Chapter 288: The Mutant Sea Monster

All the actresses were intently watching the surface of the sea, seemingly quite eager to fish up the "little cutie" Qi Yuan mentioned.

Seeing that Qi Yuan seemed genuinely interested in that creature, Kuang Huan ordered all his men to start fishing.

"Whoever catches it, I'll give them a little gift," Qi Yuan said lazily.

At that moment, all the actresses and Kuang Huan's subordinates became tense.

A little gift from someone as significant as Mr. Qi would undoubtedly be of considerable value.

It might even be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of Qin Yuan currency.

They placed their hands on their fishing rods, staring at the sea, filled with anticipation.

Kuang Huan was also fishing. He lowered his voice and asked, "This little... cutie, is it related to cultivation?"

After all, anything that could attract Qi Yuan's attention should have something to do with the legendary cultivation.

"No," Qi Yuan shook his head. "It should be related to martial arts."

"Martial arts?" Kuang Huan was stunned.

As an aristocrat of Qin Yuan, Kuang Huan was naturally familiar with martial arts.

He had once been interested and practiced some martial arts himself but found martial arts to be quite weak.

It wasn't even as practical as what a random combat instructor from the military could teach, let alone the effects of genetic serums.

"Aren't martial arts rather weak?" Kuang Huan couldn't help but say.

Kuang Huan had seen the strongest martial artist, the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament.

They were somewhat skilled, but that was about it.

"There are no weak paths in the world, only weak people," Qi Yuan said lazily.

Kuang Huan heard this but still didn't understand. "Aren't you a cultivator, sir?"

"I mainly practice cultivation, but here... I want to see martial arts. I'm a man who wants to become the Martial God of All Paths."

Becoming the Martial God of All Paths was Qi Yuan's mission in coming to this world.

Before becoming the Martial God of All Paths, he had to become the Human Martial Lord and the Spirit Martial Lord.

The Human Martial Lord was relatively straightforward, but as for becoming the Spirit Martial Lord, Qi Yuan had no clues yet.

"By the way, if you could, help me look up information about the Martial Lord of All Paths," Qi Yuan said.

"Sure," Kuang Huan quickly agreed.

Serving Qi Yuan seemed like a joyous task.

"Yes, the cultivation technique I sold you is currently just an incomplete version, but it's enough for you to practice for a few years.

When my wife arrives, I'll give you the rest of the technique," Qi Yuan said.

The "Super Invincible Somewhat Explosive Technique" was currently only at the Qi Refinement stage, and it wasn't even complete.

This was because Qi Yuan was still under a curse and couldn't overthink. When his strength increased, he could perfect the remaining techniques.

Kuang Huan, hearing this, had many thoughts flash through his mind.

However, he thought that if this truly were a cultivation technique, how could one billion buy a complete version?

Most importantly, was the money just for the technique? It was also to establish a connection with Qi Yuan.

"No problem," Kuang Huan quickly said.

Of course, if he knew Qi Yuan's true strength, he would think that even spending one billion on an incomplete technique, or even ten billion or a hundred billion, would be a great deal.

After all, it was a technique created by Qi Yuan himself.

The value was self-evident.

Many thoughts flashed through Kuang Huan's mind.

At this moment, Qi Yuan said, "Since we're just idling here, bring me some materials; I'll process them. Hmm, gold, water, wood..."

Fishing wasn't something he could do all the time.

As for cultivation, due to the curse, it was also progressing slowly.

Might as well bring some materials and refine them into some medicinal liquids to enhance his strength.

Moreover, he was also thinking of using other methods to lure the little cutie from the sea.

"Okay!" Kuang Huan felt excited, thinking he was finally about to witness Qi Yuan's skills.

Soon, he and some of his subordinates brought a bunch of materials over.

The actresses present all looked puzzled, not knowing what was about to happen.

"Get me a blender, a high-temperature pot, and..." Qi Yuan said to Kuang Huan, who looked expectant.

Kuang Huan was taken aback but still ordered his subordinates to fetch the items.

At this moment, his heart was filled with confusion. What were they going to do with these?

Qi Yuan simply patted his hands and said, "If you can take it easy, why not?"

Soon, a blender and other equipment were brought over. Qi Yuan took the plants one by one and put them into the blender.

The sound of the machine starting echoed.

Everyone present watched curiously as the plants were ground to pieces.

Of course, some people still kept an eye on the sea, hoping to fish up the little cutie.

"Alright, it's done."

Qi Yuan picked up a glass and poured a bunch of dark blue medicinal liquid into it.

He drank the liquid in one gulp, and the cultivation technique started running wildly.

His cultivation also increased continuously at that moment.

"Do you want a drink too? But, you need to practice with the 'Super Invincible Somewhat Explosive Technique'." Qi Yuan poured a glass for Kuang Huan.

The spiritual energy on Gongxing wasn't much.

It was much less than in Canglan Realm.

So, these medicinal liquids were needed to assist in cultivation for better results.

Of course, Qi Yuan also vaguely sensed that the spiritual energy on Gongxing seemed to be growing slowly.

But the growth rate was too slow.

Kuang Huan was delighted and said, "Okay."

He immediately recalled the cultivation technique Qi Yuan had sold him and tried to run it according to the method described in his mind.

However, for some reason, when he tried to run it, he felt as if his body was out of control. The energy couldn't flow; it seemed blocked.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's finger tapped on Kuang Huan's body.

"Continue."

Kuang Huan suddenly felt enlightened, and the energy flowing inside his body started moving rapidly.

"Drink."

Qi Yuan's voice came again. Kuang Huan quickly gulped down the glass of green liquid.

A strange sense of pleasure flooded over him, making him feel like he was floating on air, a sensation ten or even a hundred times more intense than sexual climax.

Kuang Huan suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face filled with shock and delight. "Immortal technique! This must be an immortal technique!"

This feeling was addictive.

It even made Kuang Huan wonder if he had taken some hallucinogenic drug.

However, the raw materials for these liquids were just some ordinary plants, with no illegal substances.

"Your aptitude is too poor. It will probably take one or two months to get started," Qi Yuan casually commented.

After all, if he wasn't practicing a technique Qi Yuan had created himself, Kuang Huan might have taken ten years to get started, even if he had a cultivation technique.

His achievements in this lifetime would be limited to the early stages of Qi Refinement.

Kuang Huan was relieved upon hearing this.

He could wait one or two months.

At this moment, Qi Yuan picked up another glass of medicinal liquid. His finger lightly tapped the glass.

Suddenly, a burst of red light emanated from the glass.

Wu Qi, who was standing nearby, was stunned to see this. "Is this... magic?"

The other actresses were also quite surprised.

After all, this was just a glass of freshly made drink, and it suddenly emitted red light.

It was not scientifically possible.

Qi Yuan chuckled. "Just added some bait to see if it can attract my little cutie."

As he spoke, he tossed the glass onto the surface of the sea.

Boom.

The glass suddenly exploded mid-air.

The red liquid scattered like raindrops.

This scene stunned everyone watching.

An actress covered her mouth and couldn't help but ask, "Has Mr. Qi taken genetic serums?"

Genetic serums were very expensive, and there were different levels of them.

To achieve the effect Qi Yuan just demonstrated, it would definitely require a high-level genetic serum, which was not easily obtainable, even for those with money.

Considering that a hereditary viscount like Kuang Huan highly respected Qi Yuan, it was natural for Qi Yuan to have access to high-level genetic serums.

Some actresses with money and status could afford to buy genetic serums themselves.

However, some genetic serums inherently conflicted with beauty-enhancing drugs, and they could affect the softness of their bodies, so few women chose to use genetic serums.

Low-level genetic serums might even damage their physical aesthetics.

So, few actresses would choose genetic serums.

On the other hand, some male action stars used genetic serums to enhance their performance.

"No," Qi Yuan shook his head. "Keep an eye out; my little cutie might be coming up soon."

Everyone else hurriedly resumed their fishing.

Time passed by, and Qi Yuan continued to drink the medicinal liquids.

His cultivation level continued to increase.

Soon, he reached the middle stage of Qi Refinement.

Of course, this was not much for him.

With more resources, he could quickly reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

These things weren't important. For Qi Yuan, becoming the Martial God of All Paths was his goal in this Gongxing game. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As the liquid scattered into the sea, more creatures appeared on the previously calm surface.

Many fish swam toward this area.

More and more people started catching fish, and many of them were valuable.

But those who caught fish regretted it because none of them caught the "little cutie" Qi Yuan wanted.

Suddenly, a burly man in a suit shouted, "It's a big one! I can't reel it in."

The man's face was flushed, and his posture was unstable.

Seeing this, two or three more mercenaries stepped forward to help the man reel in the fish.

The surrounding actresses looked excited.

"Could it be a shark?" one of them asked.

At this moment, the man's face turned anxious. "Not good, the fishing rod is going to break!"

The creature in the depths of the sea was too strong. Even with three or four mercenaries helping, they couldn't reel it in, and the fishing rod was about to snap.

It should be noted that this rod and line were made from special alloy, capable of easily catching sea fish weighing hundreds of pounds.

The fact that this was happening indicated that the creature in the sea was quite extraordinary.

"I’ll do it," Qi Yuan said, standing up. He grabbed the fishing rod.

The rod, which had been bending, suddenly straightened.

Qi Yuan stared at the sea, seemingly able to see through the water.

His eyes glinted with a smile.

"It’s actually... my little cutie."

With a flick of his wrist, the rod steadied immediately.

In an instant, the fishing line on the other end pulled back.

A shadow was suddenly thrown into the guest hall.

Everyone's eyes focused on the fish.

"So... ugly!"

An actress covered her mouth, instinctively showing a look of disgust.

Wu Qi's long legs came together as she was almost scared to fall, squatting with her body, her dress tightly wrapped around her hips like a full moon, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally leaning toward Qi Yuan.

"What is that?"

Everyone looked at the strange black shadow, their eyes filled with surprise.

The shadow had a head like a chicken, but a featherless one.

A blood-red fleshy lump protruded from its forehead, giving it a hideous look.

Meanwhile, its lower body was a mass of black, jelly-like substance, sticky and slimy, looking quite odd.

It didn't resemble any normal creature on Gongxing.

"Is this... a sea monster?" Kuang Huan, well-informed, recognized the creature at once.

"A sea monster?"

"It’s actually a sea monster!"

The actresses present all showed surprise.

Some of them looked disgusted, even nauseous, as they had drunk sea monster soup before but never seen the actual sea monsters themselves.

"My little cutie is a sea monster?" Qi Yuan stared at the hideous sea monster, his eyes gleaming.

For some reason, seeing the sea monster made him swallow his saliva, feeling an urge to swallow it whole.

"No, this isn’t just any sea monster. This is a mutant sea monster!" Kuang Huan exclaimed in astonishment.

The sea monster was small, less than the size of a football.

Generally, sea monsters followed the basic rule of size.

Four or five mercenaries together couldn't pull this sea monster up, which meant it was extraordinary and didn't follow the basic rule.

So, it was a mutant sea monster.

Sea monsters were valuable, but mutant sea monsters were even more precious.

This football-sized sea monster could easily be worth millions.

"A mutant sea monster?"

Qi Yuan crouched down, reaching out to touch the sea monster.

Kuang Huan tensed up and warned, "Be careful, mutant sea monsters are dangerous!"

Mutant sea monsters represented the unknown and danger.

Their flesh might even contain some kind of radiation, and touching them without protection could be fatal.

"Don't worry, it's not just any mutant sea monster. It's my little cutie.

Maybe... it will even become my white moonlight."

Qi Yuan smiled softly as he spoke.

His hand touched the slimy skin of the mutant sea monster.

The once ferocious and fierce sea monster shivered as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Seeing this, Kuang Huan was stunned.

He had seen mutant sea monsters before and knew their temperament.

They were violent and chaotic creatures.

In their minds, there was no concept of fear.

But now, it was trembling like a scared pet.

Wu Qi, standing nearby, suppressed her disgust and approached. "Mr. Qi is so kind-hearted, treating such... uniquely featured sea monsters so gently."

She was trying to flatter Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan said this mutant sea monster might even be his white moonlight.

Wasn't it normal for powerful people to have some unusual hobbies?

"At first glance, this sea monster looks a bit strange, but the more I look at it, the cuter it gets. The little guy has quite a... unique charm."

Wu Qi lied through her teeth, trying to get closer to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but glance at Wu Qi, looking at her long, rounded legs in silk stockings.

He decided that when Ning Tao came down, he would have her wear something similar; it would definitely be quite charming.

"Let's fry it," Qi Yuan said.

Fry the little cutie?

Wu Qi was momentarily stunned.

Didn't he just call it his white moonlight?

Kuang Huan heard this and immediately gave the order: "Fry this mutant sea monster!"

Then, Qi Yuan looked at the mercenary who caught the mutant sea monster.

The mercenary's face immediately showed an irrepressible expression of joy.

"I'll reward you with a... piece of paper."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he pulled out a napkin from his pocket.

He took a twig, dipped it in medicinal liquid, and then began drawing something on the napkin.

Within moments, a napkin with a ghostly symbol drawn on it fell into the mercenary's hands.

"It can save your life," Qi Yuan said calmly.

The symbol he drew was a defensive talisman.

Even if a bomb exploded on him, it could save his life.

"Aren't you going to thank Mr. Qi?" Kuang Huan quickly said.

The mercenary didn't quite understand but quickly put the napkin away and thanked him.

He thought it might be a work of art created by a big man and might be worth tens of thousands.

Thinking about its value, he felt quite happy.

The other actresses also looked envious, especially Wu Qi.
