Ebony Night Hound!
That was the scientific name of the black hound.
It was said that all canine-type monsters could evolve into Ebony Night Hounds. The Ebony Night Hound had become an alternative evolution path for canine-type monsters.
This type of canine had pitch-black fur that blended perfectly into the night. The color of its fur was the best camouflage.
Furthermore, its pitch-black fur could absorb most light. It was the killer of the night and the best guardian dog in the dark. Many manors and gardens liked to keep Ebony Night Hounds.
"I know your rules. You can name your price for a Commander-tier familiar," said Lu Xie. "Feel free to name your price."
Gao Peng glanced at the Ebony Night Hound and checked its various evolutionary paths.
After a long while, Gao Peng nodded silently. After eliminating the two strongest and rarest evolutionary paths, there were still 18 paths left.
After eliminating the five paths that required rare materials and complicated and time-consuming steps, there were still 13 paths left.
"Director Lu," said Gao Peng as he looked at Lu Xie.
Lu Xie was stunned. Director Lu?
No one had ever called him that before …
But it was a new way of addressing him.
"It's definitely not a problem to upgrade its grade. Besides, I have a few evolutionary paths for you to choose from. The price ranges are also different. Of course, the strength after evolution will also be different. You get what you pay for. You're a businessman, so you should understand," said Gao Peng with a meaningful smile.
Lu Xie slapped his head and said without hesitation, "The most expensive one!"
"Hmm … Five thousand. Five thousand credits, and you'll pay for the materials. The most expensive one is also the best one," said Gao Peng after thinking for a while.
Lu Xie was stunned. Five thousand credits. This price … was a little scary.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
Plus, he would have to pay for the materials …
The entire set would cost at least six thousand credits.
"Then … what's the lowest set price?" asked Lu Xie.
"One thousand credits," said Gao Peng as he raised a finger.
One thousand credits would only upgrade the Ebony Night Hound's grade, nothing else.
"The most expensive one then!" Lu Xie clenched his teeth and decided.
Before the Cataclysm, Lu Xie was able to rise from a minion to a big boss who monopolized half of the steel market in Chang 'an City. It was all because of his courage!
Moreover, when it was time to give up, he would not hesitate.
You have to give up something to gain something!
Before he came here, he had sent people to investigate Gao Peng. When he reached the depths of the investigation, he encountered resistance, but the things that were on the surface were enough.
Perhaps no one had realized that ever since Gao Peng had made his move, he had never failed, not even once!
That was terrifying!
What kind of concept was this? Never failing, which meant that the success rate was 100%.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, you won't be disappointed." Gao Peng smiled.
This was the best portrayal of not opening a business for three years, but opening a business for three years was the best way to describe it.
As expected, the cultivation of a Commander-tier beast was the real deal.
In fact, the fee wasn't high. Commander tier familiars usually cost between a few hundred to tens of thousands of credits. If converted to Alliance dollars, it would be millions to hundreds of millions of Alliance dollars.
Only 5,000 credits were charged, and Gao Peng had given a 50% discount to avoid scaring away new customers. After all, it wasn't easy to run a small business.
Gao Peng had lost a lot of money on this deal.
Lu Xie had made a fortune!
The price of a Commander-tier monster was a little different. It depended on the difference in level and quality of the Commander-tier familiars.
Even if they were all Commander-tier familiars, the difference between them was a little big. Some busybodies even categorized Commander-tier familiars into early, middle, late, peak, and so on.
Gao Peng was speechless when he saw this kind of fantasy classification.
He didn't know how these people categorized them.
In Gao Peng's eyes, Commander-tier monsters had a total of 20 levels. Level 21 to Level 40 were all Commander-tier monsters.
.....
Xun Quanquan stared at Abba in the container, dumbfounded. This huge spider was almost twice as big as before. Its huge body was covered in gray fur.
The two huge appendages at the front looked like heavy shields. It was as if there were two arm shields hanging from its legs. The arm shields were uneven, with gray grooves crisscrossing across them. There were also a few gray bone spurs protruding from the sides.
Dong!
Its two limbs swung and smashed into the tempered glass. There was a muffled sound, and two spiderweb-like cracks appeared where it hit.
Abba swung its two limbs again!
The tempered glass shattered instantly. Xun Quanquan hid behind the table and screamed, watching the monster struggle to climb out of the container.
The commotion in the laboratory alerted the people outside.
Then, after opening the door, he saw a gray crab swaggering in the center of the laboratory, flaunting its might and looking insufferably arrogant.
No.
This wasn't a crab.
This looked like a spider …
The group of people outside the door was stunned. They looked at the strange spider that was one meter in diameter and covered in armor-like scales.
A row of data flashed in front of Gao Peng's eyes.
[Frenzy Evolution] succeeded …
Evolved successfully — Gray Shield Armored Spider!
"Abba." Gao Peng scolded, "Why did you destroy the container in the laboratory!"
When Abba saw that it was Gao Peng, it was like a deflated balloon. Its aura disappeared without a trace. It hurriedly covered its eyes with its two shield-like front claws, blocking its face from looking at Gao Peng. Then, it tilted its butt and retreated.
Dong!
It knocked into the leg of the table.
It fell and staggered.
This idiot. Gao Peng suddenly realized that all the familiars under his command seemed to be a little stupid.
As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps …
Gao Peng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.
"Go to my office first. Don't destroy it. When you get there, be quiet and don't touch anything," Gao Peng reminded Abba.
The others were curious. Could this spider understand such complicated words?
What made their eyeballs fall to the ground was that Abba actually nodded like a human, then obediently crawled out of the laboratory. However, the way it walked was a little strange. It was walking sideways.
Although Abba's level wasn't high, its intelligence wasn't low. After interacting with Granny Chen for a long time, it could understand some human language.
The materials needed for the evolution of the Ebony Night Hound couldn't be bought at the moment. After all, it was a Commander-tier familiar. The materials needed were rare on the market. It would take some time to prepare the materials, so Lu Xie arranged a time with Gao Peng. He would come next week.
After everyone left, Gao Peng bent down to clean up the glass container on the floor.
After cleaning up the glass, he used a mop to dry the water on the floor before leaving the laboratory. At the same time, he said to the finance department, "Order a new one with a bigger volume for that container. Reimburse the cost on my account."
After work, Gao Peng left the studio with Abba. In the elevator, they met a young man in a suit. On the young man's shoulder was a Black Light Parrot.
When the Black Light Parrot saw Gao Peng, it opened its eyes wide and shrieked, "Thief!"
