Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 225 Level Upgraded

?

The massive wreckage of bones surpassed even the skeleton of the enigmatic white fish they had previously encountered, piquing Liu Yong's curiosity. Bawang, too, had experienced an astonishing growth of 23 tons within a mere two days, leaving him puzzled as well.

Liu Yong pondered, [ " What could have happened in the past couple of days for such a transformation to take place with Bawang? " ]

Seeking answers, Liu Yong conversed with Bawang, directing his query, [ " Can you explain what is going on? Why is there such an enormous skeleton at the entrance of your cave? " ]

Bawang, awakening from a nap, stretched his body and replied, [ " Ah, Master, you've come looking for me. " ]

Liu Yong urged him, [ " Tell me quickly, what happened? " ]

Bawang began recounting his encounter with a colossal, strange fish armed with two enormous claws in the deep trench. With a hint of pride, he declared, [ " It's my spoils! The taste was exceptional, and I feasted on it for several meals. These past two or three days, I didn't have to worry about food. " ]

The wonders of the ocean seemed boundless. As the depth increased, they continued to stumble upon astonishing discoveries—a massive jellyfish with ghostly tentacles, the white fish from the trench, and now two giant fish boasting huge clawed feet.

Such marvels!

Amidst the amazement, Liu Yong voiced his concern, [ " Overlord, I recall your weight being 172 tons just two days ago. How did it suddenly reach 195 tons? Could it be related to the giant monster fish with the clawed feet? " ]

Overlord responded, [ " I believe so. This gargantuan fish not only tasted exquisite, but it also imparted a warm and comfortable sensation after devouring it. I slept most of these past two days, and my weight surged as a result. " ]

Bawang's weight had skyrocketed, likely due to consuming this colossal monster fish.

Liu Yong could not help but feel astonished. To think there existed something capable of accelerating Overlord's growth was truly remarkable.

Naturally, Liu Yong wished for Bawang to continue growing as quickly as possible, ideally reaching several hundred tons in size. At that point, it would be challenging for any opponent to match him in the vast ocean.

The Overlord could then roam freely, asserting dominance. Although he already appeared enormous, dealing with opponents weighing two to three hundred tons required considerable effort. Nevertheless, with Bawang's further growth, such adversaries would be insignificant. The young turtle would handle them effortlessly.

Satisfied with the thought, Liu Yong secretly wished for Overlord to feast upon a few more of these colossal fish with mighty clawed feet.

Glancing at Overlord's attributes displayed on the pet panel, Liu Yong felt content.

[[

]]

Observing the data on the pet panel, Liu Yong could not help but nod approvingly. Indeed, Bawang's attributes, aside from his weight of 195 tons, had exceeded 11,000.

Previously, Overlord had mentioned the considerable effort required to battle the 300-ton monster fish two days ago. Now, encountering a fish of the same size would prove significantly easier.

With an increase in weight and a slight boost in attributes, a showdown against a 300-ton monster fish would likely end in just two rounds.

[ " Master, I'm hungry again. I want to return to that trench and hunt down another giant fish like before, " ] Bawang expressed, his hunger urging him.

Full of trust in Bawang, Liu Yong replied, [ " No problem, go ahead. I believe in you. " ]

Overlord embarked on his journey armed with his colossal spear, heading towards the vast trench over a hundred miles away.

In another part of the Indian Ocean, a specific sea area remained the centre of attention due to a recent plane crash. Numerous aircraft and ships had been scouring the area, hoping to find the wreckage or detect extensive oil pollution caused by aviation fuel leakage.

The search operation continued intensively, captivating the global media, who closely followed and reported on the unfolding events.

Two days had passed without any breakthroughs, leading some media outlets to speculate whether this incident would mirror the fruitless search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 731 several years prior.

The event had turned the YD nation upside down, becoming the most important news story in years. Reports from various sources painted a bleak picture.

The YD government faced mounting pressure. Aside from the passengers and crew aboard the plane, the most critical concern lay with the national treasures onboard. These cultural relics had been en route to YN for display, intended to showcase the nation's rich history and culture. 

Among them were several national treasures, one particularly possessing exceptional value—a Buddha relic. Given YD's Buddhist background, this relic held an immeasurable significance, transcending mere monetary value.

The search efforts persisted, yet experts began speculating whether this incident would repeat the enigma of Malaysia Airlines Flight 731, with the plane vanishing inexplicably.

News outlets in the Yan country closely monitored and reported on the crash while individuals engaged in post-dinner and tea discussions.

Meanwhile, at Hanhai Culture Company, Liu Yong had arrived and now sat in Ding Wen's office, conversing over cups of coffee.

Ding Wen relished in his current contented life. The successful auctions of Song porcelain in Country M and Hong Kong Island had brought in hundreds of millions of dollars each time, leaving him in high spirits.

During their discussion on the auctions, the topic unconsciously transitioned to the YD Airlines crash.

[ " It's a shame they haven't found the plane yet. I heard there were several national treasure-level cultural relics belonging to Ah San aboard, " ] Ding Wen lamented.

Taking a sip of his coffee, Liu Yong replied, [ " In their efforts to locate the plane, my third brother has dispatched numerous warships and hundreds of helicopter sorties to search the designated sea area. However, nothing has been found thus far. " ]

Ding Wen sighed, [ " Such a pity. If we could find the wreckage, it would be marvelous. The auctioning of those national treasures would undoubtedly cause a worldwide sensation, propelling our influence and power. " ]

A cultural company like theirs yearned for substantial influence and popularity. The prospect of becoming internationally renowned meant no longer requiring elaborate promotion for their auctions. 

Renowned collectors would actively participate, driven by their reputation alone.

Regrettably, Ding Wen could only ponder such possibilities as they remained beyond his grasp.

Liu Yong's mind flickered with an idea...
