When he got home, Gao Peng realized that Dumb's soul flame seemed to be stronger after eating Yin Cedar Needles for two days.
He opened the refrigerator drawer. Eh …
Where are the Yin Cedar Needles???
The silver-gray pine needles that used to fill the freezer drawer were gone.
After tossing and turning, he finally found a pine needle stuck to the edge of the drawer, half of which was still stuck to it.
What's going on?
Gao Peng frowned. Was there a thief in the house? That was his first reaction.
He glanced at the Skull Ghoul Ape standing obediently in the corner and the Purple-Backed Thunderous Centipede lying quietly under the sofa. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a thief.
The only possibility was that there was a traitor in the house.
"Dumb, come here."
Dumb turned around and walked over stiffly.
"Did you eat it secretly?" Gao Peng pointed at the empty drawer.
Dumb looked down and saw half a needle stuck in the drawer. He walked over and tore it off, then put it into his mouth and chewed.
He walked to the trash can while chewing. He straightened his head and the hole in his jaw was facing the trash can. After eating, he continued to stare blankly into the trash can.
Gao Peng walked over. The trash can was already full.
The culprit had been caught. Seeing Gao Peng's unfriendly gaze, Dumby was a little flustered. It stepped back stiffly, then turned its head to face the wall to reflect on its mistakes.
Da Zi took the opportunity to crawl out from under the sofa and climbed onto Gao Peng's lap. He raised his head high.
"He ate it! He ate it! "Da Zi's voice kept ringing in his mind.
"Okay, okay, I know it's him." Gao Peng patted Da Zi's head.
"He didn't let me eat it!" Da Zi took the opportunity to snitch.
Gao Peng was confused.
You're not so angry because he didn't let you eat it, are you?
Gao Peng wasn't angry at Dumb for eating it secretly. He bought it for him to eat anyway. However, this kind of behavior of eating without asking was very bad. Gao Peng decided to teach this guy a lesson.
"Tell me if you want to eat more next time, okay?" Gao Peng patted Dumb's skull.
Dumb didn't know if he understood or not. He continued to stare blankly at the wall.
It wasn't too late yet. Gao Peng made a call. The owner of the store left his phone number to Gao Peng after he bought something last time. He also promised that as long as Gao Peng bought something from his store, he would definitely deliver it to his doorstep.
After making the call, the boss heard that Gao Peng wanted to buy another 15 catties of Yin Cedar Needles and 10 catties of Thunder Flower Fruit. He immediately sent his employees to deliver the items to Gao Peng.
The person who delivered the food was a tall and skinny boy. Seeing that it wasn't easy for him to make the trip, Gao Peng poured him a glass of water. After drinking the water, the boy nodded gratefully. "Thank you."
"It's okay. It's not easy for you either." Gao Peng smiled.
After signing the receipt, Gao Peng paid the bill and closed the door. He patted Dumb's shoulder. "Here, this is your food for the next two days."
Dumb smelled the aroma of food and turned to look at the black plastic bag.
"Two days." Gao Peng raised two fingers. "Eat half a day, understand?"
Dumb nodded, the fire in his eyes burning. Gao Peng hadn't signed a Blood Contract with him yet, so he couldn't communicate with him through his soul.
Gao Peng wasn't afraid that Dumb would go broke from eating. He could still afford the Yin Cedar Needles. One catty only cost 1,000 Alliance Dollars. 15 catties a day would only cost 1.5 Alliance Dollars. It was a good thing to be able to eat. The more beneficial substances he absorbed, the faster he would be able to evolve.
The stats window showed that Dumb needed to absorb 600 catties of Yin Cedar Needles to reach the first stage of his goal.
It wasn't easy to evolve a monster to the Epic tier. Just the cost of the materials alone would cost at least a few million Alliance Dollars. This was under the condition that Dumb was still an Elite-tier monster. If its tier was higher, the materials it needed would be more precious, and naturally, it would cost more money. Some of the precious materials were even in short supply.
No matter what grade a monster was, as long as a monster broke through a big tier after the Elite-tier, its grade would drop by one.
For example, when a Perfect-grade Elite-tier monster was promoted to Commander-tier, it would become an Excellent-grade Commander-tier monster. When an Elite-grade Elite-tier monster was promoted to Commander-tier, it would become a Perfect-grade Commander-tier monster.
This was because evolution was a process that consumed a monster's potential. Gaining something naturally meant losing something else.
Of course, as long as the monster trainer put in the effort to nurture the monster, even if the monster's grade dropped, it could still continue to improve.
After speaking to Dumb, Gao Peng opened the other red plastic bag. There were about five catties of light purple figs inside. They looked exactly the same as figs, but the color was purple. Through the cracks, one could vaguely see dark purple kernels.
Smelling the fragrance, Da Zi was very excited. "I want to eat! I want to eat! " Da Zi needed to consume 200 catties of Thunder Flower Fruit to evolve to the Perfect tier. Thunder Flower Fruit was cheaper than Yin Cedar Needles. It only cost 200 Alliance Dollars to buy half a catty. It had a soft and numb feeling when eaten, and was usually used as an ingredient for high-end ingredients.
Da Zi poured the Thunder Flower Fruit into the steel bowl. Looking at the fresh fruit, Da Zi's eyes almost glowed. But since its owner didn't say anything, Da Zi didn't act rashly. It only raised its head and looked at its owner. After getting Gao Peng's permission, Da Zi put its two front legs on the edge of the steel bowl and chewed the Thunder Flower Fruit in big mouthfuls. It ate the shell and kernels whole.
In the end, it only ate about a third of the fruit before stopping. It seemed to have eaten its fill. It lay down on the side and curled up into a ball.
Thunder Flower Fruit had a long shelf life. It wouldn't be a problem even if it was left out in the open. Gao Peng picked up the food bowl and placed it next to the sofa.
.....
The next day, according to the instructor's request, all students who had signed a Blood Contract had to bring their familiars to school. Gao Peng put a collar on Da Zi and led it out the door.
As soon as they entered the school, Gao Peng almost thought that he had entered a pet park. There were all kinds of familiars, either standing or lying down. At a glance, the entire school was filled with familiars.
The roars and hisses of the monsters mixed together to form a cacophony. It was extremely noisy.
These familiars came in different sizes. The most exaggerated one was a snow-white familiar that looked like a domesticated pig. It was five meters long and three meters tall. It looked like a mountain of meat when it stood there. With every step it took, the fat on its body rolled like the waves of the sea.
Beside it was a girl with a delicate face. The girl's cheeks were red and hot. She was ashamed and angry.
She remembered that it wasn't like this when she bought it …
Back then in the Beast Taming Shop, it was such a cute little white pig with a pink bow on its head. She fell in love with this cute little pig at first sight. She didn't expect that after raising it at home for more than a year, it would become like this. Its size was getting bigger day by day, and its appetite was also getting bigger day by day.
