Leveling Up With My Pet



"Boss, can you tell me more about this thing?" Qiu Yang asked curiously.

Liu Yong looked at him with a stern expression. "There are some things that you don't need to know, Qiu Yang. Just focus on completing the task."

Qiu Yang nodded, understanding that he shouldn't press the matter further. "Alright, I'll get right on it. When do you need it done by?"

"Two or three days should be enough," Liu Yong replied. "Once it's done, we'll throw it in the sea near our warehouse."

Qiu Yang's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why would we throw it in the sea? Isn't that a waste of our effort?"

Liu Yong's expression turned cold. "You don't need to know the reason. Just do as you're told."

Qiu Yang knew better than to argue with his boss any further. "Okay, I understand. I'll make sure to get it done on time."

He couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy about the whole situation. But he knew that sometimes, it was better not to ask questions and do as he was told.

Located in Huahai City, there is a sizable forging factory with a reputation for producing large, impressive workpieces weighing hundreds of tons. For two reasons, the factory's owner, Li Can, took charge of a recent project that caught his attention.

The object's structure was relatively simple, consisting of a cylindrical steel rod with a pointed end, although it was of extraordinary size. Secondly, the processing costs were high. After Li Can made his offer, the other party did not counter-offer but requested to complete the project within two days.

The material used for the project was alloy steel, with the tip requiring quenching. Li Can found the forging process relatively straightforward and immediately began to work. 

He recalled that a few months prior, the same client had commissioned the factory to produce a 20-meter-long spear weighing 17 tons, a significant undertaking.

The current project was similar to the previous project but with a different spearhead. Whereas the spearhead on the last commission was triangular in shape, this time, only one end needed to be sharpened and quenched. The final product was expected to weigh around 78 tons, and Li Can couldn't help but wonder about the client's intended use for such a massive object.

Despite his curiosity, Li Can maintained his professional ethics and didn't ask any questions. He ensured that everything was completed according to the client's specifications.

After a couple of days, the colossal spear was processed and situated in the designated sea area per Liu Yong's request, successfully concluding the task.

Liu Yong received a report from Qiu Yang, who said, "Boss, we have built the weapon to your specifications, and it's positioned on the seabed close to our seaside warehouse."

"Great work, Qiu Yang. I appreciate your efforts," responded Liu Yong with gratitude.

As Qiu Yang exited the room, Liu Yong turned to his pet, Bawang, and said, "I have crafted your new weapon, my dear Bawang."

Overjoyed, Bawang, who was present in the East China Sea, around four to five hundred nautical miles away from Huahai City, received the news.

On its last visit to Guam, the waves encountered a swarm of ghost-haired jellyfish in an uncharted trench, which caused Bawang to avoid venturing further and return to the current sea area.

Fortunately, the East China Sea remained safe, with abundant food, including a variety of big fish and killer whales or whale sharks that could be easily hunted for a delightful and delicious meal.

"Master, I'll come to you immediately as my new weapon is already prepared," Bawang responded to Liu Yong without hesitation.

Without wasting any time, Bawang accelerated its horsepower and swam swiftly towards Huahai City, reaching a speed of at least 210 knots, slightly better than its previous speed a few days earlier.

Liu Yong glanced at the pet panel and was pleased with Bawang's progress. Over two days, Bawang had grown considerably, gaining several tons of weight.

With a speed that covered four to five hundred nautical miles within two hours, Bawang's exceptional velocity was undeniable. It appeared that it had effortlessly played through the journey without feeling exhausted or tired.

As Overlord arrived near the seaside warehouse, his gaze scanned the seabed in search of the giant spear. It did not take long before he spotted it, lying horizontally on the fine sand tens of meters deep. The spear's diameter was impressive, stretching 50 meters long and weighing almost 80 tons - a colossal weapon by all standards.

The Overlord could not contain his excitement and hastily discarded his previous spear, eager to lay his hands on this new treasure. If it had a voice, the giant spear would have expressed contentment at being held by the Overlord.

Liu Yong, observing through a third-party field of vision, could see that the spear was much larger and heavier than the Overlord's previous weapon. He asked with concern, "How is it, do you want to take advantage of it?"

Overlord responded enthusiastically, "Master, I think it's very handy. Look at how flexible I am when I swing it," waving the spear around the seabed with impressive agility.

However, Liu Yong's apprehension grew as he realized the potential consequences of the Overlord's actions. 

The water depth was not far from the shore, and the movements of the giant spear were causing noticeable waves, even visible from a small fishing boat nearby.

The young man on the boat pointed out the disturbance to his father, who quickly turned the ship around, not daring to venture further into the sea. 

The commotion caused by the spear was enough to spook even the most seasoned fishermen. Liu Yong warned Overlord to stop, "Stop, stop quickly, others will soon find you," fearing the attention their actions could attract.

"What! Has someone discovered it?" Overlord's sudden outburst was followed by a moment of apprehension. 

He realized he couldn't continue wielding the giant spear on the seabed and hastily retreated. He swam out for several miles before he could finally take a breath of relief, knowing that the water depth here was hundreds of meters, making it safer.

Despite the close call, I was discovering a new weapon, still excited Overlord. 

The water depth was just right, and the location was far enough from the coast. Overlord gripped the giant spear tightly and swung it around, enjoying the feel of its weight in his hands.

As he scanned the seabed, he noticed a large reef covered in seaweed and shellfish. Acting on a whim, he thrust the giant spear into the reef.

Overlord's incredible strength, estimated at around two hundred tons, coupled with the added power of the nearly 80-ton giant spear, created an enormous impact. 

The collision echoed through the water, causing nearby fish and shrimp to flee in fear. Overlord had torn the reef, weighing several tons, into pieces.

Bawang was pleased with the scene and thanked Liu Yong for his help in creating a new weapon. 

Bawang was delighted at the prospect, enjoying the convenience and power of the giant spear in his hands. He turned to Liu Yong and said, 

"Master, I'm going to trouble those jellyfish again and destroy them."
