Chapter 2, Purple-backed Yellow-clawed Scorpion.
Although Da Zi did not respond to him, Gao Peng knew that the angry screech he had heard earlier was indeed made by Da Zi, as he was very familiar with Da Zi's voice after living together for so many years
but merely to live the latter half of life in stability, as an ordinary and common person
[Monster Status]: Healthy (Joyful)
Although Da Zi appears fierce in appearance, Gao Peng feels no fear at all, after all, this big fellow has been raised by him and has lived under the same roof for a full three years. More importantly, this is the last pet left to him by his parents
If one advances to elite quality, can they still advance to perfect quality afterwards
The deep purple shell emits a profound and enchanting hue under the illumination of the lights, while the pale yellow limbs produce a crisp sound as they scrape against the floor, akin to the sound of fingers tapping on a tabletop
It feels very cold, like touching a piece of cold steel
"Da Zi! Hurry up and come out, was it you just now!" Gao Peng shouted excitedly as he returned to the bedroom
Monster Name: Purple-backed Yellow-clawed Millipede
[Monster Attributes]: Yin Type / Poison Type
The pitch-black pupils were merely for show; Gao Peng knew that Da Zi had very poor eyesight, and his daily movements relied on the constantly swaying deep purple tentacles to navigate.
These are the dinner for Da Zi today. Da Zi needs to have two meals daily, one in the morning and one in the evening
He clenched his fist in silence, then relaxed it. Gao Peng got up and walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out a cold chunk of meat from the freezer. The hard surface of the meat was covered with some scattered ice shards. He took a miniature steel axe from the cabinet and placed the meat on a specially designed wooden board to secure it.
It is hard for Gao Peng to believe that such a lazy fellow is a fierce and brutal monster
For some complex languages, I am completely unable to understand, but I can still clearly hear some simple commands, such as bite him, play dead, and spin three times
Due to its large size, coupled with the fact that it appears to be a purple centipede... Well, it is essentially a giant, enlarged version of a centipede
Most importantly, only monsters of the lowest perfect quality can break through that legendary level and advance to the boss monsters
Initially, Gao Peng caught some insects in the community garden and urban green spaces to feed Da Zi. However, as Da Zi grew larger, Gao Peng realized that this approach was simply unfeasible... After exhausting himself for half a day, he found that he couldn't even fill Da Zi's belly, and it was much simpler and more straightforward to provide meat, which could also be purchased in large quantities from the market
However, Gao Peng's personality is somewhat lazy. If large purple is fed with internal organs, raw meat, and other such items, not only will the smell be extremely foul, but it will also be very difficult to clean and organize.
Looking at the large purple object beneath his feet, Gao Peng hesitated for a moment and focused his gaze on the large purple object in front of him
The large centipede actually has a diverse diet. When Gao Peng initially began to raise the large centipede, he was very cautious and unsure of how to care for it, after all, no one had ever raised such a creature before.
For Gao Peng, Da Zi is not only a friend but also a partner, accompanying him through three years of lonely and desolate life, and is the only companion left to him by his parents
Gao Peng shook his head, dispelling the strange thoughts in his mind, and lowered his head to glance at the current Da Zi.
However, after the passing of his parents, Gao Peng could no longer live peacefully as an ordinary person in this ever-changing world.
"Promoting elite quality..." Gao Peng murmured to himself, his eyes shining with immense excitement
Monster Name: Gray Plate Spotted Spider
Each monster's attribute box is different, for example, the little spider raised by Chen Po's family
Knock, knock
The large purple creature appeared so gentle! Looking down at the large purple creature, I gently tugged at its deep purple tentacles, which had a bit of elasticity, resembling two plastic springs
Measuring approximately two meters in length and palm-width, its head features a pair of menacing mandibles that continuously open and close, making it entirely unrelated to anything cute; even during the day, its presence could frighten an elderly lady to tears
After conducting a thorough search online, Gao Peng learned that the centipede is a highly omnivorous creature, particularly fond of various insects such as mealworms, crickets, beetles, termites, cicadas, dragonflies, spiders, flies, bees, as well as their eggs, pupae, and larvae. Additionally, it consumes earthworms, snails, and the flesh, internal organs, blood, and cartilage of various livestock and aquatic animals, as well as fruit peels, potatoes, carrots, tender vegetables, milk, and bread
Monsters of elite quality are exceedingly rare, truly one in a hundred. Among the same type of monster, even within a hundred, there may not be a single one of elite quality.
[Monster Status]: Healthy (Joyful)
Monster Weakness: Lightning Type
As for purchasing various insects in the market, well, Gao Peng admits that if he were to buy insects for every meal, he really could not afford to raise the big purple one—it is too expensive
Weakness of the monster: Fire type
Promotion of Elite Quality Requirements
[Promotion of Elite Quality Requirements]: Crystals from thunder-type monsters of level 11 and above, one pound of century-old thunder-struck wood, and ten stalks of Yin-born grass (Usage Steps: ... ... )
The difference between elite quality and ordinary quality monsters is not only reflected in their strength; monsters of the same level and type with elite quality can simultaneously take on two ordinary quality monsters without losing ground.
As for why one would not use their own large purple for experimentation, it is firstly due to reluctance, and secondly because it is difficult to find lightning attribute attacks, unless one were to sever a section of electric wire to test it on the large purple. However, it seems that even if the large purple's weakness is not the lightning attribute, it would still be charred by the electric wire.
Monster Level: Level 5
Da Zi did not respond to him, and the purple tentacles on top of its head continued to sway slightly. Gao Peng was indifferent, as Da Zi's intelligence was not high, roughly equivalent to that of a two or three-year-old child.
Unable to contain his inner excitement, Gao Peng gently touched the cold head of Da Zi and said in a firm tone: "Da Zi, I will definitely help you achieve elite quality!"
Moreover, the food served is simple and straightforward, with almost every meal consisting of chunks of meat paired with either carrots or potatoes
Gao Peng was somewhat dazed. After he inexplicably gained this ability following his eighteenth birthday some time ago, he could see certain attributes of monsters, such as the attribute box in front of him.
The purple-backed yellow-clawed centipede, this is what Gao Peng refers to as the great purple
This purple-backed yellow-clawed centipede is the only pet left to him by his parents
Gao Peng still remembers that Da Zi was brought back by his parents on the third day of the mutation on Earth. At that time, Da Zi was far from the massive size it is now, only the length of a chopstick
Wait a moment, is the monster in a state of joy? Is that little spider indulging itself? It seems to be having quite a good time! Gao Peng's expression darkened.
Hearing the master's voice, the large purple one in Gao Peng's mouth lay lazily in place for a while, and only after Gao Peng's repeated urging did it weakly crawl out from under the sofa
The steel axe struck forcefully against the meat block, causing the ice shavings on the surface of the meat to vibrate and scatter continuously
Monster Attribute: Wood
The leader monster is extremely powerful; such a level of monster has only been seen on the internet and television. The terrifying might of it remains unforgettable to this day
As Gao Peng gazed at the large purple figure, a data frame appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.
Mediocrity signifies ordinariness, which means that in times of disaster, there will be no power to resist.
At this thought, Gao Peng tapped his own head, wondering if Teacher Zhang was deceiving him again
"Dazhi, were you the one who scared that spider away just now?" Gao Peng squatted down and curiously touched Dazhi's icy cold head.
Take out a few carrots from the refrigerator, wash them thoroughly, and chop them into several large pieces before throwing them into the steel basin
Monster Quality: Ordinary
Monster Level: Level 3
Moreover, at that time, the shell on the back of the large purple creature was also a tender purple, with a slight pinkish hue, giving it a somewhat adorable appearance
The large, pitch-black eyes rolled upward, glancing at Gao Peng before continuing to lie down weakly. This master is truly boring.
Monsters have a very strong sense of territory. Although the large purple one is quite peaceful, according to the knowledge taught by the teacher, the purple-backed yellow-clawed centipede is an extremely fierce and brutal monster
Monster Quality: Ordinary
These antennae are capable of detecting scents and can also discern sound vibrations
After the death of Gao Peng's parents, he received a substantial compensation from the government, along with the savings accumulated by his parents during their lifetime, which ensures that Gao Peng can at least live a stable life for the rest of his years
Gao Peng's previous reckless behavior was also because he thought that a burning piece of paper could be considered a flame attack. Therefore, in order to test the authenticity of this ability, he engaged in a rather provocative act, not for any other reason, but simply because he could not hold back
After chopping the meat into six slightly smaller pieces, a large stainless steel basin was taken out, and with a gentle sweep of the steel axe, all the meat pieces were swept into the basin.
