Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

And above the sea, an intense chase was unfolding.

It was the deep-sea water elves in hot pursuit of Ghost Fire Fish.

"Wakuku! (You won't get away!)"

Deep-sea water elf number one, like a fierce grand demon king, gobbled up ten Ghost Fire Fish into its stomach.

"Wakuku wakuku (You are simply too weak!)"

"Wakuku wakuku! (With such meager strength, do you even dream of making a place for yourselves in the ocean!)"

"Pfft, pfft!"

The un-oiled Ghost Fire Fish wanted to ignite, to set this bastard world ablaze, to burn away all life on this earth!

However, just yesterday, they had been plucked clean by the hands of a detestable human, not a drop left.

"Wakuku wakuku! (Get in!)"

With a snap!

Deep-sea water elf number one spit out the Ghost Fire Fish from its body into the floating net cage.

Then, it bounced and swam over to Chen Qi's subordinates, poking its head out, seeking praise.

"Nicely done, number one."

Chen Qi patted the head of deep-sea water elf number one.

He then got off the Black Ship Sea Dragon and, stepping on the water elves, moved over to the side of the floating net cage.

"Breeding Ghost Fire Fish is harder than I imagined."

He repositioned the buoys and supports.

These days, apart from running a restaurant, practicing basic meditation techniques, he was building a Sea Beast farm with Ghost Fire Fish as the mainstay.

The difficulty of Sea Beast farming was higher than he had anticipated.

Yet, thanks to his efforts, the Ghost Fire Fish had settled down.

With no hunting or work to do, and food provided every day, life was truly delightful!

But as soon as the Ghost Fire Fish produced new Ghost Fire Oil, they couldn't help but cause mischief.

His painstakingly constructed sea cages had already been viciously sabotaged several times.

Moreover, the Ghost Fire Fish farm required daily cleaning and feeding.

Luckily, in his past life, he had been a distinguished Guardian Beast Master!

Although the deep-sea water elves had no hands, their soft, slime-like bodies could actually perform many precise operations.

Their combat power was not as strong as dragons, but they were the ultimate handiwork pets!

The strongest beasties for chores!

And he had seven of them!

Finally, with his diligent training and guidance, all seven deep-sea water elves had learned to feed fish, clean rooms,

and also how to collect Ghost Fire Oil, catch fish, chop vegetables, toss in the frying pan, and massage.

They could master these tasks and even outperform humans.

Especially in massage and room cleaning, the deep-sea water elves had surpassed eighty percent of the people!

The deep-sea water elves took on a great deal of work.

If it weren't for the deep-sea water elves, managing the farm alone would have been a disaster.

Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and looked around the Sea Beast farm he had initially set up.

He had spent three thousand Shell Coins on a twenty-meter-long floating net cage.

Besides that, he also farmed black clams and moonlight fish.

Chen Qi estimated that, given the production rate of black clams and Ghost Fire Oil, in just about fifteen days, the sea creatures here would be able to provide him with a harvest worth one and a half million Shell Coins.

For an individual breeder, this was truly a fortune!

And the cost of feed for the Ghost Fire Oil was less than ten thousand.

The deep-sea water elves didn't require wages, so this income was practically all profit!

The only troublesome thing…

Chen Qi shook his head and sighed:

"There's just too much Ghost Fire Oil."

As a single breeder, his supply of Ghost Fire Oil was enough to cover the whole of Moonstone City.

He changed the Ghost Fire Oil market in Moonstone City with his own strength.

The once rare weapon coating Ghost Fire Oil was no longer a scarce commodity in the weapon shops of Moonstone City.

The weapon merchants had already realized that there was too much stock of Ghost Fire Oil.

Ghost Fire Oil was continually depreciating in value.

Now, in just twenty short days, the price of Ghost Fire Oil had plummeted by a full one-fifth.

Therefore, Chen Qi had two ideas.

The first was to become a trader and sell Ghost Fire Oil in other cities.

The second was to increase the demand for Ghost Fire Oil, turning it into a best-selling product. Read latest stories on mvl

In fact, Ghost Fire Oil, as a weapon enchantment coating, was not only highly functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Thus, it had the potential to become a popular product.

It was just missing some advertising.

But to advertise Ghost Fire Oil, unless you are a celebrity like Perla, it was still too difficult.

After Chen Qi finished his work for the day, he took out today's White Dove Times.

#Crack Tide Below, The New Forbidden Marine Areas You Must Know#

#The Three Jades of the Empire, Unbelievably All Gathered in Witch Sea!#

#The Siren's Song, Illusions Above the Great Sea#

#The Navy's First Expedition, Determined to Reclaim Control of the Nearby Seas#

There wasn't any major news; since Perla hadn't caught the Flower Witch, the circulation of the entire White Dove Times had plummeted lately.

Chen Qi glanced over the newspaper's 'New Forbidden Marine Areas'.

This notably marked the Land of White Trees!

At first, he thought that after the Black Rabbit incident, there would be specialists coming to investigate the Land of White Trees.

On the contrary, after the Black Rabbit incident made the newspapers,

The Land of White Trees became notorious above the great sea and was listed as a danger zone within danger zones.

Nobody dared to come and investigate.

Now, many boats that fished for moonlight fish at night steered well clear, fearing they would be caught by the nearby sea overlord.

These past few days, he hadn't seen a living soul in the seas surrounding the Land of White Trees.

"That's fine…"

Chen Qi gave a meaningful look to the dopey nearby sea overlord.

If someone came here and saw these floating cages and the feed boxes he had built, it would certainly cause an uproar.

Then, it would be troublesome if adventurers were attracted to the place.

Chen Qi's future plan was to transplant many sea beasts to the Land of White Trees, constructing a small base there.

However, sea beasts suitable for transplant and husbandry were hard to come by.

He hoped that no one would discover this place… Chen Qi packed his things and went back inside his small boat house, glancing at the clock.

Six o'clock, the sky had already donned layers of faint darkness.

It was about time to set up his stall.

The nearby sea overlord sensed something and rushed over.

"Goodbye, nearby sea overlord, take good care of this place."

After using the Extraordinary Fish Bait, Chen Qi fed the gasping nearby sea overlord.

Then, he started his small houseboat and set off toward Moonstone City.

These days, he had been looking for clues to a Second-tier Lamp Phase Occupation Card or a Lamp Phase crack.

But the leads he found were either snatched up by others first or just misinformation.

Fortunately, he had secured Perla's assistance, thanks to offering a month's worth of free dinners, leveraging her vast information network.

After freeloading for ten days, Perla finally told him that she would give him an answer tonight!

He hoped the information Perla provided would be useful.

The engine roared and rumbled.

"Water Elves of the deep sea, let's go, it's back to Moonstone City."

Chen Qi called out.

The Water Elves swarmed onto the small houseboat.
