"Huh?" Gao Peng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "I appreciate your kindness, but Da Zi is the only thing my parents left me as a memento. It has also accompanied me for three whole years. I have decided that it will be my first familiar."
Uncle Liu paused. Da Zi, who was standing at Gao Peng's feet, seemed to understand Uncle Liu's words. It hissed angrily, baring its fangs and claws at Uncle Liu.
"Okay, quiet down." Gao Peng scolded Da Zi. Da Zi looked at its master with a wronged expression, then lay down behind Gao Peng, with its back facing Uncle Liu.
After talking with Uncle Liu for a while, Gao Peng took Da Zi upstairs. He took out his key card and swiped it in front of the door on the first floor. Beep —
Looking at Gao Peng's back, and then looking at Da Zi, Uncle Liu sighed and smacked his lips. "Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede … Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede it is. It doesn't take up much soul space anyway. Hmm … Should I tell Old Jiang now?"
After hesitating for a long time, Uncle Liu finally sighed. "Forget it. That old fogey is as stubborn as a bull. I'll tell him after Little Peng signs the contract."
When he passed by the second floor, there was a rustling sound at the door. Gao Peng saw a gray shadow poke its head out of the window at the top of the stairs, quietly looking at him.
Da Zi hissed angrily, and the gray shadow disappeared as if its butt was on fire.
Back in his room, Gao Peng closed the door and put down his bag, then walked into the kitchen.
When new players signed a Blood Contract, they needed a drop of blood from their left ring finger as a medium. Of course, if they didn't have a ring finger, a drop of blood from their heart would have the same effect.
In his left hand was a bottle of disinfectant alcohol that Gao Peng had bought on the way back. He poured the entire bottle of alcohol into a bowl, then smoked it with cotton and wiped the surface of the boning knife back and forth.
Gao Peng only stopped when the boning knife turned into a silver-white arc.
Gao Peng then placed the boning knife on the whetstone, making a soft rustling sound. He poured water on it, and it was as if a crescent moon was being polished. Gao Peng could even see his own face clearly on the blade.
Whoosh. He let out a long sigh. The reason he did this was because he was afraid of pain … and he was also afraid of tetanus infection. This was because he had used the boning knife many times in the past, so it was inevitable that the surface would be contaminated with bacteria.
Clenching his teeth, he gently ran the ring finger of his left hand across the blade.
A wound that was thinner than a strand of hair appeared. With the force of gravity, a drop of dark red blood rolled out from the wound.
"Da Zi, come here quickly!" Gao Peng hurriedly shouted.
A crisp sound came from the living room, as if countless knuckles were knocking on a steel plate.
Gao Peng closed his eyes. As he silently recited the contract, he pressed the ring finger of his left hand on Da Zi's head.
Originally, when he closed his eyes, it was pitch black, but when he placed his finger on Da Zi's head, the cold touch made Gao Peng's heart ripple.
He seemed to hear some noises in the dark.
The sounds were very clear, but also very mixed. It was as if countless people were whispering in his ear.
"I'm so hungry …"
"Why isn't it time to eat yet …"
"Stupid master, is he trying to starve me to death?"
"I'm so hungry …"
These were the only thoughts that came back and forth. They were very simple and very pure.
This, this was what Da Zi was thinking? Could it be that he had communicated with Da Zi's mind?
"Da Zi?" Gao Peng tried to send out his thoughts.
"Hmm?!" All the noisy thoughts were swept away and turned into a unified thought. "Who are you?"
No wonder monster trainers and familiars could communicate telepathically and command them to do some complicated actions. So this was the reason.
However, time was limited. Now was not the time to chat. Gao Peng hurriedly communicated with Da Zi. "I want to sign a Blood Contract with you. Are you willing to be my partner?"
In the black mind, a blood-red parchment scroll appeared. There were golden flames burning on the parchment scroll.
Even the most stupid creature could instantly understand the contents of the Blood Contract.
Then, Gao Peng saw the Blood Contract burn up and disappear into the depths of the void. This was the sign that the Blood Contract had been successfully signed.
Without any hesitation or hesitation, it chose to trust him completely and signed the Blood Contract directly.
Gao Peng's heart warmed.
He released the ring finger on his left hand and opened his eyes again. Da Zi's voice quickly sounded in his mind. "I'm hungry! I'm hungry! "
Da Zi bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It stared fiercely at Gao Peng, the two antennae on its head swaying non-stop.
A touch of warmth appeared on Gao Peng's cold face. "Okay, let's eat dinner."
Then, he turned around and took out white radishes, apples, and frozen pork from the fridge.
He washed the vegetables and fruits with water and boiled water. The kitchen was buzzing with activity.
Not long after, a fragrant stew was cooked and placed in a steel bowl.
It still took a lot of time to cook the frozen pork completely, so the pork in the steel bowl was only slightly cooked. However, Gao Peng only heated the pork. Feeding Da Zi frozen pork would inevitably lead to a stomachache, so it was fine to keep the food at room temperature.
"Yummy, yummy!" Da Zi ate heartily. As it ate, it secretly looked up at Gao Peng from time to time.
Gao Peng also cooked a bowl of vegetarian noodles for himself. He sprinkled a layer of chopped green onions on top, and a thick fragrance wafted in the kitchen.
Then, Da Zi suddenly stopped eating. It looked up in shock at the noodles in Gao Peng's hands.
The corner of Gao Peng's mouth twitched. He silently turned around and was about to continue eating when he heard the sound of something crawling.
Then, he saw a purple figure crawling in front of him, looking at him eagerly.
"Hey, you're a centipede." Gao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hiss!" Da Zi was bluffing. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws to scare Gao Peng.
"Okay, okay, okay. Here you go. If you get a stomachache, don't make a fuss." Gao Peng put the bowl on the floor.
Da Zi had no intention of replying. It pounced on the bowl and wolfed down the noodles. Gao Peng could feel a steady stream of happiness flowing into him.
Gao Peng cooked another bowl of noodles for himself. After a moment of hesitation, he began to consider upgrading Da Zi's grade.
To upgrade Da Zi to Elite grade, he needed 500 grams of Hundred-Year Thunderstruck Wood, a Level-10 Thunder Monster Core Crystal, and ten stalks of Shady Grass.
Among them, the most expensive was the Monster Core Crystal. Level-1 to 10 were Normal-tier monsters, while Level-11 to 20 were Elite-tier monsters.
Moreover, it had to be a rare Thunder Monster. The most common elements were Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. This was because the five elements were the most basic and common elements. Even among the rare elements, Thunder was one of the rarer elements.
The cheapest Thunder Monster Core Crystal cost 10 Alliance Credits. It was almost enough to buy a living Familiar.
Shady Grass was a special type of grass that grew in areas with dense Yin energy. Powerful Yin-type monsters would be attracted to areas with dense Yin energy. Therefore, it wasn't easy to harvest it.
Gao Peng specifically went to inquire about the price. One stalk of Shady Grass cost 200 Alliance Credits. Ten stalks would cost 2,000 Alliance Credits. However, this price was a little too high. This was because Shady Grass had no other uses other than as high-grade food for Yin-type, Darkness-type, and Corpse-type monsters. If he bought ten stalks at once, it should be much cheaper.
