Chapter 461: Chapter 268: Successful Enhancement, Driving Away the School of Fish
Ren Yuanyang and the Great White Shark had been locked in a stalemate for over five hours before the barrier blocking his Mental Energy finally loosened, allowing a faint mental ripple to pass through.
Though it was indistinct, Ren Yuanyang had already deciphered the meaning of the mental ripple.
"Don’t hurt my children, and I won’t resist!"
Ren Yuanyang felt a surge of elation and immediately replied to the Great White Shark, "Don’t worry. I will absolutely not harm you or your children!"
"Okay. Please, let me go quickly. My children are about to be born!"
"I’ll be done in a moment!" Ren Yuanyang activated the strengthening process again.
’System, strengthen its intelligence!’
The Great White Shark was already highly evolved in other aspects; strengthening them further would consume too much of Ren Yuanyang’s Mental Energy.
All he needed now was for the Great White Shark to understand his commands, so he focused on strengthening its intelligence.
[Strengthening successful. Great White Shark’s intelligence has been enhanced, equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human...]
Even though he only strengthened a single aspect, more than half of Ren Yuanyang’s Mental Energy was drained away!
Strengthening intelligence was exceptionally draining on his Mental Energy.
Once the process was complete, Ren Yuanyang immediately gave the order, "You can remove the metal restraints from the Great White Shark now!"
Qin Haonan, who had been standing by bored out of his mind, jumped to his feet at the command. "Chief, does this mean you’ve tamed it?"
Ren Yuanyang gave a slight nod, then continued, "Jiamei, bring a few boatloads of the Evolutionary Fish we just caught and dump them in for it."
"Dump them for it?" Lu Jiamei repeated, stunned for a moment.
"It’s about to give birth!" Ren Yuanyang quickly explained.
Lu Jiamei nodded at once and turned to leave.
Qin Haonan, who was in the middle of unbinding the Great White Shark, heard the news and exclaimed, "So you’re not just getting one pet, but a whole litter of Great White Sharks?"
"That’s right. We got a buy-one-get-ten-free deal," Ren Yuanyang replied with a smile. "With this many Great White Sharks as our base’s Guardian Beasts, we shouldn’t have to worry about any more swarms of fish."
"You mean this Great White Shark is carrying ten pups?" Qin Haonan asked, his delight growing.
"Yes, and they look like they’re due any minute now," Ren Yuanyang confirmed with a nod.
Qin Haonan swiftly removed all the metal restraints from the Great White Shark. At last, it was free!
It could feel its thoughts become much clearer, more defined. It knew this was the wisdom its new master had granted it.
"Thank you, Master!"
A young girl’s voice suddenly rang out in Ren Yuanyang’s mind.
He froze for a second, then instantly realized it was the Great White Shark before him, expressing its gratitude.
This wasn’t a mental ripple he had to decipher. The communication between him and the Great White Shark was now far more direct and efficient!
"’Master’ sounds strange. Call me Chief from now on, like the others," Ren Yuanyang responded.
"Yes, Chief!"
"I’ve had some food brought over for you. You can give birth here," Ren Yuanyang instructed.
"Yes, thank you, Chief!" the Great White Shark responded.
Just then, Lu Jiamei began directing several boats to dump their catches of sea fish into the water.
All the Great White Shark had to do was open its mouth and wait!
Staring at the gaping, blood-red maw before them, the crew members dumping the fish felt their legs tremble, overcome with the urge to flee.
"Don’t be afraid," Lu Jiamei reassured them. "This Great White Shark is our Chief’s pet now. It won’t harm you."
The crew members paused, then asked uncertainly, "A shark that big... will it really listen to orders?"
"Rest assured," Lu Jiamei replied with a smile.
Perhaps because it had already eaten its fill of fish earlier, the Great White Shark stopped after just two mouthfuls.
Seeing that it had stopped eating, Lu Jiamei shot a confused look at Ren Yuanyang.
Ren Yuanyang announced, "It’s about to go into labor. Everyone, pull back for now. Give it a quiet space to deliver its pups."
The surrounding boats immediately pulled away, docking by the shore and cutting their engines. All eyes were fixed quietly on the behemoth.
Soon enough, the Great White Shark successfully delivered ten healthy pups.
"Chief, please grant my children the same wisdom you gave me!"
The Great White Shark’s plea echoed in Ren Yuanyang’s mind.
"Of course," Ren Yuanyang readily agreed.
’System, strengthen the Great White Shark pups’ speed, attack power, and intelligence!’
[Strengthening successful...]
Ren Yuanyang swayed on his feet, and Qin Haonan, who was beside him, quickly steadied him.
Strengthening the pups might have been relatively simple, but there were ten of them, and the process still consumed a massive amount of his Mental Energy.
"Alright, take them and go hunt," Ren Yuanyang commanded the Great White Shark. "Focus on clearing out the swarms of fish near the treeline. Do not harm any humans without my direct order. If you run out of food, approach the shore near these trees or get the attention of the guards. I will instruct them not to attack you."
"Yes, Chief!" the Great White Shark replied, before leading its pups toward a distant swarm of fish.
Just then, messages from other fleets began popping up in the regional channel.
"Captain Long, we saw you guys caught a shark earlier. Any chance you could sell us a few steaks to try?"
"Yeah, that shark was huge! Spare a few pieces for us!"
"You guys have no ambition. If you’re going to eat shark, you go for the fin! Captain Long, just name a price!"
By this point, Long Zhan had already received word from Ren Yuanyang that the Great White Shark had been tamed and was now his pet.
He hadn’t even had a chance to make the public announcement, and people were already asking to buy shark meat from him.
"Don’t even think about it!" Long Zhan immediately replied in the regional channel. "That shark has been tamed by our base. In the future, you are not to attack any sharks you encounter. Doing so will be considered a declaration of war on our Dragon Base!" He simultaneously broadcast the same announcement on the world channel.
