Leveling Up With My Pet



TW Strait.

As Bawang traversed the waters, he opted to pass through the TW Strait instead of taking the longer route across the TW Sea. This decision allowed him to save some distance, making his journey more efficient.

Pointing towards a ship near him, Bawang exclaimed, "Look, it's our 'Blue Whale'! It's sailing right here!"

Recognizing the vessel as the "Blue Whale" salvage ship, Bawang felt a deep sense of familiarity. Proudly, he reflected on the past thirty days when the "Blue Whale" had transported four large containers from a lonely island in the North Atlantic Ocean.

"It's been almost a month, and I've arrived here in just three days. I'm undoubtedly the best," Bawang thought to himself confidently. With only a few hours remaining, he would soon reach Huahai City.

Swimming alongside the "Blue Whale" for about 20 to 30 minutes, Bawang grew impatient with its slow speed. Ignoring the ship, he accelerated, forging ahead on his own.

Several hours later, Bawang finally arrived in Huahai City, near the seaside warehouse. A wave of relief washed over him as he realized that he had successfully returned, bringing back the stone his master needed.

Once at the seaside warehouse, the Overlord carefully placed its enormous spear in its claws on the seabed, not too far from the warehouse entrance. It prepared to enter through the warehouse passage.

The waterway leading into the warehouse was approximately twenty meters wide with a depth exceeding ten meters, requiring Bawang to proceed cautiously. Luckily, it was late at night, and the area lacked any witnesses, minimizing the chances of the Overlord's presence being revealed.

The sheer size of the Overlord posed a challenge. Weighing nearly 900 tons and measuring over 90 meters from head to tail, with a tail length surpassing 30 meters, it barely squeezed through the waterway. It realized that navigating the passage would become impossible if it grew more significant.

Once inside the warehouse, the Overlord carefully placed the stones it had brought from afar onto the warehouse floor. Satisfied with its task, it then returned to the sea through the waterway.

Lifting the giant spear again, the Overlord embarked on its next adventure. It planned to roam the Pacific Ocean, free from immediate tasks. Its primary objectives now were to consume more food, rest, and grow larger as quickly as possible.

Around 8:00 in the morning, Liu Yong emerged from his villa earlier than usual. Typically, he would head to the company after 9:00.

Chen Hu, driving a large G-class vehicle as instructed, arrived promptly. The passenger seat remained vacant, and no bodyguards accompanied them, following Liu Yong's specific orders.

Rather than taking the back seat, Liu Yong entered the front passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and gestured, "Let's go to the seaside warehouse."

Chen Hu was momentarily taken aback, finally understanding why the boss had ventured out so early. It appeared that something out of the ordinary was happening.

As a competent driver and bodyguard, Chen Hu knew better than to pry. If the boss didn't initiate the conversation, certain matters were best left unasked, kept silently in his heart.

Focused on the task at hand, Chen Hu drove swiftly and smoothly. Typically, the journey from the grand villa to the seaside warehouse took approximately 40 to 50 minutes, but they arrived in just 30 minutes.

Without stepping out of the car, Liu Yong retrieved the remote control key, unlocked the warehouse doors, and commanded, "Drive straight in."

Well acquainted with the route, Chen Hu expertly maneuvered the vehicle into the warehouse. Though curiosity gnawed at him, Chen Hu contemplated silently. The boss had chosen to bypass the company and come directly to the seaside warehouse, indicating that something significant awaited them within its confines.

He had witnessed it before—vast amounts of gold and substantial timber stored within these walls. What could it be this time?

To his surprise, there was nothing. The warehouse stood empty, save for a solitary stone occupying the open space. It was neither too small nor too large, weighing around a hundred catties, barely surpassing two hundred catties.

Liu Yong, stepping out of the car with an exuberant smile, approached the stone as if gazing upon a priceless treasure. After scrutinizing it repeatedly, he exclaimed, "Chen Hu, help me load this into the car."

Chen Hu finally comprehended why the boss had explicitly requested the presence of the large G-class vehicle. It served the purpose of conveniently transporting the stone, given its spacious trunk.

Approaching the stone, Chen Hu examined it and effortlessly lifted it as though it were not a stone but a mere chunk of foam. The task required no exertion on his part.

With attributes like strength, agility, and constitution reaching around 1000, Chen Hu found handling objects weighing a few hundred catties or even a couple of tons effortless.

Observing the stone carefully placed in the car and the trunk closed, Liu Yong waved and said, "Let's go. We're headed to the Huahai Mineral Research Institute. I've already arranged a meeting with Director Luo."

The off-road vehicle set off, and the warehouse gates closed behind them. Roughly an hour later, they arrived at the Huahai Mineral Research Institute.

Liu Yong had arranged this visit well in advance. Travelling extensively to acquire the stone, he only intended to determine when the colossal cavities at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean had formed.

Luo Yong, eagerly awaiting their arrival, hurriedly approached Liu Yong as he stepped out of the car, extending his hand for a handshake. "Mr. Liu, welcome to our Mineral Research Institute."

Liu Yong reciprocated the gesture and exclaimed, "I appreciate your assistance."

Opening the trunk himself, Liu Yong pointed towards the sizable rock resting within and stated, "Director Luo, please employ the isotope measurement method to determine when this side of the rock was formed."

Despite its many years submerged on the seabed, the stone exhibited a discernible cut surface. Liu Yong surmised that this cut face had originated when the three colossal holes were formed, potentially revealing the age of these geological formations—centuries, millennia, tens of thousands of years, or even longer.

Utilizing the isotope method to measure time posed no difficulty for Luo Yong and his team. They boasted highly skilled personnel and sophisticated equipment.

However, moving the stone presented a challenge due to its substantial size, necessitating the efforts of at least three or four individuals.

Luo Yong exclaimed, "Yuan Gong, gather some young men to assist in moving the stone."

A smile graced Liu Yong's face as he responded, "No need to call anyone. Just bring a cart over here."

Soon enough, a cart was wheeled in their direction.

Rolling up his sleeves, Luo Yong grinned and said, "It's been a while since I've moved something this heavy. Gong Yuan, you and the others can lend me a hand."

With a smile, Liu Yong's gaze shifted towards Chen Hu, and he uttered, "Director Luo, no need for your personal involvement. Leave itto my driver."

Luo Yong was momentarily taken aback by the statement, cautioning, "Mr. Liu, this rock isn't small. It weighs at least one hundred and seventy to eighty catties, far too heavy for a single person to handle."

Without uttering a word, Chen Hu effortlessly lifted the stone off the cart and placed it onto it, appearing at ease.

The onlookers, including Luo Yong, were stunned by the display of strength. Liu Yong's driver possessed exceptional power, resembling a true powerhouse.

Beside him, Yuan Gong, an avid sports enthusiast, couldn't help but find Chen Hu familiar, although his identity remained elusive beneath the shield of oversized sunglasses.
