Leveling Up With My Pet

Throughout the day, from morning until nightfall, Liu Yong repeatedly opened the pet panel to monitor the status of the Overlord. However, despite his efforts, the Overlord's attributes and weight remained unchanged.

Liu Yong was feeling down as he sat on his sofa at home, pondering how the Overlord had not shown any signs of progress, which was a first for him. He couldn't help but wonder if this was the Overlord's limit.

Feeling lost and somewhat uneasy, he turned to Bawang and asked,

"How are you doing, Overlord?"

Liu Yong communicated with his pet once again, showing genuine concern for its well-being.

Bawang responded,

"Master, I have a voracious appetite and can eat a great deal. In fact, I've consumed two to three times my normal amount of food over the past couple of days."

Liu Yong couldn't help but chuckle at Bawang's impressive eating habits.

Liu Yong was surprised to hear that the Overlord had been consuming such an enormous amount of food, as he typically ate a quarter to a third of his body weight, which was more than enough.

He realized that very few creatures could eat so much in a single day, and the thought made him uneasy. The situation seemed even more daunting now.

Bawang's food consumption had increased to two or three times the usual amount, meaning it consumed around five to ten tons daily.

After being taken aback by this staggering amount, Liu Yong asked with concern,

"Aside from the increase in food consumption, have you noticed any other differences from your usual behavior?"

After some thought, the Overlord responded, "I feel quite sleepy right now and would like to take a good nap."

Typically, the Overlord had abundant energy, and this was a new development that puzzled Liu Yong as well.

Unable to determine the cause of the Overlord's behavior, Liu Yong replied,

"If you feel like sleeping, then please find a comfortable place to rest."

"Alright, I'll find a spot to rest on my own," replied the Overlord.

After concluding the communication with Bawang, Liu Yong spent considerable time chatting with Li Changle.

The following morning, Liu Yong's first action upon waking up was to open the pet panel and check Bawang's condition, just as he had done a few days earlier.

Liu Yong was taken aback by what he saw. Although the Overlord's attributes, weight, and skills remained unchanged, "sleeping" was added after describing the mutant snapping turtle.

Such as

[[

Name: Mutant snapping turtle (sleeping)

......….

]]

This new development had not occurred before, and Liu Yong attempted to communicate with the Overlord but had yet to receive a response.

He couldn't help but wonder if this meant that...

Liu Yong had a hunch that after falling asleep, Bawang may undergo an upgrade and continue to evolve.

Filled with anticipation, Liu Yong awaited the Overlord's awakening from its deep slumber.

Gradually, the sense of loss he had felt earlier gave way to a renewed sense of hope.

At around nine o'clock, Liu Yong arrived at his company and settled in his office. It wasn't long before Qiu Yang came in and greeted him.

"Good morning, Boss!" he said.

Liu Yong nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "Have the full 2 billion funds arrived?"

This investment was a significant milestone for the company, and everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the funds.

Here's a possible rephrased version of the text:

Liu Yong confirmed that the 2 billion funds had arrived and asked Qiu Yang, "So what's your plan now?"

Qiu Yang had already given it some thought and responded confidently, "I plan to rapidly expand the company's scale by recruiting top talents and expanding our fleet."

He talked about his plan and which giant ships he plans to buy, including bulk carriers, container ships, etc.

After listening, Liu Yong asked, "Currently, which route is the most profitable?"

Qiu Yang hesitantly replied: "Of course, it is to transport oil to the Middle East."

Liu Yong decided: "Then let's buy at least two large oil tankers, 100,000 tons or more, and try to travel to the Middle East."

Qiu Yang cautioned, "While it is a possibility, the associated risk is significant. The Middle East's intricate relationships make it possible for certain forces to detain the ship."

"Anyone who dares to seize Lao Tzu's boat is clearly becoming impatient," remarked Liu Yong, feeling a twinge of irritation that he kept to himself. "We're not afraid of taking risks, as long as we can reap the rewards," he added.

As they discussed the prospects of their company, Liu Yong's phone rang, interrupting their conversation.

When Liu Yong answered the call, he heard Gao Dake's voice on the other end. "President Liu, my apologies for calling unexpectedly. It is Gao Dake from the Eastern District Bureau," he said.

Liu Yong' recalled meeting Gao Dake during their previous collaboration with the police to recover stolen firearms. He was taken aback by Gao Dake's courteous demeanor, wondering if there was a particular reason for his call.

"Hello, Gaoju. Please get straight to the point, and don't hesitate to speak your mind," replied Liu Yong, cutting to the chase.

Gao Dake followed suit and got right to the matter, saying, "Mr. Liu, I'll be direct with you."

"Here's the situation: The prince of Country A and his entourage are currently visiting Huahai City. Two days ago, while on a yacht trip, the princess accidentally dropped her necklace into the sea," explained Gao Dake.

"The necklace is not only of exceptional significance as it is the engagement necklace of the prince and princess, but it is also of great value. Crafted by top international jewelry masters, it features a sky blue diamond worth 25 million US dollars alone, and the total value of the necklace is estimated to be over 50 million dollars," elaborated Gao Dake.

If the necklace is worth 50 million US dollars, it equals 300 million or tens of millions in Yan country currency, a significant sum. It is no wonder that Country A is known for being a wealthy nation.

Gao Dake explained that the local authorities in Huahai City are taking this incident very seriously and have already mobilized search and rescue teams to recover the necklace. However, despite their efforts, they have yet to locate it thus far successfully.

"Although the water depth in that particular sea area is not excessively deep, measuring just over 300 meters, it has exceeded the limits of traditional diving methods. Salvage operations in this area would require the use of advanced pressure-resistant metal suits, or better yet, a seabed salvage robot," said Gao Dake.

"His Royal Highness has offered a substantial reward for the recovery of the necklace. If an individual or company is able to salvage the necklace, he is willing to pay 20 million US dollars," continued Gao Dake.

Liu Yong was astounded by the reward amount. "$20 million!" he exclaimed.

Liu Yong got tempted, but unfortunately, Bawang was still sleeping and didn't know when he would wake up.

Gao Dake said: "Mr. Liu, your company has strong deep sea salvage capabilities, you can try it."

Liu Yong quickly said, "Gao Ju, thank you for telling me the news."

Gao Dake said modestly: "It's just a matter of raising your hands. If you can salvage the things, that would be the best. I believe that the big leaders in the city also hope to salvage the things as soon as possible."

"Okay, I see, let's get ready right away."

After the call ended, Liu Yong thought in his heart, 20 million US dollars!

Bawang remains in a prolonged slumber, and his awakening is uncertain. To secure the 20 million US dollar reward, Liu Yong may have to take matters into his own hands. He informed Qiu Yang of His Royal Highness' offer while discarding King Concubine A's necklace into the depths of the sea, which was over 300 meters deep.

After giving his order, Liu Yong commanded, "Get me a full set of deep-sea diving gear right away. I intend to use it myself."

Liu Yong is determined to take on the diving mission himself.

Qiu Yang responded, "Deep-sea salvaging and exploration are among our specialties. I have already arranged to purchase diving and exploration equipment. The company has everything you require."
