Leveling Up With My Pet



[ " Liu Yong has just arrived, " ]

  Kang Zhenggang informed as he drove the car into the spacious warehouse and parked it in the middle. A fishing net placed at the front was visible, courtesy of Bawang.

[ " Boss, should we close the warehouse door? " ] 

Kang asked as he glanced over at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong checked the time on his watch and raised his hand, 

[ " No need. Mr. Cao and the others should be arriving shortly. " ]

The clock ticked, and within no time, there was a commotion outside. 

Kang Zhenggang, being proactive, stepped out of the warehouse and guided Cao Youpeng and his two cars inside.

Liu Yong nodded in approval, 

[ " Kang Zhenggang is not half bad. He's clever, adaptable, and doesn't need constant reminders or orders. " ]

[ " Cao Youpeng and the others have arrived, " ] 

Kang Zhenggang announced.

As they stepped out of the car, Cao Youpeng eagerly extended his hand to shake Liu Yong's, expressing his gratitude, 

[ " Mr. Liu, it's truly remarkable how quickly you managed to obtain a poison sac from the jellyfish. " ]

A remarkable turn of events unfolded in just a little over a day.

Yesterday, he made a special visit to the Universal Company, personally expressing his request. And now, the news had spread that Liu Yong claimed to have obtained the coveted poison sac.

Cao Youpeng had always believed that acquiring the poison sacs of ghost hair jellyfish was arduous, so merely obtaining one would have been considered fortunate. 

With a hearty smile, Liu Yong addressed Cao Youpeng, 

[ " Mr. Cao, there is more than one poison sac. Take a look, they're all right here. " ]

Unfortunately, a car partially obstructed their view, preventing Cao Youpeng and the others from immediately laying eyes on those precious sacs. However, Liu Yong pointed them out, prompting everyone to rush eagerly.

[ " Oh my God! " ] 

Cao Youpeng couldn't help but exclaim, utterly amazed by what he saw.

The chief researcher, equally astonished, pinched himself hard, half-expecting to wake up from what seemed like an unreal dream.

They never imagined that Liu Yong could procure not just one but an astounding 27 poison sacs.

In the international market, the venom of the ghost jellyfish was considered invaluable, fetching prices of up to $1,000 per gram—if one could even manage to find a seller. Last time, they had to invest significant effort to acquire a mere 100 grams.

—And now?

There were at least twenty or thirty poison sacs in the pile.

—Unbelievable!

—Astonishing!

The chief researcher rubbed his eyes vigorously, stepping forward with an exhilarated expression as if he couldn't quite believe what he was witnessing. Soon enough, others followed suit, gathering around the pile of poisonous sacs.

Cao Youpeng's initial reaction was shocking, followed by surprise, and eventually, he tightly grasped Liu Yong's hand, expressing his gratitude once again, 

[ " Mr. Liu, you are truly amazing. It only took one day, and you managed to retrieve many poison sacs. Thank you, thank you so much. " ]

Liu Yong smiled and teased, 

[ " If you ever need it again in the future, it will still be at the old price of 10 million pieces. Quantity won't be a problem. " ]

[ " Okay, okay, sure, " ] Cao Youpeng quickly responded.

With that, he felt a great sense of relief. Previously, he had worried that raw materials might be scarce even if the drug was successfully developed, like ghost hair jellyfish venom during mass production.

Now, that concern vanished utterly!

Even if the drug were mass-produced, a mere three, five, or at most seven or eight poison sacs yearly would suffice. 

The venom of the ghost hair jellyfish was incredibly potent, requiring a dilution of ten thousand times before it could be used as medicine. Just a drop of venom could yield thousands of plasters.

Filled with joy and astonishment, Cao Youpeng personally supervised his team as they retrieved several specially designed plastic boxes from the truck. Wearing medical latex gloves, they carefully placed each poison sac into the plastic boxes, ensuring their safe transportation.

In total, there were 27 poison sacs.

Regardless of size, all 10 million pieces were obtained.

That amounted to a staggering 270 million!

Once all the poison sacs were loaded into the vehicle, Cao Youpeng held Liu Yong's hand tightly again, expressing his gratitude.

As for Liu Yong, the account had reached 270 million!

Soon the weekend came. 

Liu Yong took the wheel of his sleek supercar, cruising through the city streets with a purpose. Today, he had arranged to meet Li Changle to explore their new house. Despite having a spacious villa in Huahai City, Liu Yong was determined that after their marriage, they would create their own space away from their parents.

The extravagant stacked villa, worth over 20 million yuan, had been gifted to his parents, providing them a comfortable abode.

As they drove, Liu Yong turned to Li Changle and suggested, 

[ " Lele, why don't we head to the renowned 'Phoenix Mountain Manor'? I've heard it's the most opulent and prestigious villa area in all of Huahai City. " ]

Li Changle nodded, aware of the development's reputation. 

However, she also knew that Liu Yong had only heard of it but had never set foot there.

[ " If we're going to buy a villa, let's go for the absolute best in Huahai City," Liu Yong asserted.

Li Changle smiled in agreement, fully understanding his aspiration.

Indeed, the Phoenix Mountain Manor deserved its status as a top-tier villa area. Its well-connected infrastructure boasted a highly developed transportation network featuring wide, smooth asphalt roads leading up to the estate's grand entrance.

Nestled at the foot of Fenghuangjiao Mountain, the villa area flourished amidst lush greenery and enjoyed pristine, fresh air that seemed worlds away from the chaos of the bustling metropolis.

Upon arriving at the entrance gate, Liu Yong effortlessly found a parking spot among the multitude of spaces available. He turned off the engine and accompanied Li Changle towards the sales department.

Although the sales department was not exceptionally spacious, its high-grade decor exuded an air of luxury, setting the stage for their visit.

The couple entered the sales area hand in hand, their entry devoid of the clichéd dog-watching-people scenario from novels. However, they were greeted by a cheerful receptionist, a young woman dressed immaculately in professional clothing.

[ " Hello to both of you. How may I assist you today? " ]

  She warmly inquired.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Yong gestured and replied, 

[ " We'd like to learn more about the villas available here. Could you give us a tour? " ]

[ " Of course, " ] 

[ " Please follow me, and I'll happily show you around. " ]

The young woman replied with a smile. 

A magnificent real estate model captured everyone's attention in the centre of the sales hall. It was a scaled-down replica of the beautiful villa area, providing a comprehensive estate view.

[ " Our villa area is nestled within the breathtaking Phoenix Mountain National Forest Resort, beautifully encompassing the serene Moon Lake, " ] 

The sales lady enthusiastically explained, pointing to the model. 

[ " With a volume ratio of just 0.1, the villa area harmoniously blends with nature, boasting an impressive greening rate of 84.7%. Additionally, there are over 60,000 square meters of pristine water bodies. Spread across nearly 20 small islands within a vast ecological lake, the 72 villas are interconnected by charming bridges. " ]

As the sales lady continued her detailed introduction, she couldn't help but notice Liu Yong's wrist adorned with several limited-edition watches worth millions. Filled with hope, she recognized him as a valuable customer.

[ " Look, Xiao Hu is truly fortunate, " ] one of the sales ladies remarked.

[ " And those two clients appear quite young, " ] another observed.

[ " Did you notice the gentleman's wrist? He's wearing millions worth of watches. He must be incredibly wealthy, " ] a third sales lady whispered in awe.

Silent acknowledgments and glimmers of envy were exchanged among the other sales staff as they realized Xiao Hu's stroke of luck. They couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, wishing they had acted faster to seize these potential clients for themselves.

After hearing the sales pitch, Liu Yong felt reasonably satisfied with the information provided.

[ " Well, the villas here look impressive. Could you take us for a more tour? " ] he asked.

The sales lady nodded with a warm smile. 

[ " Certainly, sir. Which villa would you like to see? " ]

Liu Yong gazed at the expansive model of the villa area and replied with genuine interest, 

[ " Lead us to Villa No. 16. We'd love to take a closer look. " ]

[ " Of course, please follow me, " ] the sales lady replied, motioning for them to follow her.
