Chapter 2: Protecting the Environment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That electric eel was a freshwater fish with a strong discharge ability; the output voltage could reach 300 to 800 volts.

The voltage of a household electrical outlet was only 220 volts, and the maximum voltage that a human body could withstand was only 36 volts!

In other words, once an ordinary person was electrocuted by the electric eel, they would die.

“I’ll take this one!”

In the fish shop, Chu Lingjun looked at the electric eel in front of him and smiled.

Tomorrow would be the first day of school, and on the first day of school, students would be tested for their talent.

He didn’t have enough time to practice after he transmigrated here.

The electric eel was small, but the most important thing was that it could give him the ability of lightning.

“Alright, that’ll be 500 dollars. Do you want a fish tank with fish food?”

“No need. Please bag it and inject oxygen into the bag for traveling.”

“Alright.”

The spending power in this world was the same as Chu Lingjun’s previous life. The salary of an ordinary person was also 3000 to 4000 dollars.

500 dollars for a one-meter-long electric eel was very cheap. In his previous life, an electric eel like that would have cost at least 2000 to 3000 dollars.

The main reason was that there were countless dangerous exotic beasts in this world. Many rich people loved the idea of raising exotic beast cubs.

Under the invasion of alien species, native creatures like electric eels became cheap.

Moreover, the electric eel in front of Chu Lingjun had not mutated. If it had mutated, it would not be worth this much.

The electric eel was put into a big black bag, and filled with water and pumped with oxygen.

In order to prevent being electrocuted, Chu Lingjun asked the owner for a pair of rubber gloves.

The one-meter-long electric eel and water weighed the size of a small child. Chu Lingjun, who had just recovered from a serious illness, almost couldn’t lift it. In addition, he had to push his sister’s wheelchair, which made it even more difficult to move around.

Chu Lingjun gritted his teeth and pushed the wheelchair to an empty alley. He looked around for a long time and made sure that there was no one around. Chu Lingjun put the electric eel on the ground and then activated his talent, Soul Clone.

He had already used it several times in the past few days and was now familiar with it.

With a thought, an illusory figure that looked exactly like him flew out of his body as if his soul had left his body.

Under Chu Lingjun’s control, the clone quickly entered the electric eel’s body in the bag.

As soon as the clone touched the electric eel’s body, Chu Lingjun felt a bitter force, as if his Soul Clone had fallen into a mess.

Sensing this scene, Chu Lingjun heaved a sigh of relief and was slightly delighted that he had no other repercussions carrying out the task and only had a mild setback.

This was because when he tried to use his clone to contract an exotic beast, he was immediately sent flying by the other party. It was as if an iron wall had appeared in front of him.

He was too weak.

With his current body and the creatures he could find, the electric eel was the best solution he ended up with.

After a long time, the clone finally turned into a ray of light and entered the electric eel’s body bit by bit.

A complex and magnificent soul contract mark flashed across the electric eel’s forehead.

The electric eel, which had been struggling, was stunned for a moment before its body slowly stopped moving. It raised its head and stared blankly at Chu Lingjun.

At the same time, two sensory systems suddenly appeared in front of Chu Lingjun.

One was his own, and the other was the electric eel’s.

There were two images in Chu Lingjun’s mind. One was his original perspective, and the other was lying on the ground, looking up at his perspective.

The Soul Clone contract was successful!

The second sight and sensory system was the electric eel’s!

However, the quality of the second image was very blurry. He could barely make out the outlines of the both of them from the eel’s perspective.

The electric eel was super short-sighted.

The electric eel lived in turbid rivers, so the function of its eyes was minimal and its degeneration was severe.

The electric eel mainly relied on releasing a weak current to form an Electric Field around its body — which was similar to radar sonar — to detect enemies and prey.

With the success of the electric eel’s contract, Chu Lingjun found that a summoning space had subtly appeared in his mind.

Chu Lingjun waved his hand, and the air in front of him rippled. A door slowly opened, showing an empty space. Chu Lingjun put the electric eel into the summoning space.

[Name: Electric Eel]

[Vitality: 6]

[Spirit: 25]

[Level: Ungraded]

[Experience: 3/100]

[Talent: Lightning Control]

[Skills: Electric Discharge (12/100), Electric Field (13/100)]

After successfully contracting the electric eel, Chu Lingjun found that his vitality did not change, but his spirit had increased by 5 points.

A clear stream of water flowed from the electric eel back to Chu Lingjun. Chu Lingjun immediately felt that his mental thinking became more agile, and his memory became clearer.

“For the most important thing…”

Chu Lingjun murmured softly. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power of his clone.

In the next second, a blue arc of lightning that was ten centimeters long instantly bounced out of Chu Lingjun’s hand and exploded in the air!

This feeling was very magical!

Although it was the power of the electric eel clone, Chu Lingjun could use it as easily as using his own hands and feet!

The two of them were now considered one.

“Yes! Success!” Chu Lingjun was ecstatic!

From this moment on, he could use lightning powers!

“Light! Bright!”

Chu Yue, who had been in a daze, excitedly clapped when she saw the electric arc in Chu Lingjun’s hand.

Chu Lingjun smiled brightly. He put away the electric light in his hand and gently rubbed Chu Yue’s head. “Yes, Chu Yue, our family will have a brighter future starting today. Let there be light.”

After successfully contracting the electric eel, Chu Lingjun was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he pushed Chu Yue toward the town’s central park.

According to the information on the panel, there were several ways for his electric eel to gain experience and evolve — cultivation, eating, and fighting.

Soon, they arrived at a park. It was the last day of the summer vacation, and the park was very lively. Everyone was enjoying the last days of the holiday.

Chu Lingjun pushed Chu Yue to Quicksand Lake in the center of the park. The surface of the lake rippled with blue waves, birds chirped, and the sunlight shone all around the place.

Chu Yue shouted happily. This scene caused many people around to cast strange looks at her.

Chu Lingjun didn’t seem to notice it, and he echoed Chu Yue’s laughter as if no one else was around.

When they arrived at the lake, there were still many people setting animals free into the lake.

There were soft-shelled turtles, Brazilian tortoises, carps, loaches, blackfish, eels, snakeheads, and so on.

Chu Lingjun was taken aback after taking a look because he saw two creatures that were not suitable to be released — brazilian tortoises and snakeheads.

Brazilian tortoises had strong reproductive abilities and a high survival rate. Their ability to hunt for food and snatch food was stronger than any native tortoises here. Once they’re released, they would overtake the entire ecosystem and erode ecological resources.

The same was true for the snakeheads. They were ferocious, had strong reproductive abilities, and had a huge appetite. They would often eat all the other fish in a lake or pond, even their own younglings.

Carelessly setting these animals free into public lakes was not something that was encouraged. If one accidentally set the wrong animal free, it would cause devastating damages to the local environment!

Chu Lingjun shook his head and pushed Chu Yue to a remote corner of the lake. He then released the electric eel from the summoning space.

“Alright, guess I’ll be carrying out a good deed today! Protecting the ecological environment is everyone’s responsibility!”
