Ye Yuan had no reservations about Elder Hua's request.
He had thought of it the moment he decided to raise Thumb Eels.
Sooner or later, this kind of eel would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives and become a premium ingredient.
After all, Thumb Eels tasted quite good.
More importantly, they could rapidly replenish human Mental Power.
That ability to replenish Mental Power alone was enough to make Thumb Eels famous across Blue Star.
Take an office worker exhausted from staying up late.
After eating a single dried fish, they could recover completely in a very short time.
With an effect like that, how could it possibly not sell well?
To avoid being criticized by others,
Ye Yuan had contacted Professor Su Weiguo from the very beginning.
Then, led by the Blue Island Biological Research Institute, Yuwan Seafood's aquaculture base was used as a pilot site to breed them.
That way, it was as though the Biological Research Institute had plated Yuwan Seafood's breeding operation with a layer of protection.
It left those who wanted to make an issue of the Thumb Eels unable to say anything.
As for discovering a new species?
What was so surprising about that?
Every year, didn't the sea yield rare species humanity had never discovered before?
Many people believed that if humanity ever truly conquered the oceans,
the number of known species would at least double.
That was also why Ye Yuan dared to share the Thumb Eels with Su Weiguo.
"Wonderful! I never expected these Thumb Eels to be raised here by you.
Before coming here, I was worried that you were young and didn't understand the gravity of the matter.
Now it seems this old man had been overthinking things!"
After learning that Ye Yuan had already begun raising Thumb Eels
