"This can’t go on!" After feeding the eel a few kilos of small fish reluctantly, Chen Fan looked at the almost two meter long electric eel with its shiny black back and bright yellow belly, and could not help but let out a long sigh. There were five more days till the end of the month, but he was left with only about 70 RMB. Chen Fan had even thought of killing the electric eel, but this avatar was so entrenched in his mind that even missing a meal would make him feel uneasy. Chen Fan really did not want see what "suicide" felt like; if things backfired and he died from pain, there was no way he could be pensated!
After another sigh and more thinking, Chen Fan decided to push forward with his plan. He had long thought of how he could make the electric eel survive in saltwater, but he had been busy helping the electric eel "put on weight" and had not had the time to figure it out.
The electric eel had been too small previously and might have encountered danger in the ocean, but now it was almost than two meters in length and could generate over 800 volts of electricity. Even if it met some humongous creature, the eel should be able to make it feel squeamish.
Chen Fan was an impatient person. Once he made up his mind on something, he would get down to it immediately. There were only so many hormones in the pituitary gland. After studying the pituitary gland of the electric eel for over ten days, Chen Fan had gained a huge amount of precious experience, and had mitted it to memory.
Focusing his thoughts on the surface of the pituitary gland with much familiarity, Chen Fan chose two areas of a few square millimeters, and then used his self-emitted electromagnetic waves to stimulate them. These two areas were the pivots controlling the liver and gills.
Strengthening them alone was not enough. Chen Fan ran to the kitchen and got a bag of salt, and then sprinkled tens of grams into the fish tank. Any environmental changes in an animal's surrounding would cause a series of reactions in its internal structure. If this animal were strong enough, it would live on after adapting. Otherwise, it would lose its ability to survive in nature.
The electric eel’s adaptability to the salt content in the water was not exactly weak. After putting the salt into the fish tank, Chen Fan only felt slight disfort at the gills. "Hahaha, seems like you like strong flavors too!" Feeling confident, Chen Fan poured in another half of a small bag of salt.
After scrimping and saving for a month, Chen Fan’s replication finally managed to just reach the requirement of surviving in saltwater. About thirty-five grams of salt could be extracted from one liter of saltwater. Through Chen Fan’s calculation, the electric eel replication could just manage to withstand this amount. One month was not really a long time. As its growth hormones had stopped being stimulated, the electric eel only grew another ten centimeters, and its appetite had also dropped significantly to a slightly acceptable size.
"Oh God, from now on, young outstanding talent is finally gonna appear in the Chen family!" Looking at the "result" of his "labor" accumulated over the last two months, Chen Fan started rambling in his excitement. However, he turned gloomy soon after. Although Zhongyun City was only a few miles from the sea on the east, it would not be an easy task, sending the electric eel to the seaside!
Chen Fan did not trust hiring a transport, but the only vehicle he had was an old bicycle. A bicycle was unlike a car. Even with tires full of air,, the journey from his house to the seaside was already enough to tire him out. After a few unrealistic ideas flashed through his mind, Chen Fan scratched his head and finally made up his mind to secretly bring the electric eel to the seaside late at night.
Chen Fan took a glance at his obsolete Nokia phone and realized that it was just after 4:00 in the afternoon. He went into the bedroom and turned on the puter, then logged on to tiexue. He drank some water as he earned points by replying to ments. Chen Fan frequently visited Tiexue. He had registered a sock puppet called "Xia Zhong Cang Jian
