“Then what are their positive similarities?” Karen Chen forced a trace of a smile onto her face.
“Hmm, if it’s positives, then it must be their ability to eat.” Gao Peng contemplated for a while as he gently stroked his chin. “Big eaters!” he exclaimed in a firm tone.
“Croak!” The Big-Mouth Toad stood upright, making a loud croaking sound. The swelling of its skin looked like pits that were quite terrifying to look at.
“C’mon, look at this guy! Even though it eats a lot, has lots of swelling on its back, and likes to fart when it sleeps, it’s a good toad with a heart of gold.”
Karen Chen was confused.
“And also this Big Eater Pig. Although it eats a lot, it grows a great deal of flesh! It never wastes its food, as it’s determined to become a good pig that eats the least but has the most flesh.” Gao Peng rapped the big ear of the Big Eater Pig. It made an oinking sound while it continuously nodded, showing its happiness.
Karen Chen breathed in deeply, thinking that if she was able to defeat Gao Peng, she would have jumped high up in the air to hit his head. Why does it feel like your impression of me is as a big eater?
“No way!” Karen Chen rejected firmly. “I want a good-looking familiar,” Karen Chen finally came to the realization that she couldn’t let her older cousin choose a familiar for her.
“Good-looking?” Gao Peng was stunned for a second, then muttered, “I didn’t know that you were someone who judged a book by its cover.”
Gao Peng wasn’t demanding in terms of the outer appearance of his familiars, as long as they were capable and displayed good behavior. One could tell this from his early familiars, Stripey and Da Zi.
“Let me think about it.” Gao Peng went silent for an instant and finally clapped his hands. “I thought of one. But I need to get permission from its’ parents first.”
Karen Chen followed closely behind Gao Peng, her eyes filled with suspicion, as she was extremely doubtful about her unreliable older cousin, Gao Peng, at that moment. Gao Peng brought Karen Chen out of the laboratory, leaving from the back door of the laboratory, then led Karen Chen in the direction they had come from earlier.
As they reached the backyard and passed through the small garden, the back of the garden had a large and wide lake. The lake wasn’t very outstanding, and the scenery at the shore wasn’t as magnificent as a picture. The only benefit of this lake was that it was rather large.
Pit-a-pat. Gao Peng squatted down to pat on the surface of the water. In a flash, a big silvery-white head emerged from the surface of the water. Two sharp antlers were growing on its forehead, and its huge watery eyes seemed very happy to see Gao Peng.
“Puff—” It sucked in a mouth of water and then spat it on Gao Peng’s leg.
“You lost weight again recently, Chubby Boy,” Gao Peng praised.
This big fish with long antlers on its forehead was the fat child of both the White Dragon and the Silver Dragon. When Gao Peng had first seen it, it had been as fat as a shining white silkworm.
Now, it not only had long antlers, but had also become thinner, as though it had turned on a beautifying face filter.
“I was only slightly plump earlier. I’ve returned to my original looks now.” Chubby Boy wagged its tail happily by the shore.
“This is…” Karen Chen had hardly ever seen such a spiritual monster, causing her to be a little shocked.
“This is Chubby Boy, the son of the White Dragon and the Silver Dragon. It’s filled with the blood of dragons in its body. It’s a Descendant of Dragonblood.”
“This is the offspring of Grandfather’s familiars!” Karen Chen’s eyes brightened, as she had heard what others said about the offspring of this type of advanced familiar.
Usually, the offspring of King-tier or even Emperor-tier familiars would be in great demand, as they were believed to be promising youngsters. Some of the familiars under King-tier monster trainers would certainly be King-tier familiars. However, the natural gifts of the King-tier familiars’ descendants were incomparable to normal familiars. However, the offspring of these advanced familiars would normally not be for sale to outsiders.
They would only be passed down to their successors or relatives. Now, Chubby Boy had faintly revealed the early stage of development of the new hierarchy.
Inherited from one generation to the next, as long as the dominant traits could be maintained for a few generations, a creature would create a family with influential familiars for generations.
Although Chubby Boy’s talent wasn’t too bad, actually quite brilliant, Gao Peng wasn’t ready to simply take any new familiars under his wing. Unless they had extraordinary abilities or attributes that were lacking in his team of familiars, he didn’t need them.
If Flamy was really pregnant and gave birth to a little Fladie, then it would be a descendant of a double Emperor-tier couple at the Legendary and Mythical grades.
“If you’re fond of Chubby Boy, you need to get approval from the White Dragon and the Silver Dragon first. If they don’t agree, then I can’t help it. Also, you need to ask for permission from Chubby Boy, as well,” Gao Peng explained.
“I like it!” Karen Chen quickly nodded, staring eagerly at her older cousin.
Chubby Boy’s outer appearance was a lot better than the rest of the four monsters, not to mention that it was of high quality, and most importantly, it was the offspring of the White Dragon she admired most.
Two long shadows at the bottom of the lake were approaching, causing a stronger pressure as they made it closer to the water’s surface. Thud, thud!
Two long bodies escaped from the surface of the water. A splash of water fog rushed into the sky. As the mist settled, a faint rainbow was seen in the sky.
Gao Peng told the White Dragon and the Silver Dragon about the fact that Karen Chen was signing a familiar and was fond of Chubby Boy. The White Dragon and Silver Dragon glanced at each other, then lowered their heads to look at Karen Chen. The White Dragon hummed. “We have no problem with it as long as Chubby Boy himself is content with it.”
The Silver Dragon turned its head over its shoulder to sneak a peek at Chubby Boy without saying a word, then swiftly chased after the White Dragon.
“It seems that the White Dragon’s status at home isn’t low.” Gao Peng spoke as though he had realized something surprising and hid a grin on his face.
“Become a familiar?” Chubby Boy was totally dumbfounded. Do you want to turn me into a familiar?
“No, no, no—” Chubby Boy shook its head crazily.
Unexpectedly, the White Dragon and Silver Dragon, who they thought were the biggest obstacles, hadn’t rejected them, but Chubby Boy disapproved of it.
“Ahhh, Chubby… Chubby Boy, why aren’t you willing?” Karen Chen, who was squatting down by the shore, was anxious.
“Hmph. I get to eat and sleep every day in the lake. My life is so comfortable now. I don’t want to be a familiar that’s required to battle every day.” Chubby Boy blinked its eyes, a tinge of cunning revealed deep in its eyes. “Unless Brother Gao Peng is willing to be my monster trainer. Then I would agree.”
Gao Peng couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that Chubby Boy had rather good taste even though it was slightly lazy. It could detect the most excellent human monster trainer at first sight.
As Gao Peng caressed his face, he thought that he could actually earn a living with his looks and didn’t need to rely on his talent—it was so exhausting.
The smile on Gao Peng’s face faded, and he said seriously, “I already have many familiars, Chubby Boy. If you can defeat one of my familiars, then I’ll agree to accept you as my familiar. Can you do that?”
“Ahhh.” Chubby Boy was perplexed.
“She’s my younger cousin and has the same interests as you. I believe both of you will have many topics to talk about. Also, she’s not a monster trainer who goes to battle.” Gao Peng laughed as he said this.
Chubby Boy lowered its head into the water for a while. It only appeared back at the surface of the water after a long time, looking at Karen Chen with its thin white face. “Then… then you need to make sure to feed me lots of fish.”
Karen Chen’s eyes curved into crescent moon-like shapes. She kneeled down at the shore and lowered her waist carefully to touch Chubby Boy’s head with her fair and clean palm. “Oh, great! My name is Karen Chen. Next time, I’ll use all my pocket money to buy you fish.”
