This time no mistake was made during evolution. Gao Peng had been monitoring all the time.

Uncle Liu gave Da Zi materials directly without his permission. Gao Peng was annoyed but also found it hilarious.

It was like when eating at home, there would always be someone picking food for you, again and again, ignoring the fact that you were already stuffed.

His intention was good, so was his consideration.

Even though they were kind but clueless, how could we blame them.

Therefore…

Gao Peng crouched down and stroke Da Zi on its head, saying, “Glutton! Don’t eat anything you see! Understood?”

Why it’s me taking the bag?

Da Zi was shocked, it raised head goggling at its owner with great astonishment, seeming to blame him. How come you are such a partial owner, you know this has nothing to do with me!

But it was still evolving. Soon it was exhausted, lying weakly on the ground.

Da Zi’s evolution didn’t stop until eleven p.m. It’s length increased dozens of centimeters, looked well-proportioned.

Its exoskeleton shifted color from dark purple to bright purple. If one was observing closely, they could see there were tiny thunder patterns on the edge of its exoskeleton. Its antennas drooped limply on the ground.

[Monster Name]: Purple-Backed Thunder Centipede

[Monster Level]: Level 9

[Monster Grade]: Excellent

[Monster Attribute]: Thunder/Poison

[Requirements for Promotion to Excellent Grade]: Mill Silverleaf into powder, mixed with water, drink the portion for a week; one Commander Thunder monster core crystal.

Not only it was upgraded to Excellent, its breed also changed. Its attribute transferred from Yin/Poison to Thunder/Poison.

Finally it was all set. Gao Peng glanced at Da Zi. It was lying lazily on the ground, white smoke enshrouding it. Insects did not sweat; they had spiracles, which opened and let vapor come out.

Lying on the ground, Da Zi looked like an overheated engine gradually cooling as vapor came out from spiracles.

After taking care of Da Zi, there was a dumb ape waiting to be babysat.

Gao Peng opened the black bag he brought home. Plenty of white ice cubes were piling in the bag, with some having melted into water, gathering at the bottom.

On the top of the ice cubes, bundles of pine needles were stacked.

Pine needles were silver gray, each as thick as a pen refill, around ten centimeters long, covered with silver light spots, just like twinkling stars.

This was Yin Cedar, which was mutated from cedar before the cataclysm. This kind of cedar preferred Yin and cold circumstances, and grew in Huaxia region. Only the World Roof in the Himalayas had this tree. Later on, Yin Cedar was widely grown along the country; it was no longer rare.

After the cataclysm, cedars mutated in different directions, among them a valuable one, Yin Cedar. Its pine needle was a high-nutritional food to Ice, Yin, Ghoul and Dark monsters.

Gao Peng bought sixteen pounds of Yin Cedar needles, which was a month’s food for Dumby.

Dumby was currently at Perfect grade. If it upgraded again, it would be of legendary Epic grade. Gao Peng had never met any Epic monsters before, he only heard about them on TV or in books.

However, Dumby just evolved; it needed to be nourished for a while before its next evolution.

Gao Peng took half pound pine needles out from the bag, then put them into an steel bowl, which was used by Da Zi, for Dumby. Dumby turned around, and deep in its eye sockets, dark blue flames danced for a few seconds. Then Dumby lowered its head to look at the Yin Cedar needles, hesitated for a while, and finally realized what those thin leaves were. It stretched its big fingers and picked several needles out from the bowl. Then put it them into its mouth.

As its sharp teeth were chewing the pine needles, silver and black mist raised from them, then drifted away in its skull. It looked like a skeleton smoking a pipe.

Mist was completely absorbed by soul flame, and as absorption went on, the flame grew bigger, as if it was in extreme excitement.

As the pine needles were chewed, its light spots all disappeared. Grayish brown dry debris fell off from Dumby’s jaw holes.

He stiffly repeated the same action, picking and chewing Yin Cedar needles.
