That night, Gao Peng received a call from He Ming. He Ming said that his wife was sick and needed him to accompany her at the hospital. He would not be able to come over the next day and hoped to reschedule.
"Captain He, I'm going to Yuzhou tomorrow. Let's talk about it when I have time." Gao Peng felt that it was too much of a coincidence. He had been thinking of an excuse, and here it was.
After ten minutes, the phone on the sofa rang again. Flamy, who had been running on the treadmill, quickly got off the treadmill and bounced to the edge of the sofa. She picked up the phone and ran to the kitchen.
Flamy handed the phone to the boss in a fawning manner.
Gao Peng took the phone. Flamy proudly puffed out her chest and looked at her master expectantly.
Gao Peng looked down at the phone. It was Director Chen. He picked up the call and waved at Flamy. "Looks like you have a lot of free time. Add an hour to your running time."
Flamy was instantly dumbfounded …
"You're back from Jiangnan?" Director Chen's hearty laughter came through the phone. "Are you free tomorrow? I have something to ask of you. It's definitely a good thing. "
"Director Chen, why did you leave the Monster Breeder Association?" Gao Peng was a little confused. Director Chen was an old president of the Monster Breeder Association. He had heard that he had been there since the Cataclysm.
Director Chen was a little dispirited at the mention of the Monster Breeder Association.
"It's changed. It's no longer the Monster Breeder Association that I used to look forward to. The Monster Breeder Association has become a subsidiary of the Monster Trainer League. The Monster Trainer League … "Director Chen hesitated for a long time. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he did not say it.
"But I heard that the establishment of the Monster Trainer League has something to do with the Allied Government?" Gao Peng asked.
Logically speaking, the Monster Trainer League should have a close relationship with the Allied Government.
Director Chen's laughter came through the phone. "There is a relationship, but it's not what you think. I'm working for the military now. Are you interested in joining the military? With your talent and the potential you have shown, it is not impossible for you to be in charge of a laboratory all by yourself, "Director Chen thought of Gao Peng being all alone in the world and decided to invite Gao Peng.
If it was before, Gao Peng might have considered it. However, after interacting with his grandfather, Gao Peng no longer had any thoughts of joining other forces.
Towards Gao Peng's decision, Director Chen felt a little regretful. Then, he pulled himself together and said, "It's alright. However, there's a big deal right now. Do you want to come? Hmm … I can't give you that many credits, but you can use other precious materials to pay off your debt."
Director Chen knew Gao Peng's character. He was tempting him with benefits.
"Director Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. I will do my best to help as long as it is within my means."
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. You should know about the Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworms that migrated from the Dali Desert, right? We've already chased the Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworms out of Chang 'an City, but a monster hunting squad discovered that there's a Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm leader among them that's about to advance to Lord-tier. "
Gao Peng was still digesting this news.
A Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm was about to advance to Lord-tier.
"You're preparing to capture this Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm leader that's about to advance?" Director Chen was currently representing the military, so this should be the military's wish.
"Yes, but not immediately. We're preparing to let this Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm successfully advance in rank. You should know that they originally lived in the Dali Desert, so as long as it succeeds in advancing, it'll definitely return to the Dali Desert."
Gao Peng was silent. The Dali Desert had already been conquered by the Desert Ruler. Although the Dali Desert had expanded slightly after the Cataclysm, for Lord-tier monsters, it definitely wasn't large enough for them to coexist.
When the time came, there would definitely be a huge battle. It looked like the Chang 'an military was prepared to sit back and reap the benefits.
But … what did such a huge matter have to do with him?
Gao Peng was a little annoyed. This level of battle was too far away from him. Even if he went, he'd just be a bystander.
"Don't worry, we won't participate in the Lord-tier battle. We're just preventing other monsters from interfering with the Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworm leader's advancement."
"Why me? Aren't there more powerful people in the military?"
"Ahem." Director Chen coughed awkwardly. "I was the one who proposed this plan, but the military's higher-ups didn't think much of it, so I had to rely on my own contacts. But don't worry, there's definitely no danger. I have a few military trainers on my side, and if the plan works, the Golden Deity will personally take action."
It looked like Director Chen wasn't doing well after joining the military … Gao Peng instantly understood.
"Alright, when will that earthworm advance in rank?"
"It should be in the next two days. According to our reports, many Shatuoman Man-eating Earthworms are already gathering somewhere. It should be preparing for the advancement. Don't worry, I'll take it as I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me, "Director Chen said gratefully. Ever since he stepped down from his position as the president of the Monster Breeder Association, he finally understood the fickleness of human nature.
In the past, many of his superficial friends had declined after hearing that a Lord-tier monster was involved.
.....
The next day, everyone gathered at Mirror Lake in the suburbs. When Gao Peng arrived, Director Chen and the rest were already there. Other than Director Chen, there were two other people in casual clothes. They were tall and fat, and their combined weight was definitely no less than 250 pounds.
"This is?" Director Chen looked hesitantly at the old man standing beside Gao Peng.
"He's an elder in my family …" Gao Peng introduced Uncle Liu to them.
"Good morning, everyone. Have you had breakfast? I have some steamed buns here. They're hot." Uncle Liu took over the conversation and extended the plastic bag in his hand. The thick smell of meat buns filled the air.
"No need, we've already eaten." Director Chen smiled awkwardly.
"Thank you." The fat man on the left chuckled as he reached into the bag and grabbed two big buns.
"Sir, you're so honest. I won't stand on ceremony." The fat man on the right also chuckled as he reached out and grabbed two big buns. He took a bite, and his mouth was covered in oil.
Director Chen was speechless.
"Don't be an outsider." Gao Peng saw the situation and tried to ease the awkwardness.
Uncle Liu was wearing a white singlet paired with a pair of grey shorts and army green sneakers. He looked very cool. No wonder Director Chen's expression was so strange when he saw Uncle Liu.
"My surname is Liu. My full name is Liu Shaotang." Uncle Liu introduced himself.
This was also the first time Gao Peng had heard Uncle Liu's full name. It was a rather elegant name. Gao Peng suddenly remembered that he had seen Uncle Liu in formal wear. He suddenly had a different feeling.
"I'm Li Qing." The fat man on the left introduced himself.
"I'm Qin Yi." The fat man on the right also said.
