Leveling Up With My Pet



Bawang, in a moment of revelation, beheld the astonishing enormity to which the prehistoric wide-mouthed giant fish could grow, and this particular specimen stood as the undisputed king among its kind.

With a colossal head, an immense mouth, and a body length exceeding 100 meters, it possessed a visual weight of 450 tons, a weight akin to that of an Overlord.

The adversary spotted Bawang and, regardless of the circumstances, lunged towards it, jaws wide open, ready to bite.

The Overlord, lacking any weapons, relied solely on its razor-sharp claws and formidable maw. Confronted with the oncoming opponent, it did not retreat but rather moved forward to meet the challenge.

In the absence of weapons, the confrontation would take the form of a bare-handed combat.

Naturally, the possession of a weapon would have alleviated much trouble. A single strike could have inflicted severe damage upon this prehistoric wide-mouthed giant fish.

The opponent lunged forward, its gaping maw unleashed!

Reacting with astounding swiftness, the Overlord evaded skillfully, then swiftly swung one of its forepaws, instantly rending the skin of the giant fish as blood oozed from the wounds.

The claw's trajectory extended perilously close to the eyes of the prehistoric wide-mouthed giant fish, tracing a path from the eyes nearly reaching the corner of its colossal mouth.

The giant fish leapt with thunderous force, its mammoth tail sweeping toward the Overlord like an impregnable wall, a terrifying display of formidable might.

"Hehe, if you intend to strike me, you may find your expectations far too grand," the Overlord taunted, exuding a sense of invulnerability.

The Overlord deftly evaded the sweeping tail of the prehistoric wide-mouthed giant fish and swiftly counterattacked, tearing off several tons of flesh with a single bite.

Such delectable meat must not go to waste, and thus Bawang devoured it eagerly, savoring each mouthful.

The battle unfolded in a one-sided manner, leaving no room for doubt.

After another two or three rounds, the prehistoric wide-mouthed giant fish bore heavy scars, with some wounds nearing the point of fatality, while the Overlord remained unscathed.

Finally realizing the magnitude of the challenge it faced, the giant fish chose to flee, but its escape was short-lived as the Overlord swiftly seized and dispatched it, ending its struggle.

Surveying its spoils—over 400 tons of grand fish—the Overlord felt an overwhelming sense of contentment. Having secured a bountiful harvest, it returned to its cavernous abode to relish in this exquisite feast.

In Huahai Food Street,

On this Friday evening, the bustling food street overflowed with a sea of people, rendering navigation through the crowd nearly impossible.

A multitude of individuals filled the area, predominantly comprising young folk. Amidst the dense throng, Liu Yong clasped Li Changle's hand, the two of them partaking in the culinary delights offered here, having already savored several delectable dishes.

"The fare here is truly exceptional, but the crowd is rather overwhelming," Liu Yong commented.

Li Changle concurred, "Indeed. Shall we find a more serene spot to sit? The congestion here is becoming unbearable."

After a brief deliberation, the couple decided to seek refuge in a cozy coffee shop. They ordered two cups of fragrant coffee along with an assortment of delectable desserts, finally finding solace in the quiet ambiance.

Ah, the tranquility of this place is so refreshing, Liu Yong mused.

Just as he took a sip of his coffee, Liu Yong's attention was drawn to a message notification on his mobile phone. Retrieving the device, he discovered it was a message from Qiu Yang.

Apologizing profusely, Qiu Yang informed Liu Yong that thus far, he had only come across two second-hand vessels that piqued his interest. One was a bulk carrier with a displacement exceeding 50,000 tons, while the other was an ocean-going tanker surpassing 70,000 tons in displacement.

While considered sizeable ships by most standards, Qiu Yang believed them to be somewhat inadequate, thus he forwarded the relevant information and quotations for both ships to Liu Yong, hoping to garner his decision.

Upon perusing the details, Liu Yong promptly replied, expressing his disapproval of the exorbitant prices quoted by the other party.

Even when contemplating the acquisition of a used vessel, one ought to opt for a superior option. The two vessels in question failed to meet his expectations in terms of size and were accompanied by excessively high price tags. Needless to say, they were dismissed without further consideration.

The following day arrived.

In the early hours of the morning, Liu Yong received yet another message from Qiu Yang. The message inquired about the location for the newly constructed giant spear as requested by Liu Yong.

Overjoyed by the news, Liu Yong realized that Bawang possessed a formidable new weapon. He promptly responded, informing Qiu Yang to place it in the usual location—submerged in the sea near their seaside warehouse.

Qiu Yang expeditiously acknowledged the receipt of the message, responding promptly with a succinct and affirmative affirmation in the form of a concise and resolute "yes."

Eager to confirm the status of the weapon, Liu Yong swiftly accessed his pet panel, activating the third-party vision to observe Bawang.

In that moment, the magnificent sight unfolded before their eyes—none other than Bawang, the indomitable force of nature, engrossed in the consumption of a substantial feast. It occurred in the expansive waters, stretching over a distance of more than a thousand nautical miles from the bustling hub of Huahai City. Nestled at a profound depth of around 1,500 meters beneath the surface, Bawang's triumphant capture had ensnared a gargantuan squid, surpassing a staggering length of 20 meters. With unparalleled finesse, Bawang reveled in the bounty, savoring each morsel of its hard-earned spoils.

"Master, I have satiated my hunger. Once I finish my meal, I will resume my journey. I anticipate reaching the seaside warehouse within three to four hours," Bawang reported.

Liu Yong, unpressured, responded, "Take your time, my loyal companion. Consume your meal and rest well. There is no rush for your arrival."

Ultimately, the colossal spear lay nestled at the tranquil depths of the ocean, ensconced securely at the seabed, an ample distance beneath the shimmering surface. Its strategic positioning bestowed upon it an impregnable shield, shielding it from the merest possibility of danger. Serenely ensconced within the aquatic embrace, it basked in a state of utmost security and tranquility, undisturbed by external forces or prying eyes.
