CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 205: LIQUID METAL, LIGHT ENERGY CONVERTER (5000 WORDS, VARIOUS REQUESTS)

Finally, after being beaten to death by a dozen Brother Monkeys for half an hour, the giant took its last breath.

"Ding! You have slain an Unbreakable Realm One-star human and gained 10,000 Synthesis Points and Gigantification Cell x1."

Qin Shou frowned. An Unbreakable Realm powerhouse is equivalent to a Nightmare-level Monster, yet slaying it only yields 10,000 Synthesis Points.

Previously, synthesizing Brother Monkey into a Nightmare-level cost him 100,000 Synthesis Points.

Fine, it’s always been like this—he’s used to it.

Feels like there’s always a middleman taking their cut.

Retrieving the giant’s corpse, Qin Shou turned to the retreating Sea Beast Tide.

Ever since that Female Merfolk Beast Master got kicked to death by Big Black Face, the sea beasts began showing signs of retreat.

Coupled with the control influence of Zhi Yin’s singing, more and more sea beasts were leaving the island, abandoning countless corpses, and returning to the ocean.

Meanwhile, the Monkey Avatar quietly shifted into human form, avoiding the crowd as it collected sea beast corpses around the island.

On the other side, Yu Shusheng and his two companions looked visibly relieved.

"Principal, in this Dragon Island battle, did Zeus Group secure the development rights to Dragon Island?"

At that moment, Qin Shou approached and asked.

Yu Shusheng’s relieved smile froze, "What do you want? I’m warning you, even if you can now rival an Unbreakable Realm powerhouse and have Beast Cultivation Main City backing you, Zeus Group is not as simple as you think. Don’t even consider..."

Qin Shou raised his hand to interrupt, "Alright, alright. I’ll just go home, okay?"

Hearing Qin Shou’s response, Yu Shusheng finally sighed in relief.

"Yes, you’re still young. A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. Given your talent, it won’t take ten years for you to make a name for yourself in Beast Cultivation Main City... Hey! You brat! Leaving without saying a word—so rude!"

Watching Qin Shou’s vanishing figure as it shot into the sky, Yu Shusheng chuckled and cursed.

Just as he was about to turn around to direct the Guard Team to clean up, his body suddenly froze.

"Not good! The Transmission Array is over here—where’s that brat heading?!"

...

Above the ocean.

Qin Shou rode the greedy snake, whooshing through the skies above the sea as fierce winds surged, sending waves spraying everywhere.

Raising the communicator, he tapped the virtual interface, a glint of cold light flickering in his eyes.

"Coming uninvited is impolite—I want your Earth Core Energy Crystal just as much as you want Little Vajra and my Battle Armor."

He speculated that the three Unbreakable Realm Beast God Masters acted on their own initiative—lured by the Titan Giant Beast—using the Sea Beast Tide to force him out.

At first, they likely didn’t intend to silence him, but instead planned to use the Merfolk disguise to steal King Kong and shift the blame onto the Merfolk race.

Yet—after Zhi Yin uncovered their identities—they decided to cross the line and kill him.

Unbreakable Realm One-star strength probably doesn’t rank too high in Zeus Group. Even if Beast Cultivation Main City takes this matter up, with the culprits dead, Qin Shou likely wouldn’t gain much compensation anyway.

So, seeing no point in staying quiet, Qin Shou decided to fight back.

Believing that taking a loss is a blessing? Only fools think that way.

Thus, Qin Shou made up his mind to go big.

According to the virtual coordinates, the Giant Whale Sea Domain, which is being developed by Jinhong City, ties directly to Zeus Group.

This is where he’ll begin!

However, the Giant Whale Sea Domain is guarded round-the-clock by three Unbreakable Realm powerhouses. Attempting a swift raid for its resources is no small task.

The development site is located underwater, where Little Vajra struggles in combat, and Brother Monkey can only last five seconds as a ’real man.’ Staying longer would be too risky.

To solve this, he needs to leverage external forces.

Qin Shou’s gaze locked onto the nearby Merfolk Sea Region, and he stroked his chin in thought.

An old saying goes... "Wearing female attire happens either zero times or countless times."

Well, humans from the Old Era must count as ancient people, right?

Guess it’s my turn to take center stage again.

...

Deep beneath the ocean.

In a dazzling Merfolk Sea City radiating brilliant light.

On this day, a "peerless merfolk" arrived in Sea City.

Qin Shou’s lips curled into a smile as he carried himself with unprecedented elegance. He swayed a flawless deep-blue fishtail, gliding gracefully through the center "streets" of the city.

Nearby Merfolk, stunned by the sight of the rare Royal Merfolk, instinctively stepped aside and bowed in respect after a brief moment of disbelief.

As Qin Shou swam further, more and more Merfolk started unconsciously trailing behind him, their gazes fixated on the mesmerizing deep-blue fishtail, eyes brimming with fascination.

"Wow, such a beautiful Imperial Mermaid Princess..."

"They say Royal Merfolk are unparalleled in beauty—today, I finally see it for myself..."

"This is my first time seeing a Royal Merfolk personally..."

Unknowingly, these Merfolk followed Qin Shou all the way to the Sea City Castle.

The castle guards, upon setting their eyes on Qin Shou for the first time, froze in dazed awe.

Soon, they snapped out of it and hastily bowed in salute.

"Honored one, may we ask..."

"Stand aside. I will personally welcome the guest."

From behind the guards, a manfish with a fearsome countenance, clad in red-gold armor, sliced through the water and appeared before Qin Shou in the blink of an eye.

"Beautiful Imperial Princess, I am Lord Chi Jiao, the City Lord of Xinghai City."

Whether it’s true or not, just call her a princess—it’s safer.

Lord Chi slightly bowed in greeting, his gaze flickering with admiration as he snuck glances at Qin Shou, a subtle hint of awe hidden in his expression.

Qin Shou looked at the terrifying manfish before him, hesitating as he felt the urge to retreat.

Female Merfolk are one thing, but male Merfolk... if he forcibly imposes himself, wouldn’t my innocence be ruined?!

For a Merfolk to rise to the rank of City Lord, they must at least possess Nightmare-level power.

"Ahem, Lord Chi, there’s no need for such formalities. I... I’ve come here to ask for a small favor."

When unsure, just go along with the act.

That was Qin Shou’s plan.

When Lord Chi Jiao heard this, his heart trembled.
