"Da Zi! Come out quickly, was that you!? "Gao Peng shouted excitedly as he returned to the bedroom.
Hearing its master's voice, the Da Zi Gao Peng spoke of lazily lay on the ground for a while. Then, under Gao Peng's repeated urging, it weakly crawled out from under the sofa.
Its dark purple shell gave off a deep and blurry color under the light. Its pale yellow limbs rubbed against the floor and made a crisp sound, like the sound of fingers tapping on a table.
Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede. This was the Da Zi Gao Peng spoke of.
Because of its large size and the fact that it looked like a purple centipede … Well, it was actually a giant centipede.
This Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede was the only pet his parents had left him.
Gao Peng still remembered that Da Zi was brought back by his parents on the third day of Earth Star's mutation. At that time, Da Zi was far smaller than it was now. It was only the length of a chopstick.
At that time, the shell on Da Zi's back was also a light purple and slightly pink. It looked a little cute.
Gao Peng shook his head and expelled this strange thought from his mind. He lowered his head and looked at the current Da Zi.
Its body was about two meters long and the width of a palm. A pair of ferocious mouthparts on its head constantly opened and closed. It was not cute at all. Even if it walked out during the day, it would scare an old woman to tears.
Its black eyes were completely decorative. Gao Peng knew that Da Zi's eyesight was very poor. Its daily movements depended on the constantly swaying dark purple tentacles on its head.
This pair of tentacles could distinguish between smells and sound.
Although Da Zi looked ferocious, Gao Peng was not afraid at all. After all, he watched this big guy grow up and lived under the same roof with him for three whole years. More importantly, this was the last pet his parents had left him.
"Da Zi, did you scare that spider away just now?" Gao Peng squatted down and curiously touched Da Zi's cold head.
It was cold to the touch, as if he was touching a piece of cold steel.
Da Zi didn't answer him. The purple tentacles on his head were still swaying slightly. Gao Peng didn't mind. Da Zi's intelligence wasn't high. It was only about the intelligence of a two or three-year-old child.
He couldn't understand some complicated language, but he could still understand some simple instructions, such as biting him, playing dead, and twisting three times.
Although Da Zi didn't answer him, Bai Yu knew that the angry roar from before came from Da Zi. After living together for so many years, he was very familiar with Da Zi's voice.
Monsters had a strong sense of territory. Although Da Zi was very peaceful, according to his teacher's knowledge, the Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede was an extremely ferocious monster.
Thinking of this, Gao Peng patted his head. Could it be that Teacher Zhang was lying to him again? Gao Peng thought to himself suspiciously.
Da Zi looked so gentle! He looked down at Da Zi and gently tugged at Da Zi's dark purple tentacles. They were a little elastic, like two plastic springs.
Da Zi's dark eyes rolled up and looked at Gao Peng. It continued to lie down weakly. Master was really boring.
Gao Peng found it hard to believe that such a lazy guy was a ferocious monster.
Looking at Da Zi at his feet, Gao Peng hesitated for a moment, then focused on Da Zi in front of him.
As Gao Peng stared at Da Zi, a row of data that only Gao Peng could see appeared in front of his eyes.
[Monster Name]: Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede
[Monster Level]: Level 5
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attribute]: Yin/Poison
[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Happy)
[Monster Weakness]: Electric
[Requirements for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: Electric Monster Core Crystal above Level 10 (excluding Level 10), 500 grams of Hundred-Year Thunderstruck Wood, 10 stalks of Shady Grass (Instructions: …)
Gao Peng was a little stunned. After his 18th birthday, he had inexplicably gained this ability, which allowed him to see some of the monster's attributes, such as the attributes in front of him.
Every monster's attributes were different, such as the little spider raised by Granny Chen.
[Monster Name]: Striped Gray Plate Spider
[Monster Level]: Level 3
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Attribute]: Wood
[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Happy)
[Monster Weakness]: Fire
[Requirements for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: …
Gao Peng's previous suicidal behavior was because he thought that burning paper balls could also be considered a fire attack, so in order to test the validity of this ability, he played a thrilling game. It was not because of anything else, but because he couldn't hold it in …
Wait, the monster's condition was happy? Was that little spider playing with him? It seemed to be having fun! Gao Peng's face darkened.
As for why he didn't test it on his own Da Zi, it was because he didn't want to, and it was also because it was difficult to find a lightning attack, unless he wanted to break a piece of wire and try it on Da Zi. But thinking about it, even if Da Zi's weakness wasn't lightning, it would still be burned to a crisp by the wire …
"Promotion to Excellent Grade …" Gao Peng muttered to himself, his eyes shining with excitement.
Excellent-grade monsters were very rare, and could be said to be one in a hundred. Of the same monster, even if there were a hundred of them, there might not be one Excellent-grade monster.
The difference between Excellent-grade and Normal-grade monsters was not only reflected in their strength. An Excellent-grade monster could fight two Normal-grade monsters at the same time and still not be at a disadvantage.
If it was promoted to Excellent-grade, could it still be promoted to Perfect-grade?
Most importantly, only Perfect-grade monsters could break through the legendary barrier and become Commander-grade monsters!
Commander-grade monsters were extremely powerful. For monsters of this level, he had only seen them on the internet and television. That kind of terrifying power was still unforgettable.
Unable to suppress his excitement, Gao Peng touched Da Zi's cold head and said in a firm voice, "Da Zi, I will definitely promote you to Excellent-grade!"
To Gao Peng, Da Zi was not only his friend, but also his companion. It had accompanied him through these three years of loneliness, and was also the only companion his parents had left him.
Gao Peng secretly clenched his fists, then loosened them. He got up and walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a piece of cold meat from the freezer. The hard meat was covered with bits and pieces of ice. He took a miniature steel axe from the cupboard and fixed the meat on a special wooden board.
"Dong, dong!"
The steel axe chopped the meat with force, and the ice on the meat's surface shook and splashed everywhere.
After chopping the meat into six smaller pieces, he took out a large stainless steel bowl and swept the pieces of meat into the steel bowl with a gentle sweep of the axe.
He then took out a few carrots from the refrigerator, washed them, and chopped them into large pieces before throwing them into the steel bowl.
This was Da Zi's dinner for the night. Da Zi needed to eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
Moreover, Da Zi's food was simple and crude. Almost every meal was meat with carrots or meat with potatoes.
Da Zi's diet was very varied. When he first started feeding Da Zi, Gao Peng was very careful and didn't know how to raise it. After all, no one had ever raised something like a centipede before.
After searching online for information, Gao Peng learned that centipedes were creatures that ate a wide variety of foods. They especially liked to eat various insects, such as mealworms, crickets, scarabs, termites, cicadas, dragonflies, spiders, flies, bees, and their eggs, pupae, and larvae. At the same time, they also ate worms, earthworms, snails, and the meat, organs, blood, and cartilage of various livestock and aquatic animals. They also ate fruit peels, potatoes, carrots, tender vegetables, milk, and bread.
However, Gao Peng's personality was somewhat lazy. If he raised Da Zi with organs and raw meat, not only would it be extremely smelly, it would also be very difficult to clean and tidy up.
As for insects, Gao Peng initially caught some in the neighborhood's garden and the city's streets to feed Da Zi. However, as Da Zi's body grew bigger and bigger, Gao Peng realized that this method was not feasible. After working himself to death for half a day, he still couldn't even fill Da Zi's stomach. Meat was simpler and cruder, and he could buy it in large quantities from the market.
As for buying various insects from the market, well, Gao Peng admitted that if he bought insects for every meal, he really wouldn't be able to afford to raise Da Zi. It was too expensive!
After Gao Peng's parents passed away, Gao Peng received a large sum of money from the insurance company. In addition to his parents' savings and the monthly aid given to orphans by the government, Gao Peng could at least live out the rest of his life in peace.
However, he could only live out the rest of his life as an ordinary person.
