Chapter 630: Human-Faced Fox
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Is this Emperor Gao’s newly developed monster? I have the desire to buy one just from looking at it!”
“I remember that the Hunting Department captured a red long-haired fox, but this is such a big change.”
“The point is... I remember when the hunting Department caught it, and it was a male fox.”
“...” Gao Peng frowned. What kind of nickname was “Emperor Gao”? It made him sound like an emperor of some sort. If he had revealed his Saint-tier monsters, wouldn’t he be promoted to Saint Gao in a minute? Such a simplistic and vulgar term. But the nickname was something that Gao Peng heard in passing. A nickname had to be given by others, not just whatever he called himself.
“Catch more of the Red-Tailed White-Head Foxes, a minimum of one hundred,” Gao Peng said to the Deputy Minister of the Hunting Department.
“Noted.” The Deputy Minister nodded.
Goldie acted like a general of the guard of honor, complete with a cold steely look, stiff and proud. Humph, a fox spirit! Goldie stood tall and walked like the most family-oriented duck of the 21st century.
Gao Peng thought it was interesting to watch. Goldie had a strong desire to survive, so Gao Peng didn’t summon Bi Yuan.
[Monster Name]: Human-Faced Fox
[Monster Level]: Level 37 (Commander-tier)
[Monster Grade]: Perfect/Perfect
[Monster Attribute]: Psychic
[Monster Skills]: Added bewitchment Level 1, Natural Intelligence Level 1
[Monster Description]: A highly intelligent monster that is good at learning with a strong memory. It possesses extraordinary charm. It is called a Human-Faced Fox not because it has a human face, but because of its powerful bewitchment that makes it easy for others to view it in its human form.
Gao Peng’s first reaction when cultivating this monster was that if they were in ancient times, people would truly treat it like a fox spirit. He brought the Human-Faced Fox to a laboratory with bright white walls.
There were researchers in white coats, a secretary walking hurriedly and holding onto files, and a logistician wearing a mask pushing the iron cart. This was a very busy laboratory, hence Gao Peng’s arrival didn’t attract much attention. Everyone was focused on their own duties.
Gao Peng called some people over and several researchers in white coats stared intriguingly at the Human-Faced Fox standing behind Gao Peng. They were all avid researchers. Just as there were people who enjoyed writing novels and people who enjoyed reading them, these people enjoyed studying different kinds of monsters and were obsessed with the rows and rows of data in their hands.
Gao Peng pulled the Human-Faced Fox over. “Study its learning ability and memory.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Gao Peng took Goldie with him as he left the institute. Looking at its puffed up yellow chest, Gao Peng smiled and patted its abs. “That’s good enough. Cut the pretenses.”
Goldie gave Gao Peng a side glare, and after a few seconds, relaxed its arched back. Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Gao Peng took Goldie and left through the side exit of the Southern Sky Group.
Goldie had on a large blue down jacket, the jacket so large that it could hold several adults, and red oversized sweatpants. It had a black cap on its head and black sunglasses that covered half of its face, with a string of beads dangling around its neck. Its exposed chest had complicated blue patterns on it. Although its identity couldn’t be hidden from those who intended to look for it, in the eyes of a stranger, Goldie wouldn’t be recognizable at first glance.
The pedestrians on the street were rushing about. Not far away, a shop was set up by the Southern Sky Group. The traffic there was over ten times that of stores next to it, as if a black hole was sucking up all the traffic.
There were very few people idling on the street. Almost everyone had their work cut out for them. Had anyone been acting lazy at this point in time, they would have been picked out and ridiculed in secret.
Monster trainers with monsters above the Commander-tier could join the monster team to hunt in the wild. Unlike Earth Star, where monsters had been hunted for years, resulting in a few areas requiring “sustainable” development in order to protect them, the Black Fog World was bigger and newer. It was a whole new continent. There were too many monsters, enough to require protection.
As long the monster had a will to fight and didn’t have a lazy trainer, the key monsters had all reached the Commander level. Although the number of Lord-tier monsters wasn’t high, there were millions of people in the Huaxia Region.
Like a pyramid, the number of King-tier monster trainers above Lord-tier dipped sharply. Nonetheless, it still amounted to hundreds of people. The number of King-tier monsters would soon explode, similar to a few years ago when the number of Commander-tier monsters had exploded.
“It’ll grow quickly...” Gao Peng sighed from the bottom of his heart. There wasn’t much time.
The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Gao Peng took his phone out and answered the call. “Young Master, there are people from the ancient tribes coming. They’re discussing cooperating with the president of the alliance. Chairman Ji told me to inform you.” This was Secretary Liu, who worked for his grandfather.
Gao Peng murmured, “Got it.” He frowned as he ended the call. You want to use our home as a battlefield.
Since I couldn’t afford to provoke two big players, I left Earth Star with everyone and left you two to fight it out. Fine, I won’t get involved.
But surprisingly, they came looking for us. Cooperation? Damn you! You want us humans to be your cannon fodder, right?
Gao Peng cursed under his breath. “Sh*t.”
He still wasn’t strong enough. If only they could be slightly stronger and add one Quasi God, and two divine artifacts, then Gao Peng wouldn’t need to be so cautious. He would simply flip the table and walk right out.
Gao Peng walked back and forth and forced himself to cool down and keep his emotions under control. Anger was useless. It had no benefit besides increasing the likelihood of making poor choices.
Those high-ranking government officials were very sharp, and they were supported by aides, so they definitely wouldn’t make stupid decisions. But there was a problem—they weren’t as strong as the ancient tribes. In comparison, they weren’t good with strategies, but they had a unique communication style.
Gao Peng was worried that if those people were unable to persuade them, they would become upset and start a fight.
His ability couldn’t be exposed easily, although if he revealed his Saint level in the immediate future, they would be surprised. However, it would definitely not be beneficial in the long run.
There was a fine line between a genius and a lunatic. Ability was the same; an Overlord-tier strength would gain appreciation as the top trainer on Earth Star, while a Saint-level ability would shift beyond appreciation and lead to panic.
The only solution was to find a Quasi God to hold down the fort, then try to let the monster break through the Quasi God level as soon as possible! This way, in the next war, one wouldn’t be caught in the middle and become cannon fodder.
After thinking it through, Gao Peng didn’t hastily call his grandfather. It might not have been a convenient time for his grandfather. Instead, Gao Peng sent a message to Secretary Liu requesting that his grandfather attempt to delay the visit of the ancient tribesmen for a week.
