Chapter 69: Soil of Atlantis?

Inside the breeding farm.

Chen Feng and his companions were diligently scooping up blue-ringed jellyfish. With three laborers already working, Chu Lin opted not to join them in the water. Instead, he took out his phone and scrolled through short videos to pass the time.

At first, the videos seemed quite ordinary—curvaceous young women, long-legged beauties, dazzling and delightful. But suddenly, a news clip with over a million likes appeared:

“The man involved in the case of three non-biological children after sixteen years of marriage has successfully divorced today. It’s reported that during the divorce proceedings, his wife gave birth to a fourth child.”

“The father of the fourth child is not the man in question, nor is he the father of the other three children. The wife insists she didn’t cheat and claims that blood relations aren’t that important…”

“???” Chu Lin and Chu Ran both had a strong urge to curse.

He had simply been enjoying some eye-catching videos, admiring the enticing beauties, when this news abruptly appeared, challenging his resolve.

Inside the breeding pool, Chen Feng, Li Yan, and Zhu Xin were all stunned, staring blankly at Chu Lin.

What kind of outrageous news had they just heard?

“This woman is truly ruthless!” Chen Feng exclaimed.

Zhu Xin’s mouth hung open. “Having three children who aren’t yours is already terrifying, but the fact that they’re not even from the same father is even worse!”

“It’s actually four, all with different fathers,” Li Yan added sheepishly.

“Damn!” Chu Lin grumbled, once again grateful that he had already settled down.

His resolve grew even firmer.

Soon, Chen Feng and his two companions finished gathering the more than two thousand blue-ringed jellyfish and six Neptune groupers, loading them onto the specialized transport vehicle.

“Lin, should we head over together?” Chen Feng asked.

Chu Lin replied promptly, “You go ahead; I have some things to prepare.”

Now that the breeding farm was secured, it was time to use the Atlantis Blessing Stones to calibrate the two breeding pools.

These pools were to be open to the public. Not only would the farm staff monitor them daily, but clients might also come to inspect them in the future.

Therefore, it was necessary to disguise the Atlantis Blessing Stones in two ways.

One was the issue of the water becoming crystal clear, which needed to be concealed with Atlantis Aster Grass.

The other was that Atlantis creatures could only reproduce in water calibrated with the Blessing Stones.

Additionally, the blue-ringed jellyfish only gained their speed +2 attribute in such water.

Once placed in ordinary pools, they lost all special attributes.

This would naturally raise questions.

So, he needed to pretend to add something to the pools, making people believe that whatever he was adding was responsible for the effects.

As for what to add, it was simple—he could just use some harmless protein powder.

But he dismissed the idea.

Protein powder was too recognizable and lacked credibility.

Suddenly, an idea struck him: “Perhaps I should see if this works.”

With that thought, he grabbed a hoe and mentally entered the Atlantis map.

Upon arrival, he used the hoe to dig into the ground.

The surface of the Atlantis map was essentially a type of soil, hardened by special effects but not impeding movement.

Animals refreshed on the Atlantis map could be brought out.

But what about the Atlantis soil itself?

He scooped up a chunk of soil and checked its description:

[Atlantis Soil: Ordinary!]

[This is a piece of common Atlantis soil, with a particle structure different from real-world soil—soil that doesn’t exist in reality. However, it possesses no special effects or attributes!]

Chu Lin’s eyes lit up at the description.

Wasn’t this the perfect disguise?

It didn’t matter that the soil had no special effects or attributes.

He didn’t need the soil to have any.

As long as it was a type of soil that didn’t exist in the real world, it would suffice.

It could perfectly complement the Atlantis Aster Grass in concealing the Blessing Stone.

If anyone asked, everything could be attributed to the soil.

Since no one else had this soil, there was no way to verify his claims.

Excited, Chu Lin began digging vigorously in the small Atlantis map.

He then brought in a sieve, gathered the soil, and transported it out of the map.

He didn’t need much—just enough to mix with regular soil and spread across the bottoms of the two breeding pools.

Perhaps this would even make people think the ordinary soil was being used to cover the Atlantis soil.

Moreover, it needed an air of mystery, so others would speculate on their own—only their own conjectures would make them more convinced.

That way, no one would know that the wonders of the two breeding pools stemmed from the two stones.

After preparing the Atlantis soil, he went to the five-hundred-acre bay, ready to deal with the Atlantis Aster Grass.

But as he arrived, he paused.

The air here seemed slightly fresher than inside.

To confirm, he stepped back inside and carefully sensed the difference, then returned to the bay.

Sure enough, the air was indeed better here.

He realized that the air clarity +1 effect of the Atlantis Aster Grass was beginning to manifest.

For now, he could only rely on his senses. He planned to buy an air quality detector later to test it thoroughly.

He looked into the bay, and his eyes brightened.

The Atlantis Aster Grass planted on the first day had already grown nearly ten centimeters, with more and denser foliage.

The verdant green provided a perfect accent to the crystal-clear seawater.

Thanks to the calibration of the Atlantis Blessing Stones, the bay was already stunningly clear, but now it possessed an additional charm.

Without hesitation, Chu Lin stripped off his clothes and jumped into the bay.

He needed some Aster Grass to disguise the two breeding pools at Linfeng Breeding Farm, so he planned to harvest some from the first day’s growth.

To his surprise, the Atlantis Aster Grass not only grew quickly but also had tightly anchored roots, making underwater harvesting quite strenuous.

Fortunately, he only needed enough for disguise. Once he gathered a suitable amount, he phoned Liu Fa to come over.

“Mr. Chu, do you have any instructions?” Liu Fa asked as soon as he arrived.

“Load this sea grass onto your vehicle,” Chu Lin ordered, then went inside to change out of his wet underwear.

Meanwhile, Liu Fa was captivated by the scene inside the bay, noticing the clearly visible Atlantis Aster Grass.

He’d known the bay was clear, but recalled there hadn’t been any sea grass before—when had so much grown?

It was certainly surprising.

Nevertheless, he didn’t dwell on it and promptly loaded the harvested Aster Grass onto the vehicle.

By the time Chu Lin finished changing, Liu Fa had completed the task, and together they loaded the Atlantis soil from the map onto the truck.

Liu Fa noticed his boss was treating the soil and sea grass with particular importance—were they somehow special?

Though curious, he didn’t ask. He simply focused on doing his job.

Once the soil was loaded, Chu Lin instructed Liu Fa to follow him in the truck, transporting both the Atlantis soil and Aster Grass to Linfeng Breeding Farm.

At the entrance of Linfeng Breeding Farm, Chen Feng had already arrived, but since Chu Lin hadn’t reached yet, he didn’t dare handle the blue-ringed jellyfish and Neptune groupers alone.

Inside, things were lively—the workers were signing legal documents regarding wage disputes with the former farm, a complex process involving 360,000 yuan. Liao Hai and Zhu Xin had to check the details carefully.

Though they weren’t short on money, it didn’t mean they liked being cheated or taken advantage of.

Some matters simply had to be handled properly.

Finally, after waiting a long while, Chen Feng saw Chu Lin’s Panamera pull in, followed by a small truck.

Curious, he went out to greet them.

Lin had specifically brought a truck—what could it possibly be carrying?
