Chapter 2133: First regiment too cowardly
According to the data, there were no powerful lifeforms here, nor were there any in the lake waters.
Whether it was because of the excellent bait Ye Zhongming had provided or because the Fizz fish—each over a meter long and weighing fifty to sixty jin—were simply too easy to catch, within two hours, each person had caught an average of over thirty fish. With over ninety people, that amounted to nearly three thousand fish.
This was even accounting for the fact that during the final half hour, the catch rate had slowed, likely because the local fish population had been largely depleted. Otherwise, the total would have been even higher.
Ye Zhongming collected all the fish and told everyone they were heading back. He then climbed into Mountain Rage with the fish, leaving the mechanical war beast to follow along with the group.
Ye Zhongming would not have come here to fish without good reason. On the Planet Hunting Ground, it truly aligned with a saying he had once heard on Earth: "Hundreds of thousands in a minute!"
Two hours of fishing, plus nearly ten hours of travel time round trip—he had no leisure to spare.
The reason he wanted these fish was naturally significant—in fact, very significant.
The bones of these fish were a material Ye Zhongming needed, and a very precious one at that.
Others were not fully aware of this. It was the Library Palace that, in its quest to detoxify its members, had conducted in-depth research on almost all kinds of materials. Through that research, they had discovered that Fizz fish bones, when processed using special techniques, were an exceptionally high-quality material for armor. They typically reduced the weight of equipment without affecting its toughness. On the contrary, they significantly increased defensive capabilities. Moreover, when the armor came into contact with water, it also greatly reduced resistance.
