Leveling Up With My Pet

"This is the guy you were talking about!" complained Liu Yong.

Liu Yong had initially thought it was some form of marine creature, but it was a product of modern science and technology.

"Goodness gracious!" they exclaimed, realizing it was a submersible sailing quickly underwater, reaching 20 to 30 knots.

"Master, I found it. It's this thing," said Liu Yong, pointing towards the submersible.

"I saw it too. Its sudden appearance must have startled you," replied Liu Yong.

"Yes, it was this thing. I was sleeping peacefully, but suddenly it appeared beside me, whooshing by and jolting me awake," confirmed the  Bawang.

Amused, Liu Yong couldn't help but laugh at the realization that this submersible had startled the mighty Overlord.

From a third-party perspective, Liu Yong could see that the object was an underwater submersible, around four to five meters long, cylindrical and yellow, with a diameter of approximately 300 mm, and sailing underwater.

"Master, do you want me to smash it?" asked Bawang.

Although the submersible was sailing at a relatively fast speed of 20 to 30 knots, it was nothing compared to Bawang's rate.

Bawang rushed towards it confidently, ready to destroy it with his giant spear.

Liu Yong, on the other hand, was more cautious. He wondered to himself which country the submersible belonged to - was it from their own country or another?

Given that they were not far from Huahai City, with a straight-line distance of around 100 nautical miles, it seemed more likely to belong to their own country.

It was doubtful that a foreign unmanned submersible would venture into this area.

Overlord, take your time smashing it. Keep your distance, follow it from a distance first, and don't let it out of your sight."

The seawater here is clear, and the light is relatively sufficient. Overlord has superpowers and will not lose sight even if he is thousands of meters away.

"Good master, then I will follow from a distance and wait for your news."

Bawang is actually very impulsive, wishing to rush up and smash that strange guy, but the master has orders, and they must be faithfully carried out.

After ordering Bawang to follow from a distance, Liu Yong checked it online.

After a search, most of them are news that fishermen captured the submarine of country M.

After checking some news reports on the Internet, Liu Yong is sure that this 80% are the submarines of country M, not ours.

Liu Yong considered the possibility of retrieving the unmanned submersible as allowing foreign nations to conduct investigations in their coastal waters would be a source of embarrassment.

"Overlord, move in and sever the optical fiber behind the submersible. Retrieve the submersible and bring it back to our warehouse by the sea," ordered Liu Yong.

Overlord, eager to comply with his master's orders, quickly grabbed the submersible with his paw.

With his speed exceeding 100 knots, the optical fiber behind the submersible was cut rapidly, and the submersible was pulled away and soon out of sight.

Not far from the area, a small boat full of foreigners, primarily consisting of white and black Americans, was alerted by the commotion.

Despite its civilian appearance, this vessel was a converted detection vessel belonging to the US military.

A group of citizens from M country was operating a crewless submarine, transmitting gathered data to their computer for analysis and safekeeping. Suddenly, a piercing scream erupted.

"What's happening?!" one of them yelled.

"James, what's the matter?" another asked.

"Boss, we lost contact with the submersible out of nowhere. It's as if the transmission fiber has been severed," James replied frantically.

"Oh, no. That can't be," the group leader muttered before approaching the commotion. Upon inspecting the situation, he looked utterly hopeless.

"Damn it. It's a fiber optic break," the group leader cursed.

As the latest submarine from M country, there should have been no issues with a fiber breakage, yet it had occurred anyway.

Unbeknownst to them, an enormous snapping turtle had snatched the underwater vehicle and was now several nautical miles away.

Bawang wasted no time in taking hold of the submersible and departing swiftly. His destination was crystal clear - he needed to deliver it to the seaside warehouse as per Liu Yong's request.

In Huahai City, Chen Lizheng, a national security department head, sat in his office and lit a cigarette, feeling the weight of the pressure upon him.

His superior had just called to inform him of the M country's reconnaissance ship's activities, which had come as close as 100 nautical miles to Huahai City to conduct surveillance using their latest unmanned submersibles.

Chen was annoyed that the M country's reconnaissance ships often disguised themselves as civilian vessels, making it challenging to detect them.

As he exhaled a giant smoke ring, Chen wished he could capture an M country unmanned submersible.

However, he knew it was just wishful thinking.

After all, it takes work to capture US unmanned submersibles.

While there have been instances of fishermen catching M country's submarines, it was just a matter of chance, and it would be challenging to repeat such a stroke of luck.

Driving off the reconnaissance ships of country M was proving to be quite tricky.

"They often disguise themselves as civilian ships, and they're always elusive,"

Chen Li remarked.

"The best way is to capture their new unmanned submersible. As long as we get our hands on the submersible, they won't be able to conduct investigations. Plus, it'll make them fearful and restrained,"

Chen Li added, pondering the situation.

"But that's easier said than done," he admitted, feeling the weight of the pressure on his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Overlord managed to retrieve country M's submersible with impressive speed and placed it at the center of the warehouse.

"Master, the things have been brought back and put in the warehouse," he reported to Liu Yong.

Observing the M country's submarine through a third-party vision, Liu Yong felt pleased and commended Overlord's performance, saying, "Good performance."

"Master, then I'm leaving. If you have any tasks, please contact me. I'll be on call at any time," Overlord requested.

"OK, go ahead," Liu Yong granted permission.

Overlord left to return to the sea, while Liu Yong couldn't help but think that they might have obtained more than 90% of what they were looking for.

He set off immediately to the seaside warehouse to confirm his suspicions.

"I only brought Chen Hu, and he drove us to the warehouse in less than an hour. When we walked into the warehouse, we saw the submersible in the middle,"

Liu Yong recounted.

He quickly made his way to the center of the submersible with Chen Hu, who recognized the object, exclaiming,

"Boss, this is an unmanned submersible."

Liu Yong asked Chen Hu to take a closer look and confirm if it was the submarine from country M.

After careful examination, Chen Hu deduced,

"It should be the submarine of country M, but the model is not clear. We need to find a professional to take a closer look."

Liu Yong nodded and took out his phone to take several photos of the submersible.

The next step was to find someone who could identify the type of submersible they had obtained.

Soon, Liu Yong thought of someone and called on his mobile phone.
