Monster Pet Evolution

Zhang Yi had lost. At the same exact time, countless reports started to pour out.

The reporters had already prepared two different reports before the competition had even started. One was for if Zhang Yi won, and the other was for if he lost.

Inside one newspaper office, an editor-in-chief took out a blank piece of paper and slammed it on the table, hard. “Quickly! The newsgroup next door has already started printing. Where are our scripts?! Faster! I want to see a complete report by ten o’clock.”

“Boss, how should we report it?” A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses.

“Just do it! It doesn’t matter how! Just throw all the responsibility of this loss on our education system!” The editor-in-chief laughed.

Blaming the education system was a very common tactic. There were no right answers for such situations anyway.

Everyone started to criticize the battle. Trolls started to emerge on the internet and praise the foreign contestants while dumping on the local contestants.

There were also netizens that criticized Gao Peng for not joining the competition as a contestant but choosing to do so as a referee.

There were also those who accused him of being a traitor to his own region and conspiring with the contestants from the other regions.

Ji Hanwu was sitting in front of the computer and reading these posts, his facial expression frozen.

Ten minutes later, a video of the mayor of the city of Jinling, Han Yuanming, warning Gao Peng not to enter the competition started to spread on internet forums.

The general opinion of the netizens completely changed. Those that had criticized Gao Peng at the beginning all suddenly disappeared.

“They’re just a bunch of flies.” Ji Hanwu laughed.

…

Gao Peng let out a sigh. Contrary to what people were saying, he actually wanted the contestants from the Huaxia Region to win. There was no reason for this desire other than the fact that he was also from the Huaxia Region.

Gao Peng’s expression was normal, but his heart felt a bit empty, as if he regretted something.

What a pity… If it had been me in the competition, the result would have been different.

He pushed open the main door. Outside the door was a small figure wearing a small red bag who was staring at Gao Peng.

Goldie?

Gao Peng was stunned.

He looked around. The place was empty, so Goldie was the only one there.

“Why did you come by yourself?” Gao Peng frowned.

After thinking for a while, Gao Peng’s expression changed radically. He looked at Goldie and asked, “You’re not actually thinking of getting revenge? You’re already so vengeful even though you’re so young.”

“Quack!” Goldie blinked. I’m not vengeful. I’m full of hate. I’m a warehouse for hatred!

“It’s not impossible, but you’ll be going by yourself. Dumby is a Lord-tier monster, so if he went, it would just be bullying. No one would agree to that. If you really want to do this, I’ll help you.” Gao Peng patted Goldie on its wings. Goldie was becoming stronger and stronger.

Goldie opened its eyes wide, its expression very fierce. It shouted, “Go!”

Gao Peng took Goldie to the corner and took off its clothes, then called Dumby over to help activate Goldie’s passive ability.

After a minute, Gao Peng was leading a bald, muscular thirteen-foot tall duck onto the battleground.

“Uhhh, I don’t think this is proper…”

“What’s the problem? If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility.”

“But…”

“No ‘buts!’ Just do as I say!”

…

“Dear audience, the winner of the World Youth Trainer Championship is—”

Clang! The iron door abruptly started to lift up. The sudden sound interrupted the announcer.

The audience members were shocked. Was there another special program?

The event organizers, the members of the Monster Trainer League, and members of the military were all frowning.

One of the workers ran over to the high ranking officials and delivered a message.

“What a farce!”

“You can’t say it like that. He’s a young man. It’s normal to be this impulsive.”

They kept discussing the issue, but it seemed that no one intended to stop it.

Bang!

A loud bang was suddenly heard from the iron gate. First, it trembled, then the gate was pushed all the way up in one go.

Right below the gate, a muscular wing could be seen pushing against the iron.

A bald and muscular duck with no expression slowly walked out of the gate.

Goldie looked around. It ignored all of the audience members and set its sights on Daisy.

“You’re the one who caused me to lose… stupid hairless woman,” Goldie’s made a fist with its wing. It looked at Daisy with contempt in its eyes.

It recognized this woman. She was the same one who had defeated Zheng Xiao. She was the one who had caused it to lose money.

Daisy turned around to look at Goldie. She didn’t recognize it.

Gao Peng let out a cough. He took a look around and saw Zhou Tianmin, who had a profound look in his face, Li Yu, who looked astonished, and members of the Yuzhou University’s student association. He recognized some of them, though he didn’t recognize others.

So many people.

And… so lively.

Gao Peng took out a microphone and gave it a few taps. “Hello. Hello. Can anyone hear me?”

Gao Peng smiled. The sound quality of the microphone was good. The organizers didn’t cut off his signal.

He moved the microphone closer to his mouth and started to say, “Firstly… I want to congratulate Ms. Daisy for becoming the champion of the World Youth Trainer Championships.”

When the audience members heard what Gao Peng said, they all let out sighs of relief, especially the audience from the United Kingdom region.

Gao Peng had recognized Daisy as the winner, which meant he wasn’t there to dispute the winner.

“However, my little friend here doesn’t feel satisfied with the result,” Gao Peng added.

The audience, who had just let out a collective sigh of relief, was suddenly put on edge again.

Gao Peng patted Goldie on the thigh. “This is my little friend.

“Of course, words by little children shouldn’t be taken too seriously. This is a very important and serious event, after all.

“But my little friend here came running to me after watching the competition. It said that if it had taken part of the competition, it would have won.” Gao Peng maintained the smile on his face. “My little friend just turned one and a half years old. It hasn’t been promoted to the Lord-tier yet, since it’s still at the midway point of the Commander-tier.

“I don’t believe him, of course. The contestants and the familiars that were chosen to come here to compete are the best of the best from their regions. How can a peasant duck from the countryside be comparable?” Gao Peng took a deep breath. “So, our Champion, Ms. Daisy, can you help me and ask your Sea Dragon to teach my little friend a lesson?”

Gao Peng spoke very sincerely. No one would be able to find any fault with his attitude.

According to what Gao Peng had said, this would be a friendly match. It wouldn’t affect Daisy’s position as the champion.

Daisy was a bit hesitant to agree. She wouldn’t gain much benefit if she won this match, as this was just a normal Commander-tier familiar.

However, if she lost, it would greatly affect her prestige. The champion of the World Youth Trainer Championships not being able to defeat a peasant duck from the countryside?

She didn’t really want to agree to this match.

However, she looked around and saw the indifferent faces of the high-level officials from the Huaxia Region and all the looks of anticipation from the Huaxia Region audience members.

Daisy took a deep breath. Looks like I won’t be able to reject this. It was clear that she had no way of refusing.

“I accept your challenge, but I dare not say I’ll be able to teach your duck anything. It’s already a normal Commander-tier familiar.” Daisy suddenly spoke in fluent Mandarin. She also took a sarcastic dig at Gao Peng.

Gao Peng smiled, feeling excited.

He knew what he was doing wasn’t very proper, but he didn’t care. He couldn’t just let some foreigner come to the Huaxia Region and leave with the championship title.

If it had been because he wasn’t strong enough, he would have let it be, but Goldie had already taken the initiative to come to him, so Gao Peng felt it was just as well to go with it.

“Please.” Gao Peng bowed and stepped backward.

Goldie moved forward half a step. The muscles on its bald wings were moving crazily. The sounds of firecrackers going off could be heard coming from its wings.

The veins in its body started to thump fiercely. The sound of blood rushing through them could be heard.

Goldie stomped down on the ground roughly with its right foot and let out a roar. It let out a beast-like roar, its eyes red. The white jade basalt floor trembled and Goldie leapt up like a missile!
