Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 176: 173 Suspicion

Chapter 176: Chapter 173 Suspicion

After fertilization, a female fish will lay tens of thousands of eggs each year.

In the wild, the hatching rate of fish eggs is 10%, whereas with human intervention, the hatching rate can be significantly increased, but it generally falls between 30% and 70%.

This is because, during fish mating, not every egg is guaranteed to be fertilized successfully, and a small portion of the eggs will beco dead or deford from the ti they are laid until they hatch.

So even with artificial breeding, the normal hatching rate for fish eggs usually only reaches about half, and if it gets to seventy percent, that would be considered extraordinarily lucky.

Now Tian Yuan told him that the hatching rate of these eggs had reached ninety-nine percent, and Qin Shaoyou was completely dumbfounded.

Tian Yuan thought that the eggs were carefully selected by him, but only Qin Shaoyou knew that, as it was the first experint, he hadn’t paid much attention to it, leaving behind most of the eggs; he had only chosen one-tenth as a sample, and even that was done at random, without going through any screening process.

Who could have imagined that these eggs could have a ninety-nine percent hatching rate? Qin Shaoyou, as a researcher, was well aware of what this monstrous figure ant, so his mind was in total disarray, unable to make heads or tails of it.

Who the hell could tell him what on earth was going on here? Why were the fertilization and hatching rates of these eggs so high?

“That being said, even if the eggs were carefully selected, having such a result is not bad at all, and with just a five percent hatching rate for your German Red Pine, even when these fry grow into authentic Germans, you’re going to make a killing,”

Envy flashed in Tian Yuan’s eyes, “You should thank the person who sold you the angelfish. Even though she fleeced you for one hundred twenty thousand yuan, the return she gave you is thousands of tis that.”

Tian Yuan spoke carelessly, but Qin Shaoyou listened with great interest.

When Tian Yuan ntioned the purebred German Red Pine, Qin Shaoyou thought of Huo Sining and recalled the woman’s mysterious and masterful fish rearing techniques. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Huo Sining could easily cure Ouyang Jun’s almost dead Flower Monkfish and bring out the color in the scalation of red and white koi ahead of ti. Could it be that the high hatching rate of these eggs was also related to her?

Deep down, Qin Shaoyou felt this was preposterous. Even if Huo Sining’s fish rearing skills were exceptional, could they really change the fertilization and breeding of fish? That was utterly absurd.

Yet, apart from this reason, Qin Shaoyou could find no other place to harbor his suspicions.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Huo Sining was suspicious, and he beca increasingly curious about the strange secrets hidden within this girl. His eyes sparkled with inquiry and doubt, and he was determined to unravel this mystery.

Huo Sining had selected the goods she needed and was about to pay when Qin Shaoyou and a man in a white lab coat ca out.

The man appeared to be in his late twenties, roughly the sa age as Qin Shaoyou. Huo Sining was slightly stunned for half a second but quickly guessed that this must be Tian Tian’s brother, the owner of Qingmu Fish Farm, presumably Tian Yuan, the friend ntioned by Qin Shaoyou.

Tian Yuan certainly didn’t miss Huo Sining standing at the doorway. He smiled slightly and nudged Qin Shaoyou’s chest with his elbow, whispering in a voice that only Qin Shaoyou could hear, his tone teasing and ambiguous, “You’re telling , kid, you brought a loli chick this ti, changing your taste? Is this little girl even of age?”

Qin Shaoyou felt a surge of frustration, as if a series of black lines were forming on his forehead. He glanced subtly at Huo Sining and quickly explained, “Don’t start joking about ; she’s my student. I brought her here to introduce her to your business. She has opened an ornantal fish store in the city and needs to stock up on a batch of ornantal fish.”

“Your student? Oh, I forgot, professors like you now guide the freshn.” Tian Yuan had a sudden realization, sizing up Huo Sining from head to toe, and asked in puzzlent, “This girl runs an ornantal fish store? At such a young age, and as a freshman, does she understand how to keep fish?”

Tian Yuan expressed his skepticism about Huo Sining running a fish store.

Hehe, you always act so high and mighty, but I didn’t expect you’d also make such a misjudgnt!

You dare to look down upon the young lady, yet the fish breeding thod her master taught her is way more sophisticated than ours, which rely on instrunts! Even the miraculous breeding you highly praise may well have been figured out by this young girl!

As Qin Shaoyou thought to himself, his facial expression remained unchanged, a gleam flickered in the depths of his eyes, his heart secretly thrilled.

Before eting Huo Sining, Qin Shaoyou didn’t believe in such secret folk skills, but he had truly witnessed Huo Sining’s abilities first-hand and had been thoroughly convinced.

If even the student was so impressive, Qin Shaoyou was very curious about Huo Sining’s master. Could he be even more incredible? Yet why had he never heard of such a person? Could it be that these folk experts were so mysterious and reluctant to show themselves?

Huo Sining had no idea that by simply selling an angelfish for a high price, she nearly exposed her secret.

Fortunately, her offhand fabrication was taken as truth by Qin Shaoyou, preventing any suspicion from falling on her.

But indeed, that angelfish had caused trouble, attracting the curiosity of Qin Shaoyou, the scientific research enthusiast. The days ahead seed unlikely to be peaceful.

After paying for the fish and loading the boxes into the trunk of Qin Shaoyou’s car, Huo Sining was ready to leave. Just then, Tian Tian suddenly seed to rember sothing and asked, “Huo Sining, are you interested in buying flower seeds?”

Caught off guard, Huo Sining was about to reply when Tian Tian couldn’t help but chuckle. Qin Shaoyou, not one to hold back, directly ridiculed, “I’m telling you, Tian Tian, every ti I bring soone over, you try to pull the sa trick. It’s been what, two or three years? How co those seeds still haven’t produced a Golden Lotus?”

Vexed and annoyed, Tian Tian stamped her foot and protested, “Brother Shaoyou, I really didn’t lie! Those seeds were given to

by my maternal grandfather, and he truly told

they were picked from a Golden Lotus!”

Tian Yuan nodded solemnly from the side, “That’s right, our grandfather said so, and he also ntioned that he picked these seeds from a lake decades ago. All these years, he never managed to grow them; not only did they not bloom, but even the seeds’ sprouts never appeared.”

“Brother, how could you do this?!” Tian Tian was imdiately upset with everyone seemingly against her, leaving her in a furor.

Seeing his sister’s eyes brimming with tears and her beautiful eyes glaring at him in frustrated sha, Tian Yuan couldn’t help but sigh, patting his sister’s head and said, “Aren’t you ruining my business? Miss Huo is a guest your Brother Shaoyou brought over. If you deceive her, won’t it put your Brother Shaoyou in a difficult position?”
