Monster Pet Evolution

Ji Hanwu was very happy. This was the kind of pride elders felt when they saw the younger generation achieve something.

Ji Hanwu decided that these three tubes of reagent—the Bloody Butcher Drug, the Earth Drug Type One, and Petrochemical Drug Type One—would be mass produced and sold after they were further researched by Gao Peng.

“The Royal Drug has more value, so we won’t sell it yet,” Ji Hanwu said softly. He then touched Gao Peng’s head. “In the future, if you need any materials, just ask your grandpa. Also, you only need to tell me any of the results from your future experiments. You don’t need to report it to anyone else in the company.”

Although Ji Hanwu was Gao Peng’s grandfather, from the point of view of the other three people there, it didn’t seem like he had spoken out of love and care for Gao Peng.

When they left the laboratory, Deng Yimiao let out a sigh. “It seems like he will surpass us within two years.”

“Yeah. Youngsters nowadays are terrifying.” Xu Heming had an unreadable expression on his face. “I’m afraid that he’s not that far off from me.”

Xu Qingzhi followed behind her uncle. She went into deep thought while listening to their conversation.

…

“Grandpa, are there any expeditions being organized by the Southern Sky Group?” Gao Peng tried to probe his grandfather after the three left.

Unlike other researchers, his research on the evolution of monsters didn’t require experimentation. He only needed to glance at them once with his eyes, so staying in the lab was simply a waste of time for him. He was there just to enjoy the air conditioning.

Gao Peng thought of the mysterious and unknown wild and the number of monsters there, as well as a variety of novel plants and extraordinary metals.

There was a very special group in the monster hunter world known as the World Hunters.

Every world hunter had their own title. They were celebrities in the monster trainer community. They were also one of the most unique and powerful monster trainer organizations.

Unlike most inactive monster trainers, they would go deep into the mountains and explore unknown areas where humans hadn’t set foot yet.

They were the explorers of the world and the warriors of the wilderness.

The military needed to defend the base cities and protect humanity. Nearly half the known areas that humans had explored so far had been scouted by the World Hunters.

Expeditions? Ji Hanwu stared at Gao Peng.

“You’ve always been wild, ever since you were young,” Ji Hanwu jokingly reprimanded Gao Peng.

Ji Hanwu remembered that during New Years in the past, Gao Peng would always climb trees, catch fish in the pond in the backyard, and catch dragonflies.

“It isn’t that you can’t go out to the wild, but you need to train your familiars more. The way your familiars fight is too crude,” Ji Hanwu said to Gao Peng.

Ji Hanwu wouldn’t force Gao Peng to stay in the laboratory to conduct experiments just because he was a talented monster breeder.

On the contrary, in this respect, Ji Hanwu was very progressive.

“The real wilderness isn’t a grove near the base city. Danger lurks everywhere, so before you get my permission, you can’t go into the wild. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs and have you stay in bed!” Ji Hanwu said to Gao Peng coldly.

Gao Peng thought to himself, I have a secret technique, Shifting Constellations. If you wanted to break my legs, you would need to break all of my familiars’ legs first…

Gao Peng couldn’t help but think of the hundreds of legs on Da Zi, Stripey’s eight legs, and the countless number of tentacles on Silly.

As for Flamy… there was no need to mention it.

“Your Da Zi is an electric type. Although it doesn’t have a lot of electric abilities, it could still use them in battle. The way it uses them now is too rudimentary,” Ji Hanwu shook his head and paused for a while. “Wake up tomorrow at six o’clock. Bring all of your familiars. Right, there’s some sportswear in the cabinet in your bedroom. Wear it tomorrow.”

…

The next day, at the break of dawn, Gao Peng was already dressed in sportswear and bringing his familiars down to the lake.

Grandpa was already waiting at the lake. He looked at the time, 5:57 A.M.

“Do 30 push-ups first,” Ji Hanwu said softly.

Gao Peng gave a look of confusion.

“I asked you to come at six o’clock, and you really came exactly at six o’clock. You’re quite punctual. Since you’re so punctual, I want to reward you with 30 push-ups.”

Although Gao Peng was dumbfounded, he still did as he was told.

With his physical strength being boosted by the Feedback from his familiars, Gao Peng was able to easily finish the 30 push-ups. When he finished, his heartbeat was normal, and he wasn’t red in the face.

“In the world today, the most reliable thing isn’t money or power. Those are just objects.” Ji Hanwu stared into Gao Peng’s eyes. “The only thing that can really be relied on is one’s own strength.”

As he spoke, Ji Hanwu extended his right hand, spread his fingers, and then clenched his fists. “Strength is the most reliable thing! Without strength, how else would I be able to control the vast Southern Sky Group!”

“It’s not just the familiars that need training. You also need to train your body.”

“Uhh, but we humans can never beat a familiar, no matter how hard we train,” Gao Peng said awkwardly.

“Is that so?” Ji Hanwu said with a big smile. His left leg suddenly shot out like a long whip. Only a blurred image of the leg could be seen. It was accompanied by a piercing sound. The tree next to them suddenly burst.

This strong and sturdy tree had been destroyed by a kick!

Gao Peng was dumbstruck. This was too outrageous.

Even a Normal-tier Black Raging Kong wouldn’t be able to destroy the tree with just one kick.

“I’ve only used 30% of my strength just now.” Old Ji had both his hands behind his back. A touch of golden light shone from the sky on Ji Hanwu’s short, silver grayish hair. A breeze came from the lake, and Old Ji’s clothes swayed.

He was just enjoying the worshipping gaze his grandson was giving him.

In the lake was the reflection of Gao Peng gazing at Ji Hanwu in confusion. Is this the person I knew?

“Although the strength that comes from the Feedback from the familiars is small, if our familiars are strong enough, the amount of power that is given to us through the Feedback will also greatly increase.

“A strong body will also allow us to run away faster when faced with danger!”

Gao Peng nodded furiously. He felt that what grandpa said was extremely correct. After hearing what grandpa said, Gao Peng suddenly became very interested in exercising.

“We’re monster trainers. Protecting our own lives is the most important thing. As long as we’re still alive, we will have a chance to change the tide of a battle.”

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gao Peng’s familiars. “Da Zi is an electric type. What a coincidence. I have a familiar who may be able to help it.”

“Thunder God Snail!” Ji Hanwu said softly.

Huge waves started forming at the end of the lake. They were accompanied by thunder and lighting as a huge figure slowly climbed up from the lake.

Gao Peng’s eyes widened. He had seen it before. It was really his grandpa’s familiar!

Its sharp purple horn pointed high, the spiral pattern on it ascended high up into the sky. Its huge back shell was the horn of the Thunder God Snail. A glaring arc of electricity ran along its body, and a pair of giant, heavy claws came out of its back shell, resting on the shore of the lake. Two deep pits were created by the electric light that shot out of the claws.

The data on the monster immediately appeared in front of Gao Peng.
