Super Zoo

Chapter 9 Bighead Catfish

Su Ming looked down and saw that it was a few one- or two-inch-long green fish circling around his big feet.

The fish seemed hungry, and they swam around his feet bit by bit with their round mouths.

"By the way, there must be fish in such a big lake. I wonder if my Animal Friends can help fish."

Su Ming tentatively put a trace of mental power into the water. The fish circling around his feet became more active as soon as they came into contact with the mental power, wagging their tails and swimming happily.

Two slightly larger fish, about the length of a middle finger, actually jumped out of the water and jumped over Su Ming's instep.

It seems that the ability of Animal Friends is also useful in the water, but the fish have low intelligence and can only express the simplest emotions, such as fear and love. It seems unlikely to communicate with the fish.

Su Ming thought about it, moved his feet slightly, lifted them out of the water and squatted on the steps.

Fish are easily frightened. The slightest movement on the water surface will definitely scare these small fish away. But at this time, the small fish refused to leave. Instead, they raised their heads towards the water surface, revealing their tiny mouths, which opened and closed on the water surface.

"Are you looking for me for food? Haha, a bunch of little greedy ghosts. Wait!"

Since he had friends of animals, Su Ming really lived up to his name. He instinctively felt close to animals and treated them as friends. He touched his body and found nothing to eat, so he ran to the canteen and bought two large loaves of bread.

This kind of large bread is very common, the size of a small watermelon, wrapped in plastic paper, most of them are three-no products, and there is no taste. Even in the canteen of the scenic area, it is a cheap product that no one cares about, so there is a large backlog, two yuan each, which is very cheap.

People don't eat it, but it's just right to feed the fish.

"It's time to eat!"

Su Ming stood by the lake again, rubbed the bread into crumbs, and threw a handful into the lake.

Several small fishes scrambled for the bread, and a small wave appeared on the water surface. The floating bread crumbs were quickly snatched away, and the small fish opened their mouths and asked Su Ming for food.

Fish are pure brainless eaters, eating as much as they can. Some very stupid ornamental fish will even keep eating until they die of starvation.

"Go away, there is no more for you." Su Ming grabbed a few more bread crumbs and threw them hard at the lake in the distance.

Large pieces of bread crumbs suddenly floated on the lake, but there was no lively scene of fish fighting for food as imagined.

After several seconds, there were only a few splashes of water, and a few half-sized fish emerged from the water. Most of the bread crumbs slowly sank under the water.

"Why are there so few fish?" Su Ming was a little surprised.

The water area in front of him was not small, it was about ten acres, the center of the lake was more than two meters deep, and the shallows were more than one meter, otherwise the zoo would not have placed a cruise ship here in the first place.

According to common practice, even if no one was specifically stocking and managing fish fry in such a large area, there would not be only this many fish.

Su Ming had watched a lot of movies and TV shows about gods and ghosts since he was a child, such as Jaws and Anaconda, and subconsciously thought, there won’t be any water monsters in this lake, will they eat up all the fish?

But this was just a thought for fun, the sky was clear and the world was bright, after the founding of the country, no spirits were allowed, and a state-owned institution, what kind of ghosts and gods are there?

Even if there were water monsters, they would not be raised in such a small lake.

But it’s not wrong to be careful, Su Ming still put his mental power into the water again, wanting to explore this small lake.

Water is a good medium, after the mental power enters the water, it spreads out like a fan, extending in all directions, and the distance and range that can be explored are far beyond that in the air.

Su Ming felt a little overwhelmed when his mental power covered half of the lake.

The fish under the water were indeed pitifully few, not to mention that they could not be compared with fish ponds, they were far less than those abandoned wild ponds. After sweeping half of the water area, Su Ming did not find many fish, and most of them were small fry at the beginning.

At this moment, a black shadow with tentacles floated under the lake not far away!

Yeah? Tentacle monster? Su Ming hurriedly used his mental power to catch up with the black shadow!

When his mental power covered it, Su Ming found that it was a half-foot-long big-headed catfish. The so-called "tentacles" were the fleshy whiskers on both sides of its mouth.

In the water more than 20 centimeters away from the water surface, the big-headed catfish was shaking its head and swimming leisurely.

The 'half-foot-long' catfish can only be considered a small catfish, but in this small lake with few fish, it is definitely a 'dominant' level existence. No creature can threaten it. What it has to do every day is to eat and wait for death, and bully other small fish when it has time.

However, its good days are over. The big-headed catfish was just enjoying itself, and suddenly its body shook slightly, and the few floating whiskers on both sides of its big mouth opened suddenly, as if it was 'electrified'.

"Hehe, it really works!"

Su Ming concentrated all his mental power, not spreading it out over a large area like before, but focusing on this catfish and controlling it in an instant.

After the big-headed catfish was 'stupefied' for a while, it immediately swam flexibly again. Under Su Ming's control, it dived into the water and became Su Ming's 'sentinel', swimming back and forth in the lake, exploring the situation at the bottom of the lake.

The big-headed catfish swam back and forth in the water for several circles. In addition to occasionally encountering a few other fish, there were some water plants, lake mud, stones and the like, but no water monsters or anything like that were found.

After this guy was controlled by mental power, his "brain" seemed to become much better. After swimming for a while, he actually returned to the shore and opened his mouth wide to Su Ming, making a series of smacking sounds, clearly asking for food.

"Hey, you're not stupid." Su Ming laughed and threw the last small piece of bread crumbs into the water.

The big-headed catfish sucked in the water and the bread crumbs with its big mouth, and happily turned around on the spot. The fish tail flicked, and a few long whiskers around its mouth floated in the water, and then it opened its mouth wide to Su Ming for food again.

"No more, no more, go and play your own game." Su Ming patted his empty hands and retracted his mental power.

Losing the control of mental power, the big-headed catfish flicked its tail and swam back to the depths of the lake.

Su Ming was left alone again. He stood on the waterside of the platform, looking at the lake in front of him. The breeze blew over and made waves. Although it was pleasant, it always felt that it lacked a bit of liveliness.

"Next time, I'll put some fish fry in there to raise them. When I have nothing to do in the future, I can go fishing or something." Su Ming thought.

After such a delay, half an hour passed. The waterside pavilion was almost ventilated. Su Ming found a broom, mop and other things from the storage room. He also found a bottle of detergent that he didn't know if it was expired, and began to clean the waterside pavilion.

Su Ming used to work at home and was very quick and nimble. Even so, it took him three or four hours to clean up the entire Tingfeng Waterside Pavilion.

"I still have to go to the supermarket to buy daily necessities. Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, rice, meat, vegetables, water bottles, thermos, well, quilts and other things can be brought from the dormitory..."

Su Ming made a long shopping list, all of which he wanted to buy. He calculated in his mind that if he bought them all, he would not have much money left.

Fortunately, he would have his salary in a month, and he had already found a place to live, so he was not short of money for the time being.

He heaved a long sigh, feeling a little relieved. After all the twists and turns, he finally solved the problem of work and could settle down.

Just as he was about to leave, the phone suddenly rang. Su Ming looked and saw that it was Nangong Yan.
