They didn't take him seriously at first. After all, it wasn't difficult to create reagents. Even elementary school students could make dozens of them if they wanted. Of course, there was no guarantee of the quality of what was made.
However, Gao Peng was not a typical youngster.
His talent had been proven by what had just happened with the Blood Raging Kong.
Could it be...
Even Ji Hanwu couldn't help but stare. He was extremely aware of the value of these three tubes of reagent.
His grandson had really given him a shock...
Ji Hanwu had only laughed it off when Gao Peng looked for him to ask for materials. He had thought that he was just doing something at the level of a child. It seemed that that was not the case.
What if that wasn't the case? He's my grandson! He is Ji Hanwu's grandson!
Ji Hanwu changed his tone to a serious one after clearing up his thoughts and fully comprehending the situation. He gave all of those who were there a sharp look. "What happened today is a company secret. It's forbidden to share what happened to anyone."
"Understood," one of them said. "Chairman Ji, I understand," said another. All of them were nodding to show they understood.
Ji Hanwu nodded, as Xu Heming was one of his trusted aides. Xu Heming's brother, Xu Heti, was the head of the security department of the Southern Sky Group. One could imagine the amount of trust Ji Hanwu had for Xu Heming to trust his brother as head of the security department.
To Ji Hanwu, these reagents were trivial. It didn't really matter, even if the benefits of these reagents brought him benefits. What he really valued was the safety of his grandson.
If others knew of his grandson's talents, it could bring danger to his grandson.
As someone who had a severe case of being overly protective of his grandson, he wouldn't allow Gao Peng to come in contact with any sort of danger.
"I have named these three drugs Earth Drug Type One, Petrochemical Drug Type One, and Royal Drug."
The Petrochemical Drug was meant for a Giant Ant.
A Giant Ant was a common ant-type monster. Its whole body was yellowish brown, its forelegs were long, and the feelers on its forehead were full of muscles. It was generally between five to seven feet in length.
Its special characteristic was its strength, and its advantage was that it was strong. The Giant Ant had inherited the talents of its predecessors, and that was the ability to carry things that were 30 times their weight. Considering its weight, being able to carry something that was 30 times its weight was a terrifying thing.
The only disadvantage was that it wasn't very quick. It also had a weak defense and lacked ranged attacks.
"A lack of long ranged attacks is a common characteristic among monsters from the earlier periods," Gao Peng said.
Even Flamy, who was able to fly around and shoot fire, had only had the range of a lighter before it had been promoted to the Commander tier. It had only been able to use its beak to peak at its enemy pitifully.
"It's hard to change their agility, as that would involve changing their whole body structure. However, it isn't hard to raise their defenses," someone added on to what Gao Peng was saying.
After being injected with Petrochemical Drug Type One, the Giant Ant slumped on the ground, and impurities started to condense around its body. However, these impurities didn't disappear after being discharged from the pores of the Giant Ant. They were like a layer of armor laying over the surface of its body.
The color of the Giant Ant body gradually faded, and its outer shell gradually hardened, as if it were becoming a statue.
Ten minutes later, the statue split open.
What came out was a grayish white ant. "I name this ant the Stone Heart Ant."
[Monster Name]: Stone Heart Ant
[Monster Level]: Level 7
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Preference]: 1. Sweetened Water. 2. Tree Saps.
[Monster Condition]: Healthy (Inflated)
This newly evolved Stone Heart Ant was like a bully. It kept walking back and forth in its room, beating its hardened shell with its limbs from time to time.
"Sweetened water? That's just water with sugar." Gao Peng called Silly over.
He then parted Silly's tentacles and used his right hand to reach into his body and fumbled around with his hands.
Silly looked at his master in suspicion. It would use its tentacles to lightly tap on Gao Peng's arm from time to time.
"Ah, found it." Gao Peng knew that Silly would've hidden many fruit juices within its body.
The moment his right hand came out, before anyone else could react, Silly had already smelled the aroma from the fruit juice!
"Mine! My fruit juice! Stu-stupid Gao Peng!" As quick as lightning, Silly used its tentacles to grasp Gao Peng's arm, trying to pull the fruit juice away from his hands. Its body was almost parallel to the floor. Since Silly was quite strong, Gao Peng was being dragged across the floor.
Bang! Gao Peng hit Silly lightly on the head, "Don't make a fuss. Let go. I'll take one fruit juice from you today, but I'll give you ten tomorrow."
Silly suddenly stopped moving and scratched its head in confusion. It then took out five bottles of fruit juice from its body.
Since Gao Peng had already made a promise, it handed them to Gao Peng.
He paused. Gao Peng looked at Silly with amusement, "You never lose, do you?"
Silly paid him no mind. It was only concerned with giving all its fruit juice to its master.
It then raised all its tentacles and started to dance around. "Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten bottles of fruit juice!" It rushed towards Gao Peng and used its tentacles to wrap itself around Gao Peng's face. He couldn't get Silly off, no matter how hard he pushed.
…
After tidying up his somewhat dirty coat, Gao Peng let out a cough. "Okay. While I was researching earlier, I found out what the Stone Heart Ant liked. It likes fruit juice."
As he spoke, he threw a glass cup into the dark. The glass shattered when it hit the floor. The fruit juice inside spilled onto the floor, mixing with the broken shards of glass.
The Stone Heart Ant lifted up its head and sniffed the aroma in the air. When it caught wind of the fruit juice, the Stone Heart Ant started to move. It turned around and stared at the fruit juice, then walked over. The pieces of glass on the floor shattered when it stepped on them.
The Stone Heart Ant started to examine the floor. The glass on the floor had all been shattered.
It lowered its head and calmly started to drink the juice. The swaying feelers on its head showed that it was happy.
Gao Peng then showcased the Earth Drug Type One and Royal Drug. They would be used on a Golden Light Dog and a Wolf Mountain Bird, respectively.
The Golden Light Dog was a common canine type monster. Its IQ was relatively higher than monsters around its level, and it had a gentle character. It was good for children to play with and an excellent canine type monster.
After the Earth Drug was used, the Golden Light Dog became the Earth Golden Light Dog. Its grade went up by one, while its strength and toughness both went up considerably. Perhaps the only flaw was that its fur had become a little dull, not as attractive as before. However, it did give it a look of maturity.
The other Mountain Wolf Sparrow was a common bird type monster that was commonly seen in Shancheng. It had evolved from the russet sparrow that had existed before the Cataclysm.
Before the Cataclysm, the russet sparrow had been in decline because of air pollution. However, relative to other bird species, its population was still high, with a high reproductive rate. Their population raised dramatically after the Cataclysm.
The Wolf Mountain Sparrow wasn't very big, but it was fast. Moreover, it had a fierce temperament. The inside of the bird's beak was covered with sharp teeth. After the Royal Drug was used, it evolved into an Emperor Wolf Mountain Sparrow, and its grade went from Normal to Excellent.
[Monster Name]: Emperor Wolf Mountain Sparrow
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Level]: Level 5
[Monster Attribute]: Yin
[Monster Preference]: Meat, bloodshot meat!
[Requirements for Promotion to Epic Grade]: Because the Royal Drug was used, it requires the usage of the same drug in order to evolve to the Perfect grade. Usage of the drug also makes it harder for it to be promoted to the Lord tier.
After witnessing the advancements of these monsters, the observers were stunned.
Xu Qingzhi had spent some time in the laboratory with her uncle. The more she learned, the more she felt that the monster breeder profession was really dependent on one's talents.
She now looked at Gao Peng the same way she looked at a monster.
