Leveling Up With My Pet



Liu Yong stood on the shore, his eyes fixed on Bawang, the magnificent Mutant Snapping Turtle, as he observed its relentless efforts through a unique third-party perspective. The sight was both awe-inspiring and concerning.

"It works fine," Liu Yong muttered, reassured by the ongoing progress. Bawang, with indomitable determination, exerted its colossal strength, maneuvering a massive grey-black metal fragment weighing at least 700 to 800 tons towards the shallows of the sea. The sheer force and determination displayed by the Overlord left Liu Yong pondering its true potential.

Yet, a hint of worry crept into Liu Yong's mind. He wondered if the Overlord had reached its maximum capacity, capped at a weight of 1,000 tons. Could it be that Bawang's growth had reached its limit, leaving it unable to ascend to even greater heights?

"This is not acceptable!" Liu Yong thought resolutely, his hopes soaring for the seemingly invincible creature. He yearned for the Overlord to surpass its current boundaries, to burgeon into a leviathan of thousands, if not tens of thousands of tons. Such a colossus would be an unparalleled dominator, reigning supreme over the ocean. Not even the most formidable warships or aircraft carriers could hold a candle to its power, let alone other oceanic beings.

An image of the Overlord at tens of thousands of tons, a true behemoth of the seas, tantalized Liu Yong's imagination. The mere thought of it brought him immense delight. "With such size and might, the Overlord could crush anyone who dares challenge its rule. How truly enjoyable that would be," Liu Yong mused.

Looking at Bawang from a third-party perspective, Liu Yong's focus shifted to the pet panel. The data displayed there outlined the astonishing attributes of the Mutant Snapping Turtle:

Name: Mutant Snapping Turtle

Power: 6W

Physique: 6W

Agility: 6W

Weight: 1000T

Swimming speed: 350 knots

Skills: Turtle Breath (Level 3), Tortoise Shell Art (Level 3), Super Vision (Level 2),

Super Sense (Level 2), Sprint (Level 1)

As he studied the numbers, Liu Yong couldn't help but feel that the Overlord had reached a significant impasse. Its attributes had all peaked at an astounding 6W, yet there had been no sign of any further growth for several days.

"God bless, the Overlord must break through this bottleneck," Liu Yong whispered fervently, his heart filled with determination and hope.

In the vast expanse of the North Pacific Ocean, amidst the tranquil blue waters, the enigmatic Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter stood like a fortress of industry. Within its smelting workshop, the formidable figure of Xin Feiwen, accompanied by a group of skilled technicians and seasoned managers, strode purposefully through the bustling work site. Adorned in hard hats and sturdy work clothes, they embodied a collective determination to achieve greatness.

In a tale of corporate transformation, Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter has undergone significant changes since its acquisition by the esteemed Global Shipping Group. Amidst this transition, Xin Feiwen emerged as the resolute factory director, steering the ship of progress with unwavering leadership.

The heart of the smelting workshop pulsed with life as the special smelting furnace roared with fiery intensity. Within its belly, dozens of tons of grey-black metal underwent a dramatic transformation, melting into a molten cascade that gracefully flowed from the furnace's mouth into waiting ladles. There, the liquid metal underwent a metamorphosis, shaping into pristine steel ingots, symbolizing the birth of newfound strength and unity.

In the bustling port city of Huahai, the towering "Blue Whale" docked majestically, accompanied by the bulk carrier "Shiwang," an immense vessel with a colossal displacement exceeding 100,000 tons. Proudly bringing back a treasure trove of 50,000 to 60,000 tons of black and grey metal, the ships heralded a prosperous future for the smelter.

With great precision, the grey-black metals were unloaded and meticulously transported to the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter. They were destined to undergo a remarkable metamorphosis, transitioning from raw fragments into refined steel ingots, sheets, and bars, each destined to play a vital role in shaping the world.

Meanwhile, a titan of the deep, known only as the Overlord, completed a monumental mission in the depths of the North Pacific Ocean. Carrying a vast spear, the Overlord combed the ocean floor, retrieving nearly all the transportable metal fragments scattered across the underwater realm. Only the colossal remnants, weighing several thousand tons each, remained untouched.

The Overlord's triumphant feat allowed him to relax, indulging in a well-deserved respite. As he ventured into the depths of a grand trench, he unwittingly found himself entangled in a thrilling encounter with a massive, thousand-ton giant octopus. A battle of wills ensued, and the Overlord's prowess eventually triumphed as he overcame the behemoth, dragging it back to his temporary underwater cave.

With the giant octopus at the cave entrance, the Overlord retreated into the shadows to partake in a sumptuous feast. His monstrous appetite knew no bounds as he devoured the octopus with voracious delight, consuming half of the thousand-ton creature in one magnificent feast.

As astonishing as it may seem, this titanic being had devoured five to six hundred tons of food in one sitting. Indeed, it was a testament to the insatiable hunger of the Overlord, whose appetite seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.

Now sated and content, the Overlord decided to rest in the cozy confines of his cave. No longer burdened by the role of a porter, he lay down to slumber, his immense frame radiating an awe-inspiring power.

In the following days, a delightful routine unfolded for the Overlord. Each day was marked by its relentless pursuit of giant octopuses, honing its hunting skills with precision and grace. After a successful hunt, the majestic creature would indulge in moments of repose, basking in the calming rhythm of the ocean waves. Yet, even amidst these tranquil interludes, the Overlord remained vigilant, always watchful for any signs of danger that might encroach upon its territory.

The Overlord couldn't help but marvel at how contented it felt, despite its voracious appetite as the days stretched on. Surprisingly, its weight maintained a steady equilibrium at an impressive 1,000 tons, showing no signs of fluctuation. This newfound equilibrium puzzled the Overlord, but it accepted it as a gift from the vast ocean that cradled its existence.

Meanwhile, on land, a different tale was unfolding. Liu Yong, an influential figure, had embarked on a personal visit to the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter. The imposing factory stood before him, and with him, his trusty bodyguard, Xiao Zhao, occupied the co-pilot seat, chauffeured by the capable Chen Hu. The purpose of Liu Yong's visit was to inspect the results of the grey-black metal's processing.

As the car pulled up to the factory gate, Xin Feiwen, a dedicated employee, was already there, eager to greet the distinguished guests. Accompanied by several senior managers, he exuded a respectful air and welcomed Liu Yong with deference. "Hi, boss, welcome to guide the work," he beamed.

With a warm smile, Liu Yong exchanged handshakes with everyone, including Xin Feiwen, before gesturing for them to lead the way. "Let's proceed inside," he said, commanding authority.

Xin Feiwen acted as the gracious guide, ushering Liu Yong through the factory premises while providing an insightful overview of current affairs. Evidently, the acquisition of this factory had not disrupted its operations; on the contrary, the workforce appeared more energized and productive.

This revitalized atmosphere was partly due to Liu Yong's generous gestures. Upon acquiring the factory, he had thoughtfully rewarded each employee with a well-deserved bonus and promised a significant 20% increase in their salaries. This compassionate approach engendered loyalty and dedication among the workers.

Their first stop was the raw material yard, a vast expanse of cement floor spanning over 1,000 square meters, now filled with grey-black metal. The scale was staggering, totalling an impressive 50,000 to 60,000 tons.

Proudly, Xin Feiwen reported, "Our primary focus at the moment is to process these metals into standard steel ingots, as well as various sheets and bars through smelting."

With a discerning eye, Liu Yong surveyed the surroundings, acknowledging the significance of this metal accumulation. He offered a word of caution, "Ensure tight security to prevent any theft."

Reassuringly, Xin Feiwen replied, "Boss, you can trust us on that matter. We have taken extensive measures, installing multiple cameras and doubling the number of security guards."

Satisfied with the preparations, Liu Yong continued his tour, inspecting the finished product warehouse where processed steel ingots, sheets, and bars were neatly arranged. The sight filled him with a sense of accomplishment, knowing that his investments had borne fruit.

Meanwhile, the Overlord revelled in a triumphant feast in the boundless expanse of the North Pacific Ocean. Its mighty jaws devoured over half a thousand-ton giant octopus, savouring every morsel. However, an unusual sense of drowsiness enveloped the sea behemoth this time.

A deep instinct, often inherent in animals, stirred within the Overlord. It realized that a significant change was on the horizon—one that might lead to its evolution, surpassing the 1,000-ton threshold it had long held. Resolute not to overlook this crucial juncture, the Overlord swam with determination, covering hundreds of sea miles in one relentless swim until it reached a secluded, uninhabited deserted island.

In the heart of the North Pacific Ocean, this island spanned several square kilometres and was densely cloaked in a prehistoric jungle. Towering trees, reaching tens of meters in height, loomed majestically. Their trunks were so thick that several people would need to join hands to encompass them fully.

An abundance of wildlife and exceptionally diverse bird species inhabited this untouched sanctuary. Upon the Overlord's arrival, a cacophony of fluttering wings filled the air as flocks of birds took to the skies in startled unison.

With the innate wisdom of its kind, the Overlord ventured into the heart of the dense jungle, seeking a serene spot to rest. It discovered a flat clearing, settled comfortably, and surrendered to a profound slumber.
