Monster Pet Evolution Chapter 301 – The Journey Back

As Gao Peng looked at the back of the groom, he wanted to lend Silly to him so that he could wear it.

Gao Peng took another glance at the Spring Scar Beast. The monster’s body surface was very unique, but Gao Peng felt a sense of familiarity.

However, Gao Peng knew that he had definitely not seen this monster before. If he had read about it in a book somewhere, he definitely wouldn’t have forgotten it.

A row of data continued to flash within Gao Peng’s field of vision.

[Monster Name]: Spring Scar Beast

[Monster Level]: Level 16

[Monster Grade]: Normal

[Monster Attribute]: Wind

[Monster Weakness]: Very weak resistance to strong irritating odors.

[Monster Introduction]: A variant of the Sniffing Beast. It has lost the sense of smell of the Sniffing Beast, but it’s very good at distinguishing different hormones. It’s very cowardly and dislikes battle.

Sniffing Beast… Gao Peng had heard of this monster before. After he looked at the data, he looked at the Spring Scar Beast again, and no matter how he looked at it, he could see traces of the Sniffing Beast on the Spring Scar Beast.

No wonder I felt weird when I looked at it.

Gao Peng knew that some companies were conducting very cruel experiments on monsters. They commonly believed that cruel experiments could better stimulate the potential of the monsters.

In truth, basically every laboratory had conducted its own experiments on monsters before. It was human nature to want to become stronger and strive for progress. In an environment where there were no clear laws that dealt with experimenting on monsters, it was natural that such a situation would occur.

However, the experiments carried out by large-scale laboratories were usually bound by strict requirements and procedures. At the very least, with the condition of reaching their experiment objectives as the prerequisite, they would guarantee the test subject wouldn’t be in too much pain.

Gao Peng carried the Prosperity Mouse and walked forward. The rodent became excited about everything it saw.

Gao Peng felt embarrassed by it and was left speechless.

The things that got the Prosperity Mouse excited were just everyday items, like the Elite-tier monster Core Crystal, body parts of Elite-tier monsters, and other items in the laboratory that Gao Peng used all the time.

“This Prosperity Mouse sure is… a little low-class, huh…” Gao Peng whispered to himself.

Naturally, the Prosperity Mouse didn’t realize that Gao Peng was already complaining about it on its first day as Gao Peng’s familiar.

“I can only hope that it’ll improve once its grade is promoted.” Gao Peng felt frustrated. The Prosperity Mouse’s level was too low. It thought that everything it saw was a treasure. With its level, it would be easier to make money doing nothing compared to what it was currently doing.

“Boss, boss, I haven’t seen enough. Does the human world have this many treasures?” The Prosperity Mouse leaned into the gap of the cage, its eyes looking eagerly at the shops on both sides of the road.

“Treasures…” Gao Peng was truly at a loss for words.

This ugly rat actually likes treasure?! Silly suddenly became more alert and secretly held its fruit juice tighter.

When the Prosperity Mouse looked over at it, Silly suddenly grew nervous. “I’m warning you; I know Gao Peng.”

It could sense the presence of treasure. As long as there was a treasure that attracted it nearby, its senses would be activated.

The last time it had felt this excited was two winters before. It didn’t know the exact time, since the concept of time was too complex for a small rat like it.

When it heard the master say he was bringing it back home, it became visibly disappointed. It turned out the treasures didn’t belong to him, and they had just been out for a walk.

It placed its claws on its teeth and used its teeth to scratch its claws. It did this to get rid of any unwanted particles on its claws and sharpen them, and to grind down the size of its teeth.

Its teeth grew very quickly, by two inches a week.

The Prosperity Mouse has three evolution paths… Gao Peng thought in silence. Among all the monsters Gao Peng had seen, it was one of the monsters with the smallest number of evolutionary paths.

Perhaps it was because it was a Mystic-type monster, or maybe because it was a rat.

However, no matter the reason, Gao Peng decided to promote the Prosperity Mouse’s grade before making any further decisions.

Gao Peng was able to accurately predict the ability of the Prosperity Mouse. It could detect the general direction of a treasure, so the closer it was to the treasure, the stronger its senses would be.

Gao Peng whistled, and Da Zi flew over from afar. It looked at Gao Peng proudly. “Did you miss me?”

“…”

“Oh, you don’t need to explain. I know that you missed me.” Da Zi lifted up its head.

It glanced over at the Prosperity Mouse. It’s just a small little rat. It poses no threat to me. Nothing will be left of it after just one bite.

“Gao Peng, I want to eat roasted rat for dinner!” Da Zi intentionally said in a very sinister tone.

The Prosperity Mouse in the cage let out a whimper and looked at Da Zi with terrified eyes.

“Stop messing around.” Gao Peng shook his head, gathered his familiars, and headed back.

They passed by a shop, and Gao Peng decided to walk in. He lifted his head and looked at the name of the store.

Oh, it’s one of ours.

The shop was very spacious, and the floor was made with a special kind of glass. It shone brightly when the white lights from the ceiling hit it. Golden sand that looked like the kind one would find on a beach was visible beneath the glass floor.

There was a display counter every ten feet. The display counters used glass covers, and precious materials were encased in them.

“Hello, sir. May I ask what kind of materials you’re looking for? We at the Southern Water Store carry ninety-nine percent of the materials available in the market.”

Gao Peng waved his hands and said, “Call your manager.”

The beautiful young worker was slightly taken aback. However, due to her gentle nature, she just smiled sweetly and said, “As you wish, sir.”

She turned around and went to the back to get the manager.

Gao Peng knew that if he were to order materials when he got back, the order would still have to be processed there, so he decided to just get the materials he needed while he was already there.

The shop manager walked out wearing a white shirt with a blue tie. He recognized Gao Peng immediately.

Perhaps Gao Peng didn’t know the lower-level employees, but almost every one of the lower-level employees recognized him.

They only needed one look to know it was Gao Peng.

The manager tidied up his clothes, made sure he looked respectful, and then quickly walked closer to Gao Peng.

Gao Peng shook his head. “We’ll talk inside.”

The manager nodded to show he understood.

The young female worker who had attended Gao Peng at the beginning threw a few more secret glances at Gao Peng.

Although she didn’t know who Gao Peng was, the manager’s attitude toward him showed that he was important.

She felt that it was a pity that Gao Peng had just walked by her. She kept staring at him.

This made her feel a bit depressed.

Da Zi gave her a glimpse and swung its head upwards.

“Hmph!”

The worker saw the centipede walk past her. She thought she saw… contempt in its eyes?

“Do you have golden silver fruits, huangming flowers, lingxinzi, king grass, nine-clawed peacock top feathers…” Gao Peng mentioned a list of names of different materials.

He mentioned all the materials that were needed for all three evolutionary paths of the Prosperity Mouse at once. He also included materials that were good for kidneys for him to heal his body later that night.

The manager was very familiar with all the materials. He only needed to think for a while before replying smoothly, “We have all of the materials you mentioned at the start, but we don’t have any nine-clawed peacock top feathers. We do, however, have quite a few six-clawed peacock top feathers. We still have three blue heart solanum nigrum…”

Since he could get all of the materials he needed for all of the future evolutionary paths, he decided to just buy all of them at once. He informed the manager of the materials he needed and waited for half an hour. Half an hour later, he went back to the Southern Sky Group along with the materials.
