Leveling Up With My Pet



Two days had passed since the last encounter, and the waters of the Gulf of Aden welcomed another ship from the prestigious Global Shipping Group. Concerned about their safety, Liu Yong issued a covert order to Overlord to discreetly accompany and guide the ship out of the treacherous Gulf of Aden. To Liu Yong's surprise, the journey remained remarkably serene, devoid of pirate encounters.

Over the next ten days, numerous colossal vessels from the Global Group traversed the Gulf of Aden unimpeded. Astonishingly, not a single pirate disrupted their passage. In the present moment, a massive ship belonging to the Global Shipping Group was on the verge of departing the Gulf of Aden, ready to enter the Red Sea. Strangely enough, an inexplicable sense of relief permeated the entire crew, including the captain.

[  " Have you heard the news? " ] one crew member asked another, excitement tinged with an air of mystery.

[ " What is it? Don't keep me in suspense, " ] the other crew member replied, curious.

[ " You're not aware? Rumor has it that our boss went to Somalia and issued a stern warning to the pirates. They're too afraid to target our group's ships now. " ]

[ " No way! Our boss is truly extraordinary! " ] exclaimed the second crew member, awe-struck by the revelation.

As the news spread among the crew, they were left in awe and disbelief.

They realized that their boss possessed such immense power relieved and amazed them.

During this uninterrupted stretch of more than ten days, no pirate dared to assail their ships. Liu Yong concluded that their previous encounters, where they decisively defeated the pirates thrice, had instilled deep-seated fear within their ranks. It seemed likely that Mulatu, the leader of the Youth Party, had grown apprehensive and refrained from making any further attempts.

A smirk formed on Liu Yong's face as he contemplated the outcome. [ " This is for the best. But if they ever try again, I won't hesitate to sink them a few more times. " ] 

[ " Overlord, your mission in the Gulf of Aden has been accomplished. There's no need for you to remain there indefinitely, " ] Liu Yong informed Overlord.

[ " Really? That's fantastic! " ] Overlord responded with evident relief.

Over the past ten days, Overlord had patrolled the waters of the Gulf of Aden diligently, ensuring the safe passage of the Global Shipping Group's vessels—the prospect of resuming its freedom and exploration filled Overlord with anticipation.

Overlord yearned to roam the vast ocean again, craving the enormous white fish in the trench. Not only were they delectable, but even a single catch would be sufficient for a meal. The smaller ones could be consumed in one sitting, while the larger ones could provide sustenance for several meals.

[ " Master, I'm heading towards that trench to indulge in some delicious food! " ] Overlord declared eagerly.

[ " Go, but remember to prioritize your safety, " ] Liu Yong cautioned.

With its colossal 50-meter-long spear, Overlord swiftly departed the Gulf of Aden, propelling itself at approximately 250 knots towards the coveted trench. 

Covering over a thousand nautical miles in a single uninterrupted swim, it took less than five hours for Overlord to arrive at its destination.

The allure of the food was irresistible, beckoning Overlord throughout its extended stay in the Gulf of Aden. The dream of capturing and relishing one of those prized catches was now within reach as the vast trench lay just ahead.

Initially cruising at around 200 meters, Overlord gradually descended deeper as it neared the trench, plunging into complete darkness. The once-illuminated surroundings faded away, and Overlord enveloped itself in a pitch-black abyss.

The absence of light didn't hinder Overlord's perception. With its extraordinary senses, it could discern everything within a 500-meter radius, observing the diverse marine life that thrived in the depths. While descending further into the abyss, the size of the marine creatures increased significantly. It was common to encounter massive beings weighing hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

However, these colossal creatures were not Overlord's intended targets. It relentlessly searched for a specific species, a peculiar white fish of immense proportions—those weighing over ten tons or even tens or hundreds of tons.

As Overlord ventured into the abyssal depths of over 2,000 meters, the surroundings turned frigid and foreboding. The icy cold seemed to permeate every crevice of the seabed. Yet, Overlord's determination remained unyielding as it pressed forward in pursuit of its coveted prey.

The dark, icy depths held an air of mystery and danger. Undeterred by the harsh conditions, the Overlord continued his descent, ready to confront whatever lay ahead in its relentless pursuit of the enormous white fish that haunted his dreams.

Deep beneath the sea's surface, the seabed was adorned with uneven boulders. Some of these boulders stood tall like hills, reaching heights of tens of meters, while others were smaller, merely two or three meters in size.

In the proximity of a vast trench, its depth plunging over 2,000 meters, a remarkable creature, Overlord, swam slowly, attentively surveying its surroundings in search of a delectable meal. The Overlord possessed heightened senses, allowing it to perceive even the slightest movement in its vicinity.

Suddenly, a voice echoed within the Overlord's consciousness, [ " Hey, there's a peculiar white fish over yonder. " ] 

At the edge of his super perception, the Overlord sensed the presence of a massive white fish approximately 20 meters in length. 

The white behemoth was feasting upon a large fish weighing thousands of pounds.

In the natural order of the underwater world, big fish devoured smaller fish, while the smaller ones survived on dried shrimps.

Being a carnivorous predator, this peculiar white fish occupied the apex of the marine food chain. It relentlessly hunted and preyed upon various significant fish day after day.

Without hesitation, the Overlord stealthily approached the scene. The strange white fish from the Ba Dynasty swam past, oblivious to the approaching danger, focusing solely on its meal. It only realized something was amiss when the Bawang was a mere 100 meters away.

Momentarily stunned, the white fish abandoned its unfinished feast and swiftly flicked its tail, attempting to escape.

The Bawang, being considerably more extensive, instinctively recognized the imminent threat and realized it was no match for the Overlord.

But alas, it was too late!

Witnessing the white fish's desperate attempt to flee, the Bawang activated its sprinting skill without hesitation, darting towards its target like a shadow.

With a sharp [ " puff, " ] the sound of knives piercing flesh resounded through the water. The Bawang's 50-meter-long spear pierced the white fish, causing it to perish instantly.

[ " Haha, a satisfying feast indeed, " ] exclaimed the triumphant Bawang as it began devouring the defeated creature with greedy delight.

Amongst the delicacies that enticed the Bawang's appetite, the most compelling was the fatty substance in the stomach of the white monster fish. White monster fish, weighing over tons, often possessed this fatty substance. The larger the fish, the more abundant the fat-like delicacy.

Delicious, rich, and incredibly flavorful!

Taking several hearty bites of the fish's flesh, the Bawang eagerly tore open the belly of the strange white fish, indulging in the white, fatty substance within. A look of immense satisfaction adorned its face as it relished the feast.

Regrettably, the quantity was insufficient, and the Bawang devoured it all in a single sitting.

The strange white fish before the Bawang weighed over 30 tons, yet the white fatty substance within its belly amounted to a mere two or three tons. 

The Overlord fondly reminisced about a previous encounter with a strange white fish weighing over 100 tons, which provided a bountiful 20 to 30 tons of this delectable treat.

For half an hour, the Bawang consumed the entirety of the strange white fish, weighing over 30 tons, emitting a contented burp.

Satiated, the Overlord had no immediate plans to venture deeper into the vast trench in search of larger white monster fish. Instead, he decided to establish a temporary dwelling nearby and thus began its search within a radius of two or three hundred nautical miles, scouring the area for a suitable abode.

Meanwhile, the prestigious Diya cosmetics company stood in the bustling world of business in the heart of Europe. Seated upon his majestic boss chair, President Kanter held a newly developed hand cream, his face beaming with satisfaction.

Diya was a renowned name in the cosmetics industry, recognized globally for its exceptional products. With an annual revenue surpassing tens of billions of dollars, the company achieved a remarkable milestone last year, reaching 50 billion dollars.

However, amidst the ever-intensifying competition within the cosmetics market, even giants like Diya felt the mounting pressure. They knew that continuous research and development were crucial to forge ahead, gain an edge, and remain at the forefront of the industry.

Constantly unveiling new products to captivate consumers, the hand cream in President Kanter's hands was their latest innovation, freshly crafted to meet the evolving demands of beauty enthusiasts worldwide.
