Chapter 33



The stubborn orca will absolutely refuse to admit it's fat! It just has fur—okay, it doesn't have fur, it's just healthy!

Everyone knows that in the animal kingdom, the stronger and more flamboyant the male, the more powerful he is. The fact that the whale Fugui was stuck on the door only shows that he is particularly powerful!

However, the people who built this warehouse and its gate were really inconsiderate. Couldn't they have built the gate a little bigger and wider?! Did they even consider how other people would feel?

While thinking this, Jing Fugui was still angrily swaying his body up and down and left and right, wishing he could roll on the spot.

While struggling, he couldn't help but curse the scumbag werewolf watching in his heart—why did this guy have to get involved? If he hadn't been watching, getting stuck here wouldn't have been a problem! He could have just turned back into human form!

But Xie Tianlang, who had no sense of propriety, not only watched the whole process of him getting stuck in the door, but now that he was stuck, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he tried his best to hold back his laughter and swam over.

Whale Fugui, stuck in the doorway with his head inside and tail outside, couldn't see Xie Langren's expression, but he felt that the guy was gloating.

Suddenly, Whale Fugui felt someone touch his tail. His body stiffened abruptly, and his round eyes turned dangerous.

But soon he felt a pair of strong hands with calloused fingertips move from his tail to his dorsal fin, and then those hands, using his dorsal fin as a point of leverage, began to push him forward forcefully.

This is clearly helping him break free from Carmen's state.

The fierce look in Whale Rich's eyes disappeared, replaced by a rather pleasant swishing of its tail.

While wagging his tail, he suddenly realized that he could also use his tail for leverage!

The dust that had just settled on the seabed was stirred up again by the large, fan-like tail that was swinging wildly up and down. The force of the huge waves almost made Xie Tianlang lose his balance.

Carmen's situation was like a difficult birth.

Three minutes later, Whale Fugui, who was so tired he felt like he was about to suffocate, thought to himself.

If it's over, then everyone's happy; if it's not...

Even if he can't get through, he won't die; he'll transform on the spot!

Thankfully, just as Whale Rich was about to burst from suffocating, he and Xie Tianlang exerted their strength simultaneously! The widest part of his chest finally passed, and once his chest was over, his tail and body would follow.

Finally freed from Carmen's state, Whale Rich was quite pleased. But he couldn't immediately go down to the underground warehouse to find the machine—he turned around and angrily performed a second leap of faith towards the alloy door that he had already smashed into and deformed!

After forcefully smashing open the two alloy doors, Whale Rich floated upwards with a mix of kingly revenge and triumphant escape—the carnage had been too forceful, and he was nearly suffocating.

Xie Tianlang, following behind him, couldn't help but exhale another bubble of laughter, but it quickly rose to the surface. He had indeed overexerted himself and was short of breath.

After Whale Fugui and Xie Tianlang emerged from the sea one after the other, Whale Fugui, who was breathing heavily and looking up at the sky, felt someone pat his back again.

Jing Fugui glanced at him, and considering that the guy had just offered to help, he decided not to slap him away.

But people's irritability is as unpredictable as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, just like what Xie Tianlang said now:

"Haha, Da Yuanyuan, what you just did reminded me of a world-famous song! Do you know what it is?"

The whale in Carmen: "..."

He felt a slight itch in his pectoral fins, which were his two wing-like appendages.

He thought this was the werewolf's limit, and he should be patient and not make a move, but:

"Luckily, Carmen said 'You' instead of the rich kid who came with me, otherwise it wouldn't be a world-famous song, but a congratulatory idiom!"

Do you know what that idiom is?

Whale Fugui squinted.

Xie Tianlang said with great seriousness and emotion, "May wealth and prosperity fill your home! Hahaha!"

Captain Xie tried to tell a joke to cheer up Da'ai, but what he got in return was a killer whale's paw that carried a heavy apology.

If the whale hadn't held back, Xie Langren would probably have been able to skip across the water a dozen or so times.

"Waaaaah!"

Wealth and prosperity my ass! Carmen my ass!

Do you believe your dad could slap you so hard it'll smash the door shut?!

If you can't speak properly, then shut up and say less. Haven't you heard that silence is golden?

Holding his breath and grumbling, Whale Rich re-submerged into the sea. He quickly returned to the underwater warehouse.

This time, the underground warehouse, whose door had been smashed open, finally welcomed him with open arms. Whale Fugui proudly swished his tail and two small pectoral fins before swimming directly underground.

Because this underground warehouse also stores super-large machines, and three-meter-tall large transport planes are used to transport goods on a daily basis, the entire space is quite spacious and enough for Whale Fugui to swim smoothly.

But once they reached the underground warehouse, their search for the machine stalled—

Needless to say, the underground warehouse was located underground and completely dark, and its overall volume was even larger than the factory where the pearl divers and the men from Sichuan and Tibet worked.

Needless to say, the number of machines here is also quite considerable.

so……

He tried so hard to transform himself, only to crash into a door. Would he ultimately end up like the pearl divers and the men of Sichuan and Tibet, searching one by one?

That'd take forever to find! Even if he transformed into a mantis shrimp, he'd still be completely lost here!

So the orca Fugui stopped moving at the entrance of the underground warehouse.

From a distance, it looks like a giant dead fish.

The sight startled Xie Tianlang, who had followed. Captain Xie quickly swam to the head of the orca Fugui, only feeling relieved after Fugui waved his pectoral fins at him in disdain.

However, he couldn't understand why the orca, which was suspected to be Fugui Yuanyuan and was obviously there to find the two machines in the warehouse, was lying there motionless.

Could it be because he's too fat... that he can't move freely under this warehouse?

But Xie Tianlang quickly dismissed his own guess and understood the real reason—

This place is too dark, too big, and has too many machines.

If finding that machine in the machine factory at the center of the research institute was a nightmare, then finding those two machines in this deeper, darker, and possibly more dangerous underground warehouse was probably a hellish challenge.

Even Xie, a veteran who has completed many hellish difficulty missions, is feeling a bit helpless right now.

There really is no shortcut; we can only... search one machine at a time.

Captain Xie wiped his face, resignedly turned on the high-intensity watch on his wrist, and began to examine the machines one by one from the entrance.

When he first started observing, he patted Whale Rich on the back, as if they were in the same boat, expressing their shared resignation to their fate.

But the wealthy father refused to accept his fate!

Reject ineffective and excessive labor; reject rampant involution!

Lazy people change the world!

After Xie Tianlang carefully observed the first row of machines and, as expected, came up empty-handed, was about to float to the surface to rest when the whale Fugui, who had been lying on the ground for a while, suddenly swung its tail and pectoral fins and rolled happily in the water.

Then, under Xie Tianlang's utterly bewildered gaze, Orca Fugui began to whine.

Xie Tianlang: ? ? ?

Not only did it make whimpering noises, Xie Tianlang heard more than a dozen strange sounds coming from the big, adorable black and white creature's mouth in just two minutes.

The sounds went from whimpering to creaking, from giggling to purring, and even ended with mocking "heh" and wolf-like howls... In short, it sounded like a chaotic hodgepodge.

For a moment, Xie Tianlang began to doubt his own guess: was the orca in front of him really the rich and noble fairy he believed to be in disguise?

After all, even fairies aren't this... well, crazy, right?

Filled with self-doubt, Xie Tianlang swam to the surface for air.

After he left, the whale Fugui, who could have held back for a while longer, suddenly shut his mouth, cleverly and skillfully flapped his two small pectoral fins, and made two soft whimpering sounds.

Simulated sound is just a smokescreen to drive away competitors!

The real killer move is ultrasound!

Orcas can use ultrasonic waves to locate schools of fish in the ocean, and they can also use these waves to determine the size and direction of the fish.

When it comes to He Jingfugui, the ultrasonic waves emitted can be used to sense and determine the size and location of the machines here.

It was as if he had drawn a picture in his mind through sound. When his sound waves returned, he "saw" the entire underground warehouse.

Then, he compared the photo and dimensions of the machine provided by the task manager in his mind and quickly located the group of machines in the southeast corner of the warehouse.

The dozen or so machines on display were roughly the same size and shape as those in the photo.

Having confirmed this, Whale Fugui turned and swam away without hesitation.

He encountered Xie Tianlang, who had dived back down, halfway through his swim.

To Xie Tianlang's somewhat surprised gaze, the plump and robust orca Panda gave him a final look of kingly disdain, then mercilessly stirred up a wave of water and left, wagging its tail and wagging its tail.

Xie Tianlang felt the water ripples on his face, his eyebrows lifted slightly, and he just left like that?

Could it be that this orca really isn't the monster he thought it was, and is just here in this underground warehouse playing around by banging on the door?

Xie Tianlang curled the corners of his mouth, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.

Perhaps once the orca leaves, he'll be able to see that handsome young man with long hair soon.

After all, humans and animals have never appeared together, have they?

As Xie Tianlang inspected the machines in the third row of the underground warehouse, another beam of light suddenly shone in the dark and cold underground warehouse.

Xie Tianlang immediately turned his head and, following the faint light, indeed saw the young man with long hair flowing freely in the water.

He still wasn't wearing any diving gear, not even the most basic waterproof goggles.

His swimming posture remained natural and relaxed, but Xie Tianlang noticed a subtle difference in it—

During his first dive, his swimming style was natural yet carried a sense of urgency, but this time the young man seemed more confident in the water.

Xie Tianlang, shielding the light from his watch, greeted the humanoid whale, Fugui.

Even the wealthy and beautiful whale reluctantly shone its light on him.

Then, just like the orca before him, he turned and headed towards the southeast corner without a second thought, leaving Xie Langren's eyelids twitching.

Seeing Gou Fugui head so decisively in one direction, Xie Tianlang's intuition told him that he had found the two machines.

Thinking this, Xie Tianlang slowed down his movements, but did not follow the person directly.

This credit cannot be stolen.

At this moment, Gou Fugui had arrived at the southeast corner of the warehouse, where there were about ten steel machines of roughly the same size.

Because the underwater underground warehouse was too dark and lacked any light, the whale beauty could only observe it one machine at a time.

He could still accept at least two out of ten observation tasks.

Meanwhile, the sea panda seemed to be particularly lucky. After carefully observing the third machine, Gou Fugui confirmed that it was the special material production machine that the first mission was looking for.

The fourth unit next to it is exactly the same in appearance and structure as the third. It is clearly also a mission target.

Thus, two of the three mission objectives, which were almost considered impossible to obtain, were found by the wealthy and beautiful woman.

One machine represents three survival balls.

Looking at the two machines, Gou Fugui was quite moved. Submersible, door-breaking ultrasonic waves… this task really is beyond human capabilities.

And to be honest, those who completed the task weren't even human.

He sighed briefly and then decided not to waste any more time. He stretched out his hands and grabbed one corner of the machine, intending to lift both machines up together, one in each hand.

However, even though the humanoid whale Fugui already had the added power of bloodline, the main added power was in combat. The whale beauty found that it was already a bit of a struggle to float upwards with both hands holding a machine, let alone trying to lift one machine in each hand.

Then, considering that he would have to drag the machine along when he finally boarded the ship, he realized that his strength alone probably wouldn't be enough.

All right.

It seems I won't be able to eat alone; people should always have a spirit of sharing.

Thinking this, the wealthy and beautiful woman turned towards Xie Tianlang. When she swam over, she saw that Xie Tianlang had stopped searching for the machine. When their eyes met, they each confirmed their own judgment.

The wealthy and beautiful woman tilted her head, pointed behind her, and walked away, with Xie Tianlang following behind her without the slightest hesitation.

When they reached the two machines, Gou Fugui pointed one finger at Xie Tianlang, then pointed it upwards. Xie Tianlang, however, held up two fingers.

The wealthy and beautiful woman raised her eyebrows high.

Xie Tianlang remained expressionless and firmly made a "two" gesture.

Finally, Gou Fugui rolled his eyes and nodded in the water, and Xie Tianlang smiled and reached out to scoop him up!

The massive machine, which was three meters tall and felt heavy even in the hands of the humanoid whale Fugui, seemed to pose no problem at all in the hands of this werewolf.

Humanoid whale Fugui: "..." I should have slapped this person a few more times when he was in his full killer whale form.

But for now, let's just get the machine up there and be a contented, lazy bum!

By this time, the sky above the sea had clearly darkened. Gou Fugui and his group arrived in Sichuan Province around 2:00 PM, rested on a temporary oil tanker, and arrived at the laboratory at around 3:30 PM.

In other words, the salvage machine started diving underwater at 3:30 p.m. and it is now 6 p.m.

"The wind and waves are getting bigger, and it's getting darker and colder. They've gone down more than ten times and held out for two hours each time. Shall we call it a day?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's cold and we're starving here. I saw that pearl diver was already pale when she went down. That's probably her limit for today. Let's go back and rest tonight and try again tomorrow!"

The people on the lifeboats had been waiting for over two hours and were starting to get impatient. After all, they had tried several times and were certain they couldn't complete the mission.

Unable to complete the task themselves, no one wanted to waste time waiting there. Moreover, none of the people on the lifeboat wanted to see the pearl diver or the Sichuan-Tibetan man actually retrieve the machine.

If you cannot benefit yourself, you will not feel happy about what others gain.

So the people on the lifeboat started asking the mission officer to sail back after the four of them got on.

Anyway, they won't be coming tomorrow. Those four who can dive without equipment can come if they want; they're going back to the Qingchuan Plateau to look for other jobs.

At this point, the task manager also felt that the time for today was about right. After all, even if he really wanted someone to complete the task, he wouldn't push the task-doers to the limit.

Moreover, the strength displayed by the four main forces on this mission far exceeded his expectations. The mission manager had never felt so strongly that he could complete the mission.

So he nodded: "It is indeed quite late, let's wait for them to come up this time and then go back."

The people on the boat were delighted to receive a positive reply, and about five or six minutes later, the pale-faced pearl divers and the flushed-faced men from Sichuan and Tibet showed themselves.

When they boarded the boat, they received special attention from the mission officer, and when questioned by him, both the pearl diver and the man from Sichuan and Tibet revealed confident smiles.

"We'll definitely find the machine tomorrow!"

"I think tomorrow should be fine."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and saw a fierce determination in each other's eyes.

At this point, only Fu Gui Mei Ren and Xie Tian Lang had not yet appeared.

Compared to the pearl diver and the Sichuan-Tibetan man, whose diving skills are still within everyone's acceptable range, Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang's breath-holding time is so long that it makes people envious.

The two of them were the ones more likely to complete the mission, but the people on the lifeboat seemed to have not seen them for a long time.

"Huh, am I remembering wrong? I feel like I haven't seen that tall, tough guy for almost an hour. Where is he? I hope he's alright?"

"That guy is so tall and strong, he could run away even if he encountered a great white shark. What I'm concerned about is that long-haired guy. I feel like I haven't seen him since he first surfaced and then dived back down!"

"It's been over two hours, hasn't it? What about the one with long hair? Have you seen her?"

"No, now that you mention it, it really does feel like it's been a long time since I've seen him. He's really good at holding his breath, but he looks so thin and frail. Could something have really happened to him?!"

Then, amidst the many worried voices, a slightly high-pitched voice rang out.

"So what if something happens? In this kind of weather and with this kind of task, he should be responsible for himself. Besides, that kid must have gotten cocky because he can hold his breath. People who get a little skill and then become arrogant are asking for trouble."

The people on the lifeboat who were talking reacted differently upon hearing the shrill words. The man from Sichuan and Tibet showed disapproval on his face: "You can't say that."

The skinny man raised his eyebrows high, his pointed face and monkey-like features making him seem about to jump up and start a fight: "Why can't I say what I'm saying? That kid was arrogant from the start, wasn't he! What I can't stand the most is this kind of guy who thinks he's all that just because he's got some skills!"

Let me tell you! Truly capable people work quietly and then achieve phenomenal success! I have no respect for his frivolous ways!

The skinny man got more and more excited as he spoke, and the more he talked, the more sarcastic he became: "That kid is either slacking off somewhere or something happened that prevented him from coming up!"

So stop waiting. Do you really think you can just wait here for that kid to come up with a mission machine?!

The skinny man laughed at himself by the end, and he spoke with absolute certainty:

"If he manages to come up here, with his equipment, I'll livestream myself doing a handstand while pooping!!"

Then, the instant the skinny man uttered his last words, everyone on the lifeboat saw two heads emerge from the sea.

Accompanied by the splashing water, the huge, heavy alloy machines that the two men were each dragging emitted a gleaming metallic sheen.

The mission officer stood up abruptly in disbelief, and everyone on the lifeboat widened their eyes and exclaimed "Holy crap!"

Of course, the one who found it hardest to accept, and even began to doubt his life, was the skinny man who had just made the vow. At this moment, he stared intently at the young man he had mentioned who was either slacking off or had died, and at the mission machine in his hand, as if he had really eaten shit.

As they surfaced, their exceptional hearing allowed them to catch the skinny man's boastful chatter. While having others attach a tether to the machine in his hand, the man, chin held high and eyes narrowed, launched into a barrage of insults:

"I think I heard someone say that you should poop upside down?"

"Come on, let's show it off! I really want to see it, sob sob!"

Xie Tianlang laughed instantly.

Whale Rich: "..." What the hell?

Everyone: ...? What was that last interjection?!

Skinny man: "..."

What are you whining about?! Are you deliberately mocking me?!
