บท 95: Leveling Up Crazily

How many carp were in the United States? No one knew the exact number, but in some rivers, Asian Carps composed up to 90% of the population.

The government was planning an investment of eighteen billion USD to build a great dam to keep the Asian Carp away from the five Great Lakes.

In places where the carp were most densely populated, they sometimes jumped out at crossing boats and sometimes people by the riverside were attacked by the fish.

The main reason why there were so many carp was because Americans didn't eat them. Some people speculated that the Americans complained they had too many bones while others said once-heavily-polluted American rivers still retained their shameful past and that the carp living in them were filled with heavy metals.

Of course, there was still the slightly interesting saying: many of their people couldn't pick out fish bones, so they didn't eat fish with bones. Chu Xian thought this saying sounded reasonable.
