Leveling Up With My Pet

91 Wait For the Right Time!

The helicopter cruised over the vast expanse of the sea for a considerable time, scouring the horizon for any sign of the elusive target.

Failing to spot anything noteworthy, the chopper came to a standstill, hovering over the water.

Someone on board contacted the patrol boat commander, requesting permission to deploy the sonar buoy.

"Request to drop the sonar buoy," the voice crackled through the communication channel.

"Agree to apply," came the reply from the commander.

With the green light given, the helicopter began to lower the sonar buoys into the depths below.

It was apparent that RB, the organization behind the military patrol boats and anti-submarine helicopters, had invested considerable money in this operation.

Within moments of the buoy's deployment, a breakthrough was made.

"Report, 7 o'clock direction, 1.3 nautical miles away to find a suspected target," announced a voice over the radio.

"Track the target closely," ordered the commander.

The anti-submarine helicopter sprang into action, tailing the suspected target with precision.

The two patrol boats raced towards the target at breakneck speed, their rapid-fire guns ready.

The tension was palpable as they closed in on the unknown entity, poised to strike immediately.

"Report, the target disappeared!" exclaimed the voice over the radio.

"Repeat, target disappears!" the voice repeated with growing alarm.

The anti-submarine helicopter crew was getting impatient, repeatedly announcing that they had lost track of the target despite deploying the sonar buoys.

"Put down the tow sonar and search!" barked Commander Ma Shan, taking charge of the situation on the patrol boat.

He knew that the towed sonar was the key to locating the target.

Unlike the buoy sonar, which floated on the surface, the towed sonar was lowered to a specific point in the water, providing more precise data.

The anti-submarine helicopter crew sprang into action, preparing to drop the towed sonar by lowering their altitude further. Suddenly, something incredible happened.

It was so unexpected that it left everyone stunned.

The sight that unfolded before the eyes of the patrol boat crew left them dumbfounded.

In their wildest dreams, they never imagined that a massive shark would burst out of the water with such ferocity, its jaws wide open.

The creature propelled itself to a more than ten-meter height, its target fixed on the anti-submarine helicopter hovering mid-air.

The shark lunged toward the helicopter without warning, biting it swiftly before slamming it hard.

The aircraft spun out of control, thrown hundreds of meters away as if it were a mere toy.

The crew on the patrol boat were in shock as they watched the helicopter plummet towards the water's surface, crashing into it with a loud splash.

Chaos ensued as someone screamed,

"Fire, fire!"

The patrol boat unleashed a barrage of gunfire. But it was futile, as the shark seemed impervious to the onslaught of bullets.

After the giant shark had bitten the anti-submarine helicopter, throwing it far away before it crashed into the water, it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

The entire incident happened in a matter of seconds, leaving the patrol team in shock.

The rapid-fire gunshots from the patrol boat missed their mark, only creating small splashes on the water's surface.

The giant shark was too elusive for them to hit accurately.

Despite being shaken by the sudden attack, the patrol team stayed in the area, unwilling to give up their search for other potential threats.

The two patrol boats revved up their engines, racing across the water as fast as possible, hoping to cover as much ground as possible.

A COAST

This is a charming fishing village where most villagers earn their livelihood from fishing, including Shinji Kiyotake's family.

In the morning, Shinji Kiyotake prepared to embark on a fishing trip.

However, a middle-aged man rushed over to stop him before he could set sail.

"Mr. Qingwu, you cannot go out to sea these days, it's too dangerous," the middle-aged man warned.

Shinji was confused and replied, "Why do you say that? The weather is perfect for fishing today, and we might return with a bountiful catch."

The middle-aged man explained,

"Haven't you heard the news? A massive shark has been spotted in the nearby waters. It's incredibly ferocious, and it has already killed around 20 people. Moreover, just yesterday, the shark attacked an anti-submarine helicopter, causing it to crash, and all three people on board died."

Shinji was stunned by the news.

He rarely paid attention to current events, but if something as terrible as this had occurred, he knew that going out to sea was not an option.

"We cannot go fishing at sea, and our economic income will suffer. Do you have any news on when it will be safe to go out again?"

Shinji inquired.

The middle-aged man shrugged and replied,

"I don't know. But I do know that we cannot go to sea until that giant shark is caught and killed. A reward has been offered for its capture."

Shinji was disappointed that he could not go fishing but he was not alone. The entire fishing community was affected, and even the tourism industry took a hit.

No one dared to swim or sunbathe on the beach, let alone take a yacht to sea.

Internationally, many organizations have condemned the recent nuclear leak and the RB government's decision to discharge radioactive seawater into the ocean.

"Brother Yong, did you hear about the Tanaka consortium's statement? They're offering a reward of 20 million US dollars to anyone who kills the giant shark," Ding Wen informed Liu Yong over the phone. "And the latest news is that the reward has been raised to 50 million dollars."

Liu Yong was stunned by the information. The reward had doubled in just a few days.

It is predicted that specific hunting organizations would feel an immense surge of excitement, akin to being injected with chicken blood, upon hearing the news of a $50 million bounty.

This amount is enough to drive them crazy with desire. Liu Yong even contemplated whether or not he should intervene in the situation.

After all, $50 million is a significant sum of money. If they were to capture the giant shark and claim the reward successfully, their company could purchase another 100,000-ton tanker.

With this thought in mind, Liu Yong checked Bawang's progress by calling the pet panel.

Within a few days, Bawang had managed to gain an astonishing 12.2 tons, growing from a weight of 30 tons to 42.2 tons.

This rate of growth was truly remarkable. Additionally, various attributes had also increased along with Bawang's weight.

For example, its strength attribute had skyrocketed to 2342 points, representing an increase of hundreds compared to when it was only 30 tons.

Bawang's strength and agility had greatly improved, and even its reaction speed had improved.

Liu Yong pondered momentarily and concluded that Bawang now had the power to confront the giant shark head-on.

However, Liu Yong still decided to err on caution and wait a few more days. He was in no rush to confront such a ferocious beast, as he knew it would not be easy to take down.

Aside from his belief in the Overlord's capabilities, Liu Yong needed to put more faith in the hunting organizations driven by greed and motivated solely by the bounty.

He decided to wait a bit longer until the Overlord had grown more and its attributes had improved further.

Liu Yong was confident that waiting would increase their chances of success.

When the time was right, he envisioned the Overlord wielding a giant spear, confronting the big shark, and settling old scores.

Meanwhile, a 100,000-ton oil tanker was setting sail for its first ocean transportation trip at the pier, marking the company's debut in the oil transportation industry.

Liu Yong was personally present to oversee the departure of the tanker.

As the tanker gradually moved away from the dock, Liu Yong continued to watch until it was no more than a small black spot in the distance. Qiu Yang expressed his optimism:

"Boss, our oil tanker will bring a steady stream of wealth to the company from now on."

Recently, the company partnered with Yanhuang Petroleum Group, ensuring a steady supply of oil transportation business in the future.

For example, the team is currently on a trip to the Middle East's largest crude oil export port of country A.

As they watched the tanker sail away, Hu Shijun expressed his desire for the company to have more tankers like that.

"It would be great if the company had a few more tankers like this," Hu Shijun remarked.

Qiu Yang, however, remained silent, fully aware that purchasing or ordering more large oil tankers would place a significant financial burden on the company.

Even with the boss's recent investment of over 2 billion in giant ships, additional purchases could strain their finances.

Liu Yong noticed Qiu Yang's hesitation and offered reassurance,

"There will be, and it won't be too long. My goal is to form an ocean transportation fleet composed of dozens of giant tankers."

Qiu Yang and Hu Shijun looked at Liu Yong with admiration and awe, imagining the immense growth and success of the company with such an ambitious goal.

"An ocean transport fleet of dozens of giant tankers!"

Hu Shijun exclaimed.

With the prospect of an ocean transportation fleet consisting of dozens of giant tankers in mind, the company's future in the oil transportation industry looks promising.
