Elijah arrived at the dock and indeed saw a yacht approaching from a distance. Near the yacht, a huge shark was swimming back and forth—none other than Whitey, under his control.
Whitey recognized Sophia's yacht and didn't attack, instead swimming nearby. As soon as Elijah appeared on the dock, Whitey abandoned the yacht and swam directly towards him.
anwhile, the yacht began to slow down, preparing to dock. Whitey reached Elijah first, opening its mouth wide, seemingly seeking food. Elijah scratched his head; through the Seed of Consciousness, he sensed Whitey wanted the sa type of zombie flesh it had eaten last ti. But first-tier zombies weren't sothing Whitey could easily find.
Ah, right!
He could cultivate them himself!
However, he hadn't prepared any mutant zombie flesh for Whitey this ti. Elijah could only placate Whitey, promising to provide it next ti. Reluctantly, Whitey subrged into the water, swishing its tail, and moved aside.
At this mont, Sophia, steering the yacht, slowly entered the dock. Before dropping anchor, Elijah jumped onto the yacht.
"What brings you here?" Hannah asked, surprised.
"I ca to discuss so things with Sophia," Elijah replied, then curiously added, "How was your day? Any catches?"
"If you're asking about the Spirit fish, no luck there, but we had quite a few other good catches!" Hannah said, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
Hmm, she's actually smiling. Must have caught sothing really good?! Elijah thought to himself.
"Elijah, Hannah sis was amazing today. She actually caught a huge wild yellowtail!" Sophia announced as she dropped the anchor and shut off the engines, stepping out.
"A wild yellowtail? That's really sothing! Let see!" Elijah walked over to the fish tank and indeed saw a large golden-colored fish with red lips and fine scales.
"Wow, it's huge!" Elijah exclaid. The fish was about a ter long and weighed at least eight pounds—an exceptionally large specin among yellowtails.
"No wonder Hannah's usually cool face has a smile now," Elijah remarked.
"If it were before the apocalypse, it would fetch a good price!" Sophia added enthusiastically.
"Yeah, it's my first ti seeing such a big yellowtail!" Hannah said with excitent.
"It's all thanks to the bait Sophia provided; otherwise, we wouldn't have caught so many fish!" After hearing Hannah's words, Elijah looked back at the fish tank and indeed found an unusually large number of fish inside. There were more than the three of them had caught together yesterday!
"Bait? What bait?" Elijah couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I ground up the innards of that Spirit fish from yesterday and mixed it into the bait. I wanted to see if this bait could attract Spirit fish..." Sophia admitted sowhat sheepishly.
"I didn't expect to catch Spirit fish, but it did attract many other fish to bite!" Hannah added.
"Well done!" Elijah praised them with a thumbs up. anwhile, he thought to himself that whether it was Spirit fish, spirit plants, or spirit beasts, any leftover bits and pieces from them were highly attractive to other animals.
As Elijah pondered, he watched the fish in the tank. "With all these fish, we won't have to worry about food for a long ti." He couldn't help but praise the two again before turning to his own purpose for coming here.
"Oh right, Sophia, I ca to find you because I wanted you to get acquainted with Whitey. Maybe you can try commanding it in the future!"
"? Command Whitey? Can I?" Sophia was surprised.
"It should be fine. Let's give it a try!" Elijah said, fishing out two fish from the tank and handing one to Sophia.
"Co on, feed Whitey so food and bond with it!" They all moved to the ship's railing. At Elijah's command, Whitey surfaced.
Nervously, Sophia threw the fish into Whitey's mouth and said, "Whitey, hello, I'm Sophia. Please teach from now on!"
"Um... you don't have to be so formal..." Elijah couldn't help but laugh, simultaneously recording Sophia's voice in Whitey's Seed of Consciousness and instructing Whitey to obey Sophia's commands.
Unlike zombies that imdiately lose control once they leave Elijah's control range, both Whitey and Yello were animals.
With the constraints of the Seed of Consciousness and the taming through feeding, Elijah believed Sophia could easily command Whitey even outside of his control range.
Even if she couldn't command it, at least she wouldn't be attacked by Whitey.
"Could you try making Whitey do sothing?" Elijah handed another fish to Sophia. Following Elijah's instructions, Sophia attempted to command Whitey.
Then ca the scene that shocked her: Whitey actually responded to her commands.
"It really listens to !" Sophia exclaid in amazent, jumping with joy.
"Did you use so ability on Whitey?" Hannah, who was watching from the sidelines, asked.
"Exactly. I've advanced to Tier 3 today, so I can exert so influence over controlled zombies and animals, making them obey soone else other than myself."
"You've reached Tier 3?" Now Hannah was also surprised.
"Yes, just this morning!"
"That's great!" Sophia felt waves of joy, laughing from the bottom of her heart. Elijah briefly ntioned his Tier 3 advancent and then let Sophia practice training Whitey for a while.
As dusk approached, they didn't linger any longer, gathering the fish from the large tank and transferring them to the hotel's large fish pond before returning to the villa together.
Inside Elijah's villa, everyone was busy with their own tasks—so cooking, so discussing their experiences in zombie killing. When they saw Hannah walk in with a large yellowtail, everyone gathered around in surprise.
"Did you catch this?" Fiona asked in amazent.
"Yes!"
"It's huge!"
"This must be a yellowtail!"
Everyone chattered excitedly. Finally, Sophia offered to cook it for everyone, and only then did they disperse, all looking forward to the delicious al Sophia would prepare.
Sophia didn't disappoint. When she brought out the cooked yellowtail, its aroma filled the air, and everyone enjoyed a satisfying al.
After dinner, they gathered to chat for a while. Elijah and Fiona discussed their plans for future developnt. As the night grew late, everyone went their separate ways.
Watching Charlotte head upstairs with her long strides, Elijah thought about discussing tomorrow's combat training and any areas that needed improvent. So he followed her and entered her room.
