"Da Zi, what are you doing? Get your ass back here!" Gao Peng scolded with a dark expression.
A purple bolt of lightning flashed across the mountains in the distance. It almost missed the mountain and landed on the grass in front of Gao Peng.
Da Zi glanced at Gao Peng in a panic, then turned to leave as if nothing had happened. "Stop right there!"
Da Zi froze when he heard Gao Peng's scolding. The two antennae on his head swayed wildly. What should I do … Did Gao Peng find out?
"What were you doing just now?" Gao Peng asked with a dark expression.
Da Zi turned his head with an innocent expression. "Hiss?"
I'm still crying!
Gao Peng walked up and lifted Da Zi's little paw. He pointed at the dirt and sawdust on the tip of his paw and asked, "What's this?"
"This is delicious!" Da Zi put his paw in his mouth and licked it clean. He then stared at Gao Peng with an innocent expression.
Gao Peng's eyes darkened. Ever since Abba came over, Da Zi liked to play with Abba every other day. This was actually a good thing. If Abba was a coward and Xiao Huang was a one-track mind, Da Zi was naughty and gluttonous.
After being lifted up by Gao Peng with one hand, Da Zi struggled with his paws in the air. "Let go of me, ugly Gao Peng."
"You only know how to bully Abba. Did you plant trees on Abba's back again?"
Da Zi's struggling paw froze in mid-air. He then closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.
"It's fine if you plant trees, but why do you always move a bunch of orange seeds to Abba's back!"
Da Zi's eyes widened. "Oranges are delicious. Us centipedes love oranges the most!"
After saying that, Da Zi quietly pried Gao Peng's hand away, turned around, and left sneakily. "Gao Peng, you stay here and don't move. I'll go get some orange trees and peel some oranges for you to eat …"
Gao Peng was both angry and amused. Ever since he learned how to surf the Internet, Da Zi had learned all these strange things online.
The situation had stabilized, but news about the Calamity Mountain Spider and King-tier subdued beasts were still brewing.
The people at the bottom did not know about this news so quickly. For some reason, the higher-ups were also trying to control the public opinion.
However, as long as one had the slightest bit of connections, they basically knew about this matter. In the end, paper couldn't contain the fire, and it was only a matter of time before everyone knew about it.
It was also because of this that many people came to visit Gao Peng and Ji Hanwu in the past few days. Some of them were relatives of the parents of Yuzhou University's classmates, but they were basically unrelated. They didn't have to come to find a job or anything. Some people just wanted to get acquainted with them.
The rise of the Southern Sky Group was already a foregone conclusion in the eyes of those with discerning eyes. Before this, the Southern Sky Group was already a large organization that occupied a large area. Now that it had two King-tier subdued beasts as its stabilizing force, it was only a matter of time before it became even more exaggerated.
Currently, the most popular product of the Southern Sky Group was the Familiar Evolution Reagent. The sales slogan was, "Our Chairman Ji's King-tier subdued beasts use the reagent we produced ourselves." However, countless customers believed in this logic … In just a few days, sales had increased by several times.
"Young Master, a lady by the name of Lin Xinrui is looking for you," the security guard at the entrance reported to Gao Peng.
"Bring her here."
Lin Xinrui brought her familiar to Gao Peng's laboratory. "Looks like you got a good harvest last time."
Lin Xinrui was the one who told him about the Platinum Hands, so Lin Xinrui was able to guess more than others. Gao Peng wasn't surprised.
Gao Peng smiled faintly and didn't explain.
He glanced at the familiar behind Lin Xinrui. It was a three-meter-long, golden-yellow creature that looked like a mantis shrimp.
Then, Gao Peng realized that it wasn't a mantis shrimp, but a cousin of the mantis shrimp, the bird-tailed mantis shrimp.
Although they were cousins, in the natural world, the combat power of these two creatures was like heaven and earth.
Before the Cataclysm, the bird-tailed mantis shrimp could shoot its claws out at a speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour. Its acceleration was faster than a .22 caliber pistol bullet. The high temperature generated by the friction in an instant could even cause electric sparks to appear in the surrounding water.
Other than that, the bird-tailed mantis shrimp also had a pair of very magical eyes that could see many things that humans couldn't. They could distinguish between linear polarized light, circular polarized light, infrared, ultraviolet, and so on.
This magical creature had existed before the Cataclysm, but after the Cataclysm, the bird-tailed mantis shrimp had evolved even further.
[Monster Name]: Golden-tailed Paradise Shrimp
[Monster Level]: Level 40
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Ability]: Muscle Burst Level 2
Shell Hardness Level 1
[Monster Attribute]: Metal
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Fire-type 2. The intersection of the third and fourth segments of the tail is relatively weak
[Ways to Advance to Perfect Grade]: 6
Its abilities seemed ordinary, and there wasn't much special about it. However, Gao Peng noticed that this Golden-Tailed Paradise Shrimp had two claws that were retracted under its body. They looked like a pair of converged mantis arms.
However, there was a layer of serrated barbs on the outside of its arms. The high-speed shooting and the pulling force of the serrated barbs could instantly cause a burst of lethality that could tear flesh to shreds.
Moreover, its hard shell definitely didn't look weak in defense. Gao Peng nodded to himself. This Golden-Tailed Paradise Shrimp had great potential. If it could advance to Epic grade, it would definitely awaken a good talent.
Lin Xinrui's familiar was probably limited by grade. Its level should have already met the requirements for advancement, and it only lacked perfect grade.
Gao Peng tapped on the number 6, and various methods began to appear. Gao Peng slowly closed his eyes and began to think.
Some of the materials were available in Gao Peng's laboratory, and some could be found in other laboratories.
However, no matter which method it was, there were still some missing materials.
Gao Peng sighed. This was really unfortunate news.
"Some of the materials are still missing," Gao Peng said to Lin Xinrui regretfully.
"If you're not in a hurry, I can get someone to quickly gather the materials. If you're lucky, you might be able to find the materials within a week. If not …" Gao Peng didn't finish his sentence.
Lin Xinrui nodded to show that she understood. In this world, there was no such thing as a Monster Breeder with a 100% success rate. Such a Monster Breeder simply didn't exist.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely do what I promised you," Gao Peng said seriously.
"Okay." Lin Xinrui nodded.
…
"Young Master Gao, I've completed the task you asked me to do," Huang Ya said over the phone.
Gao Peng nodded satisfactorily. After giving some instructions to Huang Ya, he hung up the phone.
Some time ago, Gao Peng had asked Huang Ya to do something. Previously, he had sponsored a group of orphans in the Baiye District. Under his cover, these orphans were able to get decent jobs in factories.
Therefore, Gao Peng had asked Huang Ya to fund the construction of a school in his name, and then recruit some orphans to study in the school.
The school was built in a place relatively close to Southern Sky Group. This way, it would be safer.
All tuition and miscellaneous fees were waived, and food and accommodation were provided. The curriculum included many types of content, but the most important thing was to instill loyalty to Gao Peng and the Southern Sky Group.
Gao Peng was also the principal of the school.
Gao Peng couldn't guarantee 100% loyalty, but he could do his best.
After the Cataclysm, there were many orphans. Even the allied government couldn't take care of all of them. Their living conditions weren't as glamorous as the media made them out to be.
Gao Peng wouldn't force them. He followed the rules of the trade. He could guarantee that the things they learned would be of the highest standard. As long as they performed well, he could even guarantee that they would have a Familiar.
