Leveling Up With My Pet

346 It's My Pride !!



In the heart of the bustling city stood a magnificent skyscraper stretching high into the heavens with 98 floors. With its striking octagonal shape, the Universal Building epitomized the epitome of architectural beauty. From the first floor up to the 90th floor, each level boasted an expansive area exceeding 2,600 square meters.

The space gradually diminished as one ascended to the 91st floor through the 98th floor. For instance, the 91st floor covered an area of 2,300 square meters, a mere two to three hundred square meters more petite than its predecessor on the 90th floor. Further up, as one reached the 98th floor, the area reduced significantly to a mere seven or eight hundred square meters.

The building showcased its splendour with elegant glass exterior walls spanning from the ground floor to the topmost level. And crowning the building, perched above the 98th floor, was a helipad designed to facilitate the landing and takeoff of helicopters.

Liu Yong, gazing upward, marvelled at the resplendence of his creation—the Universal Building—finding it even more captivating than its initial design renderings. While lost in admiration, his trance was interrupted by a voice.

"Whose car is this? You can't park here!" exclaimed a man who appeared to be the property owner, pointing at a Rolls-Royce and shouting.

Liu Yong and his companion, Chen Hu, turned their attention towards the commotion. Liu Yong smiled and gestured to Chen Hu, saying, "It seems we'll have to park the car in the underground garage."

Chen Hu hastily replied, "Boss, I'll take care of parking the car."

"Very well," Liu Yong nodded, "I'll be waiting for you on the 98th floor."

As they were about to take a step, a person resembling a property manager hurriedly approached, scolding, "Xiao Zhang, have you gone mad? This is a Rolls-Royce!"

Liu Yong, now standing beside the car, smiled and said, "It's alright. Parking here is not appropriate, and he did the right thing."

The property manager stared at Liu Yong, his expression transforming into one of astonishment. "You're Mr. Liu, aren't you? The owner of this building!"

Overwhelmed with joy, the property manager forgot his words momentarily, remaining motionless. Only when Liu Yong entered the building's first-floor lobby, and Chen Hu drove the car into the underground garage the property manager snapped back to reality.

Perplexed, the property manager Xiao Zhang couldn't help but inquire, "Director, who is this Liu person you were talking about? Is he someone important?"

The property manager looked dissatisfied at Xiao Zhang before responding, "That was Liu Yong, the boss of Global Shipping Group and the owner of this very building!"

Xiao Zhang was left dumbfounded, his mouth agape. He knew the significance of Liu Yong, the prominent figure behind the Universal Seaman Group. To witness his presence firsthand and even ask his car to be moved... It was a remarkable encounter. Thoughts raced through Xiao Zhang's mind as he realized he had a great story to share with his colleagues.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong stepped into the lavishly decorated lobby on the first floor of the building. The floor shimmered, reflecting the grandeur of its crystal chandeliers suspended above, seemingly elevating the hall's height. The octagonal shape of the Universal Building granted it four spacious entrances on the east, south, west, and north sides, each spanning over 400 square meters. Luxurious and elegant, the halls epitomized opulence.

While the first-floor halls were almost complete in their decoration, the rest of the floors were still undergoing renovation. However, the 91st to 98th floors had made significant progress and were nearing completion. The security captain stationed in the lobby recognized Liu Yong and hurriedly approached, opening the door to the exclusive elevator.

The elevator possessed only a few buttons: B1, B2, B3, 1, and floors 91 to 98. It provided direct access to the upper floors while stopping at the first, second, and third underground levels, bypassing the other floors altogether.

The management of the Universal Building had been entrusted to a reputable real estate company renowned for its strength and credibility in Huahai City. The company had recently taken over the management and begun overseeing the building's operations, ensuring professional and efficient property management.

Declining the security captain's company, Liu Yong entered the elevator and pressed the "98" button, swiftly ascending to the top floor—the 98th floor. Stepping out of the elevator, Liu Yong's eyes widened in awe.

Even though he had received reports from Qiu Yang, he hadn't expected the grandeur of the decoration to be so overwhelming. The floor exuded an aura akin to a luxury five-star hotel, surpassing the standards set for a Grade A office building.

While the first to 90th floors adhered to the Grade A office building standards, the 91st to 97th floors exceeded those expectations, and the 98th floor boasted an even higher level of extravagance. The space felt spacious and open, though comparatively more minor, spanning 700 to 800 square meters.

Within this area, there were a few large offices, two reception rooms, two meeting rooms—one large and one small—and several lavatories. The small meeting room comfortably accommodated 20 to 30 people and, despite its size, featured an exceptionally high standard of decoration, complete with advanced conference equipment.

"Boss, I'm here," announced Chen Hu, having parked the car and joining Liu Yong on the 98th floor.

Liu Yong waved his hand and replied, "Come, let's explore this floor together."

Chen Hu nodded, accompanying Liu Yong as they toured the 98th floor. Throughout the tour, Chen Hu couldn't help but ponder the floor's purpose, finding its ambience remarkably distinct, possibly reserved for the company's top executives.

Having thoroughly examined the floor, Liu Yong pushed open the door to the president's office, revealing an expanse of space that immediately imparted a sense of grandeur. While the primary decorations were complete, some office equipment, such as a magnificent large desk crafted from a single piece of red sandalwood, remained in the customization process, promising unparalleled luxury.

Spanning over 200 square meters, the office dwarfed Liu Yong's current workspace. The floor boasted precious mahogany flooring, and its walls would soon showcase renowned artworks. In addition to office equipment, the room would be adorned with exquisite antiques and high-end handicrafts.

Radiating spaciousness and brightness, the office captivated Liu Yong. Intrigued, he walked towards the vast French windows, pulling back the curtains. Through the glass, he beheld a commanding view.

From his elevated perspective, the sprawling streets of Huahai City lay below, with other buildings appearing minuscule, resembling tiny hills. With a sense of openness and pride, Liu Yong felt an indescribable sensation of being a king overseeing his domain.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the North Pacific Ocean, the Overlord, having devoured the giant octopus it had hunted, found itself growing hungry once again. The Overlord carried its big spear and swam toward a massive hole in the seabed plain.

Entering the cavernous entrance, the Overlord joined the abyss with impressive speed. Within moments, it had descended from a depth of over 3,000 meters to surpass 5,000 meters. Giant octopuses were commonly found at this depth, well within the Overlord's exceptional sensory range.
