“I…” As Gao Peng was about to ask what it meant about stewing it, he thought about Moneymaker’s previous evolution methods and withdrew his words. He slowly lowered the hand he had lifted to touch Moneymaker’s fuzzy ear. “How could I bear to stew you?”
Moneymaker finished the drink all at once and let out a burp in a bold manner. Along with a snap, it fell from the table to the ground and lost consciousness.
The Dragon Elf King shivered after seeing this scene, not daring to utter words about wanting help to upgrade its level in case this human being poisoned it.
Fatty Big Sea snuck a look at those familiars that had found things to do. It yawned and said to Gao Peng, “I’ll continue to regain my strength. Summon me if you need anything.” Upon finishing its words, Fatty Big Sea spat out the Divine Well of Darkness and crawled into the well. The piercingly cold and dark divine water caused Fatty Big Sea to sneeze comfortably.
Moneymaker, who had fainted for three whole days, regained consciousness for the first time while the rest of the seven familiars were still fast asleep.
Moneymaker’s first appearance after it woke up displayed its tremendous transformation. First, its body size had become four times bigger than its previous size, and next, its outer appearance wasn’t as golden as before, but it had transformed into a strange form…
It looked a little bit like liquid, flowing all the time, but the outer appearance of its body had many intersecting surfaces. As these surfaces were too small, it looked like a sparkling diamond from afar.
Gao Peng gave out a low-pitched cough in an awkward manner, unsure if Moneymaker would get him into trouble if it knew that it had evolved into this ghost-like appearance.
Before it was completely evolved, Gao Peng hadn’t known how it would look after the evolution, therefore, he had only been able to roughly guess based on the name.
In fact, Moneymaker’s name after the evolution was the Treasure Rat. It seemed pretty normal, judging from the name. Before the evolution, Moneymaker had been named Detective Rat. Detective Rat and Treasure Rat appear to correspond to each other, right?
“Squeak, squeak?” Moneymaker stood up and lowered its head to look at its body. It jumped up excitedly after realizing it was shining with silver flashes. My body is so valuable!
[Monster Name]: Treasure Rat
[Monster Level]: Grade 70 (Emperor-tier)
[Monster Grade]: Legendary/Legendary
[Monster Skills]: Sense of smell of the treasures Level 5, Enhancement of Luck Level 4, Agile Body Level 6
[Special Characteristics]: Ultimate seeker of treasures
Hiding and Receiving Treasures (Treasure Rat will carry a treasure storage area with it to collect a large number of treasures. As long as there are treasures in the storage area, it will improve its ability to seek treasure and simultaneously quicken its speed and cloaking abilities. The current rate of treasure collection: none)
Looking at Moneymaker’s skills, Gao Peng couldn’t help his eyes from brightening. “Come here, Moneymaker.” He waved to Moneymaker.
Moneymaker ran over as its diamond-like flowing body glittered brightly. “What’s the problem, Gao Peng?”
“Go ahead and swallow this. I’m asking you to swallow it, not to eat it,” Gao Peng reminded Moneymaker.
Moneymaker blinked its eyes quietly. You’re asking me to swallow it, but not to eat it. Are you a fool, Gao Peng?
Moneymaker, which had just evolved, wasn’t used to its own abilities yet. Gao Peng could see through its ability at a glance, but Moneymaker itself was indeed confused. Under Gao Peng’s instructions, it could forcibly adapt to its Hiding and Receiving Treasures skill.
“Don’t tell me you’re secretly a huge Treasure Rat, Gao Peng?” Moneymaker said with its head tilted to one side. “I don’t even know my own skills, but I can’t believe you know everything so well.”
Gao Peng was speechless.
Moneymaker ate the True Dragon Fruit. In the field of Gao Peng’s vision, behind the rate of treasure on Moneymaker’s attribute table, a True Dragon Fruit appeared.
Indeed, I can see what treasures Moneymaker hides. In this regard, I won’t have to worry if it hides things away from me in secret. Gao Peng nodded to himself.
“You can try and see if your speed becomes faster,” Gao Peng said to Moneymaker.
Moneymaker raised its claws to give it a try carefully. “Gee, I seem to be a little bit faster.”
“It’s good that you’re faster.” Gao Peng nodded, then let Silly pass all the treasures that were currently not in use to Moneymaker. Silly had no feelings for these treasures as its heart was only occupied with the ample boxes of fruit juices in one corner.
After swallowing these treasures, Moneymaker’s speed became faster by more than ten times. Run like the wind, and be as fast as lightning.
Even when Moneymaker didn’t move, its body would gradually become invisible.
Boom! Stripey, who was in the distance, suddenly revealed a terrifying demeanor. Its furious aura of fury like giant waves rolling through. A violent and hot lava field burst forth around it.
It was normal for monsters that had just leveled up to the Saint tier to have a field that covered only within a radius of 33,000 feet. This was because an ordinary Saint-tier monster had a volume of no more than thousands of feet, and a radius of about 33,000 feet would be ten times the diameter of its body volume, which would enable it to increase its combat power.
Stripey’s field area reached up to a 330,000 feet radius. If converted, it was equivalent to within a radius of 62,000 miles. Also, because it was too tall, it could even see the people in the city of Hope clearly from this distance.
In fact, several big-scale cities didn’t even have such a large area. Stripey took a deep breath. The gloomy disaster clouds in the sky entered its chest.
Stripey’s body, which was big and tall as a mountain, emitted red blood lava rays. It looked like a dead tyrant that had walked out of hell or the underworld. A depressing and hot aura burnt others and hurt their cheeks.
In the Holy Domain space, it had manifested volcanic eruption and created a scene like judgment day—the earth cracking and lava spewing.
An invisible layer of chains was broken into pieces; Stripey broke through the Saint-tier restrictions and upgraded to the Saint tier!
“What colored the sky red?” People who were walking on the streets paused, looking at the view in astonishment from a distance.
“The Holy Domain…” The atmosphere in the factory was at full blast as the chimney released black fog. Ji Hanwu, who was patrolling the factory, stopped and frowned as he looked to the west. “A monster has broken through the Saint tier.”
“That’s the aura of your grandson’s familiar.” The White Dragon’s voice resounded in Ji Hanwu’s heart.
“Is it?” Ji Hanwu’s emotions shifted from anxiety to joy.
The White Dragon in the lake poked its head through the surface of the water, staring in Stripey’s direction with a puzzled look.
“I ate the meat essence, as well, but why could it upgrade faster than me?” The White Dragon’s voice was accompanied by a disappointed feeling.
Its level of evolution had always been ahead of others initially, but now, it was continuously being surpassed by Gao Peng’s familiars. This made it very unhappy, thus it was working very hard in secret. Besides, Gao Peng wasn’t too stingy to share the meat essence that Dark Child had decomposed with his grandfather and Uncle Liu.
With the White Dragon’s effort to do both things at once, it had managed to break through the to Overlord tier in a week, but before it could show off, Stripey had already made a breakthrough to the Saint tier.
“This…” The White Dragon felt stumped.
“Fine. I know that someone surpassed your level, but it’s okay, since it’s not an outsider,” The Silver Dragon emerged from behind the White Dragon with its head lying on the White Dragon’s neck. “Besides, the more capable you are, the greater your responsibilities will be. I don’t wish to see you encounter any unexpected misfortunes,” the Silver Dragon said with bitterness hidden in its heart while it was drawing small circles on the White Dragon’s chest.
The White Dragon furrowed its brow. “I don’t like to hide behind others. Please don’t repeat these words in front of me again.”
The Silver Dragon wasn’t angry, but in return, replied gently, “All right, I understand. I won’t say it anymore.”
