The Icefall Grizzly Bear had actually lost. The onlookers were in disbelief, wondering if the Icefall Grizzly Bear had been hired.
But on second thought, no one would be able to hire such an expensive actor. Most importantly, monsters were violent creatures. Which wild monster would listen to a human's orders?
Some trainers didn't believe it, so they sent their own familiars to fight the Six-Horned Dreadwolf.
Huang Ya naturally allowed them to do so.
A total of three trainers challenged the Icefall Grizzly Bear. Two of them were well-known familiars in the area.
Being easily defeated by the Six-Clawed Terror Wolf caused the Six-Horned Terror Wolf's reputation to soar to new heights.
After the opening ceremony, the door of the branch was almost broken by the crowd. Some came to visit, some came out of curiosity, and some came out of genuine desire to buy a familiar.
"Fanny, tomorrow is your 18th birthday. What familiar do you want?"
A burly Arctic man stroked the beard on his face and said with a smile.
"Dad, let me see … I think this familiar is pretty cool!" The blonde girl's eyes lit up as she pointed at a giant blue-gray centipede lying in a cage.
"Oh … My God, can't you get another one?" The corner of the Polar Bear man's mouth twitched. He was a brave man. He thought that lions, tigers, and bears were all cute. Before the Cataclysm, he had a cute little brown bear at home.
But he couldn't accept these ugly insects. It was fine if he just looked at them, but if his daughter brought one home … it would be a challenge.
"My dear daughter," said Wolfgang, forcing a smile. "Why don't you get another one?"
"No, didn't you promise to let me choose? You think this centipede is ugly? You hate it? "Fanny looked at her father suspiciously.
"Uh … Of course … Of course not."
Am I imagining things? Wolfgang rubbed his eyes and saw a large purple centipede lying on the wall, looking at him with disdain.
This centipede is looking down on me?!
Hmph, how dare it call a centipede ugly?
Da Zi kept a straight face and stared suspiciously at the ugly blonde man.
Hatred. pdg
The blue-gray Giant Centipede was one of the familiars that the shop didn't sell as its main product. Considering that centipedes might not be popular in the Arctic region, the Arctic people might prefer something furry.
In comparison, the cute Huaxia and Southeast Asian people preferred scorpions, centipedes, and spiders, these lively and active children.
The blue-gray centipede's full name was the Giant Frost Bone Centipede. It was a Commander-tier familiar. Of course, it was only a cub at the moment. Under normal circumstances, it would reach the Commander-tier when it reached adulthood.
Nowadays, the standards of monster trainers all over the world were improving. Almost no new generation would choose normal monsters unless their grade was very high. Elite-tier monsters had become the mainstream of the market.
Young people who had the slightest bit of qualifications and ability would choose a Commander-tier monster cub as their first familiar.
A Lord-tier monster's infant was still out of reach for most people …
"Alright, if you insist, then I'll buy this centipede." Wolfgang finally gave in to his daughter's request. After all, she was his little girl.
"Daddy, when I grow up, I want to be like my sister and buy a Giant Frost Bone Centipede!" Little Tommy, who was only nine years old, said happily.
Wolfgang was pleased. He gave his son a loving slap on the face.
"Son, if you dare to buy one, I'll break your legs."
Little Tommy covered his face in confusion. Why didn't you say that to your sister?
Wolfgang hugged his wife when he returned home with Fanny and Tommy.
"Is this the familiar you bought for our daughter?" His wife looked curiously at the three-meter-long blue-gray centipede.
"She asked for it herself. It has nothing to do with me," Wolfgang denied.
"Yes, Mommy. Look at how cute it is." Fanny took out a handful of polished gray ore from her pocket and placed it on the ground.
Smelling the ores, the Giant Frost Bone Centipede stuck close to the ground and sniffed. In the end, it devoured all the ores on the ground.
"Alright, I'm not against your hobby … but I need to know what this centipede is for. After all, it's your first familiar. It's very important to you."
"Its defense is very strong. Take a look if you don't believe me." Fanny rushed to her father's storage room and took out a shotgun. She aimed it at the centipede's back and fired.
Bang!
There wasn't a single dent on its smooth blue-gray shell. It looked as clean as new.
"It's just reached Elite-tier. When it grows to Commander-tier, its defense will be even stronger!" Fanny boasted proudly.
Those who bought familiars home naturally attracted the curiosity of their family and friends. Once word of mouth spread, there would be a new wave of purchases.
A day passed. Huang Ya counted the total number of monsters sold. Seventy-eight of them were sold. Eighteen of them were adults and sixty were babies.
Today's income alone was enough to cover the cost of the transportation and the cost of cultivating these monsters. The rest of the monsters sold were pure profits.
But …
"Young Master Gao, the transportation fee is still too expensive." Huang Ya smiled bitterly.
After all, it wasn't before the Cataclysm. The cost of transporting so many Commander-tier monsters was astronomical. Even if they could make some money, it wouldn't be much.
"Don't worry about it. Have the headquarters send another three hundred monsters over. We'll be relying on them for support in the short term. But I'll find a batch of monsters with potential in the Arctic region and cultivate them. Then, I'll build a monster breeding farm here.
I need someone I can trust to supervise this farm, and that person has to be able to hold the fort, "Gao Peng said, looking at Huang Ya." Do you have anyone you can recommend? "
Huang Ya was silent for two seconds. Then, with a determined look on his face, he said, "If Young Master Gao trusts me, I'll take care of this place! I won't let anyone — "
"You have to stay at the Southern Sky headquarters. If you leave, there won't be anyone left to talk to." Gao Peng rejected Huang Ya's request.
"Strength is secondary. I only want someone who's loyal, willing to fight, and smart."
Huang Ya recalled the young master's miraculous method of nurturing familiars. His mind suddenly became active, and he had more candidates to consider. "Ji Changming. Ji Changming is a new member of the Exploration Department. He's bold and decisive, and he doesn't lack opinions. He's also a smart person who knows what to do and what not to do."
"Yeah," Gao Peng nodded. "Tell Ji Changming to come to my yard later. You can leave now."
