After sending off Liu Zhaoyu and the others, Gao Peng returned to his room and took out the latest scientific research magazine.
Usually, when there were no customers, Gao Peng liked to subscribe to some magazines to pass the time and learn a lot of knowledge. There was no conflict between the two.
One of the articles attracted Gao Peng's attention. The author was Ming Gandan, a writer with a certain reputation in the academic world. He often published articles in major magazines.
The article mentioned, "Wood breeds fire, wood is warm … In the nature of heaven and earth, many win over few, so water wins over fire. Essence wins over firmness, so fire wins over gold … So wood breeds fire, fire breeds earth, earth breeds gold, gold breeds water, water breeds wood. Gold restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains gold. "
Ming Gandan mentioned that these were things he found in ancient books. He then mentioned that the ancient people knew these things a long time ago and then mixed in some other ancient books.
Gao Peng read with great interest and agreed with what he said. Of course, there were many problems with it.
The attributes of the monsters that Gao Peng came into contact with in the real world basically followed this rule.
However, there was no lack of exceptions. The birth of life was to create miracles.
Not all life followed this rule. There were also a few monsters that did not follow this cycle of mutual promotion and restraint. Some even went against the cycle.
Just like the Mint Cat that he came into contact with just now. It was originally water and wood. It was reasonable to say that the damage caused by water would be severely weakened. However, its weakness was water. It was the complete opposite.
Gao Peng thought that this might be the only business in the afternoon. Just as he was reading, a few people came to the studio.
There was a familiar face among them: Big Money Ma. No, it was Ma Jian.
Gao Peng silently apologized for his presumptuous behavior to Ma Jian.
"Mr. Gao, I'm here to trouble you again." Ma Jian laughed and seemed to be very familiar with him.
There were two people behind Ma Jian, a man and a woman. They were about the same age. Looking at the way they interacted with each other, they should be boyfriend and girlfriend.
However, that wasn't what attracted Gao Peng's attention. Instead, it was the colorful jellyfish floating quietly beside the woman.
The jellyfish had an octahedron, and there were short and thick tentacles swaying slightly on its lower body. What was strange was that the jellyfish was not floating in the water, but in the air!
Using the void as a sea, there was actually such a strange life form.
Gao Peng sighed to himself.
The jellyfish wasn't the one that needed to be upgraded. Instead, it was the familiar that looked like a cat or a tiger lying next to it.
It was not big, only one and a half meters tall. Its body was completely black, as if it had a layer of matte.
This was a Tiger Cat Beast. Gao Peng recognized this familiar. It was originally a cat, but after the Cataclysm, the tiger bloodline in its body had awakened. It had become a monster with the agility of a cat and the strength of a tiger.
Gao Peng looked at it. This Tiger Cat Beast was only of normal grade. Gao Peng was speechless. Indeed, how could there be so many excellent and perfect grades?
"My Tiger Cat Beast is of excellent grade. This time, I'm here to ask you to help it upgrade to perfect grade," the man said. His tone was very gentle, and his Mandarin was also very standard.
Excellent grade?
Gao Peng looked at it again with a strange expression. He confirmed that it was only a Level 18 Normal grade Tiger Cat Beast.
He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he was too embarrassed to say it.
Too much talk makes enemies.
Gao Peng didn't know if he should tell this man the truth, but when he thought about how he was not familiar with him, it wouldn't be good to tell him.
"Okay, then I'll charge you 60 Alliance Credits for this Tiger Cat Beast." Gao Peng nodded and said.
The man was stunned and looked at Ma Jian, puzzled.
Ma Jian was also confused. He quickly said to Gao Peng, "Mr. Gao Peng, I've mentioned your rules and charging standards to my cousin. He doesn't have any objections. Just charge according to your original price." Then, Ma Jian coughed twice and laughed embarrassedly. "I know that Mr. Gao is an honest person, but it's okay. Please don't give me a discount just because we're close. I also know that it's not easy for you to do business."
In a trance, everyone present seemed to see a tail wagging crazily behind Ma Jian's butt.
"I know. I don't mean to give a discount. It's just that I can only charge this price for this Tiger Cat Beast.
Otherwise …
It'll ruin my reputation. "
Gao Peng said calmly.
"Uh, what do you mean?" Ma Jian didn't react for a while.
His cousin squinted his eyes and looked at the Tiger Cat Beast at his feet. He then looked at Gao Peng and smiled.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Mr. Gao." After saying that, he directly took out his card and transferred the money.
He was a straightforward person!
Gao Peng liked to do business with straightforward people.
You have a request, I have a need.
Business was business, friendship was friendship. This was good. After the transaction, they didn't owe each other anything!
Looking at Gao Peng's back view as he took the Tiger Cat Beast away, Ma Jian's cousin took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Let Xu San answer my call. Tell him that I, Ma Yi, am looking for him."
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned and then paused for a moment.
"Young Master Ma, what's the matter?"
"I asked you to find me a Tiger Cat Beast of the lowest excellent grade, right?" Ma Yi went straight to the point.
"… Yes, Young Master Ma. Are you not satisfied with this Tiger Cat Beast? If not, then …"
"Let me finish," Ma Yi interrupted. "In the whole of Chang 'an City, you're not the only one who deals in familiars. Cao Hu in the south of the city and Li Laoer in the west of the city are all begging me to do business! Your big brother used to be my father's old subordinate, so I'm giving him face. Usually, when the company needs familiars, I also get them from you. I trust you. "
The person on the other end of the phone was silent.
"My sister's birthday is in a week's time. It's her 18th birthday. She likes Tiger Cats, so I'm going to give her a high-quality one."
"But you gave me a normal grade Tiger Cat Beast. What's the meaning of this?" Ma Yi narrowed his eyes, like a fierce tiger that was about to go berserk. "Do I look like I'm easy to fool?"
On the other end of the phone, Xu San broke out in cold sweat. His right hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
"Young Master Ma, I really don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to lie to you," Xu San begged in a low voice. "When the Tiger Cat Beast was shipped over, I had someone check it out. They said it was of excellent grade …"
"That's enough," Ma Yi said. "This matter ends here. I don't want a second time."
After hanging up the phone, Ma Jian was a little confused. He made a call and nothing happened. What was he doing?
Ma Yi put the phone back in his pocket, looked around, and found a random place to sit down.
He seemed to have seen Ma Jian's confusion.
Ma Yi's serious face showed a trace of gentleness. "Xu San has been a little dishonest recently. I'll take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."
"Brother, do you trust Mr … Mr Gao that much?" Ma Tong held back for a long time. In the end, he couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
He naturally trusted Mr Gao, but today was the first time his cousin met Mr Gao.
"I don't trust Mr Gao, but my eyes," Ma Yi said calmly.
In the end, it took two hours for the Tiger Cat Beast to be promoted to excellent grade.
Ma Yi stood up and thanked him.
Gao Peng asked at the right time, "May I ask where you bought this jellyfish?"
Ma Jian quickly said, "Is Mr Gao also interested in this Levitating Jellyfish? This Levitating Jellyfish was originally a specialty of Shenzhen City. Recently, a group of merchants imported a lot of them from there. They are now selling them at the Wuqu Square commercial street. This jellyfish is actually a small pet that you bought for fun. It can be used as a portable wallet. "
After saying that, Ma Jian grabbed the Levitating Jellyfish and opened the lower half of the jellyfish. He threw a bunch of keys in his hand into it. It was as if he threw it into another space and disappeared instantly.
