"Awooo!"
While Master Fuli and Feng Wenyu were discussing how to deal with the fish later, Ah Bai seemed to have seen something that shocked the dog, immediately howling like a wolf and pointing towards the giant shark on the sea surface.
"Fu... Brother Fuli! The fish, the fish's tail moved!"
"Hmm? The giant shark is awake?"
Ansheng glanced sideways at the floating giant shark and asked it, "Awake? If you're awake, make a sound."
"......"
The giant shark facing the sea was silent for a moment, then slowly transformed its position, standing upright on the sea, raising its solid, shark-skin-covered arm to show its palm:
"No need..."
"Thinking about it now, I feel I may not be that familiar with the folks on the boat, so I don't want it anymore."
When Master Fuli mentioned planning to stun it with a fish shocking machine, the giant shark instinctively sensed danger and forcibly woke up from its dormant state, but it didn't move.
Originally, the giant shark planned to pretend to be dead until Master Fuli left, then find a way to dive back into the sea, preventing it from being dragged back by the neck before diving.
However, seeing that it would get shocked no matter what, the giant shark couldn't sit still anymore.
"Oh, you actually know about the fish shocking machine?" Ansheng showed a surprised expression, looking at the giant shark and asking.
"Seen before, there was one on a fishing boat." The giant shark glanced at Master Fuli and spoke.
In the past, the giant shark had bitten a submarine cable, and that solid, numbing feeling wasn't pleasant to experience.
It roughly understood what Master Fuli mentioned; that fish shocking machine should be something of similar power.
Rather than enduring a shocking whip itself, maybe... the folks on the boat aren't that important.
After speaking, the giant shark slowly sank its body, preparing to bid farewell and dive back into the sea to sleep.
"Where are you going?"
Ansheng grabbed the giant shark's ear and lifted it back to the sea surface, smiling slightly and saying:
"The issue between us has never been about original cells. I'll now take you to meet your folks....."
The giant shark slightly turned its face, full of silence, clutching the ear that Master Fuli had grabbed.
"I'm not familiar with the folks... really, I've never met it before."
"Guesting on the boat isn't necessary..."
"No trouble, just come with us."
Master Fuli changed his technique from ear-grabbing to pinching the giant shark's upper and lower lips, making it unable to speak, only able to glare with its black eyes.
"Hmm?"
A large ship slowly approached, a guide rope thrown onto the sea. Feng Wenyu approached, grabbed it, and pulled the heavy recovery sling above the lifeboat.
"Hmm...."
Feng Wenyu looked at the guide rope in his hand, showing a thoughtful expression and instinctively glanced at the giant shark.
A moment later.
"Alright! Fish on board!"
Feng Wenyu signaled to the ship, and crane recovery operations began. The giant shark, its body trapped by the recovery sling, was reluctantly hoisted onto the large ship's deck by the crane, pouting.
Master Fuli leaped forward, taking advantage of the rivets to jump onto the ship.
"Master Fuli, your iced cola..."
Lin Bingyun, who had moved in advance, immediately offered a can of cola just taken from the fridge to Master Fuli as he boarded the ship, placing the straw in the mouth of the can.
"Alright....."
Ansheng took a sip of the cola, sat directly onto the deckchair, and looking at the giant shark, which had fallen onto the deck and was unwilling to move, said:
"I'm not some thug. My invitation to you on board is merely to ask a few questions..."
"Answer me honestly, and I will personally bestow upon you the title of King of the Sea, with a reward of fifty bottles of Spirit Particle Potion per month, and based on performance curves, benefits can be further improved, such as medical insurance, social security, and housing fund."
"Look, over there is your relative, who just joined the Security Bureau and can now flaunt fifty kilos of Spirit Particle Potion."
Fully understanding the characteristics of original cells, Ansheng skipped the small talk and laid everything out, just like fishing.
Additionally, Ansheng pointed to the well-fed you-know-who.
"Ssss...."
Seeing Master Fuli pointing toward it, the you-know-who with a steel helmet on its head suddenly held its breath, stiffly looking at the large shark.
The you-know-who had recently consumed a lot of Spirit Particle Potions produced by the Security Bureau.
Although there was no significant external change or newly acquired abilities, its body and Lu Tiannan's body retained majestic spiritual particles. Subconsciously controlled by Lu Tiannan, these were unlocking the survival path characteristics.
"....."
The giant shark frowned, its cheeks full of disdain and slight gnarling.
As fellow original cells, seeing the you-know-who enjoying food shamelessly, how could the giant shark not understand what had happened between the boat and the Security Bureau before?
This one is incredibly possessive, enjoying itself without any intention to lend a hand to its kin.
"Lu... Brother Lu! Run, it's baring its teeth at us!" Seeing the change in the giant shark's expression, the you-know-who urged Lu Tiannan to hide behind Master Fuli, fearing the shark girl could really send them flying.
"One fixed price, sixty kilos of Spirit Particle Potion. I'll sell it if you let me hit its chest twice more!"
The giant shark snapped back to reality, sat down directly on the deck, feet facing each other, arms resting on its knees, looked at Master Fuli and eagerly agreed to sign the indenture contract.
Survival and evolution are the supreme directives engraved in the base genetic code of original cells.
However, compared to the you-know-who, possibly due to different experiences, the giant shark's moral level was clearly a level higher.
Before meeting the you-know-who, even having lost the territorial struggle to Master Fuli, it was still trying its best to hide something.
After meeting the you-know-who, the giant shark no longer had any scruples.
"Alright! Old Feng, prepare for the giant shark." Ansheng glanced at Feng Wenyu and spoke.
"Sixty kilos...."
Feng Wenyu slightly furrowed his eyebrows, pondering where to find this amount of potion. Moments later, his internal phone shook with a video coming through.
Neatly arranged large barrels of Spirit Particle Potion were carted out from inside the research institute.
A researcher broadcast the address, recipient name, and donation target name in real time.
Feng Wenyu showed the video to the giant shark.
"I forgot my name, but those who came to catch fish always called me Big Shark..."
"Hmm, just call me Sharky." The giant shark thought for a moment and gave itself a code name.
"Ask whatever you want, I'm ready to push for performance. As for that little tadpole over there, you can use it for release; it should still be a relatively primitive embryo."
Sharky grinned fiercely at the you-know-who, very contemptuous of the you-know-who's unwillingness to share.
"Pah! My loyalty to Master Fuli is greater than yours!" The you-know-who, though timid, still bared its teeth at the giant shark when it came to its own rations.
