Monster Pet Evolution

Chapter 170: Underground Sewer

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Southern Sky Group had a few factories that were used to manufacture various kinds of products.

Moreover, the manufactured products were mostly equipment for familiars’ basic training, which was also a very popular type of product. A large amount of finished product would be produced daily before being transported to large shops in each city.

The amount of the product that Gao Peng used was so little compared to the daily output of the entire factory that it was negligible.

At night, Gao Peng looked down on a Blood Scavenger Rat, a tiny, dirty-looking fellow.

“Wash it.” Gao Peng pointed at the water tap on the side of the training ground.

Li Junzong hesitated a little, then grabbed the Blood Scavenger Rat and headed towards the water tap. He took the hose that was wrapped around the water tap down and washed the Blood Scavenger Rat.

The Blood Scavenger Rat seemed uncomfortable after getting soaked with water. It squeaked in irritation, running all over and around the water tap, soaking the employee uniform that Li Junzong had just changed into.

Even if the employee uniform was the smallest size, it still looked big when Li Junzong wore it, like a child wearing his dad’s clothes. One couldn’t help but laugh a little.

The dirt on the Blood Scavenger Rat was cleaned off with some effort. Its fur stuck in patches on its body after it was rinsed, shrinking the rat to around one-third of its original size in an instant.

Li Junzong glanced at Flamy as the bird spouted flame in admiration. He then bowed down and touched the Blood Scavengers Rat’s head, his eyes filled with yearning.

Apart from speaking a sentence to Li Junzong in the beginning, Gao Peng did not speak another word to the boy. He just focused on training to increase the accuracy of Flamy’s flamethrower.

The range of Flamy’s flame wasn’t small, and the fireproof flying disc was made of a special composite material that had a strong resistance to flame. If the flame were to be fired toward other familiars, especially those that had fur, it would be a real threat.

The training ground was filled with the sounds of familiars training and the noise of the two very focused monster trainers. The two only stopped training when the lights of the dormitory not far away lit up. The workers of the factory had already left work.

“There are a lot of monsters in the sewers. I picked up the Blood Scavenger Rat there,” Li Junzong said suddenly as he looked at Gao Peng’s back.

Gao Peng slowed his steps.

“There are a lot of monsters down there, so people from the city are afraid of going there. The last time I went down there was because I was really hungry... Then I met the injured little blood rat,” Li Junzong exclaimed loudly.

Many people had asked where he got the rat, such as the small gang from the town that sold drugs. They had invited him to join them, but he knew they had only invited him because of the blood scavenger rat. After all, this rat hadn’t signed a blood contract with him, it followed him because it relied on him.

“I don’t dare to go down the sewers. Only the blood rat goes down, ’cause it’s more flexible than me. A lot of people have gone down there before, but they were generally eaten by the monsters.”

Gao Peng nodded, indicating that he understood where Li Junzong obtained his blood rat. He never would have imagined that so many monsters survived in the sewers of Baiye District, living on all kinds of garbage from the city.

After Gao Peng went back, he asked Wang Liang if he knew about the familiars in the sewers. Wang Liang’s reaction was unexpected. “Of course I know. Relax. They don’t dare to come above ground.”

Seeing that Gao Peng’s expression looked odd, Wang Liang coughed and said, “In the beginning, the monsters came up above ground, but after a few of them were killed by the monster trainers of Yuzhou City, they became afraid. Now they don’t dare to come up anymore.”

Gao Peng frowned. “So they just leave them alone? Let them reproduce down there without a care in the world?”

Gao Peng could not help but think about all kinds of scenes in disaster films. Mutant rats that flooded the ground, and mutant cockroaches that surrounded the entire city.

“I don’t know how other base cities take care of them, but in Yuzhou City... I may know a little.” Wang Liang glanced at Gao Peng secretly as he said, “It is also related to Chairman Ji.”

“Just say it.” Gao Peng frowned. He didn’t like things to be left hanging.

“Chairman Ji has a familiar that lives in the sewers, and its food source is the monsters living down there. I’m not sure what familiar it is, I only know that it lives down there permanently, and it is responsible for maintaining underground safety,” Wang Liang said as he forced a smile.

It’ll be better to ask Grandpa when I have time.

However, Gao Peng became slightly interested with the familiars in the sewers. Unlike monsters in the wild, these monsters were urban dwellers, even if they only lived in the sewers. The difference between them and wild monsters was like heaven and earth.

Humans controlled the light of the city, while they occupied the shadow of the city. Stealing the garbage and waste thrown away by the humans, living secretly.

After a week, Li Junzong’s work at the factory was already on track, and he was also getting more familiar with his job.

With a chest-level height, he wore a huge worker’s uniform as well as a pair of rubber gloves. No matter how one looked at him, he seemed awkward standing beside the workbench. He worked hard every day. Mixed in with a bunch of adults, with him not even taller than their chests, no matter how one looked at it, he seemed funny.

Gao Peng also took the chance to return to Grandpa’s place. He picked up Da Zi and Stripey, who had grown larger.

Da Zi and Stripey had grown bigger, but not the traditional meaning of FAT!

They grew stronger, more muscular. Maybe this was the difference between Grandpa and Uncle Liu.

Da Zi and Stripey were far from reaching the peak of their potential in the current species. So, their current leveling was at a rapid growth period.

Da Zi’s level had reached level 25, and it became the first ranked familiar among all of Gao Peng’s familiars. It might also have been the first time Da Zi led the entire pack in terms of level since Gao Peng signed the contract with Dumby.

As expected, there were a lot of benefits under Grandpa’s care. Da Zi had already felt the benefits from it. Deep in its heart, it had already labeled Ji Hanwu as the friendliest human being around, aside from its owner.

As for Silly, who always only played a small role, it had also been promoted to level 20. It was just restricted by its quality by still being in the Excellent Grade, so it could not break through to the Commander tier.

The Levitating Jellyfish was always a useless familiar at Pengcheng, and almost no one wanted to sign a contract with a Levitating Jellyfish and make it their familiar. The basic reason was that apart from flying, it did not have any attack or defense skills. Its space attribute was also useless! It could only carry one small item with its body, and the volume of the space was not even big.

However, Silly was a wood spirit jellyfish evolved from a levitating jellyfish, it had a wood type healing attribute as well as the space attribute. It was far from being comparable to a normal levitating jellyfish.

“So, this is your healing skill?” Gao Peng looked at Silly floating in the air, speechless. One of its tentacles lifted up, and a green light was emitted from the end of the tentacle. The wound on the back of the white lab rat in front of him healed about one third.

But the problem is that I cut this wound just using a nail clipper!!
