"You're smart. I won't pay you then." Director Chen's hearty laughter came from the other end of the line.
Gao Peng was stunned.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. Look at how greedy you are. Come over early. You should be done with your training by now," Director Chen said.
Gao Peng always felt that this Director Chen was too well-informed. Why was it that every time his training ended, Director Chen would call him like a timely rain?
In his mind, the image of a middle-aged man in his thirties staring at a video on his phone appeared vividly in his mind.
Because he had finished his field training early today, it was still early when he got home.
After resting for a while, he settled the familiars in the house and brought Abba downstairs. For the past few days, Abba and Dumb had been taking turns to be on duty. The parking space downstairs was not big, and it was a little cramped to accommodate two familiars at the same time. So Gao Peng decided to take turns.
Today it was Abba, tomorrow it would be Dumb. They sat in a row, one for each person.
They took a taxi to the Monster Breeder Association. With their previous experience, the receptionist was very familiar with Gao Peng. She smiled as she led the way.
Walking along the corridor, it was still the underground laboratory.
Director Chen saw Gao Peng and hurried forward. "You're here? Come take a look. "
In the underground laboratory, there were a few fat earthworms in glass containers. They were Shatuoman Man-Eating Earthworms, the giant earthworms that had suddenly appeared in the valley.
These giant earthworms lay lazily in the containers, wriggling from time to time to show that they were still alive.
Gao Peng suddenly felt that there had been a lot of things happening recently …
First it was the Gray Devil Spiders, followed by the Dead Leaf Locusts in the north, and then the Shatuoman Man-Eating Earthworms.
"It's okay. You'll get used to it. Actually, a large part of the Monster Breeder Association's work is to help the government research the weaknesses of these monsters and find ways to deal with them." Director Chen smiled.
Gao Peng looked at the busy researchers. "Have you always been this busy?"
"You can't possibly be thinking that these troubles have only happened recently, right?" Director Chen could see the doubt in Gao Peng's eyes and could not help but laugh.
"These problems have always been there. The monsters are always restless. They won't stay in one place and not move like in the game.
Although most monsters had a fixed territory, there were still some mobile monsters that often caused trouble for the base city.
Sometimes, some monsters will escape and look for new territory after losing the fight for territory. At this time, it is very likely that they will have conflicts with human base cities, such as these Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms. "
Director Chen squatted down outside the glass container and observed the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm inside.
As if it had sensed the smell of fresh flesh and blood, the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm that had been lying quietly in the container suddenly shook its head and leaned its head against the glass. The top of its head suddenly opened, revealing a chrysanthemum-like mouthpart. It kept shaking its head against the glass, leaving a pale yellow liquid on the glass.
"Originally, these Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms lived in the Dali Desert, about a hundred kilometers northeast of Chang 'an City. Because of the Cataclysm, the surface area of Earth Star expanded, causing the distance between the Dali Desert and Chang' an City to increase. Now it is more than two hundred kilometers. These Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms are creatures that are more territorial. Under normal circumstances, they will not leave their territory easily." Director Chen sighed.
"It seems that some new and powerful monster has appeared in the Dali Desert to chase these Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms away."
After speaking, Director Chen stood up and said to another researcher, "Little Wang, are the results of the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm's salt resistance out?"
"Teacher, the results of the salt resistance are out. The Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm's salt resistance is much higher than that of ordinary earthworms. It is very difficult to rely on salt to dehydrate it," the researcher called Little Wang said to Director Chen.
Gao Peng looked at the busy laboratory and suddenly fell silent.
There was no such thing as peace and quiet. It was just someone carrying the burden for you. This world was never as bright and beautiful as it appeared to be.
Many people in the outside world even thought that this was a chance for humanity to rise up. This was because the peaceful and relatively stable situation gave them this misconception.
Even Gao Peng admitted that he had thought this before. Now, it seemed that there was just someone secretly contributing.
Director Chen walked over and said to Gao Peng, "We have basically all the experimental equipment from the outside world here. If there is anything you lack, just let me know. There are several Shatuo Man-eating Earthworms in the container. You can choose any one of them to be your experimental material."
Gao Peng nodded and did not say much. He took out the appropriate tools from the experiment table and put them on. As he was putting on the gloves, Gao Peng suddenly asked Director Chen, "Director Chen, why … hmm … are you so concerned about me?" Gao Peng asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
He did not think that his charm was that great.
He also believed that Director Chen was not Wen Xiang.
"There is no such thing as concern. You have talent. That is why I am concerned about you. Although it is a little realistic, we Monster Breeders value talent the most." Director Chen smiled.
"I know that children of your age like to think too much. Monster Breeders value talent more than any other profession. After all, we rely on talent to explore this path …"
Just then, the sound of the elevator operating could be heard. The elevator installed in the underground laboratory hall rang. The elevator door slowly opened and a person walked out.
Gao Peng was surprised to find that he actually knew this person. It was Chief Instructor Chen.
Head Instructor Chen strode over and took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Director Chen. He nodded and hesitated for a moment. "Get the results of your experiment out as soon as possible. The thing that appeared in the Dali Desert … is not good."
Chief Instructor Chen, Director Chen …
Gao Peng's gaze moved left and right between the two of them. Only then did he realize that the two of them looked similar. It was just that Chief Instructor Chen looked slightly younger.
Chief Instructor Chen turned his head and paused on Gao Peng. He seemed to recognize Gao Peng.
He nodded at Gao Peng and said, "Good luck." After that, he turned and left.
Although Gao Peng had already seen the weakness of the Shatuo Man-eating Earthworm, he could not just do it overnight. This kind of thing required a process. Gao Peng treated it as practice for him to operate the machine.
During the experiment, Gao Peng asked, "Director, do you know why the Earth Star has grown bigger, but why the city has not split apart? Logically speaking, if the surface area is larger, more than half of the original infrastructure should collapse. Moreover, if the Earth's volume is larger, the gravitational force or gravity should be stronger. However, I feel that there is no substantial change. This is not scientific. "
The textbooks did not mention such things. It was a taboo.
