Chapter 5: Evolution Again

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“In 1991, traces of aliens were found in the South China Sea, and fragments of an alien spacecraft were obtained…”

“In 2025, the villagers of a mountain village underwent a mutation. Scales and sharp claws grew out of their bodies. They disappeared into the forest…”

As the rolling wheel in Li Manman’s hand continued to roll, the computer screen froze on a message.

“2050, July 20th. A cruise ship disappeared for no reason when it passed through the South China Sea. According to the fishermen, at that time, nothing could be seen clearly. After it recovered, only the remnants of the cruise ship could be seen on the surface of the sea.”

Seeing this message, Chu Ze’s heart skipped a beat. That was the day that his accident happened, and the location was also correct.

He didn’t expect that even the fishermen in the distance couldn’t see how the giant monster looked like.

It was obvious how big the monster was and how valuable it was.

Li Manman transferred to another special software and started to check.

When the software opened, it was a world map. Then, Li Manman started to adjust the time to July 20th, 2050.

After adjusting the time, she enlarged the map, and the location on the map was exactly where Chu Ze was in the accident.

As time sped up, a cruise ship appeared on the map.

And below the cruise ship, there was a huge shadow.

As time ticked by, the cruise ship suddenly disappeared, leaving only the huge shadow under the water.

“This picture is refreshed every half an hour. It just so happens that it didn’t capture the scene when the cruise ship disappeared.”

“But just from these pictures, there must be an unknown monster.”

Seeing these pictures, Chu Ze couldn’t help but say, “This must be the monster from back then. I didn’t expect it to be so big.”

“Just the shadow seen in the pictures is a hundred times bigger than that cruise ship.”

Although Chu Ze kept talking, only a series of bubbles came out of his mouth.

Li Manman felt the movement around her. She turned around and saw that it was the koi spitting bubbles at her.

“Chu Ying told me that the koi is hungry when it is spitting bubbles at people. It seems that it hasn’t eaten its fill just now. Let’s feed it again.”

Li Manman took the fish food and looked at Chu Ze.

“Hey, it’s getting bigger again. It seems that what Chu Ying said is true.”

“It’s growing so fast, so it must be consuming fast. Let’s feed it more.”

Then, she poured the fish food into the tank.

Chu Ze felt helpless. “When will the days of eating fish food pass? Now, my mouth is full of the taste of feed.”

As soon as the fish food fell into the tank, the group of small fish came over to snatch it. Chu Ze bared his teeth and roared at the group of small fish.

Unfortunately, no sound was made.

However, Li Manman saw Chu Ze’s mouth full of sharp teeth.

“Eh, there are actually such teeth. The koi shouldn’t have them. It seems that this is really a special species that Brother Chu got.”

Chu Ze’s mouth was full of fish food. He completely ignored Li Manman. Now that his mouth was full, he didn’t have the time to pay attention to Li Manman.

“Although this fish food was thrown into the water, it hasn’t been soaked for long. It still feels a little crispy.”

As Chu Ze chewed on the fish food, he was like a human chewing on something. Li Manman was amazed.

[ Intermediate level fish food devoured. Evolution points + 1 ]

[ Intermediate level fish food devoured. Evolution Points + 1 ]

…

“This koi is really strange. Maybe I can find something from this koi’s history.”

As she spoke, she prepared to look for more information.

Chu Ze quickly shouted, “More fish food. It’s not enough. More!”

Li Manman saw that the koi was still spitting bubbles and couldn’t help but laugh.

“You’re really like Brother Chu. If you don’t have enough, I’ll give it all to you.”

All the fish food in the bag was poured in. However, this time, the fish food was a little scattered, and a few pieces were snatched away by other small fish.

After pouring the fish food, Li Manman went to look for information on fish.

Chu Ze was not interested in this information at all, so he did not follow her.

Then, he opened the system to check his information.

“I’m only 25 evolution points away from evolving. It’s a pity that there isn’t any fish food left.”

Seeing these evolution points, Chu Ze felt a little helpless. There were still too few evolution points.

“When will I be able to free myself from fish food? I’m back to being well-off again.”

After searching for a while, Li Manman finally left the computer table.

“Sigh, I can’t find out the origin of this koi at all. I only know that Brother Chu caught it himself. I can’t find any relevant information online.”

Chu Ze shook his head in the fish tank. “Of course you can’t find it because this koi is me.”

Li Manman saw the koi was spitting bubbles in the fish tank again and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you hungry again?”

Chu Ze hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes. Give me some more fish food.”

“Unfortunately, there’s no more fish food. I don’t dare to feed anything else. Let’s buy fish food tomorrow. After feeding so much, there shouldn’t be any problems tonight.”

Chu Ze went to the back of the artificial hill in the fish tank in disappointment.

“Sigh, what a pity. I can’t even eat my fill.”

Then, he saw the small fish swimming leisurely in front of him. He rolled his eyes and an idea popped up in his mind.

After Li Manman’s hair was completely dry, she turned off the lights and went to sleep. There was still a weak light in the fish tank.

After seeing Li Manman fall asleep, Chu Ze began to move out.

“Little fish, come into my bowl obediently.”

These small fish were no match for Chu Ze. In just ten minutes, Chu Ze was the only fish left in the fish tank.

“I should have my dream even if I’m just a fish. Otherwise, it’s no different from salted fish. If I don’t have any food, I’ll think of a way. Hehehe…”

At this moment, his evolution points had reached 105. It was enough for him to evolve again.

Chu Ze looked at the notification in front of him.

[ Evolution condition met. Do you want to evolve? ]

[ Yes ]

[ This evolution will take one hour. Evolution begins. ]

It felt similar to before. His bones and muscles were being modified by the cool energy.

At the same time, when his brain was being modified, Chu Ze lost consciousness again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ze slowly woke up.

“Open the system and check the information.”

Chu Ze, who had completed his evolution once again, had his body enlarged again. The golden light on his scales looked even brighter.

When Chu Ze swam out from behind the rockery, he found that Li Manman was no longer on the bed. He looked out of the window again. It was already morning.

Not long after, the door opened. It was Chu Ying who came in with a small bag of fish food in her hand.

It turned out that in the morning, Chu Ying found out that Chu Ze had not eaten his fill last night. She ran home to get the fish food and let Li Manman choose the fish tank by herself..
