Wang Muzi sent the show’s script to Gao Peng that night through the Penguin messaging app.
Gao Peng opened the message, and inside was a list of names. On the list were the pictures of the materials and their attributes.
He looked at the photos, and rows of data appeared in his vision. He compared the data in his vision with what was listed. Most of the data on the monsters and materials were correct, but some were wrong. The attributes written on the list were very rough.
When he saw one of the photos on the list, he suddenly paused.
The photo was of a dandelion that was only four inches tall. The fuzzy fur on top was as white as a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain. It was so white that it hurt his eyes, and beneath it was a black stalk.
It was categorized as a material: Dalingshan Dandelion. Effects: Its fur has healing effects. Attention: A new species.
However, the data that was shown in Gao Peng’s vision was different.
[Monster Name]: Yin Yang Calendula
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Level]: Level 3
[Monster Attribute]: Radiant/Dark
[Monster State]: Healthy (Trembling)
[Monster Introduction]: It’s a brave and fearless Plant-type monster that likes to explore. It has the ability to heal and weaken the abilities of other monsters. As it’s still at a low level right now, it can only use the seeds on its head to make soup. This may be a good choice for it to make right now.
Brave? Trembling?
Gao Peng was in deep thought for two seconds. Things weren’t as clear cut as they seemed.
Gao Peng flipped to the back of the script. There was nothing fresh about it. It was similar to most of the popular entertainment shows on the market. The lines they had given were all very awkward and had been seen a million times. Reading it almost gave him cancer from the awkwardness.
However, he decided to just ignore it for the sake of Lei Yinluo.
Forget it. It’s just an entertainment program. Gao Peng wasn’t interested in calling out their mistakes and making himself look good. He would just go through the whole thing honestly, go home, and continue to promote the Thunder Shell Lord’s grade.
Gao Peng thought for a while and decided to give Wang Muzi a call.
“Old Wang, do all of the materials and monsters on the show belong to you?”
Old Wang was slightly taken aback. “Well, I wouldn’t say they belong to us. The money we used came from the higher-ups, after all. All of the expenses were accounted for… but if anything catches your eyes, I can throw in a word or two…”
Old Wang was very perceptive. He understood that Gao Peng hadn’t called him this late at night to chat with a middle-aged man about his life story.
Gao Peng didn’t feel embarrassed and spoke frankly. “I’ve looked through the information you sent me. There’s one particular material that I really like. The Dalingshan Dandelion. I like its color and style. Moreover, I think it isn’t as simple as it looks. Just name a price.”
Wang Muzi was dumbfounded. Since Gao Peng had already asked so directly, he wouldn’t be able to reject him. Although the Dalingshan Dandelion was one of a kind, it didn’t have much medicinal value. The results from the laboratory also stated that it was just an average medicinal ingredient.
Under such circumstances, he naturally couldn’t really reject Gao Peng. However, he was just an assistant director. He still needed to run things through the main director in a situation like this.
“It should be no problem. I’ll inform the main director and producer. As for the payment, for such a small amount, forget it,” Wang Muzi said hurriedly. Gao Peng wasn’t just a Lord-tier monster trainer or mid-level monster breeder. More importantly, he was the grandson of the chairman of the Southern Sky Group, the beloved grandson of the White Dragon, Ji Hanwu.
The two latter identities were the most important factor in Wang Muzi’s decision.
Wang Muzi usually wouldn’t have the chance to interact with someone of Gao Peng’s stature. Now that he had the chance, he wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Gao Peng didn’t reject him. People needed to have relationships with other people. Not taking their money was a favor that he did for them. If he took their money, they could start to worry.
The dandelion, packaged in a golden wooden box, was quickly sent over to Gao Peng. The box looked very antique, the carvings on it exquisite. It was obvious that the carvings had been done by hand.
He opened the box. Red silk covered the bottom of it. There was a layer of velvet on the bottom. On top of it was a foot-long dandelion. Its stem, which was black, took up two-thirds of the length. Only the petals at the top were pure white.
Gao Peng lifted up the Yin Yang Calendula. It looked like any normal plant.
Gao Peng blew at it. If it had just been a normal dandelion, the petals would have been blown away by his breath. However, the petals swayed and struggled to stay put when Gao Peng blew on them. Not one of the petals was blown away.
Gao Peng flicked it with his finger. Nothing happened.
He threw it against the wall. There was still no reaction.
No wonder those people had only regarded it like a normal plant and not a Plant-type monster.
What Gao Peng found interesting was that as he played with it, its status kept changing. It changed from trembling to fearful and anxious.
Gao Peng thought for a while and took out a Radiant-type monster’s core crystal from Silly’s portable space. He placed it on top of the Yin Yang Calendula petals.
It was rather strange. The Radiant-type monster core crystal wasn’t light compared to the Yin Yang Calendula. However, when it was placed on top of the petals, it didn’t move at all. It was as if it had been glued on.
He extended his fingers to lift the core crystal, but he could feel that the Yin Yang Calendula didn’t want to let go. Gao Peng found this quite funny.
It was like when children stared angrily at adults who took away their candy.
Gao Peng took away the core crystal and then took a Commander-tier dark type monster core crystal from Silly’s portable space. He placed it on the petals.
Immediately, a very pleased mood spread out from the Yin Yang Calendula’s body.
Such an easy creature to please.
Gao Peng took out a disposable blood collection device to draw some blood. However, when the needle pricked his finger, it was as if it was pushing against a rhino’s skin.
Gao Peng had not only gained strength from the Feedback but also an all-around improvement to his physical attributes. In order to withstand such a huge amount of power, his bones, skin, and internal organs all needed corresponding strength.
Gao Peng asked Flamy to help him create a wound on his finger, then he placed his bloodied finger on the Yin Yang Calendula’s petals.
Fresh blood dyed the white petals red. The Yin Yang Calendula trembled a bit.
Just then, a weak soul connected to Gao Peng through his consciousness.
It was like a flower that swayed in a storm, sensitive and strong.
Gao Peng patiently encouraged it to come to him. He made threats and promises. He was like a perverted man trying to lure a child with candy.
The simple Yin Yang Calendula didn’t have the ability to discern right from wrong. In the end, it was in the clutches of a certain Mr. Gao.
This was Gao Peng’s first Plant-type familiar. Compared to Silly’s lackluster healing ability, this Yin Yang Calendula was much more professional.
