Chapter 319 Merging Like Items (Supplement)
Silently agree to merge.

The three cards transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the bottom of the Murloc Cave.

Qin Ziwen waved, signaling the fishmen to come over.

【1级鱼人地穴：2级居住巢穴、1级繁衍增幅、1级体力恢复】（特殊效果：鱼人地穴内繁衍诞生的后代有极低概率返祖）（定居名额：0/2000）

"Should we recruit murlocs?"

"Yes."

Qin Ziwen began recruiting the fishmen behind him.

The group of fish-men, who had just entered their home and were cautiously observing their surroundings, all heard the recruitment announcement at the same time.

After a moment of panic, they all looked at Lorne.

When Lorne heard the recruitment announcement, he immediately accepted.

You have successfully recruited a murloc.

You have succeeded.

Qin Ziwen's ears were filled with the tiny glowing orb of the home.

The messages were densely packed with news of murlocs being recruited.

Qin Ziwen simply turned it off.

Then he waved to the fishmen, "Go into the water and see if you like the environment."

The group of fishmen following behind were suddenly surprised to find that they seemed to be able to understand the human's words.

"Chief, shall we go into the water?" Lorne asked, looking at the deep pool.

Qin Ziwen understood what Lorne meant. Although the other party was still speaking merfolk, there were no obstacles to communication between the two.

It seems this is a minor ability that comes with being recruited by the homestead; the benefit is that he doesn't have to put in the effort to learn a new language.

"Correct."

Watching his elder brother converse fluently with these merfolk, Qin Ziwu was somewhat surprised. When did these merfolk become able to understand human speech?

However, when the fish-people communicate, they still speak their own language.

Qin Ziwu was puzzled. After thinking about it, he figured that his older brother might have acquired some new cards.

As Qin Ziwen beckoned, the fishmen entered the pool one after another.

The cool pool water was just the right temperature for them.

Dive into the bottom space, where a complex ecosystem exists.

The fish were very satisfied with their surroundings.

They loved it here; in the eyes of the fish-men, the surrounding scenery was beautiful.

Some fishmen were surprised to discover three large structures at the bottom of the cave.

Qin Ziwen also discovered these three buildings.

On the far left is a cluster of stone pillars, with rows of pillars standing side by side, forming a huge three-dimensional framework. Different types of seaweed are planted in the gaps between the pillars, and these seaweeds are attached to the surface of the pillars.

This must be the underwater algae garden.

This underwater algae garden is very large, standing 30 to 40 meters tall, and is divided into seven layers.

It was covered with seaweed, which grew extremely abundantly.

[Level 3 Seabed Algae Garden: Level 3 increases algae production, Level 2 improves algae taste, Level 1 eliminates insect odor]

Qin Ziwen looked at the person who had been observing him with a strange expression.

The increase in yield was within his expectations. Planting structures like this usually have characteristics such as increased yield and shorter planting time.

But this is the first time I've encountered such an improved taste.

Doesn't that mean the seaweed grown in this underwater algae garden will taste delicious?

Qin Ziwen refused to believe it; he wanted to see just how delicious it was!

He swam over and picked a section of lush green seaweed. He didn't recognize the variety, but it looked vibrant green and was thin and soft. Besides this type of seaweed, there were six other varieties planted in this seaweed garden, with different species cultivated in each layer.

Many fishermen who had gone into the water swam over and curiously observed the algae garden.

But without orders, they dared not move.

The murlocs have a strict hierarchy. Many valuable things in the tribe are controlled by the upper-class murlocs. Lower-class murlocs can't even eat them, and sometimes they'll get beaten up if they just touch them.

Qin Ziwen looked at another building.

Compared to the underwater algae garden, this building looks significantly more "magical".

Its surface was covered with a layer of translucent, light white water.

It is filled with reefs and corals, and the beach and rock crevices are crawling with plump crabs, as well as schools of scaled fish swimming and foraging. The beach is covered with shellfish.

Large amounts of algae float in the water inside the building.

But unlike the algae in the seabed algae garden, the algae here are more mixed, and the surface is covered with krill.

[Level 3 Underwater Ranch: Level 3 - Accelerated Algae Growth, Level 2 - Eutrophic Water, Level 1 - Accelerated Fish Growth]

Qin Ziwen glanced around and realized that the underwater ranch resembled a small ecosystem.

Most notably, the ecosystem here is extremely rich.

It also has the largest volume of the three buildings.

It occupies almost half of the underwater area.

The last building is a suspended structure that relies on the other side of the inner wall.

This is an arched dock with a wide opening that is embedded in the mountain.

The dock entrance is supported by heavy, reinforced coral pillars, and the interior space is deep, with multiple working platforms, suspended cables, and tool racks fixed to the rock walls.

With the addition of three more buildings, the bottom area felt a bit cramped.

Qin Ziwen took out the building enhancement card: Space.

Choose to use the Murloc Cave.

A huge light enveloped the entire area, and the fishmen covered their eyes.

When the light faded, Qin Ziwen discovered that not only was the interior space ten times larger, but the area of ​​the three buildings had also increased significantly.

The most eye-catching feature is the underwater ranch, which can be seen to have more than three times its original size.

He suspected it might be related to the incorporation of buildings, since the incorporated buildings were already part of the merfolk's crypt, so the crypt expanded, and the buildings grew along with it.

From this perspective, there are still advantages to merging.

Qin Ziwen took out another advanced building card - Weather Altar.

This time, the community did not send any notifications.

It seems that there is not a strong connection between this building and the merman's cave.

Back on land, Lorne followed behind from the water.

Qin Ziwen found a small open space next to the murloc burrow and then chose to use the Weather Altar.

A white light appeared, then settled down with each breath.

A stone altar, covering an area of ​​about ten meters square, stands quietly.

It is circular in shape and is made of grayish-blue rocks of varying shades. The surface of the rocks is covered with natural eddies and holes sculpted by water flow.

In the center of the altar stood a light blue crystal pillar about two people tall.

The crystal column is not completely transparent; inside, there are milky white, flocculent clouds that are constantly flowing.

Behind the altar was a huge white jade disc, on which some gray, flocculent substances were distributed.

[Level 1 Weather Altar: Level 2 Weather Forecast, Level 1 Temperature Difference Prediction, Level 1 Microclimate Stability] (Special Effect: When casting spells to change weather or meteorology at the Weather Altar, the caster will receive a corresponding boost based on the altar's level.)
Lorne's eyes lit up as it gazed at the altar before it, seemingly excited. "This is... an altar."
