The next day, just as dawn broke, the alarm clock rang, waking Gao Peng from his sofa.
"Eh, when did I cover myself with a blanket?" Gao Peng rubbed his head in confusion, then stopped thinking about it and quickly got up to wash up.
After washing up quickly, he took out the bread he had prepared in his bag and quickly finished it. Then, he dragged Da Zi out from under the sofa. Da Zi laid on the floor lazily, not moving at all, allowing Gao Peng to drag it around. Its yellow claws scratched the floor, making scratching sounds.
Gao Peng put down the big guy in his hands and took two deep breaths. No, this lazy guy is too heavy. I have to let this guy walk on its own.
He squatted down and patted Da Zi's hard shell, making a crisp sound. "Da Zi, you have to walk on your own. Do you understand?"
Da Zi raised its head. The two antennae on top of its head swayed weakly as a response. Then, it laid on the floor lazily again, not moving an inch.
Gao Peng was helpless. He didn't know what was going on, but this guy was getting lazier and lazier. He frowned and thought for a moment. He remembered that Teacher Zhang had mentioned in class that there were methods and routines to controlling Familiars. Although these monsters were called monsters, they were just some other life forms that were different from humans.
Since it was a living being, it would have emotions and personalities. Even monsters of the same species would have different personalities, just like humans.
However, even a cowardly and timid person would become much more tenacious and unyielding after a few years of training in the military camp.
Similarly, some monsters' personalities were naturally suited for battle. Naturally, they didn't need much guidance to become Familiars. Monsters that weren't suited for battle could also change after undergoing special training.
However, Da Zi wasn't old. It was just that staying at home for a long time had caused its personality to become a bit of a homebody. Gao Peng squatted down beside Da Zi's ear and said enticingly, "Do you want to eat something? Let's go outside and play. There are many delicious worms. "
Da Zi's slightly swaying antennae suddenly froze. They straightened and stood up high.
Its head turned and stared straight at Gao Peng. Gao Peng's lips curled up.
.....
There was a leather collar around Da Zi's neck, and at the end of the collar was a small silver chain. It was held in Gao Peng's hand.
People came and went on the streets. Gao Peng carried a big red backpack and held Da Zi's hand as they walked through the crowd.
Although walking centipedes was relatively rare, it didn't attract too much attention. Nowadays, almost every household had a pet, just like cats and dogs before the cataclysm.
Moreover, there were all kinds of strange monsters. Although most people raised cute little pets or majestic monsters, there were always some people who didn't take the usual path and liked all kinds of strange little monsters.
For example, to the left of Gao Peng, there was a trendy middle-aged woman who was leashing a medium-sized Snow Lion Dog that was three meters tall and six meters long with a chain that was as thick as a baby's arm.
Yes, a dog of this size could only be considered a medium-large dog, not a truly large dog.
In front of them was a man who looked like an office worker, dressed in a suit and a bow tie. He walked hurriedly. On his shoulder was a black and red parrot that was holding on tightly to his shoulder, resting with its eyes closed.
When he passed by the Snow Lion Dog, the parrot opened its eyes and turned its head, coldly spitting out two words, "Idiot!"
The Snow Lion Dog was stunned. It turned its head to look at the parrot, its lantern-sized eyes filled with curiosity.
"Idiot, what are you looking at!" The parrot's words were sharp.
"Woof!" The Snow Lion Dog barked happily and stuck out its tongue to lick the parrot.
The parrot flew away quickly, and its owner, the man in the suit, was licked by the Snow Lion Dog's saliva.
The rich woman hurried forward and apologized. The man in the suit smiled helplessly. "It's okay. My idiot is too sharp-tongued. I'm used to it. I'll just change when I get back to the company." After he finished speaking, he lifted the bag in his left hand. There was a brand new suit inside … Obviously, he had prepared it beforehand.
These were just some small incidents on the streets. Many people in the New World were in the process of getting used to their adopted pets. Everyone was trying their best to adapt to their arrival.
Behind the man in the suit, there was an old man in his seventies walking around with a colorful toad the size of a millstone. The toad's back was covered with ping-pong ball-sized bumps. This was probably a Colorful Toad, a type of toad that was not poisonous. For some reason, many people found this toad to be very cute. They were specially bred to be a pet that was very popular recently.
In comparison, although Da Zi looked ugly at first glance, if one looked closely, they would find it to be adorably ugly.
There were many people on the streets, and many of them were walking around with their pets. However, no matter what kind of monster they were walking around with, they would always have a rope tied around the key part of their body and held in the hands of their owners.
This was nothing else. Many of the monsters here could easily break free from the thin rope. However, the rope was not tied to the monster, but to the respect of others.
They soon arrived at the school. The school was not too far from Gao Peng's house. It was only a half-hour walk. Now, all the schools were public and managed by the government. At the same time, the government strictly prohibited private schools.
Education had always been very important, especially in this new world. Children's thoughts were the most simple and the easiest to deceive. This was the critical period in a person's life where their thinking and thinking changed.
In the past, during peacetime, when a naughty child grew up to become a naughty adult, it would at most cause a small disturbance. However, in this new world, no one could be sure of someone's future achievements. If they signed a Blood Contract with a high-level monster, then their destructive power would not be small.
Gao Peng's school, Chang 'an No. 3 High School, was located in the suburbs. It was adjacent to the Chang' an City Armed Police Force Training Base. It was not far from the city.
Many places outside the city had become primeval forests. Forests represented the unknown and also represented danger.
Of course, those referred to the more remote forests. The general situation of the forests around Chang 'an City had been investigated by the government. There were almost no dangerous monsters left. Even if there were, they would be eliminated by the top monster trainers in Chang' an City.
There were also military sentries outside the forest. Dangerous monsters could not escape from the forest. Only some low-level monsters would occasionally wander from afar and wander around the suburbs. They were used by the senior students of the major schools or the monster trainers of Chang 'an City to practice their skills.
A row of school buses was parked in front of the school. The school buses were black and red in color. A layer of strong steel rings was fixed on the chassis. There were some spikes on the surface of the steel rings. The surface of the school buses was reinforced with three layers of steel plates that were as thick as a thumb. The tires were also made of a special material. It was a type of rubber tree that mutated after the world changed. The tires made with this new type of rubber were tough and elastic. Even small caliber bullets could not break them.
Gao Peng could not help but take a few more glances at the school buses. He was shocked. Monsters below the level of Elite would not be able to pose any threat to this school bus.
"Students of Grade 2, Class 2, gather here." A shout came from the school gate.
In front of one of the school buses was a red-haired woman who was about 1.7 meters tall. She was wearing a black leather trench coat and bell-bottomed jeans. She was standing beside the school bus. She was holding a wooden sign with the words "Grade 2, Class 3" written on it.
"Good morning, Teacher Murong." Gao Peng ran over and greeted her politely.
Murong Qiuye, who was no less than 100 kilograms, smiled and nodded. She said in a gentle voice, "Gao Peng, you're here. You can get on the school bus first."
There were two types of students that teachers liked. One was the children with good grades, and the other was the mischievous ones in class.
Gao Peng was undoubtedly the former. After all, he was the fourth in the first grade of his class. He was usually quiet and did not cause trouble, which made the teachers feel at ease.
When Gao Peng got on the school bus, there were already some students on it. Gao Peng's popularity in class was neither good nor bad. He was just an ordinary existence.
Of course, that was what Gao Peng thought. In reality, Gao Peng, whose parents had died and whose grades had defied the natural order, was a unique existence in the eyes of his classmates.
The Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede that Gao Peng was holding in his right hand attracted the attention of many students.
"So cute!"
"What a cute little centipede."
"Wow, that looks like a Purple-Backed Yellow-Clawed Centipede. It's considered a high-level monster among normal grade monsters. I didn't expect Gao Peng to have such a powerful familiar at home."
