[Vanassa: Yes, we’re preparing to study whether they can be raised and bred in captivity.]
[Vanassa: Professor Walsh’s previous research found that these prawns have high medicinal value. Several research institutions and aquaculture companies are very interested in them.]
After reading the message, Melody Summers popped another piece of prawn into her mouth and continued typing her reply:
[Summertime: Did all those research institutions and companies buy the prawns too?]
[Vanassa: Not exactly. They’re very hard to get. We had someone constantly monitoring the shop’s updates just to successfully buy them.]
[Summertime: So you’re the only ones who got them?]
[Vanassa: I heard Professor Walsh’s group managed to buy a set, and The Nimbus Hotel also got one.]
[Vanassa: The other research institutions and companies didn’t manage to buy any, so they’re trying to purchase them from The Nimbus Hotel at a high price. The hotel plans to auction off the prawns tonight to the highest bidder.]
Melody Summers: "..."
’The Nimbus Hotel sure knows how to make a profit on the markup!’
Whether it was the diamonds before or the Blue Scale Prawns this time, The Nimbus Hotel had made a killing. For every hundred million Melody Summers earned, The Nimbus Hotel would trail behind her and make three hundred million.
’Is there any justice in this world?!’
Melody Summers shook her head with a sense of helplessness, pushing the chaotic thoughts from her mind.
In any case, knowing that Paige Walsh’s team had also managed to get some prawns, Melody Summers felt a little more at ease.
[Summertime: I see. It seems they really are hard to buy. It would be great if they could be artificially bred soon.]
[Summertime: Do you have any leads on artificial breeding yet?]
[Vanassa: None.]
[Vanassa: The Rhodes corporation’s research team tried to contact the owner of The Arcadia Store to ask about the creature’s living environment and breeding conditions, but the owner ignored them.]
[Vanassa: Right now, all we know is that they live in a deep-sea environment. Beyond that, we know nothing.]
After reading the messages from Sophie Thorne, Melody Summers scratched her head in embarrassment.
’It wasn’t that she was deliberately ignoring people; she just didn’t know the prawns’ breeding conditions either.’
Even though she’d been eating steamed Blue Scale Prawns for several days straight, she still couldn’t even tell the males from the females. All she knew was that they usually lived in groups inside conch shells.
Thinking of this, Melody Summers opened The Arcadia Store, pulled up her chat with Paige Walsh, and sent a message:
[The Blue Scale Prawns like pretty conch shells. Placing some in the incubator might help them breed.]
Melody Summers didn’t know if the conch shells were a necessary condition for the Blue Scale Prawns to breed, but she could only do her best to provide some potentially useful information.
A few seconds later, Paige Walsh’s reply came through:
[Thank you for the information! This is very important to us!]
Melody Summers replied:
[You’re welcome. Please share this information with the other research institutions as well.]
