“I’m not interested.” Gao Peng had zero interest in participating in this kind of television show. He also didn’t like the feeling of being exposed after he became a celebrity.
“Yang Cheng’s broadcasting station is willing to give out a Lei Yinluo as a reward,” Huang Ya whispered.
Gao Peng, who was stroking Da Zi, was silent for two seconds, then said reluctantly, “Okay then. When does their show start?”
“It will start recording in Yang Cheng next Monday.”
There are still four days left. It’s not very urgent. Gao Peng nodded in agreement.
Lei Yinluo was just a name called that these people used. Actually, Gao Peng once saw a picture of Lei Yinluo through his data frame. Its original name was Stone of Thor, and this Stone of Thor was the material needed for the Thunder Shell Lord to evolve to the Epic grade. To evolve, the Thunder Shell Lord would need two materials, and one of them was the Stone of Thor, while the other was 30 tons of Yu Spirit Water.
A spirit lake on Sky Mountain was filled with Yu Spirit Water, but Yu Spirit Water couldn’t be kept for very long. After being away from the Spirit Lake for a long time, it would lose its spiritual essence. But now, with the Stone of Thor in hand, the Thunder Shell Lord could proceed with its evolution.
Gao Peng found out that the materials that the Lord and Emperor-tier familiars needed to evolve were becoming harder to find. They were basically the best materials currently circulating the market of human society, and for most of them, there was only demand without sufficient supply.
If the level of demand continued to rise, one could only head into unexplored forbidden zones on Earth to gather materials of a higher grade, or perhaps… head to the other worlds through Spatial Rifts.
Gao Peng had already heard of someone who was lucky enough to travel to another world, then brought back treasures and familiars that belonged to that world.
But it was just through a temporary Spatial Rift, and it had disappeared after a few days.
Spatial Rifts that appeared on Earth mostly had time limits, so Spatial Rifts that were permanent were incredibly rare. Currently, the number of permanent Spatial Rifts that had been discovered on Earth was only three.
“Pa!” Da Zi patted Gao Peng’s leg angrily.
This guy isn’t even focused while he’s stroking me. Just what is he thinking? Which familiar is he thinking about?
Gao Peng was speechless, but after seeing that Da Zi was angry again, he continued to stroke its two tentacles.
Da Zi closed its eyes, satisfied, and made happy snoring sounds from its throat.
After stroking for a while, Da Zi felt sleepy. Gao Peng put it on the bed carefully, then got up and left the room, closing the door quietly.
One minute after Gao Peng left, Da Zi opened its eyes cautiously. It crept down from the bed, then went to the window to personally see Gao Peng climbing in a car before leaving.
Since Da Zi felt suspicious, it climbed up the window. As soon as its wings spread, it turned into a flash of purple-golden lightning and flew into the sky.
Gao Peng was going to the Tiange Academy. After all, he was the principal of this school… Except besides the first day, he hadn’t gone to the school even once.
At the school gate, two security guards were dragging the body of a monster over the ground with great familiarity.
Another person was washing away blood stains with a mop and a bucket.
They slowed down when they saw a car coming towards them.
“Principal.”
“Principal Gao.”
They put down their work and quickly greeted Gao Peng.
“Just keep doing your thing. There’s no need to worry about me.” Gao Peng smiled and waved. After he saw the monster’s body, he couldn’t help but say, “Looks like there’s more for tonight’s dinner.”
“Hehe.”
The group of people couldn’t contain their laughter. The rule that stated any edible monster killed by Teacher Guan would be provided as extra food for the faculty and student body had actually been suggested by Principal Gao.
“I’ll stay here tonight to have a taste of our school chef’s skills. Truth be told, I haven’t tasted the food yet,” Gao Peng said.
“It tastes really good!” The security guard gave a thumbs up. “Principal, you’ll see once you’ve tried it. Well, we should get going.”
“Go ahead.” Gao Peng nodded.
After the security guards returned to their work, Gao Peng walked to the Guan Yu statue in front of the school’s entrance.
“Teacher Guan, you’ve worked hard,” said Gao Peng as he bowed a little.
The statue didn’t move at all. Its eyes were half open and half closed, but it didn’t bother to pay attention to this shameless human.
Gao Peng wasn’t angry. He took three sticks of incense from the platform, then put them into the copper bowl after he lit it.
The smoke of the incense rose, whirling around the bronze Guan Yu statue.
Gao Peng suddenly stopped his footsteps. The Guan Yu statue had secretly leveled up to Level 42.
When Gao Peng told all of the students to light incense for Teacher Guan, thousands of students in the school had done exactly as they were instructed according to their class schedule. It was impossible to know whether the increase in level was a result of the incense.
In the requirements for grade improvement, Gao Peng had seen something about incense, which was how he came up with the idea. Now, it seemed like it had probably had a certain degree of effect.
To the current Gao Peng, a simple Lord-tier Normal-grade monster no longer interested him.
With Dumby’s ability, Ghoul-type monsters that were at the Lord-tier could be mass produced.
If I’m lucky, maybe one day, a student in this school will sign a Blood Contract with the Guan Yu statue? That would be like ascending to the heavens in a single step.
Looking up at the academy, Gao Peng lamented, Ah, dear children, this is the treasure that I, Principal Gao, will leave for you all. Let’s see which lucky child will become the one to be protected by the Goddess of Luck.
Ding ding ding.
The recess bell rang, and the quiet building gradually became noisier. The sound of children running and playing in the corridors could be heard.
Some students who had physical education and Understanding Monsters classes came out of the building and went to the field.
A small figure walked out of the building. He suddenly saw Gao Peng standing not far away, but hesitated a while before walking towards him.
“Big brother.” A boy wearing a sophomore uniform came and looked up at Gao Peng.
Gao Peng thought the boy looked familiar, then he thought for a while and remembered his name.
“Li Junzong, I remember! Are you used to school life?”
After hearing that Gao Peng remembered his name, Li Junzong’s face turned red. He seemed excited.
“I like it very much. Me and the few friends I have all like it here.” Li Junzong nodded nonstop.
The statuses of everyone there were nearly the same. The children of the Southern Sky Group employees and orphans were divided into separate classes. The status of every student in a given class was exactly the same, so no one could look down on anyone else.
Moreover, because they had the same experiences, these students became friends more easily.
At the same time, the school had strict regulations. They were strictly forbidden from insulting other students. There may have been competing in the school, but it had to be justified and benevolent. For good results in various subjects, they competed in practice competitions!
This school was similar to a semi-closed state, so in terms of management, it met Gao Peng’s standards.
“Okay. That’s good. Are you going to physical education now or Understanding Monsters class?”
“It’s Understanding Monsters,” Li Junzong said honestly.
From afar, it was still okay, but now that he was in close contact with his big brother, Li Junzong felt a strong pressure coming from Principal Gao, who was in front of him, just like the Commander-tier monster he had seen in the last Understanding Monsters class.
“I’ll go and listen in for a while.” Gao Peng thought that since he had already come to the school, he should go and listen to a class.
The physical education class was to train students’ physical fitness and at the same time, to teach combat and outdoor survival skills.
Gao Peng built a simulated wild area in the school that contained a small number of Level 1 monsters. Moreover, the claws and teeth of these monsters were removed, and teachers and school security guards were also supervising from the side.
It mainly trained students’ survival skills in the wild; it wasn’t meant to cultivate greenhouse flowers.
The Understanding Monsters class was held to bring in living or dead monsters to explain the monsters’ weaknesses and fighting habits.
After all, the things that could be learned from a book were separated by a piece of paper. In the end, what could be seen in real life was more informative, and the memory would be more profound.
