After Sebastian left the Draconic Lizard kingdom, while he navigated back to the location where Verni and the others rested, he decided to do something that he's been craving since the battle with Octumpedam ended.

  [You have triggered adaptation: Map.]

  [Explored Regions: Wardrobe Ocean Volcano; Leroy Cave Expanse.]

  [Host has created a unique special achievement location tab.]

  [Special tab name: Conqueror!]

  [Conquered Location: Octumpedam Seamount.]

  Sebastian decided to create this immediately after he killed Octumpedam. Even if the system could recognize his achievement of having caused the downfall of a predator family, who was he not to recognize it?

  By killing the ruling alpha of the seamount, he categorized it as him having conquered the seamount which was in a sense true.

  Killing Octumpedam and uprooting the ruling Crocodile family was the first of many conquests that he would be engaged in, so he found it right to record them all for future reference.

  After this was done, he felt a lot satisfied as he swam happily across the water towards the location where Verni and the others were resting.

  As he swam, he could not help but think about his possible encounter with a family of Great Whites very soon. He felt hyped for the encounter, he felt thrilled, it was like he was going on a blind date for the first time.

  What type of eccentric Great Whites would he meet? Would some of them be as big as a seamount? Would there be baby Great Whites around? Were the babies cute? Would some of them have triple claspers? 

  "Huh? F*ck! Don't think of that". He chided himself.

  In the end, he felt a little lucky that he's interacted extensively with Verni before so it would feel less awkward when he met these new Great Whites.

  After his thoughts cleared up, he remembered another thing.

  [System Daily target: Kill and eat 20 Yeti Crabs- Uncompleted.]

  [Target Reward: 50 Adaptation points.]

  [System da: Kill and eat 5 Tiger Sharks- Uncompleted.]

  [Target Reward: 250 Adaptation points.]

  [System Monthly target: Kill 2 Orcas and 4 Mammoth Crocodiles- Uncompleted.]

  [Target Reward: 1000 Adaptation points.]

  [System Yearly target: Kill the alpha of this Ocean Volcano region.]

  [Target Reward: 20,000 Adaptation points and a special system reward.]

  [Insane and Impossible targets are not tabulated. Host should identify suitable targets himself, and the system will evaluate host's options.]

  His yearly target was virtually impossible for him to complete now. Going with the power of Old Mak, he felt that the alpha of this region would at least be a Red tier monster who he had 0 chances against now in a fair battle.

  For his monthly target, it was not impossible but it required a fair bit of luck on his part to encounter both predators, this was even more prominent when the surviving Crocodiles already migrated.

  Because this seasonal reward system perk appeared after he killed the last Crocodile, none of those kills were counted for it.

  And besides, Orcas were not predators that he could see here just by seeking them. They were not as numerous as Crabs and he was not even sure that some resided in this volcano region which only decreased his chances further.

  For his weekly target, it was the same as the monthly target, he needed a fair bit of luck to encounter even one. 

  Apart from the Tiger Shark that he encountered just after reincarnating, he had never encountered another which was enough to tell the difficulty and incredulity of the task. 

  His daily target was the only one that was currently feeling feasible. In this seamount, finding Yeti Crabs was not hard, he just had to look for it.

  Without hesitation, he started looking for it while he swam towards the location of the resting sharks.

  [You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

  With this vision activated, his sight was countless times sharper as he monitored the surrounding water at a 360% angle everywhere.

  It only took him about 40 seconds before he found his first prey, 2 Yeti Crabs were crawling through the seabed floor of the seamount slowly.

  [You have activated skill: Magic Teeth.]

  Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

  For the first time in a while, he could use this skill against normal opponents to enjoy how OP it was. Only the flying teeth were required to kill them both.

  [You have killed a mutated Yeti Crab- Level 13: You have gained Experience.]

  [You have gained 6 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

  [You have killed a mutated Yeti Crab- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]

  [You have gained 4 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

  For the next few minutes after this, Sebastian encountered no other Yeti Crab to his disappointment. With nothing else to do, mid-swim, he started thinking of his next evolution.

  It seemed like just yesterday since he evolved to the orange tier and now, he was already level 30, ready and fresh to evolve to the next tier.

  Before, it felt like an unreachable goal but it didn't take him long to achieve it, he felt surreal. Now all he needed was to kill more creatures to fill that remaining experience points then think of how to evolve.

  If it was before, he would have thought 'then evolve instead of think of how to evolve' but the times were no longer the same.

  With the example of the mutated Great White Shark turned Goblin Shark, Teeth and the warning of his system, he knew better than to just jump forward impatiently to evolve to the purple tier.

  The purple tier was a great dividing line among the tiers, he needed to be extremely careful to make sure that he succeeded at a go.

  Right now though, he didn't have much experience about it yet which was one of the reasons why he was grateful for having met a Great White Shark family at this point in time.

  He already asked his system but even it couldn't provide a comprehensive answer plain enough for him like he needed. 

  And besides, the old man in his system told him not too long ago to only ask him specifically when the question is really important or urgent.

  Apparently, the old man lost power each time that he interacted with him.

  These and a lot of other reasons were why he always wanted to meet other Great Whites. Amid his thoughts, it did not take him long before he met the sharks.

  "Big bro, you're back?"
