Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Tilapia Killer

TL: Etude

Lin Hao pondered for a moment and then chose the river within Longyin City.

Teleport!

As before, he was enveloped in a faint white glow.

His body vanished from the original spot.

The next second, he appeared directly in a river within Longyin City.

“This water is really dirty.”

Lin Hao glanced around; the water was very turbid and seemed a bit foul-smelling.

Looking towards the upper area, he found himself near the marketplace of Longyin City.

He could see many houses and people coming and going around him.

Watching this scene, he paused for a moment.

He thought about his life as a human and realized he had died, and now he had become like this.

“Perhaps by continuously evolving, I can become human again one day.”

Lin Hao thought to himself, his resolve growing stronger.

He continued to swim forward and soon discovered a large number of fish.

“There really are so many tilapias!”

Seeing the tilapias densely packed in the river, the sheer number of them would make anyone with trypophobia feel their scalp tingle!

Lin Hao was pleasantly surprised.

He never expected there to be so many tilapias!

Devour!

Without any hesitation, he rushed forward, opened his mouth, and started devouring them frantically!

Now his teeth were terrifyingly sharp, capable of biting an adult tilapia in half with one bite!

Bite!

He bit and tore madly!

Devouring adult tilapia, gained 50 Evolution Points.

Devouring juvenile tilapia, gained 20 Evolution Points.

Devouring…

…

The system notifications kept coming.

Devouring one adult tilapia only yielded about forty to fifty evolution points, but there were so many of them!

Ten would be around four hundred points, a hundred would be about four thousand!

There were definitely more than a hundred tilapias in this river!

He ignored everything else and just kept devouring; his stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.

In a short time, he had devoured countless tilapias.

There were especially many juvenile tilapias.

Given Lin Hao’s current size, he could swallow a dozen with one mouthful!

The river in the city had quite a bit of garbage, and some people even threw their leftover food directly into it.

This caused the tilapias to reproduce faster, almost to the point of overpopulation.

“Congratulations, Host, on achieving the title of Tilapia Killer (My goodness, you’ve hunted over a thousand tilapias!)”

“Congratulations, Host, on receiving the achievement reward: Blue Treasure Chest.”

After who knows how long of devouring, the system notifications continued.

“Huh!?”

“Another achievement unlocked!”

After devouring countless tilapias, Lin Hao clearly heard the system prompt.

“Unexpectedly, from the past until now, I’ve devoured over a thousand tilapias.”

“I’ll get the treasure chest when I go back; for now, I’ll keep devouring!”

Although he had three hours of teleportation time, for Lin Hao, this time was far from enough!

Without thinking much, he continued swimming forward. Whenever he spotted a tilapia, he immediately devoured it!

In a short time, the entire river was devoid of tilapia.

“Huh?”

“Where have all the tilapia gone?”

“Really, they used to be everywhere, so disgusting to look at.”

“……”

Many people who often passed by this area noticed that the tilapia in the river seemed to have disappeared!

Previously, the tilapia were so overpopulated that just looking at them made people feel uneasy. But today, not a single tilapia was seen surfacing, which genuinely piqued people’s curiosity.

At this moment, Lin Hao didn’t care about what others thought. He swam through the river, continuing forward.

In areas where water flowed in from sewers, he saw many tilapias crowding around the sewer outlets.

They appeared to be competing to drink the sewage.

Seeing this, Lin Hao felt a bit disgusted.

“I hope some unscrupulous merchants aren’t catching tilapia here to sell them as farmed fish.”

As he thought this, he rushed forward, opened his mouth like a ravenous tiger, and devoured all the tilapia instantly!

Continue!

He wanted to sweep the river clean of all tilapia!

…

Time passed quickly. As the three-hour countdown ended, Lin Hao’s body emitted a faint white glow, and he disappeared from the river.

“Phew.”

“Three hours went by so fast.”

Returning to the familiar Hualong Pond, Lin Hao immediately checked his system panel.

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Single-Horned Fire Carp

Level: 18

Body Length: 4.4 meters

Weight: 666 jin

Combat Power: 66

Skills: Super Charge, Night Battle, Camouflage, Fire Scale, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales

Evolution Points: 17,654/10,000

“About seventeen thousand evolution points gained.”

“Not bad at all.”

Looking at the evolution points at the bottom of the system panel, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up.

This time, he had devoured hundreds of tilapia. However, many were small, so the evolution points he gained weren’t overwhelmingly high.

“But I can level up again.”

“Almost at level twenty!”

Thinking about this, he felt a sense of anticipation.

Reaching level twenty would definitely bring significant changes.

And he would receive a new treasure chest!

At least a blue treasure chest!

“Huh?”

“Another task completed?”

Lin Hao noticed a golden icon in the upper left corner of the system panel.

As he clicked it with his mind, a task window popped up.

Normal Task: Devour 300 Tilapia (300/300) – Reward: Enhanced Scale Toughness

“This must have been the task from last night.”

“Enhanced scale toughness is not bad.”

Without hesitation, Lin Hao chose to claim the reward.

In an instant, his body shimmered with a faint golden light.

His black iron scales gained a slight golden tint.

“Is that it?”

Shaking his body, he didn’t feel much of a change.

And it was hard to see his body’s full appearance with his own eyes.

“Time to level up.”

“Leveling up to nineteen now, and at twenty, who knows if I might evolve limbs!”
