I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Seeing Lu Ying roar loudly, the orcas shrank back timidly and dove into the water.

After several minutes, only then did they poke their heads out and emitted a couple of "ying ying" sounds, as if observing whether the person in front of them was angry.

Lu Ying asked, "Nothing happened, right?"

"Actually no, just got touched a couple of times and got sent flying into the sky," the soldier wiped some sea water off his hair.

"They don't really attack people, just keep pushing them out of the water, causing some trouble for everyone's deep-sea operations."

The key point was, these guys made "ying ying" strange cries!

The sounds were soft.

And quite cute.

Humans did not really want to hunt them unless absolutely necessary.

Nowadays, no one lacked for a bit of shark meat.

"How about, training a group of orcas to find treasure for us?"

This idea popped into Lu Ying's head, he gestured with his hands, wanting to compete in swimming speed with these fellows.

"See if you can catch me!!"

And would you believe it, they really understood!

The speedboat roared ahead, while the orcas followed behind, swimming frantically, occasionally letting out "ying ying" strange cries, even striving to swim ahead and splashing water on Lu Ying's face.

Playing with these guys was truly joyful, washing away the exhaustion of a day's diving.

"Guys, do you think we can find a way to tame these fellows?"

His companion quickly replied, "According to the records of humanity's mother civilization, orcas seem to be tamable... but what can a bunch of rough guys like us do?"

Lu Ying chuckled, "Hey... if we can't do it ourselves, we can find someone. There are plenty of researchers who want to make a contribution!"

With this thought, Lu Ying first requested some fish, several hundred pounds in total, then he contacted a few people with animal affinities.

"Oh, I'm quite free actually. Just... this project needs to create some social value, can't mess around."

"Haha, mutant orcas are definitely tameable," Lu Ying laughed, "whether we can make some Spirit Essence out of it is hard to say, but if they can give us early warnings, that's a decent contribution too. As long as we can tame them successfully, I'll help you write a report." Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

These days, there were too many young people with ideas, all looking for projects!

As a result, when he said this, a whole crowd of people came over, even Lu Yuan and Conch joined the bustle.

Lu Ying was quite flattered, "With so many people here, I'm afraid there won't be much contribution to go around."

"Cough cough, I'm just looking around, don't mind me," Lu Yuan arrived with a dirt-smudged face, ever since he realized Mythical Equipment was the concept of "Magic Treasure," he'd been consumed with new ideas, working tirelessly.

Just now he had even had an explosive accident, almost burning off the hair on his head.

Conch said cheerily, "Your Great Commander made a piece of crappy equipment and felt dejected. Hearing about the big sharks causing everyone trouble, he hurriedly called me over."

"If it really doesn't work out, I can use 'Spirit Word' to scare them away."

The verb "scare" made Conch a bit unhappy—was she really so frightening?

"Cough cough, just to relax, just to relax," Lu Yuan explained.

In the past, there was the Donkey Head Mask able to launch "Spiritual Shock," but now only Conch could intimidate on a large scale.

"You shouldn't have sold that Donkey Head Mask!!" Conch thought sneakingly and surreptitiously pinched Lu Yuan.

Causing Old Lu to be at a loss, he unleashed "Control," a small psychic shock.

Conch also imitated and launched "Control," even using some Spirit Charm.

Immediately, Lu Yuan countered with Eternal Spark, calming the surging all energies. And so, the two of them privately went back and forth "controlling" each other.

The group of orcas, seeing so many humans in the stands, were also quite happy, letting out "ying ying" high-pitched cries.

These "Ocean Street Strays" were quite good-looking, with beautiful body lines, agile fins and limbs, and swift swimming; they were eager to play with humans.

So people threw down those few hundred pounds of fish; free food, naturally, made the orcas very happy.

And while they were eating, those with animal affinities began emitting unique sound waves to calm their emotions.

The "Ying Ying" strange calls grew even louder.

"It's said that orcas view humans like humans view kittens… They find humans cute?"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up as he investigated.

[Pangu Killer Whale, a marvelous creature that exists on the border between intelligence and non-intelligence.]

[Through long evolution, they have discovered a unique way of living that makes them neither too smart nor too dumb.]

[Low-level mutation, cold resistance greatly enhanced. Because of their thick hide, heat loss in icy water is slow.]

[Shape: 15.2]

[Qi: 8.9]

[Divine Attribute: 3.0]

"Eh? The Divine Attribute actually reached 3.0..."

Lu Yuan remembered that creatures with less than 3 points of Divinity had no value of Mind. This was right on the borderline.

"Ying Ying!!"

"Conch, are they talking? Can you translate for me?"

"Do you really want to know?" Conch asked with a mischievous smile, tilting her head to look at Lu Yuan.

She didn't know how she did it, some kind of Divine Skill maybe, but she could understand them.

"Yes!"

Conch sent a telepathic message.

[The Big Orca said: Damn it, why do these fish taste so not fresh! They've been dead for a while now, the insides all stink! Damn it!]

Lu Yuan's face twitched involuntarily.

[Forget it, for the sake of these guys looking cute, let's save their face and pretend like it's delicious.]

[Watch me perform, watch me deceive them.]

"Ying Ying!"

[See, they fell for it! They all started laughing!]

[Another Big Orca said: Damn, you're really sly.]

Indeed, everyone started laughing.

Humans wanted to domesticate orcas, but the orcas were actually playing them.

Only Lu Yuan was shocked; he began to suspect that Conch was making fun of him.

[The leading one said: Look at that guy who never laughs, he must be the leader.]

[Damn, he's not laughing, what is he thinking? Watch me splash him in the face!]

Lu Yuan was still absorbed in the odd tone Conch used when she said "Damn it".

After all, the girl had always spoken sweetly, very polite, occasionally mischievous, but still sweet.

Now her continuous "Damn it" sounded amusing.

The next second, a splash of seawater was flung at Lu Yuan!

Doused unexpectedly with a face full of water, Lu Yuan grew furious: "Careful or I'll control you!"

The crowd laughed even harder.

A girl with animal affinity handed over some napkins: "Looks like it really likes you."

Lu Yuan quickly wiped the sea water off his face: "Cough, it's nothing."
