Low-end methods of showing off are only loved by those bootlickers who are desperate to squeeze into the circle, belonging to Bao Guowei who likes to rub egg soup on his hair.

Of course, sometimes it's not that the bootlicker is too stupid, but that there is no other way.

Playing the clown to win a smile from a noble is their only way to curry favor with the upper echelons and show their own existence.

Liang Qu was just luckier than them.
