Where did Li Zhen go? Of course, he returned to Earth.
Inside the room.
Li Zhen lay on the bed without opening his eyes. In his consciousness, he looked at his Attribute Panel.
【Li Zhen】
【Level: Level 3 Life Protector】
【Origin Point: 1】
He had earned another Origin Point.
Li Zhen felt a deep sense of achievement.
This Mission had actually been without any difficulty. It felt just like playing a game; before he had even had the chance to enjoy it properly, the game had already ended.
Over the next few days.
Besides practicing flight as usual, Li Zhen also underwent Diving training.
He was preparing for possible future combat at sea, taking precautions in advance.
As expected, Level 3 Steel Body was already a non-Human state.
He discovered that he could actually hold his breath underwater for an hour. This had completely broken the Human record. As far as he knew, even the Guinness World Record holder could only hold their breath underwater for a little over twenty minutes.
Being able to hold his breath underwater for an hour gave him enough Time to move freely beneath the water.
Five hundred meters beneath the Deep Sea.
At this moment, Li Zhen wore only a pair of swimming trunks as he swam here.
His speed was extremely fast. Even though the seawater created Huge resistance, his speed Still resembled an artillery shell that had been fired, astonishingly swift.
However, the water pressure in the Deep Sea was simply too great. Even when he exerted all his strength, his speed was only around 70 meters per second.
To break through the sound barrier in the Deep Sea was extremely difficult. At least with his current strength, he could not do it.
At a speed of 70 meters per second, no fish in the Deep Sea could compare with him. Because he was moving so fast, a white wake formed behind him.
Here, Li Zhen saw several Blue Whales. It seemed like this was their habitat.
His movements were simply too great, frightening all the Blue Whales into fleeing.
“They’re so Huge, yet so timid.”
Li Zhen chuckled and ignored them, continuing to Dive deeper.
As he descended, he soon reached 900 meters beneath the seabed.
Here, he discovered a group of narwhals. Their spiral-shaped tusks, over two meters long, made them look like the legendary Unicorn.
Curious, Li Zhen swam toward them, wanting to observe them from close proximity. Pity, this group of narwhals, just like the Blue Whales above, quickly avoided Li Zhen when they saw the Unfamiliar, unwelcome visitor approaching.
They all seemed to know that he was not someone to provoke.
Li Zhen did not force an interaction with them and continued to Dive deeper.
985 meters beneath the seabed.
Here, Li Zhen encountered many Bluefin Tuna.
These Bluefin Tuna were quite bold. They darted rapidly back and forth around him. Their speed was astonishing, and whenever Li Zhen Reached Out, they scattered.
He paid them no attention and continued to Dive deeper.
1,000 meters beneath the seabed.
At this depth, the Surroundings were pitch-black, so dark that he could not see his own hand. Many creatures living here had evolved lighting organs. From a distance, they flickered like stars in the night sky.
It was utterly silent here.
If not for the powerful water pressure and the faint chill surrounding his body, Li Zhen might really have thought he was in the starry sky Outside.
“I haven’t reached my limit yet.” Li Zhen felt that this was Still not the limit of his Physical Body.
He could continue downward.
1,219 meters beneath the seabed.
Here, Li Zhen discovered an extremely ugly shark. He had seen it before on a television program about Human beings and nature. It seemed to be called a frilled shark. Even he had been startled when he first discovered it.
It was truly ugly.
1,500 meters beneath the seabed.
He saw a red sea fish called a thornyhead, also known as the longevity fish served at banquets.
The red thornyheads swam freely back and forth here, looking extremely comfortable.
1,600 meters beneath the seabed.
This was the habitat of the glass squid. Why was it called the glass squid? Because, Except for its digestive organs, everything else was transparent.
“Interesting.” After observing it from close proximity for a while, Li Zhen continued to Dive deeper.
1,800 meters beneath the seabed.
At this depth, he saw a Sperm Whale feeding on a Giant Squid.
Good heavens, the Sperm Whale was simply enormous. Judging by eye, Li Zhen estimated that it was at least 18 meters long and weighed around 50 tons.
However, the Giant Squid caught in its jaws was not small either. Judging by eye, it was also about six meters long. The Giant Squid was slow, with a large body, making it one of the Sperm Whale’s most ideal prey.
The scene from the movies in which a Sperm Whale was killed by a Giant Squid did not Appear. Presumably, this Giant Squid was still too small. Li Zhen had once read reports that large Giant Squid could reach 20 meters in length.
He had heard that a viscous, dark substance could form in a Sperm Whale’s small intestine. Once excreted, it became ambergris, worth 1,500 yuan per gram.
After witnessing the Sperm Whale swallow the Giant Squid, Li Zhen did not linger. He felt that this depth was Still not the limit of his current body.
He continued to Dive deeper.
1,900 meters.
2,000 meters.
3,000 meters.
4,000 meters.
5,000 meters.
Upon reaching this depth, he instantly felt powerful water pressure crushing his body. This pressure was many times stronger than above.
It was like dragging several tons of weight while moving.
It seemed this was a dividing line.
However, the pressure on his body soon began to subside.
Having descended so deeply, he discovered that his body’s adaptability was extremely Powerful. He had felt somewhat uncomfortable moments ago, but after a minute, that feeling of maladjustment Disappeared.
It seemed that his body could also adjust according to changes in the Environment.
“I’ll come down and take a look below once I break through to Level four Steel Body.”
Although he felt that his body was still within its tolerable range, breathing here suddenly consumed far more energy, so he did not dare advance recklessly.
Li Zhen began swimming upward.
Calling it swimming was not entirely accurate. It should be called flying—flying through the water.
His extremely fast speed formed a white wave.
The huge pressure forced the water apart on both sides.
It was like a Huge beast breaking through the Deep Sea.
The commotion was enormous, frightening the fish living here and sending them fleeing from the area.
Li Zhen returned to a depth of more than 900 meters beneath the seabed, where he once again saw Bluefin Tuna.
The Bluefin Tuna swam up curiously again.
Li Zhen picked out a Bluefin Tuna over a meter long and struck instantly. His palm pierced through its head. Its entire body shuddered, and it immediately went still.
Thin strands of Blood drifted through the sea.
The other Bluefin Tuna had already fled in terror.
Holding the Bluefin Tuna, Li Zhen rapidly rose toward the surface.
Before long, he reached the surface.
He stood on the surface of the sea, holding a Bluefin Tuna weighing over a hundred pounds.
Bluefin Tuna generally sell for 40 to 60 yuan per pound, and that is the factory price. Those weighing over 100 pounds cost somewhat more, with the total price ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 yuan.
In other words, if Li Zhen were willing, he could completely make repeated trips to the Deep Sea and continuously catch Bluefin Tuna. Earning tens of thousands of yuan a day would be no problem.
“It hasn’t come to that.” Li Zhen looked at the Bluefin Tuna in hand and could not help shaking his head with a smile.
He was not so poor that he needed to do this.
He just felt that using his current strength to become a fisherman would be far too degrading.
It was of course impossible for one person to eat such a Huge Bluefin Tuna after bringing it home. His family also included his mother and elder brother, but even the three of them could not finish it.
At home.
“Where did you get such a Huge fish?”
Li Zhen’s mother, Wu Xuecai, was extremely surprised as she gazed at the Bluefin Tuna, which was nearly as long as a person.
It was the first Time she had ever seen such a Huge fish, and her face was filled with both delight and excitement.
“It seems like it’s called Bluefin Tuna.” Li Zhen’s elder brother, Li Wu, immediately named the fish.
It was also his first Time seeing such a Huge Bluefin Tuna, and he examined it curiously from every angle.
“That’s right, it’s called Bluefin Tuna. My Boss gave it to me,” Li Zhen replied.
Of course, he concealed the truth. If he told them that he had personally gone hundreds of meters into the Deep Sea to catch it, he was afraid no one would believe him. Then he continued, “Mom, this fish is too Huge for us to finish. Cut it up and give some to our Relatives and the neighbors around us.”
“All right.” Li Zhen’s mother had no objections.
“Come and see! My son brought back such a Huge fish!” Li Zhen’s mother went around the village showing off.
The neighbors came to his home and clicked their tongues in amazement when they saw such a Huge Bluefin Tuna.
Those who saw it would get a share.
Thus, aside from the portion Li Zhen’s family kept, the rest of the Bluefin Tuna, weighing over a hundred pounds, was all given away.
Many people in the village had never seen this kind of fish, let alone eaten it.
“It can also be eaten raw.” Li Zhen’s mother, Wu Xuecai, said this every Time she gave some away.
Hearing that it could also be eaten raw further aroused the neighbors’ curiosity.
“I’ve seen it on television. It seems like it tastes better raw, even better than when cooked.” Some well-informed neighbors expressed their opinions one after another.
At home.
Li Zhen dipped the Bluefin Tuna he had caught himself in sauce and tasted it.
It was also his first Time eating Bluefin Tuna.
Savoring the taste in his mouth.
He felt that Bluefin Tuna had a rather delicate texture, a mild Blood flavor, sweet flesh, and a refreshingly light taste.
It also carried a faint sourness that was almost negligible.
“The taste is quite good.” He was glad he had brought one back.
“I’ll catch another after we finish this.” Li Zhen made up his mind.
Don’t make things difficult for your fellow travelers; throw your votes my way.
