Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 380 Technological Breakthroughs





Zavier burst into the room with an air of exuberance. "President, I've returned!" he exclaimed, his enthusiasm palpable.

Sherman cast a curious gaze upon him, his interest piqued. "Have you managed to secure the super metal?" he inquired, his tone laced with anticipation. "And how much of it did you manage to acquire?"

Zavier's response was laden with a sense of reluctance. "The cost of the metal was exorbitant," he confessed. "The supplier demanded a staggering 20 million dollars per ton. Regrettably, I wasn't able to purchase even a kilogram."

What a turn of events! The news struck like a lightning bolt, leaving the room stunned.

"Haven't acquired it at all?" Hillman's visage contorted, his displeasure evident as he readied himself to reprimand Zavier.

Anticipating this, Zavier swiftly interjected, seeking to explain his actions. "President, although I wasn't able to secure the metal itself, I have, however, uncovered the source from which it originates."

Sherman's curiosity was instantly rekindled, his unease replaced by intrigue. "Tell me more," he urged, a tinge of excitement coloring his voice. "Have you truly managed to uncover the metal's source?"

"Absolutely," Zavier affirmed confidently. "I've pieced together the puzzle."

With the enthusiasm of a detective unveiling a breakthrough, he recounted his visit to the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelting Plant. "It's become clear to me that their metal is forged from those very metal fragments we've been chasing."

A spark of realization ignited in Sherman's eyes. "So, what we need is to determine the origin of those fragments," he mused aloud, his satisfaction at Zavier's deduction evident.

Indeed, this revelation struck a chord with Sherman. The key to unravelling the enigma seemed to lie in tracing the origin of those elusive metal fragments.

His resolve galvanized, and Sherman gestured firmly. "Summon a high-level meeting immediately," he declared, the urgency ringing in his voice. "We must leave no stone unturned in our quest to unearth the provenance of these fragments."

In no time, the top echelons of the Black Iron Company convened, their minds set on devising a strategy. The consensus was unanimous: every conceivable resource and avenue would be explored to unveil the source of the enigmatic metal fragments.

...

In the bustling harbour city of Huahai, the "Blue Whale" finally docked after a long voyage, flanked by two massive bulk carriers.

These carriers were laden with a treasure trove of grey-black metal fragments, an astounding 110,000 to 120,000 tons.

Without delay, the fragments were offloaded, making their way to the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter.

Merging seamlessly with the existing fragments, they formed a monumental heap that rose like a colossus within the raw materials yard, a testament to their sheer quantity.

Round-the-clock operations unfolded within the smelter, where the fragments underwent unrelenting smelting and processing.

Meanwhile, within the finished product warehouse, gleaming steel ingots, sheets, and bars stood orderly, awaiting their destined purpose.

Almost daily, military convoys descended upon the premises. Laden with the processed super metals, these motorcades departed for various military-industrial enterprises, where the materials would be channelled into an array of weaponry and equipment.

Over time, this extraordinary metal became public knowledge within the defence and military sectors.

Veterans of national defence and military industries revelled in a newfound pride. The advent of this excellent metal marked a milestone, obviating the need for costly imports and ushering in an era of self-sufficiency.

...

A pivotal moment unfolded in the lofty Universal Building as Huang Guang presented a meticulously curated list. This compilation showcased premier talents from the domestic rechargeable battery sector, meticulously scouted through headhunting efforts.

Liu Yong, seated authoritatively, perused the roster with discerning eyes. Having absorbed its contents, he issued his directives.

"Alert the headhunting firm to expedite the interview process," he commanded, his words laced with authority. "And ensure their compensation reflects their caliber."

Huang Guang, attentive to every syllable, nodded earnestly. "Brother Yong, with a competitive salary package, I believe we can secure at least a third of these experts."

The prospect of attracting such a significant fraction was indeed promising. It could yield a dozen exceptionally skilled individuals for the Global Research Center's ranks.

Liu Yong's affirmation was resolute. "Our scope shouldn't be confined to domestic prospects. The international landscape harbors untapped potential. Scouring foreign talent is a viable strategy."

Yet, Huang Guang harboured reservations. "Brother Yong, won't international hires pose security risks, jeopardizing confidentiality?"

Liu Yong, unwavering in his conviction, divulged his plan. "Rest assured, I've devised a strategy to ensure their unwavering loyalty."

Assured by this revelation, Huang Guang's apprehension abated. "With your assurance, Brother Yong, I'll proceed confidently with our international recruitment drive."

With a knowing smile, Liu Yong extracted a small azure vial from his drawer. "Huang Guang, this is a genetic enhancer. It enhances physical attributes safely, making the recipient akin to a mini-superhuman. Would you be interested?"

Huang Guang's surprise was palpable. "Such a thing exists?" he marvelled, hastily adding, "Brother Yong, your word is my guarantee. I'll take one."

Trusting Liu Yong implicitly, he uncorked the vial under Liu Yong's watchful gaze, swallowing its contents without hesitation.

Liu Yong elaborated on the transformation that awaited. "You'll soon experience heightened strength, agility, and endurance—an all-encompassing enhancement, akin to a fledgling superman."

A hopeful gleam entered Huang Guang's eyes. "Really? That's absolutely exhilarating!"

Their conversation delved deeper into matters of the Universal Scientific Research Center before Huang Guang departed, elated.

As Huang Guang exited, Liu Yong accessed the pet panel, endowing Huang Guang with a hundred attribute points each.

With many attributes at his disposal, Liu Yong's gifts brought physical prowess and an unspoken pledge of loyalty. This was the trump card—details granted, dedication ensured.

With over sixty thousand attributes to allocate, the potential for forging an intensely loyal team was immense. And as Liu Yong's details continued to burgeon, this potential swelled further.

Hidden within these augmented abilities lay a crucial attribute—a vow of allegiance to Liu Yong. Such a power could not go untapped.

And so, Liu Yong's vision took shape. The upper echelons of the global shipping company would be imbued with attributes, fostering unwavering allegiance. The pillars of the Universal Scientific Research Center, too, would receive this gift, solidifying their loyalty.

This rationale underscored Liu Yong's decision to seek foreign talent. The goal was clear: an unbreakable, devoted team, each member an extension of his purpose.

...

The narrative unfolds, revealing intricate threads that bind diverse characters and motives. Through diligent efforts, secrets unveiled, and alliances solidified, the stage is set for a thrilling saga where

  loyalty is paramount, and the quest for excellence knows no bounds.
