The fat golden rat was squeaking in Dumby's palm. Its four little paws were flailing in the air, and its tail was swinging in the air.
"I didn't expect to find something unexpected," said Gao Peng with a smile as he took the big rat from Dumb.
The big rat was small in Dumb's palm, but in Gao Peng's hand, it was huge.
It was as big as an orange cat.
Its fur stood on end, like a fluffy hedgehog.
It stared at Gao Peng fiercely.
It even bit the back of Gao Peng's hand.
Gao Peng shook the rat lightly, making it dizzy. Its bones almost fell apart.
[Monster Name]: Prosperity Rat
[Monster Grade]: Normal
[Monster Level]: Level 18
[Monster Attribute]: Mystic
[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Frightened)
[Ways to Advance to Excellent Grade]: 3
The little rat's name was cliché, and its level wasn't high. The only thing that caught Gao Peng's attention was its Mystic attribute, which Gao Peng had never seen before.
This was the first time Gao Peng had seen a monster with such attributes. In terms of probability, it should be quite rare. It might even be the only one in the world.
It was okay that its grade was low. Gao Peng could continue to cultivate it.
After being caught by Gao Peng, the Prosperity Rat struggled madly, continuously making all sorts of threatening sounds. Its voice was extremely savage. After a while, when it saw that Gao Peng didn't respond, it began to whimper softly, begging softly.
Gao Peng was expressionless. He threw the monster behind him, and Flamy caught it in its mouth. It flapped its wings and flew back to Abba.
It seemed like there were a lot of good things that had yet to be discovered in the wild. Moreover, some of the truly rare items that had been discovered by the monster hunting groups in the wild wouldn't be sold first. Instead, they would leave them for their own familiars. Only second-tier treasures that couldn't be used or had been eliminated would be sold on the market.
Take this Prosperity Rat for example. Just from its name alone, Gao Peng could guess what this rat was capable of. If it had been caught by a monster hunting team, no team would have taken it out to trade. Most likely, they would have kept it with them. If Gao Peng hadn't come out personally, he wouldn't have been able to get his hands on this rat.
After about two hours, the corpses of the nearby Lion Blade Bees were all found and piled up in the middle of the clearing.
Flamy spat out a mouthful of fire and burned the corpse to ashes.
In the end, all that was left was a ground full of ashes, and among the ashes were dim golden-brown monster crystal cores.
When the ashes were blown away, what was left was the crystal core.
The corpses of these Lion Blade Bees burned easily, and their cores were naturally resistant to the elements of nature. Naturally, they would not be set on fire.
Although they were only low-level Elite monster crystal cores, there were so many of them that they were worth at least a few hundred thousand credits.
Gao Peng sighed with emotion. With power, it was indeed very easy to obtain wealth.
It was no wonder that the real big transactions were done using monster crystal cores as currency. Otherwise, it would be easy to disrupt the market economy.
In the current world, Monster Trainers had quietly become a super popular profession within the past year.
If a year ago, only half of the students in a class wanted to become monster trainers, then now, 99% of the students in a class wanted to become a monster trainer.
Whether it was social status, wealth, or personal strength, any desire could be satisfied in this profession.
More importantly, Monster Trainer was a profession with very low barriers to entry. As long as one had a dream, they would be able to enter this profession. Although the mortality rate was very high without formal training, there were still many people who stepped into this profession one after another.
Countless people dreamed of becoming rich overnight. The market was full of inspirational stories about adventurers who happened to encounter two Lord-tier monsters that died together. Not only did they obtain the Lord-tier monster's corpse, but they also obtained the Lord-tier monster's infant.
However, the reality was that they might not even be able to defeat a cub.
Gao Peng collected the monster crystal cores and placed them in a pit on Abba's back. The golden-brown monster crystal cores were stacked at the bottom of the pit, shining brightly.
After a while, a small figure flew over sneakily. It was Silly.
Although its eyes were still closed, the tentacles under its body were all open. It floated in the air and wobbled around before finally landing on top of the pile of crystal cores. Lying on top of the pile of crystal cores, Silly felt its body going limp.
Silly had never seen so many crystal cores before. It did not know what they were, but it felt comfortable lying on top of them.
After lying down for a while, it could not help but use its tentacles to wrap around a crystal core and stuff it into its body.
Silly's eyes were closed while he was doing this.
I closed my eyes. This did not count as taking Gao Peng's things.
Silly was very pleased with itself.
Xiao Huang, who had just finished his training, happened to pass by the pit and saw the things in it.
He slowed down and bent down to grab a handful of crystal cores and stuff it into his mouth.
He shook his head as he ate.
It tasted bitter.
Then he bent down to grab a bunch more.
Pooh! So bitter!
.....
For the rest of the month, he was on the move and finally convinced the last Mountain Spirit to join his Mountain Spirit Station.
Gao Peng felt a sense of accomplishment. He lowered his head to look at the map in his hand. The map was full of red dots, and each red dot was the location of a Mountain Spirit.
Other than these red dots, Gao Peng also explored many areas, some of which were unknown to humans.
Of course, with Abba accompanying him, he did not encounter any danger along the way.
"Looks like the Million Mountains are not that dangerous," Gao Peng said regretfully.
"Let's go back." Gao Peng narrowed his eyes and looked to the east. That was the direction of Yuzhou City.
Below Gao Peng, a giant beast as tall as a mountain let out a low roar. Dark clouds rolled in the sky as it took firm steps toward the east.
"Uh, I remember that my crystal core was placed here." Gao Peng scratched his head. Could it be that he remembered wrongly?
Gao Peng stood next to a pit and tried to recall.
He remembered that he had placed the tens of thousands of monster crystal cores in a pit that day.
On Gao Peng's head, Silly looked at the pit guiltily. Then, it slowly turned around on Gao Peng's head. Out of sight, out of mind …
"Did someone steal them?" Gao Peng frowned.
Silly's body trembled.
"If I find out who did it, I'll skin them alive!"
