Leveling Up With My Pet



Albatron International.

Bi Qingyun sat in his opulent office; his brows furrowed in concentration as he perused a meticulously compiled investigation report. Across the room, Song Jianwei lounged on a plush sofa, anxiously eyeing his boss.

"This is an investigation report," Bi Qingyun finally spoke, his voice carrying the weight of the information presented. "It seems there's an orchestrated smear campaign against King Long mobile phones circulating on the internet. Clearly, there's a hidden puppet master pulling the strings behind this."

Song Jianwei leaned forward, his interest piqued. "So, President Bi, what's your take on this matter?"

Bi Qingyun's gaze held a steely determination. "My sentiments precisely, Old Song. It's time for us to retaliate. We'll hold a press conference, and you will step forward to announce that three months from now, our Jinlong mobile phones will exclusively feature domestically-produced graphene-aluminum batteries."

The report mentioned that King Long mobile phones would adopt domestic batteries with a twist – graphene-aluminium batteries.

Song Jianwei's eyes lit up with excitement; finally, they could strike back with full force. "President, when our press conference unfolds, it will undoubtedly create a seismic impact. The folks over at Sirius will be fuming with anger."

A chuckle escaped Bi Qingyun's lips.

Sinuo Company, hidden behind the scenes, was the culprit responsible for this campaign. This mobile phone behemoth headquartered in country M held a colossal share of the world's mid- and high-end mobile phone market, shipping hundreds of millions of devices annually. Even in the Yan Kingdom, their Sirius mobile phones dominated the market, outselling Jinlong mobile phones two to three times over.

Their tactics had always been ruthless, resorting to underhanded methods to suppress their competition. Several major domestic mobile phone manufacturers, including Qingyun International, had fallen victim to their schemes. But now, the tides were turning, and they had an opportunity for a comprehensive counterattack.

The following day arrived swiftly, and Qingyun International orchestrated a grand press conference. Not only did they unveil a new mobile phone set for release, but they also dropped the bombshell announcement that, in three months, King Long mobile phones would exclusively feature graphene-aluminum batteries.

Pandemonium erupted among the attendees as they struggled to digest the groundbreaking news. Many were left in awe, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the announcement.

As the press conference continued, reporters bombarded Song Jianwei and his team with questions that were answered diligently.

"Graphene-aluminum batteries? Is this for real?"

"Charging speeds 100 times faster than lithium batteries? Power output over 10 times that of lithium batteries?"

Sceptics emerged, questioning whether it was mere hype.

However, Song Jianwei dropped a bombshell of his own, revealing that Universal Enterprise Group had successfully developed graphene-aluminum batteries. They had invested billions in Jinpen County, constructing a massive factory spanning a thousand acres with a monthly production capacity of 30 million mobile phone batteries.

Slowly but surely, scepticism began to wane as more and more people started to believe in the authenticity of the announcement.

After the press conference, the news exploded across the internet. Jinlong mobile phones using graphene-aluminum batteries and the Jinpen County battery factory were trending topics.

This was publicity money couldn't buy, and Qingyun International was reaping the rewards.

However, the folks over at Sirius Company were far from pleased.

In their US headquarters, an urgent meeting convened, with almost all of Sirius' middle and upper management in attendance. Mor Jeffrey, the president of Sirius, presided over the gathering with solemnity.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Mor Jeffrey began, "just over ten hours ago, Qingyun International held a press conference in the Yan Kingdom, announcing their adoption of graphene-aluminum batteries in their mobile phones."

He provided a comprehensive overview of the situation, detailing the magnitude of the announcement.

A senior executive raised an eyebrow. "Mr. President, I have my doubts about the credibility of graphene-aluminum batteries. It's still in the conceptual stage, and its successful development seems highly improbable."

Another executive chimed in, "I concur. This might be nothing more than a publicity stunt. Perhaps it's still a lithium battery, repackaged and labeled as graphene-aluminum."

Mor Jeffrey shook his head firmly. "No. Call it intuition, but I have a gut feeling that this could be genuine."

The stakes were impossibly high, and while many held reservations, the mere possibility that it was authentic was too significant to ignore.

After extensive deliberation, Mor Jeffrey dispatched a high-ranking executive to the Yan Kingdom to investigate the Jinpen County battery factory.

Meanwhile, colossal Bawang lay submerged in the North Pacific Ocean in the North Pacific Ocean, its gargantuan form weighing in at a staggering 1,178 tons, just shy of the 1,200-ton mark.

On this fine day, the sun bathed the ocean's surface in radiant warmth, and Bawang languidly floated about ten meters beneath the sea's surface. It revelled in the bliss of basking in the sun for hours before embarking on a journey more profound into the ocean's abyss.

Its destination? The remnants of a long-forgotten spaceship. Bawang had previously feasted upon the wreckage's metallic innards, clearing away hundreds of thousands of tons of debris with each foray.

The underwater days were long, and Bawang spent them methodically tidying up the ocean floor. Its herculean efforts had uncovered vast quantities of metal fragments and the underlying soil, which had been stubbornly entrenched amidst the spaceship's remains.

Once shrouded in mud and stone, the formerly hidden spaceship had grown in size as Bawang diligently excavated. It was becoming increasingly evident that the overgrown wreckage was expanding its reach, slowly revealing its vast, grey-black metallic shell.

Bawang's colossal grey-black size of a small car was its primary tool. With each swipe, dozens of tons of soil were unearthed. It was an arduous task, but Bawang pressed on, day by day, revealing more of the spacecraft's secrets.

As the days passed, Bawang had removed hundreds of thousands of tons of soil and rocks, creating an enormous pile of debris adjacent to the spaceship's remains. It resembled a miniature mountain, a testament to Bawang's unwavering diligence.

But Bawang was relentless. In addition to soil and rock, it unearthed even more massive chunks of metal, adding to its growing collection of treasures.

One such piece of metal, buried beneath layers of earth, caught Bawang's attention. Slowly but surely, Bawang excavated it, revealing a colossal metal fragment that weighed several thousand tons.

Despite its immense strength, Bawang struggled to budge the massive piece. It exerted every ounce of its might, even using its gigantic spear as a makeshift lever. Finally, with a loud boom, the metal fragment gave way, and something deep within the wreckage appeared to collapse.

The raucous noise startled Bawang, and it hastily retreated hundreds of meters, its massive spear at the ready.

The underwater world had momentarily erupted in chaos, perplexing Bawang and on high alert.
