The islands on this planet were easy to purchase, and there were many choices. Nanfeng selected a few and showed them to Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao picked one.
The island owner was ecstatic to have a buyer asking for an island. He had seen more and more people investing in foreign planets and had gotten anxious. He wanted to sell this island as soon as possible, so he took a step back during negotiations.
The transaction was quick. Fang Zhao had asked for an island the day before and settled it the next day.
Nanfeng felt helpless seeing Fang Zhao settle the paperwork so quickly. Fang Zhao doesn't know how to invest. He needs a wise investment advisor.
Although he didn't know what had happened in the house that day, there was no need to rush to buy an island, right?
Sigh, Boss should just focus on his music and art. Investing would be a huge loss.
Nanfeng wasn't the only one who thought this way. The island owner also felt that Fang Zhao was foolish. Coming over to buy an island on this planet when its prices were dropping. If this wasn't foolish, what was?
He was still too young and impulsive.
Fang Zhao's new island wasn't too big, but it was enough for Curly Hair to move around. Its location was rather remote and some distance from the various continents. It didn't even have a distinctive shape and wasn't well-known at all. Furthermore, the original island owner hadn't lived there in close to 20 years. He only sent people over to clean it up twice a year. It was a very primitive island.
The Period of Destruction had engulfed the entire world. There was no utopia. This island had also experienced the Period of Destruction. After 500 years, it had recovered to its current flourishing state.
The house on the island had been built more than 50 years ago. Due to frequent storms, it had been upgraded twice. Fang Zhao didn't make any major changes. It was fine as long as it was sturdy enough to live in.
After the security system was installed, Fang Zhao let Nanfeng and the other two return to await further orders.
The island wasn't big, so food was limited. Most of it was shipped in from outside. Fang Zhao hoarded some supplies and would get Yan Biao and Zuo Yu to deliver them every once in a while when he lacked supplies.
After receiving the copyright fees, Fang Zhao bought two more flying transports that could only fly within the atmosphere.
His wallet, which had just started to bulge, was empty again.
Nanfeng and the other two felt their hearts ache for him. All of them had the thought of "Is my boss crazy?"
One of the two flying transports was placed on the island, while the other was used to transport goods for Nanfeng and the other two.
"Boss, you … are you going to stay here alone?" Zuo Yu asked worriedly.
"Yeah." Fang Zhao looked much calmer.
"Do we really not need more manpower?" Yan Biao also asked.
"No need."
"Then … Boss, contact us immediately if you need anything. We'll be on standby." Nanfeng boarded the aircraft while looking back repeatedly.
After watching Nanfeng and the other two leave in the flying transport, Fang Zhao returned to the house and called Curly Hair out from his kennel.
Now, Curly Hair's mental state had completely changed from "I can't be this kind of dog" to "Should I go out and earn money?"
Curly Hair had originally thought that the "fish" he had swallowed would last him half a month. He hadn't expected that Curly Hair would start to feel hungry in less than a week.
Fang Zhao came out with a big bag of dog food. The kind that came in a big bag of 50 kilograms.
"You eat. I'll watch you eat from the side," Fang Zhao said.
"Can I swallow it directly?"
"Sure."
Curly Hair licked his nose and walked over to the bag of dog food.
Then, Fang Zhao saw what seemed to be a big... mouth?
The silver metal flashed coldly.
The 50-kilogram bag of dog food was gone.
"Are you full?" Fang Zhao asked.
Curly Hair hesitated for a bit before nodding. "Still … a little hungry."
That meant he hadn't eaten his fill.
Fang Zhao came out with another 50-kilogram bag of dog food. "Can you swallow it slower this time? Slow down your swallowing? "
Curly Hair nodded decisively this time. "Swallow slowly!"
This time, Fang Zhao saw it even more clearly.
The dog's head had changed, but the rest of its body remained in the shape of a normal dog. The slightly long and curly dog fur seemed to have retracted back into Curly Hair's body.
The transformed dog's head was a little blurry and seemed to be made out of some kind of metal. Fang Zhao couldn't see what it was exactly, but he could see a big mouth with sharp teeth that swallowed the 50-kilogram bag of dog food. Easy as pie.
Not to mention 50 kilograms, even 100 kilograms could be swallowed without any pause.
Fang Zhao fell into deep thought as he watched this scene.
Perhaps this dog couldn't simply be classified as a carbon-based lifeform.
It might even exist in another form.
It was usually a dog. What would it be after transforming? A metal dog? A lifeform made out of unknown metals?
The cameras in the house had malfunctioned as expected. Only a portion of what had been recorded had been disrupted from the start of the transformation.
Fang Zhao looked at the other surveillance cameras in the house. The ones that were closer had also suffered serious malfunctions. The ones that were more than 20 meters away had fewer malfunctions, but the footage had also been distorted.
All electronic equipment had been affected. Fortunately, Fang Zhao had prepared a lot when he had moved in.
Curly Hair didn't know about these changes, and electronic equipment couldn't be used. Thus, Fang Zhao went to the warehouse to search and brought out the fitting mirror left behind by the previous island owner.
Curly Hair looked at the mirror and swallowed another bag of dog food, but this time, he almost choked.
He was dumbstruck.
He nearly peed his pants in fright at his appearance in the mirror.
Indeed, he didn't know what he looked like unless he looked in the mirror!
The degree of shock was even greater than when he had found out that he had torn down the house in his dreams!
However, no matter how great the shock was, it was still replaced by hunger.
After this transformation a few times, Curly Hair felt exhausted. The three bags of dog food seemed to have been completely consumed.
Hungry.
Hungry!
Curly Hair had no choice but to run into the sea to look for food. This time, there weren't any other residents in the vicinity. Curly Hair didn't need to wait until night. After obtaining Fang Zhao's permission, he rushed into the sea to look for food.
As if a switch had been flipped, Curly Hair's transformation became more frequent in the following period. Sometimes, when he was digging a hole for fun, his claws would suddenly enlarge and create a hole.
Fang Zhao didn't dare let Curly Hair sleep in the house. What if Curly Hair destroyed the house in his excitement and dreamt of chasing a thief?
Accompanying these frequent transformations was a huge demand for energy.
Food!
Fang Zhao really had no solution. He could only let Curly Hair run into the sea to look for food himself. Fang Zhao would always emphasize to Curly Hair some matters that needed to be taken note of.
Curly Hair would go for a stroll in the sea every day. In a week, he had swallowed two bionic torpedoes near Yanzhou's coastal waters.
However, one wouldn't last half a month, not even a week. If the transformations were too frequent, he would have to go out again every two or three days.
Curly Hair was rather happy. He could eat his fill in one go and save money.
However, after swallowing the third bionic torpedo, he couldn't find any more. Curly Hair went to Yanzhou's coastal waters a few times, but he didn't see any more.
Fang Zhao knew that those people from'T Organization 'might have already given up on using bionic torpedoes. He just didn't know what those people were going to do next.
Yanzhou's anti-terrorism efforts weren't bad. Even without Curly Hair swallowing the torpedoes, the chances of those bionic torpedoes being intercepted were very high.
Without the torpedoes, Curly Hair could only change his target. This time, he planned to swim a little further.
Fang Zhao didn't agree or object. He handed Curly Hair a set of comprehensive test papers. He had personally set the questions. The questions involved all sorts of critical situations and some things that he had emphasized many times before.
Curly Hair finished the set of questions very quickly. Out of a total of 100 points, he got 93 points.
After deducting seven points, Fang Zhao gave Curly Hair supplementary lessons before allowing Curly Hair to go out.
This time, Curly Hair went out for slightly longer. He returned after 12 hours. When he returned, he was full of energy. It seemed like he had eaten and drunk his fill.
"What did you eat?" Fang Zhao asked.
"I ate a huge chest!!"
Curly Hair gave a simple recount of his experiences. In summary, he had been swimming and swimming ever since he left the island. It seemed like there was something to eat, and it seemed delicious, so he ate it.
Fang Zhao asked a few more questions about the details and learned that the place where Curly Hair had found his "food" was a submarine that had sunk in the deep sea. The "food" that Curly Hair had mentioned was probably some kind of high-energy substance inside the submarine.
Curly Hair had eaten two of the eight large chests.
Because of the distance, Curly Hair hadn't been able to control the changes in his body and hadn't been able to bring the chests over from the deep sea for Fang Zhao to see.
At that time, Curly Hair had felt full after swallowing the first chest. He had wanted to bring another chest back to show Fang Zhao what it was, but he had ended up swallowing it.
Curly Hair didn't want to swallow a third chest. Fang Zhao had warned him repeatedly, so he didn't dare to bite open the chest. He could only return to the island first.
"So full," Curly Hair said.
It was rare for him to be full.
Without a submarine, Fang Zhao had no way of seeing it. He could only guess based on Curly Hair's description.
There wasn't enough information this time, and it was unknown how long ago the submarine had sunk. Curly Hair didn't recognize it, so Fang Zhao couldn't draw it out. He could only wait for Curly Hair to go foraging for food and provide clues.
After Curly Hair ate his fill, the effects were obvious.
From being unable to control the sudden changes at the start to being vaguely aware of the changes, Curly Hair was able to avoid unnecessary damage before the changes occurred. There weren't any more craters on the island.
However, the changes became more frequent and intense.
To prevent any abnormal energy fluctuations from being detected by patrolling planes or satellites in outer space, Fang Zhao made Curly Hair run into the sea every time he felt a change was about to occur. Being on land or in the sea didn't affect Curly Hair much.
In the following month, Curly Hair ran out a few more times and swallowed the remaining chests in the sunken submarine in batches.
Based on the information brought back by Curly Hair and the clues he had found, Fang Zhao could basically confirm that this was the submarine that had been sunk by the Yanzhou Navy a hundred years ago. There were also rumors that there were at least eight tons of grade A power ore on the submarine …
Many people had tried to salvage it, not for the submarine, but for the eight tons of grade A power ore. However, they had all returned empty-handed. It was easy to be swallowed up by undercurrents and attacked by deep-sea creatures. It was said that there was also a magnetic anomaly in that area. Communication was easily cut off, and submersibles were prone to malfunction.
It wasn't worth it for a rumor that might not be true.
Gradually, people forgot about the sunken submarine and the legendary eight tons of grade A power ore.
Fang Zhao fell silent as he looked at the reason why the Yanzhou Navy had suddenly mobilized.
His feelings were complicated.
