After a day off, Gao Peng got up early the next day, washed up, and then knocked on Uncle Liu's door next door.
When the iron door opened, Uncle Liu couldn't help but smile when he saw it was Gao Peng: "It's Xiaopeng, you're up so early."
"Uncle Liu disturbed me so early." Gao Peng said embarrassedly.
"I'm going to take the breeder assessment. I don't know how many days the assessment will take, so I want to leave my Da Zi at your house for a few days. Please don't worry, sir. Da Zi is very obedient and will never run around. It won't bark. If you think it's too noisy, I can lock him in my house and I'll give you the key. You only need to feed it once a day."
"Don't go to such trouble. Don't worry, I won't starve your little centipede." Uncle Liu promised.
Gao Peng still trusted Uncle Liu, so he nodded and left downstairs.
What he didn't realize was that Da Zi had become very quiet since he stepped into Uncle Liu's room, too quiet.
After Gao Peng left, Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment before dialing a number: "Old Jiang, um, it's me. Don't get excited. Don't get excited yet. Your grandson has signed a contract to control a beast. It's a centipede with a purple back and yellow claws..."
"It seems to be of average quality."
"What advice should I give? Your grandson has exactly the same character as you. On the surface he doesn't care about anything, but in fact he is as stubborn as a cow. Moreover, this purple-backed yellow-clawed centipede was also left to him by your daughter and son-in-law. thing."
"Haven't the matter over there been settled yet? If you ask me, just kill all the disobedient people and replace them with a new group of obedient people. The most indispensable thing in the world is talent." Uncle Liu chatted casually, It seemed like they were talking about commonplace matters, but the words they spoke were creepy.
"Oh, forget it, you have your own ideas... Don't worry about Xiaopeng's safety. With me here, he will not be in danger."
On the other side of the phone, the call was hung up, and the curtains in the dark room were opened, revealing a majestic back facing the window in the office.
His snow-white hair made him extremely capable. He was wearing a loose black Hanfu with a layer of gold on the edge. Although the old man looked quite old, his body gave people an extremely terrifying eruption, like a calm volcano. It could erupt at any time.
After pressing the red button, a slim figure walked in from the door and bowed respectfully: "Chairman."
The old man looked out the window calmly, "Give the experimental department an ultimatum. I appreciate their talents, so I can forgive some of their willfulness, but that doesn't mean they can challenge the limit of my tolerance. If they don't use it for me, then There is no need to exist anymore, I only give them five months, don’t challenge my patience.”
"There are also problems with the Qinghai branch. I will solve them all within seven months. Tell Li Ye my true words. If they can't handle it well, then I will take action myself. They know the consequences of my action. .I don’t have much time to waste with them.”
After speaking, the old man waved the secretary out.
Turning his head and looking out the window, the old man's face was neither happy nor sad, and there was no sign of joy or anger. Only the fleeting love could be seen deep in his eyes.
One year, all problems must be cleared up within one year. It has been too long since he has seen his only relative in the world.
He didn't dare go find his grandson until all the problems were settled, because not signing a blood contract meant that he had no ability to protect himself. He didn't want his grandson to have even the slightest chance of an accident.
…
The animal breeder assessment location is at the Chang'an City Breeder Division, located in the suburbs of the city.
It takes several hours to get there by car.
It was already close to noon when we arrived at the location. The specific time for the assessment was at two o'clock in the afternoon. It took a lot of time to take care of the contestants who participated in the assessment.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw a giant black and white building scattered on the square. There were some giant trees planted on both sides. The sunlight was completely blocked by the giant trees, and it was shaded below.
After getting out of the car, I could more intuitively see how big the building was. It was like a small hill scattered on the ground. Blue-gray steel bars were exposed from the sides. There was a row of long and wide ladders in front of the door.
There are already a lot of people here. The square is full of people. Everywhere you can see are heads. The places under the big trees have been occupied. Some people have newspapers, plastic bags and the like under their buttocks. .
"Isn't the assessment only at two o'clock in the afternoon... How early did these people come?" Gao Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around, but found that he couldn't even find a free seat.
Forget it, Gao Peng shook his head and looked at his watch. The time displayed on it was half past twelve. Just as he was about to turn around to find a small shop to eat, a voice came from behind him: "Gao Peng."
It seemed like he was calling himself.
Generally, many people would habitually turn around when their name is called, so Gao Peng did not turn around. He was not an ordinary person.
He originally had few friends, his parents had an accident, his grandfather's whereabouts were unknown, and his grandmother and grandparents had died of illness before the disaster.
So the person behind him probably wasn't calling him. There are too many people with the same name in this world.
"Gao Peng, hey, university bully." The shouts continued from behind.
This time Gao Peng stopped and turned his head in confusion, as if he was really calling me
Because he should be the only top student named Gao Peng.
There was a group of people gathered under a tree not far away. Among them, a short fat man waved to him excitedly. Next to him stood a girl wearing a red skirt. The two people under the tree looked familiar to him. After thinking about it, he finally recalled their identities - Li Hongdou and Li Zigong.
Oh, it’s my classmate.
These two are classmates in their class and biological siblings. The elder sister Li Hongdou is generous and polite to others, while the younger brother Li Zigong seems to be a chatterbox.
"Hello, uncle, aunt." Gao Peng nodded, and then nodded to say hello to the two siblings, Li Hongdou.
"Little classmate, did you come here alone?" Father Li, who looked to be in his thirties, was wearing a decent suit and greeted Gao Peng with a smile.
"Yeah." Gao Peng nodded.
"Are you here to see the breeder exam too? Haha, we came with my mother to take the breeder test. Although my mother failed the exam three times, I believe she will be able to pass it this time! "Li Zigong opened his mouth and said. Li Hongdou, who was standing next to him, had black lines on his face and slapped Li Zigong on the back of the head.
Li Zigong turned around and glared angrily, "How many times have I told you not to pat me on the head? I suspect my IQ has become lower..." "It has nothing to do with me." Li Hongdou responded coldly.
"No, I'm here to take the beast breeder assessment." After hesitating, Gao Peng spoke.
"Eh?!" Li Zigong was stunned.
Li Hongdou, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be stunned. Father Li and Mother Li couldn't help but look at Gao Peng carefully.
Dad Li paused, laughed heartily, patted Gao Peng on the shoulder and said, "That's good! Young people must be ambitious! Unlike this bastard boy in my family, who just eats and eats, and is as lazy as a pig."
Li Ma also smiled back, "I'm afraid you should be considered the youngest among the candidates taking the animal breeder examination. Maybe our youngest animal breeder in Chang'an will be born today."
"Auntie is so complimentary. I'm not completely sure, so I'm just trying my luck." Gao Peng said sincerely.
After chatting for a while, it was already half past one, and the closed door of the breeder branch opened at some point.
Several heavily armed security guards came out with explosion-proof shields and a long black stick in their right hand to maintain order.
The contestants who participated in the assessment entered through the main entrance, and Gao Peng discovered that there were not many people actually participating in the assessment. Many people stayed outside, and they should be groups of relatives and friends.
"Bring me the ID card." The woman in gray work clothes said without raising her head.
Gao Peng handed the ID card through the window, swiped the ID card on the reader, and the green light turned on.
She raised her head and returned the ID card to Gao Peng. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Gao Peng was so young, and then her good qualities made her say calmly: "Next one."
Following the passage and entering a hall, Gao Peng felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the rows of tables and the white papers neatly placed on them. It seemed like it was probably a written test.
He found his seat and sat down. Not long after, the examiner came in, put the thermos bottle in his hand on the desk, and cleared his throat, "This assessment is a little different from previous assessments. This time our Chang'an branch decided to take a comprehensive literary test and martial arts test.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding. The writing test is based on the recorded video played. You will describe the attributes, preferences, and weaknesses of the monsters in the video in detail. An excellent breeder must observe the monster's habits and characteristics in a short period of time.
We will eliminate 90% of the people in the first level, which means that only 50 people can enter the martial arts test.
The martial arts test is very simple. I believe you have also heard that our beast breeder branch will provide 50 ordinary-level beast masters to the contestants who participate in the martial arts test, and all required materials during the exam will be provided by our beast breeder branch. . "As he said this, the examiner showed his big white teeth.
"As long as the quality of the beast can be improved within the specified time, all the materials you consume will be reimbursed by the association. But if the quality cannot be improved, sorry, compensation will be based on the original market price. Of course, the material fee also has a certain limit. If the limit is exceeded, it will be too much. If it’s more, it’s considered a failure.”
"It's so difficult..." A fat man sitting next to Gao Peng wiped his sweat and couldn't help but muttered, "I have participated 4 times and this is the most difficult one."
He turned to look at Gao Peng and said, "Don't be discouraged, little brother. The registration fee is not expensive anyway. At most, it's better to come a few more times."
