“It only needs to keep eating fresh meat in order to improve its strength,” Gao Peng said to Uncle Liu. “Of course, if it could train, the effects would be more obvious.”
Uncle Liu took each and every word that Gao Peng said to heart.
“It’s currently at the Excellent grade right now, but I have a few ideas on how to evolve it to the Perfect grade,” Gao Peng continued.
Uncle Liu nodded emotionally. “You’re concerned. Excellent grade is fine at the moment. As long as it doesn’t have any problems, it’ll be able to have breakthroughs constantly.”
Gao Peng nodded. However, at the same time, he had some doubts. The book said that it needed to be at the Perfect grade in order for it to move up to another tier, but the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture had broken this magical curse.
Perhaps what was written in the book wasn’t accurate. Books were, after all, written by people. It was normal for them to have errors.
Gao Peng looked up the material required for the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture’s next evolution—Frost Breaths. Frost Breaths only appeared in areas with extremely cold temperatures. The other respective Breaths also only existed in their respective extreme climates. That meant they would be scattered all over. Another important fact was that these materials were hard to conserve, which meant that they needed to be used in the area in which they were found.
Gao Peng was now very experienced in conducting experiments, no longer the newbie that he once was.
Perhaps the requirement for the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture to be at the Perfect grade was for its stomach to be stronger?
The process of the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture’s evolution was for it to constantly consume all sorts of Breaths, then consume nourishing materials that would nurse and warm its stomach.
It was similar to how the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture trained every day. It would go through a series of exercises that would damage its muscles, then heal itself through its self-healing ability. Once its muscles were healed, they would be stronger than before.
It was the same principle for its stomach. However, this wasn’t a method that most creatures would be able to mimic.
Gao Peng directly told Uncle Liu his method. This would include how to use these materials to nurse the stomach. The methods weren’t difficult, but looking up different types of Breaths could be time-consuming, and Uncle Liu would be required to do it himself. Luckily, it only required the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture to swallow these Breaths, followed by the nourishing ingredients for the stomach.
This was something that needed to be done constantly over a long period of time.
To complete the evolution of the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture would be to settle one of Gao Peng’s worries. Initially, Uncle Liu had been kind to him, and Gao Peng had always wanted to repay his kindness. It was a shame that he couldn’t complete the collection of materials for the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture, but he couldn’t possibly conjure the materials out of nowhere.
Gao Peng suddenly remembered something. During his return, he had been so focused on the materials needed for the Blood Eye Bearded Vultures evolution that he didn’t notice that Goldie was sitting on the custom-made sofa that he himself had ordered.
Now that he remembered, Gao Peng’s expression suddenly changed.
He rushed back to the villa. When he pushed opened the door, he could hear the sound of the television. “There’s only one Haonan in Causeway Bay, and that Haonan is I, Chen Haonan!”
As if Goldie had heard the door opening, sounds of someone frantically fumbling came from the living room. The sound from the television suddenly changed. “First, never act hastily. Second, never turn a blind eye to evil. Third, I, the beautiful Robot Judge who always upholds absolute justice, the captain Praying Mantis, is here to see you!”
Gao Peng smirked. He changed into sandals and calmly walked down the hallway to the living room.
Seated on the sofa, Goldie was staring at the television seriously without blinking its eyes. Its body was stiff and hard, with its back as straight as ever.
When Goldie saw Gao Peng walk in, its eyes didn’t even move. Gao Peng laughed coldly. This fella is quite the actor. If it weren’t for the fact that I also used to pretend to study in front of my parents while I was playing computer games, I would’ve believed it.
Standing beside Goldie, Gao Peng patted the sofa so that it sunk under his hands. “So, isn’t this sofa quite comfortable?”
Goldie was stunned. Oh no! I forgot about that.
“Stand up.”
Goldie obeyed and stood up.
The cushion on the sofa sunk deeply with many wrinkles on the sides. Gao Peng’s face twitched. There used to be an elasticity to this sofa...
“Didn’t I warn you not to sit on my sofa?” Gao Peng said with a dark expression on his face. “Take out your pocket money. You’re going to buy me another one.”
Goldie turned around and pretended that it hadn’t heard him. After Gao Peng repeated himself a few times, Goldie angrily took out a few crumpled notes from its sling shoulder bag and threw them on the sofa. It held on to its small bag, not willing to throw even one cent more.
The number of people who can take money from me in this world has been reduced.
The same sentence that Goldie had uttered not long before reverberated in its mind.
Goldie’s eyes reddened. It tilted its head up 45 degrees, trying very hard to stop the tears from rolling out of its eyes.
Leaving the bungalow, Goldie found a deserted place and opened its bag secretively, then it took out the rest of the money and counted it a few times.
Finally, it rolled the paper money into a stack and put the stack in its bag. Rolling the stack didn’t carry any significance; its size would simply make it look like there were more bills.
Gao Peng took the money Goldie gave him and placed it into an iron box that was full of old and crumpled up notes. Gao Peng placed the iron box back under his bed and headed downstairs.
When he came back, he brought along the King Centipede Skeleton. Although it was a Normal-grade monster, it was still a Lord-tier monster. It was sufficient for the present environment, or at least enough to scare most people.
There was also the Winged Thunder Monkey Skeleton and Wood Peacock Skeleton. Dumby had so far brought three skeleton Lord-tier familiars to life. Its terrifying ability was starting to show its strength.
Given enough time, Dumby could bring about a terrible, deadly catastrophe.
Being at the Legendary grade meant that it had an imposing presence to produce a magnificent reputation for itself, whereby its name would be sung and praised for generations to come. People who encountered it would spread the word around, making it a living legend. This was what being at the Legendary grade meant.
Dumby’s current default grade was the Legendary grade. However, its growth in level had caused it to be downgraded to Epic. As long as it consumed enough Ghoul-type treasures, it would be able to get back to the Legendary grade.
If Dumby had been a wild monster, by its power alone, it would have been able to set off a terrible and deadly natural disaster. Given enough time, it would be able to summon a ghoul army and easily destroy a base city.
But that was only if...
Gao Peng looked over to the treehouse by the lake. Dumby was sitting there with elegant posture, patiently studying with its daughter.
Crazy. Gao Peng shook his head.
Gao Peng wouldn’t permit Dumby to let his ghouls roam around freely. He decided that he would build a special area for them in the mountains behind the villa. That way, if there were guests, they wouldn’t be frightened by the ghouls.
“Master Gao, the Yang Cheng broadcast station is asking you to attend one of their events as a guest of honor,” Huang Ya said to Gao Peng on the phone.
