Chapter 683 - Underwater Fissure
The Fengli Organization had been expanding rapidly with its inexhaustible funds and rapid technological improvements.
If this continued on unrestricted, the Sheng family would suffer heavy losses!
In this case, Sheng Yufu understood all of that.
“My Lord, in that case...” Sheng Yufu started to ask but his hands moved up to his neck area and wrung them, a murderous intent filled his eyes. However, Sheng Yufu furrowed his brow as if he had more concerns!
“Wait a little longer to see if Qin Feng is only planning to sell in East Sea City or if he has plans to expand to other places!” Sheng Lian still had his hands full of other unrelated issues.
In East Sea City, while they said that they were losing money this was not necessarily true. Those deep-sea vessels had made their rounds and earned back what they expended, and their only issue was being expelled from the city.

For the massive Sheng family, that did not impact it too greatly.
However, it obviously greatly impacted Sheng Yufu.
“My Lord, I can see that Qin Feng has unchained ambitions! He’s made a spatial-warping aircraft before! Now, if that thing should be the main focus of the company, if something like that became popular, it’ll directly threaten our line of business!”
Sheng Lian glared at Sheng Yufu and let out an aggravated ‘Hmph!’.
Sheng Yufu’s body shuddered and he stopped, not daring to speak.
Sheng Lian said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. It’s already done, sell the vessels to the Island Republic. They don’t know about Qin Feng’s technology, the news they receive is heavily censored. You’ll definitely get them to buy. Yes it will be a huge loss! As for you, you’re transferring to Guang City!”
Guang City was the trading hub of the Public Capital Corporation. It was known for its vast oil reserves.
Sheng Yufu nodded quickly and said cheerfully, “Thank you, Second Great-Uncle”
This time, he did not use the title of ‘Lord’ and referred to the other’s seniority. Indeed the man would have been his second great-uncle if one looked at their family tree. Perhaps it was because of this relationship that Sheng Yufu would get such treatment.
Soon the Public Capital Corporation withdrew from East Sea City and the news was spread, causing people to become more alert.
Xue Xingfu’s keen business-mind moved quickly. He knew that causing such a large company to withdraw would bring many more problems to them and draw the interests of many people.
Even if he was keen enough, this matter still was not his own choice to make. In the end, he still had to wait for Qin Feng’s commands.
And Qin Feng was out in the Abyssal Ocean, unaware of such news.
In the ocean, the Glutton hunted down whatever ultra beast came in its path. They never even stopped and went back for shore once. All of the beasts were swallowed, the water drained and their bodies harvested.
Qin Feng stood in the main control room, his brow locked in a furrow.
‘I’ve been searching for ten days. The secret should be right here, but where is it?’ He thought to himself.
According to his memory, March of 219 A.C., exactly at this time, the Abyssal Ocean erupted with a terrible force and caused many A-tiers to approach this stretch of the horrible ocean.
It was here that they discovered a heavenly mountain.
It rose out from the deep sea, pushing away sea water, and the surrounding coasts were suddenly assaulted by tsunamis.
By the time the aptitude users arrived they learned that this was the Glutton Leviathan’s own territory. The Glutton ate anyone that approached the area and eventually ended up consuming half of the mountain and evolved into a beast deity ultra beast.
As such, since Qin Feng had already killed the Glutton, that meant that this divine mountain was going to be a handy thing to obtain.However, they had scoured the Glutton Leviathan’s territory and he found nothing!
‘Did I get the time wrong? Or is it that this event needed the Glutton Leviathan to trigger? If it’s the latter then I’m afraid I’ve wasted a resource!”
He had plenty of theories in his mind but he did not say them out loud.
“President, our storage is full. Should we head back to port for repairs?”
They had been out at sea for ten days, and not only that, Qin Feng’s support mission had expired!
He remained silent for a few moments before finally saying, “Let’s return!”
“Yes!”
Guo Guan spread the order down and the Glutton quickly made its return voyage!
Qin Feng did this because he considered Guo Guan as a researcher and should stay behind in East Sea City for research and development. Then there was He Jia, that official from the Human Alliance. Sure she was just an assistant, but she was the secretary of the Eastern Regent. Who would care if she followed him?
He Jia also had some regrets. Qin Feng hunted down a lot of ultra beasts and did things that needed more than ten B-tier aptitude users to accomplish together. On his first day out at sea he killed the Glutton Leviathan and He Jia hoped that Qin Feng could do more.
For example, hunt down the other ultra beasts on the list.
It was a pity that Qin Feng did not seem to be bothered with that at all!
As such, it seemed that his support mission had come to its end.
***
Just three hours after the Glutton returned from its voyage, a bolt of lightning slid out from the bottom of the ocean where the Glutton’s old territory was.
This bolt of lightning was dazzling to look at and bore with it silver runes!
What nobody noticed was that once this rift appeared, there was no darkness on the other side but instead it showed a mirage-like image of some kind of land mass!
It was like a mirror, lying flatly at the bottom of the ocean and that piece of land drilled its way out bit by bit from the crack as it joined the deep ocean.
This event was something that nobody could find an explanation for.
It was not clear if it was either soil or some kind of energy crystal that began to violently gush out, causing changes within the ocean. For a while,the ocean floor was a soup of chaotic energy.
This land mass continued to gather and it seemed to be breaking apart the sea bed by thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers.
The sea water was pushed aside and the sea beasts felt a sudden change in their environment. Some fled the area while some approached it. It had become a scene of pure chaos.
As the sea was violently moved, waves gathered up and formed into a massive tsunami headed for East Sea City!
Qin Feng was completely oblivious to all of this. A few hours ago he had already stepped onto East Sea City’s docks!
As he got off the vessel, it happened to be sunset and the sky was painted with a magnificent shade of rose.
“Everyone, take a break. You can go into the city. After resting for a day we’ll be heading out again!”
“Yes, President!”
“Oh and your bonus has been doubled!” Qin Feng’s normally placid expression shifted a little.
“Hurrah, long live the President!”
“Thanks President!”
The C-tiers hired to be the crew all raised their voices in cheer.
Of course, all of these matters were handed to Yu Yangtao to deal with as Qin Feng went to the Garrison hall.
“Submitting the task to promote to a B-tier aptitude user!”
He showed his mission’s video.
Within three minutes, the video was reviewed and the staff he was talking to solemnly handed a box over to him.
