Leveling Up With My Pet
Chapter 383 Widening The Research!

A palpable sense of anticipation enveloped the room as if time itself held its breath, all eyes converging on the unassuming battery that Liu Yong held in his hand. In an instant, the focal point of the gathering had shifted, like a celestial alignment drawing the gaze of every attendee to the object that held the promise of something extraordinary.

This was no mere battery; it was a prism through which a new era might be refracted. One by one, the attendees felt the tendrils of curiosity take hold, a relentless urge to grasp the elusive secrets concealed within this sample battery.

Liu Yong, ever attuned to the curiosity pulsating in the air, let a knowing smile grace his lips. "Dear friends," he began, his voice a mellifluous blend of excitement and authority, "Indulge your curiosity. Take a moment to acquaint yourselves with this marvel." With his words, the battery embarked on a journey, passed from Liu Yong's hand to the outstretched palm of a middle-aged gentleman seated beside him.

And then, the revered name echoed through the room: Hu Nan.

A titan of the battery industry, his accomplishments formed an impressive constellation—an illustrious doctorate, the mantle of chief energy scientist in a new energy vehicle company, and now, the chief scientist of the renowned Global Research Center. It was Hu Nan who first took hold of the battery, and in that instant, years of expertise converged in his fingertips.

With the precision of a virtuoso, Hu Nan examined the battery, his gaze a symphony of calculation and recognition. The subtle changes in his expression were like the notes of a complex melody—a raised brow here, a barely discernible nod there. It was as though he was deciphering an intricate code written in the battery's very structure.

The saying goes, "The bystander watches the spectacle, while the expert watches the process." In this room, Hu Nan stood as the embodiment of expertise, and to his discerning eyes, the battery's uniqueness was a tapestry unfurled.

Yet, time flowed on, heedless of the electrifying atmosphere. Expert hands passed the battery, each touch a note in the grand symphony of investigation. Ning Zetao, another luminous figure in the battery realm, received the battery with a mix of reverence and exhilaration. His eyes, trained to catch subtleties, now alighted on the battery's form with an artist's intensity.

In those moments, the room was a crucible of thought and wonder, a congregation of minds unravelling the enigma within their grasp. The process took time—minutes stretched into what felt like hours, the room resonating with a shared purpose.

And Liu Yong, the master of ceremonies, observed it all with unwavering patience. As if guided by a cosmic rhythm, the battery completed its orbit, returning to Liu Yong's hand. He seized this opportune moment, his voice resonating with purpose. "Behold our catalyst for innovation," his words, infused with urgency, swept through the room, a clarion call to action. "Decipher its mysteries, and from its essence, birth batteries that will power smartphones, new energy vehicles, and beyond."

Liu Yong's directives hung in the air, a map to the uncharted. He emphasized the crucial timeline, weaving his promises of funding like golden threads into his appeal for haste.

From his bag emerged a trove of cerulean vials, glistening like sapphire jewels. Huang Guang, a perceptive soul, recognized their contents as "genetic elixirs"—elixirs that promised unwavering endurance, superlative strength, and uncharted vitality.

As eyes widened and brows furrowed in incredulity, Huang Guang's voice cut through the skepticism. "Indeed, they are real," he affirmed, his tone imbued with the quiet conviction of experience. "I have partaken of their magic. After a marathon, I found myself refreshed, and even hauling weight seemed like child's play."

Huang Guang's words ignited a spark, like a match struck in the darkness. Doubt gave way to curiosity, and curiosity to resolve.

Hu Nan, the harbinger of trust, pledged his belief. "Master, grant me the elixir," his voice rang out, unwavering. It was a pledge made with unshakable conviction. And Liu Yong, his eyes gleaming with pride, met Hu Nan's resolve with a nod of affirmation.

With each vial sipped, transformation unfurled—a metamorphosis of potential, an alchemical fusion of science and physique. As if in a sacred ritual, the elixir bound these minds, intertwining their fate with the battery's potential.

The baton of discovery passed, the battery nestled once more in Hu Nan's hands. An unspoken pact hovered in the air, a silent covenant between Liu Yong's vision and Hu Nan's skill. Liu Yong's words, an oration of dedication, lingered in the room, echoing long after they were spoken.

And thus, the seeds of exploration took root, the promise of innovation sparking within each heart. The attendees dispersed, each bearing not just the sample battery and genetic elixir, but a charge of expectation that hummed like electricity in their veins.

Liu Yong's gaze lingered as they departed, his understanding deepened—the bestower of attributes must align with the heart, for mutual trust is the cornerstone of progress.

In the boundless expanse of the North Pacific Ocean, contrasts painted a vivid tableau. Bawang, replete with the taste of melon, observed the hubbub of the Black Iron Company's ceaseless endeavors. They toiled relentlessly, their goal to uncover fragments of gray-black metal scattered on the ocean floor—an elusive treasure that remained maddeningly out of reach.

On the grand stage of the salvage ship, Zavier's frustration danced like a tempest within him. The ship, the "Blue Whale," a vessel of the Global Shipping Group, had salvaged countless metal fragments from these waters. Yet, as if taunting their efforts, these fragments remained as elusive as mist.

Zavier's thoughts spiraled, a maelstrom of confusion. Where had the fragments gone? Were they a mirage, or a reality forever eluding their grasp? Questions cascaded, the answers more elusive than the fragments themselves.

He stood on the deck, his gaze lost in the expanse of the sea, as if seeking answers from the fathomless depths. Nearby, two divers emerged from the water, their faces etched with a weariness that mirrored Zavier's own.

Hours bled into twilight, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, the divers returned, their efforts in vain. A symphony of wasted labor played out beneath the stars, an opera of disappointment under the curtain of night.

Amidst this unfolding drama, Bawang reveled in silent jubilation. A creature of the sea, he reveled in the irony that the land-bound beings could not decipher the ocean's riddles. He lingered until darkness draped the world, his mirthful vigil a reminder of nature's enigma.

Two days later, the tides of change ushered in a new act. Zavier's crew reluctantly disengaged from their fruitless pursuit, leaving the abyss to its secrets once more. And as they retreated, Liu Yong's machinations ignited.

With orchestrated precision, Overlord—Bawang in a transformed state—reshaped the seabed, transporting heaps of metal fragments to a new location, a virgin ground primed for a new narrative.

A shallow sea emerged, an arena of potential, as Overlord's labor transformed it into a veritable alchemical workshop. The fragments, like fragments of destiny itself, found a new canvas upon which their significance could be unraveled.

Liu Yong's perspective spanned beyond the confines of the room, a master strategist orchestrating a symphony of change. "This locale holds promise," his voice, infused with foresight, murmured to himself. "A canvas for discovery, a stage for revelation."

The epic of innovation unfolded once more, as the saga of humanity's relentless march toward the horizon of knowledge gained momentum. In the convergence of science and perseverance, a new chapter unfurled—a chapter driven by curiosity, sculpted by discovery, and forever enshrined in the annals of progress.
