As countless sea fish leaped out of the ocean's surface, a miraculous spectacle unfolded.
The onlookers who witnessed this extraordinary scene began to speculate.
Some attributed it to changes in lunar gravity.
Others suggested ocean pollution.
After the video was uploaded online, numerous experts emerged, offering various explanations.
Yang Lin, the instigator of this event, quickly returned to Xihong Zoo with the dolphins that needed rescuing.
While driving, he couldn't stop replaying the sensation of controlling marine life.
"This skill is truly exhilarating. If I were in aquaculture, I'd be rolling in wealth. Giant lobsters, king crabs, they'd all climb onto the ship themselves."
"I wonder if I can control even bigger creatures. I'll have to try again when I have the chance."
Suppressing his excitement, Yang Lin soon drove the large trucks carrying the dolphins into Xihong Zoo.
Although it was nearing closing time, there were still many tourists inside and at the entrance.
When they saw Yang Lin driving several large trucks into the park, they immediately realized something was up.
Soon, they gathered around.
"Where has Director Yang gone shopping for more animals this time?"
"What kind of animals is it this time?"
"How can you speak so rudely? What do you mean 'shopping'? Don't you see the plaque for a member unit of the Animal Protection Association?"
"Exactly, Director Yang is acting legally and legitimately now."
Amidst the playful banter, the appearance of several dolphins caught everyone's attention.
Immediately, their eyes widened.
"Wow, what is this? A dolphin?"
"Where did he get them from?"
"Awesome, Director Yang's methods are truly wild. Which zoo did he 'take advantage of' this time?"
"Developing land, sea, and air capabilities."
...
Before long, the news of Xihong Zoo acquiring several dolphins spread throughout Ningnan City.
While everyone was astonished by Yang Lin's vast capabilities, Yang Lin himself had already placed the six rescued dolphins into a pre-prepared saltwater aquarium.
Fortunately, these dolphins weren't too large, otherwise, he wouldn't have had space for them.
Seeing that the four dolphins with minor injuries were mostly fine, Yang Lin turned his attention to the two severely injured ones.
Under normal circumstances, these two dolphins would likely not have survived, given the difficulty of treating marine life.
But for Yang Lin, as long as no one was watching, the matter was simple.
Casually opening the talent panel of a severely injured dolphin, a list of talents appeared before him.
[Extreme Speed (Green Talent) Activation requires 1 Talent Point]
[Acute Hearing (Green Talent) Activation requires 1 Talent Point]
[Advanced Intelligence (Gold Talent) Activation requires 5 Talent Points]
[Perception (Gold Talent) Activation requires 5 Talent Points]
[Oceanic Sprite (Gold Talent) Activation requires 5 Talent Points]
...
Looking at the standard panel before him, Yang Lin was not surprised.
As the fastest swimming animal in the ocean, dolphins can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, and even faster when pursued by prey.
The other talents were also more or less related to the dolphin's natural abilities.
After a moment's thought, Yang Lin clicked on its Extreme Speed talent.
The moment it awakened the Extreme Speed talent, a miraculous change began to occur on the dolphin's body.
First and foremost, its wounds healed instantly, followed by changes to its skin surface and physique.
Undoubtedly, these two changes would further enhance the dolphin's speed.
Seeing the severely injured dolphin instantly recover, Yang Lin quickly followed suit and awakened the same talent for the other dolphin.
After these two dolphins' injuries were healed, a sense of intimacy emerged in their naturally friendly eyes.
They would occasionally poke their heads out of the water to interact with Yang Lin, resembling playful puppies.
Looking at these adorable and affectionate dolphins, Yang Lin found it hard to imagine how the heartless Japanese had cruelly slaughtered them.
"Alright, alright, you stay here for a while, and then I'll send you back to the sea."
As he petted the heads of the small dolphins, Yang Lin spoke softly.
Once the dolphins had all calmed down, he left the yet-to-be-opened aquarium.
He reappeared in his room.
As soon as he opened the door, a series of strange noises attracted his attention.
He initially thought that Gou Dan or Gou Sheng had run in, but when he looked at the floor, he was startled by the scene before him.
More than ten Razor-toothed Vipers, with their mouths agape, were wriggling on the floor, and scattered beside them were large amounts of debris.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the debris was from his flip-flops.
While feeling a pang of heartache, Yang Lin also displayed a look of shock.
"You guys are truly amazing. Not only did you jump out of the fish tank, but you also chewed up my slippers."
"I should have sent you guys out too."
As he spoke, Yang Lin picked up the steel net he had used earlier and returned all the Razor-toothed Vipers on the floor to the tank.
He had kept a few of them due to their unique nature, but he had never expected them to be so ferocious.
After all the Razor-toothed Vipers were back in the tank, Yang Lin suddenly realized something was amiss.
"The water stains on the floor have dried, meaning they've been out for a while. So why aren't they dead yet?"
"Don't normal fish die when they're out of water?"
Realizing this, Yang Lin felt a prickle of fear.
Undoubtedly, these Razor-toothed Vipers were among the most resilient creatures he had ever encountered.
Being electrocuted, bludgeoned, dehydrated, and starved hadn't killed them; they were as tough as cockroaches.
With a sense of curiosity, Yang Lin casually opened the talent panel of a Razor-toothed Viper.
[Yang's Razor-toothed Viper]
[Survival of the Fittest (Gold Talent) Activated. This species is an ancient creature with incredible evolutionary capabilities, honed to perfection over millions of years.]
Yes, this was the only talent on the entire panel, yet it sent shivers down Yang Lin's spine.
A species born with a gold-tier talent was unheard of.
