This time, nothing went wrong during the evolution process. Gao Peng supervised the entire process.
Uncle Liu's method of feeding Da Zi materials without his permission made him unsure whether to laugh or cry.
It was like having a meal at home, and having someone constantly put food into your bowl when you were already full. Eat more, eat more.
His intentions were good, and his starting point was also good.
Even if they occasionally did bad things out of good intentions, there was no reason to blame them.
So …
Gao Peng squatted down and patted Da Zi's head. "Foodie! Don't eat everything you see in the future, okay? "
A black pot fell from the sky.
Da Zi was dumbfounded. It looked up at its master with deep shock in its eyes, as if to say, How can you be such a master? What does this have to do with me!
But it was in the process of evolving, and very quickly, it lay on the ground without any strength.
Da Zi's evolution process lasted until 11 o 'clock at night. Its body length had increased by tens of centimeters, and its body looked more symmetrical.
The shell on its back had also changed from dark purple to bright purple. If one looked closely, they could see some fine lightning patterns on the edge of the shell. The two antennae on its head hung limply on the ground without any strength.
[Monster Name]: Purple-Backed Thunder Centipede
[Monster Level]: Level 9
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Attribute]: Lightning/Poison
[Requirements for Promotion to Perfect Grade]: Grind Silverleaf Grass into powder, mix it with water, and consume it continuously for a week.
Not only was its grade upgraded to Excellent, even its species had changed. Its attributes had also changed from Poison and Yin to Lightning and Poison.
Finally, it was done. He looked at Da Zi, who was lying on the ground lazily. Its body was emitting some white smoke. Insects didn't sweat. They had many holes on their bodies, and when the holes opened, the water vapor in their bodies would evaporate. This was how they sweat.
Da Zi, lying on the ground, was like an overheated engine that was slowly dissipating heat. Steam was evaporating from its holes.
After he was done with Da Zi, there was still a dazed ape that he needed to work on.
He opened the black bag that he had brought back, and a chill came out of it. He could see many white ice cubes piled up in the bag, and some of the ice cubes had even turned into water and gathered at the bottom of the bag.
Bundles of pine needles were placed on top of the ice.
The pine needles were silver-gray in color. Each one was as thick as a pencil lead and more than ten centimeters long. The surface of the pine needles was covered with spots of silver light, like the stars in the sky.
This was the Yin Cedar, a mutation of the cedar before the end of the world. This kind of cedar preferred Yin and cold weather. In the Huaxia region, only the Himalayas, the Roof of the World, had this kind of cedar. However, this kind of pine was later widely planted all over the country, so it was not that rare.
After the Cataclysm, the cedars had mutated in different ways. One of the more valuable mutations was the Yin Cedar. The pine needles of the Yin Cedar were highly nutritious food for Ice, Yin, Undead, and Dark monsters.
Gao Peng bought a total of fifteen catties of Yin cedar needles, enough for Dumb to eat for a month.
Dumb was currently at the Perfect grade. If he continued to evolve, he would be at the legendary Epic grade. Gao Peng had never seen an Epic grade monster before. He had only heard about it in books and on television.
Moreover, Dumb had just finished evolving. He still needed to replenish his nutrients for a period of time before thinking about evolving into a Epic grade.
He took out half a catty of Yin Cedar needles and placed them in a steel bowl that Da Zi used to eat before handing it to Dumb. Dumb turned his head. The blue flames in the depths of his eyes flickered for a moment. He then lowered his head to look at the Yin Cedar needles. After a moment of hesitation, he stretched out his thick fingers to pick up a few pine needles and put them into his mouth.
His sharp teeth chewed on the pine needles. A silver-black mist came out of the pine needles and drifted into his skull. It looked like a skeleton smoking a big cigarette.
The mist was completely absorbed by the Soul Flame. As it absorbed the mist, the Soul Flame burned brighter and brighter. The Soul Flame seemed to be in a state of intense excitement.
After Dumb finished chewing on the pine needles, the light spots on the surface disappeared. The grayish-brown dried residue fell through the hole in Dumb's jaw.
It stiffly repeated the same action. It continued to take out the Yin Cedar needles from the bowl and chew them.
"Wait." Gao Peng watched for half a minute and stopped Dumb's actions. Dumb stared blankly and turned to look at Gao Peng. Gao Peng took out a broom and went forward to clean up the residue on the ground. He then took a trash can and placed it directly under Dumb's jaw.
"Okay, continue eating." Gao Peng nodded.
Dumb obeyed and continued eating. The residue continued to fall through the hole in its jaw. However, this time, it didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it all fell into the trash can.
"I'm so quick-witted!" Gao Peng praised himself for being quick-witted.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. It was close to twelve o 'clock.
He stretched lazily. It was still early. He would read a little before going to bed.
At night, the stars shone brightly outside the window. On the sofa, a boy hugged a book and fell asleep. Under the starlight, the boy's cheeks looked exceptionally soft.
Da Zi glanced at Gao Peng, got up, went into the bedroom, took out a blanket, and threw it over Gao Peng.
After that, it laid lazily on the ground next to Gao Peng. It didn't move an inch.
Dumb had also finished eating the Yin Cedar needles. Its fingers touched the bottom of the steel bowl and made a crisp sound. It tilted its head and looked at the empty bowl in confusion. It seemed to be wondering why it was gone. It maintained its tilted head. The flames in its eyes gradually calmed down. Finally, it condensed into an extremely small light blue spot that floated in the depths of its eyes. It fell asleep …
The next day, they walked to school.
Unlike the familiars that could be seen everywhere on the streets, there were no familiars in school. Familiars were basically not allowed to be brought to school.
"I don't agree. I definitely don't agree! The school is the last pure land for children. How can we let these monsters in?! "In the principal's office, the principal in a grey tunic argued.
Standing in front of his desk was the director of the Education Bureau of Chang 'an City.
The director looked at the principal with a complicated expression. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Teacher, this is not up to me. This is an order issued by the higher-ups a few days ago. All high schools in the world have to abide by it."
The principal of No. 3 High School was his former class teacher. He had always taken good care of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come personally to persuade him.
The principal looked straight at the director of the Education Bureau. After a long time, he let out a long sigh. At that moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.
"I'm not a stubborn antique. My wife has a familiar at home too. Although it looks like a pet, it's much more dangerous than a pet. Haven't they considered the threat it poses?"
"The higher-ups have mentioned that their method is to separate the junior high school and senior high school. The city just held a meeting this morning to discuss it. They decided to merge No. 7 High School and No. 3 High School, as well as the junior high school. No. 3 High School will continue to be the senior high school's teaching area, while No. 7 High School will become the junior high school's teaching area. At the same time, the freshmen will move to No. 7 High School's teaching area. Because basically, only the sophomores are 18 years old. "
"This way, they won't be skipping grades," the director of the Education Bureau told a cold joke.
"Well … that's good." The principal of No. 3 High School had a complicated expression. He seemed to have accepted this matter.
"Well, at the same time, there will be people from the military to be the new teachers."
The principal was horrified. He frowned. He smelled something different. "Is the situation now so tense?"
"Although the whole human race is constantly developing technology and training Monster Breeders, the current speed is still … too slow." The director of the Education Bureau said in a heavy tone, "In the real wild, countless monsters are crazily breeding and killing. Their evolution speed is generally faster than that of the familiars in the big cities. In the long run, when our technology is no longer a threat to them, it will really be too late. In peacetime, they are still children. But in ancient times of war, they are adults and can join the army."
"Protecting the country is not empty talk," the director of the Education Bureau said in a serious tone. Then he smiled and said, "But you don't have to tell the children about this. The situation at the front line is not tense yet. My youngest daughter was overjoyed when she heard the news. She thought she could bring her familiars to school to play."
"Well, I'll tell the teachers later." The principal nodded.
…
The curriculum in high school was very easy. Gao Peng had already finished all the high school studies by himself. Now, he was studying the university courses by himself. He even had time to read all kinds of extracurricular books.
This was also the reason why Murong Qiuye agreed to Gao Peng's request for leave so easily. To be honest, if Gao Peng was asked to take the college entrance examination now, there would be no problem at all.
The reason why Gao Peng was only fourth in the grade and not first was that his PE results were just barely passing …
The total PE score was 100 points. In the New Era, the PE score had been pulled up. The World Allied Government called on the children of the New Era to develop in all aspects, including morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and beauty. Not only did they have to have good grades, but they also had to have good health!
When he arrived at the classroom, Gao Peng immediately attracted everyone's attention. Gao Peng was not used to it. He went back to his seat and put down his bag.
Soon, the homeroom teacher came to the classroom to supervise the morning self-study. In the middle of the class, the grade director suddenly called Mr. Murong to gather at the grade department.
Mr. Murong left the classroom in a hurry. Seeing the teacher leave, the classroom, which had been quiet all this time, suddenly became lively, as if a switch had been turned on.
There was chatter, discussion, and banter.
"Student Gao Peng." Tan Qianjin's seat was right in front of Gao Peng. He turned around and put an arm on Gao Peng's desk. "I heard you passed the intermediate Monster Breeder exam?"
"Huh?" Gao Peng was surprised. How did he know?
