Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Viral Video

TL: Etude

“Holy crap! Did Big B get eaten by a monster!?”

“If you court death, you will die! It wasn’t a fish; it was a real monster!”

“This is terrifying! Did you see that!? The monster’s mouth was full of countless sharp teeth!”

“……”

At this moment, TikTok was in an uproar.

Some people had recorded Big B’s live stream, especially the final scene before the stream cut off, showing a gaping bloody mouth!

Almost everyone believed that Big B had been eaten by a monster!

In no time, the entirety of TikTok was flooded with news about Big B being eaten by a monster at Longyin Reservoir, shooting straight to the top of the headlines!

“Another monster appeared at Longyin Reservoir?!”

Meanwhile, the government also took notice of the news.

“Didn’t something happen there before? Why wasn’t it sealed off!?”

A senior official questioned some staff members.

“Reporting, Director, previously, the HXLZ personnel investigated and didn’t find any trace of a monster.”

“So we didn’t continue to seal it off. After all, there are too many areas to seal…”

One of the staff members responded with a headache.

He hadn’t expected that Longyin Reservoir would have another incident!

And it seemed like an internet celebrity had been eaten by a monster!

This was truly a case of courting death leading to death!

“Get the police to check it out, evacuate all personnel, and temporarily seal off Longyin Reservoir! No one else can go there!” The director spoke up, also feeling a headache.

The current situation was completely unexpected.

Who could have thought that there would be another incident at Longyin Reservoir?

Moreover, they couldn’t spare the manpower to go there now!

After all, a more important tomb had appeared on that street!

“I wonder when the headquarters of HXLZ will send someone over.”

He sighed at this moment.

……

Devoured eel, gained 150 evolution points.

“Hehe, found another one!”

Lin Hao, who continued to swim forward, found another eel and devoured it directly.

He had now devoured a total of four eels!

Finding six more would meet the requirement and complete the task.

However, it was now challenging to find traces of eels; completing the requirement wouldn’t be easy.

“Forget it, I’ll devour those fish first.”

Devoured an adult silver carp, gained 100 evolution points.

Devoured an adult bighead carp, gained 100 evolution points.

Devoured…

……

There were quite a few bighead and silver carps, and Lin Hao could easily swallow one in a single gulp.

Refreshing!

Watching the evolution points increase visibly, Lin Hao felt a sense of satisfaction.

“Hmm, seems like there’s nothing left here, time to move on.”

Checking the system tasks, the remaining ones could be completed by devouring tilapia and black-shelled shrimp.

“As for black-shelled shrimp… there seem to be quite a few in Hanshui River.”

“Teleport there first, then look for tilapia.”

Lin Hao thought for a moment and made a decision.

After all, he had devoured almost all the fish here, and there weren’t any left to find, so it was a waste of time to stay here.

With a single thought, he brought up the system’s map panel and selected the area around Hanshui River.

Accompanied by bursts of white light emanating from his body, he was teleported to another area in the next moment.

“Monster… I just saw a monster…”

Meanwhile, a few police officers and government officials had already arrived at the scene.

Upon arriving, they saw Big B sitting on the ground, trembling all over.

“You’re that internet celebrity Big B? I thought you were eaten.”

One of the men, seeing him alive, breathed a sigh of relief.

If this guy had died here, it would have been quite troublesome.

“Take him to the hospital first. It seems he’s been severely frightened.”

Noticing his incoherent speech and pale face, one of the government officials spoke up.

“Yes, sir!”

Soon, two government workers escorted Big B away.

“Let’s go check if there are any signs of that monster.”

The young government man said to the other police officers.

“Alright.”

They exchanged glances, though they nodded, they were also nervous.

They had watched the viral video on TikTok.

Since it was a live stream, it must be real.

If such a monster really existed…

The thought made their scalps tingle.

They held their guns, bullets loaded, and cautiously moved forward.

However, as they walked around, they didn’t find any trace of a monster beneath the reservoir.

It seemed there wasn’t any monster at all!

……

“Phew, I’m here again. The teleportation works perfectly.”

Lin Hao had already teleported to Hanshui River!

He glanced at the system’s map panel, which showed a one-hour cooldown time notice.

Each teleport required a one-hour cooldown.

He could stay outside for only three hours in total, and he had already spent about an hour at Longyin Reservoir.

“Once the cooldown ends, I can teleport again. Next time, I’ll teleport directly to the river channel in Longyin City.”

Lin Hao muttered to himself.

Swimming around Hanshui River, he soon found some grass carp and crucian carp.

“Haven’t been here for a few days, and the fish seem to have increased.”

Devoured an adult grass carp, gained 105 evolution points.

Devoured an adult crucian carp, gained 100 evolution points.

……

Although there were many fish here, Lin Hao’s devouring speed was too fast.

In a short time, he devoured all the fish around him.

“I remember there used to be a lot of black-shelled shrimp around here.”

He continued swimming forward and soon found a large number of black-shelled shrimp near the shore.

“Found them!” Lin Hao’s eyes lit up.

Compared to his current size, these black-shelled shrimp were extremely tiny.

With one gulp, he devoured countless black-shelled shrimp.

Devoured an adult black-shelled shrimp, gained 1 evolution point.

Devoured an adult black-shelled shrimp, gained 1 evolution point.

Devoured…

……

The system notifications appeared on the screen in rapid succession.

Even though each black-shelled shrimp only gave one evolution point, Lin Hao didn’t care and continued to devour them all.

He needed five hundred black-shelled shrimp to complete the task!

Normal task: Devour five hundred black-shelled shrimp. 488/500 (Reward: Enhanced Speed)

After devouring all the black-shelled shrimp around him, Lin Hao checked the system task prompt and found he was still twelve short!

“Just a bit more, there should be some here.”

“This task will be completed soon!”
